Serenity: Full Circle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
Some people avoid conflict and some are drawn to it like a moth to a flame. This adventure is about those who risk the flame and must live with the lasting scars. These are the few that when exposed to the edgy intrigue of danger become more than the sum of their parts. This tale follows the formation of the Serenity team into what lies beyond - shaping them, as a blast furnace melds iron into steel, to becoming one of the most sought-after teams in the world. When beckoned by various governmental agencies, they slip seamlessly into the world of black ops. Lucrative, yes; but in one form or another, there's always a price to be levied. Are the spoils worth the cost? You be that judge. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Little. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/191316/bk_acx0_191316_sample.mp3.

Cake Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
Daring yet aimless, smart but slightly strange, Cake Time's young female protagonist keeps making slippery choices, sliding into the dangerous space where curiosity melds with fear and desires turn into dirty messes. In "How Not to Have an Abortion" the teenage narrator looks for a ride from the clinic between her AP exams. In "Easy Target", the now-college-grad agrees to go to a swingers party with a handsome stranger. A decade later, in "Glow" she is suddenly confronted by the disturbing and thrilling fact of her lover's secret daughter. Ultimately, Cake Time grapples with urgent, timeless questions: why intelligent girls make terrible choices, where to negotiate a private self in an increasingly public world, and how to love madly without losing a sense of self. ungekürzt.

Sri Aurobindo & India's Rebirth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
Revolutionary, philosopher, litterateur, and seer, Sri Aurobindo remains one of the brightest minds India has ever had. This book captures the evolution of his thought through excerpts from his political articles and speeches, essays, talks with and letters to disciples and public messages - presented chronologically. It includes his views on Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose; his doubts about Gandhi’s method to attain freedom and insistence on Ahimsa; and his very distinctive contribution to the nascent Nationalist Movement. Both prophetic of the challenges to come India’s way post-Independence and persuaded of her potential to overcome them, Sri Aurobindo’s vision of a new India melds the spiritual with the political. More than 60 years after his passing, Sri Aurobindo’s penetrating insights on issues such as building on India’s cultural and spiritual foundations, a national agenda for education, Hindu-Muslim coexistence and the need to distinguish reason from a blind imitation of the West continue to resonate. ungekürzt.

Bowie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
Simon Critchley first encountered David Bowie in the early '70s, when the singer appeared on Britain's most-watched music show, Top of the Pops. His performance of "Starman" mesmerized Critchley: it was "so sexual, so knowing, so strange". Two days later Critchley's mum bought a copy of the single; she liked both the song and the performer's bright orange hair (she had previously been a hairdresser). The seed of a lifelong love affair was thus planted in the mind of her son, aged 12. In this concise and engaging excursion through the songs of one of the world's greatest pop stars, Critchley, whose writings on philosophy have garnered widespread praise, melds personal narratives of how Bowie lit up his dull life in southern England's suburbs with philosophical forays into the way concepts of authenticity and identity are turned inside out in Bowie's work. The result is nearly as provocative and mind-expanding as the artist it portrays. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Critchley.

A Line Above the Sky
Guardian Books to Watch 2022 Evening Standard Books to Watch 2022 Bookseller Editor's Choice 'This book is beautiful' Emma Jane Unsworth Climbing gives you the illusion of being in control, just for a while, the tantalising sense of being able to stay one move ahead of death. Helen Mort has always been drawn to the thrill and risk of climbing: the tension between human and rockface, and the climber's powerful connection to the elemental world. But when she becomes a mother for the first time, she finds herself re-examining her relationship with both the natural world and herself, as well as the way the world views women who aren't afraid to take risks. A Line Above the Sky melds memoir and nature writing to ask why humans are drawn to danger, and how we can find freedom in pushing our limits. It is a visceral love letter to losing oneself in physicality, whether climbing a mountain or bringing a child into the world, and an unforgettable celebration of womanhood in all its forms.- Shop: buecher
