    The Fountainhead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1922min
    One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke, the genius who is resented because he creates purely for the delight of his own work and on no other terms; Gail Wynand, the newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire whose power was bought by sacrificing his ideals to the lowest common denominator of public taste; and Dominique Francon, the devastating beauty whose desperate search for meaning has been twisted, through despair, into a quest to destroy the single object of her desire: Howard Roarke. Dramatic, poetic, and demanding, The Fountainhead remains one of the towering books on the contemporary intellectual scene. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Hurt.

Found one evening in the bed of the rich and benevolent Mr Allworthy, baby Tom grows up in the guardianship of the kindly squire.

In pursuing the runaway Sophia to London, Tom embarks upon a series of riotous, and frequently amorous, adventures. However further trouble, and the revelation of his true identity, await him in London.Starring Anton Lesser as Tom, with Annette Crosbie, Hannah Gordon, Sarah Badel and Martin Jarvis.

    Always Room for Cupcakes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 239min
    One day I was bebopping along, jamming to the music in my head while wondering if my thighs could handle grabbing a cupcake on the way home. The next thing I knew, my entire world crashed and burned. I used to wake up at night in a sweat, crying because I'd dreamt that my husband was cheating on me or that he hated me and resented my kids. He'd always hold me close and tell me it was all just a dream, that he loved me and our family and that he'd never let me go. He was a f--king liar. Now I spend my days taking photos of scum just like him, trying to be a champion for others being taken advantage of by the losers in our town, and my nights being a single mom to my beautiful twins. I've got great friends who have my back and a sexy, mysterious motorcycle man who keeps showing up when I need him. Maybe things are starting to look up, and one thing's for sure.... There's always room for cupcakes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Garner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/056610/bk_acx0_056610_sample.mp3.

    Strange Brethren (eBook, ePUB)
    In the sixteenth century, German cities and territories welcomed thousands of refugees fleeing the religious persecution sparked by the Reformation. As Strange Brethren reveals, these Reformation refugees had a profound impact on the societies they entered. Exploring one major destination for refugees-the city of Frankfurt am Main-Maximilian Miguel Scholz finds that these forced migrants inspired new religious bonds, new religious animosities, and new religious institutions, playing a critical role in the course of the Reformation in Frankfurt and beyond. Strange Brethren traces the first half century of refugee life in Frankfurt, beginning in 1554 when the city granted twenty-four families of foreign Protestants housing, workspace, and their own church. Soon thousands more refugees arrived. While the city's ruling oligarchs were happy to support these foreigners, the city's clergy resented and feared the refugees. A religious fissure emerged, and Frankfurt's Protestants divided into two competing camps-Lutheran natives and Reformed (Calvinist) foreigners. Both groups began to rethink and reinforce their religious institutions. The religious and civic impact was substantial and enduring. As Strange Brethren shows, many of the hallmarks of modern Protestantism-its confessional divides and its disciplinary structures-resulted from the encounter between refugees and their hosts.Studies in Early Modern German History

    Meaning and Happiness: Overcoming STRESS, FEAR, and PAIN , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 125min
    The principle of this extraordinary book is to help you uncover and neutralize the programming of your past by conquering the negative emotions in the present. The present holds the key to the past and the future, and that to continue reacting to cruel authority in an infantile way keeps alive what was implanted in you as a child. Somewhere in your distant past, there was an original upset or trauma - perhaps many of them. Someone or something that you deeply resented changed the course of your whole life. Due to that experience, you could not grow to be your real self. This is the reason for all of your conflicts and unhappiness. Everything that has ever gone wrong in your life, or ever will, is caused by your being upset. Lost in your thoughts, the wills of half-forgotten people and events, operating through a pool of repressed feelings and desires act out their drama through your personality, as though they were your very own ambitions and dreams. This book guides you on the journey back from despair to truly living happily ever after. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roy Masters.
