    Progressive Entrapment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 703min
    It begins as innocent fun. Tempting, enchanting...even, at times, sweet. It doesn’t take long, however, before things change. You feel yourself being lured. A haunting - or haunted - voice whispers your name in the darkest of hours. Seduces you. Entices you. Beckons you. You’re addicted...and there’s no turning back.In this collection of 20 stories, Brandon Ford takes the listener on an extended journey, one that begins in a sun-kissed meadow and ends in a shadowed wood, where razor-clawed creatures prey. In “The Dinner Party”, a young wife receives some unusual advice from a talk radio host after she discovers her husband’s infidelity. A budding artist and consummate failure realizes there’s only one way to overcome an undying envy of his overachieving brother (”Painted in Red”). In “Popcorn Video”, a high school senior receives a series of mysterious phone calls while working alone in a mom-and-pop video rental shop. As the world comes to a violent end, a young couple and their small child take cover in an abandoned basement bar, realizing only too late that they’ve made a grave error (”Refuge”). Progressive Entrapment is a tantalizing and titillating tome that will leave you breathless with emotion, from sadness to glee to jaw-tensing terror. It is a book that won’t allow you to stop listening. Consider yourself warned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Butler.

    Everest - Himmel, Hölle, Himalaja (MP3-Download)
    2002 war das Jahr der Berge. Die Erstbesteigung des Nanga Parbat (8125 Meter) - des so genannten Schicksalbergs der Deutschen - durch Hermann Buhl jährt sich im Juli 2003 zum fünfzigsten Mal. Vor diesem Hintergrund muss man kein begeisterter Bergsteiger sein, um dem Vortrag von Reinhold Messner gespannt zu folgen. Reinhold Messner spricht in diesem Vortrag nicht nur über seine Himalaja-Erfahrungen - 1970 verlor er beim ersten Versuch, den Nanga Parbat zu besteigen, seinen jüngeren Bruder Günther durch eine Lawine, er selbst verlor sechs Zehen - sondern zeichnet die Geschichte der Himalaja-Expeditionen vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute lebendig und anschaulich nach: 1924 stieg George Lee Mallory auf den Mount Everest - es war bereits die dritte britische Expedition - um erst 1999 wiedergefunden zu werden. 1953 dann gelang dem Neuseeländer Edmund Hillary zusammen mit dem Sherpa Tensing Norgay die Gipfelbesteigung. Messner selbst bestieg 1978 ohne Verwendung von künstlichem Sauerstoff zusammen mit Peter Habeler den 8848 Meter hohen Mount Everest. Ganz alleine bezwang er zwei Jahre später den Everest. Doch Reinhold Messner spricht nicht nur im Stil eines Chronisten über die Besteigung des höchsten Berges der Welt. Er lüftet z.B. das Geheimnis um den Yeti, der sich als Schnee- oder Eisbär in der Fantasie der Menschen zu einem Ungeheuer entwickelt hatte. Zum Stichwort "Euphorie am Gipfel" äußert sich der erfahrene Alpinist ganz eindeutig: Es gibt keine Euphorie in dieser menschenfeindlichen Welt. Wer davon spricht, plappere nur Klischees nach! Neben seinen persönlichen Erlebnissen flicht Messner häufig philosophische Überlegungen in seine Ausführungen ein: So legt er großen Wert auf den Respekt, den wir Menschen gegenüber den Göttern oder der Natur zeigen sollten.

    The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession, and Death on Mount Everest
    Veteran climber Mark Synnott never planned on climbing Mount Everest, but a 100-year mystery lured him into an expedition-and an awesome history of passionate adventure, chilling tragedy, and human aspiration unfolded. On June 8, 1924, George Mallory and "Sandy" Irvine set out to stand on the roof of the world, where no one had stood before. They were last seen 800 feet shy of Everest's summit. A century later, we still don't know whether they achieved their goal, decades before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay did in 1953. Irvine carried a Kodak camera with him to record their attempt, but it, along with his body, had never been found. Did Mallory and Irvine reach the summit and take a photograph before they fell to their deaths? Mark Synnott made his own ascent up the infamous North Face along with a filmmaker using drone technology higher than any had previously flown. His goal: to find Irvine's body, and the camera he carried that might have held a summit photo on its still-viable film. Synnott's quest led him from oxygen-deprivation training to archives and museums in England, to Kathmandu, the Tibetan High Plateau and up the North Face into a storm during a season described as the one that broke Everest. An awful traffic jam of climbers at the very summit resulted in tragic deaths. Sherpas revolted. Chinese government agents turned adversarial. An Indian woman crawled her way to safety and survival. Synnott himself went off the safety rope-if he slipped no one would have been able to save him-desperate to solve the mystery. A magnificent story a la The Lost City of Z, THE THIRD POLE conveys the miracle of a mountain the world wants to own, and the first explorers who may have done so.
