    Der karierte Ninja ist zurück! Diesmal verschlägt es die rotzfreche Stoffpuppe zusammen mit ihrem menschlichen Kumpel Alex nach Thailand, wo der Fiesling 'Eppermint' aus dem Knast entkommen ist. Um ihn erneut aufzuspüren und ihm ein für alle Mal das Handwerk zu legen, müssen sie wieder jede Menge rasante Verfolgungsjagden, brenzlige Situationen und wilde Abenteuer überstehen. Mit von der Partie ist auch diesmal Alex' merkwürdige Patchworkfamilie: sein nerviger Stiefbruder, sein dämlicher Stiefvater, seine verstrahlte Mutter und sein versoffener Onkel stolpern von einem Fettnäpfchen ins nächste und bescheren dem Teenager wieder reichlich unangenehme Fremdschämmomente. Was gibt es Schöneres als einen entspannten Familienurlaub? Der turbulente Animations-Spaß geht in die nächste Runde: Auch der zweite Teil der erfolgreichsten dänischen Filmreihe aller Zeiten, die mit 'Der karierte Ninja' (2018) begann und hier mit 'Der karierte Ninja 2' (2021) seine Fortsetzung erlebt, liefert wieder unverschämt freche Sprüche und herrlich respektlosen Humor der skandinavischen Sorte, erneut vom Regie-Duo Thorbjørn Christoffersen und Anders Matthesen, den Machern von 'Terkel in Trouble' (2004). Wahnwitzige Unterhaltung für Jung und Alt, die bei aller Ruppigkeit das Herz am richtigen Fleck hat.

    At nearly 95, Studs Terkel has written about everyone's life, it seems, but his own. In Touch and Go, he offers a memoir that, embodying the spirit of the man himself, is youthful, vivacious, and enormous fun. Terkel begins by taking us back to his early childhood with his father, mother, and two older brothers, describing the hectic life of a family trying to earn a living in Chicago. He then goes on to recall his own experiences as a poll watcher charged with stealing votes for the Democratic machine, as a young theatergoer, and eventually as an actor himself in both radio and on the stage - giving us a brilliant and often hilarious portrait of the Chicago of the 1920s and 1930s. He tells of his beginnings as a disc jockey after World War II and as an interviewer and oral historian, a craft he would come to perfect and indeed personify. Finally, he discusses his involvement with progressive politics, leading inevitably to his travails during the McCarthy period, when he was blacklisted and thrown out of work, despite having become by then one of the country's most popular television hosts. Fans of Studs Terkel will find much to discover in these remarkable reminiscences. Others will be captivated to learn of the unique and eclectic life of one of America's greatest living legends. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Norman Dietz.

    Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, and the American Book Award, the best-selling Common Ground is much more than the story of the busing crisis in Boston as told through the experiences of three families. As Studs Terkel remarked, it's "gripping, indelible...a truth about all large American cities." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Michael Summerer.

    Like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, this is a fascinating voyage into a strange and wonderful land, a provocative meditation on communication, biology, adaptation, and culture. In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect - a minority with its own rich, sometimes astonishing, culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication that tells us much about the basis of language in hearing people as well. Seeing Voices is, as Studs Terkel has written, "an exquisite, as well as revelatory, work". PLEASE NOTE: Some changes have been made to the original manuscript with the permission of Oliver Sacks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Davis, Oliver Sacks - introduction.

    For this book, author Diane Conway approached a police officer, a waitress, a politician, a lawyer, a cab driver, and many others, and asked them each the same question: "What would you do if you had no fear?" The results, chronicled in this book, were both surprising and enlightening. Her respondents told her their secrets, their long-hidden dreams, and their fears. Their dreams included quitting mind-numbing jobs, applying to medical school, buying tickets to South America, finding true love, quitting drinking, or having an affair. The distance between dreaming and doing, according to Conway, is surprisingly short. In What Would You Do If You Had No Fear? her fresh voice and "Studs Terkel in drag persona" challenge readers to stop, open their hearts, and truly live. Included are self-tests, quizzes, growth exercises, and inspiring quotes for realizing one's fear-free potential. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pam Ward.

    What if Studs Terkel wrote a book with Bill James? You'd have a book on what it's really like to make a living in the world of baseball. For everyone who ever dreamed of making their love of baseball into their vocation, Working at the Ballpark will provide a view at their lives that might have been, with interviews with more than 50 people who make a living in major league baseball. Each is asked the same questions: What is your job? How did you get into this line of work? What does this job mean to you? From peanut vendors and equipment managers to general managers and star players, from John Guilfoy, who sells sausages at Fenway, to Chris Hanson, who plays "Bernie Brewer" in Milwaukee, to Omar Vizquel, who anchors the infield at AT&T Park, this is an insider's perspective on the enormous scope of the game. ungekürzt.

    Known variously as "the Windy City" "the City of Big Shoulders," or "Chi-Raq", Chicago is one of the most widely celebrated, routinely demonized, and thoroughly contested cities in the world. Chicago is the city of Gwendolyn Brooks and Chief Keef, Al Capone and Richard Wright, Lucy Parsons and Nelson Algren, Harold Washington and Studs Terkel. It is the city of Fred Hampton, House Music, and the Haymarket Martyrs. Writing in the tradition of Howard Zinn, Kevin Coval’s A People’s History of Chicago celebrates the history of this great American city from the perspective of those on the margins, whose stories often go untold. These 77 poems (for the city’s 77 neighborhoods) honor the everyday lives and enduring resistance of the city’s workers, poor people, and people of color, whose cultural and political revolutions continue to shape the social landscape. Kevin Coval is the poet/author/editor of seven books, including The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop and the play, This Is Modern Art, co-written with Idris Goodwin. Founder of Louder Than a Bomb: The Chicago Youth Poetry Festival and the Artistic Director of Young Chicago Authors, Coval teaches hip-hop aesthetics at the University of Illinois - Chicago. The Chicago Tribune has named him "the voice of the new Chicago" and the Boston Globe calls him "the city’s unofficial poet laureate." ungekürzt. Language: English.
