She tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death of a man they both served with.

    A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599, Hörbuch, Digital, 388min
    What accounts for Shakespeare’s transformation from talented poet and playwright to one of the greatest writers who ever lived? In this gripping account, James Shapiro sets out to answer this question, "succeed[ing] where others have fallen short." (Boston Globe)1599 was an epochal year for Shakespeare and England. During that year, Shakespeare wrote four of his most famous plays: Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet; Elizabethans sent off an army to crush an Irish rebellion, weathered an Armada threat from Spain, gambled on a fledgling East India Company, and waited to see who would succeed their aging and childless queen.James Shapiro illuminates both Shakespeare’s staggering achievement and what Elizabethans experienced in the course of 1599, bringing together the news and the intrigue of the times with a wonderful evocation of how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman, and playwright. The result is an exceptionally immediate and gripping account of an inspiring moment in history. Language: English. Narrator: James Shapiro.

    Just a Classic Minute: Volume 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 118min
    Nicholas Parsons introduces four archive episodes of the ever-popular comedy panel game. Just as uproariously funny and terrifically popular today as when it first began on BBC Radio 4 in 1968, Just a Minute challenges contestants to speak for one minute on a given subject without repetition, hesitation, or deviation. Its mix of irreverent fun and ferocious competition has always attracted stellar names from the world of comedy and theatre, all of whom pit their wits (and their wit) against regular players including Kenneth Williams, Clement Freud, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones, and Paul Merton. Among the guests in these four archive programmes are Peter Cook, Barry Took, Victoria Wood, Wendy Richard, and Stephen Fry. Nicholas Parsons, who has been at the helm of the series since it began, as chairman and occasionally as player, introduces this sparkling quartet of editions and provides fascinating background information on the game, as well as memories of its players and its devisor, Ian Messiter.

    Stolen from Gypsies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
    A twisted tale indeed, featuring love lost, alluring demons, idiotic servants, beautiful ladies, magicians, spells, pirates, and duels, Stolen from Gypsies has been called a comedic tour de force comparable to Shakespeare. The unusual hero is British nobleman Ambrogio Smythe, a rich but comical hypochondriac. Obsessed by childhood memories of Gypsies, the frail but determined Ambrogio leaves his ancestral estate in Warwickshire and makes his way to Italy during the Napoleonic Wars. Finding himself happily marooned in Tuscany, Ambrogio meets a wandering storyteller who spins him a magical yarn about a Gypsy babe kidnapped by a demon. Ambrogio buys a shred of parchment as evidence and begins to write his own florid version of the saga, vowing one day to publish it in high style. With a sure hand, the author takes us back and forth from Ambrogio's Italian abode to "The Gypsy's Tale" in a rousing adventure full of action and insight. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Herkunft, Hörbuch, Digital, 161min
    Botho Strauß erzählt, wovon er noch nie erzählt hat: Von seiner Kindheit und Jugend, von den Orten und Landschaften, in denen er aufgewachsen ist, von seinen Erinnerungen an die prägenden, frühen Jahre, von seinem Vater. Botho Strauß erzählt die Geschichte seiner Herkunft. Botho Strauß wurde im Dezember 1944 in Naumburg geboren. Der Vater verließ in den 1950er Jahren Hab und Gut, ging in den Westen, nach Bad Ems, fing mit sechzig Jahren wieder von vorn an: "Wir sind weggegangen, weil wir nicht wollten, dass du dort zum Kommunisten erzogen wirst." Mit seinem neuen, überraschenden Buch findet Botho Strauß noch einmal zu einer ganz neuen Seite seines Schreibens, zu einem ganz anderen Rhythmus: Zum Ton des Erinnerns, der Vergewisserung über die eigenen Ursprünge. Die Jugend ist die Zeit, da die Zukunft einem noch bevorsteht; jetzt lässt Strauß eine lang zurückliegende Gegenwart wiedererstehen. Vor allem ist es der Vater, dessen Bild immer deutlicher hervortritt, liebevoll gezeichnet, doch ohne Selbsttäuschung. Botho Strauß' Herkunft ist das konzentrierte, reiche Werk eines großen Erzählers. deutsch. Burghart Klaußner. https://samples.audible.de/bk/hamb/001165/bk_hamb_001165_sample.mp3.
