  Beyonce: A Feminine Leadership: The Texas Girl's Unstoppable Journey to Stardom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min

  An overview of Beyoncé’s life story and what we should learn from her. In this book, we’ll take a look at the life of one of music’s most famous faces and delve into the qualities that make her the role model she’s come to be. We’re going to walk the path of fame that Beyoncé has been paving for herself throughout the years and see how a combination of inherent talent and determination led her to hold the crown she proudly wears today as one of music’s top entertainers. A singer, an actress, a producer, a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter... Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, more commonly known as Beyoncé, is a name everyone has heard. When we read something about her, listen to her music or hear someone speak her name, we automatically think about all of the things she’s come to represent: success, wealth, glamour and much more. In fact, it’s often easy to focus solely on this present-day prosperity that we see and read about in the news. It’s important, however, to take a look back and see just how the woman we know today as Beyoncé actually came to be the triumphant entertainer we know and admire and why she is a role model for women everywhere. The perfect balance she strikes between a successful professional life and a grounded personal one is commendable. It wasn’t always easy for the music superstar, and there were obstacles here and there that Beyoncé—and those in her inner circle—had to overcome. However, one thing is undeniable: Beyoncé made every moment and every experience count, and kept her values present at all times. Beyoncé is a superwoman the likes of which are not frequently seen, and she’s an example for women in all aspects of her life. ungekürzt.

  Pulp According to David Goodis

  Pulp According to David Goodis starts with six characteristics of 1950s pulp noir that fascinated mass-market readers, making them wish they were the protagonist, and yet feel relief that they were not. His thrillers are set in motion by suppressed guilt, sexual frustrations, explosions of violence, and the inaccessible nature of intimacy. Extremely valuable is a gangster-infested urban setting. Uniquely, Goodis saw a still-vibrant community solidarity down there. Another contribution was sympathy for the gang boss, doomed by his very success. He dramatizes all this in the stark language of the Philadelphia's "streets of no return." The book delineates the noir profundity of the author's work in the context of Franz Kafka's narratives. Goodis' precise sense of place, and painful insights about the indomitability of fate, parallel Kafka's. Both writers mix realism, the disorienting, and the dreamlike; both dwell on obsession and entrapment; both describe the protagonist's degeneration. Tragically, belief in obligations, especially family ones, keep independence out of reach. Other elements covered in this critical analysis of Goodis's work include his Hollywood script-writing career; his use of Freud, Arthur Miller, Faulkner and Hemingway; his obsession with incest; and his "noble loser's" indomitable perseverance. Praise for PULP ACCORDING TO DAVID GOODIS: "This was a fascinating read. [Gertzman] appears as an expert not only on Goodis's body of work but on the pulp era of fiction in general, mid-twentieth-century American history, Philadelphia history, literary analysis, and a litany of other subjects. The book is stylishly written and well designed for reaching a broader, nonacademic audience interested in the pulp's history, role in American culture, and meaning. Frankly, the crime fiction community needs more books like this!" -Chris Rhatigan, editor, publisher, and writer of hard-boiled and noir literature "Jay Gertzman is one of those rare maverick critics with the courage to explore the dark alleys of American literature, and to report back with commendable honesty about what he has found. His book Pulp According to David Goodis is a perfect match of critic to author, and it belongs in the collections of universities hoping to be regarded as major." -Michael Perkins, author of Evil Companions, Dark Matter, and The Secret Record: Modern Erotic Literature "The most comprehensive Goodis study yet. Gertzman culls the files, brings everything together and then some. Not only essential reading for all Goodis obsessives but an excellent introduction to one of noir's greatest writers." -Woody Haut, author Pulp Culture: Hard-boiled Fiction and the Cold War, Heartbreak and Vine, and Neon Noir: Contemporary American Crime Fiction

  Haydn:London Symphonies

  "Could Haydn surpass his own achievement? The twelve London Symphonies for Salomon are the proof of his genius, showing Haydn at the height of his brilliance. It is not so much that these works offer anything new, rather, they are commendable on account of their maturity, balance and perfection." (Jens Markowsky)
