Of Blood Descended (eBook, ePUB)
'Beautifully written ... a unique tale told in a unique voice' - S.G. Maclean Summer, 1522. In a wave of pomp, Henry VIII's court welcomes the Imperial emperor, Charles V. Anthony Blanke, the son of the king's late 'black trumpet', John Blanke, is called to Hampton Court by his former employer, Cardinal Wolsey. The cardinal is preparing a gift for King Henry: a masque of King Arthur and the Black Knight. Anthony is to take centre stage. The festive mood, however, quickly sours. Wolsey's historian, charged with proving the king's descent from King Arthur, is found murdered, his body posed in a gruesome tableau. A reluctant Anthony is charged with investigating the affair. His mission takes him on the path trod by the historian, through ancient monastic libraries and the back streets of London. On a journey that takes him from Hampton Court to Windsor and Winchester, and which sees him lock horns with secretive monks, historian Polydore Vergil, and a new face at court, Anne Boleyn, he must discover the murderer, secure the great masque, and avoid King Henry's wrath.- Shop: buecher

A Chorus of Innocents: The Sir Robert Carey Mysteries, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 588min
Thursday, October 12, 1592. Eighteen days after the action closes in An Air of Treason, courtier Sir Robert Carey and Carey's surly, larcenous, and loyal henchman, Henry Dodd, land sergeant of Gilsland, are back in Carlisle and the Debateable Lands - the Border country, the wild North, the land of the hot trod, where the thieving, feuding reiver clans are "English when it suited and Scots at their pleasure". A Chorus of Innocents ushers forward Lady Elizabeth Widdrington, a married woman whom Carey adores but respects. It opens when a very pregnant young woman rides to Lady Widdrington's tower, crying that her minister husband has been murdered and she herself has been raped. Listeners will meet canny King James VI; his amoral favorite Lord, Spynie; the fey Lady Hume; Mr. Anricks, a surprisingly skilled tooth drawer; Young Henry Widdrington, with his unfortunate spots; and all the boys in murdered Minister Burn's choir. The action proceeds full tilt and finishes with a bang. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Perkins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/007818/bk_blak_007818_sample.mp3.

Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 730min
While many accounts of the Buddha’s life mix legend and history, this compelling new biography discriminates between fact and fiction to reveal Gautama, the remarkable human being behind the myth, and sheds new light on his teachings. Plunging us into the noises, smells and jostling streets of Gautama’s world, Vishvapani Blomfield brings the Buddha to life as a passionate and determined individual - a strikingly modern figure who rejected contemporary beliefs and found his own answers by mastering his mind. Even after he gained enlightenment and became the Buddha (the "Awakened One"), Gautama experienced struggles as well as triumphs as he trod India’s dusty paths. Vishvapani shows how he sought to establish a community of practitioners amid his society’s divided culture and perilous politics and how the ideas that became the Buddhist teachings grew from Gautama’s efforts to address the needs and beliefs of his listeners. Drawing on years of meticulous research into original sources, Gautama Buddha takes us to within touching distance of one of history’s greatest figures. ungekürzt. Language: English.

900 Miles for a Cornetto: A Road Trip from Winchester to Venice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min
A famous ice cream seemed a good enough reason for a road trip, but who wants to get it from the corner shop freezer when you can drive 900 miles across seven countries for it? In this intriguing European travelogue, the writer, guitar teacher, and Volkswagen fan Andy Read takes his ageing LT 35 camper-van on a journey of discovery - that border control guards really are scary, sleep-overs in French motorway aires are not normally life threatening, and people other than cleaners have jobs in truck stops. Along the way, his long-suffering family read the map, search for WiFi, and keep wanting to stop for brioche and Prince chocolate biscuits. There are culinary conversion experiences after eating authentic Italian pizza and drinking silky Valpolicella wine with the family who planted the vines, and trod on the grapes. Join the ride, and let the open roads, the lack of deadlines, the Mediterranean food, the clean air, and the warm sunshine all help to soothe your mind and refresh your soul. ungekürzt.

Puccini: La Bohème, Hörbuch, Digital, 60min
La Bohème is one of the three operas - the others are Carmen and Aida - believed to be the most popular ever written. In the case of La Bohème the reason is that it virtually defines the term "romantic". The poignant story of Mimì and Rodolfo is told in music of such tender beauty, allied, as always, to Puccini’s intuition of what works in the theatre. The result is an opera that readily appeals to our emotions and senses. "Che gelida manina - Your tiny hand is frozen..." The moment when Mimì and Rodolfo meet and first touch is one of the very great moments of opera - created by the master hand of Giacomo Puccini, who unerringly trod the fine line between romance and sentimentality. Thomson Smillie outlines the background to the opera, explaining how painstakingly the composer worked to achieve this effect. An absorbing introduction both for those approaching La Bohème for the first time and for those wanting to know a bit more than just the big arias. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: David Timson.
