    The Stuff of Stars: The Seekers, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 614min
    Against all odds, Orah and Nathaniel have found the keep and revealed the truth about the darkness, initiating what they hoped would be a new age of enlightenment. But the people were more set in their ways than anticipated, and a faction of vicars whispered in their ears, urging a return to traditional ways. Desperate to keep their movement alive, Orah and Nathaniel cross the ocean to seek the living descendants of the keepmasters' kin. Those they find on the distant shore are both more and less advanced than expected. The seekers become caught between the two sides, and face the challenge of bringing them together to make a better world. The prize: a chance to bring home miracles and a more promising future for their people. But if they fail this time, they risk not a stoning but losing themselves in the twilight of a never-ending dream. Be sure to start with the first book in this series, the multiple award-winning The Children of Darkness. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin deWard.

    Back in the Day (eBook, ePUB)
    * AN OBSERVER AND DAILY MAIL "BOOKS OF 2022" PICK *Melvyn Bragg's first ever memoir - an elegiac, intimate account of growing up in post-war Cumbria, which lyrically evokes a vanished world.In this captivating memoir, Melvyn Bragg recalls growing up in the Cumbrian market town of Wigton, from his early childhood during the war to the moment he had to decide between staying on or spreading his wings. This is the tale of a boy who lived in a pub and expected to leave school at fifteen yet won a scholarship to Oxford. Derailed by a severe breakdown when he was thirteen, he developed a passion for reading and study - though that didn't stop him playing in a skiffle band or falling in love. It is equally the tale of the people and place that formed him. Bragg indelibly portrays his parents and local characters from pub regulars to vicars, teachers and hardmen, and vividly captures the community-spirited northern town - steeped in the old ways but on the cusp of post-war change. A poignant elegy to a vanished era as well as the glories of the Lake District, it illuminates what made him the writer, broadcaster and champion of the arts he is today.

    The Children of Darkness: The Seekers, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
    But what are we without dreams? A thousand years ago the Darkness came - a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For 10 centuries they have kept the madness at bay with "temple magic," and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything. Childhood friends Orah and Nathaniel have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his "teaching" - the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light - they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then, when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her. In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people. Yet they would also incur the Temple's wrath as it is written: "If there comes among you a prophet saying, 'Let us return to the darkness,' you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light." ungekürzt.

    Melvyn Bragg's first ever memoir - an elegiac, intimate account of growing up in post-war Cumbria, which vividly evokes a vanished world.In this captivating memoir, Melvyn Bragg describes his life from childhood to adulthood in the Cumbrian market town of Wigton, from the early years alone with his mother while his father fought in the war to the moment he left for university. It is the tale of a working-class boy who grew up in a pub and expected to leave school at 16, then won two scholarships to Oxford; who happily roamed the streets and raided orchards with his friends yet had a breakdown when he was 13; and who was deeply embedded in a close-knit community but had to choose whether to leave it and the girl he loved behind. It is equally the tale of the place that shaped him; an elegy to a proud northern town steeped in the old ways but on the cusp of change, with the new NHS and council estates beginning to take effect. Bragg paints vivid portraits of his parents, relatives and the people he grew up with, from vicars to gypsies, teachers to rogues, and evokes such enduring rituals as the horse fair, hound-trailing and potato-picking week. The result is an engrossing, beautifully written memoir, which gives an unusual insight into one of the most renowned figures in the arts and poignantly recreates a vanished era.

    Sherlock Holmes Through the Microscope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 383min
    The life and career of Mr. Sherlock Holmes has inspired the interest of many of the brightest intellects in the world. They have expended great efforts to penetrate beyond the glimpses afforded us in the 60 published adventures - to detect the real underlying character of "the best and the wisest man" Dr. Watson has ever known (The Final Problem by A. C. Doyle). To the hundreds of past and present day Sherlockians, Holmesians, Doyeleans, we owe a great deal of gratitude for helping to shred the veil which has been created to obfuscate the real character of our remarkable hero: from the sainted Christopher Morley and Vincent Starrett, the renowned commentators Ronald A. Knox, William S. Baring-Gould, Edgar W. Smith, Sydney C. Roberts, Michael Harrison, Michael Hardwick, and many others too numerous to mention. Commentators have included bookmen, journalists and essayists, physicians, psychiatrists and pathologists, chemists, monsignors and vicars, barristers and solicitors, and automobile executives. All have brought their intelligence, unique perspectives, and, most of all, a very desperate need for knowledge to this quest, their labor of love. With great humility but stout heart, I feel highly motivated, even obligated, to attempt to add my voice to this ongoing effort. As a microbiologist, I hope to bring a different perspective to these studies. I am used to dealing with very minute objects that produce consequences much greater than their size would indicate. Is not this obsession with minutiae the perfect training and background for one who feels the need to participate in Sherlockian studies? I do hope that this makes me somewhat qualified to join in this important area of scholarly research. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J.T. McDaniel.

    Henry Miller on Writing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    A brilliant selection... [I]t is in short a voyage of discovery, an adventure and this the log of that voyage in the life of a probing and powerful writer.” (Robert R. Kirsch, Los Angeles Times) Some of the most rewarding pages in Henry Miller's books concern his self-education as a writer. He tells, as few great writers ever have, how he set his goals, how he discovered the excitement of using words, how the books he read influenced him, and how he learned to draw on his own experience.

Michael Oher is the young man at the center of the true story depicted in The Blind Side movie (and book) that swept up awards and accolades. Though the odds were heavily stacked against him, Michael had a burning desire deep within his soul to break out of the Memphis inner-city ghetto and into a world of opportunity. While many people are now familiar with Oher's amazing journey, this is the first time he has shared his account of his story in his own words, revealing his thoughts and feelings with details that only he knows, and offering his point of view on how anyone can achieve a better life. Looking back on how he went from being a homeless child in Memphis to playing in the NFL, Michael talks about the goals he had for himself in order to break out of the cycle of poverty, addiction, and hopelessness that trapped his family for so long. He recounts poignant stories of growing up in the projects and running from child services and foster care over and over again in search of some familiarity. Eventually, he grasped onto football as his ticket out of the madness and worked hard to make his dream into a reality. But Oher also knew he would not be successful alone. With his adoptive family, the Touhys, and other influential people in mind, he describes the absolute necessity of seeking out positive role models and good friends who share the same values to achieve one's dreams. Sharing untold stories of heartache, determination, courage, and love, I Beat the Odds is an incredibly rousing tale of one young man's quest to achieve the American dream. 9781101484517 N N ©2011 Michael Oher;(P)2011 Penguin Audio http://www.audible.de/pd/B079R2G889?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B079R2G889?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true Improbable Patriot: The Secret History of Monsieur de Beaumarchais, the French Playwright Who Saved the American Revolution (Unabridged) 17.95 AVAILABLE Improbable Patriot: The Secret History of Monsieur de Beaumarchais, the French Playwright Who Saved the American Revolution (Unabridged) Improbable Patriot (Unabridged) Harlow Giles Unger Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was an 18th-century French inventor, famed playwright, and upstart near-aristocrat in the court of King Louis XVI.

In 1776, he conceived an audacious plan to send aid to the American rebels. What's more, he convinced the king to bankroll the project, and singlehandedly carried it out. By war's end, he had supplied Washington's army with most of its weapons and powder, though he was never paid or acknowledged by the United States. To some, he was a dashing hero - a towering intellect who saved the American Revolution. To others, he was pure rogue - a double-dealing adventurer who stopped at nothing to advance his fame and fortune. In fact, he was both, and more: an advisor to kings, an arms dealer, and author of some of the most enduring works of the stage, including The Marriage of Figaro and The Barber of Seville. 9781977370426 N N ©2011 Harlow Giles Unger;(P)2018 Tantor http://www.audible.de/pd/B079Q8QGZN?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B079Q8QGZN?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true Analysis of Ed Yong's I Contain Multitudes with Key Takeaways (Unabridged) 4.95 AVAILABLE Analysis of Ed Yong's I Contain Multitudes with Key Takeaways (Unabridged) Analysis of Ed Yong's I Contain Multitudes with Key Takeaways (Unabridged) Sumoreads This Sumoreads analysis offers supplementary material to I Contain Multitudes to help you distill the key takeaways, review the book's content, and further understand the themes....   Michael London Anglado Sumoreads 2018-02-09 22:41:53 38 B079QB4YJ4 English - Science & Technology English 1.00 4.33 N http://img.audible.de/audiblewords/content/bk/acx0/108017de/lg_image.jpg http://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/108017/bk_acx0_108017_sample.mp3 Please note: This is a summary, analysis, and review of the book and not the original book.

Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries, his love for time ultimately causing him to become his own ancestor. Time Enough for Loveis his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical ideas on sexual freedom. His use of slang, technical jargon, sharp wit, and clever understatement lend this story a texture and authority that seems the very tone of things to come. 9781482959635 N N ©2014 Robert A.

    In The Arms Of My Enemy
    Endlich wieder erhältlich, inkl. einer von TVs schönsten Balladen namens "My Trojan Horse"! Die einfache Message hinter dem Song: Egal was in der Welt passiert - das Gute wird siegen! Passend zu den dominierenden Textinhalten von Freundschaft und menschlichen Werten, konnte TV einige seiner besten Freunde und Lieblingsmusiker für die Aufnahmen gewinnen. Am Schlagzeug findet sich einmal mehr Vom Ritchie (Die Toten Hosen, Spittin' Vicars, Cryssis, etc.). Der legendäre Tim Renwick, ein Freund von TV seit sie gemeinsam in den 80ern einige Demos aufgenommen haben, bedient die Gitarre. Besser bekannt dürfte der gute Mann durch seine Zusammenarbeit mit David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Al Stewart, Elton John, Eric Clapton und vielen anderen sein. Keyboarder und Co-Produzent in Personalunion ist der dritte Tim im Bunde: Tim Cross, TVs musikalischer Wegbegleiter seit seinem Einstieg bei den ADVERTS 1978. Nach Beendigung der Aufnahmen lag die Verantwortung für den Mix bei Jon Caffery, seit Jahren u.a. Stammproduzent der Toten Hosen, der auch schon bei "Useless" und "Misinformation Overload" an den Reglern saß.
