Selections from Parerga and Paralipomena Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 956min

The two sizeable volumes of Parerga and Paralipomena hold a special place in the output of Arthur Schopenhauer. Parerga means 'supplementary to a main work', and Paralipomena suggests a further supplement, but these two books were anything but a casual addition to his major opus, The World as Will and Idea. For a start, it was the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851 which brought Schopenhauer to the attention of the general public, decades after The World as Will and Idea first appeared. Suddenly, people sat up and took notice, and Schopenhauer was established as a major figure in 19th-century German - and world - philosophy, a reputation he has never lost. This recording of the major part of volume 1 contains, arguably, the most important essays. From volume 1, Leighton Pugh reads 'Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real', 'Fragments for the History of Philosophy' and 'Transcendent Speculation on Apparent Design in the Fate of the Individual'. David Rintoul then takes over to read the most well-known section of volume 1, 'Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life' and 'Counsels and Maxims'. In general it could be said that the content of volume 1 of Parerga and Paralipomena presents ideas which are supplementary to the main thrust of Schopenhauer’s life work, whereas volume 2 sees him responding, more briefly but with customary clarity, to a great variety of topics. The translations in this recording of volume 1 are by Ernest Belfort Bax, David Irvine and T. Bailey Saunders. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leighton Pugh, David Rintoul.

The Perfect Instrument: A Michael Bekker Adventure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 956min

Broad-shouldered US military operative Michael Bekker was looking forward to his first field assignment with the CIA. But while hunting a source of terrorist funding in Baghdad, the new mission goes suddenly, horribly wrong. Blamed for an explosion that he barely escapes, Bekker’s life is shattered: He’s drummed out of the military, loses his dream girl, and is framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Now on the run, his only shot at freedom is to accept a covert op to stop a biological weapons lab in the country of his birth: war-torn Ukraine. Is Michael Bekker truly the “perfect instrument” to prevent bio-weapons from exploding the region’s civil crisis into a full-blown global conflict? Can he unravel the international conspiracy exploiting innocent victims of war in time to save himself or the ones he loves? The story is not just about action and adrenaline. It is about people - what they feel, how they react to certain situations. It is about relationships. It is about different cultures. It is about right and wrong. Readers and listeners who are looking for a pure action book could find it boring or extended. The story is about anyone - even about you, a normal person - who is out of luck in his or her life and feels that there's no control over the situation and how, if it is possible, to get it right and make sense of your own life. What do you need to make it happen? Is it your friend? Is it your faith? Is it your internal strength? Is it your desire? Is it luck? Is it all together? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality - her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.
