Jerusalem
Twenty years in the making, Alan Moore's Jerusalem is a magnum opus of the legendary comic book writer's career. Moore borrows from the realm of theoretical physics, taking the idea of time as the fourth dimension and using it as a platform for an epic literary work. Moore considers the stark ramifications of this idea on love, tragedy and morality in a work of historical fiction centred on his home town of Northampton, England. The book promises a kaleidoscope of literary forms and styles that range from brutal social realsim to extravagant children's fantasy and from the modern stage drama to the extremes of science fiction. Featuring a dizzyingly rich cast of characters including the living, the dead, the celestial and the infernal, personages as diverse as Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Beckett, Buffalo Bill and Jame Joyce's daughter rub shoulders with drunks, prostitutes, Biblical demons and local legends. Embracing meditations upon science, theology, history, literature, economics, class and metaphysics, this extraordinary narrative works towards a new assessment of the nature of space-time and the human position within it.- Shop: buecher

It started with an accidental click... but where will it end? Desperate to turn in a paper, Adam borrows his roommate's computer and mistakenly opens a folder that contains Josh's collection of porn.

And Adam, an inexperienced virgin who's only ever kissed one guy, is surprised to find himself curious about submitting... Josh can't believe that his roommate discovered his spank bank - and he can't believe that Adam is so turned on by the thought of giving up control to someone. Taking a chance, he offers to look through the photos with Adam... and maybe try acting some of them out. Night after night, the boys delve into their darkest fantasies of domination and submission. And as lust and experimentation grow into the promise of something deeper, Adam must decide if he's brave enough to tell Josh how he feels. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shannon Gunn.

Then, late one night, there is a knock upon his door.... "Casting the Runes" tells the story of a don who rejects an alchemist's manuscript - only to find that the man's knowledge of black magic goes beyond the purely theoretical.

Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance
A fascinating journey into Islam's diverse history of ideas, making an argument for an "Islamic Enlightenment" today In Reopening Muslim Minds, Mustafa Akyol, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and opinion writer for The New York Times, both diagnoses "the crisis of Islam" in the modern world, and offers a way forward. Diving deeply into Islamic theology, and also sharing lessons from his own life story, he reveals how Muslims lost the universalism that made them a great civilization in their earlier centuries. He especially demonstrates how values often associated with Western Enlightenment - freedom, reason, tolerance, and an appreciation of science - had Islamic counterparts, which sadly were cast aside in favor of more dogmatic views, often for political ends. Elucidating complex ideas with engaging prose and storytelling, Reopening Muslim Minds borrows lost visions from medieval Muslim thinkers such as Ibn Rushd (aka Averroes), to offer a new Muslim worldview on a range of sensitive issues: human rights, equality for women, freedom of religion, or freedom from religion. While frankly acknowledging the problems in the world of Islam today, Akyol offers a clear and hopeful vision for its future.- Shop: buecher

Aizai the Forgotten , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 590min
Seventeen-year old Wolfdon dreams of travelling to Aizai, a forgotten realm connected to our world by invisible sol-lines. He begins his search as a word-warrior in his hometown in France in the late 17th century, hunting for rare books that mention Aizai. One obscure book, by the philosopher Paulo de la Costa Santamiguero, has given him a lead to start his journey: to go to the northern coast of Spain where a portal to Aizai supposedly exists. With a noble horse he borrows from an astrologer and armed with a strange magical device, Wolfdon travels to a place that surpasses even his vivid imagination, with walking statues, animals with glowing gems of power, beautiful towers and misty valleys, and Aizians whose magic is innate to their souls. He meets many peculiar persons, from the cryptic Philosophers of the Eastern Empyrean to beautiful Aizians and dark magicians. Though death and danger loom ever near, nothing can dim the brightness of Aizai kindling within Wolfdon's heart. Yet as he strives to discover Aizai's secrets and fate, a frightening truth becomes clear, and may cost Wolfdon everything, including the future. ungekürzt. Language: English.
