    The History of Henry Esmond, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    The History of Henry Esmond tells the story of the early life of Henry Esmond, a colonel in the service of Queen Anne of England. A typical example of Victorian historical novels, Thackeray's work of historical fiction tells its tale against the backdrop of late 17th- and early 18th-century England — specifically, major events surrounding the English Restoration — and utilizes characters both real (but dramatized) and imagined. Language: English. Narrator: Edmond O'Brien. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/slnd/000261/bk_slnd_000261_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Esmond and Ilia (eBook, ePUB)
    By one of the finest English writers of our time, a luminous memoir that travels from southern Italy to the banks of the Nile, capturing a lost past both personal and historical. Marina Warner's father, Esmond, met her mother, Ilia, while serving as an officer in the British Army during the Second World War. As Allied forces fought their way north through Italy, Esmond found himself in the southern town of Bari, where Ilia had grown up, one of four girls of a widowed mother. The Englishman approaching middle age and the twenty-one-year-old Italian were soon married. Before the war had come to an end, Ilia was on her way alone to London to wait for her husband's return and to learn how to be Mrs. Esmond Warner, an Englishwoman. Ilia begins to learn the world of cricket, riding, canned food, and distant relations she has landed in, while Esmond, in spite of his connections, struggles to support his wife and young daughter. He comes up with the idea of opening a bookshop, a branch of W.H. Smith's, in Cairo, where he had spent happy times during the North African campaign. In Egypt, however, nationalists are challenging foreign influences, especially British ones, and before long Cairo is on fire. Deeply felt, closely observed, rich with strange lore, Esmond and Ilia is a picture of vanished worlds, a portrait of two people struggling to know each other and themselves, a daughter's story of trying to come to terms with a past that is both hers and unknowable to her. It is an "unreliable memoir"-what memoir isn't?-and a lasting work of literature, lyrical, sorrowful, shaped by love and wonder.

    Die letzte Fahrt der Bismarck (DVD)
    Eine der spektakulärsten Seeschlachten des 2. Weltkrieges steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Kriegsdramas. Im Frühjahr 1941 wird die "Bismarck", das größte Schlachtschiff der Nazis und Schrecken der Nordsee, vor der norwegischen Küste von der britischen Flotte versenkt. Ein englisches Aufklärungsflugzeug ortete den Koloss, der sofort von britischen Schlachtschiffen, darunter die "H. M. S. Hood", gejagt wurde. Am 27. Mai 1941 begann der gnadenlose Todeskampf, bei dem über 4.000 Seeleute den Tod fanden. Capt. Shepard (Kenneth More), der Admiral und Leiter der Flotte, der seine Frau bei einem Bombenangriff verlor, ist der unerbittliche Gegner, der die "Bismarck" in die Falle lockt. Exzellente Special Effects und seltene Original-Aufnahmen zeigen, was in dieser Nacht geschah...Darsteller:Carl Möhner, Dana Wynter, Kenneth More, Esmond Knight, Geoffrey Keen, Jack Watling, Karel Stepanek, Laurence Naismith, Maurice Denham, Michael Goodliffe, Michael Hordern
