What Is Liberalism?: Or Liberalism Is a Sin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
In 1886, there appeared in Spain a little work under the title El Liberalismo es Pecado, Liberalism Is a Sin, by Dom. Felix Sarda y Salvany, a priest of Barcelona. The book excited considerable commotion. It was vigorously assailed and was sent to Rome to be added to the banned book list. However, the Holy See received the book favorably, and the book remained in circulation.Below are some quotes from the book:"Liberalism is the root of heresy, the tree of evil in whose branches all the harpies of infidelity find ample shelter; it is today the evil of all evils." (Ch. 4)."The theatre, literature, public and private morals are all saturated with obscenity and impurity. The result is inevitable; a corrupt generation necessarily begets a revolutionary generation. Liberalism is the program of naturalism. Free-thought begets free morals or immorality. Restraint is thrown off and a free rein given to the passions. Whoever thinks what he pleases will do what he pleases. Liberalism in the intellectual order is license in the moral order. Disorder in the intellect begets disorder in the heart, and vice-versa. Thus does Liberalism propagate immorality, and immorality Liberalism." (Ch. 26).Liberalism "is, therefore, the radical and universal denial of all divine truth and Christian dogma, the primal type of all heresy, and the supreme rebellion against the authority of God and His Church. As with Lucifer, its maxim is, 'I will not serve.'" (Ch. 3). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ernestine Gabriel Zolina.

His father's death means Jason can finally join the Argonauts, an elite group of warriors who've overhauled their genetic code.

And now she's found herself fighting alongside them. And it's the story of an adventure turned suicide mission, all for the sake of a crown. The story of Jason and Medea is thousands of years old.

Hex-Ed: Womby's School for Wayward Witches, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
Consider what would happen if a bumbling character like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum had been told with the quirky voice of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and she was trying to get a job at Hogwarts.Clarissa Lawrence has been fired from multiple internships as a student teacher for reasons outside her control. Magical things keep happening to her...like the students turning into frogs. Her love life isn’t any more normal, considering how her boyfriends keep mysteriously suffering from heart attacks. Clarissa doesn’t know how to explain it all.Like most twenty-one-year-olds who grew up reading the Harry Potter series, Clarissa has always dreamed of escaping her mundane life by being invited to a magical school where good triumphs over evil, the administration is fair and kind, and schools don’t suffer from budget cuts. When Clarissa learns she is descended from a powerful sorceress, she would do anything to find the magical world where she knows she belongs.Only, the witches don’t want her because her mother pulled a Wicked Witch of the West move on everyone. To make matters worse, a gang of evil Fae wants to kidnap and enslave her. Clarissa must escape little old ladies in gingerbread cottages, the evil school district psychologist who has always been out to get her, and a hoard of harpies before she can prove to the Witchkin that the bad apple falls farther from the tree that they’d guessed.If she can do this, then maybe, just maybe her dreams will come true and she’ll land that job teaching the dark arts and crafts.Hex-Ed is the second novel in the series Womby’s School for Wayward Witches, but this audiobook can be listened to out of order. ungekürzt.

Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 802min
Predatory kraken that sing with - and for - their kin; band members and betrayed friends who happen to be demonic; harpies as likely to attract as to repel. Welcome to a world where humans live with monsters, from vampires both nostalgic and bumbling, to an eight-legged alien who makes tea. Here you'll find mercurial forms that burrow into warm fat, spectral boy toys, a Maori force of nature, a landform that claims lives, and an architect of hell on earth. Through these, and a few monsters that defy categorization, some of today's top young-adult authors explore ambition and sacrifice, loneliness and rage, love requited and avenged, and the boundless potential for connection, even across extreme borders. Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant have brought together 15 of the premier voices in speculative fiction to explore the intersection of fear and love - in a haunting, at times hilarious, darkly imaginative volume. With stories by: M. T.
