The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to Faith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
Here, for the first time, in his new book The Rage Against God, Peter Hitchens, brother of prominent atheist Christopher Hitchens, chronicles his personal journey through disbelief into a committed Christian faith. With unflinching openness and intellectual honesty, Hitchens describes the personal loss and philosophical curiosity that led him to burn his Bible at prep school and embrace atheism in its place. From there, he traces his experience as a journalist in Soviet Moscow and the critical observations that left him with more questions than answers - and more despair than hope for how to live a meaningful life. With first-hand insight into the blurring of the line between politics and the church, Hitchens reveals the reasons why an honest assessment of atheism cannot sustain disbelief in God. In the process, he provides hope for all believers who, in the words of T. S. Eliot, may discover, "[T]he end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Hitchens.

The Cameron Delusion: Updated Edition of 'The Broken Compass' , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
The struggle between the main political parties has been reduced to an unpopularity contest, in which voters hold their noses and sigh as they trudge to the polls. Peter Hitchens explains how and why British politics has sunk to this dreary level - the takeover of the parties and the media by conventional left-wing dogmas which then call themselves 'the centre ground'. The Tory party under David Cameron has become a pale-blue twin of New Labour, offering change without alteration. Hitchens, a former Lobby reporter, examines and mocks the flock mentality of most Westminster journalists, explains how unattributable lunches guide coverage and why so many reporters - once slavish admirers of Labour - now follow the Tory line. This updated edition of Hitchens' The Broken Compass (2009) features a brand new introduction. In an excoriating analysis, Hitchens examines the Tory Party's record in government and opposition, dismissing it as a failure on all fronts but one - the ability to win office without principle. The one thing it certainly isn't is conservative. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Hitchens. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/018634/bk_adbl_018634_sample.mp3.

Arguably
A Sunday Times Bestseller Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was a matchless writer, debater and humanist. Throughout his life he shone the light of reason and truth into the eyes of charlatans and hucksters, exposing falsehood and decrying hypocrisy wherever he found it. With his passing, the world lost a great soul, the written word one of its finest advocates and those who stand for freedom everywhere have lost one of their clearest voices. Arguably collects Hitchens' writing on politics, literature and religion when he was at the zenith of his career; it is the indispensible companion to the finest English essayist since Orwell.- Shop: buecher

God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris' recent best-seller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty of the double helix. ungekürzt.

The Phoney Victory: The World War II Illusion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
Was World War II really the 'Good War'? In the years since the declaration of peace in 1945, many myths have sprung up around the conflict in the victorious nations. In this audiobook, Peter Hitchens deconstructs the many fables which have become associated with the narrative of the 'Good War'. Whilst not criticising or doubting the need for war against Nazi Germany at some stage, Hitchens does query whether September 1939 was the right moment or the independence of Poland the right issue. He points out that in the summer of 1939 Britain and France were wholly unprepared for a major European war and that this quickly became apparent in the conflict that ensued. He also rejects the retroactive claim that Britain went to war in 1939 to save the Jewish population of Europe. On the contrary, the beginning and intensification of war made it easier for Germany to begin the policy of mass murder in secret as well as closing most escape routes. In a provocative but deeply researched book, Hitchens questions the most common assumptions surrounding World War II, turning on its head the myth of Britain's role in a 'Good War'. ungekürzt.

Dumnezeu nu este mare. Cum otrave¿te religia totul (eBook, ePUB)
Cartea de fäa nu este o lectura facila. Dimpotriva, ¿ocheaza la fiecare pagina, încercând sa ne scoata din conformismul caldü în care ne-am instalat ¿i sa ne faca sa gândim. La fel ca Bertrand Russell în eseul De ce nu sunt cre¿tin (1927), Hitchens încearca sa demonstreze ca religia este o inven¿ie umana, un efect al fricii noastre de moarte ¿i de neant. Mai mult, ea s-a dovedit un adversar al ¿tiin¿ei ¿i al cercetarii, complice cu ignoran¿a, rasismul ¿i tirania. Autorul vâneaza contradic¿iile "car¿ilor sfinte", indiferent ca apar¿in cre¿tinismului, islamului sau iudaismului. Hitchens îmbina argumente ¿tiin¿ifice ¿i citate din marii filosofi cu descrierea unor evenimente sociale ¿i politice sau chiar cu anecdote savuroase. Inteligen¿a argumentäiei ¿i stilul plin de verva, chiar virulent pe alocuri, au transformat cartea într-unul dintre "textele canonice" ale ateismului contemporan. Christopher Hitchens (13 aprilie 1949¿15 decembrie 2011) a fost un scriitor, critic literar ¿i jurnalist anglo-american. Ateu declarat, a stârnit multe polemici prin articolele ¿i car¿ile sale, în care a criticat deseori personalitäi ca Maica Tereza, Dalai Lama, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Mel Gibson etc.- Shop: buecher
