Alexander: Child of a Dream, Hörbuch, Digital, 205min

Alexander: Child of a Dream is the first in Valerio Massimo Manfredi's outstanding trilogy of brutal passion and grand adventure in Ancient Greece. Who could have been born to conquer the world other than a god? A boy born to a great king, Philip of Macedon, and his sensual queen, Olympias, Alexander became a young man of immense, unfathomable potential. Under the tutelage of the great Aristotle and with the friendship of Ptolemy and Hephaiston, he became the mightiest and most charismatic warrior, capable of subjugating the known world to his power. Here is a marvellous insight into one of history's greatest characters and his quest to conquer the civilised world. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Jacobi.

Alexander the Great: Journey to the End of the Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min

In this succinct portrait of Alexander the Great, distinguished scholar and historian Norman Cantor draws on the major writings of Alexander's contemporaries, as well as the most recent psychological and cultural studies, to illuminate this most legendary of men - a great figure in the ancient world, whose puzzling personality greatly fueled his military accomplishments. Cantor describes Alexander's ambiguous relationship with his father, Philip II of Macedon; his oedipal involvement with his mother, the Albanian princess Olympias; and his bisexuality. He traces Alexander's attempts to bridge the East and West, using Achilles, hero of the Trojan War, as his model. Finally, Cantor explores Alexander's view of himself in relation to the pagan gods of Greece and Egypt. More than a biography, Cantor's Alexander the Great is a psychological rendering of a man of his time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bronson Pinchot.

Das antike Olympia

Statt 29,90 EUR nur noch 14,90 EUR Wie verlief die Entwicklungsgeschichte Olympias? Welche staunenswerten Kunstwerke haben die Griechen dort errichtet? Welch ungeheuren Reichtum verwahrten die Priester in den Tempeln der Götter? Welche Sportarten wurden in Olympia gepflegt und wie gestaltete sich das Leben der Athleten, Geschäftsleute und Zuschauer in Olympia? Was machte Olympia für Politiker, Künstler und Gelehrte so attraktiv, daß sie bevorzugt diesen Ort als Bühne ihrer Auftritte wählten? Solche und viele weitere Fragen beantwortet Ulrich Sinn in seinem reich bebilderten Buch über das antike Olympia.Auch einer, der rein gar nichts über die Antike weiß, wüßte doch, was die Olympischen Spiele sind und daß sie ein Erbe der Alten Griechen darstellen. So wenig sich unsere kulturellen Verbindungen zu Griechenland auf dieses sportliche Großereignis reduzieren lassen, so wenig war Olympia in der Antike primär Austragungsort sportlicher Wettkämpfe. Ulrich Sinn rückt in seinem glänzend geschriebenen und reich bebilderten Band unsere doch einseitigen Vorstellungen über das antike Olympia zurecht und weist dem Sport einen angemessenen Platz als Bestandteil des Götterkultes und der vielfältigen anderweitigen Nutzungen des Heiligtums zu.

The Living Shore: Rediscovering a Lost World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min

In the 1990s, a marine scientist named Brian Kingzett was commissioned to survey Canada's western coast. He saw amazing sights, from the wildest, most breathtaking coasts to the smallest of marine creatures. Along the western side of Vancouver Island, Kingzett nosed into an isolated pocket beach where he found something unusual. Amid the mussels, barnacles, and clams were round oysters - Olympias. Kingzett noted their presence and paddled on. A decade later when he met Betsy Peabody, executive director of the Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF), he learned that this once ubiquitous native oyster was in steep decline, and he knew that together they would return to this remote spot. Rowan Jacobsen, along with Kingzett, Peabody, and a small group of scientists from PSRF and the Nature Conservancy, set out last July to see if the Olys were still surviving - and if they were, what they could learn from them. The goal: to use their pristine natural beds, which have probably been around for millennia, as blueprints for the habitat restoration efforts in Puget Sound. The implications are vast. If Peabody and her team can bring good health back to Puget Sound by restoring the intertidal zones - the areas of land exposed during low tide and submerged during high tide, where oysters live - their research could serve as a model for saving the world's oceans. During a time when the fate of the oceans seems uncertain, Rowan Jacobsen has found hope in the form of a small shelled creature living in the lost world where all life began. ungekürzt.
