  I Drink Therefore I Am: A Philosopher's Guide to Wine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min

  We are familiar with the medical opinion that a daily glass of wine is good for the health and also the rival opinion that any more than a glass or two will set us on the road to ruin. Whether or not good for the body, Scruton argues, wine, drunk in the right frame of mind, is definitely good for the soul. And there is no better accompaniment to wine than philosophy. By thinking with wine, you can learn not only to drink in thoughts but to think in draughts. This good-humoured book offers an antidote to the pretentious clap-trap that is written about wine today and a profound apology for the drink on which civilisation has been founded. In vino veritas. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ralph Lister. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/016992/bk_adbl_016992_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Last Mermaid (eBook, ePUB)

  I am the last mermaid. That sounds pretentious, I know, but when you're the last of your kind, no one lets you live the title down… Raised by sea goblins in the cold waters of the arctic, I was content enough as the only mermaid in the village-as the only mermaid in the seas. But after a freak accident, I'm sent away to survive the freezing waters on my own. It's in the unforgiving waters I travel, and it is then that I realize that my entire existance is a lie, because I discover him. A lone merman convinced that there is a long lost kingdom with others like us who hide from a rising threat. To find it, he'll need me, but can I really face the mystery of my entire existance and life? Will this make-believe kingdom really give me the answers I've always longed for? Or will we die chasing a dream?
