    Hero , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min
    A standalone contemporary romance in the Morgan Brothers series from USA Today best-selling author Lauren Rowe. The story of firefighter Colby Morgan that proves heroes come in many forms.... The first time I laid eyes on Lydia Decker, I couldn’t speak. Or breathe. Or string two coherent thoughts together. And I don’t mean any of that figuratively. I’m not talking about a guy being floored by the sight of a gorgeous woman - although, of course, Lydia is gorgeous beyond words. No, when I first laid eyes on Lydia Decker - my physical therapist - I was lying flat on my back in the ICU, high as a kite on painkillers, breathing on a ventilator, my bones as broken and splintered as my spirit. When I first laid eyes on Lydia Decker, she was a ray of light in the dark. Hope for the hopeless. A salve for my singed and battered soul. She said she’d been assigned to fix me. That she was there to bring me back to life. She said helping me was her calling. And then she touched me. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. She healed me. And I fell in love. But what I didn’t know...what I couldn’t possibly know...was that Lydia Decker needed fixing far more than I ever did. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lauren Rowe, John Lane.

    Beowulf, Hörbuch, Digital, 73min
    The epic story of this hero’s battle against dragons, monsters, and their mothers is particularly suited to being recorded as an audiobook given that for the first 300 years of its existence it was only ever spoken. The first known (and indeed the only surviving manuscript) of the poem was written in AD 1,000. It survived Henry VIII’s attempts to destroy it (as a religious artifact) and a catastrophic fire that destroyed many other historical British documents - the marks of the fire are still visible on the manuscript, now safely housed in the British Museum. But the poem and indeed its mythical original tale date back to the eighth or ninth century and before that to the mythologies of Scandaniavia. It is because this poem is in itself an adaptation of ancient sagas that we have allowed ourselves the only abridgement or adaptation on the website! Julian Glover’s version takes the poem back to its origins as a spoken tale. He has taken the essence of the poem and, with a scholarly eye to the British Museum’s manuscript, created a truly bardic performance. Beowulf’s battles against Grendel (the monster who takes you in your sleep) and the original lethal female, his mother, who comes to avenge her son’s killing, are faithfully transformed from their singed original to a roaring reality.

    Holy Digital Grail (eBook, ePUB)
    Medieval books that survive today have been through a lot: singed by fire, mottled by mold, eaten by insects, annotated by readers, cut into fragments, or damaged through well-intentioned preservation efforts. In this book, Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript-an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twelfth-century England now diffused across the twenty-first century internet. This trajectory has been propelled by a succession of technologies-from paper manufacture to printing to computers. Together, they have made literary history itself a cultural technology indebted to colonial capitalism. Bringing to bear media theory, medieval literary studies, and book history, Warren shows how digital infrastructures change texts and books, even very old ones. In the process, she uncovers a practice of "tech medievalism" that weaves through the history of computing since the mid-twentieth century; metaphors indebted to King Arthur and the Holy Grail are integral to some of the technologies that now sustain medieval books on the internet. This infrastructural approach to book history illuminates how the meaning of literature is made by many people besides canonical authors: translators, scribes, patrons, readers, collectors, librarians, cataloguers, editors, photographers, software programmers, and many more. Situated at the intersections of the digital humanities, library sciences, literary history, and book history, Holy Digital Grail offers new ways to conceptualize authorship, canon formation, and the definition of a "book."

But will he radio "Mayday! Mayday!" in time? Can humongous Hana the Hercules put the fire out before his friends are singed like sausages on a barbie? Join Myro as he ducks and dives through smoke and flames to save the day! Detail Myro, the Smallest Plane in the World, is settling in to his new home in Australia, but it's a day hotter than anything he's known before. His pilot and the farmer are fishing at the cool billabong when Myro hears the frantic stampede of animals from the bush... a fire is raging, and it's coming closer! Two ultralight aeroplanes are trapped in their hangar and Myro can't get any response to his MAYDAY call. His only choice is to fly without his pilot until he gets a signal.

    A Secret Affair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min
    “The Devil was about to be tamed.” Her name is Hannah Reid. Born a commoner, she has been Duchess of Dunbarton ever since she was 19 years old, the wife of an elderly duke to whom she has been rumored to be consistently and flagrantly unfaithful. Now the old duke is dead and, more womanly and beautiful than ever at 30, Hannah has her freedom at last. And she knows just what she wants to do with it. To the shock of a conventional friend, she announces her intention to take a lover - and not just any lover, but the most dangerous and delicious man in all of upper-class England: Constantine Huxtable. Constantine’s illegitimacy has denied him the title of Earl, so now he denies himself nothing... or so the ton would have it. Rumored to be living the free and easy life of a sensualist in his country estate, he always chooses recent widows for his short-lived affairs. Hannah will fit the bill nicely. But once these two passionate and scandalous figures find each other, they discover that it isn’t so easy to extricate oneself from the fires of desire - without getting singed. For the duchess and the dark lord each have startling secrets to reveal, and when all is said and done, neither will be able to say which one fell in love first, who tamed whom, and who has emerged from this game of hearts with the stronger hand. ungekürzt.

    Falling for Mister Wrong: Reality Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
    2016 RITA® Award Finalist - Best Mid-Length Contemporary Romance Between "I will" and "I do", there's room to fall. Caitlyn Gregg just agreed to marry "Mister Perfect" on national television. There's only one problem: as soon as the cameras stop rolling on their whirlwind reality-show romance, she realizes she doesn't love him. Returning home to Colorado as the show begins to air, she has only her doubts for company - until she accidentally sets her apartment on fire and finds herself in the arms of oh-so-sexy fire-fighter Will Hamilton. Sparks fly - and not just from her singed apartment - but Caitlyn is engaged to another man and is contractually forbidden from talking about the engagement, breaking it off, or seeing other men until the show's finale. Will doesn't know what to make of Caitlyn's hot-and-cold routine, until he turns on the TV one night and sees her being wooed by another man. Thinking she must be gunshy after what is about to be a very public break-up, he tells her they can take it slow...but their insane chemistry has other ideas. Falling hard for Will is against all the rules and every week she dreads Tuesday, knowing any episode could be the one that drives him away. When the truth comes out, will Caitlyn lose the man of her dreams because she already said yes to Mister Perfect? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ava Erickson.

    Rough Beauty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    In the best-selling tradition of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild and Helen MacDonald’s H Is for Hawk, a stunning, inspirational memoir from an award-winning poet who ventures into the wilderness to seek answers to life’s big questions and finds her way back after losing everything she thought she needed. During a difficult time, Karen Auvinen flees to a primitive cabin in the Rockies to live in solitude as a writer and to embrace all the beauty and brutality nature has to offer. When a fire incinerates every word she has ever written and all of her possessions - except for her beloved dog Elvis, her truck, and a few singed artifacts - Karen embarks on a heroic journey to reconcile her desire to be alone with her need for community. In the evocative spirit of works by Annie Dillard, Gretel Ehrlich, and Mary Oliver, Karen’s rich and compulsively listenable memoir is as much an inward as it is an outward pilgrimage. Her pursuit of solace and salvation by shedding trivial ties and living in close harmony with nature, along with her account of finding community and love, is sure to resonate with all of us who long for meaning and deeper connection. Rough Beauty is a luminous, lyric exploration of and homage to her 40 seasons in the mountains, embracing the unpredictability and grace of living intimately with the forces of nature while making peace with her own wildness. ungekürzt.

    2018 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2. GRAND CRU CLASSÉ PAUILLAC A.C.
    Femme fatale, femme phénoménale,… die Comtesse ist ein Wein der Superlative, der den edlen Genießer verführt und mit einem Höchstmaß an Frucht, Charakter und Länge um den Finger wickelt. Der Nachhall ist phänomenal und schwingt unendlich nach! Decanter: 99/100 Punkte »This has to be up there with one of the most seductive Comtesses on record with layers of alternating softness and concentration combined with a lot of 2016’s elegance and power. The nose on this stands out a mile, getting it right up on the podium before you even take a sip. Rich raspberries combine with peonies and curls of woodsmoke while the appellation’s signature slate, cedar, liquorice and tannic grip slowly builds up on the palate. I’ve tasted this several times with each conveying a juiciness and elegance that is quite different in style to many in Pauillac this year - it's a 98-100 for me, and I'm already looking forward to re-tasting it in bottle. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 60% new oak used. 13% press wine. 3.75pH, 88IPT – higher even than the 80IPT in 2016. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040«  Wine Spectator: 97-100/100 Punkte  »This one nails it in 2018, with saturated, almost sappy kirsch, plum and blackberry preserve flavors at the core, inlaid with sweet tobacco, singed vanilla, worn cedar and fresh earth notes. A bolt of graphite provides support. Concentrated, long and very complete. One of the high water marks of the vintage.« James Suckling: 98-99/100 Punkte »A deep and intense young red with blackberries and blueberries, as well as green olives and hints of fresh tobacco. But really black fruit. Full-bodied, tight and integrated with a refreshing and harmonious finish. Just floating on the palate. Great tannin backbone to this. A classic. Another flying carpet.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99/100 Punkte »The grand vin represents 50% of the crop this year. The 2018 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is made up of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with a pH of 3.85, an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 87 and 14% alcohol. Very deep purple-black colored, it is like hitting a brick wall to begin, needing considerable coaxing to start to reveal notes of crushed black cherries, warm blackberries, ripe blackcurrants and chocolate cake with nuances of violets, rose hip tea, charcuterie, tapenade and incense with wafts of new leather and iron ore. Full-bodied, concentrated and completely laden with tightly wound black fruit and savory layers, the palate gives a rock-solid backbone of firm, super ripe, super fine-grained tannins and soft background freshness, finishing very long with a veritable display of mineral fireworks.« Wine Enthusiast: 96-98/100 Punkte  »Barrel Sample. Ripe and stylish, it is elegance personified and will be a very fine wine to age. Its structure and tannins are generous yet gently handled, giving density while preserving the bright dark fruit flavors.« Falstaff: 96/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart floral unterlegte schwarze Kirschfrucht, feines Cassis, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Saftig, komplex, extraktsüß, elegant, reife, tragende Tannine, feiner Nougat im Abgang, bleibt sehr gut haften, sicheres Reifepotenzial.«  Weinwisser: 19,5/20 »71 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 23 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 35 hl/ha, 60 % Grand Vin. Undurchsichtiges Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und violettem Rand. Ein zartes Parfüm nach Wildkirschen und Veilchen sowie Nougatpralinen. Im zweiten Ansatz Lakritze, Cassis und Heidelbeeren. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, perfekt ausgereiften Tanninen und süssem Extrakt, unglaubliche Eleganz aufweisend, dann packt dieses Finessenpaket zu. Im katapultartigen, langanhaltenden Finale mit blauen Beeren, stützender Mineralik, Graphit, endet mit edlen Bitternoten, die dem Wein eine gewisse Arroganz verleihen. Ein grandioser Pauillac, der auch in diesem Jahr zum Besten in der Appellation gehört! Für Nicolas Glumineau ist der 2018er eine Kombination aus 1989, 2010 und 2016. Wird in der perfekten Genussreife die Maximalnote erreichen. Trinken 2028 bis 2056«  Vinum: 18/20 Punkte »Hat es verstanden, trotz der wuchtigen Art des Jahres seine Harmonie zu halten, herrlich sanftes und doch mundfüllendes Tannin, grosse Frische und Geschmeidigkeit trotz der Tiefe, fleischiger Ausklang; einmal mehr hervorragend. 2030 bis 2050«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    The United States Capitol Building: The History and Legacy of the Seat of Congress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    For over two centuries, the capital of America has been located in Washington, D.C., and among all the iconic landmarks and monuments associated with the city, nothing is as conspicuous as the Capitol, the magnificent building that houses Congress and sits on Capitol Hill at the epicenter of the city. At the same time, even though the Capitol is now one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, the image everyone is familiar with took decades to achieve, and its grand scope belies its rather chaotic history. In fact, the Capitol was partially burned by the British during the War of 1812, and its now famous dome was still under construction while the nation fought itself during the Civil War. Moreover, it's easy to forget that the expansion of the country resulted in the addition of new Congressmen, requiring the expansion of the Capitol as the seat of the legislative branch. The history of the Capitol also serves as a reminder that the building, like the nation, both shapes and is shaped by history. There are still singed walls from the War of 1812 under the marble façade, and microscopic examination could no doubt find cracks from the vibration of distant cannon fire during the Civil War. Of course, there is no way to calculate the wear and tear caused by the millions of feet that trudge through the Capitol's sacred halls each year, but through it all, the Capitol has managed to endure, just like the nation it represents. The United States Capitol Building: The History and Legacy of the Seat of Congress looks at the winding history of the building and how it has changed over time. ungekürzt. Language: English.
