    Is It Really the Sin of Ham?: A Brief Glance at a Controversial Passage in Genesis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 4min
    Many interpretive models of the controversial passage of Genesis 9, presume that the focus is on something shameful done by Ham, one of Noah's sons. He performed an act so embarrassing toward himself and his clan, that it is not even disclosed in the actual text. It is hidden in plain sight, presenting a sort of subtext which qualified, academic theologians tell us they can decipher. Often, these models, while they present interesting arguments on behalf of the view that Genesis chapter 9, verses 20 to 27, relates to a horribly shameful act by Ham, perhaps something even incestuous, overlooks an apparent emphasis within the text upon Noah's acts. ungekürzt. deutsch. 411 Audio. https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/092438/bk_acx0_092438_sample.mp3.

    Of Princesses and Freaks: Two Short Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min
    Alex Issa's thought provoking stories are difficult to classify. From post-apocalyptic fables tackling restraint in the absence of law to tales of hit man morality, his short fiction has challenged readers and delighted critics with its minimalist sensibilities and ever-present subtext. Here, two almost surreal short stories lead the listener through disturbing and somehow beautiful locations in the mind. "Bella's Slippers" Locked in the tower, Bella laments her fate, the decisions she made about the liquidation of her mother's estate, and the ambitions that have left her helpless on unforgiving stone with rodents and roaches her only companions. "Big Top Slick" A father explains to his son why running away to the circus isn't the best option in this surrealistic and vaguely philosophical exploration of society, shunning, and human nature. ungekürzt.

    Quo Vadis (eBook, ePUB)
    First published in Polish under its Latin title in 1896, "Quo Vadis" is a historical novel by Polish journalist, novelist and Nobel Prize laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz. The title means "where are you going?" and alludes to a New Testament verse (John 13:36). The popular novel was widely translated. Set in ancient Rome during the reign of the emperor Nero, "Quo Vadis" tells the story of the love that develops between a young Christian woman and a Roman officer who, after meeting her fellow Christians, converts to her religion. Underlying their relationship is the contrast between the worldly opulence of the Roman aristocracy and the poverty, simplicity, and spiritual power of the Christians. The novel has as a subtext the persecution and political subjugation of Poland by Russia.
