  The Unrest Cure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min

  When a young brother and sister decide to effect an Unrest Cure on the prematurely middle-aged proprietors of a country hotel, success seems assured. Until, that is, the arrival of an unexpected guest.... Originating from a story idea by Saki, and further inspired by various archetypes from the novels of PG Wodehouse, the plot is embellished, extended, and moved to 1932 and a small Dorset village. The dialogue is very much of the period, faithfully recreating the cadence, slang, and expressions of the time. This play was the first produced by Plum Roll Productions and received fantastic reviews, leading to full houses and breaking box office records for the lovely Pentameters theatre in North West London. ungekürzt.

  Imp , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 117min

  From the writer of Ghost Hunter, Little Women with Big Guns, and Krakenstein vs. Koalatron comes an unforgettable excursion into the depths of the unknown. Loaded end to end with chills, this terrifying narrative is loosely based on accounts of encounters with the legendary Pukwudgie, a cryptozoological "myth" originating in Massachusetts' mysterious Bridgewater Triangle. Transplanting the action to his familiar Midwestern environs, writer Kevin Candela takes the listener on a hair-raising excursion into a shadowy world that exists in plain sight right beside our own, sending the tale's narrator deep into a frozen marsh in mid-January in search of the diminutive yet incredibly frightening entity. When he finally discovers the truth, both he - and the listener - will never be the same again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Bennett.

  The Kingdom of God Is Within You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 892min

  The Kingdom of God Is Within You by Leo Tolstoy is a philosophical treatise first published in Germany in 1894 after being banned in his home country of Russia. The work is the culmination of 30 years of Tolstoy's thinking, and sets out rules for a new organization of society, based on an interpretation of Christianity which focuses on universal love. In a bold and original way, Tolstoy shows his audiences why violence of any type - even that sanctioned by the state or the church - must be rejected. A high degree of the book’s appeal lies in its emphasis on fair treatment of the poor and the working class. Its concept of Christianity is that of a workable philosophy originating from the words of a remarkable teacher, and it has inspired many religious and secular leaders, including Gandhi. ungekürzt.

  History of Cinema , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min

  Cinema can be defined as the art of performed acting, intended to entertain an audience. Most people think of cinema as being of a very recent origin. In its true entirety, cinema is however, an ancient entity that has existed for three millennia at least. It could have existed prior to beginnings of our organized societies and settlements at least during the time when humans were still populating planet earth, but its modern inception can be thought of as originating during the late 1800s. Cinema has always been one of the most important mediums of communicating a theme through visuals and acts. It serves as the approach of convincing people on a certain topic; and that is why we have movies and motion pictures on a wide variety of genres and topics. Cinema has primarily been a medium of education and entertainment, both served with a well-intended purpose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

  Identity: Youth and Crisis (eBook, ePUB)

  Identity: Youth and Crisis collects Erik H. Erikson's major essays on topics originating in the concept of the adolescent identity crisis. Identity, Erikson writes, is an unfathomable as it is all-pervasive. It deals with a process that is located both in the core of the individual and in the core of the communal culture. As the culture changes, new kinds of identity questions arise—Erikson comments, for example, on issues of social protest and changing gender roles that were particular to the 1960s. Representing two decades of groundbreaking work, the essays are not so much a systematic formulation of theory as an evolving report that is both clinical and theoretical. The subjects range from "creative confusion" in two famous lives—the dramatist George Bernard Shaw and the philosopher William James—to the connection between individual struggles and social order. "Race and the Wider Identity" and the controversial "Womanhood and the Inner Space" are included in the collection.

  The World Has Forgotten Us (eBook, ePUB)

  The persecution of the Yezidis, a Gnostic religious community originating in Upper Mesopotamia, has been ongoing since at least the 10th century. On 3 August 2014, Islamic State attacked the Yezidi community in Sinjar, Kurdistan. Thousands were enslaved or killed in this genocide, and 100,000 people fled to Mount Sinjar, permanently exiled from their homes. Here, Thomas Schmidinger talks to the Yezidis in Iraq who tell the history of their people, why the genocide happened and how it affects their lives today. This is the first full account of these events, as told by the Yezidis in their own words, to be published in English. The failure of the Kurdistan Peshmerga of the PDK in Iraq to protect the Yezidis is explored, as is the crucial support given by the Syrian-Kurdish YPG. This multi-faceted and important history brings the fight and trauma of the Yezidis back into focus, calling for the world to remember their struggle.

  A Brief History of King Arthur : Brief Histories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 793min

  Who was the real King Arthur? What do the historical documents tell us about the Knight of the Round Temple? It is just a chivalric fantasy? The story of Arthur has been handed down to us by medieval poets and legends - but what if he actually existed and was in fact a great king in the early years of Britain's story? Mike Ashley visits the source material and uncovers unexpected new insights into the legend: There is clear evidence that the Arthurian legends arose from the exploits of not just one man, but at least three originating in Wales, Scotland, and Brittany. The true historical Arthur really existed and is distantly related to the present royal family. Mike Ashley is the author of the best-selling Brief History of the Kings and Queens of England and has been fascinated by the story of King Arthur for decades. He lives in Chatham, Britain. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Meadows. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/010320/bk_adbl_010320_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
