Barons of the Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 746min

In the grand tradition of David McCullough and Ron Chernow, the sweeping story of the 19th-century American dynasties who battled for dominance of the tea and opium trades. There was a time, back when the United States was young and the robber barons were just starting to come into their own, when fortunes were made and lost importing luxury goods from China. It was a secretive, glamorous, often brutal business - one where teas and silks and porcelain were purchased with profits from the opium trade. But the journey by sea to New York from Canton could take six agonizing months, and so the most pressing technological challenge of the day became ensuring one’s goods arrived first to market, so they might fetch the highest price. Barons of the Sea tells the story of a handful of cutthroat competitors who raced to build the fastest, finest, most profitable clipper ships to carry their precious cargo to American shores. They were visionary, eccentric shipbuilders, debonair captains, and socially-ambitious merchants with names like Forbes and Delano - men whose business interests took them from the cloistered confines of China’s expatriate communities to the sin city decadence of Gold Rush-era San Francisco, and from the teeming hubbub of East Boston’s shipyards and to the lavish sitting rooms of New York’s Hudson Valley estates. Elegantly written and meticulously researched, Barons of the Sea is a riveting tale of innovation and ingenuity that draws back the curtain on the making of some of the nation’s greatest fortunes, and the rise and fall of an all-American industry as sordid as it was genteel. ungekürzt.

Confederate Narratives in the Civil War Collection: Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence, From Manassas to Appomattox, A Blockaded Family: Life in Southern Alabama During the Civil War, & The War-Time Journal of a Georgia Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 3023min

One of the most studied and written about episodes in US history, the American Civil War remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate. The conflict was one of the earliest industrial wars in which mass-produced weapons were employed. The mobilization of civilian factories, shipyards, transportation, and food supplies all foreshadowed the impact of industrialization in World War I, World War II, and subsequent conflicts. Confederate Narratives in the Civil War Collection includes:Book one: Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence. Johann August Heinrich Heros von Borcke (1835-1895) was a Prussian cavalry officer who served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. After the Confederacy's surrender in 1865, von Borcke rejoined the Prussian Army for the Austro-Prussian War. Von Borcke served under General J.E.B. Stuart, General Stonewall Jackson, and General Robert E. Lee, and he gives a personal look into the lives of these men and of the privates whom he fought beside. He recorded his interactions with anyone he encountered during his time in the Confederate Cavalry, from the friends he made among citizens and servants to his detailed experiences on the battlefield. Book two: From Manassas to Appomattox, the memoirs of Lieutenant-General James Longstreet, contains much of historical interest. He provides a personal account of the progress of the Civil War, plus a wealth of anecdotes about Robert E Lee and his officers. Longstreet was the commander of the Confederate Army's First Corps, which fought through most of the major wartime campaigns. Book three: A Blockaded Family: Life in Southern Alabama During the Civil War by Parthenia Antoinette Hague. An outstanding primary source of Southern life during the Yankee blockade, the book is a memoir of daily life on a Southern plantation during the Civil War. The narrative provides details on a wide spectrum of issues of historical intere ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Museum Audiobooks cast.

City of Lies: Inspector Ransom Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min

It is 1896 in Chicago - which means it has been three years since Inspector Alastair Ransom beat the charge of murder of a cleric, but his enemies have been working behind the scenes to hang him for the very same crime.Such a thing may appear impossible given double-jeopardy laws, but the Chicago Archdiocese and other powerful groups want Ransom's head. The book opens with this battle being waged by Ransom from behind bars. However, he is soon badly needed on a case involving mutilated torsos - that is, headless and limbless bodies that have been brutally ripped apart. With the help of the trusted people around him - Jane Tewes, her daughter, Gabby, Dr. Christian Fenger, Philo Keane, and Henry Bosch - Ransom begins to put the pieces together. Pieces that include a mutilated tattoo, the nature of the rips and tears to the flesh, and strange activity at the Chicago shipyards, the local taverns, the race track, and the streets of Chicago in 1896.All this during a time when Inspector Alastair Ransom is getting closer to understanding what truly happened at the Haymarket riot which maimed Ransom, years ago. After receiving the head of a childhood friend delivered in a box, Ransom learns that Tony is connected to both the old crime and today's crimes. Tony is now a friend who is among the series of victims to the butcher - or butchers - leaving torsos about the city. At the same time, Alastair is falling even more deeply in love with Dr. Jane Tewes and her daughter, Gabby, with whom he now closely works, as Gabby Tewes had become Fenger's assistant in the morgue. The final unmasking of the pure evil at work in the city comes clear when Ransom pulls back the layers and follows the paths that lead to justice.Hypnosis and old-fashioned police work begin to focus Ransom's search for answers to both the crime in Chicago history and the current series of brutal murders terrifying all of Chicago. ungekürzt.
