Some say Demiel ben Yusef is the world’s most dangerous terrorist, personally responsible for bombings and riots that have claimed the lives of thousands. Others insist he is a man of peace, a miracle worker, and possibly even the Son of God. His trial in New York City for crimes against humanity attracts scores of protestors, as well as media and religious leaders from around the world.Cynical reporter Alessandra Russo heads to the UN hoping for a piece of the action, but soon becomes entangled in controversy and suspicion when ben Yusef singles her out for attention among all other reporters. As Alessandra begins digging into ben Yusef’s past, she is already in more danger than she knows - and when she is falsely accused of murder during her investigation, she is forced to flee New York.On the run from unknown enemies, Alessandra finds herself on the trail of a global conspiracy and a story that could shake the world to its foundations.Is Demiel ben Yusef the Second Coming or the Antichrist?The truth may lie in the secret history of the Holy Family, a group of Templars who defied the church, and a mysterious relic stained with the sacred blood of Christ Himself. ungekürzt.

Am I Coded? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
Lesbian romance, loving a man or a woman? Between achieving a firmer grasp on how to use HTML and CSS in conjunction, Latka went about the usual duties of her week. She went shopping, talked briefly with any friends she'd encounter around the local market (noticing more distinctly how most of what they had to say related to how well their husband was doing or how charming something he'd recently done had been), made a concerted effort to ensure that all of Yusef's shirts were scrubbed and made spotlessly clean, yet unless she served dinner to him slightly later than expected, or neglected to achieve some enforced duty to his complete satisfaction, they rarely shared more than a few words. But, as if by magic, Latka no longer felt any urge to resurrect the early phases of their courtship and try, in a way that she knew was futile, to understand how everything between them had become so despondent, and how, to Yusef, Latka increasingly seemed like more of a convenient utility, a mere robot to maintain order in the world surrounding him. In order to please her concerned mother, Latka agrees to marry Yusef. But, having given up the beginnings of a career and an independent life, Latka begins to feel increasingly trapped by her new husband, who isn't the sweet man he first appeared to be. To occupy her mind and do something that makes her feel accomplished and worthwhile, Latka has begun to learn about computer coding. On another lonely night, convinced that none of her friends will understand, she searches the internet to find a group called Ladies Can Code. At this group meeting, Latka comes into contact with an older woman. A mentor and an inspiration from the start, she will end up changing Latka's life forever. But will she ultimately have changed it for the better? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Valliere. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/064359/bk_acx0_064359_sample.mp3.

Colors of Nature: Culture, Identity, and the Natural World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 746min
From African American to Asian American, indigenous to immigrant, "multiracial" to "mixedblood," the diversity of cultures in this world is matched only by the diversity of stories explaining our cultural origins: stories of creation and destruction, displacement and heartbreak, hope and mystery. With writing from Jamaica Kincaid on the fallacies of national myths, Yusef Komunyakaa connects the toxic legacy of his hometown, Bogalusa, LA, to a blind faith in capitalism, and bell hooks relating the quashing of multiculturalism to the destruction of nature that is considered "unpredictable" - amongst more than 35 other examinations of the relationship between culture and nature - this collection points toward the trouble of ignoring our cultural heritage, but also reveals how opening our eyes and our minds might provide a more livable future. ungekürzt.
