    The Big Six: Swallows and Amazons, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
    For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, Arthur Ransome's classic Swallows and Amazons series stands alone. Originally published over a half-century ago, the 12 books are still eagerly read by children and adults alike –-by all those captivated by the world of adventure and imagination. Such longevity is not only due to Ransome's unparalleled gift of storytelling, but also his championing of qualities such as independence and initiative; virtues that appeal to every generation, whether young or old. In this (more or less) sequel to the adventures of Coot Club, Arthur Ransome returns once more to his beloved Norfolk Broads where trouble is again brewing for Joe, Bill, and Pete, the three boatbuilders' sons who live aboard the Death and Glory, and the three Coots, Tom, Dorothea and Dick. The problem seems to be that boats are constantly being set adrift and all the evidence points squarely at the three Death and Glories. In a clever bit of detective work, and with some help from a sophisticated photographic trap, the Big Six manage to exonerate themselves and catch the villains. Arthur Ransome was a prolific writer of children's books. Born in Leeds in 1884, it was his father, a nature-loving history professor, who inspired his love of the outdoors and nurtured a passion for fishing. As a child he enjoyed active, outdoor holidays: sailing, camping and exploring the countryside. He used many of these holiday settings for his children's stories. In 1936 he won the first ever Carnegie Medal for the sixth book in the Swallows & Amazons series, Pigeon Post. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Armstrong.

    Storm on the Range , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    Meet Tom Fernald, the gutless sheepherder of Mount Griffon. The townsfolk scorned him for being slow-witted, so he kept to himself, mostly. And Tommy never fought back when it came to bandits - maybe because he had nothing to lose. A freak accident on a wintry night turned Tom into a rancher of mysterious wealth. He stole a dead man’s fortune and wanted it for keeps. Only Bill Ransome, the reformed reprobate, knew the truth and was intent on seeing Fernald behind bars. To survive, Tommy had to become Mount Griffon’s most feared gunfighter! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Harding.

    So sieht Feminismus aus
    Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler: Diese Ikonen des Feminismus sind in aller Munde. Aber was ist mit Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Alexandra Kollontai oder Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain? In ihrer 250 Jahre und fünf Kontinente umspannenden Geschichte macht Lucy Delap deutlich, dass der Feminismus keine westliche Erfindung ist: Kurzweilig und inspirierend zeigt sie auf, dass konkrete historische Ereignisse rund um den Globus seine mosaikartige Entwicklung vorangetrieben haben und diese nicht losgelöst von Hautfarbe, Klasse und Sexualität gedacht werden kann. Freiheits- und Klassenkampf, neue Formen des Zusammenlebens sind beeinflusst von feministischem Denken und umgekehrt.Ein erfrischend neuer, postkolonialer Blick auf eine weltweite Bewegung, der in seinem Bezug zur Vergangenheit die Debatten der Gegenwart bereichert und öffnet.

    Così fan tutte, Hörbuch, Digital, 79min
    Mit knochentrockenem britischem Humor erzählt Bennett die Geschichte eines englischen Middle class-Ehepaars, das vom Opernbesuch nach Hause kommt und seine Wohnung vollkommen leer vorfindet. Mit dem Verlust der Einrichtung aus zweiunddreißig Ehejahren tun sich ungeahnte Möglichkeiten auf... Mozart spielte in ihrer Ehe eine wichtige Rolle. Sie hatten keine Kinder, und ohne Mozart hätten sie sich wahrscheinlich schon vor Jahren getrennt. An jenem Abend waren die Ransomes in "Così fan tutte", und als sie nach Hause kommen, ist ihre Wohnung komplett ausgeräumt. Auf der Suche nach dem Nötigsten für den Alltag - Tassen, Teebeutel, Spülmittel, Sieb und eine ochsenblutfarbene Schuhcreme für ihren Mann - gerät Mrs. Ransome in Läden und Gegenden, die sie vorher nie aufgesucht hätte. Eine merkwürdige Abenteuerlust und Lebensfreude bemächtigt sich ihrer, und am Ende ist für die Ransomes nichts mehr so, wie es einmal war. deutsch.

    Sea Fever: The True Adventures That Inspired Our Greatest Maritime Authors, from Conrad to Masefield, Melville and Hemingway , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 802min
    How did a big-game fishing trip rudely interrupted by sharks inspire one of the key scenes in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea? How did Robert Louis Stevenson's cruise to the cannibal-infested South Sea islands prove instrumental in his writing of The Beach of Falesa and The Ebb Tide? How did Masefield survive Cape Horn and a near-nervous breakdown to write Sea Fever? The waters of this world have swirled through storytelling ever since the Celts spun the tale of Beowulf and Homer narrated The Odyssey. This enthralling audiobook takes us on a tour of the most dangerous, exciting, and often eccentric escapades of literature's sailing stars and how these true stories inspired and informed their best-loved works. Arthur Ransome, Erskine Childers, Jack London, and many others are featured as we find out how extraordinary fact fed into unforgettable fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Russian Roulette: How British Spies Thwarted Lenin's Plot for Global Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 678min
    In 1917, a band of communist revolutionaries stormed the Winter Palace of Tsar Nicholas II - a dramatic and explosive act marking that Vladimir Lenin’s communist revolution was now underway. But Lenin would not be satisfied with overthrowing the Tsar. His goal was a global revolt that would topple all Western capitalist regimes - starting with the British Empire. Russian Roulette tells the spectacular and harrowing story of the British spies in revolutionary Russia and their mission to stop Lenin’s red tide from washing across the free world. They were an eccentric cast of characters, led by Mansfield Cumming, a one-legged, monocle-wearing former sea captain, and included novelist W. Somerset Maugham, beloved children’s author Arthur Ransome, and the dashing, ice-cool Sidney Reilly, the legendary Ace of Spies and a model for Ian Fleming’s James Bond. Cumming’s network would pioneer the field of covert action and would one day become MI6. Living in disguise, constantly switching identities, they infiltrated Soviet commissariats, the Red Army, and Cheka (the feared secret police), and would come within a whisker of assassinating Lenin. In a sequence of bold exploits that stretched from Moscow to the central Asian city of Tashkent, this unlikely band of agents succeeded in foiling Lenin’s plot for global revolution. ungekürzt.

    The Unopened Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, Hörbuch, Digital, 168min
    Here are six extraordinary adventures, never revealed before, starring Simon Callow as Sherlock Holmes and Nicky Henson as Dr Watson, written by John Taylor. "The Wandering Corpse": The professor claimed he knew how to resurrect the dead. Now he's dead and his body's missing from the coffin. "The Horror in Hanging Wood": The victim's arm has been wrenched half off, face battered out of all recognition. Who, or what, could have made such a ferocious attack? "The Paddington Witch": Saul Ransome's body was cooked like meat and black as coal. But "Garth Ransome is saying his brother was witched - that it was Bess that witched him." "The Phantom Organ": The night that Hugh Hembury was killed, a note was nailed on the church notice board: "Now is the hunter hunted. H H shall be first." "The Devil's Tunnel": A young woman disappears from a train as it speeds through a tunnel, and only her hat and one shoe are found. Surely too few clues, even for Sherlock Holmes. "The Battersea Worm": The Tower was Angel Holland's fortress. The only way to Holland's room at the top was by the passenger elevator, and Dr Watson was the only person who had used the lift the day she was murdered. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Callow, Nicky Henson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/bbcw/002021/pf_bbcw_002021_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
