The Butterfly Boy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
The Butterfly Boy takes the listener on a dramatic, sweeping journey through two World Wars in Germany and races on around the globe throughout that tumultuous century. The Butterfly Boy is the story of Arnie, who as a small boy loses the use of his arms through polio, yet conquers this to grow up to be the "greatest mouth painter in the world". Born in a sleepy German town, Arnie rises to become one of Hitler's favourite artistes despite his handicap and his Jewish mother. Arnie risks his life to undertake covert activities for the Allies and the Christian resistance movement. Arnie matures into a great handsome bull of a man, who, despite not having the use of his arms, still manages to be a great womanizer and hell-raiser. The conflict between Arnie and his childhood nemesis, now Senior Nazi Officer Ratwerller, is a battle to the death that slashes through their lives like a sharpened razor. They stop at nothing to seek the destruction of each other. After the war Arnie, The Butterfly Boy, builds the Mouth Painting Charity around the world from which he makes tens of millions of dollars whilst destroying anyone that stands in his way. But it is his own waywardness and his unresolved past that haunts him. This is the story of an extraordinary man, taking an extraordinary journey during extraordinary times. You will love and fear for Arnie, and be hypnotized by him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Whale, Tony Klinger.

Richard Cottingham: The True Story of the Torso Killer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
The prostitutes working New York City's Times Square were more than a little bit nervous. A deranged serial killer who apparently melted into the crowd was picking up hookers and sadistically torturing them, leaving some girls wondering if there was a real-life Dr. Frankenstein out there attempting to create his own personal plaything from pieces of his dismembered victims. Some working girls were butchered in seedy hotel rooms, their heads, hands or breasts sliced off, their remains then set ablaze in an effort to dispose of any incriminating evidence. Others narrowly escaped death, but only after enduring hours of terrifying torture that included brutal bite marks, surface knife slashes and stab wounds that all served as bloody foreplay for frenzied sexual assaults. Survivors were found bleeding and delirious, unable to remember much due to the cocktail of drugs they'd been given by their assailant. But their bodies told a horrific story that was almost worse than death, and the sadistic calling cards left by the serial killer would eventually tie together victims in this true crime murder spree that crossed two states. It wasn't until one victim's screams grew loud enough that Richard Cottingham, an American serial killer who was part narcissist, part sadist and all evil, was finally caught by police as he fled his hotel room carrying his bag of torture devices. His capture allowed them to close the books on some of the most horrific murder cases in US history. This serial killer biography not only unearths Cottingham's sick, twisted crime spree, it also delves into the murderer's psyche, attempting to reveal why an insurance company IT guy's seemingly normal life would devolve into madness. ungekürzt.

Cuts on Me: A Contemporary Collection of Spoken Word Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min
Look closely. Closer. Do you see the cuts? It's not just this writer, they're on everybody. Tiny little slashes of pain from being ignored, forgotten, rejected, overlooked, called out, betrayed, victimized, demoralized, humiliated, afraid....Through Cuts on Me, Adrienne Ijioma reports on her assemblage of wounds bitterly formed by events experienced navigating through Life. Part 1 opens the case on sexual molestation, assault, & the writer's self-evaluations; next come the losses, the deaths, & the trauma of having to endure it with no ability to change circumstances but going through the motions. Later, the bitter viewpoint of the world through the lens of a person learning to process pain; and finally, the reality of today made better by new beginnings, hope, faith, & acceptance of oneself with love. "I've always worn sweaters in the summertime. No matter if cloudy or skies full of shine. Sweating down my back, I smiled like I knew it was cool. Walking down alleys, crossing streets, neutral, just to get through it. Some summers before, when I was still a girl, I only got kind waves when I passed by. But when bodies start changing shape, men start silly grinning and bold approaching, wanting more than a simple Hi. I wondered, Why? I wondered what I did wrong; when was the day that I stopped being momma's little girl and started becoming prey? I lost something learning that that's how it goes with innocence gone and blood flows..." So goes the opening lines of title poem, "Cuts on Me." This rich collection of poetry takes the listener on a progressive emotional journey ending in a place that is good, satisfying, and full of self-discovery, faith and hope. Forty outbursts of poetic release poised to inspire and touch many, delivered in ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adrienne Ijioma.

Snails & Monkey Tails
"There are countless books that can teach you the alphabet, but almost none that focus on the tiny designs that run interference among the letterforms: those easily overlooked punctuation and typographic symbols. These symbols, as Michael Arndt proves in this beautiful and endlessly fascinating book, are absolutely indispensable to communication: punctuation turns words into sentences and language into meaning... From commas to semicolons, from slashes to asterisks, from guillemets to octothorpes (named, perhaps, after athlete Jim Thorpe), you'll never look at punctuation the same way again."-Michael Bierut, partner, PentagramIn this show-stopping guide with more than 75 uniquely designed two-color spreads-a rollicking linguistic ride for fans of Eats, Shoots & Leaves and Just My Type-award-winning graphic designer Michael Arndt explores the typographic origins, names, and shapes of both common punctuation marks and symbols, as well as the proper and diverse usage of each.From the period to the question mark, the semicolon to the em dash, symbols and marks are an integral part of language. In graphically engaging spreads that utilize typography in an innovative way, Snails & Monkey Tails examines the evolution of these mighty linguistic tools-from the punctum, or point, created by an ancient scribe to the guillemet, used most commonly in lieu of quote marks by the French (and named in honor of a typographer Guillaume Le Bé). With verve and insight, Michael Arndt explains their proper usage and how they came to be universally accepted today. Snails & Monkey Tails-Snails (@); Monkey Tails (&)-is packed with intriguing facts, history, stories, and lore, as well as grammar, explaining it clearly and with examples. What is the purpose of the comma-perhaps the most used symbol in the English language-and what are the proper uses of the asterisk? Do quote marks go inside or outside punctuation? What about a quote within a quote-a quote from someone quoting someone else? How much space goes on either side of an ellipsis? What's the difference between an en-dash and an em-dash? Complete with a listing of useful terms and clear diagrams for creating typographical marks and symbols correctly on both PC and Apple computers, Snails & Monkey Tails is essential for bibliophiles, writers, grammarians, graphic designers, typography enthusiasts, logophiles, and anyone with a passion for the written word.- Shop: buecher

(Ohne Satzbezeichnung)Prominent Italian composer Paolo Ugoletti (born in 1956) describes his music as follows: "It consists of a theatre of sound, narration, fables and slashes of the imagination. It has something in common with the folly of the Baroque universe, the magical union of creativity and harmony: serried groups of notes, rapid developments, the skilful handling of chiaroscuro and snatched phrases all contribute the effects that culminate in the building ofclimaxes". This new recording presents three concertos by Ugoletti: a violin concerto and two concertos for instruments which seldom get a solo role in classical music: the soprano saxophone and the bass trombone.
