    The Book of Charlatans (eBook, ePUB)
    Uncovering the professional secrets of con artists and swindlers in the medieval Middle East The Book of Charlatans is a comprehensive guide to trickery and scams as practiced in the thirteenth century in the cities of the Middle East, especially in Syria and Egypt. Al-Jawbari was well versed in the practices he describes and may have been a reformed charlatan himself. Divided into thirty chapters, the book reveals the secrets of everyone from "Those Who Claim to be Prophets" to "Those Who Claim to Have Leprosy" and "Those Who Dye Horses." The material is informed in part by the author's own experience with alchemy, astrology, and geomancy, and in part by his extensive research. The work is unique in its systematic, detailed, and inclusive approach to a subject that is by nature arcane and that has relevance not only for social history but also for the history of science. Covering everything from invisible writing to doctoring gemstones and quack medicine, The Book of Charlatans opens a fascinating window into a subculture of beggars' guilds and professional con artists in the medieval Arab world.An English-only edition.

    The Rise of Mr. Ponzi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    In 1920 Charles Ponzi perfected a “rob Peter to pay Paul” investment scam and stole millions of dollars from unsuspecting, gullible investors. As a result of his illegal activities Ponzi spent most of his adult years in an American prison. Upon release Ponzi was deported to Italy where he became associated with the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Eventually Ponzi lost his government job and landed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he died on a charity ward in 1949. It was reported that the only item Ponzi left behind on his nightstand was his autobiography. In his own words Charles Ponzi tells the story of how he came to America, dreamed up his scheme, and perfected the now infamous Ponzi scheme still used today by other famous swindlers like Bernie Madoff. The Rise of Mr. Ponzi was privately published over 50 years ago and copies of that earlier edition are quite rare, if not impossible to find. The release of this audio version is the first time Charles Ponzi’s book has been professionally produced for a large listening audience. It is an amazing journey into the mind of the world's most famous swindler. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R F McCoy.
