The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
At a time of astonishing confusion about what it means to be a man, Brad Miner has recovered the oldest and best ideal of manhood: the gentleman. Reviving a thousand-year tradition of chivalry, honor, and heroism, The Compleat Gentleman provides the essential model for 21st-century masculinity. Despite our confusion, real manhood is not complicated. It is an ancient ideal based on service to one's God, country, family, and friends, a simple but arduous ideal worthy of a lifetime of struggle. Miner's gentleman stands out for his dignity, restraint, and discernment. He rejects the notion that one way of behaving is as good as another. He belongs to an aristocracy of virtue, not of wealth or birth. Proposing neither a club nor a movement, Miner describes a lofty code of manly conduct, which, far from threatening democracy, is necessary for its survival. Miner traces the concept of manliness from the jousting fields of the 12th century to the decks of the Titanic. The three masculine archetypes that emerge, the warrior, the lover, and the monk, combine in the character of the "compleat gentleman". This modern knight cultivates a martial spirit in defense of the true and the beautiful. He treats the opposite sex with the passionate respect required by courtly love. And he values learning in the pursuit of truth, all with the discretion, decorum, and nonchalance that the Renaissance called sprezzatura. The Compleat Gentleman is filled with examples from the past and the present of the man our increasingly uncivilized age demands. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Lane.

Blue Room VIPs: Books 1-3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min
Tied and Twisted Since leaving the Army to launch a private security company and raise his younger sister, David Burke doesn't have time for women outside of business. He swears by casual and uncomplicated, and satisfies his needs within the walls of a friend's club - until business and pleasure cross paths in one of the club's exclusive Blue Rooms. When Jovanna Steeple's past rears its ugly head and violates the new life she's making, David might be enough to save her heart - but will he be enough to save her life? Naked and Unleashed The line between business and pleasure was never a concern for Callista Voorhees until Mikal Steele stepped off her client list and into her most twisted fantasies. She knows she shouldn't draw him into her uncivilized need to surrender, but Mikal's thinly restrained violence wreaks havoc with her good sense. Divided by responsibility and desire, Mikal fights to remain in control. He almost succeeds - until the lure of the Blue Room draws Callista in, and her confessions unleash Mikal's darkest beast. Tangled and Bound The powerful, magnetic man seated beside Melanie Burke on a flight to Las Vegas could have walked straight out of one of her dog-eared romance novels. When he strikes up a conversation with her on the late-evening flight, fictional fantasies become knee-weakening, panty-soaking, feminine-core-clenching reality - a reality she wants to revisit again and again. But jaded club owner Sam Fletcher has seen everything in the Blue Rooms, and he's weary of the games people play in pursuit of a thrill. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollie Jackson.

The Kingdom of Kush: A Captivating Guide to an Ancient African Kingdom in Nubia That Once Ruled Egypt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 206min
If you want to discover the captivating history of the kingdom of Kush, then pay attention...The kingdom of Kush was completely forgotten once it met its end. The stories of its might didn’t survive in the cultures of its successor kingdoms, possibly because Christianization soon followed, which required the people of the Nubian region to turn toward the East and the myths of the Christian messiah.There was no more room for the divine rulers, Amun and Re, or a place for their sons, the kings of Kush. The kingdom continued to exist in the stories of some classical writers, but it was often considered as nothing more than a distant, probably even imaginary, kingdom, where the uncivilized savages lived.It was not until the early 20th century that the kingdom of Kush received its rightful place in history. When the first archaeological survey of Nubia took place between 1907 and 1911, the distinctive cultural aspects of the Kingdom of Kush emerged, and it was finally seen as a separate entity from Egypt. In The Kingdom of Kush: A Captivating Guide to an Ancient African Kingdom in Nubia That Once Ruled Egypt, you will discover topics such as: Nubia and the Emergence of the Kingdom of KushFrom Alara to the Twenty-Fifth DynastyThe Rulers of the Twenty-Fifth DynastyRelations Between Kush and Egypt ContinueKush Between the 6th and 3rd CenturiesThe Meroitic DynastyThe Last Centuries of the Kingdom of KushThe Society of KushAnd much, much more!So, if you want to learn more about the kingdom of Kush, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button! ungekürzt.

The Golden Horde: The History and Legacy of the Mongol Khanate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
Though history is usually written by the victors, the lack of a particularly strong writing tradition from the Mongols ensured that history was largely written by those who they vanquished. Because of this, their portrayal in the West and the Middle East has been extraordinarily (and in many ways unfairly) negative for centuries, at least until recent revisions to the historical record.The Mongols have long been depicted as wild horse-archers galloping out of the dawn to rape, pillage, murder, and enslave, but the Mongol army was a highly sophisticated, minutely organized, and an incredibly adaptive and innovative institution, as witnessed by the fact that it was successful in conquering enemies who employed completely different weaponry and different styles of fighting, from Chinese armored infantry to Middle Eastern camel cavalry and Western knights and men-at-arms. Likewise, the infrastructure and administrative corps which governed the empire, though largely borrowed from the Chinese, was inventive, practical, and extraordinarily modern and efficient. This was no fly-by-night enterprise but a sophisticated, complex, and extremely well-oiled machine.While the Golden Horde technically refers to part of the Mongol Empire, today the Golden Horde is often used interchangeably with the Mongol forces as a whole. As such, the Golden Horde conjures vivid images of savage, barbarian horsemen riding across the steppes, an unstoppable force mindlessly slaughtering and burning. It is often imagined that they conquered by sheer brutality and terror and that they epitomized everything that came from the East: uncivilized, brutal, and undisciplined. This sensationalized image - impressed upon the West by Hollywood and by the perception of the “Yellow Peril” that has colored Western views toward Asia for a long time - began almost from the beginning. The Mongols treasured art and literature and protected religion, that of their subjects as well as their o ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

Fetching Charlotte Rose , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
As soon as she steps off the train into the hot western sun, Charlotte Rose wonders if she has made a mistake. Leaving Boston to take a job as the schoolmarm of the small town of Weston, Arizona had seemed like a good idea, but the man sent to fetch her from the station almost changes her mind. The handsome but uncivilized brute who introduces himself as Max Harrison not only calls Charlotte by her first name, he even demands that she change her outfit. Her humiliation is complete when, after ignoring his advice to put on something more suitable for the summer weather, she faints from the heat. To her utter shame, Charlotte is forced to endure being undressed down to her underthings to cool down, and worse still, Max warns her in no uncertain terms that any further foolishness will earn her a sound spanking on her bare bottom. Yet somehow, despite his threat to chastise her in such a barbaric fashion, Charlotte cannot deny that being in Max's presence sets her heart fluttering like nothing ever has before. Though she may be the feistiest woman he has ever laid eyes on, Max finds himself longing to see more of Charlotte - much more, in fact - and when he discovers that she feels the same way, he sets about courting her. But Weston is a very different place from Boston, and Max makes it clear to Charlotte that he will do whatever needs doing to keep his girl safe, even if that means taking her over his knee for a good, hard spanking as often as her behavior warrants it. Charlotte's love for Max grows deeper with each passing day, but she cannot help wondering if he sees her as nothing more than a silly girl in need of his constant protection, and matters come to a head when a violent, hateful man with a grudge against Max seeks to disrupt their lives. Will Charlotte's pride be her undoing, or will she finally get the chance to prove herself to Max? Publisher's note: Fetching Charlotte Rose is an erotic romance novel that contains ungekürzt.
