Arms and the Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 142min
Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw: Presented by The Online Stage. In Biography for Beginners, a collection of sarcastic quatrains about various celebrities, Edmund Clerihew Bentley wrote: Mr Bernard Shaw Was just setting out for the war, When he heard it was a dangerous trade And demonstrably underpaid. This rather unkind stanza is illustrative of Shaw's convenient pacifism, which forms the major theme of this play. For Shaw, war was an anachronistic form of barbarism - in his view, people ought to be able to resolve their differences through intelligent and spirited discourse. The action of the play, which occurs during a conflict on the Balkans, is initiated by the discovery by Raina, the daughter of an military officer, of a man who has taken refuge in her bedroom. Unfortunately, the man belongs to the opposing army. How will she deal with a notional enemy who behaves with such quixotic courtesy?

Never Unfriended: The Secret to Finding & Keeping Lasting Friendships , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 413min
In a world where women can unfriend each other with the swipe of a finger, how do we find friendships that we can trust to last? Maybe by first becoming those kinds of lasting friends ourselves. As the community manager at the website incourage.me since 2010, Lisa-Jo Baker has had the chance to engage hundreds of conversations with women about friendship. She's learned that no one can make us quite as unsure about ourselves as another woman. And nothing can wound as deeply as unkind words from a friend. While we are all hungry for friendship, it's the fear of feeling awkward and being rejected, left out, or hurt (again) that often keep us from connecting. But what if we knew we could never be unfriended? Would we risk friendship then? Starting with that guarantee from the most faithful friend who ever lived - Jesus - this book is a step-by-step guide to friendships you can trust. It answers the questions that lurk under the surface of every friendship: What are we afraid of? What can't we change? What can we change? And where do we start? With personal stories and practical tips to help you make the friends, and be the friend, that lasts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman.

Riding High: How I Kissed SoulCycle Goodbye, Co-Founded Flywheel, and Built the Life I Always Wanted , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 518min
This program is read by the author. From the cofounder of Flywheel and SoulCycle comes an audiobook about perseverance and success. Ruth Zukerman is the queen of spinning: She put the Soul in SoulCycle and the Fly in Flywheel. Recounting the pivotal moments that helped launch Zukerman as the breakout star of the boutique fitness world, Riding High is a reminder that the greatest success stories often start in the unlikeliest of places. Ruth Zukerman used her heartache - at the death of her father, the end of her marriage, and the dissolution of her first business partnership with SoulCycle, as the inspiration to reinvent herself. At 51, she founded a new business, the highly successful Flywheel, and built the life of which she’d always dreamed. And she did it all while navigating through single motherhood and a business world that is often unkind to women, especially those who wear their hearts on their sleeves. Riding High is a prescriptive, warts-and-all journey through Ruth’s evolution, offering fresh, unexpected business and life lessons to help listeners recognize their own potential and channel their passion into success. Part confidante, part mentor, Ruth pulls no punches and holds nothing back. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruth Zukerman.

Levi Battle's been left behind all his life. His mother could sing like a bird and she flew away like one, too. His father left him with his grandmother so he could work as a traveling salesman - until Levi's grandmother left this world entirely. Now Levi's staying with his Aunt Odella while his father is serving in the U.S. Army. But it's 1945, and the war is nearly over, and Aunt Odella decides it's time for Levi to do some leaving of his own. Before he can blink, Levi finds himself on a train from Chicago to Fayettville, North Carolina, where his father is currently stationed - last they knew. So begins an eye-opening, life-changing journey for Levi. First lesson: there are different rules for African Americans in the South than there are in Chicago.

Shelley Pearsall has created an unforgettable character in Levi and gives readers a remarkable tour of 1945 America through his eyes.

A Tale of Two Brothers
Kindness makes the world go around. Morris and Boris are brothers who look like twins-even down to the small humps on their backs. Morris is kind and helpful to everyone he meets. Boris is impatient and unkind. When Boris refuses to take his turn to go check on their hut in the woods, Morris volunteers to go rather than have an argument. The forest is enchanted: eyes peek out of every bush and rustling can be heard in the leaves. Morris takes care not to disturb or destroy animals and plants. Respecting nature with every step, he makes friends with tendrils, toadstools, and the forest itself. In the dark of the night, the tree spirits and forest witch give him something that he will never forget-they make his hump go away. When Boris sees his transformed brother he runs up the mountain. But instead of having reverence for the creatures around him, Boris tramples carelessly through the forest. Before long, the beings of the magic wood come forth. How will the mushrooms and the tender plant elves react? And what will the forest witch give him? Boris wonders why he has not been treated the same as his kind brother, but when Boris' own dog recoils in fear from his hand, he realizes he must change his ways. Eveline Hasler and Käthi Bhend's classic tale-based on a legend from the Ticino region of Switzerland-is lovingly reprinted and ready for a new generation to enjoy. "Bhend creates complex, wonderfully animistic landscapes, filled with both accurately rendered natural details, and hidden faces and forms woven into the underbrush."-Kirkus Reviews- Shop: buecher

Basket of Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 204min
This is a collection of short stories for children adapted from classic fairy tales for your and your child’s listening pleasure. With each story comes a set of questions you can ask and discuss with your child to test their understanding and comprehension. Every story has a moral to tell, and addresses issues of kindness, independence, cleverness, and much more. Without further ado, let us dive into these stories. May your imagination never die and the best go with you.Once upon a time many, many years ago, there lived two friends named Samma and Flannel. These two young men loved one another very much and were always together. No cross words passed between them; no unkind thoughts spoiled their friendship. Many an interesting tale may be told of their unselfishness, and of how the good fairies gave them the true reward of virtue. One story alone, however, shows the strength that was their goodness and affection.It was a bright, lovely day in early springtime when Samma and Flannel set out for a walk together, for they were tired of the city and its noises.“Let’s go into the heart of the pine wood,” said Samma lightly. “There we can forget all our cares and worries; there we can smell the sweetness of the flowers and lie upon the mossy ground.”“That sounds good!” said Flannel, relieved, “I am also tired. The forest is the perfect place for some rest.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tristan Knight. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/193650/bk_acx0_193650_sample.mp3.
