    The Punjabi's Wife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
    In 1968, a naive 19 year old Midwestern girl marries an older Pakistani man and moves to Lahore where she lives as a Muslim wife for almost two years. She did not realize that her new husband married her to gain American citizenship and return to the United States. Her life in Pakistan is adventure-filled: shopping bazaars, dancing girls, an Islamic red light district, historical Moghul architecture, and social turmoil. Over time these Pakistani experiences reveal how Muslims control and mistreat their women. The danger of fanatic Shiite religious practices and exciting travel are all balanced with her status as a blond American woman in a foreign land at the mercy of her Muslim husband. This true story unveils an informed observation of Muslim women's status in Pakistani society. The Punjabi's Wife is a book that asserts itself as a true American odyssey, a brave young woman's adventure story and lessons for western women contemplating relationships with Muslim men. ungekürzt.

    Intangible: Piercing the Veil, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 706min
    Peter Stewart grew up on a unique version of the Arthurian legends taught him by his father, a harebrained quantum physicist who asserts that anything is possible. But Peter disbelieves anything which cannot be scientifically explained, despite a nagging sense that there is more to the world than meets the eye. Lily Portman is an orphan with a secret: she can see creatures that are invisible to everyone else.  These creatures control every human being she has ever met to varying degrees...until she meets Peter and his father. When a mysterious stranger stages an accident which nearly costs Peter and Lily their lives, suddenly Lily learns that she is not crazy after all, and Peter discovers the truth of his father’s stories...including the existence of Arthur’s ancient nemesis, one who calls himself the Shadow Lord, and a prophecy with implications so profound that it will alter not only the course of their lives, but potentially the fate of the world. ungekürzt.

    Disrupted , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Disrupted is an exploration of the nature of the generation born during and after the great communications disruption of the last decade. Foreword by Futurist Davide Houle. It delivers strategic insights on how brands can navigate this new consumer-controlled environment. Written by tenured PR professional and president of a Los Angeles/New York PR and marketing firm, Stefan Pollack, Disrupted focuses on the iGen generation, the generation born between 1994 and 2004 (often called Gen Z). In just a few short years, iGen will be joining Gen Y as a majority among digital natives. Their existing consumer behavior represents the upcoming mainstream environment. Disrupted insists that brands need to understand how iGen communicates and change brand communication to be relevant and accessible by consumers since traditional strategies and tactics are becoming obsolete. Pollack asserts brands must gain trust with iGen by listening and becoming fluent in iGen's language and habits, conversing through two-way genuine and authentic communication, and delivering on brand promises. ungekürzt.

    The Education of Henry Adams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1304min
    Few works have so firmly established their position in American literature as The Education of Henry Adams. As a man of extraordinary gifts and learning, and a member of one of the greatest American families, Henry Adams wrote an insightful exploration of himself and the tumultuous age in which he lived. In the words of Van Wyck Brooks, he "revealed a phase of American history with unparalleled boldness and truth."In spite of his illustrious background and Harvard schooling, Henry Adams asserts that his conventional education was defective because it did not prepare him to live in a world transformed by the new science and the new technology. His intention was to write a kind of handbook to prepare "young men, in universities and elsewhere, to be men of the world, equipped for any emergency." The result is what many consider to be one of the finest autobiographies ever written. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wolfram Kandinsky.

    The Last Nephilim , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 711min
    Is it possible that the mythical gods of polytheistic Greece, Egypt, Assyria, etc. were actual people that lived shortly after the flood of Noah? The Last Nephilim is a work of historical fiction based upon the first chapters of the book of Genesis and several ancient apocryphal texts. The Bible presents the sons of Noah as monotheistic followers of the God of the universe. So how did their grandchildren end up reigning over polytheistic empires? What happened? This story presents the Nephilim of Genesis chapter six as gifted giants that essentially promoted worship of themselves as deities to post-flood human populations. The Bible asserts that monotheism was before polytheism, but there is no clear explanation as to why polytheism became so prevalent such a short time after the flood. This audiobook describes one possible explanation as to what may have occurred to have resulted in the explosion of polytheism. Written in a beautiful, scholarly fashion. This is refined, provocative look at events in history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Williamson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/011832/bk_acx0_011832_sample.mp3.

    Cold Mountain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 866min
    National Book Award, Fiction, 1997One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain is a masterpiece that is at once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished America in all its savagery, solitude, and splendor. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the fighting at Petersburg, Inman, a Confederate soldier, decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and to Ada, the woman he loved three years before. His trek across the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal converse with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign. At the same time, Ada is trying to revive her father's derelict farm and learn to survive in a world where the old certainties have been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts itself as an authentic American Odyssey: hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving. Winner of the 1997 National Book Award. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Frazier. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/000368/bk_rand_000368_sample.mp3.

    What If This Is Heaven?: How Our Cultural Myths Prevent Us from Experiencing Heaven on Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min
    Following her near-death experience as shared in the New York Times best-seller Dying to Be Me, Anita Moorjani knows well the truths that exist beyond common knowledge and acceptance. The clarity she has gained has led her to further understand who she was born to be. Part of that truth has involved contemplating the cultural myths infused into our everyday lives. Passed down from generation to generation, these myths are pervasive and influential. From the belief we reap what we sow to the idea we must always be positive, cultural myths are often accepted as truths without questioning. Moorjani asserts it is now time for questioning in order to help us reach our fully informed, authentic selves. Moorjani explores these common myths in their real-world existence while presenting examples from her own life that reveal the falsehoods beneath the surface. By freeing ourselves from these ubiquitous expectations, we can break open an honest pathway to life as it was meant to be lived. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anita Moorjani.

    A History of Rome, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 636min
    A History of Rome is the story of a tiny market town on the Tiber, its rise to world domination, and then its slow, terrible plunge to utter ruin. It is the single greatest event in all human history. Discover the fascinating origin of Rome and its mysterious Etruscan connections, its first faltering steps toward republican government, and its methodical subjugation of surrounding tribes. Slowly, the puritanical Roman Republic asserts control over all of Italy and in the process forges a political unity which proves enduring. That unity is sorely tested as Rome comes into conflict with Carthage and Hannibal, a horrifying ordeal which alters world history for all time. A resurgent Rome is next drawn into the intrigues of the eastern Mediterranean, finally conquering the Greek speaking world...only to end up surrendering itself to a seductive, decadent Hellenistic culture. A century of politcal tension and civil strife ensues. Follow the rise of powerful men like the brothers Tiberius and Caius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Cicero and the greatest Roman of them all - Julius Caesar.   ungekürzt. Language: English.
