    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
    Mark Twain's witty, satirical tale of childhood rebellion against hypocritical adult authority, the Penguin Classics edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is edited with a critical introduction by Peter Coveney. Mark Twain's story of a boy's journey down the Mississippi on a raft conveyed the voice and experience of the American frontier as no other work had done before. When Huck escapes from his drunken, abusive 'Pap' and the 'sivilizing' Widow Douglas with runaway slave Jim, he embarks on a series of adventures that draw him to feuding families and the trickery of the unscrupulous 'Duke' and 'Dauphin'. Beneath the exploits, however, are more serious undercurrents - of slavery, adult control and, above all, of Huck's struggle between his instinctive goodness and the corrupt values of society which threaten his deep and enduring friendship with Jim.

    Adolf Hitler: The Leaders Series (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 58min
    Adolf Hitler had no compassion for his fellow man and yet could beguile them individually or in tens of thousands; he was so narcissistic that he could throw a tantrum to get his way if his supposedly iron will was contradicted. His favoured architect, Albert Speer, compared him to a 6-year-old child. This remark provides a valuable insight when considering Hitler's unthinking cruelty and incomparable destructiveness. In this sometimes spine-chilling audio biography, the dark atmosphere of the age is superbly conveyed, with actor Michael Burrell giving a terrifyingly convincing interpretation of the demonic despot. Hitler is played by Michael Burrell, with other parts played by Michael Kilgarrif and Michael Sheard. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Thorne, Full Cast.

    The Spirit of Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 17min
    When I speak of Jesus or any other character of Scripture, I am speaking of the personification of a principle, not of a person as you are or I am. The Bible records vision, and it makes no reference to persons or events which occurred on Earth.Unfortunately, people have mistakenly taken personifications spoken of persons - the vehicle that conveyed the instruction for the instruction and the gross first sense - for the ultimate sense intended.It is difficult to discuss a principle without personifying it and giving it words to speak. This is what evangelists have done; but to see Jesus as an historical character is to see truth tempered to the weakness of the human soul, unable to bear the strong light of revelation. ungekürzt.

    Treason's Harbour: Aubrey-Maturin, Book 9, Hörbuch, Digital, 165min
    Uniquely among authors of naval fiction, Patrick O'Brian's characters develop with experience, and although the Jack Aubrey of Treason's Harbour has a record of successes to equal that of the most brilliant of Nelson's band of brothers, and is no less formidable or decisive in action, he has grown wiser, kinder, and gentler too. Much of the novel's plot concerns intelligence and counter-intelligence, the field in which Aubrey's friend Stephen Maturin excels, and there is action and excitement aplenty, but it is the atmosphere of Malta that is so freshly and vividly conveyed here, crowded with senior officers waiting for news of the French and wondering whether the war will end before they get their turn for prize money and fame.

    The Crook in the Lot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 278min
    Originally published in 1737, The Crook in the Lot continues to bring comfort and inspire countless souls, and it remains one of the most beloved of all Puritan classics. Its depth of explanation regarding God's role in our afflictions and sufferings is without equal. Thomas Boston - a well-known, influential, and beloved Puritan - was famous for his ability to communicate sound biblical truths in a way that conveyed clarity and insight. In this Puritan classic, he not only reveals a theological understanding of the problems of pain and suffering but also preaches from tangible experience; Boston himself had problems in life that caused him great physical and emotional pain. This short but powerful treatise remains deeply relevant today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Denison. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/008692/bk_blak_008692_sample.mp3.

    Fifty Poems of Emily Dickinson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
    Emily Dickinson was born into a prominent New England family. Sociable as a child, she grew increasingly withdrawn and in later years became known as a recluse. Only seven of her poems were published during her lifetime. After Emily's death in 1886, her sister Lavinia discovered 1,775 poems bound and small packets tied with thread. They were first published in 1890, attracting unexpected attention in literary circles. With sparse, precise language, Emily Dickinson conveyed a penetrating vision of the natural world and an acute understanding of the most profound human truths. Her poems have been widely recognized as among the greatest in the English language. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sherlock Holmes Plays the Game , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 337min
    Sherlock Holmes Plays the Game is an interesting new collection of the further adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. It is unique in combining the style and intrigue of Holmes and Watson stories with the developing technology of turn-of-the-century Victorian England. Written in the original Strand Magazine style and told by Holmes' companion, Dr John Watson, these previously untold tales unfold with wit and humour. Although conveyed in the classic Holmes style, these adventures see the pair involved in tracking down a lost Shakespeare manuscript, illusions, railways, airships, kidnapped animals, and people, plus testing alibis, coded messages, advanced communications, and electric weapons. Holmes applies his highly developed powers of deduction to whole new fields of understanding, and the stories deftly mingle fiction with facts and events of the day. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Making and Unmaking Ancient Memory (eBook, ePUB)
    Making and Unmaking Ancient Memory explores the way in which ancient Greeks and Romans represented their past, and in turn how modern literature and scholarship has approached the reception and transmission of some aspects of ancient culture. The contributions, organised into three sections - Political Legacies, Religious Identities, and Literary Traditions - explore case studies in memory and reception of the past. Through studying the techniques and strategies of ancient historiography, biography, hagiography, and art, as well as their effectiveness, this volume demonstrates how humanity has inevitably conveyed memory and history with (sub)conscious biases and preconceived ideas. In the current age of alternative facts, fake news, and post-truth discourses, these chapters highlight that such phenomena are by no means a recent development. This book offers valuable scholarly perspectives to academics and scholars interested in memory, historiography, and representations of the past in the ancient world, as well as those working on literary traditions and reception studies more broadly.
