    The Wonder-Worker of Padua , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
    St. Anthony of Padua (1195 - 1231) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He was born into a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal and later became a priest. He was noted by his contemporaries for his skillful preaching, knowledge of scripture, and unfailing love and devotion to the sick and the poor. He was one of the fastest canonized saints in church history and was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1946.There are many legends about this saint. For example, St. Anthony once went to preach in Rimini, where they treated him with contempt. So, instead he took himself to the shore and there began to preach to the fish. A great multitude of fish arrayed themselves around him. The citizens flocked to witness this marvel, and Anthony charged them with the fact that irrational fish were more receptive than the unfaithful of Rimini. At this point the people then gave ear to his sermons.This timeless, medieval classic is sure to delight listeners and enliven their faith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bobbie Helland.

    Trivia from Dead Silence: Horror Film Trivia Game , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
    Beware the stare of Mary ___.... Do you remember the ending to that memorable and poetic tidbit from recent horror cinema history? It's an iconic line from a cult classic and horror favorite, Dead Silence. How does such a low-budget horror film command such a widespread following? It's decent question, one that is worth pondering. Many fans flocked to watch Dead Silence to see in what direction the director, James Wan, would go after creating the Saw horror film and franchise. Dead Silence is currently available for streaming on Netflix and, of course, available on DVD for purchase or rental. Since Director Wan is reportedly involved in the creation of an eighth Saw film to be released just prior to Halloween, 2017, no doubt many horror film fans will want to revisit the repertoire of Wan films as a "primer" to this next forthcoming release.

    Playing with Boys, Hörbuch, Digital, 314min
    Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's first novel caused a sensation when it was published last year. Listeners flocked to the story of six friends in Boston because Valdes-Rodriguez created utterly fresh voices and characters. In Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's delicious new novel, three friends, each a Latina in her late 20s, take Los Angeles by storm. Marcella, Olivia, and Alexis have bonded not only over trouble with men but about how tough it is to make life work in L.A. no matter what you do. Marcella is a hot young television actress, hardly able to enjoy the life she's bought for herself, and she's certainly not enjoying her body, which is never quite perfect enough. Olivia's tethered to her toddler son and her suburban mommy track so tightly the other girls sometimes cringe. Alexis has a smart mouth, an ample body, and a great job, but about enough self-esteem to fill a Prada card case. The emotional richness and girly fun of the heroines' friendship will delight listeners. Language: English. Narrator: Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, Mara Holguin, Ingrid Oliu.

    The Death of WCW , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 867min
    What went wrong with WCW? In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong. But by 2001, however, everything had bottomed out. The company - having lost a whopping 95% of its audience - was sold for next to nothing to Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment. WCW was laid to rest. How could the company lose its audience so quickly? Who was responsible for shows so horrible that fans fled in horror? What the hell happened to cause the death of one of the largest wrestling companies in the world? The Death of World Championship Wrestling is the first book to take listeners through a detailed dissection of WCW's downfall. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Alvarez.

To date, Bartolomeo has hand-selected every chandelier, sconce, and ottoman in OLOF, so when the renovation of the local church is scheduled, he assumes there is only one man for the job. Trigiani's glittering mosaic of small-town characters sparkles: Bartolomeo's hilarious sister, Toot, is in desperate need of a postdivorce transformation, 13 years after the fact; "The Benefactor", Aurelia Mandelbaum, the richest woman in New Jersey, has a lust for French interiors and a long-held hope that Bartolomeo will marry her myopic daughter, Capri; Father Porporino, the pastor with a secret, does his best to keep a lid on a simmering scandal; and Eydie Von Gunne, the chic international designer, steps in and changes the course of Bartolomeo's creative life, while his confidante, cousin Christina Menecola, awaits rescue from an inconsolable grief. Brilliantly funny and as fanciful as flocked wallpaper, filled with glamorous locales from New Jersey to Europe, from Sunday Mass to the American Society of Interior Designers soirée at the Plaza Hotel, Rococo is Trigiani's masterpiece, a classic comedy with a heart of gold leaf.

    Hotel Scarface: Where Cocaine Cowboys Partied and Plotted to Control Miami , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
    The wild, true story of the Mutiny, the hotel and club that embodied the decadence of Miami's cocaine cowboys heyday - and an inspiration for the blockbuster film Scarface.... In the '70s, coke hit Miami with the full force of a hurricane, and no place attracted dealers and dopers like Coconut Grove's Mutiny at Sailboat Bay. Hollywood royalty, rock stars, and models flocked to the hotel's club to order bottle after bottle of Dom and to snort lines alongside narcos, hit men, and gunrunners, all while marathon orgies burned upstairs in elaborate fantasy suites. Amid the boatloads of powder and cash reigned the new kings of Miami: three waves of Cuban immigrants vying to dominate the trafficking of one of the most lucrative commodities ever known to man. But as the kilos - and bodies - began to pile up, the Mutiny became target number one for law enforcement. Based on exclusive interviews and never-before-seen documents, Hotel Scarface is a portrait of a city high on excess and greed, an extraordinary work of investigative journalism offering an unprecedented view of the rise and fall of cocaine - and the Mutiny - in Miami. ungekürzt.

    Hope in a Jar: The Making of America's Beauty Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
    How did powder and paint, once scorned as immoral, become indispensable to millions of respectable women? How did a "kitchen physic", as homemade cosmetics were once called, become a multibillion-dollar industry? And how did men finally take over that rarest of institutions, a woman's business? In Hope in a Jar, historian Kathy Peiss gives us the first full-scale social history of America's beauty culture, from the buttermilk and rice powder recommended by Victorian recipe books to the mass-produced products of our contemporary consumer age. She shows how women, far from being pawns and victims, used makeup to declare their freedom, identity, and sexual allure as they flocked to enter public life. And she highlights the leading role of white and black women - Helena Rubenstein and Annie Turnbo Malone, Elizabeth Arden and Madame C. J. Walker - in shaping a unique industry that relied less on advertising than on women's customs of visiting and conversation. Replete with the voices and experiences of ordinary women, Hope in a Jar is a richly textured account of the ways women created the cosmetics industry and cosmetics created the modern woman. The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosemary Benson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/009621/bk_acx0_009621_sample.mp3.
