    Die Ella Fitzgerald Story, Hörbuch, Digital, 58min
    Am 15. Juni 1996 verstummte für einen kurzen Augenblick die Welt. Die Königin des Jazz, Ella Jane Fitzgerald, hatte für immer die Augen geschlossen. Eine Frau, die die Welt mit ihrer Drei-Oktaven-Stimme bewegt hatte. Die Frau, die von ganz unten kam, und sich in die Herzen der Menschen sang. Ihr Leben war wie der wahr gewordene amerikanische Traum.Am 25. April 1917 in Newport News, Virginia in bitterer Armut geboren und von ihrer schweren Kindheit gezeichnet, gelang ihr das, was den meisten Menschen versagt bleibt: der märchenhafte Durchbruch, der zu einer steilen, weltweiten Karriere auf unzählige Bühnen der Welt und des Fernsehens führte. Doch am Ende ihres Lebens stand ein beinahe schon erlösender Tod nach einer schweren Erkrankung an Diabetes. Einsam ist sie gewesen, als sie ihrer Krankheit erlag. Einsam in ihrem riesigen Palast; in ihrer Villa in Beverly Hills.Ella Fitzgerald war die "First Lady of Swing" und ist bis heute die wohl beachtenswerteste Jazzsängerin weltweit. Am 25. April 2017 wäre sie hundert Jahre alt geworden. Zusammen mit ihren größten Hits erscheint nun eine ganz besondere Biografie, die das tragische und zugleich aufregende Leben dieser Jazzlegende beschreibt - ehrlich, echt und unverfälscht. deutsch.

    Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
    Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does - humans are a musical species. Oliver Sacks’s compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own brains, and of the human experience. In Musicophilia, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people. He explores how catchy tunes can subject us to hours of mental replay, and how a surprising number of people acquire nonstop musical hallucinations that assault them night and day. Yet far more frequently, music goes right: Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson’s disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people whose memories are ravaged by Alzheimer’s or amnesia.Music is irresistible, haunting, and unforgettable, and in Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks tells us why.  ungekürzt.

    Cotton Malone retired from the high-risk world of elite operatives for the U.S. State Department to lead the low-key life of a rare-book dealer. But his quiet existence is shattered when he receives an anonymous e-mail: " You have something I want. You're the only person on earth who knows where to find it. If I don't hear from you, you will be childless." His horrified ex-wife confirms that their teenage son has been kidnapped. When Malone's bookshop is burned to the ground, it becomes clear that those responsible will stop at nothing to get what they want: the lost library of Alexandria. A cradle of historical, philosophical, literary, scientific, and religious ideas, the ancient library of Alexandria was unparalleled in the world. But 1,500 years ago, it vanished into the mists of myth and legend. Now a cartel of wealthy international moguls is desperate to breach the library's hallowed halls, and only Malone possesses the information they need to succeed. Pursued by a lethal mercenary, Malone crosses the globe in search of answers. His quest will lead him to England and Portugal, to the highest levels of the American government, and to a shattering outcome that will have worldwide repercussions. Language: English.

    The Hamilton Case , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    The place is Ceylon, the time the 1930s. Set amid tea plantations, decay and corruption, this sinuous, subtle, surprising novel is a masterly evocation of time and place, of colonialism and the backwash of empire. It is the story of an embittered Ceylonese lawyer, Sam Obeysekere himself a product of empire - 'obey' by name and by nature - and of a family that once had wealth and influence but starts to crack open when Sam's charismatic father dies leaving gambling debts, an ex-beauty of a wife, an unstable daughter and an inadequate son. But the writing has been on the wall for a generation, ever since another sibling died in his cot- And at the heart of the novel is the Hamilton Case, a 'White Mischief' murder scandal that shakes the upper echelons of the island's society. Sam's involvement in it makes his name but paradoxically ensures that he will never achieve his ambition. A miracle of delicacy and restraint, full of volte faces, and narrated with perfect pitch in a voice that catches both the tragedy and comedy of their situation, this is a gripping, nuanced tale of the end of an era, suffused with 'the unbearable thought that everything might have turned out differently'. ungekürzt.

    Blue Skies, No Fences: A Memoir of Childhood and Family, Hörbuch, Digital, 338min
    Utilizing her extensive knowledge and love of American history, and the research skills she honed while acquiring a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Lynne Cheney set out to explore her own and her husband's family trees. After years of research, she uncovered two family histories that spanned almost three centuries and shared common themes of optimism, perseverance, and undaunted courage. Both families moved westwards in a growing nation, seeking lives of greater opportunity. Mrs. Cheney provides information about her family, which originally settled in Pennsylvania, and the vice president's family. He is descended from Puritans who originally settled in New England. She relates true stories about noteworthy and colorful members of both families and each family's progress westward. As the narrative draws closer to to the present day, Mrs. Cheney movingly recounts her life as a small-town girl outside of Casper, Wyoming. The poignant realism with which she depicts mid-20th-century America will remind listeners of Thornton Wilder's classic American drama Our Town. Providing a fresh view of America via generations of two adventurous families, as well as information about conducting genealogical research, Mrs. Cheney entertains and enlightens, and is sure to inspire listeners to explore their own family histories.

    Wie viele Sklaven halten Sie? Über Globalisierung und Moral, Hörbuch, Digital, 461min
    Moral lässt sich nicht outsourcen! Wenn Sie Kleidung tragen, Nahrung zu sich nehmen, ein Auto fahren oder ein Smartphone haben, arbeiten derzeit ungefähr 60 Sklaven für Sie und mich. Ob wir wollen oder nicht. Und ohne dass wir das veranlasst hätten. Wie fühlen Sie sich damit? Dies fragt BWL-Professorin Evi Hartmann und meint es nicht rhetorisch! Unsere Wirtschaft macht uns alle zu Sklavenhaltern - das führt uns jedes Drei-Euro-T-Shirt und jede Reportage über die Sweatshops in der Dritten Welt vor Augen. Dennoch machen wir weiter mit. Wir können die Globalisierung nicht abschaffen, auch können wir die Spielregeln nicht ändern. Doch wir können anders spielen, zeigt die Expertin für globale Netzwerke. Evi Hartmanns Hörbuch... ... zeigt: Menschen werden ausgepresst, Preise immer stärker gedrückt. Die Fabrikarbeiterinnen in den Sweatshops verlieren Gesundheit und Leben und wir unsere moralischen Grundsätze, intakte Umwelt und Weltklima. Wir wissen das und wir machen trotzdem alle immer weiter mit - als Unternehmer, Manager, Professoren, Lehrer, Konsumenten. ... ist weit mehr als eine kritische Analyse. ... ist ein Wegweiser, wie Fairplay in der Globalisierung funktioniert - aufgezeichnet von einer BWL-Professorin und vierfachen Mutter. ... ist drastisch, originell und aus dem persönlichen und unternehmerischen Alltag gegriffen. Ihr Fazit: Fairplay ist möglich, jeden Tag neu! ... ist die persönlichste Globalisierungskritik, die Sie je gehört haben. ... ist keine Aufforderung, die Globalisierung abzuschaffen. ... bietet eine Anleitung zum kritischen Denken und pragmatischen Handeln. deutsch.

    Der Tod zu Gast auf Mallory Manor: Sherlock Holmes 66.2, Hörbuch, Digital, 290min
    Edition mit Joachim Hansen und Mogens von Gadow als Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson Diese Geschichte hat einen eigenen Handlungsverlauf, welcher von "Sherlock Holmes Edition 66.1" abweicht.Als Sir Joseph Mallory leblos auf seinem Landsitz bei Cheltenham aufgefunden wird, glaubt jeder zunächst an das Augenscheinliche: Ein unerwartetes Herzversagen... Nichts weist darauf hin, dass der Patriarch, der erst kürzlich aus Indien zurückgekehrt war, eines gewaltsamen Todes gestorben sein könnte. Einzig der Notar Philipp Driscoll argwöhnt, dass der Schein in diesem Fall trügen könnte, denn Sir Joseph erfreute sich bis zuletzt allerbester Gesundheit. Driscoll sendet ein Telegramm an Sherlock Holmes und bittet den Meisterdetektiv um Hilfe. Gemeinsam mit Dr. Watson macht Holmes sich auf die Reise, die von London bis in die Nähe des Bristol-Kanals führt.Gerade erst auf Mallory Manor eingetroffen, gerät Holmes in ein Labyrinth verwirrender Fakten und raffinierter Intrigen: Wenn Sir Joseph tatsächlich ganz plötzlich und unerwartet in seinem Sessel starb - weshalb hielt er dann mit einer Hand ein Gewehr umklammert und in der anderen seine Zigarre? Warum beharrt der Gehilfe des Lords darauf, ein uralter Fluch könnte Sir Joseph ereilt haben? Und was haben die anderen Bewohner von Mallory Manor zu verbergen? Es herrscht eine bedrückende Atmosphäre allgegenwärtigen Misstrauens. Denn vom Butler bis zu den einzelnen Familienmitgliedern besitzt jeder ein potentielles Motiv, Sir Joseph ermordet zu haben. Doch als unvermittelt eine weitere Leiche gefunden wird, begreifen Holmes und Watson die erschreckende Wahrheit: Es ist. der Tod zu Gast auf Mallory Manor.Begleiten Sie den größten Detektiv der Romangeschichte bei seinen Ermittlungen auf Mallory Manor. Folgen Sie ihm bei seiner Spurensuche und der akribischen Sammlung von Indizien. Richten Sie Ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf Dr. Watson. Was bringt er zeitgleich an einem anderen Ort des Herrenhauses in Erfahrung? Welchen Hinw deutsch.
