    Moral Evil: Moral Traditions Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 760min
    The idea of moral evil has always held a special place in philosophy and theology because the existence of evil has implications for the dignity of the human and the limits of human action. Andrew Michael Flescher proposes four interpretations of evil, drawing on philosophical and theological sources and using them to trace through history the moral traditions that are associated with them. Flescher eschews the temptation to think of human agents who commit evil as outside the norm of human experience. Instead, through the honing of moral skills and the practice of attending to the needs of others to a greater degree than we currently do, Flescher offers a plausible and hopeful approach to the reality of moral evil. ungekürzt.

    Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min
    In the midst of spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies feminist theorist Donna J. Haraway offers provocative new ways to reconfigure our relations to the earth and all its inhabitants. She eschews referring to our current epoch as the Anthropocene, preferring to conceptualize it as what she calls the Chthulucene, as it more aptly and fully describes our epoch as one in which the human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. The Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sym-poiesis, or making-with, rather than auto-poiesis, or self-making. Learning to stay with the trouble of living and dying together on a damaged earth will prove more conducive to the kind of thinking that would provide the means to building more livable futures. Theoretically and methodologically driven by the signifier SF - string figures, science fact, science fiction, speculative feminism, speculative fabulation, so far - Staying with the Trouble further cements Haraway's reputation as one of the most daring and original thinkers of our time. ungekürzt.

    Playing in the Light: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
    By the Windham Campbell Prize winner. Set in a beautifully rendered 1990s Cape Town, Zoë Wicomb’s celebrated novel revolves around Marion Campbell, who runs a travel agency but hates traveling, and who, in post-apartheid society, must negotiate the complexities of a knotty relationship with Brenda, her first black employee. As Alison McCulloch noted in the New York Times, "Wicomb deftly explores the ghastly soup of racism in all its unglory denial, tradition, habit, stupidity, fear and manages to do so without moralizing or becoming formulaic." Caught in the narrow world of private interests and self-advancement, Marion eschews national politics until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission throws up information that brings into question not only her family’s past but her identity and her rightful place in contemporary South African society. "Stylistically nuanced and psychologically astute" (Kirkus), Playing in the Light is as powerful in its depiction of Marion's personal journey as it is in its depiction of South Africa's bizarre, brutal history. ungekürzt.

    2017 Château Cheval Blanc 1. Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Émilion A.C.
    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95/100 Punkte "The 2017 Cheval Blanc is composed of 56% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon-an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon for this wine. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens slowly to reveal a gorgeous lilacs, roses, licorice and black truffles nose over a compelling core of cassis, warm plums, wild blueberries and cigar box plus a waft of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, firm and earthy in character on the palate, it packs in tightly wound fruits and mineral accents, culminating in a long, perfumed finish. 50,000 bottles are to be produced."  James Suckling 97-98/100 Punkte "This is tight and very tannic with a linear and steely backbone of texture. Full-bodied, compacted and complete. Muscular and flexing it but polished and toned. Wow. There is 6% cabernet sauvignon in the blend, which may be giving this even more strength. Very, very long. Very Left Bank in terms of the power and depth."  Vinous (Neal Martin): 93-95/100 Punkte "The 2017 Cheval Blanc comes from 97% first generation grapes and 3% second generation from two-thirds of the vineyard, using a sorting table to select the ripest berries that were matured separately in small vats. The rejected second generation were sold off in bulk and not blended into the deuxième vin. There is a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and comparatively lower percentage of Cabernet Franc due to the frost damage. So this is a more Left Bank Cheval Blanc using more the gravel soils than clay since the latter are colder. It has a tightly wound, almost Saint Estèphe-inspired bouquet, with fresh blackberry, cedar, wet clay and light iris-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, masculine in style, less corpulent than the 2015 or 2016, stricter and more linear, a "cool" Cheval Blanc that eschews the florality of previous vintages with a saline, marine-tinged finish. This is a cerebral Cheval Blanc, not the greatest in recent years, but one of the most interesting to sit and think about (and then drink of course!). Trinkreife: 2024-2042"  Wine Enthusiast: 96/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. Ripe and juicy with immense fruitiness, the black currant flavors and solid tannins are an indication of the long future ahead of this wine. Big in structure, it has a richly perfumed character as well as great fruit. It´s a great wine that´s ready to age for many years."  Decanter: 96/100 Punkte "A sense of forward motion here makes you smile - a reaction that's missing in many wines this year. The tannins push their way right through the palate, but cradle the cassis and bilberry fruit rather than smother it, helped by the fact that floral and smoky aromatics rise up. There's good persistency and you get that little kick and dance of minerality. The precision engineering is clear, but the overall feeling is simply of cohesion and enjoyment. 3.65ph. 100% new oak, but without a trace even now at this early stage. Approximately 60% of the wine this year came from the gravelly plots which were less affected by the frost, which accounts for a slightly higher level of Cabernet Sauvignon than usual. They used perhaps 1% of secondary budding in this blend (five weeks behind schedule at bud-break and then around 15 days by harvest) and kept picking from 15 September to 11 October - an extremely long schedule compared to most estates in 2017. With around 30% loss to frost, there will be 50,000 bottles of Cheval in 2017, compared to 116,000 in 2016. 21hl/ha yield this year, 75% destined for the grand vin. Drinking Window 2026 – 2040” Weinwisser: 19,5/20 Punkte "56 % Merlot, 30 % Cabernet Franc. 14 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 77 % Grand Vin. 13 Vol.-%. Produktion: 55.000 Flaschen. 45 hl/ha, 5 % aus «Second Generation-Austrieb». Dichtes dunkles Purpur mit violettem Schimmer. Komplexes, kühl ausgerichtetes Bouquet mit Pflaumen, frisch geriebene Schokolade, frischem Darjeeling und herrlich floralen Noten (Veilchen). Im zweiten Ansatz mit süssen Kirschen, frisch gemahlenem schwarzen Bergpfeffer und dunklen Edelhölzern mit viel tiefgründiger Würze. Am Gaumen mit sattem, sehr dichtem Extrakt, dabei klassisch bleibend, so feingliedrig habe ich diesen Wein bei den Primeurs noch nicht erlebt. Im langen Abgang betört er mit Lakritze, frischem Szechuanpfeffer und Wildkirsche. Das ist flüssiges, pures Kaschmir – was für eine Delikatesse! Der beste Wein aus St.-Émilion dieses Jahr, mit dem höchsten Anteil an Cabernet Sauvignon im Blend. 2029-2060" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    Invasion Revealed: Healing Alcoholism, Mental Illness & Drug Addiction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    Invasion Revealed explains the negative elements that invade our mental realm from a spiritual perspective. Harris calls addicts “dysfunctional people” but eschews the term “abnormal.” She sees them rather as demon-possessed and urges them to take immediate steps to love themselves and drive out their own demons, which she says are actual translucent spirits that can control one’s innermost thoughts. Alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness, Alzheimer’s, and similar illnesses are caused by the individual’s unintentional neglect and ignorance of the spirit nature of the self. These illnesses affect millions of people worldwide. Even so, thousands of people suffer and die while we wait for a different approach to healing. Professionals who offer help need to understand the spiritual invasion that is causing the dysfunction, and sick people must be trained to think differently about themselves before they can recover. Harris offers 10 steps for self-healing such as praise yourself, give yourself permission to change, and retrain your negative self-talk. Basing her ideas partly on Biblical teaching, she compares these steps to Jesus driving demons out of suffering people. A summation of her teaching is that “thinking ‘I love myself’ is the best medicine you can ever take.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roxanne Black.

With the rest of her extended family gone for the holiday, childhood friend Emily Grandby offers James a room at her estate.
