This Long Pursuit: Reflections of a Romantic Biographer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min

From the great biographer of the Romantics, This Long Pursuit is a sweeping exploration of a career devoted to the art of life-writing. Thirty years ago Richard Holmes published Footsteps - a revolutionary novel that would become a best seller and influence profoundly a whole generation of younger writers. The Long Pursuit is a companion audiobook in that it ranges widely over the arts, science, poetry and inspiration to reflect upon the practice and importance of biographical writing. Holmes wraps his arguments in an exquisite cloak of many colours, sewn from stories of myriad different lives. One section of the audiobook is devoted to the biography of women - particularly scientific women who have long suffered the condescension of history, Margaret Cavendish and the lost women of science, Madame de Stael, Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Somerville amongst them. The audiobook includes a lighthearted look at how the popular reputations of some favourite Romantic figures - including the waterlogged poet Shelley, the chocolate-box painter Thomas Lawrence, the opium-soaked lecturer Coleridge and the lunatic bard William Blake - have altered spectacularly over time and the river of biography. With an author lauded for his magnificent novel The Age of Wonder and for his earlier biographies of Shelley, Coleridge and Johnson, This Long Pursuit contains some of the finest biographical writing ever published. ungekürzt.

Nordic Aliens and the Star People of the Americas: Through the Wormhole: The Ancient Astronauts Who Terraformed Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min

Humans living in a dark, flooded world without sunlight - that’s what the gods of the Incas found upon their arrival. They terraformed waterlogged Earth to make it habitable again and built golden cities along the western half of South America connected by 25,000 miles of Inca road.Inca legends match the biblical Genesis but with incredible detail that tells a much fuller story. Creation did not involve making the sun and moon, and Earth out of nothing - it reworked what was already here. Darkness suggests a sky filled with debris, possibly volcanic, blocking out sunlight and moonlight. Extraterrestrials cleaned our atmosphere to make the sun and moon visible again, and then settled on Earth for a time to teach us a better way of life. They taught us how to be human.These visitors from the stars instructed us in masonry, metallurgy, farming, road-building, irrigation, reading, writing, mathematics, a system of laws, astronomy, human and veterinary medicine, meteorology, toolmaking, cobbling shoes, and how to protect ourselves against wicked giants. And then they left, promising to return someday. We are still waiting.Contrary to traditional belief, they abhorred cannibalism and human sacrifice, two of our nastier traits, but like rebellious teenagers we did it anyways. Their method of teaching would be called kidnapping and slavery by some, presenting us with an ethical dilemma since we’ve used the exact same methods ourselves. We’ve even engaged in activities with “uncontacted tribes” that match an eighth-century AD attempted disclosure event by the extraterrestrials, with about as much success.Many ancient gods looked like us but were giants with skin as white as snow and equally white curly hair - in other words Nordic aliens. These “sons of god” commingled with the “daughters of men” to create a troublesome race of giants which tormented humans and had to be eradicated.Ancient American history is full of strange events in th ungekürzt.

Night Slashers: An Agnes McCall Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min

Daniel Montague has a secret. A secret so dark, so disturbing that he's pushed it to the back of his psyche and moved on. Unfortunately for him, it's itching to find the light. Down in New Orleans, Daniel finds solace in the winding waters of the Mississippi River. He's found a place that he can put his past behind him, a place that he can call home. He thinks he's finally found peace, but when his past comes knocking on his front door and the town erupts in a wave of brutal murders, he is forced to face a harsh reality. You can forget the past, but that doesn't mean it will forget you. Night Slashers, a gripping thriller riddled with twists, turns and the ultimate betrayal. Excerpt: The sound of water sloshing around echoed like a distant whisper. The wind whistled a muted lullaby as it blew through the trees. A soft gurgle grew louder and louder in Daniel's ears until he realized he wasn't dreaming. A slow, suffocating feeling burned his lungs, robbing him of air. Each breath he took was raspy and shallow like he was sucking through a broken straw. As he lazily opened his eyes, he spit out mud and wiped his face. His soaked t-shirt clung to his back, the other side was glued to him with mud. He was face down in a puddle of rainwater and his own vomit. Shivering, he rolled onto his side and curled into a ball. His head ached like it'd been slammed in between the trunk of a car. The constant pounding kept him from moving any further. His bones felt frozen and he was certain he was suffering from hypothermia. The cold wind breathed the smell of death over his face, sticking to his waterlogged skin. It reeked of spoiled milk and rotten fish. Daniel gagged as he sucked in the foul air. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson.
