    The Borgias and the Cenci: Celebrated Crimes, Vol. 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 645min
    The prolific Alexandre Dumas, père, launched his writing career as a playwright and produced his first play in 1829. The success it and subsequent plays enjoyed enabled him to focus his efforts full-time on writing, and his interests grew to include novels (including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo) and travel books, as well as the popular Celebrated Crimes series presented here.  The eight-volume series was published in Paris in 1839-40 and contains 18 stories. The book met with instant success and had, as noted in the Introduction, “the added value of giving the modern reader a clear picture of the state of semi-lawlessness which existed in Europe, during the middle ages.” Dumas relates the intrigues of the Borgias and the Cenci; the bloody decades of conflict between the Catholic and Huguenot factions of France; the tragic tale of Mary Queen of Scots; the fates of Urbain Grandier, Karl-Ludwig Sand and Nisida; the ruthless Antoine Derue; the crimes of Marie Leroux and her co-criminal Claude Perregaud; the fascinating legend of "Man in the Iron Mask", Joan of Naples and Martin Guerre; the Marquise de Ganges; the bold and beautiful Marquise de Brinvilliers, poisoner; Turkish tyrant Ali Pacha, the Countess of St-Geran, the calculating Vaninka, and Napoleon’s Admiral Joachim Murat. This volume relates the stories of the Borgias and the Cenci. The former, a family of Spanish adventurers, came to dominate the Italian peninsula, and, when Rodergio Borgia became Pope Alexander VI, the world of Christendom, in the late 15th century. The Cenci was an aristocratic family, in which rampant sexual and domestic abuse led to murder and very public execution. Translated by George Burnham Ives ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Borgias: The Lives and Legacies of Rodrigo, Cesare, and Lucrezia Borgia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Alexander never did what he said. Cesare never said what he did. (Italian proverb) The stories and legends attributed to the Borgias have made them one of the most notorious families in history. Five hundred years after their deaths, they have come to be associated more with incest, political intrigue, murder, and state-sponsored violence. While 21st-century TV series have cast the Borgias as the first organized crime family, the rumors spread by the family's political opponents in the late 15th century have taken hold among a fascinated public. Did Cesare really have an incestuous relationship with sister Lucrezia? Did the pope really throw lavish orgies? While Rodrigo may not have been as colorful or criminal as the enduring legends, there is no question he was manipulative, ruthless and ultimately effective. From an administrative standpoint, Rodrigo was a success as Pope Alexander VI, with a big assist from son Cesare. In one of the most famous political treatises in history, Niccolo Machiavelli famously advised those who hold power that it is better to be feared than loved. The world has always had a fascination with femme fatales, and few historical women have ever been portrayed as one quite like Lucrezia Borgia. Lucrezia is a baseless, immoral villain in Victor Hugo's Lucrezia Borgia, and she continues to be depicted as a schemer and manipulator on par with her famous brother and father in film and critically acclaimed television series. The great irony is that Lucrezia's reputation seems to be wildly at odds with the actual woman herself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Chialastri.

    Rome, 1492: The Holy City is drenched with blood and teeming with secrets. A pope lies dying and the throne of God is left vacant, a prize awarded only to the most virtuous - or the most ruthless. The Borgia family begins its legendary rise, chronicled by an innocent girl who finds herself drawn into their dangerous web.... Vivacious Giulia Farnese has floor-length golden hair and the world at her feet: beauty, wealth, and a handsome young husband. But she is stunned to discover that her glittering marriage is a sham, and she is to be given as a concubine to the ruthless, charismatic Cardinal Borgia: Spaniard, sensualist, candidate for Pope - and passionately in love with her. Two trusted companions will follow her into the Pope's shadowy harem: Leonello, a cynical bodyguard bent on bloody revenge against a mysterious killer, and Carmelina, a fiery cook with a past full of secrets. But as corruption thickens in the Vatican and the enemies begin to circle, Giulia and her friends will need all their wits to survive in the world of the Borgias. ungekürzt. Language: English.
