  A Time for all Things: Collected Essays and Sketches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 993min

  The finest nonfiction by Ruskin Bond, a singular writer who has inspired and comforted three generations, collected in a single volume.  A lifetime of reading and writing, observation and contemplation is distilled in this comprehensive volume of the best essays, profiles and sketches by Ruskin Bond, the masterly and compassionate chronicler of the small details and lambent moments that capture the essence of a meaningful life. By turns thoughtful, humorous, keenly observed and wise, these essays span more than 60 years of his writing - from reflections on companionship and solitude to lyrical yet finely honed appreciations of nature to nostalgic evocations of bygone people and ways of life. As an essayist, he brings to his travel narratives about the major pilgrimage centres of the Himalaya, or the story about searching for the gravestone of a long-forgotten author, the same empathy and sense of wonder that mark his accounts of glimpsing an elusive leopard or watching the mist rise in a forest of pines.   A Time for All Things contains the finest nonfiction of a singular writer who has inspired and comforted three generations with his sustained, steady and affectionate engagement with life in a world that grows ever more hectic. ungekürzt.

  The Tea Gardens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 751min

  Dr Isla Fenwick has a life that most modern women of 1933 might envy - her career gives her status, her pedigree adds freedom and her oldest crush, Jovian Mandeville, has reappeared in her life with a marriage proposal. Her life is beginning to feel complete. However, she insists on keeping a private promise she made to her late mother to work at the coalface of medicine in India before committing to life as a dutiful wife. With Jove's blessing, Isla sails to Calcutta to set up a new midwifery clinic. What she can't anticipate is how India will test everything she relies upon within, challenging her professionalism and her loyalties. But it is the fateful meeting of enigmatic Professor Saxon Vickery that will call into question what she trusts most about herself. When the pair travel into the foothills of the Himalaya for a stay on a tea plantation outside Darjeeling, Isla must make the most important choice of her life. And at the roof of the world - where heaven and earth collide - a price will be exacted for glimpsing heaven.

  The Call of Cthulhu, Hörbuch, Digital, 84min

  The Call of Cthulhu by Howard Phillips H. P. Lovecraft is one of the classic horror works, so called "Lovecraft horrors". American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror; the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore.His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Christian humanism. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality. Some people adore it, some people find it way too long (reading it is definitely work), but everyone agrees it’s a monumental story that ties together the universe where "The Call of Cthulhu," The Shadow Over Innsmouth, "The Dunwich Horror," and lots of other stories exist. A group of explorers go to Antarctica and discover evidence of a previous civilization. I don’t want to spoil the surprises, but I can at least tell you the big discovery the explorers make: There are things that even monsters fear.Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft:At the Mountains of Madness,The Dreams in the Witch House,The Horror at Red Hook,The Shadow Out of Time,The Shadows over Innsmouth,The Alchemist,Herbert West: Reanimator,Ex Oblivione, Azathoth,The Call of Cthulhu,The Cats of Ulthar,The Outsider,The Picture in the House,The Shunned House,The Terrible Old Man,The Tomb, What the Moon Language: English.

  Summary, Analysis, and Review of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min

  PLEASE NOTE: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "About the Author" section. PREVIEW: Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist concerns Santiago, a young shepherd boy who resides in Andalusia, a mountainous region in the south of Spain. Santiago, who had given up a path of priesthood in order to enjoy the nomadic life of a shepherd, has recently been having recurring dreams. The dream first occurred to him while he and his sheep took respite in an abandoned church in the countryside. Sleeping under the sycamore growing through the church's ruined roof, the boy's dream sees him visited by a little girl who guides him toward the Egyptian pyramids. The little girl tells him that if he goes to the pyramids, he will find a hidden treasure there. Having the dream twice, Santiago figures that it must be of some importance. While en route to trade sheep's wool with a merchant he stops in the town of Tarifa, hoping to speak with a woman who is said to be able to interpret dreams. Upon finding her, Santiago is discomforted to learn she is a Gypsy woman; having never met one before, he is somewhat unsettled by the unfamiliar furnishings of her room, as well as the unsavory stories he heard about Gypsies growing up. But upon glimpsing the Sacred Heart of Jesus in her home, he is put at ease. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Gilboe.

  Telling Our Way to the Sea: A Voyage of Discovery in the Sea of Cortez , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1027min

  A luminous and revelatory journey into the science of life and the depths of the human experience. By turns epic and intimate, Telling Our Way to the Sea is both a staggering revelation of unraveling ecosystems and a profound meditation on our changing relationships with nature - and with one another. When the biologists Aaron Hirsh and Veronica Volny, along with their friend Graham Burnett, a historian of science, lead twelve college students to a remote fishing village on the Sea of Cortez, they come upon a bay of dazzling beauty and richness. But as the group pursues various threads of investigation - ecological and evolutionary studies of the sea, the desert, and their various species of animals and plants; the stories of local villagers; the journals of conquistadors and explorers - they recognize that the bay, spectacular and pristine though it seems, is but a ghost of what it once was. Life in the Sea of Cortez, they realize, has been reshaped by complex human ideas and decisions - the laws and economics of fishing, property, and water; the dreams of developers and the fantasies of tourists seeking the wild; even efforts to retrieve species from the brink of extinction - all of which have caused dramatic upheavals in the ecosystem. It is a painful realization, but the students discover a way forward. After weathering a hurricane and encountering a rare whale in its wake, they come to see that the bay’s best chance of recovery may in fact reside in our own human stories, which can weave a compelling memory of the place. Glimpsing the intricate and ever-shifting web of human connections with the Sea of Cortez, the students comprehend anew their own place in the natural world - suspended between past and future, teetering between abundance and loss. ungekürzt.
