    Die Errettung des Schönen
    Eine Ästhetik des digitalen Zeitalters - Jeff Koons, iPhone und Brasilian Waxing: Warum finden wir das Glatte schön?Die Schönheit befindet sich heute in einer paradoxalen Situation. Einerseits breitet sie sich inflationär aus: Überall wird ein Kult um die Schönheit betrieben. Andererseits verliert sie jede Transzendenz und liefert sich der Immanenz des Konsums aus: Sie bildet die ästhetische Seite des Kapitals. Die Erfahrung der Negativität angesichts des Schönen wie Erhabenheit oder Erschütterung weicht komplett dem kulinarischen Wohlgefallen, dem Like. Letzten Endes kommt es zu einer Pornographisierung des Schönen. Der vorliegende Essay des bekannten Philosophen Byung-Chul Han beschwört jene Formen des Schönen, die sich als Wahrheit, als Desaster oder als Verführung manifestieren. Erschlossen werden auch jene Dimensionen des Schönen, die eine Ethik oder Politik des Schönen begründen würden.

    At the Strangers' Gate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min
    When Adam Gopnik and his soon-to-be-wife, Martha, left the comforts of home in Montreal for New York, the city then, much like today, was a pilgrimage site for the young, the arty, and the ambitious. But it was also becoming a city of greed, where both life's consolations and its necessities were increasingly going to the highest bidder. At the Strangers' Gate builds a portrait of this particular moment in New York through the story of this couple's journey - from their excited arrival as aspiring artists to their eventual growth into a New York family. Gopnik transports us to his tiny basement room on the Upper East Side and later to SoHo, where he captures a unicorn: an affordable New York loft. He takes us through his professional meanderings, from graduate student cum library clerk to the corridors of Conde Nast and the galleries of MoMA. Between tender and humorous reminiscences, including affectionate portraits of Richard Avedon, Robert Hughes, and Jeff Koons, among many others, Gopnik discusses the ethics of ambition, the economy of creative capital, and the peculiar anthropology of art and aspiration in New York, then and now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Gopnik. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/qpuk/000359/bk_qpuk_000359_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    When Takumi Met the Legends of the World
    Selfies are today an inescapable part of our visual landscape and our self-expression, and the ultimate dream of many selfie-takers is to snap oneself with a celebrity. Takumi Hasegawa fulfills this dream in this book, which presents him posing with his personal legends of the international rich and famous. From the worlds of fashion (Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Riccardo Tisci) and architecture (Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry), to the arts (Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, Thom Yorke) and luxury moguls Bernard Arnault and Pierre Bergé, Hasegawa's subjects speak for themselves. Yet the resonance of his project is more complex: in When Takumi Met the Legends of the World, designed as an intimate scrapbook or album of memories, Hasegawa's joy in each shot is palpable, but so is a sense of the seductive, false promise of fame.

    »Das drucken Sie aber nicht!«
    Ausnahmeköpfe ergründen sich und das LebenKeinen Satz hört Sven Michaelsen öfter als: »Das drucken Sie aber nicht!« Doch jedes Mal siegt die Sehnsucht der Interviewten, vor den Spiegel zu treten und sich darüber klar zu werden, wie sie wurden, wer sie sind. Und so erzählt der Schauspieler Rupert Everett von seiner Vergangenheit als Callboy. Der Publizist Fritz J. Raddatz erinnert, wie ihn mit elf Jahren die eigene Stiefmutter vergewaltigt. Der Kunst-Tycoon Simon de Pury fragt sich, ob man ein Bild lieben kann, dessen Schöpfer ein Scheusal ist. Jeff Koons durchlebt noch einmal seine Schlammschlachten mit der Pornodarstellerin Cicciolina. Peter Handke begründet, warum er Journalisten ohrfeigt. Und sein Lektor offenbart, wieso er Schriftsteller für Kotzbrocken hält. Der Leser erlebt eine ebenso lehrreiche wie hoch amüsante Bildungsreise zu Hirn, Herz und Unterleib der prägenden Figuren unserer Gegenwart.

    Stiller Schrecken
    Das schockierende Psychogramm eines SerienmördersMarty Plunkett war ein seltsamer Junge: ein Träumer - hochbegabt und eigenbrötlerisch. Doch im Kopf dieses Jungen ging Schreckliches vor ...

    The Wisdom of Finance: Discovering Humanity in the World of Risk and Return , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
    Finance is shrouded in mystery for outsiders, while many insiders are uneasy with the disrepute of their profession. How can finance become more accessible and also recover its nobility? Harvard Business School professor Mihir Desai takes up the cause of restoring humanity to finance. With deft wit, he draws upon a rich knowledge of literature, film, history, and philosophy to explain finance's inner workings. Through this creative approach, he shows that outsiders can easily access the underlying ideas and insiders can reacquaint themselves with the core values of their profession. This combination of finance and the humanities creates unusual and illuminating pairings: Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope are guides to risk management; Jeff Koons becomes an advocate of leverage; and Mel Brooks' The Producers teaches us about fiduciary responsibility. In Desai's vision, the principles of finance also provide answers to critical questions in our lives: bankruptcy teaches us how to react to failure, the lessons of mergers apply to marriages, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model demonstrates the true value of relationships. The Wisdom of Finance is a wholly unique book, offering an enlivening new perspective on one of the world's most complex and misunderstood professions. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mihir Desai.

    Ike's Mystery Man: The Secret Lives of Robert Cutler , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 986min
    This exhilarating Cold War narrative takes listeners from top-secret Cabinet Room meetings to exclusive social clubs, and into the pages of a powerful man's intimate diary. Ike's Mystery Man brings a new dimension to our understanding of the inner-workings of the Eisenhower White House. It also shines a bright light on the indispensable contributions and sacrifices made by patriotic gay Americans in an era when Executive Order 10450 banned anyone suspected of "sexual perversion", i.e. homosexuality, from any government job, and gays in the government were persecuted by the likes of Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn in the Senate and J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson at the FBI.Ike's Mystery Man tells how Eisenhower's National Security Advisor Robert "Bobby" Cutler - working alongside Ike and also the Dulles brothers at the CIA and State Department - shaped US Cold War strategy in far more consequential ways than has been previously understood. Bobby also left behind a six-volume diary which reveals that he was in love with a man half his age, NSC staffer Skip Koons. Their friend Steve Benedict, who also is gay, became Ike's White House Security Officer. In addition to Bobby's diary, Ike's Mystery Man relies on thousands of personal letters, interviews, and previously classified archives to tell a gripping story that has never before been told. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/012794/bk_blak_012794_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
