Alacrán, The Honey Badger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 357min
Deciding how best to introduce this audiobook was the most difficult part of the project. The story was already written for me in the form of a dispassionate diary. All I had to do was organize it, mix in some environmental trappings, sarcasm, a few jokes, send it to a proofreader and, with luck, I could pay the rent. On the way to the bank, an unamusing thing happened. I hadn't gotten through Chapter One before the truth hit me like a runaway Toyota. So I started leaving out what I didn't like and ended up with a few pages of environmental trappings, sarcasm, and some jokes. Bottom line: Cinderella did get her prince, but he started running with the wrong crowd, and she had to pay the price. Then, of course, Americans voted their fears and greed and elected and reelected Pinocchio. Still, I found the courage to continue after meeting up with five other travelers on the Yellow Brick Road. Sadly for all of us, it turned out there is no wizard, just Father Time, Mother Nature, and the NSA/CSS. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. Rodney Turner.

The History of the Siege of Lisbon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
If proofreaders were given their freedom and did not have their hands and feet tied by a mass of prohibitions more binding than the penal code, they would soon transform the face of the world, establish the kingdom of universal happiness, giving drink to the thirsty, food to the famished, peace to those who live in turmoil, joy to the sorrowful... for they would be able to do all these things simply by changing the words.... The power of the word is evident in Portuguese author José Saramago's novel, The History of the Siege of Lisbon. His protagonist, a proofreader named Raimundo Silva, adds a key word to a history of Portugal and thus rewrites not only the past, but also his own life. Brilliantly translated from the Portuguese by Giovanni Pontiero, The History of the Siege of Lisbon is a meditation on the differences between historiography, historical fiction, and "stories inserted into history". The novel is really two stories in one: the reimagined history of the 1147 siege of Lisbon that Raimundo feels compelled to write and the story of Raimundo's life, including his unexpected love affair with the editor, Maria Sara. In Saramago's masterful hands, the strands of this complex tale weave together to create a satisfying whole. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld.

Autobiography of a Modern Prophet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 833min
It's 1970. A dark Wisconsin night. A once-shy farm boy, now in his 20s, stands on a bridge over a river. He's left the farm, studied for the clergy, and done a stint in the air force. He's a proofreader now. He's seen faraway places, but tonight he's in Wisconsin overlooking the dark water. He's about to see the face of God, to become a God-realized man.From this momentous turning point, Harold Klemp's life would never be the same. His incredible experience that night was simply a prelude to a time of testing, humbling, cleansing, yet blessed experience with the light and sound of God. He would emerge as the spiritual leader and modern-day prophet of Eckankar.This is his spiritual autobiography. "This book," he says, "is about God-Realization and the myths that surround the highest state of spiritual realization known to mankind. The first and greatest illusion is that once God-Realization is attained, the battle for higher consciousness is forever won. This oversimplifies things...."The hard part came after God-Realization. Now I had to return to the problems of life and confront them. The specter of God's haunting love was always with me.... It carried me beyond the pleasant cooing of belief and faith, thrusting me into a brilliant world of light shorn of all illusion." If a shy Wisconsin farm boy can master his spiritual destiny, why can't we?According to Gallup, 82 percent of those polled in America alone want to experience spiritual growth. Believe it or not, it is your destiny to discover your godlike nature, your spiritual greatness."Tucked away in the hidden places of this book are clues as to how you too may reach the glories of God," says Klemp."Now come with me on my journey.""Autobiography of a Modern Prophet by Harold Klemp describes how he left the farm and enrolled in the high-school department of a Lutheran pre-ministerial college. During his senior year in high school - a p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rich Miller. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/211838/bk_acx0_211838_sample.mp3.

Tackling Spanish the Easy Way , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
I started learning Spanish relatively late in life: 33 years of age. However, since then, I have worked as a medical interpreter, proofreader, and conversational Spanish instructor, and I love reading El Pais, the Spanish equivalent of The New York Times, daily for its fresh European perspective. In this audiobook, I present the "core" knowledge necessary for basic mastery of Spanish conversation and learning. I also present my secret treasure trove of useful websites, garnered as a New York State-certified librarian, as well as the basic verb conjugations and common vocabulary that is essential to know if you are going to a Spanish-speaking country and want to be understood. I also share useful study techniques for learning Spanish from somebody who's done it later in life! This audiobook is primarily for the American student who may have failed at learning Spanish while in school. The good news is that it wasn't your fault. The American style of language education and acquisition does not work because the language does not become part of you. The emphasis in America on reading and writing Spanish dooms most language students to fail to learn the language. Babies do not learn to read and write before they learn to speak. It would be absurd to expect them to do that. However that is exactly what the educators in America expect of their students. No wonder they fail! Oral communication is key for language acquisition and retention. If you can speak the language, and Spanish is a phonetic language, you will be able to read and write well enough to get by in most situations. Although you will not be able to practice your speaking or listening skills with this book, I will give you some suggestions about how you go about doing acquiring the skills to succeed in Spanish. Also, I will go over extremely common vocabulary and phrases to give you the "core" skills you will need to talk to a Spanish-speaker. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johanna Oosterwyk.
