    Sensual, macabre, joyous and liberating, The Flowers of Evil, or Les Fleurs du Mal, is a beautifully debauched reflection on dreams, sin, life, and death. With subjects ranging from travel to drugs, sex to faith, sleep to contemplation, Baudelaire finds new beauty in the most sinister and corrupt of situations. His morbid and nightmarish Romanticism was completely unique: cynical and bleak, but also inspiring, lifted by magnificent imagery and melodious language. The book was highly controversial upon its release and Napoleon III’s government prosecuted Baudelaire for "an insult to public decency"; six of the poems were banned until as recently as 1949. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.   ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Determined to make something of herself, Tulsey Winslow moves from a small farming town to a golf course community in the Mid-Atlantic region. Here, minivans and lattes reign supreme, and proper grass height seems to earn better rewards than human decency. When rumbles of deep discontent come from inside every household on Nacre Court, Tulsey becomes the neighborhood's secret confidant and the voice of reason that ultimately unites a community. Along the way, she battles some demons of her own. Echoes of Her is a tale of identity, what's missing in suburbia, and the costs of chasing the American Dream. It is also a story about love, compassion, and the little ways in which people can make a big difference. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Catherine O'Brien.

    Secrets is a tour de force that combines self-help, how-to, autobiography, and short stories to dig into such topics as entrepreneurship vs. employment, money management vs. money DIY, marketing and the soft sell, vacations and health, the payback for decency, and the virtues of Generous Free Enterprise vs. traditional free enterprise. The author bashes conventional wisdom and introduces new, more dynamic and effective ways to think and act: competitive supremacy™, not competitive advantage; customer collaboration™, not customer satisfaction; Intelliniche™, not branding; and the Big 4 Behaviors, not SOS, and more. Pete Geissler has shown the world that living large is within the grasp of everyone with passion and talent. Listen to this book, follow his lead, and prosper. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 1996 Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out his peculiar last wish: to have his ashes scattered into the sea at Margate. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them . . . On the surface a simple tale of an increasingly bizarre day's outing, this Booker-prize winning, internationally acclaimed novel is a resonant and classic exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives. Intensely local but overwhelmingly universal, faithful to the fleeting rhythms and accidental eloquence of everyday speech but also to the timeless truths of life and death, it succeeds in being comic and heartstopping, affectionate and wise, and in conferring on its stumbling, disappointed characters an enduring decency, dignity and depth. 'A surpassing testament to Swift's vibrant and powerful gifts' The Times 'A triumph . . . a story about the most fundamental things of all' Evening Standard

    If you believe children should be seduced into warped sexual behavior by the gay elite, if you think confessed murderers should be set free by defense attorneys who know how to wield the race card, if you feel promiscuous gay men should be empowered to spread AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, don’t read this book.But if you’ve always suspected that factions on the left are trying to destroy the values that define our civilization, this book proves it. Through the chapters of The Death of Right and Wrong, author, activist, and pundit Tammy Bruce takes you inside the chilling world of the left - a place where morals and decency have been turned on their heads and the crisp distinction between right and wrong has been blurred into a mushy, gray mess.In this world, the gay elite exploit our children - under the guise of tolerance and education - to satisfy their sexual obsessions.In this world, the Black elite laud convicted murderers as community heroes and award-winning “artists.”In this world, the feminist elite fawn over a woman who mercilessly killed all five of her children.And much more that will offend your sense of decency and threaten your basic values.Ms. Bruce smashes the facades of “tolerance,” “understanding,” and other leftist slogans to reveal the ugly truth of their agenda. As a gay activist and former president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization of Women, she witnessed firsthand the left’s attempts to undermine our millennia-old code of morals and values, aided by politically biased media and academia. And if the news headlines of today are any indication, they’re winning the culture war. Unless we act now, we are doomed at the hands of special interest groups on the left who want nothing more than to undermine our ability to judge right from wrong in order to foist their own selfish, anything-goes society on the rest of us.
