    Liam Gallagher: As It Was, 1 DVD
    Für die einen ist Liam Gallagher einer der größten Rockstars der Musikgeschichte und Stilikone einer ganzen Generation, für die anderen nur ein pöbelnder Prolet aus Manchester. Mit seiner Band Oasis macht er in den 1990er Jahren den Britpop populär und erobert mit Hits wie "Wonderwall" und "Don't Look Back in Anger" die Musikarenen und Fußballstadien der Welt. Legendär sind aber nicht nur die unnachahmlich vorgetragenen Songs, sondern auch seine Wutausbrüche und die öffentlich ausgeführte Hassliebe zu Bruder Noel, die letztlich zur Auflösung der Band im Jahr 2009 führt. Mit der Nachfolgeband Beady Eye kann Liam nicht an frühere Erfolge anknüpfen, in den Schlagzeilen landet er nur noch mit Alkoholexzessen, Rechtsstreitigkeiten und Beziehungsquerelen. Ein Musiker, der sich selbst als "godlike" versteht, erlebt, wie sein Ruhm allmählich verblasst. In ihrem Dokumentarfilm haben Charlie Lightening und Gavin Fitzgerald den extrovertierten Künstler über mehrere Jahre begleitet - und zeigen ihn auf dem Weg zu einem fulminanten Comeback, das Liam mit den Solo-Alben "As You Were" (2017) und "Why Me? Why Not" (2019) schließlich zurück an die Spitze der britischen Charts führt. Offen und ungeschönt erzählt der Musiker dabei seine Sicht der Dinge. Exklusive Archivaufnahmen und neue Interviews mit Weggefährten und Familienmitgliedern gewähren tiefe Einblicke in Liams Leben als Musiker und Privatmensch. So wird "Liam Gallagher: As It Was" zu einem vielschichtigen, intimen Porträt eines ungebändigten Künstlers, der nach einem Jahrzehnt des Ringens zu alter musikalischen Form zurückfindet.

    Dear Mr Bigelow: A Transatlantic Friendship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min
    Dear Mr Bigelow is an enchanting selection of weekly 'pen-pal' letters written between 1949 and 1961 from an unmarried woman working at the Pier Approach Baths in Bournemouth, to a wealthy American widower, living on Long Island, New York. Frances Woodsford and Commodore Paul Bigelow never met, and there was no romance - she was in her forties when he died aged ninety-seven - yet their epistolary friendship was her lifeline. The 'Saturday Specials' as Frances dubbed them, are brilliantly-packed missives, sparked with comic genius, from post-war England. We follow her travails at the Baths (and her ghastly boss Mr Bond); the hilarious weekly Civil Defence classes as the Cold War advances; her attempts to shake off Dr Russell, an unwanted suitor; life at home with Mother, and Mac, her charming ne'er-do-well brother; and escapades in their jointly-owned car, a 1934 Ford 8 called Hesperus. Most importantly, we get to know Frances - and her deep affection for Mr Bigelow. She started to write to him as a way of thanking his daughter for the clothes and food parcels she sent. But what had begun as a good turn offered Frances the chance to escape a trying job, and to expound with elegance, wit and verve on topical subjects from home and abroad, bringing us a beady commentary on her life and times that leaps vividly from the page. Her letters to Mr Bigelow during his final illness are a tender and moving farewell, a touching conclusion to a unique record. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patience Tomlinson.

    The Dark Side of the Mirror: The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet Mystery Series, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    Twins run in families, or so it has been known. The Fentiman family have their fair share of twins, past and present. Robespierre and Danton Fentiman, identical in appearance, but not in personality, were hanged for two different murders back in 1937. Their ghosts appear to Robespierre's twin sons, Carl and Basil, nearly 20 years later, asserting that their convictions were wrong and asking them to rectify two miscarriages of justice. Carl asks his local vicar, Bernard Paltoquet of St Stephen's Church, Wandsworth, for help and he in turn seeks the help of an experienced clairvoyant. His close friend, Dorothy Plunkett, is still away in Exeter looking after her ailing father, so she sends him Anbolin Amery-Judge in her stead. What follows is the unravelling of two 20-year-old mysteries, culminating in wrongs being righted, with many a misunderstanding along the way. Bernard's friend, Dr Robbie MacTavish, is along for the ride, although he is distracted by a romantic entanglement with a much younger woman, much to the disapproval of the Reverend Paltoquet. Meanwhile Mrs Harper, Bernard's faithful housekeeper, keeps her beady eye on both men, ever ready with a caustic comment or a fondant fancy, as occasion demands. Listeners who have heard and enjoyed other novels in this series will easily recognise the characters and their foibles as they take the journey with them through the twists and turns of a plot that moves backwards and forwards from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. ungekürzt.

    Silvermane: A Western Quartet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 363min
    From beloved author Zane Grey come four thrilling tales of the West. The very essence of the American West can be found in the stories of Zane Grey, an author whose popularity has not flagged since his first novel was published. "Silvermane" is concerned with the efforts of two Mormon mustangers, brothers Lee and Cuth Stewart, to capture a wild stallion in the Sevier range country. "Tappan's Burro", with the text restored from the author's handwritten manuscript, tells of the life of a desert prospector and his burro, Jenet. Tappan dreams of finding gold - and does. When he is pursued by claim jumpers, it is Jenet who guides him across the floor of Death Valley when it is beset by suffocating gales of nocturnal heat and gas. "Cañon Walls", also restored according to the author's holographic manuscript, is the story of outlaw Smoke Bellew, who enters a remote Mormon settlement only a jump ahead of a posse. Finding employment as a ranch hand working for a dowager Mormon, Smoke is able to make her ranch a financial success while simultaneously falling in love with her wanton daughter, Rebecca. But it is too good to last. "From Missouri", its text restored as well, is a story about a schoolteacher from the East who is discouraged from coming to Arizona Territory by letters forged by three cowhands. But the mysterious Frank Owens' love letters convince her she must come anyway. When Jane Stacey does arrive, to the amazement of the three cowhands, she is not the middle-aged matron they had expected but a young and very attractive woman. However, the lecherous Beady Jones has his own idea of how the new schoolmarm should be introduced to the West. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Traber Burns.

    The Devil's Name: We All Fight Demons; One Man Fought the Devil Himself. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    There was once a man who chose to confront his demons. Not the demons we speak of today - you know, merely used as metaphor and symbolism for our personal struggles - but real demons: short little things with small horns, beady eyes, and the worst trait of all - a bad attitude.He’d been fighting these demons for years, and, just like the way our emotions can wrap and twist and build houses, laying foundations within our minds, so, too, had these demons invaded and claimed territory and set up camp within this mans interior. And, you know how it goes when something invades and sets up camp, like a queen bee digging a hole; the first one breeds the second, then the third, until there is a whole multitude present. A chain of command is established, and though there are hundreds, no, thousands of these diabolical characters swarming about, the leader is the one in charge and, therefore, the one who does all the talking. This man had been living tormented day and night by these pesky things and their leader, who shall remain nameless. Why? Because the man did not know it’s name. It would never say. But it knew his, and it would talk to him day and night; pestering him with its opinions, draining him of life as it lived off the energy he spent distracted with its words, trying to silence its voice.At first, the man prayed, cried, fasted, pleading with God to have this thing removed. There was no answer. Heaven was silent.Why?Because heaven didn’t know who was bothering him, for the man did not know the devil’s name.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ronnie J. Herrema.

    Warriors: Extraordinary Tales from the Battlefield , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 953min
    With an introduction read by Max Hastings. An exhilarating and uplifting account of the lives of 16 ‘warriors’ from the last three centuries, hand-picked for their bravery or extraordinary military experience by the eminent military historian, author and ex-editor of the Daily Telegraph, Sir Max Hastings. Over the course of 40 years of writing about war, Max Hastings has grown fascinated by outstanding deeds of derring-do on the battlefield (land, sea, or air) - and by their practitioners. He takes as his examples 16 people from different nationalities in modern history - including Napoleon’s ‘blessed fool’ Baron Marcellin de Marbot (the model for Conan Doyle’s Brigadier Gerard); Sir Harry Smith, whose Spanish wife, Juana, became his military companion on many a campaign in the early 19th century; Lieutenant John Chard, an unassuming engineer who became the hero of Rorke’s Drift in the Zulu wars; and Squadron Leader Guy Gibson, the ‘dam buster’ whose heroism in the skies of World War II earned him the nation's admiration, but few friends. Every army, in order to prevail on the battlefield, needs a certain number of people capable of courage beyond the norm. In this book Max Hastings investigates what this norm might be – and how it has changed over the centuries. While celebrating feats of outstanding valour, he also throws a beady eye over the awarding of medals for gallantry - and why it is that so often the most successful warriors rarely make the grade as leaders of men. Max Hastings studied at Charterhouse and Oxford and became a foreign correspondent, reporting from more than 60 countries and 11 wars for BBC TV and the London Evening Standard. He has won many awards for his journalism. Among his best-selling books, Bomber Command won the Somerset Maugham Prize, and both Overlord and Battle for the Falklands won the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year Prize.
