It might be her family's only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he's hunted Romanov before.Nastya's only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn't act like the average Bolshevik.

    Among Others , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 636min
    Startling, unusual, and yet irresistably readable, Among Others is at once the compelling story of a young woman struggling to escape a troubled childhood, a brilliant diary of first encounters with the great novels of modern fantasy and SF, and a spellbinding tale of escape from ancient enchantment. Raised by a half-mad mother who dabbled in magic, Morwenna Phelps found refuge in two worlds. As a child growing up in Wales, she played among the spirits who made their homes in industrial ruins. But her mind found freedom and promise in the science-fiction novels that were her closest companions. Then her mother tried to bend the spirits to dark ends, and Mori was forced to confront her in a magical battle that left her crippled - and her twin sister dead. Fleeing to her father, whom she barely knew, Mori was sent to boarding school in England - a place all but devoid of true magic. There, outcast and alone, she tempted fate by doing magic herself, in an attempt to find a circle of like-minded friends. But her magic also drew the attention of her mother, bringing about a reckoning that could no longer be put off. Combining elements of autobiography with flights of imagination in the manner of novels like Jonathan Lethem's The Fortress of Solitude, this is potentially a breakout book for an author whose genius has already been hailed by peers like Kelly Link, Sarah Weinman, and Ursula K. Le Guin. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katherine Kellgren. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/002541/bk_adbl_002541_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Summary & Analysis of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World | A Guide to the Book by David Epstein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
    PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book. In Range, author and journalist David Epstein exposes the fallacy behind the specialization myth and how society benefits more when people are generalists. It is those who seek broad experience in diverse fields that become innovative and creative problem-solvers ready to tackle problems that seem unfamiliar and complex.  What does this ZIP Reads Summary include? Synopsis of the original bookKey takeaways from each chapterExamples of successful generalistsWhy specialization only works in certain tasksHow to adopt the habits and thought patterns of generalistsEditorial ReviewBackground on David EpsteinAbout the Original Book:David Epstein challenges the well-known concept that in order to perform at the highest level, you must find your niche at an early age and train for hours. While it is true that some of the best athletes and musicians began learning their craft at an early age, for example, Tiger Woods, the majority of these great individuals were actually generalists. They started out in one field, dabbled in a bunch of others, and finally settled on their true calling. Epstein states that people shouldn’t be afraid of becoming generalists because the exposure will make them better abstract thinkers than narrow-minded specialists.

    Notorious Assassins: The Life of John Wilkes Booth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 107min
    Right or wrong. God judge me, not man. For be my motive good or bad, of one thing I am sure, the lasting condemnation of the North. (John Wilkes Booth) Before the night of April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors of his time; President Abraham Lincoln had even watched him perform. But his most significant performance at a theater did not take place on the stage. That night Booth became one of history's most infamous assassins when he shot President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC. Booth was a member of the prominent 19th-century Booth theatrical family from Maryland, and he was a well-known actor throughout much of the country by the 1860s. But Booth was also a Confederate sympathizer who dabbled in espionage, and he was increasingly outraged at the Lincoln administration. Although Robert E. Lee had surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox a few days earlier, an action often cited as the end of the Civil War, Booth believed the war was not yet over because Confederate soldiers under General Joseph E. Johnston were still fighting. The flamboyant actor hoped his conspiracy could strike the kind of blow that might turn the Confederacy's fate around. Early plans to kidnap and ransom President Lincoln ultimately gave way to a wide-ranging conspiracy by Booth and a small group to kill Lincoln and other top officials in a bid to decapitate the federal government and help the South. Perhaps not surprisingly, the actor's flair for the dramatic came at a cost to the plot. It took almost no time for the shocked public and the federal government to begin unraveling Booth's conspiracy, which had mostly faltered from the beginning. ungekürzt. Language: English.
