    Anthony Powell: Dancing to the Music of Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1006min
    The author of the award-winning Matisse: A Life gives us the definitive biography of writer Anthony Powell - and takes us deep into the heart of 20th-century London's literary life.Insightful, lively, and enthralling, this biography is as much a brilliant tapestry of a seminal era in London’s literary life as it is a revelation of an iconic literary figure. Best known for his 12-volume comic masterpiece, A Dance to the Music of Time, the prolific writer and critic Anthony Powell (1905-2000) kept company between the two world wars with rowdy, hard-up writers and painters - and painters’ models - in the London where Augustus John and Wyndham Lewis loomed large. He counted Evelyn Waugh and Henry Green among his lifelong friends, and his circle included the Sitwells, Graham Greene, George Orwell, Philip Larkin, and Kingsley Amis.Drawing on letters, diaries, and interviews, Hilary Spurling - herself a longtime friend of Powell’s as well as an award-winning biographer - has produced a fresh and powerful portrait of the man and his times. ungekürzt.

    Thomas Struth: Photographs 1978-2010 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min
    Once upon a time in Düsseldorf, in the 1970s, there was an astonishing art academy, the Kunstakademie, with amazing teachers, and amazing students. Düsseldorf was a very proud art city, and even published at the time, a book of photographs called Düsseldorf City of Artists. The presence of that great, messianic leader, Joseph Beuys loomed large. Gerhard Richter, (and Gotthard Graubner among others), taught painting, and an outstanding couple, Bernd and Hilla Becher, taught photography. Germany rejoined and even led the avant garde that it had destroyed in the 1930s. The Bechers' own work, photographed in black and white series anonymous, industrial architecture. Included in this broad ranging retrospective of over 30 years of Thomas Struth's photography, is his own early series of city topographies, mostly unpeopled streets in the silvery light of early morning, which were first initiated several years before he was aware of the Bechers' work: zeitgeist, anyone? Struth indeed, initially thought to be a painter, and studied with Gerhard Richter, but then moved laterally to join the Bechers' small student group. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Anna (eBook, ePUB)
    As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, the influential editor of the Evening Standard, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor in chief of Vogue, she never looked back.Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a job at a fashionable boutique in London - an experience that would be the first of many defeats. Undeterred, she found work in the competitive world of magazines, eventually moving to New York. Before long, Anna's journey to Vogue became a battle to ascend, no matter who or what stood in her way. Once she was crowned editor in chief - in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine history - she continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all of Condé Nast.Based on extensive interviews with Anna Wintour's closest friends and collaborators, including some of the biggest names in fashion, journalist Amy Odell has crafted the most revealing portrait of Wintour ever published. Weaving Anna's personal story into a larger narrative about the hierarchical dynamics of the fashion industry and the complex world of Condé Nast, Anna charts the relentless ambition of the woman who would become an icon.

    America's Alien Invasion: The Lost UFO Encounters, Hörbuch, Digital, 60min
    Most Americans have no idea that the White House was swarmed by UFOs not once but TWICE, once in 1952 and again in 1963. A massive UFO silently loomed over the huge Los Angeles Basin near the coast and was fired on for HOURS by US military forces leaving millions in damages and the loss of human life. No ship was retrieved only stalactite metals that could very well have been debris from an alien spacecraft from another world or dimension as top experts in quantum mechanics have proposed. These and other incidents have occurred in our recent past yet they are not common knowledge and are often shrugged off as fantasy or delusion. Explore the most astonishing and important UFO incidents of all time, the incidents that are of such enormous importance to national security that the world's leaders would have most certainly been informed. They KNOW that aliens are here, they have most likely known since the Aurora incident of 1892. Explore this phenomenon that is destined to impact our society, our world structure, our very being - WE ARE NOT ALONE. Language: English. Narrator: Stan Gordon, William Konkolesky, David Twitchell.

    When Britain Saved the West: The Story of 1940 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 798min
    From the comfortable distance of seven decades, it is quite easy to view the victory of the Allies over Hitler's Germany as inevitable. But in 1940 Great Britain's defeat loomed perilously close, and no other nation stepped up to confront the Nazi threat. In this cogently argued book, Robin Prior delves into the documents of the time - war diaries, combat reports, Home Security's daily files, and much more - to uncover how Britain endured a year of menacing crises. The book reassesses key events of 1940 - crises that were recognized as such at the time and others that were not fully appreciated. Prior examines Neville Chamberlain's government, Churchill's opponents, the collapse of France, the Battle of Britain, and the Blitz. He looks critically at the position of the United States before Pearl Harbor and at Roosevelt's response to the crisis. Prior concludes that the nation was saved through a combination of political leadership, British Expeditionary Force determination and skill, Royal Air Force and Navy efforts to return soldiers to the homeland, and the determination of the people to fight on "in spite of all terror." ungekürzt.

    Beautiful Queen Inos married the loyal stableboy Rap and made him her king. They were very much in love, and they lived happily ever after. Fifteen years went by. Rap and Inos were comfortable, secure, and truly happy, raising their family in the little backwater kingdom of Krasnegar, well removed from the hurly-burly of great affairs.... But in far-off Hub, the old Imperor's health - and, some said, his sanity - deteriorated inexorably. The borderlands were seething, Prince Emshandar - or Shandie, as Rap knew him - found himself leading his grandfather's armies into terrible battles where victory and justice hung in gravest doubt. And now the end of the millennium was at hand, ushered in by prophecies of cataclysmic upheaval on a scale never before imagined. All across Pandemia, sensible people tried to dismiss a growing sense of unease as superstitious nonsense. Then a God appeared to Rap and warned him that the prophecies spoke the least of the truth. Devastation was a certainty; total destruction loomed. The very fabric of the world was at risk. And it was all Rap's fault. The lasting in the world Rap had wanted was another adventure. And it might be the last thing he would ever get. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mil Nicholson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/005462/bk_adbl_005462_sample.mp3.
