    That stammer. Those basset-hound eyes. That bone-dry wit. There has never been another comedian like Bob Newhart. In this, his first audiobook ever, Newhart gives us his brilliant and bemused twist on a multitude of topics, including flying, the trials of a family holiday in a Winnebago, and more serious subjects, such as golf. And, of course, there are side-splittingly funny stories from his life and career. Who else has a drinking game named after him? ("Hi, Bob!") This isn't a memoir like most memoirs. It's an audiobook only Bob Newhart could have conceived, with his unique worldview and irrepressibly wry humor. Oh, and there's a fair bit of plain silliness, too. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Newhart. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hype/000044/bk_hype_000044_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Penguin presents the audiobook edition of George VI: The Dutiful King by Philip Ziegler, read by Charlie Anson.  If Ethelred was notoriously 'Unready' and Alfred 'Great', King George VI should bear the designation of 'George the Dutiful'. Throughout his life he dedicated himself to the pursuit of what he thought he ought to be doing rather than what he wanted to do. Inarticulate and loathing any sort of public appearances, he accepted that it was his destiny to figure regularly and conspicuously in the public eye, gritted his teeth, largely conquered his crippling stammer and got on with it. He was not born to be king, but he made an admirable one and was the figurehead of the nation at the time of its greatest trial, during the Second World War.  This is a sparklingly brilliant and enjoyable book about him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlie Anson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/pauk/001682/bk_pauk_001682_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature.Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice books - with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al. - by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children’s literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history.Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up - or down, or all turned round - as seen through the expert eyes of a child. ungekürzt.

    Die Überfälle auf die Kloster Hagenrode und Ballenstedt durch einen Haufen aufständischer Bauern sind historisch belegt. Es gibt einen Brief aus dem Frühsommer des Jahres 1525, in dem Fürst Wolfgang von Anhalt seinen Nachbarn, Graf Botho von Stolberg, um Gnade bittet für die Harzgeröder, die an den Überfällen beteiligt waren. Auch zahlreiche der Romanfiguren könnten wirklich damals gelebt haben. Aber Geschichte und Geschichten mischen sich in diesem Roman, in dem Harzgeröder in die Ereignisse im Bauernkrieg am Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts hineingerissen werden. Konrad Stammer tötet einen Mörder und wird deshalb verfolgt. Sein Neffe Hans Tauber befreit eine schöne Hexe und sieht hilflos zu, wie sein Stiefvater ermordet wird. Beide stehen mit Thomas Müntzer in den Bauernhaufen, die in Frankenhausen niedergemetzelt werden. Maik Hauf lässt uns daran teilhaben, wie sie gelebt haben und warum sie so handelten.

    A gripping BBC Radio 4 drama about King George VI's struggle to overcome his stammer and his close working relationship with his speech therapist. It is Coronation Day, 1937. As the country celebrates, the new monarch must face one of the most difficult challenges he has ever encountered: the dreaded BBC Radio Broadcast to the Nation. Only one man can prepare the terrified King for his ordeal at the microphone - Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. With his unconventional methods such as tongue-twisters, breathing exercises and Shakespearean quotations, and a variety of teaching styles ranging from empathy to bullying, Logue aims to give George VI the confidence to navigate the minefield ahead. As the two men wrestle with the intricacies of the speech, their conversation ranges from the Abdication Crisis to the King's childhood and his uneasy relationship with his father - and the King's dependence on and deep friendship with Logue becomes apparent. Starring Alex Jennings as George VI and Trevor Littledale as Logue, this is a riveting portrait of a prominent man at a pivotal moment in his own life and in the history of the 20th century. ungekürzt.
