    The Christmas Kilt: A Christmas Central Romantic Comedy, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 155min
    One kilt, two people meant to be together, and a dozen complications equal a Christmas fiasco in the making. No matter how Santa Claus tries to crunch the numbers, he can’t make them add up to equal a love match between museum curators Jack Lantz and Kirsten Nichols. The two lonely hearts are perfect for each other but they’re also too caught up in a race to acquire an antique kilt to notice their chemistry. Santa, however, is convinced that the two make an ideal couple. Perhaps adding a handful of North Pole elves and a pinch of holiday magic to the situation will help the course of true love run smooth?What ensues is a romantic romp that begins in Scotland and ends at the North Pole, and begs this question: Will Kirsten and Jack discover the kilt’s location? Or will they find true love along the way? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Helena Little. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/201777/bk_acx0_201777_sample.mp3.

    Figurative Painting: Confronting the Crisis: Studies in World Art, Book 119 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
    This exhibition, based on a single, very personal and - dare one say it? - extremely distinguished private collection, tackles a large subject within a relatively small compass. It aims to examine a now universally recognized crisis, which is what is happening to painting as an art form. Quite a large number of critics and curators have, in recent years, proclaimed that painting is dead: that attention must now be paid to other kinds of art - to video, to installations, to art works that are purely conceptual, to the ready-mades that only become art when they are placed in a particular context, in a museum, for example, or a Kunsthalle. Indeed, so much intellectual capital has now been invested in theories of this kind that it has sometimes been difficult for supporters of painting to get a hearing. When they do get a chance to speak, it is often evident that they are confused. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Van Riper.
