Intertwining tales of the masters with reflections on his own apprenticeship in the samurai's arts, he reveals in their time-honored methods a way of life with profound relevance to modern times. The result is a fascinating, singular autobiography. Lowry captures the sense of wonder and mystery that makes martial arts compelling to so many practitioners.

    The Leopard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
    Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time. Although Giuseppe di Lampedusa had long had the book in mind, he began writing it only in his late 50s; he died at age 60, soon after the manuscript was rejected as unpublishable. Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini.

    The Modern Scholar: Rediscovering Shakespeare - The Tragedies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 298min

    The House of the Seven Gables , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 657min
    In a sleepy, little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house. This brooding mansion is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts the shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four members of the distinctive Pyncheon family. Mysterious deaths threaten the living. Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family’s salvation - or its downfall.Hawthorne called The House of the Seven Gables a “romance” and freely bestowed upon it many fascinating Gothic touches. A brilliant intertwining of the popular, the symbolic, and the historical, the story is a powerful exploration of personal and national guilt, a work that Henry James declared “the closest approach we are likely to have to the great American novel". ungekürzt.

    The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min
    In this groundbreaking work, Kwame Anthony Appiah, hailed as "one of the most relevant philosophers today" (New York Times Book Review), changes the way we understand human behavior and the way social reform is brought about. In brilliantly arguing that new democratic movements over the last century have not been driven by legislation from above, Appiah explores the end of the duel in aristocratic England, the tumultuous struggles over foot binding in 19th-century China, the uprising of ordinary people against Atlantic slavery, and the horrors of "honor killing" in contemporary Pakistan. Intertwining philosophy and historical narrative, he has created "a fascinating study of moral evolution" (Philadelphia Inquirer) that demonstrates the critical role honor plays a in the struggle against man's inhumanity to man. ungekürzt.
