From Fort Henry to Corinth: Campaigns of the Civil War, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min
The Campaigns of the Civil War series was originally published by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1881-1883. A landmark of Civil War history, the series remains of keen interest to historians, re-enactors, and other Civil War enthusiasts for its detailed accounts of military and political affairs, as well as its portrayals of the soldiers and statesmen who waged the conflict. From Fort Henry to Corinth by M. F. Force is the second of 12 volumes in this series. Author, soldier and later Medal of Honor recipient Force offers a meticulously rendered accounting of several major battles that took place during the first months of 1862, describing in minute detail the strength and positioning of forces under Union and Confederate commanders and the tactics and strategies employed on the battlefield by Generals Grant, Johnston, Beauregard, Buell, Wallace, and others. Among the battles described in From Fort Henry to Corinth are the siege of Fort Donelson in Tennessee, where a then relatively obscure Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant earned the sobriquet “Unconditional Surrender” Grant, and the bloody carnage of Shiloh, where the south suffered the loss of General Albert Sidney Johnston and an ultimately devastating military defeat. ungekürzt.

Palmistry for the Beginner: Learn to Read Your Own Palms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
If you have a deep interest in learning about personality characteristics as well as the past and future of a person, learn to read palms. Palmistry has been around for centuries, and it is practiced in some form or the other in almost all parts of the world. Palmistry is also known as chiromancy. The word has been derived from the sobriquet of a pivotal figure in palm reading, Cheiro (real name: Irish William John Warner). Cheiro evaluated the person's character and gained insights about his future life just by reading the various lines and mounts of the palm, the shape and size of the hands and fingers, the texture and color of the skin, the flexibility of the hand, and various other features. Since then, palmistry has attracted millions of people around the world. Some learned to use it professionally; others just learned it for fun. So, are you interested in learning about palmistry, but have no idea where to start? If that's the case, the solution is right here. The study of palmistry is quite comprehensive, but here you will be able to learn where to begin, and which are the most important aspects that you need to consider. So, let's get started! ungekürzt.

Kitch: A Fictional Biography of a Calypso Icon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
This is voice-driven writing which explores how to tell a life with candour and verve. (Times Literary Supplement)Combining factual biography with the imaginative structure and investment in the language of the novel, Anthony Joseph fully engages with the world he recreates, and by presenting a multifaceted view from Kitch’s friends, rivals, and even enemies, he gets to the heart of the man behind the music and the myth, reaching behind the sobriquet to present a holistic portrait of the calypso icon Lord Kitchener.Born into colonial Trinidad in 1922 as Aldwyn Roberts, "Kitch" emerged in the 1950s, at the forefront of multicultural Britain, acting as an intermediary between the growing Caribbean community, the islands they had left behind, and the often hostile conditions of life in post-war Britain. In the process, Kitch, as he was affectionately called, single-handedly popularised the calypso in Britain, with recordings such as "London is the Place for Me", "The Underground Train" and "Ghana".Joseph spoke to Lord Kitchener just once, in 1984, when he found the calypso icon standing alone for a moment in Queen’s Park Savannah, one Carnival Monday afternoon. It was a pivotal meeting in which the great calypsonian outlined his musical vision, an event which forms a moving epilogue to Kitch, Joseph’s unique biography of the Grandmaster. ungekürzt.

Mark Twain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
Ernest Hemingway called Huckleberry Finn "the best book we've ever had. There was nothing before. There's been nothing as good since." Critical opinion of this book hasn't dimmed since Hemingway uttered these words. Mark Twain was the most famous American of his day, and remains in ours the most universally revered American writer. From Ken Burns, Geoffrey Ward, and Dayton Duncan (authors of Jazz, Lewis and Clark, Baseball and The Civil War) comes this audio companion to the PBS film of the same name. It pulls together material from a variety of published and unpublished sources. It examines not merely Twain's justly famous novels, stories, travelogues, and lectures, but also his diaries and letters. The authors take us from Samuel Langhorne Clemens' boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, to his time as a riverboat worker - when he adopted the sobriquet "Mark Twain." Twain believed that "The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven." This paradox fueled his hilarity and lay at the core of this irreverent yet profoundly serious author. With essays by Russell Banks, Jocelyn Chadwick, Ron Powers, and John Boyer, as well as an interview with actor and frequent Twain portrayer Hal Holbrook, this audio provides a full and rich portrayal of the first figure of American letters.Listen to a conversation with Ken Burns. ungekürzt.
