    Silas Marner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    Framed for a theft he didn’t commit and expelled from the church which has been his life, Silas Marner, the weaver, exiles himself to the remote rural village of Raveloe to bury himself in making money with his loom. The arrival of a golden-haired orphan toddler at his door, however, drags the recluse back into the world and away from his obsession with his hoard. This astonishingly beautiful tale of the importance of human relationships in the redemption of man is set in George Eliot's home county of Warwickshire and is filled with her own knowledge and affectionate dissection of the rural life she witnessed there. The dissenting church that Silas rejects so totally following the failure of his god to prove his innocence can be seen to mirror the dogma that Eliot herself rejected so fiercely in her own life. Having been a devout follower of a highly evangelical Christianity gleaned from her school days, as Eliot matured she left the self-repression of her youth behind and adopted a firm agnosticism, which she maintained until her death. Like her other novels, Silas Marner was not written until the writer was in her 40s (it was published in 1861), and the gentle rationalism that runs through the book and its belief in the remedial power of what Eliot called 'pure, natural human relations' create one of the most uplifting and positive of Eliot's works. ungekürzt.

    True Crime Serial Killers: True Stories of Flesh Eating Cannibals: Killers of the Hungry Kind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
    Have you ever had to ask yourself what the meat that you were eating really was? What if it was human flesh? What if instead of serving you that side of pork your friend promised, you were instead served a side of human arm? It sounds pretty disgusting, however, this is the most basic description of cannibalism. Cannibalism is the eating of human flesh, sometimes cooked, sometimes raw, sometimes after the person is dead and sometimes while they are still alive. There were civilizations of the past where it was accepted for people to ingest the flesh as well as the blood of other humans, and archaeologists have proven that the act of cannibalism can be traced back to the Paleolithic Era. Kind of makes, you wonder if you really want to continue on with that Paleo diet, doesn't it? Today, the act of cannibalism is not something that is accepted, in fact, it is considered dark, evil and one of the worst crimes a person could commit. In this book, you will hear the stories of not only murderers but of those who took their sadistic act seven further, butchering the people, they killed and ingesting them. These are the stories of some of the most vicious murders and acts of torture that have ever taken place. Murderers who toyed with their victims, and finally served them up with a side of crazy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ryan Sitzberger.

    True Crime Stories: Volume 3: 12 Terrifying True Crime Murder Cases , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min
    What drives people to act in the most brutal ways? What could have caused a mother to eat her dead baby's brain? What drove a seemingly normal teenager to kill a stranger and chew on their face? It is often difficult to comprehend what makes a person kill. But when they kill and then commit further acts of depravity on their victim, it gives a whole new meaning to wrongdoing. In volume three of the True Crime Stories series, we examine murderers who have all displayed the same gut-churning, wicked twist - each of them ate their victims. In Volume 3, we look at people such as: The hitchhiking hippie who carried human finger bones to chew on The New York teacher who killed a neighborhood boy and ate his body parts The Kansas City youth who became known as the Kansas City Vampire The deeply troubled man who cooked and ate his girlfriend after she dropped him The 450-pound cannibal who served his victim's flesh to customers of his barbecue stand And others who were equally despicable.... Each of these violent killers is examined in detail, from their backgrounds, the crimes they committed, how they were brought to justice, and their sentencing. Get a copy of this fascinating audiobook today and prepare yourself to enter the world of those who committed the greatest taboo of all - the cannibal killers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    47 Ronin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    For those looking for the real story behind the fictionalized movie account of the 47 Ronin story, this is the definitive, fascinating account of this unforgettable tale of a band of samurai who defied the Emperor to avenge the disgrace and death of their master, and faced certain death as a result. It led to one of the bloodiest episodes in Japanese history, and in the process, created a new set of heroes in Japan. In 1701, young Lord Asano is goaded into attacking a corrupt official at the Japanese Court. Although the wound Asano inflicts is minimal, the Emperor's punishment is harsh: Lord Asano is ordered to commit seppuku, or ritual suicide. His lands are confiscated and his family is dishonored and exiled. His samurai retainers now become ronin, or masterless, and are dispersed. These ronin are not trusted by their enemies and live under the watchful eyes of spies for months. They appear to adapt to their new circumstances by becoming tradesmen and teachers. But the ronin only seem to accept their fate. They are in fact making careful plans for revenge, biding their time until the moment to strike is right! Their deeds became Japan's most celebrated example of bravery, cunning, and loyalty in an age when samurai were heroes, and honor was worth dying for. John Allyn's masterful retelling of 47 Ronin has long been considered the definitive version of these dramatic historical events. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Shih.

    The ability to manipulate matter to one's own will has long been a quest of many searchers in history. From alchemy to witchcraft and the great wizards of myth, we have been led to believe that this notion is fanciful at best. But what about those who claimed to know the truth about the occult - Eliphas Levi, Aleister Crowley, and Madame Blavatsky, to name a few? A hidden world that resides next to our own but is inaccessible to most. Sensationalized by alleged sacrifices, orgies, and even Satanic rituals, in truth these were the intrepid, those who dared to commit themselves to the supernatural, the real paranormal world. It was into this dark and fascinating world that the masters of magic peered and brought back with them knowledge unattainable by other means. In this program we will stare into the mirror of magic and discover the ancient wisdom that has come down to us through myth, legend, and secret societies. Hidden beneath symbols and in fables and cloaked in cipher, we will unlock these mysteries with the use of modern science and the darkness of our own unconscious. We will explore the mystical world, the magical world, the strange and wonderful, and place them before our own modern mirror of today. Real, absolute magic will unlock for us the very secrets of the universe that modern scientists spend billions trying to discover. There is no battle between science and magic. There is only absolute magic. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Gardiner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/real/000416/rt_real_000416_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
