    The Mississippi Scheme: In Which a Scottish Adventurer Destroys the Economy of France: Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
    In the early 18th century, 80 years prior to revolution, France went wild for stocks and bonds. Mechanics dropped their tools and tradesmen closed their shops. There was but one profession, one employment, one occupation for persons of all ranks, from peasant to prince. And that profession was speculating in stocks. This is the story of the time one adventurous Scotsman played chance against an entire nation. That Scotsman was John Law, and historians are still divided in opinion as to whether they should call him a knave or a madman. Both epithets were unsparingly applied to him in his lifetime, but posterity has found reason to doubt the justice of the accusation; to confess that John Law was more deceived than deceiving, more sinned against than sinning. Posterity, however, has also found reason to uphold its first judgement and declare John Law to be a bankrupt, murderer, and outlaw, a gambler, cheat, and cardsharp, a flatterer, sycophant, and projector unmatched in the art of hyperbole. This is his story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: A Man with a Cat. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/097080/bk_acx0_097080_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Blessed Virgin Mary: A Catholic Guide to The Mother of God in Your Life, Hörbuch, Digital, 298min
    From the earliest days of the church, Mary has loomed large in traditions, doctrines, and devotions. Aside from Jesus Christ, more has been written about her than any other Christian figure. And yet much confusion about her role persists. Luckily, this audio series brings you just the guide to help demystify the mother of God: acclaimed spiritual director and retreat master Fr. Dan Crosby, OFM, Cap. Fr. Crosby delivers lively lectures that endow listeners with an inspiring and informative, fresh and faithful perspective on Mary. Nearly eight years in the making, this 12-lecture series is neither “pious chatter” nor “frilly theology”. It is born, rather, of his serious questions about Mary’s rightful place in Christian faith, his constant grappling with the “So what?” of effective preaching, and his insights into the importance that God desires Mary to have in our lives.As a person of faith, you’ve heard a number of epithets bestowed upon Saint Mary: mother of Jesus, blessed virgin, queen of heaven. But the title of this series illuminates the view of Mary that Fr. Crosby asks you to adopt: Mary, mirror of God.For Fr. Crosby, Mary is the perfect reflector of God. As he demonstrates through these compelling lectures, when you look at her, you behold not only her beauty and goodness, but also God’s beauty and goodness that shines so powerfully through her. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.     Language: English.

    Jewell: The Kings of Guardian, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
    Obsessive. Toxic. Ice Princess. Witch. Jewell King ignored the epithets slung at her behind her back. Hell, after six, or was it seven, personal security officers asked to be reassigned rather than continue to guard her 24/7, maybe she deserved the names. She didn't care. Good riddance. Well...the last one had kinda weaseled his way into her daily routine with his compulsive cleaning and insistence on health foods. When he left, she noticed and was...hurt. But that didn't matter. She had no time for emotions. Handling the information and data systems for Guardian required 28 hour days and triple her current staff. On her shoulders rested the weight of defending Guardian against a brilliant hacker determined to take down all billionaire David Xavier had built and destroy her family in the process. He'd tried before. She had frustrated his first attempt by the slimmest of margins. This time he’d made it personal and he just might succeed.Zane Reynolds waded through several weeks’ worth of empty energy drink cans, cast off candy wrappers, and stale pizza boxes, and viewed Jewell's office with a resigned sense of deja vu. He was back - against his will and despite his best efforts to stay as far away from Jewell as he could get. The fact she hated him would make Jewell a difficult assignment. He should walk away like all the others, except he couldn’t. He’d seen through the woman’s veneer and had witnessed the true kindness of the person hiding under the beautiful, yet caustic façade. This time, Zane had non-negotiable conditions before he'd agree to return as Jewell King's personal security, and he told the CEO of Guardian as much. This time, he was doing things his way.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Haynes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/192232/bk_acx0_192232_sample.mp3.

    Summary and Analysis of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 33min
    To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors, and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The story is told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism." As a Southern Gothic novel and a Bildungsroman, the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence. Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class, courage, compassion, and gender roles in the American Deep South. The book is widely taught in schools in the United States with lessons that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice. Despite its themes, To Kill a Mockingbird has been subject to campaigns for removal from public classrooms, often challenged for its use of racial epithets. Reaction to the novel varied widely upon publication. Despite the number of copies sold and its widespread use in education, literary analysis of it is sparse. Author Mary McDonough Murphy, who collected individual impressions of To Kill a Mockingbird by several authors and public figures, calls the book "an astonishing phenomenon". In 2006, British librarians ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one "every adult should read before they die ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Waters.

    Blood Soaked and Invaded: Blood Soaked, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 738min
    Zombies were bad enough, but now we're being invaded from all sides. Up to our necks in blood, body parts, and unanswerable questions….As soon as the realization hit me, I lost my cool. I curled into the fetal position in a pile of blood, offal, and body parts, and froze there. What in the Hell was I becoming that killing was entertaining and satisfying? I don't know how long I was on my side in the remains of my opponents, but the mess was coagulating and getting cold…to say nothing of the smell of sliced-open bowels. There were periodic noises suggesting violence around and about where I was glued to the ground by noxious goop, but I couldn't even raise my face to take a look around. My brain spun around and around, propelled by unanswered questions and abject horror. The person I thought I was - a guy who does what he has to do when the chips are down - had been replaced by someone I didn't know and it made me terribly afraid. "Frank." Bajali's voice came from behind me after a period of no screams, gunshots, epithets or scrambling feet. "Would you like me to help you get up?" "What have you done to us?" I asked him that because they were the only words I had. "I made us able to survive a world like this one." "Did you think about what it would cost us?" "No, my friend, I only thought to keep everyone alive. I had no time to debate morality."…."I'm not human," I asked, "am I?" "No, Frank. None of us are." "Am I still me?" His breath caught, and I felt the words moving around in his mind, stirring up a miasma of emotions before he said, "I am sorry. I do not know." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Stifel.
