Ages of Man: Readings from Shakespeare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
The seven ages are: infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, pantaloon, and second childishness, all read by Sir John Gielgud. The speech about the seven ages of man happens in As You Like It. The words are spoken by the character Jaques in Act 2, Scene 7: 'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress, eyebrow. Then, a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange, eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.' ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Phases of Harry Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
Harry Moon romps through time right into your heart in this baroque and bawdy, delicious and daring, sexy and sinful contemporary-historical novel.Journey from then to now with the Moon brothers: Nicki, who was born to be a gangster and loves activities such as breaking kneecaps; Stu, who adores women's clothing - so much so, in fact, that he wears dresses whenever possible; Stanley, who likes stimulants, depressants, and any other drug he can get hold of; and, finally, Harry, one of the greatest heroes since Don Quixote saw his first windmill.This perfectly paced blending of comedy and drama is a novel that reaches to the heart of life itself. Four eccentric brothers move toward four parallel fates that echo the destinies of four eccentric ancestors. On the way they encounter sexual blackmail, petty crime, political radicalism, space-age illness, and last but ever so much more than least, maturation and purpose - disguised and hard to recognize to be sure, but theirs all the same.The Phases of Harry Moon is violent and tender, inspired and earthy, and Harry himself is one of the most endearing, mad, and moving characters of fiction in the last decade. Harry Moon is a hero for everyone, and his world is our world - full of laughter and sighing and the bright if tenuous light of understanding."One is convinced that an outsize performer is trying his wings - a John Barth or a John Irving, with a touch of William Gaddis and maybe a dash of Kurt Vonnegut Jr." (The Chicago Tribune)"...a joy to read."

Tweet of the Day: A Year of Britain's Birds from the Acclaimed Radio 4 Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 772min
Imagine a jazz musician, improvising on a theme. Then imagine that he is able to play half a dozen instruments - not one after another, but almost simultaneously, switching effortlessly between instruments and musical styles with hardly a pause for breath. If you can countenance that, you are halfway towards appreciating the extraordinary song of the nightingale.... Wherever we are, there are birds. And wherever there are birds, there is birdsong. It's always a pleasure (and a relief) to hear sounds that prove the world's still spinning: whether it's the sighing of migrating redwings on a damp October night, the twitter of swallows fresh in from South Africa in April, or the call of the cuckoo in May. Based on the scripts of BBC Radio 4's beloved year-long series, and distilling two lifetimes' knowledge, insight, and enthusiasm into this recording, Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss take you month by month through the year, and the changing lives of our favourite birds. From peregrines swapping sea-cliffs for skyscrapers to swifts spending almost their entire lives on the wing; from charms of goldfinches to murmurations of starlings; from ptarmigans thriving in the Highland snow to the bright-green parakeets thronging London's parks; this audiobook is packed full of extraordinary insights and memorable facts. Tweet of the Day is a book for everyone who loves Britain's birds, and this audiobook contains over 150 birdsong recordings to bring them to life. Produced by arrangement with the BBC. Birdsong recordings copyright Geoff Sample and Wildsong. This is the audio version of the expanded book of Tweet of the Day read by the authors, not the radio series itself. This audio book contains 193 birdsong recordings. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brett Westwood, Stephen Moss.
