Le Grand Meaulnes: The Wanderer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 417min
Le Grand Meaulnes is one of the great classics of French literature, a mysterious, even impressionistic tale of adolescence in the French countryside in the dying years of the 19th century. A teenager, Agustin Meaulnes, arrives in a country school, and his strong personality immediately affects its rural atmosphere, especially in the eyes of his younger school companion, the 15 year old François. He is dubbed 'le grand Meaulnes', and he lives up to his reputation by going missing for a few days. He says little about his adventure on his return. But François eventually discovers that Meaulnes stumbled upon a strange party held at an unknown chateau, and became enmeshed in the lives of the beautiful young Yvonne de Galais and her brother Frantz. Love, confusion, the urgency of young passion propels these three along unpredictable paths, observed anxiously by François, who desperately wants to help solve and resolve the mysteries. But Meaulnes and Frantz are driven by their own emotions along a trajectory which is anything but simple and straight. Le Grand Meaulnes, regarded by John Fowles as 'the greatest novel of adolescence in European literature' has cast a remarkable spell on successive many generations. In turn elliptical, impressionist, hopeful, haunting, Le Grand Meaulnes made an immediate impression on the French public when it was first published in 1913 (a year before its author died in the First World War) and swiftly gained a permanent place in European literature. The translation by Françoise Delisle has been revised for this recording. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Hollingworth.

The Best of Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, September-November 2003 (Unabridged Selections): Joe Haldeman and Others, Hörbuch, Digital, 485min
This audio presentation of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction is a super-duper triple issue, comprised ten key selections (most of the contents, actually) of FSF's September issue and the forthcoming double October/November issue. First, beginning with the five words, "Eventually it came to pass..." we have "Four Short Novels," a literary and performance tour de force by Joe Haldeman, which explodes Proust, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Samuel Butler. Then John Morressy plumbs even earlier classical dimensions through the eyes and voice of Daedalus in "The Artificer's Tale." "Hunter's Lake" by Gene Wolfe is a classic horror story in which dreams and reality merge and re-emerge from the depths of tragedy. In "The Census Taker" Dale Bailey, takes us into a very scary southern backwater, where untold secrets lurk. "The Navatar," as conceived by Jerry Oltion, is a very special AI indeed whose career, journeys and relationships are narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Terry Bisson's "Almost Home" tells of three young friends in a blissful, truly American summer, taking us across the borders of discovery and past death itself. Richard Paul Russo's "Tropical Night's at the Natatorium," dramatically explores issues of poverty and privilege, social responsibility and revolution. "Like Minds" by Robert Reed is a disturbing, impressionistic study in shifting realities which truly defies description. In "The Only Known Jump Across Time," Eugene Mirabelli creates a colorful and wistfully nostalgic vision of Cambridge, Massachusetts in the 1920s. Finally, in Esther M. Friesner's "I Killed Them In Vegas," Harlan Ellison gleefully portrays Kris Spiridion, an irrepressible stand-up comic with "a little problem. Language: English.

Forever Saul Leiter
A new collection of Saul Leiter's work, much of it published here for the first time.Saul Leiter remained relatively unsung until he was rediscovered by curators and critics in his early 80s, and his work has been drastically re-evaluated over the last two decades. Leiter's painterly images evoked the flow and rhythm of life on the mid-century streets of New York in luminous colour, at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in black and white. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. In recent years, Leiter has been in the spotlight more and more with a series of exhibitions and publications. His studio in New York's East Village, where he had lived since 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation. The foundation has begun a full-scale survey and organization of his more than 80,000 works, with the aim of compiling the 'complete' archive. This volume contains works discovered through this process, valuable documents that reveal the secrets of Saul Leiter's creation, unpublished works, popular colour works and black-and-white works that have not been published so far, as well as works that trace the memories of those closest to him taken in private. As Saul Leiter said, 'Photographs are often treated as capturing important moments, but they are really small fragments and memories of the world that never ends.' This is Forever Saul Leiter.- Shop: buecher

Near to the Wild Heart (eBook, ePUB)
Clarice Lispector's sensational, prize-winning debut novel Near to the Wild Heart was published when she was just twenty-three and earned her the name 'Hurricane Clarice'. It tells the story of Joana, from her wild, creative childhood, as the 'little egg' who writes poems for her father, through her marriage to the faithless Otávio and on to her decision to make her own way in the world. As Joana, endlessly mutable, moves through different emotional states, different inner lives and different truths, this impressionistic, dreamlike and fiercely intelligent novel asks if any of us ever really know who we are.Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America. She was born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and eventually sailed to Brazil. In 1933, Clarice Lispector encountered Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf, which convinced her that she was meant to write. She published her first novel, Near to the Wildheart in 1943 when she was just twenty-three, and the next year was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. After living variously in Italy, the UK, Switzerland and the US, in 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil where she wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel, The Hour of the Star.- Shop: buecher

Sunrise Vol. 1
Pt. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO : SUNRISE (vol 1) This album presents three selections typifying the quintessentially symbiotic relationship between the genius of Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao and his art form. All three performances are rooted in the natural metaphor of a rising sun. 1. Miyan Ki Todi In the canon of the classical music of India there is no Raaga more traditional than Miyan Ki Todi, the creation of which is originally attributed to the doyen of Indian composers Miyan Tansen (1506-1585). In this performance Panditji meticulously preserves Tansen's prescribed tonal structure while delineating four original, modern compositions intermingled seamlessly in a single movement of varying rhythmic meters. True to Panditji's reputation, ancient tradition finds new voice for a future worthy of it's roots. Alaap, Chota Khayal (Jhap Taal, 10 beats/cycle), Saadra (Jhap Taal, 10 beats/cycle), Drut (Teen Taal,16 beats/cycle) Tabla Accompanist: Pt. Giridhar Prasad Jaipurwalle Swarmandal: Pt. Anant Bhonsle 2. Bairagi Bhairav In this performance, Panditji presents a deeply introspective interpretation of a rare melodic scale. Pensive and sonorous, the original composition mines the intricacies of the lower octaves to delineate a mood of spiritual enlightenment. Upon contemplation the attuned ear can fathom oneness of sound, beauty and spirit. Bada Khayal (Vilambit, Ek Taal, 12 beats/cycle) Tabla Accompanist: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar 3. Bhoopkali This selection is a live encore performance of one of Panditji's own contributions to the canon of Indian classical music. Literally meaning 'flower born of light / sunflower', the composition is a fine example of Panditji's impressionistic muse. The music sparkles with innocent vivacity and elegant wisdom. Intellectual music, the composition seems to say, can entertain. Drut (Ek Taal, 12 beats/cycle) Flute Accompanist: Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Tabla: Sanjay Kumar 'No substitute for his flute...the complete master' - The Hindustan Times "A volcano of creative expression' - The Indian Express "His flute is an unending fountain of myriad melodies, always fresh, always original." - The Patriot 'Creator of beautiful, wide and ethereal canvasses.' - The Deccan Herald '20th Century Renaissance Genius.' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer 'Intensely romantic...lyrical...extremely serene.' - Rave Magazine "Innovator in the world of music.. a versatile genius." -The JS Magazine "Seeker of truth through music. One of the greatest flautists of this world" - The Times of India "Reflective music, refreshing and genuinely haunting" - The New York Times "Awe inspiring. Freshness and finesse in every note. Marked by gay abandon, innovativeness and imaginative vitality." - The Statesman "Suave tonicity, lyricism, rich melodic beauty" - The Listening Post Pt. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO : SUNRISE (vol 1) Originally recorded live in Bombay, India and Springfield, VA, USA Digitally re-mastered at The Red & Green Company, VA, USA Special thanks to Smt. Lakshmi V. Rao CD version of SUNRISE (vol. 1) manufactured by Disc Makers, Philadelphia, PA, USA Sound Executive Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Executive Producer Sanjay Kumar © (p) 2013 by Pt.

42nd Street: River To River
"42nd Street - River to River" is an impressionistic, graphic history of one of the world's most infamous streets: Manhattan's 42nd Street. Likened to a DNA strip of New York City, the street has ranged from the glamorous to the derelict, housing everything from peep shows to such international institutions as the United Nations. The documentary is an exploration of the street's expansion from the farmland where Washington bivouacked his troops to the flashy, commercial center that it is today.- Shop: odax
