    Stoner (eBook, ePUB)
    Discover an American masterpiece. This unassuming story about the life of a quiet English professor has earned the admiration of readers all over the globe. William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar's life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a "proper" family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude. John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.

    The Prince (AmazonClassics Edition) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
    Direct and coldly pragmatic, Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince is the preeminent guide to winning and maintaining power at the highest levels, where deception and manipulation are necessary tools, and political allies should never be mistaken for friends. Once a foreign policy official in his native Florence, Machiavelli was ousted by the Medici family. After surviving disgrace and torture at their hands, he penned The Prince to garner their favor. While this effort was ignored, the five-hundred-year-old work endures and is now considered one of the most influential - and controversial - political treatises of all time. Revised edition: Previously published as The Prince, this edition of The Prince (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Will Damron.

    Mother City: Mayhem in Paradise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    Cape Town is an unlikely setting for Islamic terror, but in Bo-Kaap, the city's peaceful Muslim enclave, Imam Rauf preaches a theology of austerity, obedience, and sacrifice. When the multi-billionaire Goldwyn family settles in the Western Cape, they learn firsthand the implications of a radical imam's preaching. Cultures collide in the wake of a family crisis as the Goldwyns face off with an insidious form of jihad that has long existed but always been ignored. Mother City leaves listeners with a coldly objective impression of the postmodern world where danger lurks at every turn, even in unexpected places, and where unilateral actions beyond state control may indeed constitute the most effective way to protect the West. ungekürzt.
