    A Matter of Honor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
    Starting with my childhood, and throughout my entire life, Istanbul provided me with a rich and broad understanding of storytelling. I witnessed skyscrapers being raised to the skies around the glorious historical areas, yet ironically, I also watched those skyscrapers being surrounded by jerry-built tenements. I sadly watched the spectacular fabric of this city getting more and more polluted over time, including its green hills and its beautiful woodlands, pillaged and destroyed in a blink of an eye! I don’t believe any other population in any other place has been as unattended or neglected as Istanbul. I wrote over 100 stories by using a plain, natural, and straightforward narrative style. Objectively, to the best of my abilities, I tried portraying the people of Istanbul, who are neither urban nor rustic folks, but a mixture of both in their truest forms. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Gunfighters: Billy the Kid, Jesse James, The EArps & Doc Holliday , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min

Here’s the story of the OK Corral gunfight, the Crystal Palace, and the Bird Cage Theater, the Earps and Doc Holiday, the ladies of the evening, and the men and women who made Tombstone what it was…the town too tough to die. ungekürzt.

    The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence and Cultural Restitution
    New York Times 'Best Art Books' 2020 'Essential' - Sunday Times 'Brilliantly enraged' - New York Review of Books 'A real game-changer'- Economist Walk into any Western museum today and you will see the curated spoils of Empire. They sit behind plate glass: dignified, tastefully lit. Accompanying pieces of card offer a name, date and place of origin. They do not mention that the objects are all stolen. Few artefacts embody this history of rapacious and extractive colonialism better than the Benin Bronzes - a collection of thousands of metal plaques and sculptures depicting the history of the Royal Court of the Obas of Benin City, Nigeria. Pillaged during a British naval attack in 1897, the loot was passed on to Queen Victoria, the British Museum and countless private collections. The story of the Benin Bronzes sits at the heart of a heated debate about cultural restitution, repatriation and the decolonisation of museums. In The Brutish Museums, Dan Hicks makes a powerful case for the urgent return of such objects, as part of a wider project of addressing the outstanding debt of colonialism.
