Yet there is an emptiness at the heart of Ella's life - an emptiness once filled by love.

    The Study Circle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
    High up on the 17th floor of a South London council block, a study circle is being held. They are studying the Koran, and Ishaq has been attending for five years now, but official interest in the group is building. With an EDL march in just a few days' time, some of them think they might be under surveillance. Ishaq is secure in his identity as British and Muslim, but as papers discuss Asian sex gangs in the North and a European politician appears on television discussing a final solution, he wonders if Britain itself sees him the same way. When he runs into Shams, an old friend looking for work, Ishaq offers to help him out. And that's all it takes to begin a chain reaction that will collide with extremism, nationalism, and MI5. Based upon Haroun Khan's own experiences with extremism and being brought up on a South London council estate, The Study Circle is a groundbreaking look into the state of modern Britain through the lives of urban Muslim youth.  ungekürzt.

    The Divan by Hafiz , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
    Khwāja Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfiẓ-e Shīrāzī (1315-1390), more commonly known just as Háfiz, was a lyric poet, who ranks with Omar Khayyam and Rumi as a major figure in classical Persian literature. The compendious anthology of his poetry simply titled the Divan contains several hundred odes, from which this small selection was made by the translator.  In the introduction Bicknell writes: For we must look upon Háfiz as one of the few poets in the world who utters an unbroken strain of joy and contentment. His poverty was to him a constant fountain of satisfaction, and he frankly took the natural joys of life as they came, supported under every vicissitude by his religious sense of the goodness and kindliness of the One God, manifested in everything in the world that was sweet and genial, and beautiful to behold. Háfiz, in the naturalness and spontaneity of his poetry, and in the winning sweetness of his imagery, occupies a unique place in the literature of the world, and has no rival in his special domain. ungekürzt.

    Ecstatic Memory: A Glimpse of Rumi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 142min
    Although there is now a plethora of books by and about Rumi (I noticed an almost exponential increase of Rumi related texts from the 1980s onwards), I thought it might be instructive to republish a small portion of Edward Henry Whinfield's English translation of Rumi's Persian masterpiece. I think it is vitally important in today's social climate to focus on those aspects of Islam which elevate humankind and I can think of no better place to start than with the Sufi mystics of Islam, of which Rumi is the most famous (and perhaps finest) example. Rumi has such a rich understanding of the human condition, and what it yearns for, that he becomes at various turns a sort of "doctor" of the heart. His unbreakable bond with Shams of Tabriz exemplifies one of the greatest love stories ever told and though written centuries ago it still resonates today. The following is but a small glimpse of Rumi's prodigious outpourings. My hope is that listeners will want to delve deeper into his writings, since a close analysis of Rumi will undoubtedly benefit the listener in unforeseen ways. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Infinite Space Der Architekt John Lautner, 1 DVD
    Die Häuser von John Lautner gehören zum Aufregendsten, was die amerikanische Architektur hervorgebracht hat. Einem unbedingten Schönheitsideal verpflichtet, wirken ihre Räume unendlich aus der Perspektive der Bewohner, denn Lautners Architektur ist für den Menschen gemacht. Jedes Haus ist ein Kunstwerk für sich, definiert das Verhältnis von Innen- und Außenraum neu; Viele sind als Filmkulissen berühmt geworden: James Bond lief in den 1960ern durch das Elrod House, Tarantino belebte für Pulp Fiction ein Googie-Restaurant wieder und Colin Firths für den Oscar nominierte Darstellung in A Single Man wurde in der Schaffer Residence gedreht. INFINITE SPACE DER ARCHITEKT JOHN LAUNTER ist das Porträt eines visionären Architekten. Der Film führt durch die Karriere Lautners, arbeitet die wichtigsten Prinzipien seines Werks heraus, lässt ihn selbst (mithilfe von Audio-Archivmaterial) seine Arbeiten kommentieren und befragt die wichtigsten Weggefährten des Architekten: seine Familie, seine Mitarbeiter und ehemalige Bauherren, außerdem berühmte Lautner-Fans wie Frank O. Gehry. Die heutigen Hausbesitzer öffneten für diesen Film ihre Türen und Murray Grigor konnte zusammen mit seinem Kameramann Hamid Shams den Zauber und die unvergängliche Schönheit von John Lautners unendlichen Räumen einfangen.

    The Blissful Longing of Rumi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
    I first came upon the magnificent Divani Shamsi Tabriz at the now defunct Bodhi Tree bookstore on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. I was 17 years old and I used to haunt that bookstore like a ghost who overstayed his welcome, primarily because they allowed its patrons to sit comfortably and read whatever was on their shelves for offer. I have a very fond memory of reading Rumi's deeply moving paens to his deceased mentor and friend, Shams of Tabriz. I eventually bought the paperback edition of the book and read it daily for years. Even today nearly five decades later my eyes moisten whenever I read anew the infinite longing that Rumi had for his beloved teacher, particularly when he could plaintively write, "Love's fingers tear up, root and stem, every house where sunbeams fall from love. When my heart saw love's sea, of a sudden it left me and leaped in, crying, find me. The face of Shamsi Din, Tabriz's glory, is the sun in whose track the cloud-like hearts are moving." Reynold A. Nicholson has done us all in the English speaking world a wonderful service by translating from the original Persian much of Rumi's writings. The following excerpted poems provide a glimpse into the heart and mind of the one world's greatest mystic poets. It is my hope that a new cadre of listeners will be moved and touched by Rumi's poems, which each have a universal import that transcends both religion and cultural boundaries. Though Rumi was a Muslim and wrote within the context of a believer in Islam, his message goes to the heart of all spiritual inquiries - regardless of whether one is a Jew, a Christian, or a Hindu. ungekürzt.

    Travel Tales Monthly: No. 8 FEB 2015 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min
    The February 2015 issue samples the sorts of cons and scams experienced by travelers - their quest to travel safely, securely, and relatively comfortably, without falling victim to the innumerable schemes, scams, shams, and rip-offs perpetrated upon them at just about every turn in their travels (as well as, all too often, even in their own home countries). Unfortunately travel today for anyone, and particularly for relatively naive, younger, and inexperienced travelers, has increasing challenges, what with the growing numbers of people relegated to begging, scheming, thieving, and having to do whatever they need to do to survive and get by. All too often it has just about become almost the norm for people of all persuasions and varieties to try to somehow dispossess unknowing and unsuspecting foreign travelers of their money, passports, personal possessions and effects, and travel accouterments, simply because it's the easiest way for them to get by. It's often easier to steal than to work. And work overseas is not always easy to come by for those who want or need it. And not only are there the usual local legions of pickpockets, thieves, and muggers on the prowl to contend with who are looking for victims; there are plenty of other fellow travelers guilty of doing such things as well. Often travelers find themselves in difficult and sometimes dire situations, such as running out of money, getting into trouble, contending with being far away from home, maybe even strung out on drugs, or just having difficulty surviving. Some of these travelers, as a result, find themselves succumbing to and joining the ranks of con artists and scammers who prey upon other travelers and sometimes even the locals. ungekürzt.
