Unexplained Phenomena: Stories and Accounts of Some of the Most Strange and Intriguing Unexplained Phenomena , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min

There are things that occur in this world and have happened right through the whole of the human experience - for which there has never been a rational explanation. Remember, explanations are just temporary, going on and off in response to fads and fashions. However, the happenings they are supposed to explain, carry on as mysteriously as ever. Yet, mysterious phenomena are also to a certain extent influenced by imagination. For instance, clusters of living toads and hibernating swallows impressed into rocks, regularly recorded by naturalists, seem to have died out. Mariners, these days, hardly ever witness sea monsters and giant octopuses. Rings of dancing fairies, once a common folklore belief, are now rare. To make up for these temporary losses, other kinds of weird and unexplained phenomena have come up in this modern age - UFO sightings, mutilations of cattle and horses; the phenomenon of crop circles etc. Having said that, the standard mysteries, those which have perplexed humanity from the very beginning, continue to do so. Strange creatures and things fall, at times slowly, from rather unknown sources; people walk over glowing trenches of hot coals, encounter monsters in mountains and lakes, are subject to strange coincidences, so on and so forth. You hear about such things in legends, folklore and myths, and there is a good chance you can find out about their continuations in modern journals and newspapers. In this book, I aim to connect all dots - establish links between various kinds of mysteries and wonders described in it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Wayne Cox.

Perceval: The Story of the Grail , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1000min

Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval is the single most important Arthurian romance. It contains the very first mention of the mysterious grail, later to become the Holy Grail and the focal point of the spiritual quest of the knights of Arthur's court. Chrétien left the poem unfinished, but the extraordinary and intriguing theme of the Grail was too good to leave, and other poets continued and eventually completed it. This is the only English translation to include selections from the three continuations and from the work of Gerbert de Montreuil, making the romance a coherent whole, and following through Chrétien's essential theme of the making of a knight, in both worldly and spiritual terms. It is not hard to see why Chrétien’s unfinished story of the Grail proved such a compelling story, for its fundamental theme could hardly have been bolder, clearer or move movingly simple - or more important to its medieval audience. It is about the making of a knight in the most complete sense. It is not by chance that the story begins with a boy who had been brought up in a remote forest with no knowledge whatever of the world of knighthood and with only the haziest understanding of matters religious - he does not even know what a church is, let alone a knight’s hauberk, shield or lance. Chrétien’s plan is so forthright and sweeping that he sets out to depict a knight’s development from a point of total innocence and ignorance. The importance of the spiritual alongside the martial in the development of a knight, symbolised so powerfully by the Broken Sword, is a constantly recurring theme. Gerbert de Montreuil, whose poem is by far the most inspired and methodical continuation of Chrétien’s themes, shows by his handling of the broken sword motif that he was acutely aware of how much remained to be done before Perceval was fully worthy to know the secrets of the grail and the lance.
