Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
Anthony Doerr has received many awards - from the New York Public Library, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the American Library Association. Then came the Rome Prize, one of the most prestigious awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and with it a stipend and a writing studio in Rome for a year. Doerr learned of the award the day he and his wife returned from the hospital with newborn twins. Exquisitely observed, Four Seasons in Rome describes Doerr's varied adventures in one of the most enchanting cities in the world. He reads Pliny, Dante, and Keats - the chroniclers of Rome who came before him - and visits the piazzas, temples, and ancient cisterns they describe. He attends the vigil of a dying Pope John Paul II and takes his twins to the Pantheon in December to wait for snow to fall through the oculus. He and his family are embraced by the butchers, grocers, and bakers of the neighborhood, whose clamor of stories and idiosyncratic child-rearing advice is as compelling as the city itself. This intimate and revelatory book is a celebration of Rome, a wondrous look at new parenthood, and a fascinating story of a writer's craft - the process by which he transforms what he sees and experiences into sentences. ungekürzt.

The Knight of the Burning Pestle (eBook, ePUB)
'Let him kill a lion with a pestle, husband; let him kill a lion with a pestle.'So exclaims the Grocer's wife who, with her husband and servants, is attending one of the London's elite playhouses where a theatre comany has just begun to perform. Peeved at the fact that all the plays they see are satires on the lives and values of London's citizenry, the Grocer and his wife interrupt and demand a play that instead contains chivalric quests and courtly love. What's more, they nominate their apprentice Rafe to take on the hero's role of the knight in this entirely new play.The author, Francis Beaumont, ends up not just satirising the grocers' naive taste for romance but parodying his own example of citizen comedy. This play-within-a-play becomes a pastiche of contemporary plays that scorned those who were not courtiers or at least gentlemen or ladies. Like Cervantes in Don Quixote, Beaumont exposes the folly of those that take representations for realities, but also celebrates their idealism and love of adventure.The editor, Michael Hattaway, is editor of plays by Shakespeare and Jonson as well as of several volumes of critical essays, and author of Elizabethan Popular Theatre, Hamlet: The Critics Debate, and Renaissance and Reformations: An Introduction to Early Modern English Literature. He is Professor Emeritus of English Literature in the University of Sheffield.- Shop: buecher

The Vanishing Neighbor: The Transformation of American Community , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
A sweeping new look at the unheralded transformation that is eroding the foundations of American exceptionalism. Americans today find themselves mired in an era of uncertainty and frustration. The nation's safety net is pulling apart under its own weight; political compromise is viewed as a form of defeat; and our faith in the enduring concept of American exceptionalism appears increasingly outdated. But the American Age may not be ending. In The Vanishing Neighbor, Marc J. Dunkelman identifies an epochal shift in the structure of American life - a shift unnoticed by many. Routines that once put doctors and lawyers in touch with grocers and plumbers - interactions that encouraged debate and cultivated compromise - have changed dramatically since the postwar era. Both technology and the new routines of everyday life connect tight-knit circles and expand the breadth of our social landscapes, but they've sapped the commonplace, incidental interactions that for centuries have built local communities and fostered healthy debate. The disappearance of these once-central relationships - between people who are familiar but not close, or friendly but not intimate - lies at the root of America's economic woes and political gridlock. The institutions that were erected to support what Tocqueville called the "township" - that unique locus of the power of citizens - are failing because they haven't yet been molded to the realities of the new American community. It's time we moved beyond the debate over whether the changes being made to American life are good or bad and focus instead on understanding the tradeoffs. Our cities are less racially segregated than in decades past, but we’ve become less cognizant of what's happening in the lives of people from different economic backgrounds, education levels, or age groups. ungekürzt.

Threats to Supermarkets, Hörbuch, Digital, 17min
Top Dog Radio speaks with a giant of the supermarket industry, John Catsimatidis, founder and CEO of Red Apple Group and Gristedes Foods, along with two other experts in the field. John Catsimatidis’ life epitomizes the American dream. Born from Greek emigrants who came to America penniless, Catsimatidis attained a top-level education and graduated from New York University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. While working part-time in a family friend’s grocery store at 137th and Broadway in New York City and attending college, he was inspired to start his own grocery store in Upper Manhattan. It was so successful that it grew into a chain of supermarkets which eventually became the Red Apple Group. In 1986, the Red Apple Group purchased Gristedes Supermarkets. Catsimatidis discusses some of the chief issues facing grocers and supermarket owners, including how small businesses can compete against big competitors (including fast food outlets and drug stores) in larger markets, the nature of changing eating habits, and controlling business costs. Catsimatidis’ 30-plus years of success in his field will educate entrepreneurs on the finer points of entering the food industry.

Heirs of Eden , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 942min
It is 1949 in Washington's inner city. Noah Greenspan, the young son of Jewish corner grocers in the African American neighborhood of LeDroit Park, has fallen in love with Alexandra Salaman, a beautiful Palestinian Christian who, along with her brother, Yusuf, and her parents, Sharif and Samira, are refugees following the Israeli War of Independence. Noah is first smitten during his bar mitzvah as he gazes upon the winsome Alexandra seated with the women in the balcony of an old Orthodox synagogue. The Salamans and Hy and Esther Greenspan, while friendly competitors, agonize over their children's relationships. But for Noah none of that matters. Over the ensuing years the two families endure the tensions of conflict as their sometimes-tortured relationship evolves. Weaving the impact of history as it unfolds in America, and the Middle East on the lives of his characters, Harold Gershowitz's second family saga is a fascinating look at how age-old conflicts continue to plague contemporary relationships. As Noah, Alexandra, and Yusuf go their separate ways through college and onto their respective careers, centuries-old prejudices and animosities haunt them. Their loyalty to one another is repeatedly tested by the conflicts of culture and politics. The lovely and delightful Karen Rothschild enters Noah's life at Stanford University, and Alexandra, while in the Middle East, meets Ali Abdul Shoukri, a passionate aspiring terrorist who draws her, unknowingly, into a deadly scheme, and Amos ben Chaiyim, a determined and daring Israeli agent is sent to stop him. A modern Romeo and Juliet, Gershowitz's latest work of historical fiction is a tale of innocence lost amid the tensions of cultural conflict. This sweeping saga explores the forces that tear at those caught within history's destructive path. A moving tribute to the power of love, Heirs of Eden is a stirring reminder of our ability to challenge the forces that divide us. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Paul.

Cry Eden , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 792min
Against the backdrop of war in the Middle East, Cry Eden continues the saga of Noah Greenspan, a young and successful Jewish businessman, and his Palestinian American wife, Alexandra Salaman, a rising-star journalist in Washington, DC. Rich in historical detail, Cry Eden is a story about the power of love challenged by the stresses and tensions of age-old animosities. War, economic crisis in America, and terrorists plotting unspeakable revenge against Alexandra all converge in this pause-resister of historical fiction. Cry Eden, a riveting read, was preceded by The Eden Legacy and Heirs of Eden and concludes the Eden trilogy. In Heirs of Eden, Noah and Alexandra meet as children in Washington, DC’s black LeDroit Park neighborhood, where their parents are corner grocers and competitors. The Salaman family has just arrived in the US from Jaffa, following the Israeli War of Independence. Dispossessed of their home and their livelihood, they are brought to the US by a relative who has purchased a vacated corner grocery store for them. Eleven-year-old Alexandra and her twin brother, Yusuf, meet Noah Greenspan on the first day of school. The trilogy follows Noah and Alexandra and their families over a period of 25 years. They are years filled with drama, tension, and conflict as Noah and Alexandra fall in love as teenagers and face the heartache of love forbidden by their respective cultures and centuries of ethnic and religious conflict. The Greenspan family and the Salaman family, against all odds, forge a close relationship that evolves into a successful business partnership. In The Eden Legacy, Alexandra has become an established journalist who travels to the Middle East in the aftermath of the Six-Day War and is dogged by fanatical terrorists determined to destroy her. Cry Eden is a story of deep love threatened by terrorists who have plotted the ultimate revenge agai ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Paul.
