A Thousand Hills: Rwanda's Rebirth and the Man Who Dreamed It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min

Paul Kagame grew up as a wretched refugee. He and a group of comrades, determined to force their way back home after a generation of exile, designed one of the most audacious covert operations in the history of clandestine war. Then, after taking power, they amazed the world by stabilizing and reviving their devastated country. Now, as President Kagame, he's obsessed with a single outlandish dream: to make Rwanda the first middle-income country in Africa, and to do it in the space of a single generation. A Thousand Hills tells Kagame's tumultuous life story, including his early fascination with Che Guevara and James Bond, his years as an intelligence agent, his training in Cuba and the United States, the dazzlingly original way he built his secret rebel army, his bloody rebellion, and his outsized ambitions for Rwanda. It is the adventure-filled tale of a visionary who won a war, stopped a genocide, and then set out to turn his country into the star of Africa. Like Ishmael Beah's best-selling A Long Way Gone and Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea, this book recounts the thrilling and uplifting tale of a man who defied the odds to lift himself and his country out of misery toward a more promising future. ungekürzt.

Waiting for the Albino Dunnock: How birds can change your life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 630min

Written by a beginner bird-watcher with the freshness and passion of a convert, Waiting for the Albino Dunnock explores the world of birds through the seasons of a single year. It describes encounters with particular birds in the landscapes of East Anglia, where the author is rooted. Occasional journeys farther afield take the listener to truly wild places in the Outer Hebrides and Eastern Europe. Yet the ordinary experience of bird-watching is also far more than just that. The beauty of birds has the power to change lives, as it did the author's, and, as in the case of the all-but-legendary snow leopard, it is more about the search than the result. Personal and elegiac in tone, the writing is an unusual combination of prose poems based on the actual experience of seeing a specific bird for the first time, woven with elements of science and wisdom traditions, ornithology (and its punning counterpart, ornitheology), mythology and philosophy, taxonomy and history, literature and folklore, conveying the wider picture of what it means to be human in relationship to nature. Waiting for the Albino Dunnock explores the degree to which wildness is embedded in the human psyche and how beauty is central to our mental and emotional well-being while highlighting the careless damage we are inflicting on the natural world.

Caligula , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min

Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the third Roman Emperor, is better known by another name: Caligula, a name synonymous with decadence, cruelty and madness. His reign was marked by excess, huge building projects, the largest gladiatorial battles Rome was ever to see – men and animals killed in their hundreds – conspiracies, assassination attempts and sexual scandal. Rufus as a young slave grows up far from the corruption of the imperial court. His master is a trainer of animals for the gladiatorial arena. Rufus discovers that he has a natural ability with animals, a talent for controlling and schooling them. It is at the arenas that Rufus meets his great friend Cupido, one of Rome’s greatest gladiators. It is his growing reputation as an animal trainer and his friendship with Cupido that attracts the cruel gaze of the Emperor. Caligula wants a keeper for the imperial elephant and Rufus is bought from his master and taken to the imperial palace. Life here is dictated by Caligula’s ever shifting moods. Caligula is as generous as he is cruel, he is a megalomaniac who declares himself a living god and simultaneously lives in constant fear of the plots against his life. But his paranoia is not misplaced, intrigue permeates his court, and Rufus and Cupido find themselves unwittingly placed at the centre of a conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor. ungekürzt.

Impact Player: Leaving a Lasting Legacy On and Off the Field , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min

I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee. (Bobby Richardson) Bobby Richardson played alongside Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, Moose Skowron, and Yogi Berra during one of the greatest dynasties in baseball history, and he remains to this day the only player from a losing team ever to be named World Series MVP. Impact Player chronicles Bobby’s life story - from his early days playing American Legion ball in South Carolina through his storied career with the Yankee’s and his decision to walk away from the game in his prime. He shares never-before-told tales from the Yankees clubhouse during the historic ‘55-‘64 pennant runs, and he speaks candidly about the unlikely friendship this devout, clean-cut Christian shared with the fast-and-hard-living Mickey Mantle - a friendship that lasted for decades and would ultimately change the lives of these former teammates forever. The perfect combination of faith and baseball, Impact Player is a must-listen for baseball fans and historians of all ages. It not only offers a rare glimpse into one of the most celebrated dynasties in the history of the game but also paints a fascinating portrait of a life well lived and portrays the lasting rewards that come from knowing and loving God. ungekürzt.

Irgendwann soll es weitergehen, vielleicht, Hörbuch, Digital, 198min

Diese Biographie ist in der Gegenwart geschrieben, da alle Dinge, die passiert sind, zu jeder Zeit geschehen können. Das Geheimnis der Tiefe ist das Geheimnis der Seele. Irgendwo dort, wo es scheinbar nicht weitergeht, irgendwo dort, fängt alles an. Die Dinge bewegen sich in unglaublicher Geschwindigkeit in sich selbst und sehen doch von außen so ruhig, so in Ruhe gelassen aus. Ein gigantisches Bergmassiv in seiner erschütternden Erhabenheit, eine Ewigkeit lebend, von der nur jemand etwas versteht, der es gelernt hat, Einsamkeit zu dulden. Der scheinbar in großer Gelassenheit dahin ziehende Blauwal, die tiefen Meere pflügend, unter einer Sonne, die ihm auch in dunkelsten Gefilden den Weg weist zu einem uns unbekannten Ziel. Oder der Horizont, in blau gefasst, in hohen Stunden und so weit schwingend wie die Sehnsuchtreicht, ein Vogel zu sein, in den unerreichten Lüften der Geborgenheit des NIE AUFGEBENS, in einem Flug, der die Sterne berührt, wie das Atmen des Mondes in einer Silbernacht, in verkündender Sicherheit verschleiertem Seins, den gelebten vergangenen Milliarden von Jahren huldigend. Und dennoch, hinter dieser anscheinend in sich ruhenden Bühne, kämpft das Leben in verzweifeltem Ringen um seine Existenz, jagen Mikroteilchen in unfassbarer Geschwindigkeit durch das All und manifestieren nicht zuletzt in engsten atomaren Verbindungen, in ungeahnten Bewegungen um einen Kern, ihre ewige, nicht begreifliche Unrast.Draußen, an den hohen Pforten eines sich wohl nicht begrenzenden Universums, zieht an schlanken Säulen die Ewigkeit empor. Draußen, an den Pforten des Lichts, begrenzt sich das erste Atemholen und verweilt der Gnade eines unbekannten Geistes. Der Welten Schöpfer trägt die Last und lässt sie sinken, langsam dem ZUM - WERDEN hin. Den Augenblick der Geburt entscheidet das Atmen der Sekunde. deutsch.

CEB Common English Bible Audio Edition New Testament with Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1117min

The New Testament of the CEB Common English Bible with Music. Listening to the Bible will change the way you understand scripture. The stories and poems and instructions comes in through the ears and consume your whole being as God's word becomes part of a living experience. The Common English Bible is not simply a revision or update of an existing translation. It is a bold new translation designed to meet the needs of Christians as they work to build a strong and meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ. A key goal of the translation team was to make the Bible accessible to a broad range of people; it’s written at a comfortable level for over half of all English speakers. As the translators did their work, specialists working with 77 reading groups from more than a dozen denominations reviewed the texts and read them aloud to ensure a smooth and natural listening experience. Easy readability can enhance church worship and participation, and personal Bible study. It also encourages children and youth to discover the Bible for themselves, perhaps for the very first time. Who is it for? The Common English Bibleis committed to the whole church of Jesus Christ. To achieve this, the CEB represents the work of a diverse team with broad scholarship, including the work of over 120 scholars - men and women from 24 faith traditions in American, African, Asian, European, and Latino communities. As a result, the English translation of ancient words has an uncommon relevance for a broad audience of Bible readers - from children to scholars. ungekürzt. Language: English.
