A Tale of Two Cities (AmazonClassics Edition) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1029min
Charles Darnay is a French noble falsely accused of treason. Sydney Carton is a self-loathing junior barrister enlisted to defend him. Between them is a shared love for the daughter of a former Bastille prisoner. Soon, their interlocking fates will be decided, as the French Revolution is ignited and the Reign of Terror begins. Charles Dickens's belief in renaissance is borne out in this epic novel - as cities are overthrown and transformed, as cynics become selfless heroes, and as a "recall to life" becomes not only possible but necessary, for the individual and for society. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to listen to a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds. Revised edition: Previously published as A Tale of Two Cities, this edition of A Tale of Two Cities (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Leading While Green: How Emerging Leaders Can Ripen into Effective Leaders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
Do any of these phrases sound familiar? You're still wet behind the ears. You still need training wheels. You'll get the hang of it. You need someone to hold your hand. You're too green. The real world doesn't look favorably upon beginners. Young leaders who are given the opportunity to excel are, more often than not, simultaneously reminded by the same ol' cynics just how young and inexperienced they are; just how large of a road they have ahead of them. If you can relate to this experience in any way then you are exactly the person I had in mind while writing this book. With more than a decade of experience teaching leadership principles to college students, I've helped scores of young adults discover their leadership potential and begin their journey toward powerful and confident leadership. The tools I share in this book have helped teachers, entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, non-profit directors, and business coaches navigate their journeys from green to ripened. ungekürzt.

Priest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
Ireland is no longer the land of saints and scholars. Now, in an era of prosperity, the sexual scandals surrounding the church have caused its people to lose faith in the one institution that seemed invulnerable. But the decapitation of Father Joyce in a Galway church brings a gasp to the most hardened cynics. Not to Jack Taylor. Emotionally bruised, battered, and still struggling with the demon drink, he’s back in town, trying to get his life on course after the traumatic trauma of personal loss. And it seems that Jack has a job: he’s been asked to investigate the murder of Fr Joyce, but to proceed with caution and discretion; no further scandals must destabilize the Roman Catholic Church. Discretion is not a word Jack understands however, especially when the dead priest has a long history of abusing small boys, and is responsible for a terrible crime …Bleak, unsettling and totally original, Ken Bruen’s writing captures the brooding landscape of Irish society at a time of social and economic upheaval. Here is evidence of an unmistakeable talent in the ascendant. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gerry O'Brien. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/000703/bk_rhuk_000703_sample.mp3.

Stoicism: How the Philosophy of the Stoics Works, Understanding and Practicing Stoicism, Learn the Art of Happiness and How to Manage Your Emotions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min
What is Stoicism? Stoicism is called the philosophical doctrine that practiced mastery of the passions that disturb life using virtue and reason; as such, its purpose was to achieve happiness and wisdom regardless of comfort, material goods, and fortune. Hence, it also designates a certain moral attitude related to strength and equanimity in character.The ideal of the Stoics was to achieve imperturbability and some degree of independence from the outside world. Although it was a fundamentally ethical doctrine, it also had its own logical and physical conceptions. It was influenced by cynics and Heraclitus. The Stoic school was founded by Zenón de Citio around 301 BC in Athens. They used to meet in a portico of the city, from which it derived its name, which comes from the Greek (Stoikós), derived from στοά (stoá), which means "porch". It was one of the most influential Hellenic philosophical schools. Its boom period is recorded between the third century BC and second century AD. Its weakening coincided with the rise of Christianity. In the Stoic doctrine, three phases are recognized: a first, headed by Zeno and Chrysippus, called ancient Stoicism; the second, characterized by the contributions of Panecio and Posidonio, is known as middle Stoicism, and finally, there is new Stoicism, represented by figures such as Seneca , Epícteto, and Marco Aurelio. ungekürzt.
