The Great Lover , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min
Nell Golightly is living out her widowhood in Cambridgeshire when she receives a strange request. A Tahitian woman, claiming to be the daughter of the poet Rupert Brooke, writes to ask what he was like. How did he sound, what did he smell like, how did it feel to wrap your arms around him? So Nell turns her mind to 1909 when, as a seventeen-year-old housemaid, she first encountered the young poet. He was already causing a stir - not only with his poems and famed good looks, but also by his taboo-breaking behaviour and radical politics. Intrigued, soon Nell realised that despite her good sense, she was falling for him. But could he love a housemaid? Was he capable of love at all? ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Age of Wonder
Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and winner of the Royal Society Prize for Science Books, Richard Holmes's dazzling portrait of the age of great scientific discovery is a groundbreaking achievement.The book opens with Joseph Banks, botanist on Captain Cook's first Endeavour voyage, who stepped onto a Tahitian beach in 1769 fully expecting to have located Paradise. Back in Britain, the same Romantic revolution that had inspired Banks was spurring other great thinkers on to their own voyages of artistic and scientific discovery - astronomical, chemical, poetical, philosophical - that together made up the 'age of wonder'.In this breathtaking group biography, Richard Holmes tells the stories of the period's celebrated innovators and their great scientific discoveries: from telescopic sight to the miner's lamp, and from the first balloon flight to African exploration.- Shop: buecher

Higher Cause , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1458min
In 1789, on board His Majesty's Armed Vessel Bounty, Fletcher Christian plotted a mutiny against his friend, Captain Bligh, in order to follow the British Admiralty's secret orders to return to England with a Tahitian artifact of incredible power. More than two centuries later, the economies of the world are on the brink of collapse. Petur Bjarnasson and Isaac Bonhoff partner with the world's wealthiest investors and best entrepreneurial scientists to create new energy sources, and thus enough new wealth to perhaps pay off the world's accumulated debt. But there are groups who don't want that debt paid off... On the Paradise Islands in the eastern Pacific, the team must contend with the many forces of the world that are threatened by their success. The Bounty may hold Petur's best chance of victory. If it can be found. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jacob Little.

Cowboy Dreamin': 1Night Stand Series, Book 214 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
Kendra spends her days and nights running a business, sculpting, and leading a Tahitian dance group in Kauai. She can't squeeze anything else into her life, but she dreams of cowboys: sexy, hot cowboys in tight jeans, low-tipped Stetsons, and dusty boots. Men who know all about how to please a woman. She enjoys her fantasies, but can't imagine ever settling down. But one night with one would be so nice. Surely that would get her dreams of a white knight cowboy sweeping her off her feet out of her system. Because of an accident that Shane believes left him "less of a man", he doesn't see a wife and children in his future. Carson, his ranching partner - and sometimes lover - thinks Shane is wrong. Carson refuses to let Shane settle for a life of rodeo bunnies who only want a romp in bed with a bull rider. Shane deserves more than that. He manages to sign Shane up with a matchmaking service to, hopefully, meet another kind of woman, maybe someone who will appreciate Shane for the man he is - except Madame Evangeline expects both of the cowboys to go on this special one night date. It doesn't take long for either cowboy to realize that one night with the purple-haired, hip-shaking beauty in Kauai might not be enough.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Clark.

The Beholder's Eye: A Collection of America's Finest Personal Journalism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 685min
Great journalists, at one time or another, have all been characters in their own stories: people with personalities that shaped what they saw and reported and were touched and changed by the experiences about which they wrote, and innovators who borrowed the storytelling techniques of fiction. The Beholder's Eye showcases the very best of an increasing trend toward personal narrative: Mike Sager stalking Marlon Brando in the Tahitian jungle; J. R. Moehringer's quest to discover the true identity of an old boxer; Bill Plaschke's story about a woman with cerebral palsy who runs an obscure Los Angeles Dodgers website; Scott Anderson's story of his lifetime of covering war after war; Harrington's own tale of his interracial family's struggle to persevere; and many others. Written by reporters who were willing to reveal themselves in order to bring listeners insights that were deeper than supposedly objective third-person stories, their articles are an invaluable resource for aspiring journalists, students, and teachers of the craft of writing and any listener with an appreciation for masterful storytelling.

The Cook Islands: Rarotonga, Aitutaki & Beyond: Travel Adventures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
The Cook Islands, named after the British Captain who seems to have been everywhere in the Pacific, are scattered like tiny jewels over a large stretch of sea between Tahiti and Samoa. Rarotonga, the principal island, is 2,500 miles due south of Honolulu - as far south of the equator as Honolulu is north of it - a similarity that provides both places with ideal climates. But that's as far as the similarity goes, for in spite of their recently built international airport, the Cooks remain off the beaten path. Even Avarua, the port, capital, and mecca to these 15 islands, is little concerned with tourists. Here there are no buildings taller than the highest palm, no traffic lights, and the people - who speak English with a New Zealand accent - are friendly and don't regard visitors as walking money. All amenities, all reasonable comforts are available, and everything seems to work. You can drink the water, eat the vegetables, be addressed in English, there's no tipping, and happily for Americans the US dollar goes a fairly long way. The natural beauty, particularly on Rarotonga with its forest-covered mountains, verdant coastal plain, and fringing reef, is profound. It'll take your breath away when first seen and some insist that Rarotonga is a miniature English-speaking Tahiti. The population of these islands comes to a mere 18,000. On some of them there are 50 people, on others 700, a few are uninhabited, and, until recently, another had a population of just one. On Rarotonga, the largest island, there are 9,300 people. This independent nation may be small in population, but it is large in area. Cook Islanders are Polynesians, handsome light brown Polynesians, who refer to themselves with pride as the original Maoris - the ones who made the ancient voyage of discovery to New Zealand. They are outgoing people, hospitable and warm, but not nearly as animated as their Tahitian cousins who speak the same language. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Servheen.
