The Time of Our Lives: A Conversation about America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
A conversation about America: who we are, where we've been, and where we need to go now, to recapture the American dream. Tom Brokaw, known and beloved for his landmark work in American journalism and for the New York Times best-sellers The Greatest Generation and Boom!, now turns his attention to the challenges that face America in the new millennium, to offer reflections on how we can restore America’s greatness. “What happened to the America I thought I knew?” Brokaw writes. “Have we simply wandered off course, but only temporarily? Or have we allowed ourselves to be so divided that we’re easy prey for hijackers who could steer us onto a path to a crash landing? ... I do have some thoughts, original and inspired by others, for our journey into the heart of a new century.” Rooted in the values, lessons, and verities of generations past and of his South Dakota upbringing, Brokaw weaves together inspiring stories of Americans who are making a difference and personal stories from his own family history, to engage us in a conversation about our country and to offer ideas for how we can revitalize the promise of the American Dream. Inviting us to foster a rebirth of family, community, and civic engagement as profound as the one that won World War II, built our postwar prosperity, and ushered in the Civil Rights era, Brokaw traces the exciting, unnerving changes in modern life - in values, education, public service, housing, the Internet, and more - that have transformed our society in the decades since the age of thrift in which he was raised. Offering ideas from Americans who are change agents in their communities, in The Time of Our Lives, Brokaw gives us, a wise, honest, and wide-ranging book, a nourishing vision of hopefulness in an age of dimished expectations. ungekürzt.

Le Cirque de la Lune
A Note from the Composer... Ever since I was a child I found myself surrounded by people of the stage, cabaret and concert hall. Such artists have their own special way of watching the world. They embrace their own sense of humor and have an innate grasp of the human comedy. Of course, this droll world-view does not prevent them from bearing, so deep within their souls that it can never be rooted out, the indelible mark of tragedy. When I was ten years old, I secured work in an amusement park. It resembled a miniature city with a circus tent in the middle. For a tongue-tied little boy, it was as though I were caught up in a never-ending magic holiday. Living among the artists, clowns, midgets and musicians, I came to understand fundamental verities that helped transform the way in which I approached the world. I noticed that the clowns were sad, and that they smiled only while wearing make-up. I noticed that the real show began right after the curtain fell, when the artists were together, chatting, celebrating, telling stories, preparing for the next show and living their real lives. For me, the onlooker, the outsider, the audience-voyeur, it was only then that the true lessons were revealed. I was amazed by the sacrifice put into preparing five minutes of entertainment. The hours of rehearsal spent repeating voltas, jumps and illusion tricks, again and again, always again. In the great discipline of the performer, I measured the wonderful range of the human imagination and discovered depthless reservoirs of creativity. Le Cirque de la Lune is my homage to the arts of the circus. I hereby pay tribute to the world of circuses and the people of circuses all around the world. From the small traveling tent show to the Cirque du Soleil extravaganza, let us celebrate the great big global circus family that has enriched all our lives... K. A. J.- Shop: odax
