The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 936min
Babe Ruth was more than baseball's original superstar. For 85 years, he has remained the sport's reigning titan. He has been named Athlete of the Century...more than once. But who was this large, loud, enigmatic man? Why is so little known about his childhood, his private life, and his inner thoughts? In The Big Bam, Leigh Montville, whose recent New York Times best-selling biography of Ted Williams garnered glowing reviews and offered an exceptionally intimate look at Williams's life, brings his trademark touch to this groundbreaking, revelatory portrait of the Babe. Based on newly discovered documents and interviews, including pages from Ruth's personal scrapbooks, The Big Bam traces Ruth's life from his bleak childhood in Baltimore to his brash entrance into professional baseball, from Boston to New York and into the record books as the world's most explosive slugger and cultural luminary. At a time when modern baseball is grappling with hyper-inflated salaries, free agency, and assorted controversies, The Big Bam brings back the pure glory days of the game. Leigh Montville operates at the peak of his abilities, exploring Babe Ruth in a way that intimately, and poignantly, illuminates a most remarkable figure. ungekürzt. Language: English.

As You Like It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
Another powerful, great British performance of a William Shakespeare play. Performed by the magnificent Vanessa Redgrave and cast. As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599 or early 1600 and first published in the folio of 1623. The work was based upon the early prose romance Rosalynde by Thomas Lodge. The play's first performance is uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility. As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin, Celia, and Touchstone, the court jester, to find safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden. Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the work of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works and some finding the play a work of great merit. The play features one of Shakespeare's most famous and oft-quoted speeches, "All the world's a stage," and is the origin of the phrase "too much of a good thing." The play remains a favourite among audiences and has been adapted for radio, film, and musical theatre. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Redgrave.

Flooded with panic, two words burst through Erin’s mind: GET HELP. She ran for the door, but someone grabbed her, twisted her arm behind her. Erin’s shriek was smothered by a cold, clammy hand. “Shhh—” Breath tickled her ear—“Just take it easy….” Surrounded by the oppressive sand, heat, and tension of Operation Desert Storm, soldiers Erin Grayson and Christina McIntyre shared a special bond. But when an ugly secret from Chris’ past shattered their close friendship, they went their separate ways without even a goodbye. Four years have gone by since that day in the desert, but Chris has spent her entire life running from the past, hiding her deepest secrets from those who care for her most. And now tragedy has ripped apart her life. She sees no hope in tomorrow. It’s a good day to die…. Overcoming her own anger and doubt, Erin rushes to Chris’ Colorado cabin. When Chris’ fear of God and Erin’s faith in Him collide, they are involved in a different kind of war that only one of them can win.

Der Reinfall: Brigitte Edition Männer 10, Hörbuch, Digital, 279min
Der Reinfall" ist das Porträt eines dilettantischen Betrügers und Mörders. Chaz wirft seine Frau Joey auf einer Schiffsreise kurzerhand über Bord, als er argwöhnt, sie könnte seinen krummen Geschichten auf die Schliche kommen. Doch Chaz ist auch als Mörder ein Stümper - Joey überlebt und macht ihrem Mann das Leben so lange zur Hölle, bis man am Ende fast Mitleid mit ihm empfindet. Ein großes Hörvergnügen. Jan Josef Liefers hat beim Lesen offenbar viel Spaß am Scheitern des Antihelden. Genüsslich berichtet er von missglückten Mordversuchen, erzählt mit Begeisterung, wie sich das Gewirr von Lügen und Widersprüchen immer enger zusammenzieht, bis nur noch der Zufall helfen kann. Der Sprecher: Jan Josef Liefers, 1964 in Dresden geboren, ging gleich nach der Wiedervereinigung ans Hamburger Thalia Theater und wurde 1997 mit zwei Rollen zum Kinostar: als neurotischer Poet in Helmut Dietls "Rossini" und als unheilbar Kranker an der Seite von Til Schweiger in "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". "Tatort"-Zuschauer lieben ihn als ebenso kompetenten wie komischen Münsteraner Gerichtsmediziner an der Seite von Axel Prahl. Auf seinen Brigitte-Lesungen mit T.C. Boyle und als Interpret vieler Hörbücher hat Liefers auch als Sprecher begeistert. Der Autor: Carl Hiaasen, 1953 in der Nähe von Fort Lauderdale, Florida, geboren, arbeitet seit über 30 Jahren als investigativer Reporter und Kolumnist für den "Miami Herald". Auch in seinen Romanen nimmt er bevorzugt skrupellose Geschäftemacher, Touristen-Nepper und Umweltzerstörer aufs Korn. Seine Geschichten bestechen durch schwarzen Humor, skurrile Fantasie und eine Spannung, die man sonst nur von klassischen "Whodunnit?"-Thrillern kennt. deutsch.

The Art of Being Unreasonable: Lessons in Unconventional Thinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 323min
Unorthodox success principles from a billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist. Eli Broad's embrace of "unreasonable thinking" has helped him build two Fortune 500 companies, amass personal billions, and use his wealth to create a new approach to philanthropy. He has helped to fund scientific research institutes, K-12 education reform, and some of the world's greatest contemporary art museums. By contrast, "reasonable" people come up with all the reasons something new and different can't be done, because, after all, no one else has done it that way. This book shares the "unreasonable" principles - from negotiating to risk-taking, from investing to hiring - that have made Eli Broad such a success. Broad helped to create the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Broad Contemporary Art Museum at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and The Broad, a new museum being built in downtown Los Angeles. His investing approach to philanthropy has led to the creation of scientific and medical research centers in the fields of genomic medicine and stem-cell research. At his alma mater, Michigan State University, he endowed a full-time MBA program, and he and his wife have funded a new contemporary art museum on campus to serve the broader region. Eli Broad is the founder of two Fortune 500 companies: KB Home and SunAmerica. If you're stuck doing what reasonable people do - and not getting anywhere - let Eli Broad show you how to be unreasonable, and see how far your next endeavor can go. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Aging Father: Life and Legacy of the Patriarch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
As we age, our roles as fathers change. Like all relationships, fatherhood is not a static experience, nor is it easily described, and at times the path is unclear and confusing. How do we relate to daughters and sons as they mature? As teenagers? As adults? As caretakers and heads of their own families? How does one best find joy in their accomplishments and our hand in them? And how do we come to terms with their failures, which can so often feel like our own?Believe it or not, there are answers, and with a little humor, plenty of understanding, and 50 years' experience, eminent authority in the field of development and master clinician Cal Colarusso, M.D., will ease your mind and answer your questions. He will guide you in exploration of the evolving role of the elderly father, from King Lear to your peers; the developmental tasks of late adulthood and how they interact (and sometimes interfere) with healthy familial relationships; and much more. The Older Father: Life and Legacy of the Patriarch gives clear, familiar examples of the importance of understanding the experiences that mark the life of a father in his later years and provides a firm foundation for appreciating and recognizing the trials and joys of this significant stage of life. This book encourages the older father to: Relinquish his wished-for role of Paterfamilias Deal with his mortality Come to terms with his disappointments in the imperfections of children and grandchildren Take credit for imparting desirable traits and behaviors to his children/grandchildren/mentees. Stay vital and fully invested in his relationships. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ken Maxon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/000729/bk_acx0_000729_sample.mp3.

Frederick the Great , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min
Frederick the Great, king of Prussia from 1740 to 1786, was one of the most remarkable men of the 18th century. Born the son of strict disciplinarian Frederick William I in 1712, he was a most precocious and obstinate young man, and until he actually became king, he never exhibited any signs of becoming a military genius. But the young king displayed an amazing aptitude for military life and plunged into war with Austria over the long-disputed province of Silesia. The next 30 years of his life were consumed in wars against Austria, France, Russia, Sweden, and even England at times. After the Seven Years' War, the Prussian military acquired a formidable reputation across Europe. Esteemed for its efficiency and success in battle, the Prussian army of Frederick became a model emulated by other European powers, most notably by Russia and France, the latter of which quickly applied the lessons of Frederick's military tactics under the direction of Napoleon Bonaparte. The most remarkable thing about Frederick’s life was his devotion to the arts, literature, and architecture. French alone was spoken at his court. He was a gifted musician, an admirer of Bach, and composed over 100 pieces for flute. His love of philosophy attracted thinkers from all over Europe, including Voltaire. Frederick became the very model of the enlightened despot. He promoted freedom of religion and was more tolerant of freedom of expression than other sovereigns. When Frederick’s wars were over, he promoted trade and colonization into areas left devastated and depopulated by war. His brilliant organizational abilities bore fruit very quickly, and by the end of Frederick’s life, Prussia had become a very prosperous kingdom. Listeners are urged to seek online sources for maps of the many battles described in this book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.
