    Through the Brazilian Wilderness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    A former American president nearly dies during an ill-planned exploration through the Brazilian Wilderness and down the River of Doubt. Theodore Roosevelt was a naturalist, explorer, author, hunter, governor, soldier and 26th President of the United States. In 1913, he joined with Brazilian explorer Candido Rondon to explore portions of Brazil and to bring back animal specimens for the American Museum of Natural History. In this first person narrative, never before recorded as an audio book, President Theodore Roosevelt describes his expedition along rivers, which are home to deadly Piranha fish, through almost impenetrable forests filled with insects, snakes and wild animals. Roosevelt witnesses primitive Indian tribes, wary of strangers and a murder among his increasingly desperate men, before he is nearly defeated by the River of Doubt. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Jimmy Durante Show, Volume 3, Hörbuch, Digital, 295min
    Big-nosed, brash, and boisterous, beloved entertainer Jimmy Durante parlayed a career in vaudeville, nightclubs, and Broadway shows into a radio career highlighted by many successful programs throughout the 1930s and 1940s. After spending the war years paired with crewcutted comic Garry Moore, the Great Schnozzola went solo in 1947 in a hilarious series for Rexall Drugs that also featured Arthur Treacher as his sarcastic British butler, multivoiced character comedians Candy Candido and Elvia Allman, musical numbers by Peggy Lee, and a raft of well-known guest stars. The 12 shows in this collection showcase Durante at his bigger-than-life best, complete with the fractured English, gravel-voiced musical numbers, and warmhearted buffoonery that made him a show business legend. Guest host Frank Morgan; guest host Al Jolson; T-Men; Courtin' Corabelle; The Birthday of Jimmy's Nose; A Night at Ciro's; A Visit to the Race Track; Flying Lessons; Guest Van Johnson; Planning a Vacation. Language: English. Narrator: Jimmy Durante. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/drms/000908/bk_drms_000908_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Literatura e Bíblia (eBook, ePUB)
    Esta obra procura relacionar, de maneira interdisciplinar, a Bíblia Sagrada e a literatura. As relações da literatura com a Bíblia e da Bíblia com a literatura, pelos métodos chamados críticos, adquiriram novos ângulos e enfoques nas últimas décadas. Percebe-se que não há problemas em julgar o texto sagrado como uma suposta inspiração divina, ao mesmo tempo, contemplá-lo por suas belezas literárias e estéticas. Pode-se afirmar que a Bíblia se tornou ao longo dos séculos uma das maiores obras da literatura universal, sendo ela portadora, também, de muitas inspirações artísticas, literárias, cinematográficas e teatrais até os dias atuais. Seu patrimônio histórico, narrativo, metafórico e imaginário tem-se destacado cada vez mais no universo das artes, entre as quais a literária. Por meio de estudo bibliográfico e análise textual, pretende-se estabelecer interlocuções entre a arte literária e a Ciência da Religião, apresentando-se obras de Angela Lago, José Saramago, Wunenburger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gadamer, Northrop Frye, Mircea Eliade, Antonio Candido, Italo Calvino, Walter Brueggemann, Pierre Bourdieu, Erich Auerbach, Robert Alter, entre outros.

    River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey, Hörbuch, Digital, 374min
    At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait, The River of Doubt is the true story of Theodore Roosevelt's harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth. The River of Doubt; it is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-tipped arrows haunt its shadows; piranhas glide through its waters; boulder-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron. After his humiliating election defeat in 1912, Roosevelt set his sights on the most punishing physical challenge he could find, the first descent of an unmapped, rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon. Together with his son Kermit and Brazil's most famous explorer, Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt accomplished a feat so great that many at the time refused to believe it. In the process, he changed the map of the western hemisphere forever. Along the way, Roosevelt and his men faced an unbelievable series of hardships, losing their canoes and supplies to punishing whitewater rapids, and enduring starvation, Indian attack, disease, drowning, and a murder within their own ranks. Three men died, and Roosevelt was brought to the brink of suicide. The River of Doubt brings alive these extraordinary events in a powerful nonfiction narrative thriller that happens to feature one of the most famous Americans who ever lived. From the soaring beauty of the Amazon rain forest to the darkest night of Theodore Roosevelt's life, here is Candice Millard's dazzling debut. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Ferrone.

    The Second Veil: A Tale of the Scattered Earth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
    When Euphrankes Holmynn, Captain of the Airship Vector, approaches the High Council with a plan for launching an airship through The Second Veil, an energy barrier that has protected their planet since the beginning of their collective memories, he is dismissed and banished from the city. The Second Veil, and the First, which is made up of the domed cities and shielded roads of their planet, are the only things protecting the shrinking resources that keep them all alive. When the priests in the Chamber of Stars spot a flaming, alien object on a collision course with their planet, and the city of Urv itself, everything changes; such a disaster could kill thousands. Armed with a brilliant mind and a miraculous new technology, Euphrankes and his team, along with Maester Zins of the airship Axis, must combine forces with the High Council and find a way to save their city, and their planet from a threat unlike any they've ever encountered. The Second Veil is the second novel in The Tales of the Scattered Earth. Filled with fast action, and steampunk technology, this second novel in the popular new series is a perfect follow on to Aaron Rosenberg's Birth of the Dread Remora, widening the over-all story arc of the series. These novels are stand-alone works - they do not need to be read in order. Future books will gather up the ends and tie them all together. Look for a new novella of The Airship Axis and Captain Euphrankes soon, as well as a second full-length Dread Remora novel, and upcoming novels by Steven Savile, Keith R. A. Candido, and Steven Lockley. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Spring. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/000125/bk_acx0_000125_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
