The Financial Lives of the Poets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
Meet Matt Prior. He's about to lose his job, his wife, his house, maybe his mind. Unless... In the winning and utterly original novels Citizen Vince and The Zero, Jess Walter ("a ridiculously talented writer" - New York Times) painted an America all his own: a land of real, flawed, and deeply human characters coping with the anxieties of their times. Now, in his warmest, funniest, and best novel yet, Walter offers a story as real as our own lives: a tale of overstretched accounts, misbegotten schemes, and domestic dreams deferred. A few years ago, small-time finance journalist Matthew Prior quit his day job to gamble everything on a quixotic notion: a Web site devoted to financial journalism in the form of blank verse. When his big idea - and his wife's eBay resale business - ends with a whimper (and a garage full of unwanted figurines), they borrow and borrow, whistling past the graveyard of their uncertain dreams. One morning Matt wakes up to find himself jobless, hobbled with debt, spying on his wife's online flirtation, and six days away from losing his home. Is this really how things were supposed to end up for me, he wonders: staying up all night worried, driving to 7-Eleven in the middle of the night to get milk for his boys, and falling in with two local degenerates after they offer him a hit of high-grade marijuana? Or, he thinks, could this be the solution to all my problems? Following Matt in his weeklong quest to save his marriage, his sanity, and his dreams, The Financial Lives of the Poets is a hysterical, heartfelt novel about how we can reach the edge of ruin - and how we can begin to make our way back. ungekürzt.

Leonora in the Morning Light
For fans of Amy Bloom's White Houses and Colm Tóibín's The Master, a page-turning novel about Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington and the art, drama, and romance that defined her coming-of-age during World War II.London, 1937: Leonora Carrington is a twenty-year-old on the cusp of independence, discovering her own creative powers as a painter, when she falls into a turbulent, passionate love affair with Max Ernst, a married artist twenty-six years older. Determined to break free from her family's upper-class expectations, she follows him to Paris, where she is thrust into the vibrant, revolutionary world of studios and cafes, where rising visionaries of the Surrealist movement, like Andre Breton, Pablo Picasso, Lee Miller, Man Ray, and Salvador Dali, are challenging conventional approaches to art and life. Inspired by their freedom, Leonora begins to experiment with her own work, translating vivid stories of her youth onto canvas and gaining recognition under her own name-until, suddenly, the shadow of war and occupation begins to spread over Europe, and headlines emerge denouncing Max and his circle as "degenerates."Forced to flee France, Max and Leonora are separated, but both begin remarkable journeys that will shape them as artists and individuals. On the run from an internment camp, Max seeks the aid of Peggy Guggenheim, who is helping artists escape from the Nazis, while Leonora, once trapped in a Spanish asylum, begins to claim her identity and unleash the quiet, inner power that will eventually make her one of the most influential women of our time.Based on true events and historical figures, Leonora in the Morning Light is an unforgettable story of love, art, and destiny that restores a twentieth-century heroine to her rightful place.- Shop: buecher

Criminal Gaslighter (Personal Support Included): Toxic Others, Book 29 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
Is your guy sly like a fox? Is he mischievous like Wile E. Coyote? Is he an opportunist?Most of us don’t realize it, but we have been exploited by a criminal gaslighter at one point or another in our lives. Maybe he is working with us. Maybe he was our teacher in high school. Maybe he was the pastor at our church. Some of us are sleeping next to a criminal gaslighter in our bed. You may not know this fact: Not all criminals are made. Many criminals are born to be criminals. The born criminal gaslighter, according to Lombroso’s Theory of Crime, is classified as "a mentally defective person who, from tendency and opportunity, becomes associated with the criminal class."To deny that this person has criminal tendencies because we like "bad boys" who excite us is to put us directly in the line of fire of someone who doesn’t care about harming us or the people around us that we are responsible for keeping safe (our children and aging parents). These individuals are considered "degenerates"; an immoral person, or a person with immoral behavior. They are impaired by virtue and morally perverted according to the legal system we use to imprison such individuals; many of them are never caught in their malevolence because no one can police a world with over seven billion people in it. In denying that these individuals seek to exploit and manipulate and steal and injure us, we are aiding them in their criminality and their bent toward getting ahead by malevolent means.In 1889, a book called The Criminal referred to these as people suffering from "congenital criminality". Children who were born with an especially naughty streak. Those who would not stop being criminal even if they were caught and punished severely. Those who could not stop being criminal because they....Download now to hear more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lora.

Dissecting the Hitler Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
Sex, violent childhood, fear, fits of rage, belief in destiny: They all played a part in creating the personality of Adolf Hitler. What secrets were in Hitler's life? Psychoanalysis has proven that a person's adult life is determined by his or her childhood. This is the method used to reverse-engineer Hitler in this professional psychological analysis. It looks at his adult life and determines what led him to be the person he became. It reveals many previously unknown characteristics plus it makes many predictions which came true. Uncover Hitler's sexual deviance, rage responses, mother conflicts, fear of Jewish heritage, fascination with war, feeling that fate had destined him for greatness, feelings of guilt and disgust at his own desires, obsession with poison, and more. Why did Hitler only mention one of his siblings in Mein Kampf? Why was he always the leader in childhood games? What is the mysterious secret behind the "first more or less political activity" he mentions in Mein Kampf? Did Hitler work as a spy within the army? Why was every 10th man in Hitler's barracks shot while Hitler was asked to stand aside? When did his character transform during his career? How did a man who openly condemned homosexuals as degenerates and ordered their imprisonment associate himself with known homosexuals like Hess and Rohm at the highest level? Was Hitler insane or was he something else, something closer to us all? All these questions and more are answered in this accurate and revealing analysis of Hitlers mind. This declassified government sponsored report correctly predicted Adolf Hitler's degeneration and eventual suicide and much more. This report is considered to be a masterpiece of "psycho-historical reconstruction". Based on what we know today, the conclusions are frighteningly accurate. Dr. Langer combined a careful study of documents and other writings about Hitler and personal interviews with informa ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Smith.

Shiva Mantra Magick: Harnessing The Primordial , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja, or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution. He is by far one of the most ancient of the Hindu gods, there are hints of him in the Vedas, and this form is often called "proto-Shiva". In his current incarnation he is part of the Hindu Trinity that is comprised of the gods Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva's name means "the auspicious one". Shiva is the god of creation, destruction, and regeneration. It is for this reason his mantras are so powerful; they are multipurpose and can serve the magician in any way he or she sees fit. Although most deities that I work with are female, Shiva is the only exception. He has been my patron for decades. I even have a tattoo of his image on my back. He is very close to me. Often Shiva is associated with unbridled sexuality, eccentricity, and nirvanic states. He has all these within himself. He is no doubt a figure that would be interpreted in the west as the embodiment of all that is evil, sinful, and dark. This reputation is not helped by the fact many of his followers are known to perform actions that are often shocking and even downright lewd. They do this not because they are degenerates, but because they are trying to prove a point. In many ways, Shiva is the god of the outcasts. Shiva will challenge you in ways other gods will not. He will force you to go deep into your nature. If you are not introspective, Shiva will and can be a nightmare for you. He will force you to break open. His mantras are often recited when people need help. All problems you may have, be they physical, mental or spiritual he can help you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Baal Kadmon.

Leonora in the Morning Light
*One of Oprah Daily's Most Anticipated Historical Fiction Novels That Will Sweep You Away* "Michaela Carter's training as a poet and painter shines through from the first page of this vivid, gorgeous novel based on the lives of Leonora Carrington and Max Ernst. Told with all the wild magic and mystery of the Surrealists themselves, Leonora in the Morning Light fearlessly illuminates the life and work of a formidable female artist." —Whitney Scharer, bestselling author of The Age of Light For fans of Amy Bloom's White Houses and Colm Tóibín's The Master, a "gorgeously written, meticulously researched" (Jillian Cantor, bestselling author of Half Life) novel about Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington and the art, drama, and romance that defined her coming-of-age during World War II. 1940. A train carrying exiled German prisoners from a labor camp arrives in southern France. Within moments, word spreads that Nazi capture is imminent, and the men flee for the woods, desperate to disappear across the Spanish border. One stays behind, determined to ride the train until he reaches home, to find a woman he refers to simply as "her." 1937. Leonora Carrington is a twenty-year-old British socialite and painter when she meets Max Ernst, an older, married artist whose work has captivated Europe. She follows him to Paris, into the vibrant world of studios and cafes where rising visionaries of the Surrealist movement like Andre Breton, Pablo Picasso, Lee Miller, Man Ray, and Salvador Dali are challenging conventional approaches to art and life. Inspired by their freedom, Leonora begins to experiment with her own work, translating vivid stories of her youth onto canvas and gaining recognition under her own name. It is a bright and glorious age of enlightenment—until war looms over Europe and headlines emerge denouncing Max and his circle as "degenerates," leading to his arrest and imprisonment. Left along as occupation spreads throughout the countryside, Leonora battles terrifying circumstances to survive, reawakening past demons that threaten to consume her. As Leonora and Max embark on remarkable journeys together and apart, the full story of their tumultuous and passionate love affair unfolds, spanning time and borders as they seek to reunite and reclaim their creative power in a world shattered by war. When their paths cross with Peggy Guggenheim, an art collector and socialite working to help artists escape to America, nothing will be the same. Based on true events and historical figures, Leonora in the Morning Light is "a deeply involving historical tale of tragic lost love, determined survival, the sanctuary of art, and the evolution of a muse into an artist of powerfully provocative feminist expression" (Booklist, starred review).- Shop: buecher
