    Motherlunge is an eloquent and irreverent debut audiobook about first sex, true love, chronic sibling rivalry; it's about the deepest fear of young (and not-so-young) adulthood: the fear of inheriting a disappointing life. It's motherly advice, too - featuring wigs, dogs, road trips, and medicine - a guide to the essential experiences of being female, "born unto a librarian, named for the goddess of sight", waiting for the future to arrive. With sly wit and surprising joy, Motherlunge considers the flaws in the family line and celebrates the promise that staggers alongside. Funny and smart…in Thea and those around her Scott has created characters we believe in and wish well, characters who feel real - strange and sad and happy, like real people are. ungekürzt.

    This is a history of the Russian revolution reported by an American journalist Rheta Louise Childe Dorr. As Door confessed in the introductory chapter of her work, she was educated in the spirit of the French Revolution and was inspired by socialist ideas. This made her come to Russia to become a part and an eyewitness of the revolution against tzarism. Yet, the events in Russia were totally disappointing: "I saw a working class which had been oppressed under czardom itself turn oppressor; an army that had been starved and betrayed use its freedom to starve and betray its own people. I saw elected delegates to the people's councils turn into sneak thieves and looters. I saw law and order and decency and all regard for human life or human rights set aside, and I saw responsible statesmen in power allow all this to go on." Based on the events she witnessed, Dorr created this rare historical account of the horrible side of the Russian revolution, which became an essential source for accurate historical information and a revelation for people living a century after those events.
