    The Constant Princess: The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1075min
    A new unabridged recording featuring an afterword read by the author! From number-one New York Times best-selling author and “queen of royal fiction” (USA Today) Philippa Gregory comes the remarkable story of Katherine of Aragon, princess of Spain, daughter of two great monarchs, and eventual queen of England when she marries the infamous King Henry VIII. Daughter of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, Katherine has been fated her whole life to marry Prince Arthur of England. When they meet and are married, the match becomes as passionate as it is politically expedient. The young lovers revel in each other’s company and plan the England they will make together. But tragically, aged only 15, Arthur falls ill and extracts from his 16-year-old bride a deathbed promise to marry his brother, Henry; become queen; and fulfill their dreams and her destiny. Widowed and alone in the avaricious world of the Tudor court, Katherine has to sidestep her father-in-law’s desire for her and convince him, and an incredulous Europe, that her marriage to Arthur was never consummated, that there is no obstacle to marriage with Henry. For seven years, she endures the treachery of spies, the humiliation of poverty, and intense loneliness and despair while she waits for the inevitable moment when she will step into the role she has prepared for all her life. Then, like her warrior mother, Katherine must take to the battlefield and save England when its old enemies the Scots come over the border and there is no one to stand against them but the new queen.  ungekürzt.

    Walden and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience (2 Books) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
    Book One, Walden Economy When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months. At present, I am a sojourner in civilized life again. BOOK TWO, ON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe, "That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for, in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure. ungekürzt.

    The Lotus Sutra: The White Lotus Sutra of the True Dharma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 723min
    The Lotus Sūtra is one of the most important Mahāyāna texts and the most widely read, chanted and revered, particularly in Asian Buddhist countries, notably China and Japan. It is the root text, so to speak, of the ‘Pure Land’ schools, which often regard it as the principal Buddhist sutra, the study and practice of which projects the participant along the path to nirvana. It is certainly a remarkable document, replete with the Mahāyāna characteristics of fantastical images, extraordinary appearances, magical happenings, views of time and space which are galactic in size and pronouncements which are definite, unequivocal, practical in some areas and dependent upon a faith commitment in others. First and foremost, it proclaims the one yāna or vehicle of the Mahāyāna teaching as preeminent over other teachings, especially those following the paths of the śravakayāna (the hearers - the bhikshus) and the pratyekabuddhas (those attaining enlightenment through a solitary path) but also the lay men and lay women. These are the ‘four classes of assembly’ who, according the Lotus Sūtra, have been following the ‘preliminary’ teachings presented by the Buddha Śakyamuni as an ‘expedient’ (skilful means). The Lotus Sūtra sees the Buddha, teaching from the Gridhrakuta, the Vulture Peak, the full teaching of the Mahāyāna which leads unerringly (if over aeons in larger numbers than the sands of the Ganges!) to nirvāna. Contained within the 27 chapters are many of the principal Buddhist teachings seen in all the schools across the world: the four noble truths, the 12 nidāna chain, the six paramitās or perfections; again and again the qualities of mindfulness, diligence, patience and spiritual vigour or energy are propounded - without these, nirvāna is not attainable. In short, the path to enlightenment is not for the faint-hearted. Around these core teachings are magical stories of numerous Buddhas from different time eras appearing to support the teach ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Taradasa.

    Martin Van Buren: A Captivating Guide to the Man Who Served as the Eighth President of the United States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
    Explore the captivating life of Martin Van Buren   History chiefly remembers Martin Van Buren as the eighth president of the United States (1837– 1841). He was also, however, notable for achieving many firsts in American politics. He was the first American president to be born a citizen of the country, and not a British subject. He was the first Dutchman and the first man without Anglo-Saxon ancestry to serve as president. He was the first and only American president to have been raised in a language other than English. He was also the first New Yorker to ascend to the Oval Office in the White House, at a time when Manhattan was becoming the urban heart of a future America (as it is today). Historians have also recognized him as the first "professional politician" to occupy the presidential seat. His expressed capacity for political intrigue, strategic pragmatism, and politically expedient “non-committalism” has earned him his fair share of critics and detractors.   The darkness of his times (the first depression, the question of slavery, the forceful relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands) easily come to mind, but America was also hurtling towards the future we live in during Van Buren’s reign. The seeds of the modernity we recognize so well - railway networks, democracy, the printing press - were sowed in his era.  Six small townships and cities - in Maine, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas - still bear his surname. To understand the history of American politics, one must understand Van Buren’s often overlooked legacy. This audiobook will give you an in-depth understanding of this man, born a tavern owner's son, who became one of the founders of the Democratic Party.

    Urban Survival Handbook: A Prepper's Guide to Canning and Preserving for an Emergency: How to Survive Your First Disaster , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
    In any disaster, food is of upmost importance when it comes to survival. Whether if all of the nearby supermarkets have vanished or you are stranded - protecting food and preserving supplies is crucial. Canning and Preserving for an Emergency Knowing how to pressurize, seal, and protect jars and various containers will prolong the expiration of the item stored inside. Keep your food fresh and eat well. Enjoy the tasty recipes we have included as well such as our carrots and tomatoes. Many people want to be prepared in case of an emergency. An emergency that would render them without access to any source of food. Call it a war, a terrorist act, a hail, a severe storm, a typhoon, a whirlwind, or any other expression of the power of nature and the human...idiosyncrasy (...to put it mildly). Some of them prefer to raid the super markets and get their hands on any form of tin can they can lay their hands on, store it in the basement, and leave it there to be used when and if it ever became necessary. While this might be an easy and expedient solution, it's neither the healthiest, nor the tastiest, nor the best thing for your finances. Especially if you face medical conditions that would make the consumption of salt a dangerous proposition. However, an increasing number of people have decided to be prepared on one hand, but not to take the risk of eating food of bad quality and cooked in a most displeasing way on the other. The Urban Survival Handbook: A Peppers Guide to Canning and Preserving for an Emergency: How to Survive Your First Disaster is a book specially addressed to them. And, of course, anyone else who may choose to forego tasting industrial food. In it, you will find everything you need to know. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Jones.
