    Mister's Miss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min, (USK 18)
    You walk in through the café’s double doors and immediately notice the man named Mister giving you the once-over with his ogling eyes. You stand in line and stare back with a half-smile to acknowledge his attention. You like what you see, and so does he. As his proper seriousness turns sultry, he sends back a noteworthy smile that stretches from coast to coast. With a room full of chatty guests oblivious to your heated exchange, you are caught off guard when Mister lets you have a peek into his bare-naked soul. Then Mister provocatively swaggers over, gracefully puts his hand on yours, and strongly urges you to follow him forward on this hot, intimate journey of erotica. Mister was never as bold as that, but after experiencing a powerful déjà-vu-like dream, he was emotionally free enough to be just like that. The darkness and self-confinement of yesterday had vanished, and now, Mister is a full-throttled tease willing to go anywhere and do anything to find, get, and keep his sexual soul mate. Using 19th-century gentlemanly charm and 21st-century technology, he will get his Miss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Courtney Grace.

    Everest - The First Ascent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 875min
    On 29 May, 1953, the summit of Mount Everest was finally reached. The achievement brought fame and honours to many involved - except the man who made the ascent possible. Now, for the first time, drawing upon previously unseen diaries and letters, rare archive material and interviews, Everest - The First Ascent tells the remarkable story of Griffith Pugh, the forgotten team member whose scientific breakthroughs ensured the world’s highest mountain could be climbed. A doctor and physiologist, Griffith Pugh revolutionised almost every aspect of British high-altitude mountaineering, transforming the climbers’ attitude to oxygen, the clothes they wore, their equipment, fluid intake, and acclimatisation. Yet, far from receiving the acclaim he was due, he was met with suspicion and ridicule. His scientific contributions were, quite simply, at odds with old-fashioned notions of derring-do and the gentlemanly amateurism that dogged the sport. This insightful biography shows Pugh to be troubled, abrasive, yet brilliant. Eight years in the writing, closely researched, and told with unflinching honesty by Pugh’s daughter, Harriet Tuckey, Everest - The First Ascent is the compelling portrait of an unlikely hero. ungekürzt.

    Grown at Glen Garden: How Golf Legends Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson Got Their Starts at the Same Course , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
    Learn about these golf legends as they were learning to master the game on their home turf. In Grown at Glen Garden, the early friendship of Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson is shown, from their caddying days at Glen Garden Country Club to their chummy rivalry at the Masters decades later. With a peek at their family backgrounds, the story shows both the hardships and joys of growing up and learning to golf in Fort Worth, Texas, in the 1920s. The two golf pros were not alike in personality; Hogan was always a quiet and private person, whereas Nelson had a reputation for being very friendly and open. Hogan and Nelson grew close due to their shared passion for golf, their later professional careers, and the friendship between their wives, Valerie Hogan and Louise Nelson. Today, Hogan leaves behind a legacy as the greatest-known ball striker and the second player to win all four of the major golf championships, and Byron Nelson is known for his gentlemanly conduct (leading to the nickname "Lord Byron") and an unbeaten 11-tournament streak with 18 total wins in 1945. Follow these golfing stars from their early days in the sport to their successful pro careers, and meet the people behind the legends. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Liam O'Brien.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 590: Susie's and Bryan Cranston's Big Sex Scene, Hörbuch, Digital, 31min, (USK 18)
    It's true! Susie coached Breaking Bad's "Walter White" (Bryan Cranston) on the proper way to do an erotic love scene. It was 1994, and Susie was working on a movie as a writer. She was asked to help two actors who were rehearsing a very steamy scene. Susie remembers how sweet and gentlemanly Bryan Cranston was back then. She kept giving him pointers on how to get nastier and sexier. Looks like Susie's coaching really helped him to find his inner Walter. Next, Susie shares a recent interview she did with Slantthere.com. They were interested in Susie's take on contemporary sexual politics. The discussion ranged from Internet porn and misperceptions about erotica to the deadliness of prudery. Finally, from the "Try This at Home" mailbag, a letter requiring an urgent reply: "Do kinky lovers use S/M to avoid real intimacy?" Wow, does Susie have a lot to say about that! Have a question?

    Cary Grant: A Class Apart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min
    For two moviegoing generations, Cary Grant was class—an effortless embodiment of gentlemanly grace and humor. But Cary Grant’s greatest achievement was in creating himself and the irresistible character he became. In this savvy, fascinating portrait, McCann tracks the transformation of a life and looks closely at the sources of Cary Grant’s charms, which did not come easily. Generously filled with anecdotes about fellow actors and directors, a realistic portrait of a complicated man emerges. And although Grant was criticized for remaining in Hollywood during World War II, it now seems that he may have worked as a special agent for British Intelligence: in 1947, Grant was awarded the King’s Medal for Service in the Cause for Freedom, an honor that was not made public at the time. One of classic Hollywood’s definitive leading men, Cary Grant was named one of the greatest male stars of all time by the American Film Institute. This biography yields a new appreciation of his work and his persona, which was at once familiar, yet always enigmatic, even to those who knew him best. Graham McCann was educated at King’s College, Cambridge. His books include Marilyn Monroe: The Body in the Library, Woody Allen: New Yorker, and Rebel Males: Clift, Brando, and Dean. A fellow and lecturer at Cambridge for twelve years, he now writes full time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner.

    The Italian Renaissance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    In all of human history there has never been an era as richly endowed with human creativity as the Italian Renaissance. When the economic boom of the Late Middle Ages had allowed a flourishing and wealthy merchant class to emerge, a plethora of artists, sculptors, architects, and thinkers followed in their wake. In an astonishingly short period of time, Italy was transformed mentally, physically, and spiritually. Powerful commercial centers like Florence, Venice, and Milan became independent. Artists like Michaelangelo and Cellini threw off the customs of the past and forged new symbols of Man, while others, like the gentle aristocrat Baldassare Castiglione, were attempting to civilize the behavior of society with gentlemanly manners. From north to south, Italian cities were literally reborn with an energy and enthusiasm that has never repeated itself anywhere. This great historical essay tells you why this extraordinary event occurred and why it finally died out, though its effects lasted hundreds of years. Ironically, all the great pomp and splendor of the Italian Renaissance was accompanied by some of the worst violence and mayhem that Italy has ever experienced. In the midst of splendor unheard of, men murdered, stole, raped, lied, and cuckolded friend and foe. Horrible torture, brutal war, and poisonous political intrigue went hand in hand with the most sumptuous artistic and literary output in European history. Follow this incredible story to understand the Italian Renaissance in ways you never conceived. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.
