The Last Jew: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1626min
Innovative novelist Yoram Kaniuk takes us from the scorched earth of midcentury Europe to the arid plains of the Holy Land to the urban bustle of the American Diaspora, compressing the rise and fall of the Jews into the enigmatic character of one Ebenezer Schneerson. Following the ravages of World War II, Ebenezer finds that although he has no recollection of his family or childhood, he can, at will, recite Einstein's theory of relativity, the entire canon of Yiddish poetry, and the genealogical histories of any number of extinguished shtetls; he has somehow become the final repository for all of Jewish culture. Samuel Lipker, a fellow survivor and crass opportunist, makes money off of Ebenezer's macabre talents, trotting him around Europe to regale spooked cabaret audiences with his uncanny memory. Appearing in English for the first time, The Last Jew is an ingenious tapestry alive with narrative acrobatics and stylistic audacity. Alternately tragic, absurd, heartbreaking, and bitter - not unlike the Bible itself - it is a profound exploration of Jewish identity and the multitude of disparate, often contradictory shapes it has taken in the last century. ungekürzt.

Commander of the Exodus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most inventive, brilliant novelists in the Western world," internationally renowned Israeli writer Yoram Kaniuk turns his hand to nonfiction to bring us his most important work yet. Commander of the Exodus animates the story of Yossi Harel, a modern-day Moses who defied the blockade of the British Mandate to deliver more than 24,000 displaced Holocaust survivors to Palestine while the rest of the world (including the United States) closed its doors.Of the four expeditions commanded by Harel between 1946 and 1948, the voyage of the Exodus left the deepest impression on public consciousness, quickly becoming a beacon for Zionism and a symbol to all that neither guns, cannons, nor warships could stand in the way of the human need for a home. With grace and sensitivity, Kaniuk shows the human face of history.He pays homage to the young Israeli who was motivated not by politics or personal glory, but by the pleading eyes of the orphaned children languishing on the shores of Europe. Commander of the Exodus is both an unforgettable tribute to the heroism of the dispossessed and a rich evocation of the vision and daring of a man who took it upon himself to reverse the course of history. ungekürzt.

Conservatism: A Rediscovery
The idea that American conservatism is identical to "classical" liberalism-widely held since the 1960s-is seriously mistaken. The award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain-the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world. Conservatism: A Rediscovery explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution. After tracing the tradition from the Wars of the Roses to Burke and across the Atlantic to the American Federalists and Lincoln, Hazony describes the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the present-day debates between neoconservatives and national conservatives over how to respond to liberalism and the woke left. Going where no political thinker has gone in decades, Hazony provides a fresh theoretical foundation for conservatism. Rejecting the liberalism of Hayek, Strauss, and the "fusionists" of the 1960s, and drawing on decades of personal experience in the conservative movement, he argues that a revival of authentic Anglo-American conservatism is possible in the twenty-first century.- Shop: buecher

Edgar
Die Veröffentlichung von Puccinis Oper Edgar aus Turin 2008 ist eine Weltpremiere. Seit der Uraufführung 1889 im Teatro alla Scala und zwei weiteren sich anschließenden Aufführungen konnte man die Oper auf keinem Spielplan internationaler Opernhäuser entdecken. In dieser Produktion, inszeniert von Lorenzo Mariani, fand sie jedoch eine späte Wiederentdeckung, die nur durch die Bearbeitung des 4. Aktes durch die Puccini-Expertin Linda B. Fairtile realisiert werden konnte. Als Grundlage für die Rekonstruktion diente ein Klavierauszug, den Puccini nach dem Misserfolg der Oper komponierte und somit konnte die originale Instrumentation wieder hergestellt werden. Eine Sensation - erleben Sie nun die 119 Jahre verschollene Oper auf DVD! José Cura muss sich als Held Edgar zwischen zwei Frauen entscheiden: der verführerischen Tigrana, interpretiert von Julia Gertseva, die alles daran setzt Edgar für sich zu gewinnen und der zerbrechlichen Fidelia, gesungen von Amarilli Nizza, die am Ende aus Rachsucht von Tigrana ermordet wird. Die musikalische Leitung hat Yoram David inne.- Shop: odax
