The Yellow House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
Winner of The Australian/Vogel’s Literary Award Even before I knew anything about Granddad Les, Wally and me sometimes dared each other to see how close to the knackery we could get. It was way out in the bottom paddock, and Dad had banned us from going further than the dam. Wally said it was because the whole paddock was haunted. He said he could see ghosts wisping in the grass like sheets blown from the washing line. But even then I knew for sure that was a lie. Ten-year-old Cub lives with her parents, older brother Cassie, and twin brother Wally on a lonely property bordering an abandoned cattle farm and knackery. Their lives are shadowed by the infamous actions of her Granddad Les in his yellow weatherboard house, just over the fence. Although Les died 12 years ago, his notoriety has grown in Cub’s lifetime, and the local community have ostracised the whole family. When Cub’s estranged aunt Helena and cousin Tilly move next door into the yellow house, the secrets the family want to keep buried begin to bubble to the surface. And having been kept in the dark about her grandfather’s crimes, Cub is now forced to come to terms with her family’s murky history. The Yellow House is a powerful novel about loyalty and betrayal, about the legacies of violence and the possibilities of redemption. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Danielle Baynes.

The HMS Wager: The History of the 18th Century's Most Famous Shipwreck and Mutiny , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
Whereas upon a General Consultation, it has been agreed to go from this Place through the Streights of Magellan, for the coast of Brazil, in our way for England: We do, notwithstanding, find the People separating into Parties, which must consequently end in the Destruction of the whole Body; and as also there have been great robberies committed on the Stores and every Thing is now at a Stand; therefore, to prevent all future Frauds and Animosoties, we are unanimously agreed to proceed as above-mentioned. - John Bulkley, gunner on the HMS Wager "I cannot suppose the Captain will refuse the signing of it; but he is so self-willed, the best step we can take, is to put him under arrest for the killing of Mr. Cozens. In this case I will, with your approbation, assume command. Then our affairs will be concluded to the satisfaction of the whole company, without being any longer liable to the obstruction they now meet from the Captain's perverseness and chicanery." - Lieutenant Robert Baynes, second-in-command on the HMS Wager Mention the 18th century Royal Navy and visions come to mind of swashbuckling sailors swinging from rope to rope while a red-faced captain in an even redder coat and a powdered wig shouts order and pitches fits. Such visions, largely shaped by Hollywood pictures such as the popular Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, naturally fail to do full justice to a group of men who functioned, with little direction and even less support, on the seas for years at a time. Disney may enjoy portraying them sitting down to sumptuous feasts or cavorting with scantily clad native girls, but the opposite was true. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Norman.

Modern Man in Search of a Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 551min
This collection of 11 wide-ranging lectures which appeared originally in 1933 was based on lectures previously given when Jung was in the process of absorbing a considerable period of study of Eastern religions, Gnosticism and other religious sources. It was a time, according to the translator Cary F. Baynes, ‘when the Western world stands on the verge of a spiritual rebirth...after a long period of outward expansion, we are beginning to look inside ourselves once more.’ Before the decade was out, this optimistic viewpoint was to be shattered by war. But the insights in this book remain undiminished in the 21st century. There are 10 lectures: 'Dream Analysis in its Practical Application'; 'Problems of Modern Psychotherapy'; 'Aims of Psychotherapy', 'A Psychological Theory of Types'; 'The Stages of Life'; 'Freud and Jung – Contrasts; Archaic Man'; 'Psychology and Literature'; 'The Basic Postulates of Analytical Psychology'; 'The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man'; and finally 'Psychotherapists or Clergy'. Modern Man in Search of a Soul appeared shortly after Freud’s ‘Civilization and its Discontents’ and ‘The Future of an Illusion’ which took a very different, even dismissive, view of religion – and Jung looks openly at their differing positions, offering a more inclusive, overarching view of man’s spiritual search, one capable of acknowledging and learning from the attitudes and belief systems of ‘primitive man’ at one with his environment. In the same way he acknowledges the ‘complicated psychic activities’ involved in literature, drawing on writers as varied as Goethe, Melville and Conan Doyle in his reflections.In The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man, Jung, fresh from his studies in Kundalini yoga and other Eastern traditions, is hopeful about the new attempts to bring together Western and Eastern thought leading to a more substantial ‘psychic reality.’ So many of his declarations in this Collection have proved to be step ungekürzt.

Die Alfred Hitchcock Collection Collectors Box (DVD)
Der Fremde im Zug: (Strangers on a Train, USA 1951) Während einer Bahnfahrt wird dem Tennis-Spieler Guy Haines von dem exzentrischen Bruno Anthony ein makabrer Vorschlag gemacht: Bruno will Guys Ehefrau umbringen, dafür soll Guy Brunos strengen Vater beseitigen. Guy hält diesen teuflischen Vorschlag für einen schlechten Scherz. Doch der unheimliche Fremde führt seinen Mordplan aus - kurze Zeit später wird Guys Ehefrau ermordet aufgefunden. Nun wird Guy einerseits von der Polizei als Mörder verdächtigt, andererseits setzt ihn Bruno unter Druck. Denn nun liegt es an Guy, seinen Teil der Abmachung zu erfüllen... Der falsche Mann: (The Wrong Man, USA 1956) Manny Balestrero ist Musiker im New Yorker ,,Stork Club". Er und seine Frau Rose stecken in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten. Doch echte Schwierigkeiten gibt es, als Manny eines Tages verhaftet wird. Zeugen behaupten, dass er zahlreiche Überfälle begangen habe. Alle Indizien sprechen gegen ihn. Seine Frau bringt Geld für die Kaution auf und Balestrero versucht verzweifelt, Zeugen für ein Alibi aufzutreiben. Aber von den drei Männern, mit denen er zur Tatzeit Karten gespielt hat, sind zwei tot - und der dritte ist unauffindbar. Die Situation wird gefährlich... Die rote Lola: (Stage Fright, England 1950) Jane Wyman spielt die Schauspielschülerin Eve Gill. Ihrem Freund John Cooper (Richard Todd) wird der Mord am Ehemann der überheblichen Bühnendiva Charlotte Inwood (Marlene Dietrich) in die Schuhe geschoben, und Eve versucht seine Unschuld zu beweisen, indem sie sich von Charlotte als Zimmermädchen engagieren lässt. Doch Cooper hatte eine Affäre mit Charlotte... In Alfred Hitchcocks Welt ist das Theater ein gefährliches Pflaster - hinter den Kulissen lauert die Gefahr, die Akteure sind nicht das, was sie vorgeben, und der ,,letzte Vorhang" kann jederzeit fallen. Hitchcock drehte in seiner Heimat England, er jongliert verschmitzt mit den Versatzstücken der Krimikomödie und lässt seine Mitverschwörer und Darsteller (Alastair Sim, Sybil Thorndike, Joyce Grenfell, Kay Walsh und seine Tochter Patricia Hitchcock) zu großer Form auflaufen. Niemand versteht es wie Hitchcock, das Theater in eine Hochburg des Grauens zu verwandeln - dafür ist Die rote Lola das beste Beispiel. Bei Anruf Mord: (Dial M for Murder, USA 1954) Grace Kelly spielt Margot, die reiche Ehefrau des windigen Playboys Tony Wendice (Ray Milland). Tony fürchtet den Verlust des Geldes, weil Margots Liaison mit dem Schriftsteller Mark (Robert Cummings) zu einer Scheidung führen könnte. Er zwingt einen ehemaligen Schulkameraden, der in Schwierigkeiten steckt, zum Mord an seiner Frau. Der minutiös ausgefeilte Plan droht zu scheitern, als Margot es mit letzter Kraft schafft, ihren vermeintlichen Mörder mit einer Schere zu erstechen. Doch Tony schaltet schnell: mit eiskalter Berechnung liefert er der Polizei Hinweise, die seine Frau auf den elektrischen Stuhl bringen könnten... Ich beichte: (I Confess, USA 1953) Ein Mord geschieht. Durch die nächtlichen Straßen eilt ein Mann mit einer Priester-Soutane. Sein Ziel ist die Kirche. Der Mörder beichtet die Tat einem echten Priester (Montgomery Clift). Pater Michael Logan nimmt dem Täter das Versprechen ab, sich der Polizei zu stellen. Ein Versprechen, das niemals eingelöst wird. Plötzlich gerät er selbst unter Verdacht. Seine längst vergessene Vergangenheit macht Pater Logan zum Angeklagten. Ist er vielleicht doch nicht ganz unschuldig? Aber er darf sich nicht entlasten, obwohl er den Mörder kennt. Er hat geschworen, das Beichtgeheimnis zu wahren. Obwohl dem Pater der elektrische Stuhl droht, ist sein Gewissen stärker... Der unsichtbare Dritte: (North by Northwest, USA 1959) Ein unbescholtener Werbefachmann (Cary Grant) gerät irrtümlich ins Fadenkreuz eines feindlichen Spionagerings. Gefährliche Profi-Killer hetzen ihn quer durch die USA. Schließlich kommt es auf dem Präsidenten-Denkmal am Mount Rushmore zu einem spektakulären Showdown. "Der unsichtbare Dritte" (Drehbuch: Ernst Lehmann) gilt als einer der großen Geniestreiche Alfred Hitchcocks. Sein rasantes Tempo und der perfekte Spannungsaufbau waren wegweisend für die Entwicklung des modernen Thrillers. Selten betrieb der Meister des "Suspense" einen vergleichbaren Aufwand für einzelne Szenen: Im UNO-Gebäude von New York wurde, wegen des allgemeinen Aufnahmeverbots, sogar mit versteckter Kamera gedreht!Bonusmaterial:DVD-Ausstattung / Bonusmaterial: - Kapitel- / Szenenanwahl - Bei Anruf Mord:- Kinotrailer- Dokumentation "3D: Ein kurzer Einblick"- Dokumentation "Hitchcock und Bei Anruf Mord" -;Ich beichte:- Kinotrailer- Dokumentation: Hitchcocks Bekenntnis: Ein Blick auf "Ich beichte"- TV-Dokumentation: Kanadische Premiere von "Ich beichte" -;Der unsichtbare Dritte:- Kinotrailer- Animiertes DVD-Menü- DVD-Menü mit Soundeffekten- Original-Kommentar von Drehbuchautor Ernest Lehman- Original-Dokumentation "Destination Hitchcock: The Making of North by Northwest" präsentiert von Eva Marie Saint- USA-TV-Spot- Foto-Galerie- Tonspur nur mit MusikDarsteller:Adam Williams, Al Bridge, Al Hill, Alastair Sim, Albert Godderis, Alexander Lockwood, Alfred Hitchcock, Allan Ray, André Morell, Andy Albin, Anna Karen, Anne Anderson, Anne Baxter, Anthony Dawson, Anthony Quayle, Arthur Howard, Ballard Berkeley, Barbara Karen, Barney Martin, Barry Atwater, Baynes Barron, Bess Flowers, Bill Catching, Bobby Johnson, Bonnie Franklin, Brian Aherne, Brooks Benedict, Carmen Gingras, Cary Grant, Charles Aidman, Charles Andre, Charles Cooper, Charles J.
