Puritan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 932min
Following adventures she would sooner forget in the newly renamed New York, Mercia Blakewood is hopeful that she has gained the leverage with the king she needs to reclaim her family's home back in England. The breathtaking new world piques her curiosity, and a burgeoning friendship with Clemency Carter, a local medicine woman, prompts Mercia to delay her return. Navigating an unknown landscape, the aftershocks still felt of revolution and restoration, and the uneasy relationship between the Puritan settlers and native Indians proves complex. But when the virgin forests of New England are tainted by murder, Mercia will not rest until the killer is brought to justice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patience Tomlinson.

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
When My only-begotten Son returned to Me, forty days after the resurrection, this Bridge, namely Himself, arose from the earth, that is, from among the conversation of men, and ascended into Heaven by virtue of the Divine Nature and sat at the right hand of Me, the Eternal Father, as the angels said, on the day of the Ascension, to the disciples, standing like dead men, their hearts lifted on high, and ascended into Heaven with the wisdom of My Son - 'Do not stand here any longer, for He is seated at the right hand of the Father!' When He, then, had thus ascended on high, and returned to Me the Father, I sent the Master, that is the Holy Spirit, who came to you with My power and the wisdom of My Son, and with His own clemency, which is the essence of the Holy Spirit. He is one thing with Me, the Father, and with My Son. And He built up the road of the doctrine which My Truth had left in the world. Thus, though the bodily presence of My Son left you, His doctrine remained, and the virtue of the stones founded upon this doctrine, which is the way made for you by this Bridge. For first, He practiced this doctrine and made the road by His actions, giving you His doctrine by example rather than by words; for He practiced, first Himself, what He afterwards taught you, then the clemency of the Holy Spirit made you certain of the doctrine, fortifying the minds of the disciples to confess the truth, and to announce this road, that is, the doctrine of Christ crucified, reproving, by this means, the world of its injustice and false judgment, of which injustice and false judgment, I will in time discourse to you at greater length.

History's Greatest Conquerors: Julius Caesar : World's Conquerors Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
Julius Caesar has been one of the most well-known conquerors of the world. Discover his incredible life, how he became a legend, and the incomparable boldness of this incredible ruler!Julius Caesar is quite an enigmatic figure to contemplate. He is often viewed as an upholder of liberty, the hero of the Roman Republic, but in truth he died a dictator. In another strange turn of events his assassins were those that he had granted full pardons to in his famous acts of clemency. Caesar was a man who was often found to be a polarizing figure. He was loved by the general public but hated by his peers in the Senate. He was also known for being a cold and tactical logistician, and yet he famously let his passions get the better of him when he encountered the beauty of Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. The life of Julius Caesar was a complicated one to be sure, as he has been denounced as a despot as many times as he has been hailed as a champion of justice. He was a man who practiced both mercy and vengeance. He crucified his enemies just as easily as he granted them clemency. Just as sure as his greatest benefactor Pompey became his greatest enemy, Caesar was a man who could make and break alliances quite easily. Caesar was a man who strode across the world stage not only as a conqueror, and master statesman, but as a true virtuoso of the human condition. He knew exactly what made people tick, and he knew how to take advantage of it. Listen to information about the life, the legend, and the unparalleled chutzpah of this incredible conqueror.After listening to this audiobook, you will know everything about the life and legacy of Julius Caesar in an hour!Buy this audiobook today! ungekürzt.

Dr. Mudd's Pardon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 5min
Samuel Alexander Mudd (1833 –1883) was an American physician who was imprisoned for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Mudd worked as a doctor and tobacco farmer in Maryland, and the Civil War seriously wounded his business, especially when Maryland abolished slavery in 1864. Dr. Mudd was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson and released from prison in 1869. In this text, the president explains the steps that led to his decision on Dr. Mudd. There was limited complicity in the crime by Dr. Mudd, and plenty of appeals for clemency came from all over, including 39 members of Congress. "Thus, now, therefore be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States of America, in consideration of the premises, divers other good and sufficient reasons me thereunto moving, do hereby grant to the said Dr. Samuel A. Mudd a full and unconditional pardon." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Sullivan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/yurt/001604/bk_yurt_001604_sample.mp3.
