Dylan Does Rome: Bob Dylan 2001 - The Lost Interviews, Hörbuch, Digital, 87min
“When you walk around a town like this, you know people were here before you, and they were probably on a much higher, grander level than any of us are.” (Bob Dylan, Rome, 2001)Bob Dylan’s near lifelong love affair with Rome started way back in 1963 when he first visited the iconic destination. He has been a regular visitor and devotee of the grand city ever since. In 1984, Dylan once again “went home” to Rome to play several sold-out shows and to breathe the air of this magnificent, historical place.Today, we are concerned with his now near historical concert and verbose press conference that took place there in July of 2001. Here is a Dylan we rarely see or hear, a Dylan clearly in love with his life, his work, and with the enchanting city of Rome.Written, narrated, and produced by historian, actor, author, and Dylan fan Geoffrey Giuliano, here is a must-listen, once-in-a-lifetime audio encounter for any loyal Bob Dylan follower, pop culture collector, or school or university collection.Music by AudioNautix.com Language: English.

Victim of Grace: When God’s Goodness Prevails , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
Robin Jones Gunn reveals poignant truths from her life as well as from the lives of women in the Bible as she flips the notion that we are at the mercy of circumstances. She asks, what if God has dreams for you? What if he is accomplishing those dreams in the midst of shattered hopes? When life doesn’t go as expected, it’s easy to feel like a victim. We look at the events that have gone wrong and view our lives as impaired. What if we could see our future as God sees it? Would our view radically change if we understood we are indeed victims rather than of happenstance? God, the Relentless Lover, has vigorously sought you. He has instilled dreams in your heart that are grander than you can imagine. But the route to their fulfillment often is through a path you wouldn't seek. What if God wants to take the hopes that tug at your heart and enliven them? Are you ready to live inside the mysterious joy of being a victim of grace? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Not a Happy Camper: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
Remember those long sultry summer days at camp, the sun setting over the lake as you sang "Kumbaya"? Well, Mindy Schneider remembers her summer at Camp Kin-A-Hurra in 1974 just a wee bit differently. Not a Happy Camper chronicles a young girl's adventures at a camp where the sun never shines, the breakfast cereal dates back to the summer of 1922, and many of the counselors speak no English. For eight eye-opening and unforgettable weeks, Mindy and her eccentric band of friends - including Autumn Evening Schwartz, the daughter of hippies, who communicates with the dead, and the sleep-dancing, bibliophile Betty Gilbert - keep busy feuding in color wars, failing at sports, and uncovering the camp's hidden past. As she focuses on landing the perfect boyfriend and longs for her first kiss, Mindy unexpectedly stumbles across something infinitely grander: herself. Hilarious, charming, and glowing with nostalgia, Mindy Schneider's memoir is a must-listen for anyone who's ever been to summer camp, or wishes they had. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Happily Ali After: And Other Fairly True Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
The actress, comedian, media darling, and New York Times best-selling author picks up where she left off in Ali in Wonderland, dissecting modern life - and this time, on a mission of self-improvement - in a series of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. Moved by a particularly inspirational tweet one day, Ali Wentworth resolves to live by the pithy maxims she discovers in her feeds. What begins as a sort of self-help project quickly turns into something far grander - and increasingly funnier - as the tweets she once viewed with irony become filled with increasing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her "Unhappiness Project". It's not long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationship, fitness (or lack thereof), and dieting advice. The results are painfully (at times literally) clear: when it comes to self-help, sometimes you should leave it to the professionals. At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and absurd, Happily Ali After is a thoroughly entertaining collection from "the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything" (Huffington Post). ungekürzt.

Cleopatra (69 BC-30 BC), the last Pharaoh of Egypt and the third daughter Ptolemy XII Auletes, is one of the most mysterious people in ancient history, so compelling and mysterious that myths and legends abound about her to this day.

She knew what she wanted and worked tirelessly to get it. She was bred to be the ruler of Egypt and she would achieve this goal by any means necessary, even if it meant killing her own family members...even if it meant sleeping with the enemy. She would get what she desired. In the end, she only partially succeeded, she never lived to see her grander vision come to fruition. In this volume of Interviews with History, we will cover, ever so briefly, the life of this great queen - Queen Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D.M.
