Rome and the Mediterranean Vol. 2: The Histories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 668min
After 18 years of desperate struggle, Rome has gradually turned the tide against Hannibal, and now the Carthaginian finds himself bottled up in the toe of Italy while Scipio ruthlessly tightens the noose around Carthage on the African mainland. Knowing that Hannibal must sooner or later abandon Italy and come to the aid of his countrymen, the brilliant Roman commander prepares for the inevitable test of strength. It is not long in coming. Volume 2 of Rome and the Mediterranean brings to an end the long and violent struggle between Scipio and Hannibal. The grand spectacle of naval and land battles, the political intrigue and tribal quarrels, and the interminable squabbles among the Greek city states...all comes to an end. Roman hegemony is now complete. If for no other reason, the pleasure of reading Polybius is his penetrating character analysis of the leading men of his day. There is something peculiarly modern about Polybius, though in his own day he was criticized for his lack of "style". In fact, by the time of the third century A.D., he had largely been forgotten in the West. He was resurrected in the Renaissance and found greater and greater support among republican thinkers, especially those of the Founding Fathers of the American Revolution. Until recently, Polybius was read only by those interested in Roman Republican and Greek Hellenistic history. However, his spectacular ability to draw the reader into the drama of the historical narrative has made him popular among modern readers, and all the more so as he is the primary source for those events in ancient history which are today considered not only of the utmost importance, but also of enduring interest. It is a great pity that his work did not survive intact, though we should consider ourselves fortunate to have what is left. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.

The Roman Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
There are, to be sure, hundreds if not thousands of books on the Roman Empire: a book on every emperor, a book on every century, a book on every battle or assassination, a book on every meal enjoyed by every despotic Caesar. The Roman Empire has been the subject of countless tomes and innumerable movies. Why, then, should you take another look?Because - to be blunt - the books tend to be bloated and the movies, interminable. A quick scan of the particulars reveals that books on the Roman Empire are undeniably plentiful - and undeniably long. Before a listener gets past Romulus and Remus, the very length of the book becomes a distraction. The listener is only a few pages into the history and already dreading the monumental amount of time that will be required to finish it. The book is set aside in frustration.The Roman Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire lets you avoid all of that. Instead of snooze-inducing, micro-detailed accounts of what Hannibal’s rear guard soldiers had for lunch two days before leaving Carthage for Italy, you’ll get only the pertinent details of the Roman Empire’s existence. No extraneous details, no bloat. This is history as it’s meant to be written: factual, concise, informative, and entertaining.Unlike the ancient world of Rome, the modern world moves very fast. Your time is valuable, as is your interest in the world around you. The Roman Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire allows you to satisfy both needs. Accessibly written and easily digestible in small bites, you’ll get your fill of the Roman Empire’s smorgasbord of characters and events.You already know, if vaguely, some of the characters: Julius Caesar, Nero, Constantine. Prepare to meet many more. Prepare to be surprised. History is seldom predictable, and no history is less predictable than that of the Roman Empire. ungekürzt. Language: English.

How America Was Lost: From 9/11 to the Police/Warfare State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1074min
Even as the view of America as a rogue state consolidates abroad, Americans appear largely bystanders at the spectacle of their government running amok. People forget the myriad instances of their government's flouting of the Constitution and international legal norms - if ever they were aware of them in the first place - accepting to live in the increasingly pernicious "new normal" with little protest. This remarkable anthology of columns documents and reminds us of the extraordinary developments that, in their accumulation, have led to the destruction of accountable and moral government in the US. Few American commentators have cut more clearly through the deepening deceit, hypocrisy and outright criminality that has infested official Washington since 9/11 than Paul Craig Roberts. His scathing critique sheds much-needed light on the country's impending nightmare: economic collapse, internal repression, ongoing wars, and rising rejection by friends and foes alike. America's fate was sealed when the public and the anti-war movement bought the government's 9/11 conspiracy theory. This defining event of our time, which has launched the US on interminable wars of aggression and a domestic police state, is a taboo topic for investigation in the media. Trillion dollar wars have created financing problems for Washington's deficits, threatening the dollar's role as world reserve currency, and putting Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block. These protections are called "entitlements" as if they are some sort of welfare that people have not paid for in payroll taxes all their working lives. With over 21 per cent unemployment, with American jobs, GDP, and technology having been given to China and India, with war being Washington's greatest commitment, with the dollar over-burdened with debt, with civil liberty sacrificed to the bogus war on terror, the liberty and prosperity of the American people have been thrown into the t ungekürzt.

Rails of Drowsiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
Three of us shared a room at the University of Southampton. The director considered three would not allow the conspiracy of two if the third party always creates discord, and he would learn about the plans of the other two. And after those two would become the third in discord. Not in our case. It was the only room where the betrayal did not appear. Time passed, and one of my companions fulfilled his dream that he always shared with us: to have his own airplane, piloted by him. One day, the gales of tempests swallowed him to never return him. The other of my companions swore to us to take over the sea, and when he finally had his own boat, after several misfortunes in his life, he decided to loose himself in the immense ocean to never return. They joked I only wanted to travel by train. "Someday, you will disappear," they told me. The trains that I had idealized have not died out, but they are in agony. I have traveled in some when I have been able and now time and modernity have left behind them and my friends have disappeared, but I continue traveling in them and will forever. Forever and as long as I have a collection of poems, unique in it's genre, like the one we crave in our hands, you and me.The trains have become one of those places of the most sensitive humanity, having represented the union of the world that, together with the steamboats, connected it as if, for the first time, individuals appreciated each other to never forget. But nostalgia and abandonment have tirelessly pursued their demise to make way for sophisticated technologies. They have become the junkyard of our most intimate feelings of abandonment and evocation. The book in your hands recovers them to a protean level; remembrance that will inevitably make us eternal passengers of the interminable journey, with its hymn of smoke and distant sounds.The Rails of Drowsiness makes us feel, not merely listen to, verses that are the sensitive source to rememb ungekürzt.

The Fall and Rise of Landon Harris , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min
It seemed that Landon Harris had every reason to expect that after writing seven successful novels, he would be entitled to an eighth. He dutifully spoke at the luncheons created by his publisher and the NPR interviews and was preparing himself for the coming book tour. Landon loved his readers, enjoyed meeting them, but hated their questions after the talks and readings, or at the interminable dinners, be they in Memphis or Los Angeles. Landon Harris had a ritual created by him and his now departed young wife when he began writing, and she was still beside him. After the hoop-de-do, they would settle in bed and all night long, read the book with the express purpose of learning for themselves, at a bit of distance from its inception, if it was as good a book as they hoped. This was an instructive process that seemed to make each book better. When Landon applied this ritual to his eighth book, he learned that he had, very simply, written a bad book. Two bad things would ensue: he would have to endure the agony of promoting this bad book, and his internal process of creating the next book would be shunted because the natural bridge to that idea was blown away. Here is where Landon learns that writer's block is only one region of writer's hell. This new region he was exploring internally was trip-wired with ego, insecurity, an inability to "face-up-to-it", plus a willingness to exploit the wrong opportunity. Given the opportunity to comment on the manuscript of short stories by a young writer, Landon turns himself into the devil and makes a deal with the young writer to let Landon edit, throw out, add in and generally fix this writer's work into a book of his own, to be published under the name of Landon Harris. This, he thinks, will give him time and leeway to build the bridge to his ninth novel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jamie Cutler.

El beso de la finitud (eBook, ePUB)
Los que repiten aquello de que la vida es corta secundan sin quererlo un tópico lacrimógeno cristiano. La vida dura justo lo que tiene que durar, aunque todos firmaríamos doscientos años más, seguramente sin saber muy bien lo que hacíamos. Sócrates, el Jesucristo de la filosofía, murió porque ya no podía más de sabiduría, porque ese cuerpo de viejo de setenta años no daba ya más de sí en lo que a plétora de júbilo podía contener. Sócrates se suicidó ante el jurado de Atenas, esto es claro, pero antes formuló ante sus más queridos allegados su sueño más entrañado. Y este era sólo lo siguiente: una eternidad de diálogo. Lo cuenta Platón, el hombre que más le amó. A Sócrates no le importaba perecer por orden de los atenienses, siempre que el más allá consistiera en una interminable conversación. Esa conversación perpetua que anhelaba Sócrates no es más que la que cualquier lector pudiera iniciar hoy tan sólo con abrir un libro, un libro de verdad. La diferencia está, únicamente, en que en el Hades ni Homero ni Hesíodo callan al llegar a la última línea, sino que siguen hilvanando versos o quejándose indefinidamente cuando uno habla con ellos después de muerto. ¿Y si lo que hizo Platón fue únicamente dar a Sócrates nuevos temas sobre los que reflexionar en el Inframundo, no ya los temas de Homero o Hesíodo, sino aquellos recién inventados por su más devoto discípulo? Así, la Teoría de la Ideas no sería sino el más precioso regalo jamás hecho por amante alguno a su afable y anciano amado. Los ensayos aquí recogidos, tan vehementes, tan improvisados la mayoría de ellos, se proponen como un intento de ponerse al servicio de algo superior a la autogratificación filosófica como sin duda lo es el entramado del mundo actual, con toda su complejidad, que sin duda subsistirá a la vigencia de la propia filosofía. Si además consiguieran complacer en algo a los viejos maestros de su autor en la eternidad circular y parlanchina de los difuntos, nada más nos quedará ya por pedir...- Shop: buecher
