Infrared , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min

After a troubled childhood and two failed marriages, Rena Greenblatt has achieved success as a photographer. She specializes in infrared techniques that expose her pictures’ otherwise hidden landscapes and capture the raw essence of deeply private moments in the lives of her subjects. Away from her lover, and stuck in Florence, Italy, with her infuriating stepmother and her aging, unwell father, Rena confronts not only the masterpieces of the Renaissance but the banal inconveniences of a family holiday. At the same time, she finds herself travelling into dark and passionate memories that will lead to disturbing revelations. Infrared is both an explicitly bold story of how sexuality is influenced by childhood, family, and culture, and a portrait of a woman coming to terms with the end of her father’s life. With exceptional flair and intelligence, Huston fearlessly investigates the links between family intimacies and our collective lives, between destruction and creation. In the spirit of her bestselling novel Fault Lines, Infrared is a story about how childhood, family, and our culture all have a direct impact on our sexuality. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Confessions: A New Translation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 861min

This long-awaited translation of Confessions, which Stephen Greenblatt describes as central to the legacy of Adam and Eve, enlivens the beguiling world of late antiquity. No modern, well-versed literature lover can call her education complete without having listened to Augustine’s Confessions. One of the most original works of world literature, it is the first autobiography ever written, influencing writers from Montaigne to Rousseau, Virginia Woolf to Gertrude Stein - and most recently informing Stephen Greenblatt’s provocative thesis about one of our foundational mythologies in The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve. It is here that we learn how one of the greatest saints in Christendom overcame a wild and reckless past, complete with a rambunctious posse of friends, an overly doting mother, and an affair that produced a “bastard” child. Yet English translators have long emphasized the ecclesiastical virtues of Augustine’s masterpiece, often at the expense of its passion and literary vigor. Restoring the lyricism of Augustine’s original language, Peter Constantine offers a masterful and elegant rendering of Confessions in what will be a classic for decades to come. ungekürzt.

Die Wende

Bestsellerautor Stephen Greenblatt führt uns in seinem neuen, preisgekrönten Buch an die Zeitenwende zwischen dem ausgehenden Mittelalter und der beginnenden Renaissance. Dabei folgt er den Spuren von Lukrez' De rerum natura - einem antiken Text, der zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts wiederentdeckt wurde, das Denken radikal veränderte und die Menschen in die Moderne führte.An einem kalten Januartag des Jahres 1417 fällt dem Humanisten Poggio Bracciolini in einem deutschen Kloster ein altes Manuskript in die Hände. Damit rettet er das letzte vorhandene Exemplar von Lukrez' antikem Meisterwerk De rerum natura vor dem Vergessen, nicht ahnend, dass dieses Buch die damalige Welt in ihren Grundfesten erschüttern wird. Denn der antike Text mit seinen unerhörten Gedanken über die Natur der Dinge eröffnet den Menschen des ausgehenden Mittelalters neue Horizonte, befeuert die beginnende Renaissance und bildet die Basis unserer modernen Weltsicht. Aber wie konnte ein einzelnes Buch demLauf der Geschichte eine neue Richtung geben?Ausstattung: mit Abbildungen

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Shakespeare: Where There's a Will, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

In this hour, Marjorie Garber is one of the world's premier Shakespeare scholars and teaches at Harvard. Her latest book is On Shakespeare and Modern Culture. She tells Anne Strainchamps how Shakespeare makes modern culture and modern culture makes Shakespeare, and we hear examples from the plays and film versions like Shakespeare in Love. Next, Jess Winfield was one of the original members of "The Reduced Shakespeare Company." He's now a novelist and talks with Jim Fleming about My Name is Will: a novel of sex, drugs and Shakespeare.Then, Mark Anderson is the author of Shakespeare by Another Name: The Life of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, the Man Who Was Shakespeare. Anderson tells Steve Paulson that no single piece of evidence is conclusive, but all the funny coincidences "prove" his thesis. Shakespeare biographer Stephen Greenblatt isn't persuaded. He demolishes Anderson's theory during his conversation with Steve and insists that Shakespeare's genius is precisely that he wasn't a nobleman.Finally, Karen Winborn tells Jim Fleming about Classical Comics which have published three versions of Shakespeare plays, pairing various versions of the texts with bright, action-packed, comic book style visuals. She explains the company's goals and their success, so far. [Broadcast Date: March 5, 2010] Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/tbon/100305/rt_tbon_100305_sample.mp3.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Scientific Revolution, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

In this hour, is science really the realm of free inquiry, open to every good idea? Controversial biologist Rupert Sheldrake says modern science is mired in various dogmas - boundaries you're not supposed to cross, at least if you value your job and your reputation. Next, why do new scientific ideas suddenly catch on and change how we see the world? Fifty years ago, Thomas Kuhn called this a "paradigm shift." University of Wisconsin historian of science Tom Broman reflects on Kuhn's influence, and we hear excerpts from his landmark book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Then, the clay tablets found at the ancient Greek palace of Knossos were filled with tiny pictograms, one of the strangest languages ever discovered. New York Times reporter Margalit Fox tells the story of Linear B - and the obsessed, tragic lives of the two people who devoted their lives to cracking the code. After that, cultural historian Stephen Greenblatt tells a remarkable story - how an ancient poem by Lucretius was rediscovered in a medieval monastery, and then helped launch the Scientific Revolution. We also hear an excerpt from Lucretius' poem On the Nature of Things.And finally, Daphne Sheldrick grew up on a farm in Kenya, raised orphaned animals and later became co-warden of Tsavo National Park. She talks about her love of elephants - and the wonders of African wildlife. [Broadcast Date: November 6, 2013] Language: English. Narrator: Jim Fleming.

The Swerve: How the World Became Modern , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min

Pulitzer Prize, General Nonfiction, 2012 National Book Award, Nonfiction, 2012 Renowned historian Stephen Greenblatt’s works shoot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list. With The Swerve, Greenblatt transports listeners to the dawn of the Renaissance and chronicles the life of an intrepid book lover who rescued the Roman philosophical text On the Nature of Things from certain oblivion. Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late 30s took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic by Lucretius—a beautiful poem containing the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions. The copying and translation of this ancient book—the greatest discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his age—fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno; shaped the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein; and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as Montaigne and Shakespeare, and even Thomas Jefferson. ungekürzt.

Hang Shakespeare: But Not DeVere, a True Story Mystery Solved , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min

Ever wonder why people doubt that William Shakespeare was the "true" author of the poems, plays and sonnets? Discover three reasons to doubt, and learn why William Shakespeare, a young man from the provinces, a man without wealth, connections or a university education should be hung!His close friend and rival Ben Jonson wrote the words "hang Shakespeare" in 1623. But why? This man knew the “real” author much better than modern scholars like Stephan Greenblatt or James Shapiro, wouldn't you agree? Many books questioning Shakespeare's authorship will claim he could not have written the works because of his lack of education or upbringing but this book does not. Author Robert Boog claims to have solved this 400+ year-old, true story mystery and the clues he finds may strike a note with teachers and young people today. Bringing together little-known historical facts as well as the scant, but incontrovertible things written about the “real” author, Mr. Boog explains things in a comfortable yet convincing fashion. Shakespeare’s motive to steal: It wasn’t the money or the fame. It was something else that makes perfect sense. Causation: Who created the First Folio proves Shakespeare could not have written the plays. Common sense: Why this nobleman needed a pseudonym. Stylometry: Macbeth, The Tempest, and Pericles could all have been written much earlier. Occam’s Razor: The bipolar mental health issues of this gentleman matches the “real” author of the Sonnets. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Boog.
