    No Treason: The Anarchist Classic with a New Introduction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
    Lysander Spooner was one of slavery’s fiercest enemies. As a lawyer, he offered free legal services to escaped slaves, defending them in court. He advocated smuggling guns to slaves, with which to overthrow their masters, and take possession of their property. “Give the Slave-holders, then, a taste of their own whips.”    Yet when the Civil War erupted, Spooner wasted no time in opposing the Union’s war against the Confederacy. After the war, when Northern troops occupied the conquered Southern lands, purging their governments of the warped scaffolding that had propped up slavery for centuries, Spooner called them the enemies of freedom.   What odd logic could harmonize these seemingly dissonant opinions? What philosophy could possibly despise slavery, and despise Abraham Lincoln?   The answer lies in the essay before you, Lysander Spooner’s most influential work: No Treason.Here you will find many unorthodox, and certainly unpopular, perspectives. Many notions, foundational to our concept of democracy, will be questioned, and the solutions offered will undoubtedly run against the grain of our upbringing, and everything we’ve been told about freedom.   He’ll advocate peace and violence, the rule of law, and anarchy.  You may not be convinced, but you will certainly be interested. ungekürzt.

    Der Verlassene: Die geheimnisvolle Insel 2
    Der Verlassene ist der zweite Band von Jules Vernes Fortsetzungsroman 'Die geheimnisvolle Insel'.

Dabei fischt Harbert eine Flaschenpost auf, die ein Schiffbrüchiger auf der Nachbarinsel Tabor ins Meer geworfen hat. Harbert, Pencroff und Spilett segeln nach Tabor, finden den verwahrlosten Schiffbrüchigen und bringen ihn auf die Insel Lincoln. Er nennt sich Ayrton und erzählt, dass er als entlarvter Freibeuter zwölf Jahre zuvor von Lord Glenarvan nach den Ereignissen um die Suche nach Kapitän Grant auf der Insel Tabor ausgesetzt worden sei. Von einer Flaschenpost weiß er allerdings nichts.

    So Long at the Fair: The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet Mystery Series, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
    The fifth novel in the Reverend Paltoquet series focuses on a miscarriage of justice back in the 1890s and how it shaped lives and events that followed. Just how can a woman keep throwing herself off the top of the big wheel at a South London fair? Two little girls witness a beautiful woman doing just that when they visit the fair back in the 1890s. In the late 1950s she is still falling off the wheel and Dr. Robbie MacTavish is a witness, as is a small boy, Ronnie Fisher, the great nephew of the Reverend Bernard Paltoquet's housekeeper, Mrs. Harper (known affectionately as "Mrs Aitch"). Albert Williams, the plumber who supplies the vicarage with a much-needed new boiler, turns out to be the grandson of Olivia Ayrton-Williams, a woman who was killed when she was pushed off the big wheel in 1895. Hal Grant, Albert's rival for the affections of the lovely Bonita Murray, is the grandson of the man wrongly convicted and hung for Olivia's murder. Bernard and Robbie set about trying to piece together the events of over half a century ago, with the help of the redoubtable Chief Inspector Neverholme. Just who is the woman who keeps falling off the big wheel? It soon becomes clear she was the victim of a vicious murder and that her purpose is to clear the name of the man who was wrongfully hanged for it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karl R.

    How to Build a Car , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 746min
    The world's foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir. How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he's been involved. A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian's thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form - he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays. From his early career in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining detail how a car actually works. Adrian has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies: most notably Ayrton Senna's death during his time at Williams in 1994. How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrian's remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling - its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style, efficiency and speed.
