Slave Boy in Judea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
No one was stirring; there was no smoke coming from the chimney above the kitchen. He slipped out and sidled along the wall until he came to a gate. It opened into a vegetable garden. In the barnyard back of the garden, chickens and geese were already about. They moved aside as the silent gray-clad figure crept through the yard. Through another gate Madoc went - a gate that led to open country. The villa was built against a gently slope. Behind it, as far as Madoc could see, rose other hills. They were dotted with small trees. He found a path, beaten hard by the hoofs of sheep and goats, and he raced away. Captured by Romans in the forests of Gaul, Madoc is sold as a slave to a Roman centurion stationed in Judea. Though he is not a hard master, Madoc is determined to escape and find his mother. However, the story takes a turn when Madoc and his master meet followers of Jesus and hear about the new way of living he taught. This story is not only engaging and packed with great messages, but it also teaches about the historical time period and the growing influence of the early Christian faith. ungekürzt.

History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Julius Caesar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. Possibly the most important man of antiquity, and even all of history, was Julius Caesar. Alexander Hamilton, the famous American patriot, once remarked that "the greatest man who ever lived was Julius Caesar". Such a tribute, coming from one of the Founding Fathers of the quintessential modern democracy in reference to a man who destroyed the Roman Republic, is testament to the enduring mark that Caesar left upon the world. The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. His legacy is so strong that his name has become, in many languages, synonymous with power: the Emperors of Austria and Germany bore the title Kaiser, and the Czars of Russia also owe the etymology of their title to Caesar. His name also crept further eastward out of Europe, even cropping up in Hindi and Urdu, where the term for "emperor" is Kaiser. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracey Norman.

Taking Shergar: Thoroughbred Racing's Most Famous Cold Case (Horses in History) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
It was a cold and foggy February night in 1983 when a group of armed thieves crept onto Ballymany Stud, near The Curragh in County Kildare, Ireland, to steal Shergar, one of the thoroughbred industry's most renowned stallions. Bred and raced by the Aga Khan IV and trained in England by Sir Michael Stoute, Shergar achieved international prominence in 1981 when he won the 202nd Epsom Derby by 10 lengths - the longest winning margin in the race's history. The thieves demanded a hefty ransom for the safe return of one of the most valuable thoroughbreds in the world, but the ransom was never paid and Shergar's remains have never been found. In Taking Shergar: Thoroughbred Racing's Most Famous Cold Case, Milton C. Toby presents an engaging narrative that is as thrilling as any mystery novel. The book provides new analysis of the body of evidence related to the stallion's disappearance, delves into the conspiracy theories that surround the inconclusive investigation, and presents a profile of the man who might be the last person able to help solve part of the mystery. Toby examines the extensive cast of suspects and their alleged motives, including the Irish Republican Army and their need for new weapons, a French bloodstock agent who died in Central Kentucky, and even the Libyan dictator, Muammar al-Qadhafi. The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Ferraro.

The Upside of Over , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
What happens when one of the country's most popular identities goes from reading the news to being the news? Olivia Law had always been the good girl. Great grades, perfect career, husband, house and hairdo. She'd learnt image was everything, so she refused to look below the surface of her life. When not at work her minutes were filled with causes, chairing boards and dining at fabulous restaurants with her equally fabulous husband, David. She kept up the Botox and blow-dries and worked hard. It wasn't enough, but whenever doubt crept in she'd head to a pilates class or plan a renovation on her trophy house. Then she turned 45. Olivia wasn't prepared for David to leave. The fact that they hadn't had sex for two years should have triggered warning bells...it didn't. In an attempt to fix her broken marriage Olivia exposed herself like never before. But when her confession goes viral, the husband, house and job disappear. The woman who once offered glamorous reassurance and a steady gaze is labelled a princess of perversion. Humiliated, defeated, facing 50 shades of failure, she's left wondering who the hell she really is. Stripped bare, she abandons perfection...and something remarkable happens. Olivia Law just might get her sass back (and this time, it's the real thing). The brilliant new novel from J. D. Barrett about breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs.
