Ireland's East Coast: Dublin, Louth, Wicklow & Meath Counties: Travel Adventures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
Dublin is the Republic of Ireland's capital and largest city, named from the Irish dubh linn, meaning "black pool". The name comes from the fact that the site of the city was formerly a black, slimy expanse of mud through which the River Liffey flowed sluggishly to the sea. It now has a pleasant setting on the east coast of the Irish Sea, looking out over Dublin Bay, with a long, sandy shoreline to its north. Granite mountains form the southern boundary of the county, and the city is bisected by the River Liffey. It's a cultural city with theaters, cinemas, galleries and museums, and many historic sites worth seeing. It also has an excellent range of shops, restaurants, pubs, and clubs plus all types of accommodations. Louth, the smallest county on the island, is on the east coast, on the border halfway between Dublin and Belfast. It's named after Lugh, the great god of the Celts, and its Cooley peninsula was the legendary home of the giant Finn McCool and the setting of Ulster's greatest saga, the Táin. That's the epic folk tale of the hero Cúchullain, the Red Branch Knights of Ulster, wicked Queen Maeve of Connaught, and the mighty Brown Bull of Cooley. Despite its size, Louth offers a great choice of activities - sailing and scuba diving, sea and river fishing, horseback riding, hill walking, rock climbing, golf, exploring historical sites, and great traditional hospitality in its many pubs, restaurants, inns, guesthouses, and hotels. Among the many interesting places to visit is the site of the Battle of the Boyne, which changed Irish history and influences events even today. Known as "the Garden of Ireland," Wicklow has wonderful scenery, with mountains, wooded valleys, and lakes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ayelet Sror.

Lost Cause: A Daisy Dunlop Mystery, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
Daisy Dunlop thinks "heir hunting" is a perfect career. Too bad she has to work with her husband's best mate, Irish PI Solomon Liffey. They've barely spoken since he took her husband Paul's request to keep her safe far too literally and handcuffed her to the kitchen sink. Solomon has no interest in babysitting a new partner, especially this one. The woman's a bleedin' liability. She has no concept of danger and could flirt for England at the next Olympics. As if that isn't bad enough, she has a habit of sticking her nose where it's not wanted, including into Solomon's very private life. Determined to keep Daisy safely out of his way, Solomon sets her the task of finding a missing lord. Her investigations land her in the middle of his case. Bullets fly, bombs explode, and the body count rises. When Solomon goes missing, the tables are turned. Now it's his life that is in Daisy's hands, and she has two missing men to find before it's too late. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Phillips.

Ein Schuss Whiskey (eBook, ePUB)
Dublin - Stadt des Whiskeys, der Pubs und der Literatur. Mittendrin Janus Rosner, ein Krimiautor mit deutschen Wurzeln, den eine Schreibblockade plagt. Seine Lösung: Mach es wie die großen irischen Autoren und gib dich dem Rausch hin! Bei seiner literarischen Pub-Tour durch das legendäre Viertel Temple Bar muss er dann mitansehen, wie eine junge, wunderschöne Frau am Ufer des Liffey mit einem Kopfschuss hingerichtet wird. Vorher zitiert sie unter Tränen einige der unsterblichen Zeilen der bedeutendsten Dichter des Landes, Verse von Oscar Wilde, James Joyce und Jonathan Swift. Oder hat er sich das alles nur eingebildet? Am nächsten Tag steht auf jeden Fall nichts in der Irish Times und auch sonst scheint niemand etwas über das Verbrechen zu wissen. Janus lassen die Geschehnisse der Nacht nicht los und seine Ermittlungen führen ihn in die Welt der Literatur und des irischen Whiskeys, der gerade einen beispiellosen Boom erlebt. Viel Geld ist damit zu verdienen, viel Geld zu verlieren ... Augenzwinkernd und kenntnisreich erzählt Bestsellerautor Carsten Sebastian Henn von Dublin, der Stadt der trinkenden Dichter und dichtenden Trinker. Und einem rasanten Kriminalfall, der bis in die dunkelsten Ecken der idyllischen Insel-Metropole führt.- Shop: buecher

Dublin: mp3cityguides Walking Tour , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
Historical and cultural walking tours of Europe's finest cities. As well as its bars and writers, Dublin is known for its Georgian architecture and this walking tour of Dublin starts at one of the most famous examples of this great building style. The Hugh Lane Gallery is Dublin's most celebrated art gallery and your guide to Dublin will tell you the history of the gallery and what to look out for inside. You'll also hear about the sad story behind it. The Irish are known as natural story tellers and the Children of Lir is one of Ireland's most celebrated and romantic fairytales. Your audio tour of Dublin will show you the statue dedicated to this tale and, of course, tell you the story itself. As you walk down O'Connell Street you'll learn about the history of Dublin and then you'll arrive at the Post Office Building, a key site in Ireland's struggle for independence. We'll also tell you about the monument of Light, also known as the Spike which is said to be the world's largest sculpture and, after we've pointed out the statue of James Joyce, your guide to Dublin will then lead you down to the Liffey. You'll hear about the H'penny Bridge and how it got its name and about the Custom House and James Gandon, the architect of this great Dublin landmark. Your downloadable tour will then lead you to the Irish Parliament Building and you'll develop your understanding of Dublin and its history as we talk about what you can see and we tell you about the history of what is known as the Irish House of Lords. Opposite is Trinity College and again you'll learn about the history of this great university and find out what to see if you want to go inside. Merrion Square, our next stop, is another great example of Dublin's Georgian architectural heritage. Hidden away is a statue of Oscar Wilde, once a resident of Merrion Square - opposite him, tellingly, is his pregnant wife Constance and the figure of a young man. PLEASE NOTE: ungekürzt.
