    Now a major motion picture: the true story of the man put in charge of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, and a testament to the enduring power of family, grief, love, fear, frustration, and courage. Just days after September 11, 2001, Kenneth Feinberg was appointed to administer the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, a unique, unprecedented fund established by Congress to compensate families who lost a loved one on 9/11 and survivors who were physically injured in the attacks. Those who participated in the Fund were required to waive their right to sue the airlines involved in the attacks, as well as other potentially responsible entities. When the program was launched, many families criticized it as a brazen, tight-fisted attempt to protect the airlines from lawsuits. The Fund was also attacked as attempting to put insulting dollar values on the lives of lost loved ones. The families were in pain. And they were angry.Over the course of the next three years, Feinberg spent almost all of his time meeting with the families, convincing them of the generosity and compassion of the program, and calculating appropriate awards for each and every claim. The Fund proved to be a dramatic success with over 97 percent of eligible families participating. It also provided important lessons for Feinberg, who became the filter, the arbitrator, and the target of family suffering. Feinberg learned about the enduring power of family grief, love, fear, faith, frustration, and courage. Most importantly, he learned that no check, no matter how large, could make the families and victims of 9/11 whole again.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

    With a new introduction by Aleksandar Hemon In The Tenants (1971), Bernard Malamud brought his unerring sense of modern urban life to bear on the conflict between blacks and Jews then inflaming his native Brooklyn. The sole tenant in a rundown tenement, Henry Lesser is struggling to finish a novel, but his solitary pursuit of the sublime grows complicated when Willie Spearmint, a black writer ambivalent toward Jews, moves into the building. Henry and Willie are artistic rivals and unwilling neighbors, and their uneasy peace is disturbed by the presence of Willie's white girlfriend Irene and the landlord Levenspiel's attempts to evict both men and demolish the building. This novel's conflict, current then, is perennial now; it reveals the slippery nature of the human condition, and the human capacity for violence and undoing. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In the timeless shadows of the mines, distant screams glide across rock walls worn by running water and groping hands. Here where the sunlight never reaches, the picking of axes and dragging of chains is met by the wails of new slaves and the dying of the old. The guards' words echo off the walls as if from the dark heart of the mountain itself, crushing any hope of freedom: You are nothing here! You have no power and no chance of escape. Returning to his hometown defeated, penniless, and desperate, Decklen resolves to seek help from the only man strong enough to provide it - the elder of Leonesse. When he pleads his case to the elder, Decklen is not offered access to the town's resources as he had hoped. Instead, he is presented with an invitation - an offer to begin a quest to unlock eight scrolls and learn the secrets therein. But to do so, Decklen must find each key. Could it be that this quest will prepare him for the dangers ahead? But for two tenacious captives - Decklen, a young man coping with the mistakes of his past, and Camberly, a feisty 10-year-old orphan - escape from the mines is not a dream; it is their reality. However, Camberly's brother has accidentally been left behind. They must go back for him; they must free him from the debilitating darkness.

    Der Tod gibt sich die Ehre und bringt Leben in die Bude. Im Debütroman des Musikers Thees Uhlmann geht es ums Ganze. Der Tod klingelt an der Tür. Aber statt den Erzähler ex und hopp ins Jenseits zu befördern, gibt es ein rasantes Nachspiel. Ein temporeicher, hochkomischer, berührender Roman über die wirklich wichtigen Fragen des Lebens. Vor der Tür des Erzählers steht ein Mann, der ihm ähnlich sieht und behauptet, er sei der Tod und wolle ihn mitnehmen. Er habe noch ungefähr drei Minuten zu leben. Zwischen den beiden entspinnt sich eine absurd-witzige Diskussion, in der es um Kopf und Kragen, um die Insel Juist, den Lakritzgeschmack von Asphalt und das depressive Jobprofil des Todes geht. Zu seiner Verwunderung gelingt es dem Tod nicht, den Erzähler sterben zu lassen. Ein spektakulärer Roadtrip beginnt. Gemeinsam mit seiner Exfreundin Sophia und dem Tod macht sich der Erzähler auf den Weg zu seiner Mutter und zu seinem sieben Jahre alten Sohn, den er seit Ewigkeiten nicht gesehen hat, dem er aber Tag für Tag eine Postkarte schreibt. Es geht auf eine Reise zwischen Himmel und Hölle - und um die Frage, ob es das alles überhaupt gibt. Eine Reise, die geprägt ist durch die Tollpatschigkeit, mit der sich der Tod durch die Welt der Lebenden bewegt, und Fragen wie: Muss der Tod pinkeln? Und wenn ja, wie macht er das? - Und die große Frage, was denn besser ist, "to burn out or to fade away"? "Sophia, der Tod und ich" ist eine irrsinnig lustige, berührende Suada, druck- und kraftvoll in jeder Zeile. Man hört, lacht, zerfließt in Melancholie und birst vor Freude, dass man noch am Leben ist... deutsch. Thees Uhlmann. https://samples.audible.de/bk/fine/000332/bk_fine_000332_sample.mp3.

    Beast wants only a few things out of life: to be left alone, to join the Blackwings so he can be left alone, and for everyone to stop expecting anything from him and leave him alone. He was king of the lion shifters once, but his fall from power came at a huge personal cost. Rumors run rampant over what really happened to his pride, but the truth has hardened Beast's heart to stone. He's kept the Blackwings at arm's length, but when a human starts stalking his crew, his inner monster-kitty gets curious. Kiera is gorgeous and mysterious, but she also has strange eyes and a scent that is calling to his animal. No human has ever interested him quite like her. But when he finds out who, and what, she really is, he'll have to risk his heart again. And for a monster like him, caring for a woman could put everyone around him in danger. Kiera Pierce has been through hell and back, but she's still standing and fighting. She's in big trouble, and is being hunted by one brutal pride of lion shifters. When she seeks sanctuary in Kane's Mountains, she doesn't expect a scar-faced behemoth to be her hero. Oh, she's heard of Beast, and knows the rumors about him, and if they're true, he's a ruthless killer in a sexy package. Perhaps that's the kind of protection she needs. But the more she gets to know the quiet and dangerous Beast, the more she thinks he might be able to save more than her life. He just might be able to save her heart as well.

    Wer erinnert sich nicht wehmütig an die Schlußszene des Musicals von Andrew Lloyd Webber, als die junge Sängerin Christine dem Mann mit der Maske jenen Ring zurückgibt, den er ihr einst als Zeichen seiner Liebe geschenkt hatte. Das "Phantom der Oper" verschwindet im Dunkel. Niemand weiß, was aus ihm geworden ist. Bis zu jenem Abend im September 1906, als der Notar Dufour zu einer Sterbenden gerufen wird. Antoinette Giry enthüllt, wie sie einst den entstellten Knaben Erik Muhlheim aus einem Schaustellerkäfig befreite und in der Unterwelt der Pariser Oper versteckte. Dort schuf er sich seine eigene Welt, fernab von den Menschen, die ihn verabscheuten. Als er sich in die schöne Sängerin Christine verliebte und sie zum Star machte, schöpfte er Hoffnung. Doch vergebens. Da rettete Antoinette ihn erneut und schickte ihn nach Amerika. Nur dort konnte diese gequälte Seele zur Ruhe kommen. Nun soll Dufour Erik aufspüren und ihm einen geheimnisvollen Brief bringen. In New York stößt der Notar auf das "Phantom von Manhattan", einen der reichsten und mächtigsten Männer Amerikas, den jedoch niemand kennt...

He said he was offered the villa to recover from a serious illness. He had just lost his teaching job and had no money to leave. She agreed with his plan to share the house - but on her terms.
