    Slow Lightning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min
    In 1936, escalating violence and unrest in Spain explodes into civil war. Sandro Risco Canovas, an apolitical but unlucky engineering student, is guilty by association and is named among the hundreds on Franco's blacklist. Hunted by the police, he seeks refuge with Jorge, a wounded zealot, and Teresa, a revolutionary spy. He is forced to flee the city alone, posing as a priest along the sacred pilgrimage route, the Saint James Way. On his trusty bicycle, Libertad (a la Don Quixote), Sandro makes his way toward his seaside village of Arcasella. With the help of a leftist partisan from Canada, Sandro hides in the branches of a towering beech tree. Once home, he retreats into a secret cave, setting in motion an elaborate deception. ungekürzt.

    A Man and His Presidents: The Political Odyssey of William F. Buckley Jr. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1048min
    William F. Buckley Jr. is widely regarded as the most influential American conservative writer, activist, and organizer in the postwar era. In this nuanced biography, Alvin Felzenberg sheds light on little-known aspects of Buckley's career, including his role as back-channel adviser to policy makers, his intimate friendship with both Ronald and Nancy Reagan, his changing views on civil rights, and his break with George W. Bush over the Iraq War. Felzenberg demonstrates how Buckley conveyed his message across multiple platforms and drew upon his vast network of contacts, his personal charm, his extraordinary wit, and his celebrity status to move the center of political gravity in the United States closer to his point of view. This account of one of the most compelling personalities of American politics will appeal to conservatives, liberals, and even the apolitical. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Meskimen.

    Alberto Santos-Dumont
    Brazilian with French origins, Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer of aeronautics. He achieved two firsts at the start of the 20th century: an airship tour around the Eiffel Tower and a measured airplane flight in the skies above Paris. The most famous man in 1901, he mingled with royalty without being of high society himself; was received at the White House and the Vatican despite being apolitical; and frequented fellow inventors Edison, Eiffel, and Michelin while eschewing industrial exploitation. A contributor to the transportation revolution, he was also a man of the world recognized for his elegance: he ushered in the two-piece suit, foregoing the vest, when Louis Cartier invented his eponymous wristwatch. Accompanied by photographs and previously unpublished documents, this biography shows the impact of Santos-Dumont on aeronautics and Parisian style, while also uncovering the thrilling life and extraordinary personality of a modern Icarus who takes his rightful place in the line of brilliant men who changed the world.

    The Work I Did: A Memoir of the Secretary to Goebbels , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 305min
    Brunhilde Pomsel described herself as an 'apolitical girl' and a 'figure on the margins', but, employed as a stenographer during the Second World War, she worked closely with one of the worst criminals in world history: Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. She was one of the oldest surviving eyewitnesses to the internal workings of the Nazi power apparatus until her death in 2017. Her biography, however, not only provides us with extraordinary new insight into a seminal moment of history. Her life, mirroring all the major breaks and continuities of the 20th century, also illustrates how far-right politics, authoritarian regimes and dictatorships can rise and what part political apathy and passivity of the masses can contribute to democracy's erosion. Compelling and unnerving, The Work I Did forces us to ask how we could have acted in such a situation and leads to the disturbing and enduring question: how reliable is our own moral compass? ungekürzt.

    The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 529min
    Today both reality and entertainment crowd our fields of vision with brutal imagery. The pervasiveness of images of torture, horror, and war has all but demolished the 20th-century hope that such imagery might shock us into a less alienated state, or aid in the creation of a just social order. What to do now? When to look, when to turn away? Genre-busting author Maggie Nelson brilliantly navigates this contemporary predicament, with an eye to the question of whether or not focusing on representations of cruelty makes us cruel. In a journey through high and low culture (Kafka to reality TV), the visual to the verbal (Paul McCarthy to Brian Evenson), and the apolitical to the political (Francis Bacon to Kara Walker), Nelson offers a model of how one might balance strong ethical convictions with an equally strong appreciation for work that tests the limits of taste, taboo, and permissibility. ungekürzt.
