History’s Passion: Stories of Sex Before Stonewall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 632min, (USK 18)

Four acclaimed erotic authors re-imagine the past.... Welcome to the hidden queer history of men loving men not so very long - and centuries - ago. In "Heaven on Earth", Lambda Literary Award winner, editor, and author Simon Sheppard evokes a noirish Depression-era setting for Wichita rich kid Eli who, with an innocent young gas station attendant as his sidekick, embarks on a bloody, lust-fueled crime spree: Bonnie and Clyde meet Leopold and Loeb. In "Camp Allegheny", Lambda Literary Award winner Jeff Mann recounts a clandestine Civil War romance between two Rebel soldiers whose passionate lovemaking survives bitter winters, life-threatening sickness, and bloody fighting during the real-life Battle of Allegheny in 1861 and the Battle of McDowell in 1862. In "Tender Mercies", Dale Chase imagines the world of young Luke Farrow, a failure at prospecting during the California Gold Rush who succeeds in the more lucrative role of camp boy, where physical violence is as much a part of a rough, raw world as is selling sex for nuggets of gold - until a surprisingly tender man comes into Luke's life. In "The Valley of Salt", David Holly blends legend with lust in the beautiful city of Gomorrah more than 3,000 years ago, where the Priests of Baal summon a beautiful young man as a temple sacrifice - which means he's now the indoor sport of the legendary city's sexually potent warriors, until taken captive during the Battle of the Vale of Siddom. ungekürzt.

Genghis Khan, the myth, the man, the legend....Major metropolises would become ghost towns upon his arrival. Grown men would shake in fear at just the mention of his name, not even wanting to speak it lest the doom he wrought come down upon them.

For the superstitiously inclined of the ancient world, the destruction and chaos Genghis Khan engendered was so thoroughly complete that they believed he must have been sent by God to punish them. For them, the Mongols riding rapidly across the steppes toward their various homelands seemed to be nothing short of the horsemen of the apocalypse. When Khan arrived, the end was near. But who was Genghis Khan? We have heard many apocalyptic and dire descriptions, but who was he really? From his days as a poor and persecuted forager of the steppes to his years as world conqueror, this audiobook follows all the twists, turns, and gallops of Genghis Khan’s life.
