    Dear Mama, Gus came into my life several years ago. During my final year of college, I was abducted by a vampire. To say the big oaf saved me from certain doom is an overstatement, but that's how we met. Honestly, I have a tough time thinking about it. Between the kidnapping and all the carnage that followed, I changed. A lot. That was the first time I died. That was the night everything fell apart. Love, Millie. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Ghost in the Machine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    Rule number one: Run from the Shadows. Unless one knows the secret that will save you.I live in a world of waifs and shadows. "Live" might be an overstatement. I scrounge and scramble and survive in an atmosphere made thick and gray by the ashes of the Fallen. And sometimes I dream of sunlight. My parents were taken, even though they followed all the rules. Never scavenge at night. Never talk to Shadows. Don't fight the Sweepers. Run. Run. Run.Now that they've taken my little brother, Douglas, I've realized I've only been surviving for him. I have two choices: Follow him or lie down and die. I can't just quit after years of struggle. I wouldn't know how if I tried. Determination is all I have left.And then I meet "him".He claims to be a rogue who can help me find my brother. It's got to be a lie. But I don t run. I stop. I listen. And I make a deal with a Shadow even though I know it will mean the death of me."Never talk to Shadows."But no one ever told me what would happen if I kissed one. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Fresh Air, Jonathan Landay and Daniel Benjamin, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min
    Journalist Jonathan Landay and former White House Director of Counterterrorism Daniel Benjamin on this edition of Fresh Air. Jonathan Landay co-wrote an article called "Officials' Private Doubts on Iraq War. The piece appeared yesterday in newspapers owned by the Knight-Ridder-Tribune News Service, including the Philadelphia Inquirer. Landay and co-writers say that "Intelligence professionals and diplomats...privately have deep misgivings about the administration's double-time march toward war." Misinformation includes distortion of Saddam Hussein's ties with al-Qaeda, overstatement of international support, and understatement of repercussions of a Middle East war. Daniel Benjamin has co-authored the new book, The Age of Sacred Terror with Steven Simon, the former Senior Director of Counterterrorism. Benjamin and Simon began writing the book more than a year before September 11, 2001. As Director and Co-Director at the National Security Council, they saw the rise of al-Qaeda. They warned about the new generation of terrorists. The book still sets out to accomplish its original goal: to understand the enemy. Additionally, the authors wish to explain how we let our defenses down and what to expect in the future. (Broadcast Date: October 9, 2002) Language: English. Narrator: Terry Gross.

    Modern Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min
    “Love at first sight wasn’t meant for millennials.” So thinks Alice Aberdeen - art student, recovering addict, David Bowie enthusiast. Alice is among the recently dumped and just wants to keep her nose down until she finishes her degree. Her sister, Emma, has other ideas and sets her up with new-in-town Warinder “Will” Murphy - tall, dark, and aloof. To say it isn’t love at first sight is an overstatement. He finds her too abrasive, with her sharp tongue and a don’t-screw-with-me attitude. She thinks he’s too reserved, too damn serious. But the more time Alice spends with Will, the more their slow burn begins to thaw her heart. A man of two worlds, half-Irish, half-Indian Will Murphy feels at home only when he’s with Alice. He soon realizes that her tough shell is hiding a lot of scar tissue, from her trials with addiction and recovery to her spectacularly bad ex-girlfriend Jamie, to the loss of her mother. Modern Love isn’t a story about love at first sight; it’s about learning to love yourself before being able to see the one you love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Becci Martin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/119907/bk_acx0_119907_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Last Days of Stalin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
    A scholarly, absorbing narrative of Stalin's last days and the turbulent wake of his dictatorship. Joshua Rubenstein's riveting account takes us back to the second half of 1952, when no one could foresee an end to Joseph Stalin's murderous regime. He was poised to challenge the newly elected US president, Dwight Eisenhower, with armed force and was also broadening a vicious campaign against Soviet Jews. Stalin's sudden collapse and death in March 1953 was as dramatic and mysterious as his life. It is no overstatement to say that his passing marked a major turning point in the 20th century. The Last Days of Stalin is an engaging, briskly told account of the dictator's final active months, the vigil at his deathbed, and the unfolding of Soviet and international events in the months after his death. Rubenstein throws fresh light on the devious plotting of Beria, Malenkov, Khrushchev, and other "comrades-in-arms" who well understood the significance of the dictator's impending death; the witness-documented events of his death as compared to official published versions; Stalin's rumored plans to forcibly exile Soviet Jews; the responses of Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles to the Kremlin's conciliatory gestures after Stalin's death; and the momentous repercussions when Stalin's regime of terror was cut short. ungekürzt.

    Lives of the Novelists , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
    Is there a right way to write a literary life? In this collection of columns from the New York Sun, Carl Rollyson explores the relationship between narrative and literary analysis. Should biographies be written in the style and form of novels? How do you balance the life and the work? How much literary criticism can a biography absorb into its narrative? Rollyson proposes a number of apologias for biography, including the thought that in the right hands the literary biography is a continuation of the writer's work and life. In such instances, there seems to be a symbiosis between the biographer and subject. In other cases, biographies spearhead the rediscovery of important writers. He rejects the idea that literary figures are not good subjects for biography because they are not men and women of action. That literary biography is a kind of strip mining, a pathography laying bare the subject's life to no good purpose is another canard this book demolishes. The pieces here also expose the genre's weak points: a proclivity for overstatement and excessive length, and the failure of biographers to build upon their predecessors' work (Rollyson invents a term - biographology - in order to discuss the biographical tradition). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas D. Hand. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/045558/bk_acx0_045558_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Vitus Rapide 29 CRS Mountain Bike (2022) - Hard Tail Mountainbikes
    The Rapide 29 CRS features RockShox SID SL Select forks, Shimano SLX 12 speed gears, plus powerful SLX hydraulic disc brakes. It’s your ultimate hardtail cross country (XC) machine. Cross Country (XC) hardtail descriptions are typically littered with overstatement; like Rocketship, course-crusher and game-changer. Yawn. There's no need to lay it on thick or exaggerate, just have fun and get the job done. The Vitus Rapide CRS Mountain Bike does all the talking for itself, on the flowing trails, the marathon days and in the frenetic cross country races. The joy of this proven race-ready carbon hardtail is that it easily meets the demands of cross-country, with stiffness that converts power instantly into trail speed and obedient handling that gives you back precious seconds. Attack the climbs, attack out of corners and back yourself to attack off the front. The lightweight carbon frame is equipped with components that are dialled for performance. Rockshox SID SL Select forks can be instantly locked out with the OneLoc remote so that you can carry speed up and over climbs. A 12-speed Shimano SLX groupset is a knowing sign that this bike is reliable no matter the race day conditions. If you want to go chasing for the front of the pack then this bike has the pedigree. But it’s pointless being able to smoke the climbs if the bike then lets you down in the descent, because XC racing is about having the all-round edge and you need a bike that can rail the racing line. And that’s what makes it fun, right? Racing on a bike that feels fast and delivers for you as a rider. The Rapide CRS will instill a high level of confidence in you, as when you need acceleration and traction, they are available and when you hit the technical stuff and the nervy descents the control and balance keep the handling honest. You’re less tense. Looser, fresher and less fatigued. It's a lightweight hardtail, yes, but the Rapide CRS brings both comfort and performance.
