    The Sunday Sessions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
    A collection of Larkin's best-known poems, read by the poet. The Sunday Sessions consists of 26 poems, the contents of two tapes recorded by Philip Larkin in Hull in February 1980 - reportedly each on a Sunday, after lunch with John Weeks, a sound engineer and colleague of the poet. The tapes, which contain work from Larkin's first major collection, The North Ship, as well as poems from his best-known collections, The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows, remained "lost" for over two decades, lying on a shelf in the garage in which they had been recorded. Since their rediscovery they have been the subject of widespread media attention, including a BBC Radio 4 Archive Hour documentary. Their contents are here published in full for the first time. Larkin's reading captures each poem with great clarity of speech and with a plainness which serves only to enhance the work. The Sunday Sessions presents a remarkable overview of Larkin's writing career, but above all it is to be heard for the pleasure it offers, and for the opportunity it provides to encounter Larkin's work afresh. ungekürzt.

All who practice these principles will succeed; failure is not an option.In writing this book, all other considerations have been sacrificed to plainness and simplicity of style so that all might understand it. The plan of action laid down herein is the byproduct of some of the greatest success philosophies ever deduced. It has been thoroughly tested and bears the supreme test of practical experiment. It works.If you wish to reap the fruits of these philosophies in actual practice, listen to this audiobook repeatedly and do exactly what it tells you to do. The proven success science system herein is guaranteed to change your life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kris Keppeler.

    The Science of Getting Rich , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
    Originally published in 1910, this audiobook takes the mystery out of the accumulation of wealth and breaks it down into a scientific formula. Here is an excerpt from the Preface of the audiobook: This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached. It is expected that the listener will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible... ...In writing this audiobook I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment: It works...and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, listen to this book and do exactly as it tells you to do. ungekürzt.

    Grading Garnet: The Red Petticoat Saloon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 243min
    Gloria Owens was not about to allow her father to marry her off to anyone, much less someone he actually had to pay to take her in the form of a very generous dowry. Money would not be enough for some poor man to overlook her plainness - of features and of speech. She never intended to marry. She had other plans - she wanted to teach as her mother had taught her as a child. Very neatly circumventing her father's wishes, Gloria got her certificate and found herself a job in Culpepper Cove, California, where she intended to be a very happy old maid schoolteacher until her dying day. But she hadn't accounted for the man who had offered her the job - the head of the school board - one Seth McIntrye. He seemed to take it upon himself to get under her skin to the point of deciding to appoint himself in charge of what he considered to be her desperate need for discipline. And she certainly hadn't accounted for the idea of seeing that man doing things to a woman that - if she were honest with herself - she would have preferred he do to her! What's more, not only was he technically her boss, but she had to live under his roof, which only gave him that many more reasons - excuses to paddle her behind. Under his guidance, Gloria learns that she shouldn't make hasty judgments about things and people she knows nothing about. Those beautiful women who work in The Red Petticoat Saloon are nothing like she imagined. They might be soiled doves, but each and every one has battled for their own dreams - was she really that different from the women who never hesitated to help another? When Seth sets her rear on fire and follows by igniting passion she never knew she was capable of, Gloria learns that there are lessons to be learned that weren’t found between the pages of any book. Would one afternoon of wild passion be enough to weaken Gloria’s plan on remaining a spinster or would Seth’s determination to corral the saucy Miss Owens have her b ungekürzt. Language: English.
