Day of St. John the Evangelist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min

In the tumultuous days of the Reformation, the centerpiece of Luther’s ministry was his bold biblical preaching. Martin Luther, the reformer, theologian, author and polemicist is well known as hymn-writer, musician, teacher, and pastor to both clergy and laity. However, Luther saw himself as a preacher first. On religious holidays, he preached twice a day. The sermon "Day of St. John the Evangelist" is based on John 21:19-24, about Christ’s imminent death. At that time, Jesus reprimanded Peter for doing everything but that which he was supposed to do. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles May.

Jeremy Hardy Feels It: The BBC Radio 4 Comedy, Hörbuch, Digital, 111min

Jeremy Hardy returns with a brand-new series that not only seconds that emotion but explains it, too. Yes, BBC Radio 4's most passionate polemicist returns to the airwaves with a new format which promises to be both personal and profound, and to present sides of Jeremy you won't have heard before. He may even sing. (He won't sing.) The News Quiz and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue regular, proud progenitor of 10 series of Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation, and winner of numerous awards and almost certainly the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, Jeremy is famous for lines like: 'Kids should never be fashion slaves, especially in the Far East. My 12-year-old daughter asked me for a new pair of trainers. I told her she was old enough to go out and make her own' and, 'Islam is no weirder than Christianity. Both are just Judaism with the jokes taken out.' His unique worldview once lead him to be likened to 'an incendiary vicar'. Gillian Reynolds called him 'an idealist, a dissenter, a polemicist and moralist - he's a salutary reminder that jokes can, and should, be about big things'. The show is produced by Jeremy's long-standing accomplice, David Tyler, whose radio credits include Cabin Pressure, John Finnemore's Double Acts, Thanks a Lot, Milton Jones!, Marcus Brigstocke's The Brig Society, Kevin Eldon Will See You Now, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive, Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off, The Castle, The 99p Challenge, Deep Trouble, My First Planet, Radio Active and Bigipedia. His TV credits include Paul Merton - the Series, Spitting Image, Absolutely, The Paul Calf Video Diary, Coogan's Run and executive producing Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies. In the four shows, Jeremy is feeling, in turn, happy, sad, fearful and, finally, hopeful! Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Hardy.

He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2000 books and pamphlets.

The Servile State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 251min

“To control the production of wealth is to control human life itself.” In this 1912 classic, wide-ranging polemicist Hilaire Belloc presents a new economic history of Europe and makes his case for "Distributism", the author’s answer to the instability of capitalism and the stringency of socialism. Belloc outlines the major economic transitions through the history of the West, arguing that the civilization began as servile and dependent upon slavery and only emerged with the advent of the Christian faith. The Middle Ages are highlighted as the optimal condition, marked by a fair distribution of property. According to Belloc, distributism failed as a result of the government’s dissolution of monasteries, which led to the development of the unstable capitalist and socialist states. Largely regarded as one of Belloc’s most compelling works, and certainly one of the more controversial, The Servile State serves as a paragon in unconventional thinking and Belloc’s signature lucid prose. ungekürzt.

Germaine: The Life of Germaine Greer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 868min

Intellectual. Feminist. Polemicist. Provocateur. This riveting biography of Germaine Greer traces the personal and political history of one of the most important, radical, and controversial women of 20th and 21st century feminism. It reveals how her public persona has shifted with time from '60s trailblazer to present-day rabble-rouser, and why she endures as a subject of fascination. This is the first biography of Greer for two decades, drawing on unprecedented access to her extensive personal archive, opened at Melbourne University in 2016. Kleinhenz has interrogated Greer's personal and professional files, spoken to people who have known her from her school days onwards, and read every word written by and about her. Beginning with Greer’s troubled early life in 1940s Melbourne, it traces her career, her relationships with men and women, her travels and her home life and examines Greer’s work and ideas from The Female Eunuch to the #MeToo movement. The result is a rich, detailed portrait of a woman rightly both legendary and notorious - revealed here in all her glories, weaknesses and contradictions. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Summary of Alexander Hamilton: by Ron Chernow | Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min

Summary of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow | Includes Analysis Preview: Alexander Hamilton (2004) is a sprawling biography of one of the most important figures in American history. It is based on copious original research, especially into Hamilton's early years. As a political theorist, a polemicist, and the first Treasury secretary, Hamilton dedicated his life, his intellect, and a seemingly limitless stream of words to the cause of unifying and strengthening the United States. He did perhaps more than any other one person to ensure the strength of the American union, even as his pride and hotheadedness kept him from the presidency and led to his early death. Hamilton claimed to have been born on the island of Nevis in the British West Indies, probably in 1755. Orphaned and illegitimate, Hamilton had perhaps the least advantageous childhood of all the founders. He apprenticed as a clerk with merchant trader Thomas Stevens, a man who may have been his biological father…. PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min

The hottest and most controversial book of the year! Find out who really controls the media in America.“[Ann Coulter] is never in doubt. And that, along with her bright writing, sense of irony and outrage, and her relish at finally hitting back at political opponents (especially in the media) is what makes Slander such refreshing and provocative reading.” (Los Angeles Times)“[Ann Coulter] is a fluent polemicist with a gift for Menckenesque invective...and she can harness such language to subtle, syllogistic argument.” (Washington Post Book World) “The most popular nonfiction book in America.” (New York Times) “The real value of Slander...is not in the jokes or devastating exposés of liberal politicians and their allies, but the serious and scholarly study of just how entrenched the media prejudice is against anyone whose politics are even faintly conservative.” (New York Sun) “Written with a great deal of passion...the real source of its strength - and its usefulness - was its painstaking marshalling of evidence....More important than [High Crimes and Misdemeanors] because it addresses a much broader issue, and one of lasting significance.” (National Review) ungekürzt.

Buckley: William F. Buckley Jr. and the Rise of American Conservatism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 849min

William F. Buckley, Jr., was the foremost architect of the conservative movement that swept the American political landscape from the 1960s to the early 2000s. When Buckley launched National Review, in 1955, conservatism was a beleaguered, fringe segment of the Republican Party. Three decades later Ronald Reagan - who credited National Review with shaping his beliefs - was in the White House. Buckley and his allies devised a new-model conservatism that replaced traditional ideals with a passionate belief in the free market, religious faith, and an aggressive stance on foreign policy. Buckley was an eloquent writer and brilliant polemicist whose works are still required texts for conservatives. His TV show, Firing Line, and his campaign for mayor of New York City made him a celebrity; his wit and zest for combat made conservatism fun. But Buckley was far more than a controversialist. Deploying his uncommon charm, shrewdly building alliances, and refusing to compromise on core principles, he almost single-handedly transformed conservatism from a set of retrograde attitudes into a revolutionary force. Scholar Carl T. Bogus gives us the most authoritative biography ever published of this vital, larger-than-life figure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Ashby.
