    Bohunk's Redemption: From Blacking Out to Showing Up: A Doctor's Adventures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 911min
    Bohunk’s Redemption is a riveting and unique recovery memoir unlike any other! Told through the humorous and straightforward lens of a psychiatrist and attorney, 40 years clean and sober in Alcoholics Anonymous. When young Jewish Catholic “Bohunk” heads to college, he aspires to become a doctor, but fulfills his family destiny of alcoholism instead. Drinking his way through medical school, and getting hooked on easy-to-access narcotics along the way, Bohunk inescapably finds himself at the precipice of death. After he emerges from a suicidal, drug-induced coma, he finally decides to confront his greatest fears and commits to live. In his empowered and invigorated life of recovery, Bohunk walks you through the 12 steps of AA. He quixotically sets out to change the world by becoming an educator, addiction psychiatrist, and attorney to help similarly situated addicts. However, along the way, his life is not short of personal drama - he marries, divorces, and with the help of US politicians and infamous private detectives, retrieves his two abducted daughters from South America! This highly entertaining memoir will leave you in awe of how one man simply survived, let alone ultimately prevailed, against all odds. ungekürzt.

    The Mystery of Charles Dickens, Hörbuch, Digital, 106min
    In this BBC Radio adaptation of Peter Ackroyd's spectacular one-man show, Simon Callow portrays both Charles Dickens and many of his best-loved characters, from Mr. Micawber and Bill Sikes to Oliver Twist and Nancy. Readings from his novels interweave with the author's own words and an incisive, compassionate narrative. Dickens' idyllic childhood in Chatham was swapped for his family's penurious existence in London. With his father imprisoned for debt, young Charles was deprived of an education and forced to work in a blacking factory. Such experiences molded him into the fiercely industrious, ambitious writer who would later claim that his characters talked to and touched him. Full of fascinating insight, the play illustrates how Dickens never quite managed to escape the dark shadows cast by his earlier life. Featuring material not included in the radio broadcast, this production is prefaced with an introduction by Callow himself. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Callow.

    Photography and Political Repressions in Stalin's Russia (eBook, PDF)
    This book is devoted to the phenomenon of removal of people declared "public enemies" from group photographs in Stalin's Russia. The book is based on long-term empirical research in Russian archives and includes 57 photographs that are exceptional in terms of historical interest: all these images bear traces of editing in the form of various marks, such as blacking-out, excisions or scratches. The illustrative materials also include a group of photographs with inscriptions left by officers of Stalin's secret police, the NKVD. To approach this extensive visual material, Denis Skopin draws on a wealth of Stalin-era written sources: memoirs, diaries and official documents. He argues that this kind of political iconoclasm cannot be confused with censorship nor vandalism. The practice in question is more harrowing and morally twisted, for in most cases the photos were defaced by those who were part of victim's intimate circle: his/her colleagues, friends or even close family members. The book will be of interest to scholars working in history of photography, art history, visual culture, Russian studies and Russian history and politics.

    Hard Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
    Exclusively from Audible Despite the title, Dickens's portrayal of early industrial society is less relentlessly grim than that in novels by contemporaries such as Elizabeth Gaskell or Charles Kingsley. Hard Times weaves the tale of Thomas Gradgrind, a hard-headed politician who raises his children Louisa and Tom without love and to have no empathy, their lives completely devoid of beauty, culture, or imagination. Only after a series of crises does their father realise that the manner in which he raised his children has ruined their lives. Other characters include Sissy, the circus girl with love to spare who is deserted and adopted into the Gradgrind family, as well as the honest mill worker Stephen Blackpool and the bombastic mill owner Josiah Bounderby. The story is a vehement condemnation of industrialisation and its dehumanising effects on its workers and communities in mid-19th-century England. George Orwell praised Dickens and the novel for its 'generous anger.' Concentrated and compressed in its narrative form, Hard Times is at once a fable, an audiobook of ideas, and a social story that seeks to engage directly and analytically with political issues. It may be one of Dickens's shortest works but it is also one of his triumphs. One of eight children, Dickens came from a very poor family, with his father eventually being sent to debtor's prison. At the age of 12, Dickens was forced to start work in a blacking factory in order to help clear the family debt. His troublesome childhood likely contributed to some of the novel's ideas and lent him a sympathetic voice for the poor. Due to his vivid depictions of the poverty-stricken, 'Dickensian' has ingrained itself in the English language, becoming the choice word to describe an unacceptable level of poverty. Narrator Biography Martin Jarvis is one of Britain's most admired actors. His audiobook output is legendary. He is ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Jarvis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/000896/bk_bbcw_000896_sample.mp3.
