    Jacques der Fatalist und sein Herr
    Denis Diderot, der vielleicht klügste, sicher aber heiterste und menschlichste der französischen Aufklärer, schenkte uns mit seinem Roman 'Jacques der Fatalist und sein Herr' die Summe seiner ironischen Beschäftigung mit Philosophie und Ästhetik. Diderot sprüht vor Erzähllust und schickt sein Protagonistenpaar, das an Don Quijote und Sancho Pansa erinnert, auf eine Reise durch Frankreich. Die beiden erörtern auf geistreiche Weise unablässig philosophische Fragen während sie reiten und rasten, in Wirtshäusern einkehren, dort mit anderen reden und bis tief in die Nacht Wein trinken. Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel schöpft in seiner Neuübersetzung die Lakonie und den pointierten Rhythmus des Originals voll aus und bietet dem Leser die Möglichkeit, Diderot als Zeitgenossen zu lesen.

    The Fatalist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 774min
    As seen on Australian Story. 'I first met Lindsey Rose playing pool at The Burwood Hotel in 1988. I was two years out of high school. He'd already committed three murders. None of us knew.' 'We knew he was a brothel owner, we knew not to get on his wrong side, but we knew nothing of his lives past: fitter and turner, ambulance officer, private investigator, car thief, hijacker, arsonist, mercenary, drug dealer. Murderer.' 'I drank at The Burwood on and off for six years. The last time I saw Lindsey as a free man was in early 1994, when he came to a poker game at my home. By then he'd committed two more murders - on Valentine's Day 1994 - and that made five.' What factors are at play in the creation of a cold-blooded killer? How can a relaxed, sociable, loving man with a strong work ethic keep the truth of his inner life, his dark side, hidden from friends, family and even the woman he marries? Informed by the science of criminal psychology, court documents and transcripts, correspondence and many interviews with Rose in the notorious Goulburn Supermax prison, Campbell McConachie's account is a unique and fascinating journey into the life and mind of a multiple murderer. ungekürzt.

    Jacques and His Master: A Play , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
    Jacques and His Master is a deliciously witty and entertaining "variation" on Diderot's novel Jacques le Fatalist, written for Milan Kundera's "private pleasure" in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. When the "heavy Russian irrationality" fell on Czechoslovakia, Milan Kundera explains, he felt drawn to the spirit of the eighteenth century - "And it seemed to me that nowhere was it to be found more densely concentrated than in that banquet of intelligence, humor, and fantasy, Jacques le Fataliste." The upshot was this "Homage to Diderot," which has now been performed throughout the United States and Europe. Here, Jacques and His Master, newly translated by Simon Callow, is a text that will delight Kundera's admirers throughout the English-speaking world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 964min
    Must we age? A long life in a healthy, vigorous, youthful body has always been one of humanity's greatest dreams. Recent progress in genetic manipulations and calorie-restricted diets in laboratory animals hold forth the promise that someday science will enable us to exert total control over our own biological aging. Nearly all scientists who study the biology of aging agree that we will someday be able to substantially slow down the aging process, extending our productive, youthful lives. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is perhaps the most bullish of all such researchers. As has been reported in media outlets ranging from 60 Minutes to The New York Times, Dr. de Grey believes that the key biomedical technology required to eliminate aging-derived debilitation and death entirely - technology that would not only slow but periodically reverse age-related physiological decay, leaving us biologically young into an indefinite future - is now within reach. In Ending Aging, Dr. de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae describe the details of this biotechnology. They explain that the aging of the human body, just like the aging of man-made machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage. As with man-made machines, this damage can periodically be repaired, leading to indefinite extension of the machine's fully functional lifetime, just as is routinely done with classic cars. We already know what types of damage accumulate in the human body, and we are moving rapidly toward the comprehensive development of technologies to remove that damage. By demystifying aging and its postponement for the non-specialist listener, de Grey and Rae systematically dismantle the fatalist presumption that aging will forever defeat the efforts of medical science. ungekürzt.
