    The Sonnets of William Shakespeare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 145min
    Many masters employed the form of the sonnet, including Petrarch, Spenser, Shakespeare, Keats, and Robert Bridges. However, the most celebrated, and oft quoted, examples are to be found in the collection by Shakespeare, first published in 1609. In the 154 poems, Shakespeare surveys and dissects the subject of love in all its guises, and its relationship with youth, age, illness, death, and memory. Had no other works by Shakespeare survived, this collection alone would have established his position among the greatest of English poets. Narrated by Denis Daly. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Art of the Infinite: The Pleasures of Mathematics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
    The Art of the Infinite takes infinity, in its countless guises, as a touchstone for understanding mathematical thinking. Robert and Ellen Kaplan guide us through the “Republic of Numbers,” where we meet both its upstanding citizens and its more shadowy dwellers; and transport us across the plane of geometry into the unlikely realm where parallel lines meet. The journey is enriched by deft character studies of great mathematicians (and equally colorful lesser ones). And as we go deeper into infinity, we explore the most profound mystery of mathematics: Are its principles eternal truths that we discover? Or ones that we invent? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Noch immer schwelt die Glut
    Pierre de Siorac, frischgebackener Mediziner und Hugenott, hat durch Freundeshilfe das Massaker der Bartholomäusnacht überlebt und kehrt zwei Jahre später nach Paris zurück. König Heinrich III. hat ihn zum Leibarzt ernannt, aber bald wird er vor allem dessen Geheimagent in heiklen politischen Missionen. Denn Frankreich ist noch immer ein tief zerrissenes Land, die Katholische Liga in Gestalt des mächtigen Herzogs von Guise macht Front gegen den König, der im Staatsinteresse zwischen Katholiken und Protestanten zu vermitteln sucht. Spanien steht hinter den einen, England hinter den anderen. Das mörderische Duell zwischen Heinrich und Guise bestimmt über ein Jahrzehnt die französische Politik.Verkleidet als Tuchhändler, Putzmachermeister, königlicher Leibgardist, reist Pierre durchs Land, besteht Abenteuer, Duelle und Attentate, trifft Spione und Gegenspione. Er reist zu Heinrich von Navarra in den hugenottischen Süden. Er reist zu Königin Elisabeth nach London. Sein Husarenstückaber: Während eines nicht ganz freiwilligen Beischlafs mit der erzkatholischen Herzogin von Montpensier stiehlt er dieser einen Brief Guises an den König von Spanien und hat damit den entscheidenden Beweis für Guises Landesverrat in Händen.Robert Merles Romanfolge "Fortune de France" ist das farbenprächtige Gemälde einer der dramatischsten Zeiten in der französischen Geschichte: des Bürgerkriegs zwischen Katholiken und Hugenotten. In seinem Zentrum steht der Chevalier Pierre de Siorac, nunmehr Arzt und Geheimagent König Heinrichs III. Das Massaker der Bartholomäusnacht, dem er gerade noch entronnen ist, liegt zwei Jahre zurück. Aber noch immer schwelt die Glut und wird aufs neue geschürt durch die "Liga" des Herzogs von Guise, der den König über Jahre hinweg zu einem mörderischen Machtkampf fordert. Pierres Charme, sein perfekter Degen und sein gutes Englisch auf internationalem Parkett machen ihn in dieser gefährlichen Auseinandersetzung zum Helden par excellence."Robert Merle ist einer der ganz wenigen französischen Schriftsteller, der sowohl den Erfolg beim Publikum als auch die Achtung der Kritik errungen hat."

    Written in Bone (eBook, ePUB)
    A killer on the loose. A murder disguised as an accident. As a favour to a colleague, Dr David Hunter is on the remote Hebridean island of Runa to inspect a grisly discovery. He's familiar with death in all its guises but is shocked by what he finds: a body, incinerated but for the feet and a single hand. It appears to be a textbook case of spontaneous human combustion. The local police are certain it's an accidental death but to Hunter the scorched remains suggest otherwise, And as the isolated community considers the enormity of Hunter's findings, a catastrophic storm hits the island. The power goes down, communication with the outside world ceases . . .And the killing begins in earnest.
