    In this current context of desperate geopolitical upheaval, there is no better time to address oneness, reconciliation and a statement of otherness beyond the limitations of contemporary media. The Holy Land: Contemporary Visions and Scriptures seeks dialogue with ancient lands and sacred spaces along with modern visions of the people who inhabit them and the burgeoning contradictions of their daily lives. It attempts to address and liberate a complex, profound relationship between man and territory since the beginning of time, and nowhere is this dynamic more prescient than in the Holy Land. ungekürzt.

    The Blind Watchmaker : Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 880min
    The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte. Natural selection - the unconscious, automatic, blind, yet essentially nonrandom process Darwin discovered - is the blind watchmaker in nature. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    An Ideal Husband , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min
    A tender love story, a serpentine villainess, a glittering setting in London society, and a showering of Wildean witticism are only a few of the reasons why this play has enjoyed hugely successful revivals in London, in New York, and on the silver screen. This 1895 drama is eerily prescient, as it examines the plight of a promising politician, desperate to hide a secret in his past. With empathy and wit, Oscar Wilde explores the pitfalls of holding public figures to higher standards than the rest of us. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Bliss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 772min
    Peter Carey's first novel and first Miles Franklin winner, Bliss remains a work ahead of its time.  It takes dying during a heart attack for Harry Joy to realise that the life he thought was happy is actually hellish. His wife is a cheat, his kids are a source of shame, his company spruiks carcinogens.  While Harry is resuscitated, he will never be the same, for, having seen his own misery, he can no longer deny the injustice around him. But before he can be redeemed, a whole new perdition awaits him in this darkly funny and prescient fable about the idiocy of defiling nature. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Humphrey Bower.
