    How to Be a Conservative , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
    What does it mean to be a conservative in an age so sceptical of conservatism? How can we live in the presence of our 'canonized forefathers' at a time when their cultural, religious and political bequest is so routinely rejected? With soft left-liberalism as the dominant force in Western politics, what can conservatives now contribute to public debate that will not be dismissed as pure nostalgia? In this highly personal and witty book, renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explains how to live as a conservative in spite of the pressures to exist otherwise. Drawing on his own experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life, Scruton argues that while humanity might survive in the absence of the conservative outlook, it certainly won't flourish. How to Be a Conservative is not only a blueprint for modern conservatism. It is a heartfelt appeal on behalf of old fashioned decencies and values, which are the bedrock of our weakened, but still enduring civilization. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ralph Lister.

    William Wells Brown: An African-American Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1220min
    Born into slavery in Kentucky, raised on the Western frontier on the farm adjacent to Daniel Boone’s, “rented” out in adolescence to a succession of steamboat captains on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the young man known as “Sandy” reinvented himself as “William Wells” Brown after escaping to freedom. He lifted himself out of illiteracy and soon became an innovative, widely admired, and hugely popular speaker on antislavery circuits (both American and British) and went on to write the earliest African American works in a plethora of genres: travelogue, novel (the now canonized Clotel), printed play, and history. He also practiced medicine, ran for office, and campaigned for Black uplift, temperance, and civil rights. Ezra Greenspan’s masterful work, elegantly written and rigorously researched, sets Brown’s life in the richly rendered context of his times, creating a fascinating portrait of an inventive writer who dared to challenge the racial orthodoxies and explore the racial complexities of nineteenth-century America.  ungekürzt.

    Space Dogs
    This fascinating book tells the story of the Soviet space dogs, illustrated with legendary photographer Martin Parr's vintage space-dog memorabilia.In the 1950s the space race between the USA and the USSR was well and truly on, and was for both a matter of pride and propaganda. But before man ventured into the cosmos, his four-legged friends would pave the way for space exploration.The first canine cosmonaut was Laika, meaning 'barker'. The little stray could never have anticipated that she would one day float 200 miles above the Moscow streets. She would be canonized as a proletarian hero, appearing on stamps, postcards and souvenirs. Her successors were Belka and Strelka, the first dogs to successfully return safely to Earth, and with them, the cult of the space dog was born.In a regime that eschewed celebrating individual achievement, the space dogs became Soviet superstars, with a vast array of merchandise, books and films in their honor.A must read for fans of Soviet Space Dogs by Olesya Turkina and Designed in the USSR: 1950-1989 by Moscow Design Museum.

    The Wonder-Worker of Padua , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
    St. Anthony of Padua (1195 - 1231) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He was born into a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal and later became a priest. He was noted by his contemporaries for his skillful preaching, knowledge of scripture, and unfailing love and devotion to the sick and the poor. He was one of the fastest canonized saints in church history and was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1946.There are many legends about this saint. For example, St. Anthony once went to preach in Rimini, where they treated him with contempt. So, instead he took himself to the shore and there began to preach to the fish. A great multitude of fish arrayed themselves around him. The citizens flocked to witness this marvel, and Anthony charged them with the fact that irrational fish were more receptive than the unfaithful of Rimini. At this point the people then gave ear to his sermons.This timeless, medieval classic is sure to delight listeners and enliven their faith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bobbie Helland.

    Saint Therese of Lisieux , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    If God grants my desires, my heaven will be spent on earth until the end of time. Yes, I will spend my heaven doing good on earth.... I will return! I will come down!Saint Therese of Lisiuex is one of the most powerful saints of the 20th century. We have never prayed for the intercession of another saint who lived so close to our time. She died in 1897 at the age of 24, and was canonized in 1925.When she died, she was virtually unknown, even in her own community. Within two years of her death, the power of her intercession began to be felt all over Europe. Prayers and novenas were made to her for favors, which were answered in abundance, usually preceded by the reception of a flower.She called herself the "Little Flower of Jesus", a name which has remained with her until today. The swiftness of time in which devotion to this saint grew would be called, in secular terms, a phenomenon. We call it a miracle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Lord, Penny Lord.
