Hygge: Discover the Danish Art of Happiness and Coziness with This Nordic Concept. Learn How to Enjoy the Simple Things, Bring Relaxation in Your Life and Warmth in Your Relationships. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
Do you love curling up with a blanket, a coffee, and a good book? If you want to learn how to appreciate the little things and enjoy your life day by day, then keep reading...You might now be rehearsing Hygge longer than you may suspect. Hygge is a concept that began in Danish civilization, which spotlights on living with a sense of relaxation and stability. It’s been depicted as, "creating a warm atmosphere and getting a charge from these valuable things in life with fantastic individuals".The word “hygge” derives itself from a Norwegian word meaning “well-being”. As we know it, it first appeared in Danish writings in the 19th century and has since evolved to encompass an entire cultural phenomenon known most prominently in Denmark. That is the technical aspect of its linguistic history though, and every Dane you will ever come across will think of every other word in their language before deeming hygge “technical".When it comes to defining, categorizing, and identifying a feeling of hygge, the term “lifestyle” does not quite capture it. Hygge does not encompass rules, regulations, products, or even stereotypical mantras. It encompasses a feeling. This is the reason the Scandinavian word is untranslatable in many countries.For areas of the world that base their ideas of success, wealth, and growth on personal assets and analyzed statistics, the idea of utilizing emotion to, somehow, judge personal growth on these typical scales is foreign and nonsensical. Hygge is not merely the promotion of relaxation and comfort, though that is how one gauges whether or not hygge is being achieved. Promoting these aspects of life enable inward health, from physical healing to mental rejuvenation.The reduction of stresses and anxieties help the body heal from the damage that stress induces over long periods of time. The reduction of stress reduces levels of damaging chemicals, which can elicit everything from life-threatening ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sara Antoinette.

Cassada: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 289min
James Salter revisits his second novel, The Arm of Flesh, making extensive changes and rewriting many portions entirely. The resulting work Cassada combines the untamed vision of a young military pilot with the clarity and power of a masterful writer. James Salter is one of America's greatest prose stylists. His first two novels, The Hunters and The Arm of Flesh, are legendary in military circles for their descriptions of aerial combat. A former Air Force pilot who flew F-86 fighters in Korea, Salter writes with matchless insight about the terror and exhilaration of a pilot in wartime. The lives of officers in an Air Force squadron in occupied Europe encompass the contradictions of military experience and the men's response to a young newcomer, bright and ambitious, whose fate is to be an emblem of their own. In Cassada , Salter captures the strange comradeship of loneliness, trust, and alienation among military men ready to sacrifice all in the name of duty and pride. One of America's greatest prose stylists, James Salter is often praised by literary listeners for the clear, shimmering surface of his writing. His first two novels, The Hunters and The Arm of Flesh, are also known in military circles, where his descriptions of flying and combat are legendary. A former Air Force pilot who flew F-86 fighters in Korea, Salter writes with matchless insight about the terror and exhilaration that accompany a pilot in wartime. In returning to The Arm of Flesh forty years after writing it, Salter has identified structural weaknesses that have caused him to reconsider his second novel altogether. He is now engaged in a complete reworking of the narrative, an all-but-new novel entitled Cassada. The lives of officers in an Air Force squadron in occupied Europe - Captains Isbell and Wickenden, Lieutenants Sisse, Godchaux, Grace, and others - encompass the contradictions of military experience ungekürzt.

Full Heart/No Self: Being a Nobody, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min
We all want to "be somebody". But often, those who become somebody become statues, trapped in an identity that doesn't allow them to change or grow. Robert Fuller talks about his own struggle with being a nobody between periods of high recognition and status. He has learned to respect the "nobody" inside himself because "the nobody is actually the creative fellow, while the somebody is just the performer. When you're somebody that seems to become your core identity - but it's not; it's really just a set of clothes you wear for awhile". Fuller broadens the dialogue to encompass the rampant "rankism" in our culture, from politics to working life, to our basic family structure. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Toms.

Followed by Frost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
Seventeen-year-old Smitha has the wealth, status, and beauty that make her the envy of her town - until she rejects a strange man's marriage proposal, and disastrous consequences follow. Smitha becomes cursed, and frost begins to encompass everything she touches. Banished to the hills, hunted by villagers, and chilled to the very core of her soul, she finds companionship with Death, who longs to coax her into his isolated world. But Smitha's desire for life proves stronger than despair, and a newfound purpose gives her renewed hope. Will regrets over the past and an unexpected desire for a man she cannot touch be enough to warm Smitha's heart, or will Death forever still it? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela Dawe.

Cezanne at the Tate: A View from the Enclosure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min
This essay considers the major Cézanne exhibition at the Tate Gallery London, staged from 8th February until 28th April 1995. Rather than focusing exclusively on the artist's work, the piece attempts to place the exhibition in context, exploring the institutional arena of presentation and the social and economic strata to which the retrospective is mainly addressed. To encompass these multiple levels of attention, the essay is based on a journey through the exhibition, seen at the press view on 6th February 1995. The record is intentionally discursive, entwining impressions both of the works and the audience, groups of media professionals moving from room to room in sequence around the show. ungekürzt.
