    I, Antigone (MP3-Download)
    "I, Antigone, have closed my eyes.My voice is deep and quiet, dark and slow, like a river moving over rocks, never stopping, never ceasing, endless. He was wholly at fault, and he was entirely innocent. This is true of us all if we only knew it. His fate is everyone's.I, Antigone, have opened my eyes."The mythical Greek king, Oedipus, is no stranger to tragedy. As a baby, he is left to die on the mountainside of Thebes by his royal parents after the Oracle of Delphi prophesies that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Pitied by the shepherd tasked with leaving him, Oedipus is given to another royal family and grows up ignorant of his past as a foreign prince.Returning to Thebes by chance many years later, he defeats the Sphinx terrorising the city by answering her riddle and becomes king. From here on a series of tragic events begin to unfurl...Many years later, his daughter Antigone takes on the role of biographer and is determined to set the record straight about her father's life and death. In a beautiful retelling of the popular myth, Antigone meditates on the illusion of free will, the power of fate, and her powerful family's demise. An astonishing contribution to the reclaimed classics, "I, Antigone" is perfect for fans of Madeleine Miller, Jennifer Saint and Elodie Harper. -

    A spellbinding new talent explores the dark side of creativity through the stories of thirteen tragic architects 'What a sensible, intelligent and beautiful book' Stefan Hertmans, author of War and Turpentine In thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their architects - architects who either killed themselves or are rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC., and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture, patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? Threaded through each story, and in prose of great essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of suicide - what Albert Camus called the 'one truly serious philosophical problem' - in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking new ground in literary non-fiction, as well as providing solace and consolation - and a note of caution - to anyone who has ever risked their hand at a creative act.

    Fermentation as Metaphor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
    In 2012, Sandor Ellix Katz published The Art of Fermentation, which quickly became the bible for foodies around the world, a runaway best seller, and a James Beard Book Award winner. Since then, his work has gone on to inspire countless professionals and home cooks worldwide, bringing fermentation into the mainstream.In Fermentation as Metaphor, stemming from his personal obsession with all things fermented, Katz meditates on his art and work, drawing connections between microbial communities and aspects of human culture: politics, religion, social and cultural movements, art, music, sexuality, identity, and even our individual thoughts and feelings. He informs his arguments with his vast knowledge of the fermentation process, which he describes as a slow, gentle, steady, yet unstoppable force for change.Throughout this truly one-of-a-kind book, Katz showcases 50 mesmerizing, original images of otherworldly beings from an unseen universe - images of fermented foods and beverages that he has photographed using both a stereoscope and electron microscope - exalting microbial life from the level of “germs” to that of high art. When you see the raw beauty and complexity of microbial structures, Katz says, they will take you “far from absolute boundaries and rigid categories. They force us to reconceptualize. They make us ferment”.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Still Life with Brook Trout , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writersIn Still Life with Brook Trout, John Gierach demonstrates once again that fishing, when done right, is as much a philosophical pursuit as a sport. Gierach travels to Wyoming and Maine and points in between, searching out new fly-fishing adventures and savoring familiar waters with old friends. Along the way he meditates on the importance of good guides ("really, the only thing a psychiatrist can do that a good guide can't is write prescriptions"), the challenge of salmon fishing ("salmon prowl - if they're not here now, they could be here in half an hour...or tomorrow...or next month"), and the zen of fishing alone ("I also enjoy where my mind goes when I'm fishing alone, which is usually nowhere in particular and by a predictable route"). On a more serious note, he ponders the damaging effects of disasters both natural and man-made: drought, wildfires, and the politics of dam-building, among others.Reflecting on a trip to a small creek near his home, Gierach writes, "In my brightest moments, I think slowing down...has opened huge new vistas on my old home water. It's like a friendship that not only lasts, but gets better against the odds." Similarly, Still Life with Brook Trout proves that Gierach, like fly-fishing itself, becomes deeper and richer with time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Colacci.

    Medal of Honor: Profiles of America's Military Heroes from the Civil War to the Present, Hörbuch, Digital, 374min
    In 1863, President Lincoln first awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was created to boost morale among the Union rank and file. In the decades that followed, the award evolved to take on an almost sacred quality. Today, it remains the highest U.S. military decoration. Of the millions of Americans who have gone into combat in the past century, fewer than 1,300 have earned the Medal of Honor, and many of those were awarded for actions they did not survive. Their courageous and selfless feats in battle are barely conceivable.Medal of Honor portrays several recipients of the award, and examines what drove them to go so far above and beyond the call of duty. Among the stories are an accurate account of the life of the only woman ever to receive the medal, and of a soldier from the legendary WWII Japanese-American 442nd, who went on to earn the medal in the Korean War. This audio program tells not only of astonishing military actions but also, significantly, of the recipients' lives before and after their wartime experiences.In his moving commentary, acclaimed 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace places these actions in historical context and relates his own personal experiences in WWII and as a journalist covering recent wars. He also meditates on the meaning of courage and shows what we can all learn from these extraordinary individuals. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Culp, Ron McLarty, Harry Chase.

    Do you want to learn rapid and extreme weight loss for women who want to burn fat naturally while maintaining healthy eating habits with powerful guided sleep meditation, self-hypnosis, and motivational affirmations? If yes, then keep reading!Meditation is a changed state of awareness that cannot be produced by will or forced. In this regard, it is similar to sleep, because the more we want to sleep, the more alert we will be. Meditation usually refers to a state of mind whereby the body is consciously carefree and relaxed, and our spirit is let go of peace and concentration within ourselves. Meditation does not merely imply sitting or lying down for 5 to 10 minutes in silence. Meditation indeed demands mindful work. The mind must be relaxed and balanced. At the same time, the brain must be alert so that it does not allow any disturbing thoughts or desires to penetrate. We begin meditation with our effort. Still, when we delve intensely into ourselves, we see that it is not our individual self that allows us to enter the state of meditation. The Supreme or Creator meditates within and through us, with our deliberate attention and permission.This book covers the following topics:Hypnosis and other methods of losing weightHypnosis session to change bad habits into healthy and positive habitsHow to start doing self-hypnosisBenefits of meditationGuided meditation for weight lossStrategies and mind exercisesPositive affirmation to master the mindDeal with your emotions without using foodAnd much moreWant to know more about this book?
