    Letter to My Daughter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 152min
    For a world of devoted readers, a much-awaited new volume of absorbing stories and inspirational wisdom from one of our best-loved writers. Dedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to My Daughter reveals Maya Angelou's path to living well and living a life with meaning. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight. Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son. Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a lifelong endeavor, or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice, Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family. Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches; it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maya Angelou.

    I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason: A Cece Caruso Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min
    All that writer Cece Caruso -- a 39-year-old former beauty queen from New Jersey -- really wants to do is finish her biography of Erle Stanley Gardner so that she can finally stop obsessing about Perry Mason. Well, that and find a 1970 silk chiffon Ossie Clark to add to her collection of vintage clothing. And fix the broken front doorknob on her West Hollywood bungalow. But first she has to help save her daughter's foundering marriage, which is more than Cece could manage for her own.Everybody's got problems. In a last-ditch effort to kick a bad case of writer's block, Cece pays a visit to a prison inmate who had once corresponded with Gardner, pleading his innocence. Her impetuousness lands her smack in the middle of a case worthy of Perry Mason himself -- a double-edged mystery linking a forty-year-old murder to one where the body is still warm. Propelled by tenacity, curiosity, a sense of humor, and an understanding of human nature's dark side, Cece will channel the inner sleuth she never realized she possessed to find a killer who is all too real -- and all too close.I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason is hip, sexy, and smart. Susan Kandel has created an unforgettable cast of characters planted firmly in terra California. Join Cece as she breaks into crime scenes, outfoxes lawyers, rekindles a romance with a police detective, and -- oh, yes -- finally makes her peace with Perry Mason. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Greatest Battles in History: The Battle of Britain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
    The gratitude of every home in our island, in our empire, and indeed throughout the world except in the abodes of the guilty goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unweakened by their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of world war by their prowess and their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. (Winston Churchill, August 20, 1940) At the end of August 2012, the BBC ran a report about the commemoration of a young man who had been killed over 70 years earlier. "A Battle of Britain pilot who was killed when his Spitfire crashed following a dogfight in the skies above Kent has been honored. Flying Officer Oswald St John 'Ossie' Pigg lost his life in the crash at Elvey Farm on September 1, 1940. The 22-year-old had been involved in an aerial fight with a Messerschmitt. A plaque was unveiled near the site by his niece, Stephanie Haigh, and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight carried out a flypast on Thursday." Just 12 days before Pigg's death, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had already immortalized the men of the Royal Air Force with one of the West's most famous wartime quotes. But the sentiment and gratitude Churchill expressed back in 1940 is very much alive today. The sacrifice made by "the few", the British and Allied fighter pilots who won the Battle of Britain in 1940, remains close to the hearts of the British public. The piece by the BBC is typical of the national sentiment manifested in air shows, museums, TV programs, and books. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Andrew Hodges.

    Swamplandia! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 787min
    From the celebrated 29-year-old author of the everywhere-heralded short-story collection St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves (“How I wish these were my own words, instead of the breakneck demon writer Karen Russell’s.... Run for your life. This girl is on fire," said the Los Angeles Times Book Review) comes a blazingly original debut novel that takes us back to the swamps of the Florida Everglades, and introduces us to Ava Bigtree, an unforgettable young heroine. The Bigtree alligator-wrestling dynasty is in decline, and Swamplandia!, their island home and gator-wrestling theme park, formerly number-one in the region, is swiftly being encroached upon by a fearsome and sophisticated competitor called the World of Darkness. Ava’s mother, the park’s indomitable headliner, has just died; her sister, Ossie, has fallen in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, who may or may not be an actual ghost; and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, who dreams of becoming a scholar, has just defected to the World of Darkness in a last-ditch effort to keep their family business from going under. Ava’s father, affectionately known as Chief Bigtree, is AWOL; and that leaves Ava, a resourceful but terrified thirteen, to manage 98 gators and the vast, inscrutable landscape of her own grief. Against a backdrop of hauntingly fecund plant life animated by ancient lizards and lawless hungers, Karen Russell has written an utterly singular novel about a family’s struggle to stay afloat in a world that is inexorably sinking. An arrestingly beautiful and inventive work from a vibrant new voice in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arielle Sitrick, David Ackroyd.

    Preisgekrönte Kinderfilme 2 DVD-Box
    Diese grandiosen Filme im Dreier-Pack versprechen jungen - und jung Gebliebenen - Abenteurern spannende Unterhaltung-> Sommer mit Onkel Erik (Dänemark 2001, 73 Min., FSK 6):Erik Lund ist Professor für Kinderpsychologie und für seine kinderfreundlichen Theorien bekannt. Als seine Schwester in den Urlaub fährt, hat er Gelegenheit seine Lehren in der Praxis an ihren fünf Kindern zu probieren. Doch Erik Lund hat die Rechnung ohne seine Neffen und Nichten gemacht. Für sie ist der wirklichkeitsfremde Onkel eine willkommene Abwechslung, und sie tanzen ihm nach Herzenslust auf der Nase herum. Als das alte, aber liebenswerte Haus der Familie verkauft werden soll, raufen sie sich zusammen...-> Das weiße Zauberpferd (Irland/GB 1992, 98 Min., FSK 6):Einst zog Papa Reilly mit seiner Familie als stolzer Nomade mit Pferd und Wagen quer durch Irland. Nach dem Tod seiner Frau hat er das freie Leben der Fahrenden Leute aufgegeben und vegetiert mit seinen beiden Söhnen Tito und Ossi in einer heruntergekommenen Sozialwohnung am Rande Dublins vor sich hin. Das wenige Geld, das er von der Fürsorge bekommt, gibt er meist schon am Monatsanfang für Alkohol aus, ab und zu verdient er mit Gelegenheitsjobs noch ein paar Pfund dazu. Das trostlose Leben der beiden Jungen ändert sich schlagartig, als ihr Großvater auf der Durchreise nach Dublin kommt. Denn diesmal hat der alten Mann nicht nur die Sagen und Märchen der Fahrenden Leute im Gepäck: ein weißer Hengst, der ihn seit einigen Tagen begleitet, ist ihm bis in die Stadt gefolgt. Der achtjährige Ossie freundet sich sofort mit dem geheimnisvollen Tier an, zwischen den beiden entsteht eine enge und geradezu magische Beziehung. Von nun an folgt das Pferd den beiden Kindern auf Schritt und Tritt, die Jungen beschließen, das Tier mit zu sich nach Haue zu nehmen. Ärger ist vorprogrammiert, denn ein Haustier von dieser Größe lässt sich in einem dünnwandigen Wohnblock schlecht geheim halten. Und so erstaunt es wenig, dass die Polizei schon kurze Zeit später bei Papa Reilly auftaucht, um Tir na nOg - der Name, den die Kinder dem Pferd gegeben haben bedeutet so viel wie "Land der ewigen Jugend" - abzuholen. Die Kinder sind untröstlich und wollen unbedingt "ihr" Pferd wiederhaben und machen sich auf die Suche, doch das Tier wurde inzwischen von einem Polizisten für viel Geld und ohne Genehmigung an einen Rennstallbesitzer verkauft. Als Tito und Ossie Tir na nOg während einer Rennveranstaltung im Fernsehen sehen, schöpfen sie wieder Hoffnung. Jetzt müssen sie den Schimmel nur noch aus dem Stall holen! Allerdings können sie dann schlecht wieder zurück nach Hause, denn eigentlich ist das, was sie vorhaben, ja Diebstahl. Die Brüder beschließen, von nun an "wie Cowboys" zu leben und westwärts zu reiten, Tito kann sich an das Leben auf der Straße, als sein Vater noch der "König der Fahrenden Leute" war, gut erinnern. Es gelingt den Kindern, Tir na nOg zu entführen, aber ganz so einfach und romantisch wie sie sich das Leben als Fahrende Leute vorgestellt haben, ist die Realität nicht. Außerdem sind die Polizei und der Rennstallbesitzer Noel Hartnett ihnen auf den Fersen. Das Verschwinden seiner beiden Söhne reißt auch Papa Reilly aus seiner Lethargie, voller Sorge begibt er sich auf die Suche nach ihnen. Als er seine Freunde bei den Fahrenden Leuten um Hilfe bittet, gerät die Suche nach den beiden Kindern immer mehr zu einer dramatischen wie hoffnungsvollen Reise in seine eigene Vergangenheit ...Ein modernes Märchen voller Abenteuer und Geheimnisse!-> Scars (Norwegen/Schweden 2002, 73 Min., FSK 6):Dem elfjährigen Viktor ist sein älterer Bruder Ole ein großes Vorbild und wichtiger Ratgeber, sowohl im Sport als auch im Umgang mit den Mädchen. Vor allem möchten Viktor und seine beiden Freunde den Mädchen seiner Schule imponieren. Deshalb gründen sie kurzer Hand eine Band. Noch bevor sie ihre Instrumente beherrschen, üben sie sich auch schon im Autogramm-Schreiben. Doch ihre Rechnung um die weiblichen Fans scheint nicht so recht aufzugehen...Als Viktors Bruder Ole Kristian schwer erkrankt, gilt es für Viktor eine ganze Reihe anderer Probleme zu lösen.

    Takenote!: Darren Anderton: The Autobiography with Mike Donovan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
    This is a truthful and enlightening biography, told from the heart. It includes new revelations, which will shock and intrigue fans. It features high-quality full-colour photos. Darren Anderton's story is of a kid who grows up to live the dream of being a professional footballer at the highest level. He shines for his country in major finals, develops a reserved 'Mr Nice Guy' image and gets labelled 'Sicknote', with the public viewing him as injury prone, despite the fact he makes over 500 appearances in a distinguished playing career, largely among the elite. Anderton appreciates how lucky he has been to cash in on doing something he loves and enjoys sharing his good fortune with family and close friends. But he goes through personal trauma as the condition of his beloved father, a shining light during his career and life, deteriorates through emphysema, while he and his positive-thinking fiancée Katie deal with her cystic fibrosis, a chronic, progressive disease. He keeps his own counsel through it all. But his retirement as a player and the death of his father three months apart - the tale which starts Takenote! - prompts him to open his heart and put the record straight. Anderton gives untold behind-the-scenes insights into his public and private life which touch every raw emotion. In this compelling book he reveals: the heaven-to-hell-and-back journey with England, including European Championships and World Cup, Tottenham Hotspur, Birmingham, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth. How it enables him to play in the biggest football tournament since England won the 1966 World Cup and to cross paths - and sometimes swords - with a few of the game's biggest names. The list includes Terry Venables, his biggest top-flight influence, Glenn Hoddle, Ossie Ardiles, Kevin Keegan, Sven Goran-Eriksson, David Beckham, Paul Gascoigne, Ronaldo, Alan Ball, Daniel Levy and Lord Alan Sugar. How he came to turn down Alex Ferguson's offer to join Mancheste ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Sinfield.
