Sinai Tapestry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
Sinai Tapestry, the brilliant first novel of the Jerusalem Quartet, is an epic alternate history of the Middle East in which the discovery of the original Bible links a disparate group of remarkable people across time and space. In 1840, Plantagenet Strongbow, the twenty-ninth Duke of Dorset, seven-feet-seven-inches tall and the greatest swordsman and botanist of Victorian England, walks away from the family estate and disappears into the Sinai Desert carrying only a large magnifying glass and a portable sundial. He emerges forty years later as an Arab holy man and anthropologist, now the author of a massive study of Levantine sex—and the secret owner of the Ottoman Empire. Meanwhile, Skanderbeg Wallenstein has discovered the original Bible, lost on a dusty bookshelf in the monastery library. To his amazement, it defies every truth held by the three major religions. Nearly a century later, Haj Harun, an antiquities dealer who has acted as guardian of the Holy City for three thousand years, uncovers the hidden Bible. Sinai Tapestry is the first volume of the Jerusalem Quartet, which continues with Jerusalem Poker, Nile Shadows, and Jericho Mosaic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Troxell.

Waiting for Agnes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
A semi-biographical story of Ed Leedskalnin, the magnetism researcher and single-handed sculptor of the mysterious "Coral Castle" in Florida. Ed claimed that he knew "the secret of the Great Pyramid".People are amazed how Coral Castle, made from 1,100 tons of massive, jagged coral stone, could be constructed by one lone man, using only crude hand tools. The average weight of the stones used in the construction of Coral Castle are greater than those used in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Additionally, several of the stones used are taller than those found at Stonehenge in England.Even more amazing is that many of the huge stones are sculpted into the form of rocking chairs and doors, balanced to such a precise degree, that even a small child can pivot them. Leedskalnin was interested in observational astronomy and built, entirely from coral, a telescope and a self-correcting sundial. He was also an innovator and magnetism researcher. His magnetism experiments resulted in the invention of an incredibly simple, yet extremely efficient, magnetic current generator, that was able to provide all of his energy needs for free.Listen to the enhanced, bizarre story of this most unusual man and his fantastic creations. ungekürzt.

Highgrove
HIGHGROVE: A GARDEN CELEBRATED is a commemoration of the beautiful, mature gardens planned and planted by The Prince of Wales over thirty years ago. The gardens at Highgrove evoke intense emotion. In January, the dramatic light and early snowdrops of the Stumpery are exquisite; the glistening emerald lawns and tree blossoms in Spring lift the spirits with a promise of what is to come; in Summer, the longed-for delphiniums in the Sundial Garden stand proudly to attention and dramatic leaf colours welcome Autumn to the Arboretum as the harvesting in the Kitchen Garden begins. In Winter the structural elements of the garden have their moment of glory as the year comes to a close and the cycle of the seasons continues.Lavishly illustrated with photographs that capture both the light and detail of this magisterial space, this beautiful book will delight and inspire gardeners of every level. It is an exquisite celebration of garden design, passion and inspiration.- Shop: buecher

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Part 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
Five Orange Pips: Mr. John Openshaw approaches Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, with a very peculiar case. He fills Holmes and Watson in on the details of how his uncle and father received strange letters that said, "K.K.K." and that included an instruction to put the papers on the sundial outside and five orange pips. Both of them died in mysterious circumstances. And now John Openshaw has received the same letter. "The Noble Bachelor": A few weeks before Watson's marriage, Holmes receives an envelope with a nobleman's seal on it. It belongs to Lord St. Simon, whose wife has disappeared. A woman named Flora Miller, has been arrested for murder, as she reportedly tried to interrupt the wedding. Sherlock Holmes, however, already has the mystery solved. "The Engineers Thumb": A hydraulics engineer, Victor Hatherley, has lost his thumb. He is brought to Dr. Watson, by one of the guards who know the doctor. After treating him, Watson takes him to Holmes, to solve the mystery of the missing thumb as it does not appear to be a engineering accident. "The Blue Carbuncle": Peterson, a hotel employee both Holmes and Watson know, brings them a hat and a goose, that he found when he was trying to save an elderly man being harassed by a group of guys. The goose is labeled “To Mrs. Henry Baker”. Holmes keeps the hat, and lets Peterson have the goose. Some time later, Peterson comes back running to Sherlock Holmes, as he has found a blue diamond in the throat of the goose, which Holmes immediately recognizes as The Blue Carbuncle that was stolen a few days back from Hotel Cosmopolitan. ungekürzt.

Heaven Has No Ground
Hana Andronikova's second, and unfortunately last novel, was published nine years after the success of her first book The Sound of the Sundial. Andronikova herself admitted that in Heaven Has No Ground, the character of Ama, a self-proclaimed "bio-gal" and "alter-nativist" is somewhat autobiographical as she tries come to terms with the death of her father and with her own cruel diagnosis of breast cancer. Through this intimate story Ama records her battle with the terrible disease. But it is not one that takes place in a hospital bed, but rather on journey with a backpack that leads to the shamans of the Amazon jungle in Peru, to the native Americans of the Nevada Desert, and then finally to the Middle East. Andronikova doesn't shy way from expressing that feeling of raw anxiety upon her return home when she ultimately faces the decision to accept modern medical treatment or not. But the book is much more than a young woman's battle with cancer, it is a witty and colorful narrative of searching for oneself and accepting one's fate. Andronikova does this with a unique style filled with raspy metaphors, a melody of language, and with an a associative string of playful words that borders surrealism.- Shop: buecher
