Alien Contact: Nazi UFOs, Hörbuch, Digital, 66min
The Nazi party was obsessed with the occult. They scoured the globe in search of mysterious forces that would enable them to build their 1,000 year Reich. From the Holy Grail to the lance that pierced the side of Christ, from Tibet to the Antarctic, no region or mythological device was ignored. In fact, they turned the planet inside out looking for something ancient. Something the Nazi elite called "the most powerful weapon" - a weapon that would instill such awe, that it would cause the entire world to surrender overnight. Then suddenly during World War II, the Nazis achieved a massive leap in technology. From the first jet aircraft and V-2 rocket encompassing incredible advancements in science and engineering, the Nazis were miles ahead in every area, including genetic manipulation, mass hypnosis, and unfathomable experiments into the nature of time and space itself. But where did this quantum leap emanate from? The US captured Nazi Germany's top scientists, including rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who, with other former Nazis, provided information and technological advancements that would propel the US space program on a fast track to the moon. But where did the Nazis get this knowledge? Von Braun said more than once "we had help". This is real forbidden history; this is the story of the Nazis and the aliens from outer space.

Bikeman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
I live to talk about it, to relate the tale as it happens, not only its extremities and cruelty, but also the goodness that flourishes too.Seasoned journalist Tom Flynn shares his experiences on that "forever September morning" from his perspective as a journalist and neutral observer who stands apart from the event, but also as a participant, a survivor, and now a defining chronicler of the morning that changed our nation forever: September 11, 2001.It began with a bicycle ride to the World Trade Center to cover the first tower's attack and continued as the tower fell and Flynn found himself both bearing witness to, and participating in, the very event his well-trained journalistic senses intended to record and report.From those whose deaths revealed the most private moments of their lives, to those who helped guide the way to safety (like the medic Avi who called him Bikeman), Flynn writes of the fellowship he felt toward others who shared his experience.In Bikeman, you will experience the battle against the blackness of a "boiling brimstone avalanche" of chaos, silence, life, death, heat, ash, and the rising and falling of the gray-colored unknown."We did not live through it, we just did not die," Flynn writes. What sets his story apart from other 9/11 accounts is his visceral interpretation of the event through a journalist's eye and a poet's pen. He has composed a historical ballad that is part quest, part memoir, part eulogy, and part survivor's lament, conveying the events of that morning in harrowing, unforgettable detail. ungekürzt.

Gilead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 534min
Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2005 National Book Critics Circle Award, Fiction, 2005In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, an account of himself and his forebears. Ames is the son of an Iowan preacher and the grandson of a minister who, as a young man in Maine, saw a vision of Christ bound in chains and came west to Kansas to fight for abolition: He "preached men into the Civil War", then, at age 50, became a chaplain in the Union Army, losing his right eye in battle. Reverend Ames writes to his son about the tension between his father, an ardent pacifist, and his grandfather, whose pistol and bloody shirts, concealed in an army blanket, may be relics from the fight between the abolitionists and those settlers who wanted to vote Kansas into the union as a slave state. And he tells a story of the sacred bonds between fathers and sons, which are tested in his tender and strained relationship with his namesake, John Ames Boughton, his best friend's wayward son. This is also the tale of another remarkable vision, not a corporeal vision of God but the vision of life as a wondrously strange creation. It tells how wisdom was forged in Ames's soul during his solitary life, and how history lives through generations, pervasively present even when betrayed and forgotten. Gilead is the long-hoped-for second novel by one of our finest writers, a hymn of praise and lamentation to the God-haunted existence that Reverend Ames loves passionately, and from which he will soon part. ungekürzt.

Der unglückliche Mörder: Kommissar Van Veeteren 7, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
Es ist eine neblige, nasskalte Nacht. Der Regen gießt in Strömen, und der Junge, der am Straßenrand geht, ist kaum zu sehen. Als der Mann den Aufprall hört, ist es bereits zu spät: die Verletzungen des Jungen sind tödlich, und der schwer angetrunkene Fahrer gerät in Panik und macht sich aus dem Staub. Warum sollte er sein ganzes Leben zerstören wegen dieses Unglücksfalls? Sich von seiner Karriere verabschieden? Seine Zukunft aufs Spiel setzen, die auf einmal in leuchtenden Farben vor ihm steht. Gut, es plagen ihn durchaus Gewissensbisse, aber andererseits haben sich gerade in den letzten Tagen erfreuliche Dinge getan: Er ist frisch verliebt, seine Arbeit erfüllt ihn. Warum also sollte er sich stellen? Er kann nicht wissen, dass seine Feigheit schließlich drei weiteren Menschen den Tod bringen wird und seine Vertuschungsmanöver ihn letztlich gründlicher ruinieren werden, als seine Todesfahrt es je gekonnt hätte... Denn schon bald macht er einen entscheidenden Fehler: Diesmal tötet er gezielt - aus reiner Verzweiflung, wenn man so will. Offensichtlich ist er in der Tatnacht beobachtet worden, jedenfalls wird er mit anonymen Briefen bombardiert. Irgendjemand will Geld für sein Schweigen, und so bringt er einen Mann um, den er für den Erpresser hält. Die Polizei sieht zunächst keinen Zusammenhang zwischen der Fahrerflucht und diesem Mord, doch die Aufklärung genießt höchste Priorität: Der Tote ist nämlich Erich Van Veeteren, der "verlorene Sohn" des Kommissars, der wegen Drogendelikten im Gefängnis saß und gerade dabei war, im bürgerlichen Leben wieder Fuß zu fassen. Kommissar Van Veeteren macht sich schreckliche Vorwürfe, sich nicht genügend um ihn gekümmert zu haben. Und er schwört Rache... "Der unglückliche Mörder" ("Carambole", 1999) ist der siebte Roman aus Håkan Nessers Krimi-Reihe um Kommissar Van Veeteren. Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich. ungekürzt. deutsch. Max Moor. https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhde/000449/bk_rhde_000449_sample.mp3.- Shop: Audible

A Thread of Grace: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1192min
New York Times best seller • "A powerfully imagined novel...[a] profoundly moving book that engages the heights and depths of human experience." (Los Angeles Times)It is September 8, 1943, and 14-year-old Claudette Blum and her father are among the thousands of Jewish refugees scrambling over the Alps toward Italy, where they hope to find safety now that the Italians have broken from Germany and made a separate peace with the Allies. The Blums will soon discover that Italy is anything but peaceful, as it quickly becomes an open battleground for the Nazis, the Allies, Resistance fighters, Jews in hiding, and ordinary Italian civilians trying to survive.Tracing the lives of a handful of fascinating characters - a charismatic Italian Resistance leader, a priest, an Italian rabbi’s family, a disillusioned German doctor - Mary Doria Russell tells the little-known story of the vast underground effort by Italian citizens who saved the lives of 43,000 Jews during the final phase of World War II. A Thread of Grace puts a human face on history.Praise for A Thread of Grace"An addictive page-turner...[Mary Doria] Russell has an astonishing story to tell - full of action, paced like a rapid-fire thriller, in tense, vivid scenes that move with cinematic verve."

An Economic History of the World since 1400, Hörbuch, Digital, 1465min
Most of us have a limited understanding of the powerful role economics has played in shaping human civilization. This makes economic history - the study of how civilizations structured their environments to provide food, shelter, and material goods - a vital lens through which to think about how we arrived at our present, globalized moment. Designed to fill a long-empty gap in how we think about modern history, these 48 lectures are a comprehensive journey through more than 600 years of economic history, from the medieval world to the 21st century. Aimed at the layperson with only a cursory understanding of the field, An Economic History of the World since 1400 reveals how economics has influenced (and been influenced by) historical events and trends, including the Black Death, the Age of Exploration, the Industrial Revolution, the European colonization of Africa, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the birth of personal computing. Professor Harreld has crafted a riveting, centuries-long story of power, glory, and ideology that reveals how, in step with history, economic ideas emerged, evolved, and thrived or died. Along the way, you'll strengthen your understanding of a range of economic concepts, philosophies, trends, treaties, and organizations, including the mercantile system, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, Marxist economics, African independence movements, and the formation of economic organizations including the European Union. You'll also consider provocative questions about the intersection of history and economics. What did the economies of Roosevelt's America and Hitler's Germany have in common? What does history tell us about how nations should dictate economic policy? Can we say that free trade is truly free? Marvel at just how much we still have to learn about the economic forces that have dictated our past - and that will dictate our future.

Across the Australian Desert: Robert O'Hara Burke's Expedition Across Australia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
Robert O'Hara Burke (1821-1861) was one of the great Victorian explorers. In 1860 he was appointed to lead the Victorian Exploring Expedition, which aimed to cross the Australian continent from south to north. The expedition left Melbourne on Monday, 20 August 1860 with a total of 19 men, 27 (rum fuelled) camels, and 23 horses. The expedition was dogged by disputes and poor leadership decisions from the start. Even at the first staging post the second in command and the medical officer resigned. Burke left groups of men, horses and camels at staging posts along the way to provide a supply chain of provisions for the return journey. However the supply chain was poorly managed and provisions ran low.The small team of Burke, William Wills, John King, and Charley Gray set off on an impetuous dash for the northern coast and reached the mangroves on the estuary of the Flinders River, near where the town of Normanton now stands, on the 9th of February 1861. Weakened by starvation and exposure, progress on the return journey was slow and hampered by the tropical monsoon downpours. Gray died four days before they reached the staging point at Cooper's Creek. The other three rested for a day when they buried him. They finally reached the meeting point on 21 April 1861, 9 hours after the rest of the party had given up waiting and left, leaving a note and some food, as they had not been relieved by the party supposed to be arriving from base camp. The final three made a valiant attempt to find their way back from the desert, and despite much help given to them by local Aborigines, by the time a search party arrived, there was only one survivor left of the original party. ungekürzt.
