    Der Herr der Ringe: Die Rückkehr des Königs (BLU-RAY)
    Saurons Mächte haben Minas Tirith, die Hauptstadt von Gondor, belagert, um die Rasse der Menschen auszurotten. Das einst so mächtige Königreich, das von einem schwachen Verwalter bewacht wird, brauchte noch nie so dringend seinen König. Aber ist Aragorn stark genug, sein Erbe anzutreten und das zu werden, zu dem er geboren wurde? Das Schicksal von Mittelerde liegt in seinen Händen... Als die letzte Schlacht naht und sich die Mächte der Finsternis versammeln, versucht Gandalf mit aller Kraft die zerschlagene Armee von Gondor zusammenzutrommeln. Er wird von König Théoden von Rohan unterstützt, der seine Krieger für die größte Schlacht in der Geschichte zusammenführt. Selbst mit ihrem Mut und ihrer herzlichen Loyalität sind die Truppen der Menschen - zusammen mit Eowyn und Merry - den Feinden, die Richtung Gondor ausschwärmen, nicht gewachsen.. Trotzdem sie wissen, dass sie große Verluste erleiden werden, stürmen sie voran in die Schlacht ihres Lebens. Sie sind verbunden im gemeinsamen Ziel, Sauron abzulenken und dem Ringträgers die Chance zu geben, seine Suche zu vollenden. Ihre Hoffnung liegt bei Frodo, ein kleiner, zu allem entschlossener Hobbit, der eine gefährliche Reise durch unsicheres Land des Feindes macht, um den Einen Ring in den Feuern des Schicksalsbergs zu zerstören. Je näher Frodo seinem Ziel kommt, desto schwerer wird seine Last und desto mehr muss er sich auf Sam Gamdschie verlassen. Gollum wird Frodos Ergebenheit und nicht zuletzt seine Menschlichkeit einem Test unterziehen...Darsteller:Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Ali Astin, Cate Blanchett, David Aston, Joel Tobeck, Noel Appleby, Paul Norell, Sean Astin, Shane Rangi

    The Prelude: Complete Series (BBC Radio 4: Classic Serial), Hörbuch, Digital, 113min
    William Wordsworth's autobiographical poem The Prelude is arguably the most important piece of poetic writing in our language. Recorded in Wordsworth's home in Grasmere, Cumbria, Wordsworth looks back over events in his early life. Wordsworth believed that poetry should be written in the natural language of common speech, and in that way it was revolutionary in its time. Parts of the poem are famous, with lines quoted often such as the description of the young Wordsworth stealing a boat. Other parts are more introspective. The young poet leaves Grasmere to go to University in Cambridge, and is homesick. Wordsworth grapples with his political feelings - travelling to France at the time of the French revolution. He enjoys the hustle and bustle of London, and is euphoric when crossing the Alps. All the time this poem is accessible, bursting with colour and description, full of gripping storytelling. The Prelude is read by Sir Ian McKellen, with specially composed music by John Harle, performed by John Harle on saxophone and Neill MacColl on guitar. The Prelude was directed in Manchester by Susan Roberts. Language: English. Narrator: Ian McKellen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/bbcw/005263/rt_bbcw_005263_sample.mp3.
