The Communist Manifesto
Published in 1848, at a time of political upheaval in Europe, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels s Manifesto for the Communist Party was at once a powerful critique of capitalism and a radical call to arms. It remains the most incisive introduction to the ideas of Communism and the most lucid explanation of its aims. Much of what it proposed continues to be at the heart of political debate into the 21st century. It is no surprise, perhaps, that The Communist Manifesto (as it was later renamed) is the second bestselling book of all time, surpassed only by the Bible.The Guardian s editorial cartoonist Martin Rowson employs his trademark draftsmanship and wit to this lively graphic novel adaptation. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Marx s birth, The Communist Manifesto is both a timely reminder of the politics of hope and a thought-provoking guide to the most influential work of political theory ever published.- Shop: buecher

Brave Men Dark Waters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 607min
The legend was forged in the fires of World War II, when special units of elite navy frogmen were entrusted with dangerous covert missions.

Years later, the renamed US Navy SEALs (for Sea, Air, and Land) continued to be a wartime force to be reckoned with throughout the remainder of the 20th century and into the 21st. They served as rangers and scouts in the jungles of Vietnam, answered the call to duty in Panama, Granada, and in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, while developing into the very best of the best, the cream of America's Special Forces crop. ungekürzt.

The Nazi Murder Squad: The Confession of Helmut Grund, Waffen-SS Cavalry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
The confession of Helmut Grund explores one of the second World War's most notorious men. Grund had trained his men well, and his new methods had held Deutschland's casualties down to 15 dead and 35 wounded, compared to much higher losses in the other units of the V-Truppe operating in Poland. In the eyes of Hitler and high-ranking members of the SS, the V-Truppe had proven itself in the field. Despite army resistance, an SS police division was formed in late September. On October 10, SS Gruppenführer (Lt. Gen.) Hausser began forming the motorized Verfügungstruppe Division (V Division), which would later be renamed Das Reich. Three regiments - Germania, Der Führer, and Grunds Deutschland - made up the division. This is his story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Goldsmith.

Palace of Flies (eBook, ePUB)
"One of those rare biographical novels that bring a whole world to life in a way that lingers in memory."-Jay Parini, author of Borges and MeThis absorbing, sensitive novel portrays a famed author in a moment of crisis: an aging Hugo von Hofmannsthal returns to a summer resort outside of Salzburg that he visited as a child. But in the spa town where he once thrilled to the joys of youth, he now feels unproductive and uninspired, adrift in the modern world born after World War One. Over ten days in 1924 in a ramshackle inn that has been renamed the Grand Hotel, Hofmannsthal fruitlessly attempts to complete a play he's long been wrestling with. The writer is plagued by feelings of loneliness and failure that echo in a buzz of inner monologues, imaginary conversations and nostalgic memories of relationships with glittering cultural figures. Palace of Flies conjures up an individual state of distress and disruption at a time of fundamental societal transformation that speaks eloquently to our own age.- Shop: buecher

Led Zeppelin: A Rockview Audiobiography, Hörbuch, Digital, 31min
The ultimate Kings of Heavy are Led Zeppelin, and no one can deny the powerful influence they have had on rock bands throughout the world since the early 1970s.

This is not a music release by the record company or band, but an exclusive quality audiobiog, which gives a wonderful insight into the lives of a fabulous group of musicians.
