The version of The Raven was translated by Juan Antonio Pérez Bonalde in 1887, and while beautiful, language learners may find it more difficult. Bonalde took poetic license to make the rhyme and meter align with the English. Hence, with this work, Bonalde’s Spanish translation of the English carries the overall meaning and spirit of the passage, but it doesn’t track the English as closely as it does in our other dual-language offerings.If you are learning English, we recommend you use the version of the story that leads with your native language, so you hear each sentence in your native language, ungekürzt.

True Believers: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1121min
In True Believers, Kurt Andersen—the New York Times best-selling and critically acclaimed author of Heyday and Turn of the Century—delivers his most powerful and moving novel yet. Dazzling in its wit and effervescent insight, this kaleidoscopic tour de force of cultural observation and seductive storytelling alternates between the present and the 1960s—and indelibly captures the enduring impact of that time on the ways we live now. Karen Hollander is a celebrated attorney who recently removed herself from consideration for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her reasons have their roots in 1968—an episode she’s managed to keep secret for more than forty years. Now, with the imminent publication of her memoir, she’s about to let the world in on that shocking secret—as soon as she can track down the answers to a few crucial last questions. As junior-high-school kids back in the early sixties, Karen and her two best friends, Chuck and Alex, roamed suburban Chicago on their bikes looking for intrigue and excitement. Inspired by the exotic romance of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, they acted out elaborate spy missions pitting themselves against imaginary Cold War villains. As friendship carries them through childhood and on to college—in a polarized late-sixties America riven by war and race as well as sex, drugs, and rock and roll—the bad guys cease to be the creatures of make-believe. Caught up in the fervor of that extraordinary and uncanny time, they find themselves swept into a dangerous new game with the highest possible stakes. Today, only a handful of people are left who know what happened. As Karen reconstructs the past and reconciles the girl she was then with the woman she is now, finally sharing pieces of her secret past with her national-security-cowboy boyfriend and Occupy-activist granddaughter, the power of memory and history and luck become clear. A resonant coming-of-age story and a thrilling poli ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Hart. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/003137/bk_rand_003137_sample.mp3.

My Year Abroad
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERA New York Times Notable Book * Named a Best Book of the Year by Vogue, TIME, and Marie ClaireA manifesto to happiness the one found when you stop running from who you are. New York Times Book Review An extraordinary book, acrobatic on the level of the sentence, symphonic across its many movements and this is a book that moves My Year Abroad is a wild ride a caper, a romance, a bildungsroman, and something of a satire of how to get filthy rich in rising Asia. VogueFrom the award-winning author of Native Speaker and On Such a Full Sea, an exuberant, provocative story about a young American life transformed by an unusual Asian adventure and about the human capacities for pleasure, pain, and connection. Tiller is an average American college student with a good heart but minimal aspirations. Pong Lou is a larger-than-life, wildly creative Chinese American entrepreneur who sees something intriguing in Tiller beyond his bored exterior and takes him under his wing. When Pong brings him along on a boisterous trip across Asia, Tiller is catapulted from ordinary young man to talented protégé, and pulled into a series of ever more extreme and eye-opening experiences that transform his view of the world, of Pong, and of himself. In the breathtaking, precise, elliptical prose that Chang-rae Lee is known for (The New York Times), the narrative alternates between Tiller s outlandish, mind-boggling year with Pong and the strange, riveting, emotionally complex domestic life that follows it, as Tiller processes what happened to him abroad and what it means for his future. Rich with commentary on Western attitudes, Eastern stereotypes, capitalism, global trade, mental health, parenthood, mentorship, and more, My Year Abroad is also an exploration of the surprising effects of cultural immersion on a young American in Asia, on a Chinese man in America, and on an unlikely couple hiding out in the suburbs. Tinged at once with humor and darkness, electric with its accumulating surprises and suspense, My Year Abroad is a novel that only Chang-rae Lee could have written, and one that will be read and discussed for years to come.- Shop: buecher

Martha's Dragon
CANTIGA has delighted visitors to Renaissance Festivals across North America with their magical music for almost 30 years. The word CANTIGA means 'song' in the language of Alfonso X, the 13th century Spanish king whose royal court was a haven for Christian, Muslim, and Jewish musicians. We are dedicated to the spirit of musical improvisation which has flourished in such cultural crossroads throughout history and continues to be celebrated in today's Global Village. 'I must say you've outdone yourselves with 'Martha's Dragon.' Every CD by Cantiga and the NWRB has simply captivated me! And the delight grows with each listening.' Walt Haake WDVR FM, Sergeantsville, NJ 'Their music is fresh enough to listen to in any setting, yet it gives that warm, old world feeling of times gone by...of loves lost and gained...of celebrations...of the taming of dragons! Martha's Dragon is history and freshness all wrapped into one beautiful musical package! Bravo!-' Overall Rating - 10 out of 10 Jen Lush, Midwestbands.com, 7/31/05 ............... Notes for the tunes on 'Martha's Dragon': 1. CANTIGA 108 This cantiga, a 13th century song from Alfonso X's 'Cantiga's de Santa Maria' tells a bizarre story involving Merlin the Magician, a Jewish wise man and Santa Maria. 2. MARTHA'S DRAGON St. Martha is known for taming, not for slaying her dragon. This tune was written by Bob Bielefeld in the early 1990's. 3. ANDALUZ A medieval Andalusian melody brought to light by Julián Ribera y Tarragó (1858-1934). 4. SKILLYWIDDEN Part of our legacy from Cantiga fiddler Malcolm Smith (1951-1996), this tune began life as a playful response to too many choruses of 'It's a Long, Long Way from Clare to Here', and morphed into our favorite jam tune. 5. VALLE DE LO ALTO We first heard this melody performed by the Andean band Pachacamac and were delighted to discover that it was written by Conrado 'Charry' Garcia, our newest member. Charry wrote this tune in Chile in the 1980's. Valle de lo Alto means 'High Valley'. 6. WHITE PETTICOAT A LA TURK Mark became fixated on odd time signatures after borrowing Bob's book of Bulgarian tunes, and an innocent Irish jig in 6/8 slipped into 7! 7. BOUREES These two bourées were published by German composer Michael Praetorius in his collection of French court and country dance music 'Terpsichore' (1612). 8. SPAGNOLETTA A well-known ancient air also published in 'Terpsichore'. We dedicate this dance to the Court Dancers of Scarborough Faire. 9. BRANLE DE BOURGOGNE This 16th century French dance tune by Adrian Le Roy alternates four and six-measure phrases. Mark discovered it on a recording of Early Music from the '70s. 10. ERES AGUEDA GLORIOSA We learned this Spanish Renaissance melody for Jeff Baldwin of the Texas Renaissance Festival, who chose it for his production 'Masque of the Conquistadors'. This song is a serenade of love to the beautiful Agueda, who appears to her suitor as radiant as an angel in the midst of her nine sisters. 11. FISCHIETTANDO A tarantella, popular with whistling Sicilianos. The fischietto is the Italian version of the penny-whistle. Fischiettando means 'whistling'. 12. ARGEERS This perky little tune is from John Playford's 'The English Dancing Master', in print from 1651 to 1728. ............... The Members of Cantiga are: Martha Gay, Harp Mark Caudill, Violin Bob Bielefeld, Wood Flute, Fife Conrado Garcia, Charango, Percussion (Birimbao, Caxixi, Semilla, Triangle), Toyos (bass pan-pipes) Max Dyer, Cello Also featured on this album, special guest artist Jamal Mohamed, Percussion: Doumbeks (Middle Eastern Goblet drums), Djembe (West African Goblet drum) Riq (Egyptian tambourine), Mazhar (Egyptian Frame drum). ............... Original Cover painting for Martha's Dragon by illustrator Richard Hull. ............... A Review from Ted Young, New York: 'For those not familiar with their work, Cantiga brings together music from all over medieval and renaissance Europe. Cantiga¹s fourth CD continues to preserve their enchanting sound while bringing us new and exciting songs. Conrado Garcia, Cantiga¹s newest member, and guest star, Jamal Mohamed, add a new dimension to the group with their subtle additions of charango, toyos, doumbek, and more. As with their past works, 'Martha¹s Dragon' is full of lively, upbeat music from long ago played with amazing skill. The title track comes to life with a vibrant bass and rhythm. Conrado¹s beautiful Andean composition, Valle de lo Alto, is combined with Cantiga¹s style creating an inspirational fusion. And White Petticoat a là Turk is a traditional Irish jig performed in 7/8 giving it a Turkish flare and providing another example of Cantiga¹s remarkable creativity. I would highly suggest treating yourself to these twelve lovely songs,especially if this is your first Cantiga CD. And if you don¹t own a CD player, it is worth buying it just for the stunning cover art.' Reviewer: Ted Young, who enjoys Cantiga performances each summer at the Sterling Renaissance Faire in Oswego New York.- Shop: odax

Franck & Mendelssohn : String Quartets
Mendelssohn and Franck wrote these quartets each in the last year of their lives, but under very different circumstances. Mendelssohn's Op.80 was written after hearing of the death of his beloved sister Fanny. The music of "classical poise and refined romantic feeling" with which he had become associated is swept aside as Mendelssohn pens one of the most impassioned and powerful statements of his output. The first movement, with it's dramatic sforzandos and fast-repeated notes, alternates between passionate frenzy and a sense of lamentation. The dramatic coda with a soaring virtuosic run in the first violin leaves the audience gasping for breath. The second movement is far removed from the light and airy Scherzo of Mendelssohn's famous Octet. Intense and sardonic, there is no let-up in mood. The trio section introduces a melancholy, waltz-like theme in the viola and cello which only seems to add to the sense of anguish. The elegiac Adagio allows a respite from the dark key of F minor, but despite the major key, the movement is a heart-breaking lament. The last movement, with it's rapid dovetailing of the instruments offers little in the way of solace or acceptance and ends with a wild dance played high up in the first violin. Mendelssohn subtitled the work 'Requiem for Fanny' but it would also serve as his own since he died two months later of a stroke. Franck, perhaps inspired by an infatuation with one of his former composition students, Augusta Holmes, was enjoying the most fruitful period of his career, composing a series of masterworks in a remarkable five year period. After the successful premiere of his string quartet in 1890, Franck declared "The public is at last beginning to understand me." A tour de force, showcasing Franck's uniquely rich harmonic language and innovative use of the cyclic form, the thick textures and liberal use of double-stopping almost create the impression of a chamber orchestra, rather than a single string quartet. The first movement contains a wealth of thematic complexity and melodic expression with a broad and impassioned opening Poco lento introducing the main cyclic theme. The agile second movement sees all four instruments in a state of flight, interrupted by abrupt silences. The strings are muted throughout, apart from a molto cantabile declaration of the cyclic theme on the cello. The movement seems to nod towards Mendelssohn, (Franck apparently had the scores of his quartets, alongside those by Brahms and Beethoven on his piano while composing this work). The unapologetically languorous third movement is full of wonderful colours and impassioned climaxes whilst the vigorous Finale revisits all the major themes, providing a contrapuntal feast that unites the work.- Shop: odax
