    Disappearing Ink: The Insider, the FBI, and the Looting of the Kenyon College Library , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
    Like many aspiring writers, David Breithaupt had money problems. But what he also had was unsupervised access to one of the finest special collections libraries in the country. In October 1990, Kenyon College hired David Breithaupt as its library's part-time evening supervisor. In April 2000 he was fired after a Georgia librarian discovered him selling a letter by Flannery O'Connor on eBay, but that was only the tip of the iceberg: for the past 10 years, Breithaupt had been browsing the collection, taking from it whatever rare books, manuscripts, and documents caught his eye - Flannery O'Connor letters, W.H. Auden annotated typescripts, a Thomas Pynchon manuscript, and much, much more. It was a large-scale, long-term pillaging of Kenyon College's most precious works. After he was caught, the American justice system looked like it was about to disappoint the college the way it had countless rare book crime victims before - but Kenyon refused to let this happen. ungekürzt.

    How do you end an alien occupation? Anyway you can. On her 16th birthday, the terminally ill head of the world's largest mega-corporation, puts her plan to rid Earth of its alien overlords and to avenge her father's death into motion. She releases an untested nano-engineered terror weapon against the aliens. While the aliens are chased from the planet, humanity's celebration is short lived. Now facing alien retaliation from orbit and a rapidly evolving nano-weapon that will transform Earth, humanity's last hope of survival resides with a pair of cybernetically-enhanced human collaborators who are more interested in looting than saving the world. Anyway you look at it, humanity is doomed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Boice. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/007849/bk_acx0_007849_sample.mp3.

But, when he passed away and Simon received his father's old papers, a story began to emerge. The Gutmanns, as they were known then, rose from a small Bohemian hamlet to become one of Germany's most powerful banking families. They also amassed a magnificent, world-class art collection that included works by Degas, Renoir, Botticelli, Guardi, and many, many others. But the Nazi regime snatched from them everything they had worked to build: their remarkable art, their immense wealth, their prominent social standing, and their very lives.
