Dani Futuro 2

Wieder zum Leben erweckt!Im Jahr 1969 verunglückt der junge Daniel Blancor auf dem Weg zu einer Polarstation bei einem Flugzeugabsturz. Gefangen im ewigen Eis, überdauert er die nächsten 135 Jahre im Zustand der Anabiose. Als er im Jahr 2104 aus seinem Tiefschlaf erwacht, findet er sich im Haus des Biologen Basil Dosian inmitten einer tropischen Landschaft wieder. An der Seite der Nichte des Wissenschaftlers, der ebenso attraktiven wie mutigen Iris, erforscht der nun als Dani Futuro bekannte "Junge, der fast eineinhalb Jahrhunderte alt ist" die ihm unbekannte Zukunft.An Bord des Raumschiffs Galaktos bereisen die beiden Abenteurer fremdartige Welten wie die Erdkolonie Nova Venetia oder den Asteroiden NGS 83763, auf dem ein Ungeheuer die friedliebenden Bewohner in Angst und Schrecken versetzt. Für Dani und Iris soll es nicht das letzte Mal sein, dass sie sich für die Schwachen und Unterdrückten einsetzen müssen, denn im hochentwickelten "Paradies von Morgen" lauern noch immer Gefahren.Die Veröffentlichung von Dani Futuro gehört definitiv in die Kategorie "Gehobene Schätze". In enger Abstimmung mit dem Zeichner Carlos Giménez entsteht nun eine auf acht Bände angelegte Gesamtausgabe dieser im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes fantastischen Science-Fiction-Saga, die auch 50 Jahre nach ihrem Debüt nichts von ihrem jugendlichen Charme eingebüßt hat.

Conspiracy of Secrets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min

Tracing family histories is a popular pursuit and everyone loves the idea of discovering where they really come from. But when Bobbie Neate began to investigate her own family's past, she made some shocking discoveries which would cause shockwaves within her own family as well as on a much wider, national scale. The result of Bobbie's quest is an enthralling journey not only into her own past but also into the history of this country and its leaders. It was after the death of her beloved mother that Bobbie started to question strange events from her childhood. From hazy recollections grew firm lines of enquiry and eventually she was able to match her memories with actual historical data. Her discoveries were mindblowing. Her stepfather and indeed the man she had referred to as 'father' for most of her life had kept a huge secret and had lied about who he really was. In this intriguing biographical detective story, the author reveals that Louis T Stanley, well known in Formula One racing circles, had hidden his true backgroud from his wife and from the public. He was not the man he pretended to be, but was the illegitimate son of an elderly serving Prime Minister, HH Asquith and the young Venetia Stanley, an aristocrat's daughter. One hundred years after these events took place, the truth behind one of the biggest coverups in British political history can be revealed. As well as serving as an important historical document which will challenge commonlyheld opinions of modern British history. Conspiracy of Secrets is, equally, a revealing personal memoir which uncovers what kind of a man Louis T Stanley really was. His stifling influence over the author and her family is explored, as are the extraordinary lengths he went to in order to cover up his past and his true identity. This wonderfully researched book is a gripping story of forbidden love, betrayal and identity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynsey Frost.

The River Within (eBook, ePUB)

"Powell has not written a pale imitation of The Crown or Downton Abbey . . . it's a fresh look at the pressures our caste systems place upon all of us." -Los Angeles Times It is the summer of 1955. The body of Danny Masters is found by three of his friends in the river that runs through Starome, a village on the Richmond estate in North Yorkshire. Alexander, one of the three friends that found Danny and the sole heir to Richmond Hall, has always been unpredictable but lately he has grown elusive, his behavior becoming increasingly erratic. His mother, Lady Venetia Richmond, is newly widowed and too busy trying to keep the sprawling family estate together to worry about Alexander, though she could use his help. A second friend, Lennie Fairweather, "child of nature" and daughter of the late Sir Angus Richmond's private secretary, has other things on her mind too. In love with Alexander, she longs to escape life with her over-protective father and domineering brother, Tom, who was also there when Danny's body was discovered. In the weeks that follow the tragic drowning, the river begins to give up its secrets. As the circumstances surrounding Danny's death emerge, other stories surface that threaten to disrupt everybody's plans and to destroy an entire way of life. "[Powell's] novel about love, class, and secrecy in 1950s England reads as if it were written in the era the characters inhabit, her style and tone reminiscent of an earlier generation of reticent yet emotionally brutal writers like Shirley Hazzard and Graham Greene. A mesmerizing escape." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Evocative and engrossing." -Heat Magazine

Consumed

***'This powerful, speaking-truth-to-power book is an essential read for everybody who wants to stop feeling clueless and helpless about the impacts of cosumerism, and start doing their part to help create a more sustainable world' - Layla Saad 'A critique on what we buy, how it's made and the systems behind it that make an unfair and broken cycle' - New York Times 'The book is a blueprint for anyone who wants to do better' - VOGUE 'SUCH integrity. Aja is no bullsh*t.' - Florence Given 'Consumed takes us through the hideously complex topic of fashion and sustainability, from its knotty colonial roots to what everyday people can do to uproot those systems, today.' - Yassmin Abdel-Magied Aja Barber wants change. In the 'learning' first half of the book, she will expose you to the endemic injustices in our consumer industries and the uncomfortable history of the textile industry; one which brokered slavery, racism and today's wealth inequality. And how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion industry and its lack of diversity and equality. She will also reveal how we spend our money and whose pockets it goes into and whose it doesn't (clue: the people who do the actual work) and will tell her story of how she came to learn the truth.In the second 'unlearning' half of the book, she will help you to understand the uncomfortable truth behind why you consume the way you do. She asks you to confront the sense of lack you have, the feeling that you are never quite enough and the reasons why you fill the aching void with consumption rather than compassion. And she makes you challenge this power disparity, and take back ownership of it. The less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you have.CONSUMED will teach you how to be a citizen not a consumer.'an absolute must-read' - Red Magazine 'An absolute must-read for any person who wears clothes.' - Orsola de Castro 'A hugely compelling exploration of a culture of exploitation and how, together, we can end it.' - Gina Martin 'Barber's isn't just a voice we should listen to - it is a voice we MUST listen to.' - Clementine Ford 'If you buy one book about sustainable fashion, make it this one. Consumed is an urgent call to action to demand a fashion system that is actually fair for both people and planet, not just Big Fashion billionaires. I adore Aja and I love this brilliant book.' - Venetia La Manna
