    World War II: 1944: One Hour WW II History Books, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
    In this one-hour history audiobook, discover why 1944 was the year of no return. A year of triumph for the Allies and of despair for the Axis forces, as we uncover the main events of that year during World War II, the most lethal war of all times.As rapid as the Axis advance had been, it was rolled back just as rapidly in 1944.The Nazis were losing everything they had gained in Eastern Europe, and after the Allies landed in Normandy, France, pulling off the impossible, with the largest invasion force in history, they were on the verge of losing everything in Western Europe as well. The loss of Italy, meanwhile, had become almost a foregone conclusion when Rome fell in the spring of 1944, and by late summer the fighting had reached all the way up the peninsula to Pisa.The Japanese situation was a little bit more complicated, with both gains and losses, but the overall trajectory was the same. The Axis as a whole was on a backward blitz that put the fascists on the receiving end of the same kind of overwhelming offensives that they had unleashed upon an unsuspecting world just a few years before.The Axis powers that had previously shaken the world with their fascist aggression were now thoroughly shaken themselves. By 1944 their reign of terror was almost over, but they would still fight on, clinging to the fantastic hope that they would somehow pull victory from the jaws of defeat. Thankfully, the fevered dreams of these madmen and megalomaniacs would not prevail.In this short audiobook, you will know everything you need to know about what happened in 1944 during World War II. ungekürzt.

    Spider #17 February 1935: The Spider , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min
    In 100,000 homes, families sat down together at the supper table. A few hours later, those persons were dead - killed by poison in canned foods! Thousands of women used cosmetics, and acid made their faces forever hideously scarred. A master criminal, daring and clever, was ruthlessly slaughtering Americans to win immense illicit profits for himself. Only one man was powerful enough and wise enough to stop this wholesale murder - Richard Wentworth, champion of oppressed humanity, better known as the Spider. And the Spider was engaged in the bitterest battle of his career, fighting the Avenger, a false, wily crusader who was determined to destroy him! Norvell W. Page, writing under the pseudonym of Grant Stockbridge, remade the Spider into his own psychic twin, often dressing up as the master of men when delivering his monthly manuscripts. In a letter to a Spider fan, Page wrote, "Think of me as Wentworth, if you will. The line between us is not too distinct." Page took Spider readers on a roller-coaster ride of wild action and fevered emotion unlike anything ever published before or since. Once he got going, Page painted a portrait of a tortured superhero, one much more emblematic of the 21st century than of the Great Depression. Richard Wentworth saw himself as a man on a holy mission, a self-appointed messiah with a martyr complex - a Christ covered in cobwebs. He was the champion of oppressed humanity, its shield and protector against the murderous outbreaks of the underworld; wherever crime struck terribly, he hastened, taking up the challenge. The police had offered rewards totaling thousands of dollars for his capture "dead or alive." And the underworld hated him and plotted his destruction with a fierceness bred of abject terror. Nick Santa Maria breathes life into the Spider in "The Pain Emperor". Originally published in The Spider magazine, February 1935. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Santa Maria.

    Cat and Mouse on the Niger: The History of the Competition Between the British and French for Control of the Niger River , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 117min
    They have soldiers. We only have arguments. (French Foreign Minister Théophile Delcassé)Near the end of the 19th century, Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event, known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa.The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was that no recognition of annexation would be granted without evidence of a practical occupation and the second, that a practical occupation would be deemed unlawful without a formal appeal for protection made on behalf of a territory by its leader - a plea that must be committed to paper in the form of a legal treaty.This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets, and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European African colonies.The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, intimidate an already broken society, and play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so childishly simple, the matter was wrapped up, for the most part, in less than a decade.Even at that stage, however, the countries would keep jostling for position in Africa against each other, attempting to snap up more land and consolidate it. As such, the scramble kept going at a fevered pitch until the outbreak of World War I.When they entered the negotiations in Berlin in 1884, the French we ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Enchanter: Spellmonger, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1467min
    Minalan the moody!Meanwhile, back at the castle...Minalan the spellmonger faces the boredom of house arrest after being confined to his lands by Prince Tavard for his defiance with the Wilderlands refugees. The Alka Alon have returned to their seclusion, dealing with their own crisis, the dead god is being quiet within the Umbra, and Min’s plans toward reestablishing a functional Duchy of Alshar are progressing. Min sees his punishment as a unique opportunity to indulge in thaumaturgical research. When the Sevendor Magic Fair brings a tide of enchanters eager for snowstone, irionite, and opportunity to his door (as well as the newly formed Arcane Knights of Nablus, the successors of the Censorate in Merwyn), Minalan uses his wealth and position to invite them to stay on in Sevendor over the winter and focus on the developing art of enchantment.He forms the first Bouleuterion, a conclave of enchanters dedicated to producing and researching the creation of magical items, since the fall of the Magocracy. Such notable enchanters as Lanse of Bune, Taren, and Masters Andalnam and Cormoran arrive to help Minalan and his staff of experts push the frontiers of magical science as far as he can. Even Lorcus, Tyndal, and Rondal help out. His secret mission is, of course, to fathom the complexities of the secret Snowflake of Sevendor, the enigmatic pseudo-molopor created from Minalan’s fevered subconscious...but not before they improve the lot of the peasantry by creating a wealth of labor-saving (and potentially socially revolutionary) devices.But enchanters and former Censors are not the only ones to arrive at the fair: Baron and Baroness Greenflower, Magelords Dunselen and Isily, come to Sevendor as well...and the results are explosive. Before they depart Minalan’s entire life is thrown into doubt. Especially when a new divinity appears to make him an offer the spellmonger just can’t refuse.As Minalan works through his psychological issue ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.

    The Spider: Spider #44 May 1937 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
    Deep-hidden in evil, Satan's Suicide Club sat in council - and men died. What dreadful force drove these men, leaders of society with everything to live for, to end their lives at the behest of that sinister being who sardonically called himself Professor Mephisto? And why did men and women suffer the tortures of the damned, rather than defy this mysterious being? Richard Wentworth once more assumes the cloak of the Spider to free these lost ones from a living hell and a disgraceful death - and steps into the jaws of a devil's trap that casts his life among the lives in pawn! In a letter to a Spider fan, Author Norvell W. Page once wrote, "Think of me as Wentworth, if you will. The line between us is not too distinct." A transplanted Virginian, Norvell. W. Page took Spider readers on a roller-coaster ride of wild action and fevered emotion, unlike anything ever published. Once he got going, he painted a portrait of a tortured superhero, one more emblematic of the 21st century than of the Great Depression. For Richard Wentworth saw himself as a man on a holy mission, a self-appointed messiah with a martyr complex. Norvell W. Page's mark on The Spider as a messiah-like figure would remain, even in his absence. While other authors, such as Emile C. Tepperman, thrust Wentworth into adventure after adventure. Although each writer brought his own style to the tales, all had to work with the madness and panicked-pacing Page had infused into the character for all time. Nick Santa Maria again takes on the dual role of Richard Wentworth, aka the Spider, Master of Men, for this powerful story, Devil's Pawnbroker. Originally published in The Spider magazine, May, 1937. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Santa Maria. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/094756/bk_acx0_094756_sample.mp3.
