    Arved Winter wurde vor kurzem seines Amtes als Pfarrer in einer Trierer Gemeinde enthoben, weil er von der Kanzel herab verkündete, er glaube nicht mehr an Gott. In tiefer Enttäuschung und starken Zweifeln an Gott und der Welt, vor allem aber an seinen Stellvertretern auf Erden, macht er einen Ausflug in die Eifel. Er bemerkt seltsame Aktivitäten, huschende Gestalten, und je später es wird, desto merkwürdiger und unheimlicher wird das Geschehen in den kleinen Dörfern, durch die er fährt. Erst spät begreift er, dass es sich um Vorbereitungen für die nahendeWalpurgisnacht handelt. Das Wetter wird schlechter, und noch in Gewitter und Dunkelheit fährt Winter ziellos umher. Da entdeckt er in einem Waldstück eine Frau, die wild gestikulierend seinen Wagen anhält. Sie ist völlig hysterisch und bittet Winter um Hilfe. Ihr Mann, so berichtet sie, liege mitten im Wald im Sterben. deutsch. Peter Woy. https://samples.audible.de/bk/tsdr/000279/bk_tsdr_000279_sample.mp3.

    Da kommt Gott - tut so, als wärt ihr beschäftigt." Denn Gott ist stinksauer. Nachdem Er sich im Himmel eine einwöchige Auszeit für einen Angelurlaub gegönnt hat, kehrt Er nach etwa vierhundertfünfzig Jahren (ein Tag im Himmel entspricht 57 Erdenjahren) wieder zurück an Seinen Schreibtisch und muss mitansehen, wie die Erde in der Zwischenzeit den Bach runtergegangen ist. Umweltsünden, Kriege, moralischer Verfall, kirchliche Hassprediger, skrupellose Kommerzialisierung - die Menschen sind auf dem besten Weg, sich selbst zu zerstören. Und so bleibt Gott nichts anderes übrig, als Seinen Sohn Jesus Christus, dem es im Himmel blendend geht und der mit Jimi Hendrix Gitarre spielt und Joints raucht, wieder auf die Erde zu schicken, um Gutes zu tun und das einzig wahre Gebot SEID LIEB zu predigen. Widerwillig landet Jesus in New York und versucht zunächst erfolglos als Sänger und Gitarrist in einer Rockband Gehör zu finden. Derweil schart er seine ersten Jünger um sich - Drogenabhängige, Gescheiterte, Obdachlose, denen er zu helfen versucht. Als seine Mission, die Massen zu erreichen, zu scheitern droht, greift er zum letzten Mittel: Er nimmt an einer Castingshow teil. Damit beginnt eine denkwürdige Odyssee quer durch Amerika. deutsch.

    The Republic (Greek: Πολιτεία, Politeia; Latin: Res Publica) is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 375 BC, concerning justice (δικαιοσύνη), the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man. It is Plato's best-known work, and has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically.In the dialogue, Socrates talks with various Athenians and foreigners about the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man. They consider the natures of existing regimes and then propose a series of different, hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis (Καλλίπολις), a city-state ruled by a philosopher king. They also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's setting seems to be during the Peloponnesian War.The Republic is generally placed in the middle period of Plato's dialogues - that is, it is believed to be written after the early period dialogues but before the late period dialogues. However, the distinction of this group from the early dialogues is not as clear as the distinction of the late dialogues from all the others. Nonetheless, Ritter, Arnim, and Baron - with their separate methodologies - all agreed that the Republic was well distinguished, along with Parmenides, Phaedrus and Theaetetus. Language: English.

    Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American original - a luminous literary theorist, an erratic genius, and an analyst par excellence of human obsession and compulsion. The scope of his literary achievements and the dramatic character of Poe's life have drawn readers and critics to him in droves. And yet, upon his death, one obituary penned by a literary enemy in the New York Daily Tribune cascaded into a lasting stain on Poe's character, leaving a historic misunderstanding. Many remember Poe as a difficult, self-pitying, troubled drunkard, often incapable of caring for himself. Poe reclaims the Baltimore and Virginia writer's reputation and power, retracing Poe's life and career. Biographer and critic James M. Hutchisson captures the boisterous worlds of literary New York and Philadelphia in the 1800s to understand why Poe wrote the way he did and why his achievement was so important to American literature. The biography presents a critical overview of Poe's major works and his main themes, techniques, and imaginative preoccupations. This portrait of the writer emphasizes Poe's southern identity; his existence as a workaday journalist in the burgeoning magazine era; his authority as a literary critic and cultural arbiter; his courtly demeanor and sense of social propriety; his advocacy of women writers; his adaptation of art forms as diverse as the so-called "gutter press" and the haunting rhythms of African American spirituals; his borrowing of imagery from such popular social movements as temperance and freemasonry; and his far-reaching, posthumous influence. James M. Hutchisson, Charleston, South Carolina, is a professor of American literature and southern studies at The Citadel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aaron Henkin.

    When the Black Dragon seized the Deep of Ylferdun, young Gareth braved the far Winterlands to find John Aversin, Dragonsbane - the only living man ever to slay a dragon. In return for the promise of the King to send help to the Winterlands, Aversin agreed to attempt the nearly impossible feat again. With them, to guard them on the haunted trip south, went Jenny Waynest, a half-taught sorceress and mother of Aversin's sons. But at the decadent Court, nothing was as expected. Rebellion threatened the land. Zyerne, a sorceress of seemingly unlimited power, held the King under an evil spell, and he refused to see them. Meantime, the dragon fed well on the knights who had challenged him. In the end, Aversin, Jenny, and Gareth had to steal away at night to challenge Morkeleb, largest and wisest of dragons. But that was only the beginning of the perils they must face. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Perkins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/006755/bk_adbl_006755_sample.mp3.
