    As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 833min
    This, the second of three volumes of Susan Sontag’s journals and notebooks, begins where the first volume left off, in the middle of the 1960s. It traces and documents Sontag’s evolution from fledgling participant in the artistic and intellectual world of New York City to world-renowned critic and dominant force in the world of ideas with the publication of the groundbreaking Against Interpretation in 1966. As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh follows Sontag through the turbulent years of the 1960s—from her trip to Hanoi at the peak of the Vietnam War to her time making films in Sweden—up to 1981 and the beginning of the Reagan era. This is an invaluable record of the inner workings of one of the most inquisitive and analytical thinkers of the twentieth century at the height of her power. It is also a remarkable document of one individual’s political and moral awakening. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Van Dyck.

    The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
    William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, a country where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger, and a place where hope and opportunity were hard to find. Enchanted by the workings of electricity as a boy, William had a goal to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that left his family's farm devastated and his parents destitute. Unable to pay the 80-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died. Yet William refused to let go of his dreams. With nothing more than a fistful of cornmeal in his stomach, a small pile of once-forgotten science textbooks, and an armory of curiosity and determination, he embarked on a daring plan to bring his family a set of luxuries that only two percent of Malawians could afford and what the West considers a necessity--electricity and running water. Using scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves, William forged a crude yet operable windmill, an unlikely contraption and small miracle that eventually powered four lights, complete with homemade switches and a circuit breaker made from nails and wire. A second machine turned a water pump that could battle the drought and famine that loomed with every season. Soon, news of William's magetsi a mphepo--his "electric wind"--spread beyond the borders of his home, and the boy who was once called crazy became an inspiration to those around the world. Here is the remarkable story about human inventiveness and its power to overcome crippling adversity. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind will inspire anyone who doubts the power of one individual's ability to change his community and better the lives of those around him. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    2018 Château Lynch-Bages 5. GRAND CRU CLASSÉ PAUILLAC A.C.
    James Suckling: 97-98/100 Punkte »This is incredibly powerful and structured with so much tannin backbone and length, yet it’s cool and fresh with a compact palate and great length. Muscular.« Decanter: 97/100 Punkte »This is hugely impressive right from the off - strap on your walking boots, get your crampons at the ready, there is a wall to climb - not one that you ever hit by the way, because contrary to expectations this unfurls slowly, keeping the peak just out of sight. It’s great quality and one of my favourites from this property because it’s full of power but with a caress, so much tannic power too and yet so light of foot. It’s filled with absolutely delicious black chocolate, rosemary, cardamom and pepper but also lets the light in thanks for a fresh core running through. Having tasted it a few times it’s clear it’s going to age extremely well. A yield of 38hl/ha. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040«  Wine Spectator: 96-99/100 Punkte  »Dark cassis, plum and cherry fruit flavors stream through in this red, harnessed well by bolts of iron along the way. Sweet tobacco detail echoes through the finish, which is seriously long. An extremely rock-solid wine in the making here.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 96-98/100 Punkte »The 2018 Lynch Bages is made up of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 75% new barriques. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is quite coy and restrained to begin, fanning out to offer pure, ripe blackcurrants, black cherries and preserved plums with wafts of red roses, cigar box, incense, cardamom and fenugreek with savory touches of black olives, Marmite toast and smoked meats. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, with a solid foundation of very firm, very ripe, grainy tannins and superb freshness supporting the generous black fruit layers, finishing long with provocative ferrous suggestions.« Falstaff: 96/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Attraktives schwarzes Waldbeerkonfit, zart nach Cassis, ein Hauch von Minze, frische Orangenzesten. Saftig, gute Komplexität, dezente Extraktsüße, integrierte Tannine, mineralisch und salzig im Abgang, rotbeeriger Touch im Rückgeschmack, noch sehr unterentwickelt.«  Wine Enthusiast: 95-97/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. This vintage shows the elegant side of a typically powerful wine. It offers dense black fruits that are balanced by the stylish wood aging and bold tannins. This impressive wine is likely to age well.« Weinwisser: 19/20 »72 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 19 % Merlot, 6 % Cabernet Franc, 3 % Petit Verdot, 40 hl/ha, 75 % neue Barriques. Dichtes Purpurgranat mit aufhellendem Rand. Verführerisches fruchtig-würziges Bouquet nach reifem Cassis, Brasiltabak, dunklen Edelhölzern. Im zweiten Ansatz Nougatpralinen, Lakritze und Heidelbeerkompott. Am kräftigen Gaumen zeigt der Pauillac-Bulldozer sein wahres Gesicht, muskelbepackt, vor Kraft strotzend und nach Flaschenlagerung lechzend. Im komprimierten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen gepaart mit dichter Mineralik, Schlehensaft und spürbarer Adstringenz. Ein Gigant! Der diesjährige Song zum Jahrgang, den sich das Team ausgesucht hat, passt perfekt dazu: «Purple Rain» von Prince! Trinken 2028 bis 2055«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
    Soon to be a major motion pictured directed by and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. When William Kamkwamba was just 14 years old, his family told him that he must leave school and come home to work on the farm - they could no longer afford his fees. This is his story of how he found a way to make a difference, how he brought light to his family and village and hope to his nation.Malawi is a country battling AIDS, drought and famine, and in 2002 a season of floods, followed by the most severe famine in 50 years, brought it to its knees. Like the majority of the population, William's family were farmers. They were totally reliant on the maize crop. By the end of 2001, after many lean and difficult years, there was no more crop. They were running out of food - had nothing to sell - and had months until they would be able to harvest their crop again.Forced to leave school at 14 years old, with no hope of raising the funds to go again, William resorted to borrowing books from the small local library to continue his education. One day, browsing the titles, he picked up a book about energy, with a picture of a wind turbine on the front cover. Fascinated by science and electricity, but knowing little more about the technology, William decided to build his own. Ridiculed by those around him, and exhausted from his work in the fields every day, and using nothing more than bits of scrap metal, old bicycle parts and wood from the blue gum tree, he slowly built his very own windmill.This windmill has changed the world in which William and his family live. Only 2 percent of Malawi has electricity; William's windmill now powers the light bulbs and radio for his compound. He has since built more windmills for his school and his village.When news of William's invention spread, people from across the globe offered to help him. Soon he was re-enrolled in college and travelling to America to visit wind farms. This is his incredible story. W ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chike Johnson.
