St. Augustine: The Giants of Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min

St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) was the first great systematic Christian philosopher. He attempted to combine the philosophical insights of Plato with the faith explicated in the Bible. Augustine thought of Plato's eternal forms as ideas in the mind of God; he believed that the Eternal Christ provides the light of knowledge to the human mind. For Augustine, every time we make a judgment of relative value, we implicitly acknowledge an absolute standard of value, which is God. His Confessions constitutes one of the timeless statements of faith and self-surrender. The Giants of Philosophy is a series of dramatic presentations, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest philosophers. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Heston.

Babysitter, 13507

I'm Viktoria, a caring, empathetic and trustworthy childminder with 3 years of aupair experience and one year of babysitting before that. I have minded kids from 6 months to 11 years old and can provide references from families I've worked for. I think I'm a good with kids, because I find it easy to put myself in their shoes and view the world through their eyes. The most important thing in my opinion is to treat children with respect and love, just like everyone else around you, but set boundaries, especially when it comes to safety. And still have fun in the meantime! I like doing arts and crafts with them, every type of play, writing/telling stories etc, but in my opinion it's the best to let the kids lead the way in play and just come up with some ides here and there. Although I am a Native Hungarian speaker, I've lived in the UK and Ireland for years at this point, so please consider me if you are looking for an English speaking nanny as I feel as confident in English as I do in Hungarian. I've just started to relearn German, I understand a few things, but I still need a lot of practice. From my references: "I have known Viki for over a year, during which I have gotten to know to know her quite well. I have been impressed by her dependability and independence, which she has demonstrated consistently. Viki lives with me and my children, and I trust her with them implicitly. Viki has never shown anything but patience and understanding around my children, and is very well suited to be in this line of work." "Viki worked for me for 4 months Her duties were as follows: Looking after two girls aged 8 months and 2 years of age. Cooking breakfast and lunch Getting the girls dressed Having one on one time with each of the children. Doing arts and crafts, reading Taking the children out each day Viki is very patient with children and I would highly recommend her. She is a very reliable and great at time keeping. "

Creating Characters: How to Build Story People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min

A jargon-free manual on the basics of developing interesting fictional charactersVibrant, believable characters help drive a fictional story. Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In Creating Characters, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along.“The core of character,” he says in chapter one, “lies in each individual story person’s ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important.” Building on that foundation - the capacity to care - Swain takes the would-be writer step by step through the fundamentals of finding and developing “characters who turn you on”. This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.The book is published by University of Oklahoma Press.

So when a debate over hospital snack foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle?

The War Prayer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 10min

Award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti narrates "The War Prayer", a short story or prose poem by Mark Twain, a scathing indictment of war and particularly of blind patriotic and religious fervor as motivations for war. The structure of the work is simple: An unnamed country goes to war, and patriotic citizens attend a church service for soldiers who have been called up. The people call upon their God to grant them victory and protect their troops. Suddenly an "aged stranger" appears and announces that he is God's messenger. He explains to them that he is there to speak aloud the second part of their prayer for victory, the part they have implicitly wished for but have not spoken aloud themselves: the prayer for the suffering and destruction of their enemies. What follows is a grisly depiction of hardships inflicted on war-torn nations by their conquerors. The story ends with the man being ignored. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Vendetti.

A Macat Analysis of Søren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min

What is the nature of our personal relationship with God? That's the core question of Fear and Trembling. If God asks us to do something we instinctively feel is unethical, must we obey and have faith that he knows best? Examining this question, Danish philosopher Kierkegaard considers the biblical story in which God commands Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. His unique reading of the story breaks new ground, focusing on our relationship with God at an individual level and arguing that true faith means maintaining hope, even in the face of despair. It also means trusting implicitly in God's purpose - as Abraham did. Kierkegaard believed his book would secure him a lasting reputation - and as time has gone by, he's been proved right. Though published in 1843, Fear and Trembling has inspired rebels throughout the 20th century, from Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King, Jr. in the American civil rights movement. ungekürzt.

William Wilde and the Stolen Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min

The riveting tale begun in William Wilde and the Necrosed continues as William finds himself beset on all sides by cruel foes and even crueler friends. Having survived the monster, Kohl Obsidian, Wiliam Wilde had hoped his life would settle down - that he'd finish his senior year of high school with no further adventures. But life isn't so simple for a potential magus, especially one who's overcome as deadly an enemy as Kohl. Instead, William has unwittingly earned the raptor gaze of even greater foes. One is someone he thought he could implicitly trust while others are even more dangerous. And all are from the island of Sinskrill. They are mahavans, powerful magic users bent on humanity's enslavement. They seek to capture William and chain him to their needs, to bind him in perpetual servitude upon Sinskrill. William finds himself caught among people for whom deceit and pain are simple coins to be traded, and his best hope to survive these new challenges might lie with someone he'd always thought to be his mortal enemy. ungekürzt.

Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature (eBook, ePUB)

Graphic narratives are one of the world's great art forms, but graphic novels and comics from Europe and the United States dominate scholarly conversations about them. Building upon the little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global South, this collection moves beyond a narrow Western approach to this quickly expanding field. By focusing on texts from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, these essays expand the study of graphic narratives to a global scale. Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature is also interested in how these texts engage with, fit in with, or complicate notions of World Literature. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South, and similar approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms. Ultimately, this collection explores the ways that the unique formal qualities of graphic narratives from the Global South intersect with issues facing the study of international literatures, such as translation, commodification, circulation, Orientalism, and many others.
