    Planet of the Blind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 340min
    Blindness in the 1950s was a social stigma. Stephen's mother wanted a normal life for him, so he fought desperately to uphold the illusion of sight. For a child frantic to fit in, each day was an exhausting pretence. He managed to ride a bike, when even reading involved pressing his nose to the page and painfully forcing his eyes to concentrate. Head up, he strode through a carefully memorized labyrinth of streets, hoping to fool passers-by that he could actually see. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Keeler.

    T. S. Eliot Reads The Waste Land, Four Quartets and Other Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 104min
    The most famous, beautiful, and spiritually moving poems of the 20th century, read by the most famous poet. These are historic recordings of the cream of Eliot's poetry. It is always something of a revelation to listen to a poet reading his own words, and these recordings are no exception. Eliot clearly and evenly characterises and reveals the voices of some of his most important works in this excellent reading. "The Waste Land" caught the imagination of the age with its powerful emotional impact. Eliot felt that the modern Western city had become a sterile, desert wasteland, and in it, life had become a sham pretence with no content but stale conventionality. "The Four Quartets" express the poet's wholehearted acceptance of the Christian faith. Each poem describes a meditation which leads to a reconciliation with the burden of the past. ungekürzt.

    The Unthinkable Triangle: A Pride and Prejudice Variation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min
    All is fair in love and war - or is it? What if Mr. Darcy's rival for Elizabeth Bennet's hand and heart is not some inconsequential stranger, but his dearest, closest friend? How is he to reconcile the claims of loyalty and kinship with the urge to pursue his heart's desire? "Eyes tightly shut against the horrifying future, Darcy dug his fingers in his hair. Lost to him forever. Not merely lost, but promised to his cousin - firmly in his life, but never his! How in God's name was he to bear it and not become unhinged? How was he to have her at his table as Richard's affianced, and not betray himself? How was he to see her, time and again, and give no sign that he wanted her more than he had ever wanted any woman? How was he to keep up the pretence, day after excruciating day?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stevie Zimmerman.

    On Secular Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
    R. L. Dabney (1820-1898) - preacher, theologian, soldier, poet, and essayist - strongly condemned the public education of his day. He saw with prophetic insight that State education could not help but be secularized since it was designed to please the people. As a result, he argued, public education would begin to teach its students not truth, but the values and virtues which were palatable to society at large. Although a century has passed since Dabney first wrote this essay, the questions that parents face haven't changed. Secular education still seeks to indoctrinate our children under the pretence of objectivity, and truth is still sacrificed for the sake of social "unity." We must acknowledge with Dabney that proper education is about heart and soul, not just propositions and facts. Only then will our children learn truth and be equipped to live out our faith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aaron Wells.

    Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes, the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar, holds a bitter grudge against his wealthy father. The Duke intends to give his Duchess a priceless diamond parure on their wedding anniversary - so Alec hires a pair of jewel thieves to steal it.  The Duke's remote castle is a difficult target, and Alec needs a way to get the thieves in.
