    New South Wales, 1817. Margaret Catchpole is stranded at a settler's homestead as the floodwater draws in, and she finds herself facing death - as she has several times before. She looks back over her life - the complex and stormy partnership with Will Laud, a 'hell-born-babe', that led her into the world of smuggling and in to a double life. After Will is forced to flee the country, Margaret is taken on as a nursemaid by the wealthy Cobbold family, but a crime against them means she is tried and sentenced to hang. She avoids death but when an elaborate gaol escape fails, Will is shot dead and Margaret captured. Sentenced once more to hang, she looks death full in the face. But she doesn't die.Her sentence is transmuted to transportation for life to Australia. The novel explores a deeply divided society. Ironically, by reaching the lowest depths and being cast out by the society which spawned her, Margaret finds her true role as an independent pioneer in a young colony. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Out of the Depths: The Way Through Sorrow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 124min
    When all seems lost...Written from prison, Out of the Depths is a journey through sorrow, suffering, and despair, ultimately leading to a new vision of hope, love, and beauty.In exquisite yet gut-wrenching prose, Oscar Wilde processes his dramatic fall and public humiliation and elucidates what he's learned from his descent into the shadow side of life. He also gives a unique, nonreligious interpretation of Jesus Christ and reflects profoundly on the relationship between art and sorrow.Wilde charts the way through sorrow, not around it. He shows that we have to take responsibility for our lives - owning our own actions as well as the circumstances that are dealt to us - in order to take charge of our futures. "To regret one's own experiences," he says, "is to arrest one's development."If we respond to suffering with love and acceptance instead of hate and bitterness, we will turn it to our benefit. Wilde teaches us the alchemy by which anguish can be transmuted into empathy and art. Today, with depression and despair afflicting so many - particularly creative and sensitive people - Wilde's reflections are more vital than ever. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Lord’s Supper , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
    Thomas Lupich is the Preceptor of the International Society of Seekers of the Truth, a retired electrical designer from Princeton University's Plasma Physics Laboratory, and a taiji instructor with an interest in science and health. His major interest is Biblical truth. He, therefore, considers himself a truth seeker: an avocation that he recommends to all men. Jesus commanded his disciples to become seekers of the truth and Thomas Lupich took him at his word. Solomon had this to say, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter." Thomas has written The Lord's Supper: Mingle with the Best to expound on the meaning and the blessings of the Eucharist. The Lord's Supper has various important layers of meaning, but much more importantly, it tells us how we can be transmuted into beings much like him. The hope of the author is to share with his listeners the Eucharist's light and its ability to transmute lives in the following way. Those that truly partake of the Lord's supper will be "mingling with the best", i.e., "The father and the son". The mingling will cause much of the best to rub off on them. What rubs off will make them grow and glow, not only in this present age, but also in the eons to come! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Drummond.

    Transmuting Suffering into Peace, Hörbuch, Digital, 187min
    Eckhart Tolle teaches a surprising form of emotional alchemy To be human is to suffer. Whether it is brief annoyance or a life-altering cataclysm, everyone will encounter suffering - and yet, according to Eckhart Tolle, all of these painful moments contain an opportunity for awakening. In Transforming Suffering into Peace, this celebrated teacher offers a new perspective on the ego and what he terms "the pain-body" - all the accumulated emotional wounds that follow us through life. Though the pain-body can easily rise up and hijack our consciousness with unpleasant emotions, in this program Eckhart reveals a hopeful truth - by turning the light of awareness on our suffering, that suffering becomes a powerful gateway to Presence. Join Eckhart for more than three hours of insights on how to stay present during the arising of the pain-body and how to take advantage of what is actually a potent opportunity for awakening into Presence. Here you will learn: Why resentment and an inability to forgive supercharge the pain-body How to stay present while honoring inescapable emotions like grief Why some forms of suffering don't look like suffering on the surface How to respond to challenging situations without feeding the ego Why acceptance of the present moment doesn't mean passivity  In the words of Eckhart, "The less you personalize the pain you feel and associate it with a story in your head...the more quickly it becomes transmuted. It becomes fuel for your consciousness." With Transmuting Suffering into Peace, you will discover just how even our most challenging experiences can become openings to a richer and more grounded life. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.  Language: English. Narrator: Eckhart Tolle.

    The Hemingway Short Story: A Study in Craft for Writers and Readers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    In his highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Art Matters: Hemingway, Craft, and the Creation of the Modern Short Story, Robert Paul Lamb delivers a dazzling analysis of the craft of this influential writer. Lamb scrutinizes a selection of Hemingway's exemplary stories to illuminate the author's methods of construction and to show how craft criticism complements and enhances cultural literary studies. The Hemingway Short Story reconciles the creative writer's focus on art with the concerns of cultural critics, establishing the value that craft criticism holds for all readers. Beautifully written in clear and engaging prose, Lamb's study presents close readings of representative Hemingway stories such as ''Soldier's Home,'' ''A Canary for One,'' ''God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen,'' and ''Big Two-Hearted River.'' Lamb's examination of ''Indian Camp,'' for instance, explores not only its biographical contexts - showing how details, incidents, and characters developed in the writer's mind and notebook as he transmuted life into art--but also its original, deleted opening and the final text of the story, uncovering otherwise unseen aspects of technique and new terrains of meaning. Lamb proves that a writer is not merely a site upon which cultural forces contend, but a professional in his or her craft who makes countless conscious decisions in creating a literary text. Revealing how the short story operates as a distinct literary genre, Lamb provides the detailed readings that the form demands - showing Hemingway practicing his craft, offering new inclusive interpretations of much debated stories, reevaluating critically neglected stories, analyzing how craft is inextricably entwined with a story's cultural representations, and demonstrating the many ways in which careful examinations of stories reward us. ungekürzt.

    Stoicism: A Stoic Approach to Modern Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
    It's a well-recorded phenomenon that words are liable to develop different meanings in common modern usage compared to those they had their origins and how people "in the know" would use them. This is doubly true for philosophical concepts - the word Epicurean, for example, has been transmuted from identifying the very sober and level teachings of the Greek philosopher Epicurus to being a synonym for wanton pleasure-seeking and hedonism. Stoicism hasn't suffered as severe a distortion. The modern understanding of what it means to be stoical is never showing any form of outward emotion regardless of all circumstances, good or bad, and indeed not having any emotions whatsoever. The entire species of the Vulcans in the popular science fiction franchise Star Trek exemplifies the popular definition. But it's easy to recognize an absence of outward emotion as not necessarily being a good thing; it is possible, after all, for someone to have a calm and blank exterior and yet be screaming inside. Having no internal emotion at all is also a less-than-ideal situation, as well. Without emotion, how could one possibly enjoy life? Being immune to the negatives and vicissitudes of life in this way is something we can all stand to benefit from. Our modern lives are so full of worries and insecurities, and peace and fulfillment are something most people try to find outside of themselves. Stoicism teaches that these are things we can only find from inside ourselves, and gives us the tools and mindset necessary to build them up. What this audiobook will endeavor to do is to introduce the philosophy of Stoicism to the modern person and make a case for how it can drastically improve our outlook and quality of life. ungekürzt.

    South Toward Home: Travels in Southern Literature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    A literary travelogue into the heart of classic Southern literature. What is it about the South that has inspired so much of America's greatest literature? And why, when we think of Flannery O'Connor or William Faulkner or Harper Lee, do we think of them not just as writers but as Southern writers? In South Toward Home, Margaret Eby - herself a Southerner - travels through the South in search of answers to these questions, visiting the hometowns and stomping grounds of some of our most beloved authors. From Mississippi (William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Richard Wright) to Alabama (Harper Lee, Truman Capote) to Georgia (Flannery O'Connor, Harry Crews) and beyond, Eby looks deeply at the places that these authors lived in and wrote about. South Toward Home reveals how these authors took the people and places they knew best and transmuted them into lasting literature. Side by side with Eby, we meet the man who feeds the peacocks at Andalusia, the Georgia farm where Flannery O'Connor wrote her most powerful stories; we peek into William Faulkner's liquor cabinet to better understand the man who claimed civilization began with distillation and the "postage stamp of native soil" that inspired him; and we go in search of one of New Orleans' iconic hot dog vendors, a job held by Ignatius J. Reilly in John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. From the library that showed Richard Wright that there was a way out to the courtroom at the heart of To Kill a Mockingbird, Eby grapples with a land fraught with history and mythology, for, as Eudora Welty wrote, "One place understood helps us understand all places better." Combining biographical detail with expert criticism, Eby delivers a rich and evocative tribute to the literary South. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Bennett.

    Let There Be Light: The Real Story of Her Creation
    An "irreverent yet profound" (Publishers Weekly) retelling of the Book of Genesis, starring a female God, from the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and author of Passing for Human In this ambitious and transcendent graphic novel, Liana Finck turns her keen eye to none other than the Old Testament, reimagining the story of Genesis with God as a woman, Abraham as a resident of New York City, and Rebekah as a robot, among many other delightful twists. In Finck's retelling, the millennia-old stories of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau haunt the pages like familiar but partially forgotten nursery rhymes―transmuted by time but still deeply resonant. With her trademark insightfulness, wry humor, and supple, moving visual style, Finck accentuates the latent sweetness and timeless wisdom of the original text, infusing it with wit and whimsy while retaining every ounce of its spiritual heft. Let There Be Light is proof that old stories can live forever, whether as ancient scripture or as a series of profound and enchanting cartoons. The Book of Genesis is about some of the most fundamental, eternally pertinent questions that we can ask: What does it mean to be human? What is the purpose of our lives? And how should we treat one another? The stories that attempt to answer these questions are an immediate link with the people who first told them. Unable to fathom the holiness and preciousness of that notion, or put it into words, Finck set out to depict it. The result is a true story of creation, rendered by one of our most innovative creators.

    DRAWN
    Verschmelzen von Zeichnung und Grafik Christian Schwarzwalds künstlerisches Medium (geb. 1971 in Salzburg; lebt und arbeitet in Wien und Berlin) ist die Zeichnung. Er verwendet verschiedenste Techniken und Bildquellen und nutzt Aspekte der Reproduzierbarkeit, der Irritation durch eingebaute Fehler und der Illusion von Dreidimensionalität. Schwarzwalds Arbeit verkörpert dabei einen erweiterten Begriff von Grafik: Skizzen, Notizen, Editionen und Malereien werden im Raum zu Ensembles. Das Einzelblatt - als Zeichen - wird so zur Komponente eines komplexen Zeichensystems von Bildwelten. Mit analytischer Herangehensweise erschafft Schwarzwald eine enzyklopädische Welt der Zeichnung.Der umfangreiche Bildband DRAWN zeigt neben einem künstlerischen Teil eine Chronologie von über 100 Projekten. Die im Duplexdruckverfahren hergestellte Publikation greift durch den Zweifarbdruck ein zentrales Stilmittel Schwarzwalds in Buchform auf. Die Texte schrieben Elsy Lahner, Ann Cotten, Sebastian Egenhofer und Marcus Steinweg.Fusing Drawing and Graphic ArtThe drawing is the medium of Christian Schwarzwald's (b. Salzburg, Austria, 1971; lives and works in Vienna and Berlin) art. Employing a wide range of techniques, he draws on diverse image sources and harnesses aspects of reproducibility, the irritation provoked by built-in defects, and the illusion of three dimensions. Schwarzwald's work embodies an expanded conception of graphic art: sketches, notes, artist's editions, and paintings coalesce in ensembles in space; the individual sheet-as a signifier-is transmuted into a component of a complex semiotic system charting visual realms. Pursuing an analytical approach, Schwarzwald thus creates an encyclopedic world of drawing.The extensive and richly illustrated volume DRAWN includes an image section as well as a chronological overview of more than 100 projects. Produced using the duplex printing process, the publication's two-color printed pages reprise a central stylistic device of Schwarzwald's art in the book medium. With essays by Elsy Lahner, Ann Cotten, Sebastian Egenhofer, and Marcus Steinweg.
