    Durango Gesamtausgabe 1 (Band 1-3)
    Er ist längst eine Western-Legende: Durango, der wahre lonesome Cowboy, der eher schießt, als lange zu schwatzen. Dabei war er, als er erstmals auf der Bildfläche erschien, fast schon ein Nachgeborener. John Wayne lag bereits fünf Fuß unter der Erde, und der Italo-Western hatte die Prärie nachhaltig umgepflügt. Was man Durango ansieht: Gerade sein Debüt verdankt den beiden Sergios, Leone und vor allem Corbucci, sehr viel. Doch auch die beiden hatten mittlerweile die Satteltaschen gepackt, waren weitergezogen. Durango aber kam und blieb. Seither haben noch viele andere verdiente Westerner sich in die ewigen Jagdgründe zurückgezogen, Durango jedoch, der schweigsame Rächer, findet nach wie vor keine Ruhe. Und das ist es, was am Ende zählt: Wer sich am längsten im Sattel hält.

    A Gentlemen's Guide to Style and Self-Defense in the Old American West: Traditional American History Series, Book 14 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min
    The Old West has had a powerful impact on the concept of gentlemanly masculinity among Americans. To behave like a gentleman may mean little or much. To spend large sums of money like a gentleman may be of no great praise, but to conduct oneself like a gentleman implies a high standard even for those without financial means. For almost two centuries, the frontiersman has been a standard of rugged individualism and stoic bravery for the American male. Provider, protector, counselor, and knight errant to the weak or helpless, men on the frontier stood apart. Newspapers, dime novels, and Wild West shows helped to form the popular view of Old West masculinity in the later 19th century. Novels and short stories served this purpose in the first half of the 20th century, but it was films and TV that cemented the image of the Old West that most post-WWII Baby Boomers have today. The study of film and other media representations has been a particularly energetic field for masculinity research. However, western films are not so much about the West as they are about the Westerner. He stands alone, heroic, powerful, and seeking justice and order. The Westerner is the "last gentleman" and Westerns are "probably the last art form in which the concept of honor retains its strength." Directors and screenwriters, ultimately having overcome the simplistic shoot-em-up, used the genre to explore the pressing subjects of their day like racism, nationalism, capitalism, family, and honor, issues more deeply meshed with the concept of manliness than simply wearing a gun belt and Stetson hat. Fear not, Old West purists! For those traditionalists among you, this audiobook is filled with authentic designs, facts, weapons, and tales from the mid-1800s to the turn of the century and slightly beyond. Here are some of the roots of the most popular holsters, fashions, weapons, cartridges, and myths preferred by collectors, reenactors, and cowboy action enthusiasts. /p ungekürzt. Language: English.

    History for Kids: The Life of Davy Crockett , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
    The Wild West and the frontier have long held a special place in the narrative of American history, and of all the legends and folk heroes who lived in the 19th century, none became as famous as Davy Crockett, "The King of the Wild Frontier."Crockett had the distinction of being a living legend in his own life. Known as a hardscrabble frontiersman who could spin a good yarn but who also took a no-nonsense approach that brought him from the backwoods of Tennessee to the halls of Congress. Though he served during the presidency of another Westerner, Andrew Jackson, Crockett was very much his own man, and he was distrustful of other politicians, a sentiment that has only endured him further to subsequent generations of Americans. ungekürzt.
