Trapped in Iran: A Mother’s Desperate Journey to Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min

In 2009, Samieh Hezari made a terrible mistake. She flew from her adopted home of Ireland to her birthplace in Iran so her 14-month-old daughter, Rojha, could be introduced to the child's father. When the violent and unstable father refused to allow his daughter to leave and demanded that Samieh renew their relationship, a two-week holiday became a desperate five-year battle to get her daughter out of Iran. If Samieh could not do so before Rojha turned seven, the father could take sole custody - forever. The father's harassment and threats intensified, eventually resulting in an allegation of adultery that was punishable by stoning, but Samieh - a single mother trapped in a country she saw as restricting the freedom and future of her daughter - never gave up, gaining inspiration from other Iranian women facing similar situations. As both the trial for adultery and her daughter's seventh birthday loomed, the Irish government was unable to help, leaving Samieh to attempt multiple illegal escapes in an unforgettable, epic journey to freedom. Trapped in Iran is the harrowing and emotionally gripping story of how a mother defied a man and a country to win freedom for her daughter. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Necar Zadegan.

Journey of a Thousand Storms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min

Kooshyar Karimi had two careers in Iran, one as a doctor and one as an award-winning translator. Until he was kidnapped by the Intelligence Service. Behind his professional success, Kooshyar was a rebel on several fronts. Marginalised since boyhood as a Jew in a fundamentalist Islamic state, he was a member of a political group that opposed the government. He'd also been using his medical skills illegally, to save unmarried pregnant women from death by stoning. Snatched from the street, he was jailed and tortured and then forced to spy for the regime, before finally escaping to Turkey. There he faced a whole new struggle to keep his family safe while awaiting refugee status from the UN. He was forbidden to work and at the mercy of corrupt police, con men and red tape. Then life became more dangerous still, when the Intelligence Service tracked him down and used his mother, back in Iran, as blackmail. Kooshyar's inspiring story of how he managed to forge a new life in Australia is heightened by his largeness of heart, strength of character, and insight into human behaviour, from the unfathomably evil to the selflessly kind. With the skill of a natural storyteller, Journey of a Thousand Storms recounts a life of endurance, compassion and gritty determination. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Raj Sidhu.

Jesus on Trial: The Quick Trial that Changed the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min

The judgment of Jesus Christ was the most important event in the history of the West. His legend became the foundational myth of our societies. Nevertheless, the judicial process presents many questions that this work intends to solve: What was the reason to judge Jesus in such a hurry? He was arrested at midnight, judged by the Sanhedrin during the night, by Pilate in the morning, by Herod shortly thereafter and finally, again by Pilate. At noon he was already crucified. The whole process took 12 hours in full Jewish Passover. Why did they not wait for the Passover and the Sabbath to pass judgment on Jesus? Why could not they just wait another day? What did Jesus know or do that caused so much anxiety in the Sanhedrin? At the Roman crucifixion the corpses were left outdoors to be eaten by crows. Why Jesus was buried? Who and how did they get permission to bury him? Why was it awarded? The usual Roman procedure was to arrest an insurgent and all of his followers. So much so that the apostles disappeared and hid themselves when Jesus was arrested. Peter denied three times in one day his relationship with Jesus. Why in the case of Jesus were his followers not persecuted? Why were there Roman soldiers on guard at the tomb of Jesus? What were they taking care of? What were they preventing? There is no record of amnesties at Jewish Passover festivities. It was not a Roman custom to offer the people a choice between two convicts. How did the story of Barabbas arise and spread? If Jesus was received on his arrival in a donkey to Jerusalem with cheers and had so many followers, how is it that Jesus, according to this version of history, was not chosen to be saved? Why did the people choose to release Barabbas? The Sanhedrin had the power to judge, condemn, and execute the death penalty by stoning in cases of religious crimes. Why did they decide not to do it in the case of Jesus? What ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Linda Fitak. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/104873/bk_acx0_104873_sample.mp3.
