  Eleanor Roosevelt: A Life of Discovery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min

  Almost anything scares young Eleanor: mice, the dark, and a host of imaginary dangers. But she learns to hide her feelings - her father disapproves of fear, and she longs only to please him. She knows she will always disappoint her beautiful, socialite mother, because Eleanor is painfully shy and plain. As a young debutante in Manhattan, she spends her days teaching needy children and touring crowded tenements. There, she makes a life-changing discovery that later enables her to redefine the role of America's first lady - being shy doesn't matter as long as she's helping others. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara Caruso. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/reco/001589/bk_reco_001589_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Young Sleek and Full of Hell: Ten Years of New York's Alleged Gallery

  In 1992, Ludlow Street was just another Lower East Side gutter of low-rent tenements populated by artists, musicians, film-makers, designers, writers, and hoodlums. At the heart of it all stood Alleged Gallery. Stationed securely outside the institutionalized art world, this persistently peripheral gallery launched--in the ten years it was open--the international careers of countless artists working at the aesthetic edges of street art, fashion, film, performance and music. As the purveyor of a potent mixture of art, music, sex, drugs, and drinking, Alleged trafficked in irreverence and unlimited freedom. In Young, Sleek, and Full of Hell, the history of Alleged's exhibitions, events and attitudes is chronicled through behind-the-scenes photographs and interviews with the artists, musicians, designers, models, actors, film-makers, curators, gallerists, and collectors who were the scene's lifeblood.

  Falcon Fire

  On colonial Venus, people who are susceptible to lies have been denigrated and barred from the citizenry. Ancient dirigibles dock at the top of colossal towers to shunt people to and from underground cities. Armies of enclosed, beetle-shaped biocrawlers creep around the planet providing a coveted, yet deficient, natural environment. Colonists strive for an outdoor ecology to call their own, but terraforming is faltering. There is growing unrest, and at the heart of this rift is Hix, a member of the Venusian underclass. He has risen from the tenements to become a renowned film star, until he is accused of murder. Neeva is destined to be Keeper, an esteemed protector of First Colony Heritage. She is also an inspector assigned to Hix's case, and the victim happens to be her sister. Hix and Neeva must find passage through the winds of change, or their people will be swept away forever.
