Paddy Clarke Ha-Ha-Ha, Hörbuch, Digital, 170min

Patrick Clarke is a 10-year-old boy trying to make sense of his world. He is confused. His Ma and Da fight too much. School seems like a joke. And love, though it has a good reputation, seems pretty cruel. Paddy sees everything, but has trouble understanding it all. His story is an exuberant romp through the triumphs, indignities, and troublemaking detours of an Irish childhood. Written with warmth and wit by the author of The Commitments, which was made into a hit movie, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha is the most moving story about the humor and challenge of growing up since Catcher in the Rye.

Expansion Rebellion: Using the Law to Fight a Runway and Save the Planet

This is a story of hope in the face of widespread consternation over the global climate crisis. For many people concerned about global warming, the 2018 vote by UK parliamentarians to proceed with the plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport was a devastating blow. Aviation was predicted to make up some 25% of the UKs carbon emissions by 2050 and so the decision seemed to fly in the face of the UKs commitment to be a climate leader.Can the UK expand Heathrow airport, bringing in 700 extra planes a day, and still stay within ambitious carbon budgets? One legal case sought to answer this question. Campaigning lawyers argued that plans for a third runway at one of the worlds busiest airports would jeopardise the UKs ability to meet its commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. This book traces the dramatic story of how the case was prepared - and why international aviation has for so long avoided meaningful limits on its expansion.

Die Asche meiner Mutter

Frank McCourts Memoiren "Die Asche meiner Mutter" rührten und verzauberten Millionen Leser in aller Welt. Mit viel Dramatik, Wärme, aber auch augenzwinkerndem Witz erzählte McCourt von seiner entbehrungsreichen Kindheit in Irland, von Hunger, Armut, dem Alkoholismus seines Vaters und dem verzweifelten Überlebenskampf seiner Mutter.Meisterregisseur Alan Parker ("Fame", "Birdy", "Mississippi Burning", "Die Commitments") verfilmte den Bestseller mit außergewöhnlicher Liebe zum Detail, mit viel Gefühl und auch mit leiser Ironie. Robert Carlyle ("The Full Monty - Ganz oder gar nicht") und Emily Watson ("Breaking the Waves", "Hilary and Jackie") glänzen in den Hauptrollen, Szenenbildner Geoffrey Kirkland ("Midnight Express", "Der Stoff, aus dem die Helden sind") und Kameramann Michael Seresin, der nahezu alle Filme von Alan Parker fotografierte, schufen die glaubwürdige, atmosphärische Illusion eines alten Irlands. Der Leidensweg der Familie McCourt, die um Brot betteln musste, der innerhalb von zwei Jahren drei Kinder starben, die von der Kirche gedemütigt und der Wohlfahrt vergessen wurden, geht zu Herzen. Es ist eine Überlebens-Geschichte, wie sie Filme nur selten zu erzählen vermögen!

Bring Out the Dog: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min

“A near-miraculous, brilliant debut.” (George Saunders, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo)“In one exquisitely crafted story after the next, Will Mackin maps the surreal psychological terrain of soldiers in a perpetual war.” (Phil Klay, National Book Award-winning author of Redeployment)Winner of The Pen/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection The 11 stories in Will Mackin’s mesmerizing debut collection draw from his many deployments with a special operations task force in Iraq and Afghanistan. They began as notes he jotted on the inside of his forearm in grease pencil and, later, as bullet points on the torn-off flap of an MRE kit. Whenever possible, he incorporated those notes into his journals. Years later, he used those journals to write this book.Together, the stories in Bring Out the Dog offer a remarkable portrait of the absurdity and poetry that define life in the most elite, clandestine circles of modern warfare. It is a world of intense bonds, ancient credos, and surprising compassion - of success, failure, and their elusive definitions. Moving between settings at home and abroad, in vivid language that reflects the wonder and discontent of war, Mackin draws the listener into a series of surreal, unsettling, and deeply human episodes: In "Crossing the River No Name", a close call suggests that miracles do exist, even if they are in brutally short supply; in "Great Circle Route Westward Through Perpetual Night", the death of the team’s beloved dog plunges them into a different kind of grief; in "Kattekoppen", a man struggles to reconcile his commitments as a father and his commitments as a soldier; and in "Baker’s Strong Point", a man whose job it is to pull things together struggles with a loss of control.Told without a trace of false bravado and with a keen, Barry Hannah-like sense of the absurd, Bring Out the Dog manages to capture the ungekürzt.
