    Keyserlings Geheimnis
    Eduard von Keyserling - Außenseiter, adeliger Dandy, Dichter von europäischem Rang. Klaus Modick erzählt in seinem neuen Roman von Liebe und Verrat und von einem Schriftsteller, den die Vergangenheit einholt.Im Jahr 1901 lädt der Dramatiker Max Halbe einige seiner Schwabinger Freunde ein, die Sommerfrische am Starnberger See zu verbringen. Keyserling, arriviert beim Publikum und unter den Kollegen beliebt, sitzt dort in jenen Tagen dem Maler Lovis Corinth Modell. Das legendäre Porträt wird den von der Syphilis gezeichneten Autor in geradezu faszinierender Hässlichkeit zeigen. Während ihrer Sitzungen erkundigt sich Corinth wiederholt nach der Vergangenheit des baltischen Grafen, nach seiner Jugend und Studentenzeit, um die sich Gerüchte ranken, bekommt jedoch nur ausweichende Antworten. Bei einem Konzertbesuch mit Frank Wedekind begegnet Keyserling einer Sängerin, die ihm trotz des unbekannten Namens merkwürdig vertraut erscheint. Handelt es sich womöglich um jene Frau, die ihn vor mehr als zwanzig Jahren in den Skandal verwickelte, der ihn zur Flucht nach Wien zwang und in Adelskreisen zur Persona non grata werden ließ?Nach seinem Bestseller »Konzert ohne Dichter« gelingt Klaus Modick erneut ein unvergesslicher Künstlerroman. Ironisch, atmosphärisch, klug und spannend.

    Hannity's Curse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min
    Smooth-talking Sean Hannity has put his golden tongue to work as a con man par excellence. Other men might be content to go for the easy marks, but Hannity is an artist who considers the entire world his stage. He skates through adventures with very little harm done to his person; his Gaelic charm and quick wits always carry the day.But as he watches a roach crawl its way across his filthy Baghdad cell, he considers that perhaps this time he may have miscalculated. And it was such a lovely scheme, too. He would highjack an oil tanker and threaten to dump the oil into the coastline unless his demands were met. But he needed muscle for the job. Given that Iraq had just invaded Kuwait and was persona non grata with the west, he figured Saddam Hussein would jump at the chance to lift the embargo with a spot of hijacking. By representing himself as an I.R.A. man, he could set up the job, make a mint, and walk away leaving Iraq holding the bag. Fortunately, his gift for planning carries the day again, and Iraq releases him to carry out the plan. The I.R.A. has gotten wind of the scheme and is demanding a cut (holding Hannity's girlfriend for insurance), the Iraqi lieutenant assigned to him has orders to kill everyone involved, and his plans are falling apart.Hannity is at the top of his game as he cons, swindles, and double-crosses his way across the world to rescue his girl and make the big score, too. ungekürzt.

    The Party's Over: How the Extreme Right Hijacked the GOP and I Became a Democrat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
    Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida, spent years in the party's inner circle. In this no-holds-barred memoir, he shows why he switched sides and became a Democrat. After serving as a Republican governor - one who was on the short list for the vice presidency in 2008 - Charlie Crist made headlines when he decided to run for the U.S. Senate as an Independent. He was on the front page again when he endorsed President Obama in 2012 and spoke at the Democratic National Convention - and yet again when he officially joined the Democratic Party later that year. In The Party's Over, he'll make even more news when he reveals: The inside story of his 2010 Senate primary campaign against Marco Rubio, where he learned exactly how vicious the Republican leadership can be His journey from inner circle to persona non grata, thanks to his literal embrace of President Obama His very frank opinions on Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and other top-tier Republicans Why he believes that Democrats have the right vision for Florida and the nation What he's learned as a member of both parties and why he remains convinced that the two-party system can still work - with the right leadership Rather than just rehashing his career, in this audiobook Crist offers a focused indictment of the failings of the Republican Party, naming names and identifying where things went wrong. The Party's Over is as far from "politics as usual" as you can get. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlie Crist.

    Campus Confidential: Doctor Rowena Halley, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    Doctor Rowena Halley needs a job. But it may cost her more than she’s bargained for.During one of the worst years on record in the academic job market, newly minted PhD Rowena Halley has, against all odds, gotten a job. For one semester. At poverty wages. In New Jersey. But with so many of her fellow PhDs bagging groceries or worse instead of teaching Russian, this is the best chance she has.New jobs come with a lot of stress, everyone knows that. But Rowena has more problems than just learning her way around a new campus and convincing all these Yankees that, yes, she really is from Georgia. Tensions in the department are high, her family wants to know when she’s going to get a decent job and a decent man, and her ex-boyfriend is as usual persona non grata with the Russian government.It’s when students start coming to her for help that she really gets into trouble, though. Rowena got where she is because she wants to help people and save the world, but if she’s not careful, her idealism may get her killed. Witty and suspenseful in the vein of the Stephanie Plum novels, Campus Confidential is an insider’s look at the gritty underbelly of academia, where the struggles are so vicious because the stakes are so small. Only sometimes, they’re a matter of life and death. Fans of Kinsey Millhone's grit, Stephanie Plum's humor, or Spenser's wry take on academia will love this new series!Content warning: We've got angsty adjunct professors, mouthy undergrads, a cynical Navy vet, and a career Marine all mixing it up in here. The level of adult language is significant. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sid Stark. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/190390/bk_acx0_190390_sample.mp3.

    Travel Tales Monthly: No 4 OCT 2014 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
    Michael Brein's Travel Tales Monthly bookazine Issue No. 4 for October 2014 contains among the best travel stories from Michael's huge collection of about 10,000 travel tales that he has gathered in interviews with nearly 1,750 world travelers and adventurers during his four decades of travel to more than 125 countries throughout the world. The 10 travel tales that are featured for October, as well as each following month, include a fascinating mix of travel stories as well as a few brief vignettes. The October issue features such tales as "The Hug", "Les Ugly Americains", and "The Red Dodge", whereby travelers get themselves into trouble by behaving and acting in ways that make them "Persona Non-Grata" overseas. It is difficult enough to be culturally sensitive back home. But what are the consequences of being insensitive in a strange foreign land? What do you do? And, if that is not enough for you, how about "Run! Run!", our featured story for this month about an "ugly" American, who, in spite of himself, commits a series of simple cultural faux pas in Kathmandu, contrary to the good advice of a friend - a "beautiful" American this time - which gets out of hand and morphs into a very scary close call involving his worst nightmare and a possible threat to his life. You are going to consider this month what goes into being the "Good, Bad, and the Ugly" of travel. And you will also see some aspects of travel that you may not ever have considered before. And, once again, you will certainly experience vicariously those odd vagaries of travel-life that can await you and can suddenly appear just around the corner at about any turn along the way. ungekürzt.

    Beneath the Mountain: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 801min
    In Luca D'Andrea's atmospheric and brilliant thriller, set in a small mountain community in the majestic Italian Dolomites, an outsider must uncover the truth about a triple murder that has gone unsolved for 30 years. New York City native Jeremiah Salinger is one half of a hot-shot documentary-making team. He and his partner, Mike, made a reality show about roadies that skyrocketed them to fame. But now Salinger's left that all behind, to move with his wife, Annelise, and young daughter, Clara, to the remote part of Italy where Annelise grew up - the Alto Adige. Nestled in the Dolomites, this breathtaking, rural region that was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire remains more Austro than Italian. Locals speak a strange, ancient dialect - Ladino - and root for Germany (against Italy) in the world cup. Annelise's small town - Siebenhoch - is close-knit to say the least and does not take kindly to out-of-towners. When Salinger decides to make a documentary about the mountain rescue group, the mission goes horribly awry, leaving him the only survivor. He blames himself, and so - it seems - does everyone else in Siebenhoch. Spiraling into a deep depression, he begins having terrible, recurrent nightmares. Only his little girl, Clara, can put a smile on his face. But when he takes Clara to the Bletterbach Gorge - a canyon rich in fossil remains - he accidentally overhears a conversation that gives his life renewed focus. In 1985, three students were murdered there, their bodies savaged, limbs severed and strewn by a killer who was never found. Although Salinger knows this is a tightlipped community, one where he is definitely persona non grata, he becomes obsessed with solving this mystery and is convinced it is all that can keep him sane. And as Salinger unearths the long kept secrets of this small town one by one, the terrifying truth is eventually revealed about the horrifying crime that marked an entire village.

    Why Leadership Sucks(tm), Volume 2: The Pain, Pitfalls, and Challenges of Servant Leadership Fundamentals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
    Leadership is a hot topic, as more and more books are available on the subject than ever before. The single keyword leadership offers up more than 640 million search results on Google alone, and via the Internet we can access leadership courses (like mine on Udemy.com) and online information more quickly and easily than ever before. Yet we have a severe lack of leadership in most areas of government, business, and even nonprofit organizations. So why is that? It is a lack of follow-through, plain and simple. This book is about putting what we learn into practice, and that is a hallmark of leadership fundamentals. Whenever we feel frustrated or life seems to be spinning out of control, we need to get back to the basics of why we're living. Is it based on the fundamentals of living a selfless life as a service-minded person? "Life and people aren't out to get you, but your approach to life and approach to people are." We can get so distracted by things in life that we forget about what is seminally true. It is always about the fundamentals in work, life, sports, faith, and relationships. We can easily allow ourselves to become distracted by all kinds of things that really don't matter, and most of the time a return to the fundamentals brings us back into balance and peace in our lives. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1: To serve or not to serve. The choice is indeed a tough one. Part 2: Leggo my ego. Addresses the challenge of needing an ego to lead but having that harnessed so it is not unwieldy. Part 3: The danger of persona non grata. You don't want to be the unwelcome person, do you? Part 4: Fierce competition steamrolls ahead. Organization competition is heating up and shows no signs of slowing. Will you ride the wave or be pulled under by the currents? To discover why servant leadership is frustrating and learn practical principles for your leadership journey, listen t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Miles Anthony Smith.
