    The Arabian Nights
    Few works of literature are as familiar and beloved as The Arabian Nights. Yet few remain also as unknown. In English, The Arabian Nights is a literary work of relatively recent date-the first versions of the tales appeared in English barely two hundred years ago. The tales are accompanied by a preface, a note on the text, and explanatory annotations. "Contexts" presents three of the oldest witnesses to The Arabian Nights in the Arabic tradition, together in English for the first time: an anonymous ninth-century fragment, Al Mas'udi's Muruj al-Dhahab, and Ibn al-Nadim's The Fihrist. Also included are three related works by the nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers Edgar Allan Poe, Marcel Proust, and Taha Husayn. "Criticism" collects eleven wide-ranging essays on The Arabian Nights' central themes by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Josef Horovitz, Jorge Luis Borges, Francesco Gabrieli, Mia Irene Gerhardt, Tzvetan Todorov, Andras Hamori, Heinz Grotzfield, Jerome W. Clinton, Abdelfattah Kilito, and David Pinault. A Chronology of The Arabian Nights and a Selected Bibliography are also included.

    Back to Earth: The Adventures of Azakis and Petri , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
    We were on our way back. Only one of our solar years had passed since we had been forced to leave the planet in haste, but for them, in Earth years, there had been 3,600. What would we find? Nibiru, the 12th planet of our solar system, has an extremely elliptical and retrograde orbit, which is much larger than that of all the others. In fact, it takes approximately 3,600 years to complete one revolution around the sun.  Its inhabitants, seizing the opportunities afforded by this cyclical approach, have been making systematic visits for hundreds of thousands of years, each time influencing the culture, knowledge, technology, and even the very evolution of the human race. Our ancestors have referred to them in many ways, but perhaps the name that best represents them has always been "Gods". Azakis and Petri, two friendly inhabitants of this strange planet on board the Theos spacecraft, are returning to Earth to retrieve a mysterious and precious cargo left hidden during their previous visit. A compelling and amusing story, but one that is full of suspense, with some potentially devastating reinterpretations of historical events. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Les Horovitz.

    I'm Only a Child: Stories of Abuse and Mistreatment in the Denied Childhood of Child Brides , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Child brides sold as objects, with a rite of marriage or a simple exchange of money to people of adult age, suffer real abuse, an act which aids pedophilia. The parties responsible are the families, which oblige their daughters to enter into forced marriages, and the men who "buy" a child: as a wife-slave sexual object.The stories told in this audiobook are true; they took place in Africa, India, Yemen, Niger, Pakistan, Syria, and Mexico, places where, due to poverty, war, famine, it becomes customary for parents to sell their daughters to adult suitors in exchange for money.The psychological and physical effects are devastating for girls torn from childhood and forced into marriage: from serious diseases like HIV, medical conditions caused by teenage pregnancies, psychiatric disorders, through to a high incidence of childbirth related deaths of both mother and baby.The social denouncement aims of the #maipiùsposebambine [no more child brides] inquiry uphold the belief that joint efforts to combat the phenomenon of child marriage will further the development of an awareness by all the stakeholders: family, schools, and governmental institutions.To actively contribute towards solving this serious problem, the author collaborates, through the Osservatorio Onerpo (Onerpo Observatory) of which she is vice president, with the Girls Not Brides organization which, with a significant global partnership program, plans to totally abolish forced marriage by 2030. ungekürzt.

    Sydney Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    Sydney is a good choice for Akashic's first noir anthology set in Australia.... The 14 uniformly strong selections feature familiar subgenre figures: gangsters, ethically compromised cops, and people bent on revenge for the loss of a loved one.... Fans of dark crime fiction will want to seek out other works by these contributors, most of whom will be unfamiliar to American readers. (Publishers Weekly)"The former British penal colony provides fertile ground for dark doings, as these 14 tales demonstrate.... The stories [Dale's] assembled offer ample variety in this cavalcade of crime Down Under." (Kirkus Reviews)Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city.Brand new stories by: Kirsten Tranter, Mandy Sayer, John Dale, Eleanor Limprecht, Mark Dapin, Leigh Redhead, Julie Koh, Peter Polites, Robert Drewe, Tom Gilling, Gabrielle Lord, Philip McLaren, P.M. Newton, and Peter Doyle.From John Dale's introduction to the book:"Nothing lasts in Sydney, especially good fortune: lives are upturned, shops are sold, roads dug up, trees and houses knocked down, premiers discarded, and entire communities relocated in the name of that economic mantra - growth and progress. Just when you think the traffic can't get any worse and the screech of the 747s descending over your roof can't get any louder, along comes a wild electrical storm that batters the buildings and shakes the power lines and washes the garbage off the streets and you stand, sheltered under your broken brolly in the center of Sydney, admiring this big beautiful city.What never changes, though, is the hustle on the street. My father was a detective in the vice squad shortly after the Second World War, and he told stories of busting SP bookies in Paddingto ungekürzt. Language: English.
