Truffle Boy: My Unexpected Journey Through the Exotic Food Underground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 533min
[Ian Purkayastha] has a true, deep expertise in everything he sells - caviar, truffles, fish. He knows the stories that we need to sell the stuff tableside...he can disrupt the entire luxury foods market. (From the foreword by David Chang) Ian Purkayastha is New York City's leading truffle importer and boasts a devoted clientele of top chefs nationwide, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, David Chang, Sean Brock, and David Bouley. But before he was purveying the world's most expensive fungus to the country's most esteemed chefs, Ian was just a food-obsessed teenager in rural Arkansas - a misfit with a peculiar fascination with rare and exotic ingredients. The son of an Indian immigrant father and a Texan mother, Ian learned to forage for wild mushrooms from an uncle in the Ozark hills. Thus began a single-track fixation that led him to learn about the prized but elusive truffle, the king of all fungi. His first taste of truffle at age 15 sparked his improbable yet remarkable adventure through the strange - and often corrupt - business of the exotic food trade. Rife with tales from the hidden underbelly of the elite restaurant scene, Truffle Boy chronicles Ian's high-stakes dealings with a truffle kingpin in Serbia, meth-head foragers in Oregon, crooked businessmen and maniacal chefs in Manhattan, and gypsy truffle hunters in the forests of Hungary and a supreme adventure to find "Gucci mushrooms" in the Himalayan foothills - the land of the gods. He endures harsh failures along the way but rebuilds with tremendous success by selling not just truffles but also caviar, wild mushrooms, rare foraged edibles, Wagyu beef, and other nearly unobtainable ingredients demanded by his Michelin-starred clients. Truffle Boy is a thrilling coming-of-age story and the incredible but true tale of a country kid who grew up to become a force in the world of fine dining.

History of Germany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
Located in the heart of Western Europe, Germany borders the Baltic, the Rhine and the Alps from the north, west and south directions respectively. The east of Germany however, has no natural border which has caused much confusion in the history of Europe. It is a sovereign state and has a federal parliamentary republic in the central-western Europe. The largest city and the capital of Germany is Berlin. Germany is also the second most famous human immigration destination after the United States. The northern parts of Germany have been occupied by the Germanic tribes since the ancient times. A certain region called Germania was recognized to be from before AD 100. At the times of migration the Germanic tribes expanded towards the southern parts of Germany. In the advent of the 10th century the central territories of Germany had formed the Holy Roman Empire. Six centuries later the northern parts of Germany became the hub of the Protestant Reformation. Later in the year 1871 many of the German states united with the Prussians to form the German Empire. It was only after the World War I and the German Revolution which took place from 1918-1919 that the German Empire was succeeded by the Weimar Republic. The institution of a dictatorship in the year 1933 was one of the causes of World War II and organized massacre. After a term of Allied occupation, two states, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, were founded. It was only in the year 1990 that the country was reunited. Germany is a great power today, and has the world's fourth largest economy. It is a global leader in various technological and industrial sectors along with being the world's third largest importer and exporter of goods. Today Germany has a high standard of living and is known to be a developed country with a productive and skilled society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.
