    Summary, Analysis & Review of Lawrence Levy's To Pixar and Beyond by Instaread , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
    To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History is Lawrence Levy's personal account of how he and Steve Jobs turned a struggling animation company into a filmmaking powerhouse. Levy is the former Pixar chief financial officer. When Levy arrived at Pixar in 1995 at the behest of CEO Steve Jobs, the animation company was struggling. Jobs purchased the company in 1986 to be a graphics hardware business, but it had not succeeded in this area. In 1991, he had to sell off Pixar's hardware company. What was left was a computer animation business without a strategic vision. It was locked into a restrictive three-picture deal with Disney that threatened to crush any of Pixar's ambitions to be a successful company in its own right. The deal effectively gave Disney full ownership of Pixar without having to buy the computer animation company. Please note: This is a summary, analysis and review of the book and not the original book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Jorgensen.

    The Lifted Curtain & My Conversion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min, (USK 18)
    The Lifted Curtain and My Conversion are two short erotic classics written by the colourful, aristocratic political fire-brand, esteemed author, and renowned libertine the Comte Gabrel Honore Riquetti de Mirabeau, who spent much of his young adult life in prison at the behest of this father, who disapproved of his son's licentious behaviour. During one particular stretch, Mirabeau decided to put pen to paper, to while away the time and to make the separation from his then paramour more bearable. Pock-marked but boisterous, he never had trouble seducing the ladies, so his two stories are in part based on his own experience. The Lifted Curtain confronts the age old taboo of incest and My Conversion is a humorous but cynical exploration of the sexual appetites of ladies of quality. For 200 years their publication remained clandestine, but they established Mirabeau's reputation as a writer, and in later years he became one of the Revolution's finest oratore. His state funeral lasted three days, and he is buried in the Pantheon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Veronika Hyks.
