    A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance Portrait of an Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 696min
    From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth, the Renaissance. The latter was a dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history's greatest poets, philosophers, and painters, as well as some of its most spectacular villains. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Histories of the Kings of Britain: King Arthur , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 125min
    This may rightly be considered one of the first published sources of the King Arthur legend. The translation by Sebastian Evans of this selection of Geoffrey of Monmouth's chronicle of ancient British kings differs in several respects from more popular versions of Arthurian tales published centuries later. Notably absent here are the Round Table of knights, the Holy Grail, Guenevere's affair with Sir Lancelot, and the Lady of the Lake. In their place is a pseudohistorical account of Arthur's role in British wars against Saxons and Romans - not a work of chivalrous knights in shining suits of armor encountering maidens and monsters, but rather an attempt to forge a national epic for the British people. ungekürzt.

    The Misplaced Miss Eloise (School of Charm, #8) (eBook, ePUB)
    Everyone agrees Miss Eloise will make the perfect bride… until she runs away from her own wedding. And straight into the arms of an unsuspecting rake. There was no plan involved. Eloise fled in a moment of sheer panic. If she'd given it any thought at all, her plan wouldn't have entailed breaking into the home of the infamous Viscount Conrad. And she certainly wouldn't have been caught. In her defense, the vexing viscount was supposed to be away. It wasn't as though she'd intended to involve him in her escape. Viscount Conrad might be her brother's friend, but he's no knight in shining armor. More like a rogue in tarnished steel. But he's a wealthy rogue, with the means to help her find freedom abroad. And he would, she decided. Whether he liked it or not. But along her journey to freedom, she discovers he's more than he lets on. He can be charming, for one. And surprisingly chivalrous. Though the viscount claims he's no thief who

    Don Quixote (Adapted for Modern Listeners), Hörbuch, Digital, 279min
    Quixotic is a word that the dictionary defines as "extravagantly chivalrous or romantic; visionary...." and that is a fitting definition, indeed, for this charming retelling of Don Quixote, the 17th-century Spanish classic by Miguel de Cervantes, now updated for the modern listener. The gallant and fragile Quixote will touch listeners, as will his faithful squire Sancho Panza and the tragically beautiful heroine of the gentle Don’s chivalries, the fair Dulcinea. Don Quixote is rightfully noted to "....move to pity rather than ridicule, and to tears as well as laughter. And herein lies its chief claim to greatness - that it seems to have been written not for one country nor for one age alone, but to give delight to all humankind." Language: English. Narrator: Johnny Heller. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hove/000587/bk_hove_000587_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
