The Hotel Years
The hotel that I love like a fatherland is situated in one of the great port cities of Europe, and the heavy gold Antiqua letters in which its banal name is spelled out shining across the roofs of the gently banked houses are in my eye metal flags, metal bannerets that instead of fluttering shine out their greeting.In the 1920s and 30s, Joseph Roth travelled extensively in Europe, leading a peripatetic life living in hotels and writing about the towns through which he passed. Incisive, nostalgic, curious and sharply observed - and collected together here for the first time - his pieces paint a picture of a continent racked by change yet clinging to tradition. From the 'compulsive' exercise regime of the Albanian army, the rickety industry of the new oil capital of Galicia, and 'split and scalped' houses of Tirana forced into modernity, to the individual and idiosyncratic characters that Roth encounters in his hotel stays, these tender and quietly dazzling vignettes form a series of literary postcards written from a bygone world, creeping towards world war.- Shop: buecher

Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of Flags , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
When you see your nation's flag fluttering in the breeze, what do you feel? For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. And still, in the 21st century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN, on the Arab street, from front porches in Texas. They represent the politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob. From the renewed sense of nationalism in China, to troubled identities in Europe and the USA, to the terrifying rise of Islamic State, the world is a confusing place right now and we need to understand the symbols, old and new, that people are rallying round. In nine chapters (covering the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, international flags and flags of terror), Tim Marshall draws on more than 25 years of global reporting experience to reveal the histories, the power and the politics of the symbols that unite us - and divide us. ungekürzt.

The Aspern Papers (BBC Radio 4: Book at Bedtime), Hörbuch, Digital, 95min
A BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime recording of Samuel West reading from the novella The Aspern Papers by Henry James, set against the decaying grandeur of Venice. Originally broadcast 26 April - 4 May 2010. Henry James took as inspiration for this tale the story of a mistress of Byron's who outlived the poet into lonely old age. He transposed the setting to Venice and cast the city he loved as a character in a taut narrative of literary theft and deception. The lure of previously unseen papers relating to the long-dead poet, Jeffrey Aspern, brings one of his literary editors to Venice in the grip of an obsession. He broaches the palazzo of Aspern's ancient and discarded lover, Miss Juliana Bordereau, and deceives her fluttering middle-aged niece, Miss Tina, into believing he wants to lodge with them in order to cultivate the garden - all in his quest to secure the elusive letters and papers. Read by Samuel West. Abridged and produced by Christine Hall. Language: English. Narrator: Samuel West. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/004251/bk_bbcw_004251_sample.mp3.

The Mary Celeste , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
On 5th December 1872, Captain David Reed Morehouse sighted the Mary Celeste, an American half-brig carrying 1,700 barrels of commercial alcohol, apparently calling for help. The fluttering he took to be a distress signal was a ripped, tattered sail; the wheel was unmanned; the master, Captain Briggs; his wife; their two-year-old daughter; and the entire crew had disappeared. Frederick Solly Flood, attorney general of Gibraltar, can see only one possible cause - mutiny and murder. In a tense courtroom, he is determined to prove a dreadful crime has been committed; turning a civil inquiry into a criminal prosecution and allowing stains on the deck - which he knows to be rust - to be passed off as blood. Two compelling narratives are interwoven: As Flood forces the evidence and badgers the witnesses, the voyage itself is brought vividly back to life. But there remains one simple, known fact. Its repercussions have been overlooked by history, but they at last point to the true fate of those aboard the Mary Celeste.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Antony Ferguson.

Interracial Lesbian Submission to Pay the Rent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min, (USK 18)
I wish you would stop moaning and put that tongue to a better use than talking! For a fraction of a second only, Emily paused, then she was fluttering her eyelids, "Yes Mistress." Grinning, Rita swung her legs up onto the bed and reaching out she grasped a handful of her lover's hair, kissing her hard upon the mouth for a moment, sucking her tongue in between her lips, fighting it with her own before she gave a lusty snarl into Emily's face, "You are such a gorgeous little slut aren't you?" "I don't know, I just want to serve you Mistress," came the reply, drawing another lusty chuckle from the pink haired beauty as she laid back and stretched her legs out on the bed, thighs wide. "Put that tongue to work...I need to relax!" "Yes mistress." Emily crawled between the tanned legs of Rita, her fingertips dragging down the woman's pink lace panties before she folded them and placed them at the foot of the bed nicely. ungekürzt.
