    The Games of God (eBook, ePUB)
    About the book:This is the novel about the historical partnership between Lantin and Mark Jr. and how hapless events unfurl which lead to the break up of this partnership. This fictional novel is about an heir of God, Mark Jr. All his grandfathers were prominent figures in the advancement of the universe and had achieved for themselves the title of God. Mark Jr. was also entitled to do the same. He was always looking forward to impressing his forefathers. While he was attempting to impress his father, by keeping his word to guard a temple, he gets distracted to save an old woman who implores and calls out for him. When he leaves the temple alone, to save the old woman, he finds his archnemesis tricking him. His father reluctantly curses his son for what he had done to live in the harshest forest for his life. The obsequious son obeyed his father. The son asked God to give him a companion with whom he could spend his life. God created another species of creatures, which were named, 'The Manjhanas'. God then gave him the immaculately built king of the Manjhanas to be his permanent companion. A series of events took place in the life of our protagonist before his death.

    Man Up: Surviving Modern Masculinity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
    Jack Urwin's father died just before Jack turned 10. Being male, he never really learned to talk about this with any kind of sincerity. His grief stayed with him through his teens, slowly becoming depression. Now 24 and a journalist whose recent Vice article, A Stiff Upper Lip Is Killing British Men - described as 'fabulous' by Irvine Welsh - became a viral sensation, Urwin explores what it means to be a man now. He traces crises of masculinity from our grandfathers' inability to deal with the horrors of war to the mob mentality of football terraces or Fight Club and the disturbing rise of mental health problems among men today. Smart, funny and friendly, but with a wisdom that belies the author's age, Man Up is the start of an essential conversation for men, exploring why we have perpetuated the myth of masculinity - and how we can challenge it and change it. ungekürzt.

    In March 1941, Virginia Woolf filled her pockets with stones and drowned herself in England's River Ouse. Her body was found three weeks later. What seemed like a tragic ending at the time was, in fact, just the beginning of a mystery.Six decades after Virginia Woolf's death, landscape designer Jo Bellamy has come to Sissinghurst Castle for two reasons: to study the celebrated White Garden created by Woolfs lover Vita Sackville-West and to recover from the terrible wound of her grandfathers unexplained suicide. In the shadow of one of England's most famous castles, Jo makes a shocking find: Woolfs last diary, its first entry dated the day after she allegedly killed herself. If authenticated, Jo's discovery could shatter everything historians believe about Woolf's final hours. But when the Woolf diary is suddenly stolen, Jo's quest to uncover the truth will lead her on a perilous journey into the tumultuous inner life of a literary icon whose connection to the White Garden ultimately proved devastating. ungekürzt.

    Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire: My Lineage Pre-1700 - 1959 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    Every family has a story. And for Angela Fortnum, her maternal family story would begin eight generations before her and reach back to the turn of the 18th century in England - and it is a story that she will tell and continue today. In Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire, author Angela Fortnum shares a well-researched family history of her maternal grandfathers, offering a compelling window into the life and times of her ancestors. This history chronicles the Page family’s shift from agricultural and labourer life to self-employment and small holding, and it also lists the changes in the family’s religious beliefs over time. Angela includes as well a discussion of the richness and diversity of the church and chapel buildings that were linked in some way to her family, each of which tells a story of their own. In the end, the story of the Page family lives on today, as Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire stands as a legacy to Angela and her mother’s family and the great changes they experienced over the centuries. ungekürzt.

    As noted in the Preface, "This is a book of stories (published in 1899) about the Civil War. It is not a history - only a book of stories edited for school and home use. Our aim has not been to crowd the mind with facts, but to arouse in the younger generation a lively interest in the brave men who fought in the war for the Union. We have tried to present a series of pictures of our national life during the late war, around which a fuller knowledge of the course of its history may gather. These stories are designed to interest as well as to instruct young people, and to excite in their minds a keen desire to know more of the noble deeds of their fathers and grandfathers, who sacrificed so much during this momentous period of our country’s history."You will enjoy these 42 stirring stories of soldiers, spies, generals, and everyday people - young and old.

    'Youth' and 'Heart of Darkness' , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
    These two famous stories by Joseph Conrad are both told by the same narrator - Marlow. As the main character in Youth, Marlow tells the story of his first voyage to the East as second mate on board the Judea. In the story, the 20-year-old Marlow is contrasted with the 60-year-old skipper and the grandfatherly third mate. Marlow states: "I felt like a small boy between two grandfathers." Heart of Darkness features Marlow 22 years later and deals with maturity and old age. This highly symbolic story follows Marlow as he recounts his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. Marlow was employed to transport ivory downriver, but his more pressing assignment was to return another trader, Kurtz, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz had an unsavory reputation throughout the region. The last sentences in the story, including Kurtz's words, "The Horror, The Horror," are among the most famous in English literature. ungekürzt.

    Did You Really Shoot the Television?: A Family Fable , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 685min
    The author is the son of broadcaster and adventurer Macdonald Hastings, and journalist and gardening writer Anne Scott-James. Max’s father roamed the world for newspapers and as a presenter for BBC TV’s legendary 'Tonight' programme, while his mother edited 'Harper’s Bazaar', became a famous columnist and wrote bestselling gardening books. One of Max’s grandfathers was a literary editor, while the other wrote plays and essays. His great-uncle was an African hunter who wrote poetry and became one of Max’s heroes. In this audiobook, the author brings together this remarkable cast of forebears - with guest appearances by a host of celebrities such as Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad and John Betjeman. By turns moving, dramatic and comic, the book portrays Max’s own childhood fraught with rows and explosions, in which the sudden death of a television set was only one highlight, and helps to explain why Max Hastings, whose family has produced more than 80 books over three generations, felt bound to follow their path of high adventure and popular journalism. ungekürzt.
