    The Widow's Maestro , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    Wishing for change....Five years of widowhood and the imminent marriage of her son as well as her daughter nearing college age have left Josephine Prescott at loose ends. When a golden-haired rogue, 13 years her junior, propositions her, she immediately dismisses him. She’s a proper Victorian lady after all, yet a lady can only protest so much. Playing for pleasure....Benedict Fitzgerald, talented pianist and maestro, wants a new lover and Josephine is ripe for seduction. The age difference intrigues him as does her willingness for sexual adventure, and as the relationship deepens, it plays out like the notes in a beautiful waltz. Thwarted by circumstance....Their busy lives don’t lead to the scandalous liaison either of them envisioned, and Benedict doesn't count on being so captivated by Josie, or that the stunning widow would embody his musical muse. Stolen moments together, even quicker sexual trysts don’t satisfy. They both want more, but gossip and familial interests oppose their possible match. Bound by love....Will their relationship end in a discordant disaster or culminate as a pleasing symphony? Only they can decide.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anneliese Rennie. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/143389/bk_acx0_143389_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    On the Shortness of Life, On the Happy Life, and Other Essays: Essays, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min
    As former tutor and adviser to Emperor Nero, philosopher and statesman Seneca was acutely aware of how short life can be - his own life was cut short when the emperor ordered him to commit suicide (for alleged involvement in a conspiracy). And Seneca proved true to his words - his lifelong avowal to Stoicism enabled him to conduct himself with dignity to the end. During his rich and busy life, Seneca wrote a series of essays that have advised and enriched the lives of generations down to the present day. This collection contains five of the key essays - 'On the Shortness of Life', 'On the Happy Life', 'On the Tranquil Mind', 'On Providence' and 'On the Firmness of the Wise Person' - and they are replete with observations to remember. 'Those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear for the future have a life that is very brief and troubled,' Seneca warns. 'You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals.' 'As long as we wander at random, not following any guide except the shouts and discordant clamours of those who invite us to proceed in different directions, our short life will be wasted in useless roamings.' Clarity, steadfastness and true enjoyment are his watchwords. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Cameron Stewart.

    O My America!: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
    A delightfully funny and moving novel about the singular life of a cantankerous Jewish-American writer and anarchist troublemaker, as remembered by his daughter. In 1972, sixty-four-year-old Ezra Slavin's heart gives out at an anti-war rally. A contentious and irascible Jewish-American writer, anarchist, and inadvertent guru to discontented youth, he leaves behind a large extended family of ex-wives, lovers, and children, most of whom had cut all ties with the infuriating intellectual provocateur years earlier. Out of the entire family, only one daughter, Merry, a journalist, can remember her father with her own critical, conflicted understanding, a saddened sympathy approaching love. As the day of his memorial approaches, she attempts to make sense of the puzzle of Ezra's life before all of its disparate, discordant elements come crashing together at the service. The award-winning author of Other People's Lives, Johanna Kaplan creates a vivid cast of unforgettable characters who reveal the disparity between Ezra's long-suffering, neglected family, his admiring friends, and the youthful hangers-on - and, most notably, in the outrageously enigmatic Ezra himself. At once hilarious and poignant, O My America! offers a fascinating evocation of a time and place in America, a satiric history of the immigrant Jewish experience, and a wonderful portrait of an exasperating yet endearing anti-hero pursuing his unique vision of the American dream. ungekürzt.

    The Story of Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 756min
    Accompanies BBC2's major new TV series and The Story of Music in 50 Pieces on Radio 3Music is an intrinsic part of everyday life, and yet the history of its development from single notes to multi-layered orchestration can seem bewilderingly specialised and complex. In his dynamic tour through 40,000 years of music, from prehistoric instruments to modern-day pop, Howard Goodall does away with stuffy biographies, unhelpful labels and tired terminology. Instead he leads us through the story of music as it happened, idea by idea, so that each musical innovation – harmony, notation, sung theatre, the orchestra, dance music, recording, broadcasting – strikes us with its original force. He focuses on what changed when and why, picking out the discoveries that revolutionised man-made sound and bringing to life musical visionaries from the little-known Pérotin to the colossus of Wagner. Along the way, he also gives refreshingly clear descriptions of what music is and how it works: what scales are all about, why some chords sound discordant and what all post-war pop songs have in common. The story of music is the story of our urge to invent, connect, rebel – and entertain. Howard Goodall’s beautifully clear and compelling account is both a hymn to human endeavour and a groundbreaking map of our musical journey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Howard Goodall.

    It's in His Kiss
    A New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Hyacinth Bridgerton, in the seventh of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. HYACINTH'S STORY Meet Our Hero . . . Gareth St. Clair is in a bind. His father, who detests him, is determined to beggar the St. Clair estates and ruin his inheritance. Gareth's sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past . . . and the key to his future. The problem is—it's written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word. Meet Our Heroine . . . All the ton agreed: there was no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. She's fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, probably best in small doses. But there's something about her—something charming and vexing—that grabs him and won't quite let go . . . Meet Poor Mr. Mozart . . . Or don't. But rest assured, he's spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual—and annually discordant—Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth's every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. But as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary, but in each other . . . and that there is nothing as simple—or as complicated—as a single, perfect kiss.

    Get Over It!: Thought Therapy for Healing the Hard Stuff , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
    Today - as repeated attempts to “fix ourselves and our lives” fail - many of us face unprecedented fears about the future, struggle with unspeakable life tragedies, and sink under the belief that certain lives do not matter in our society. Others confront our epidemic of anxiety with fierce resistance, or “the fight to be right”, criticizing anyone and everyone just to end up stuck. In the face of such pervasive human suffering, New York Times best-selling author and legendary life coach Iyanla Vanzant challenges us: What if it’s not them - what if it’s you? What if you need to “get over it” - and get over yourself? Because no matter how much we would like to blame people and circumstances beyond our control, the truth is staggeringly simple: anything and everything we experience is a function of what and how we think. In Get Over It! Iyanla offers a unique spiritual technology called “thought therapy”, a process that harnesses proven spiritual tools with the science of neuroplasticity. The 42 prayers and affirmations, and complementary energy-clearing tools at the heart of the thought therapy process are designed to neutralize and eliminate the unconscious, unproductive, soul-destroying dominant negative thought patterns (DNTPs) and discordant emotional energies, allowing you to get to the root cause of your personal suffering, and make life-affirming choices. If you’re ready to break free of your ego’s resistance and willing to face yourself, willing to change, and willing to heal and grow - then now’s the time to Get Over It! ungekürzt.

    Daniel Webster: The Life and Legacy of One of America's Most Famous Senators and Orators , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood! Let their last feeble and lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the republic... not a stripe erased or polluted, nor a single star obscured, bearing for its motto, no such miserable interrogatory as 'What is all this worth?' nor those other words of delusion and folly, 'Liberty first and Union afterwards'; but everywhere, spread all over in characters of living light, blazing on all its ample folds, as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole heavens, that other sentiment, dear to every true American heart, - Liberty and Union, now and for ever, one and inseparable! - Daniel Webster In a modern era that Americans often view wearily as being too partisan, elections often bring the same questions. Many look back nostalgically to earlier centuries in which it's assumed America had great statesmen, which is understandable in light of increasingly hostile political rhetoric that seems to be more aimed at dividing the country than uniting it. Of course, more serious historians analyze whether these elusive statesmen actually ever existed, and whether there was truly a time when politicians didn't engage in political rancor. It is impossible for any person, politician or not, to be completely pure of heart, but Daniel Webster certainly showed again and again throughout his career that he considered certain principles worth sacrificing nearly everything for. ungekürzt.

    Divine Adjustment: Love Is the Key to Every Situation in Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min
    Love is the key to every situation in life. There is an ever-present principle of perfection which, when co-operated with, brings our own personal life into a state of order. There is, beneath the surface of things, an inner harmony into which we can enter, and with which we can become at one. This is the inner secret of all true religions - to show people how to find this interior order and harmony, and to become adjusted to them and at one with them. Many today are finding their life discordant: Nothing goes smoothly, everywhere they go they find trouble, and everything they do is done with strain and friction. The cause of all this disharmony is that they are out of adjustment with the principle of order; they are not working in agreement with the laws which govern their being - they are not thinking and living in accord with the interior harmony which is beneath the surface of things. They all desire that their outward life should be adjusted and harmonized, but before this can become possible, they must themselves become inwardly adjusted to the laws and principles of life. Infinite wisdom is always ready and willing to lead us into the way of order and peace. Infinite love forever calls us to enter the inner harmony which is the reality. Also, all the experiences of life have the same object in view; to bring us into a state of divine adjustment. The object of this audiobook is to help people to find their way by an understanding of life and the laws and principles which govern it. Henry Thomas Hamblin ungekürzt. Language: English.
