Immortal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 928min

George Best is considered the greatest footballer of our time. No other imposed himself so completely on to the romantic imagination. No other was so emblematic of the era during which he flourished. And no other will ever be as memorable as George Best. On the field Best's skills were sublime and almost other-worldly. Off it, he had a magnetic appeal. He was treated like a pop icon and a pin-up; a fashion-model and a sex-symbol. Every man envied him and every woman adored him. To mark the 50th anniversary of his debut for Manchester United, Duncan Hamilton examines Best's crowded life and premature death. But most importantly, Hamilton presents Best at his glorious peak - the precocious goals, the labyrinthine runs, the poise and balletic balance and the body swerves. This is George Best: footballing immortal. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Telfer. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/001609/bk_rhuk_001609_sample.mp3.

Atlas of the Human Heart: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min

Like Jack Kerouac’s intrepid little sister, Ariel Gore spins the spirited story of a vulnerable drifter who takes refuge in fate and the shadowy recesses of a string of glittering, broken relationships. With just a few pennies and her I Ching, a change of clothes and a one-way ticket to Hong Kong, a perceptive, searching 16-year-old Gore makes her way from the sterile suffocation of the Silicon Valley through the labyrinthine customs of Cold-War China, wanders through bustling, electric Kathmandu, and hunkers down in an icy London squat with a prostitute and a boyfriend on the dole. Yet it is in the calm, verdant landscape of rural Italy where, pregnant and penniless, 19-year-old Gore’s adventure truly begins. An illuminating glimpse into the boldly political Gore - creator of HipMama.com and Hip Mama magazine - this unflinching memoir offers a poignant exploration of the meaning of home and surveys the frontiers of both land and heart. ungekürzt.

Four Lesser-Known Masonic Essays: Foundations of Freemasonry Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min

A collection of four essays by noted Masonic scholar Frank C. Higgins. The first explores the labyrinthine paths of solutions that attempt to define the exact character of the "riddle of the ages" that is known as Freemasonry, as it has survived throughout history, in multiple cultures. In his second essay, "Masonic Archeology", the author picks up where he left off in the first, exploring symbolic clues left behind, across the passage of time, in cultural monuments around the world. In the third essay, Higgins delves into the practice of Masonic initiation, itself. He examines several symbolic elements of our rituals, ranging from the preparation of the candidate, to the removal of metal prior to initiation, to the steps, as well as more subtle and spiritual aspects. Lastly, the author explores the lost Kabbalistic symbolism of the Tetragrammaton, as it is hidden in plain view of the candidate, in the form of the two ashlars, in the East of the lodge room. ungekürzt.

Sargent's Women: Four Lives Behind the Canvas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 632min

With unprecedented access to newly discovered sources, Donna M. Lucey illuminates the lives of four extraordinary women painted by the iconic high-society portraitist John Singer Sargent. With uncanny clairvoyance, Sargent's portraits hint at the mysteries, passions, and tragedies that unfolded in his subjects' lives. Sequestered in a fantasy-land castle in the remote Rocky Mountains, Elsie Palmer carried on a labyrinthine love life; Elizabeth Chanler stepped into a maze of infidelity with her best friend's husband; as the veiled image of Sally Fairchild - beautiful, commanding, and poison-tongued - emerged on Sargent's canvas, the power of his artistry lured her sister Lucia into an ill-fated life in art; shrewd, iron-willed Isabella Stewart Gardner collected both art and young men. Born to unimaginable wealth, these women lived on an operatic scale, and their letters and diaries create a rich depiction of the Gilded Age and the acclaimed but secretive painter whose canvases defined the era. ungekürzt.

The Great Ivy League Nude Posture Photo Scandal: New York Times Magazine, January 15, 1995 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min

One afternoon in the late 1970s, deep in the labyrinthine interior of a massive Gothic tower in New Haven, an unsuspecting employee of Yale University opened a long-locked room in the Payne Whitney Gymnasium and stumbled upon something shocking and disturbing. Shocking, because what he found was an enormous cache of nude photographs, thousands and thousands of photographs of young men in front, side, and rear poses. Disturbing, because on closer inspection the photos looked like the record of a bizarre body-piercing ritual: sticking out from the spine of each and every body was a row of sharp metal pins. In "The Great Ivy League Nude Posture Scandal", Ron Rosenbaum embarks on a quest for the lost nude "posture photos", and through his reporting finds both a scandal and an extreme example of academic folly that bares sinister eugenic origins. "The Great Ivy League Nude Posture Scandal" was originally published in the New York Times Magazine, January 15, 1995. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: L. J. Ganser.
