The Complete Works of Tacitus: Volume 2: The Annals, Part 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 616min
The Annals, Part 2 picks up in the year A.D. 32 with the increasingly menacing and tyrannical behavior of Tiberius. With hundreds murdered or driven to suicide and many more in exile, Tiberius descends steadily into growing lust and debauchery on his private estate on the isle of Capri. Overseas, Rome is victorious in her struggle with Parthia, and as Tiberius is being smothered to death in A.D. 37 by Macro, peace at last comes to the eastern frontier. The events of the year A.D. 47 open with Claudius as emperor. The machinations of his wife, Messalina, are laid bare, along with her debaucheries. When her mischief finally gets her killed, she is succeeded by Agrippina the Younger in A.D. 49. Her wiles are no less mischievous and she angles to get her son, Nero, in line to be emperor. The reign of Claudius finally comes to a close when he is poisoned by Agrippina amid uprisings in Britain and Germany, and renewed hostility in the east. Tacitus is most famous for his amazing descriptions of the reign of Nero, one of the most ruthless and sadistic monarchs of all time. It is all superbly described in some of the most beautiful and exciting prose ever written. You will hear how Nero corrupted everyone in his reach...and murdered those he could not corrupt. Learn how he had his own mother killed, how he reacted to the great fire that destroyed Rome, and how he pitilessly built his enormous new palace on the charred ruins of the city while everyone around him lived in squalor. Meanwhile, tumultuous events in the provinces are reported in great detail and with penetrating insight. All in all, The Annals are one of the great miracles of historical writing, and place Tacitus on a footing with the greatest historians of his or any other day. This production uses the famous translation by Church and Brodribb, considered the finest in the English language. The Complete Works of Tacitus continues in Volume 3 with The History./ ungekürzt.

Emotional Intelligence Mastery 2.0: A Practical Guide to Improve Success, Overcome Negativity, Anxiety Relief, Analyze People and Yourself: Develop and Implement the Power of Emotional Intelligence! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
Do you want to increase your emotional intelligence and apply it in different situations in life? If yes, then keep reading....Have you ever had a time where you reacted poorly in an emotionally charged situation, and your reaction resulted in a situation that you wish was different? Perhaps you have had a bad day at work, and when you got home, you lashed out at your spouse and children out of frustration when they played a game just a bit too loudly for your taste. Though they were having a blast playing together, they annoyed you, and you said things you regret. As a result, your children went to bed upset with you after calling you a meanie-head and saying they wished you were still at work, and you angered your spouse, who chose to sleep on the couch instead of in bed with you. You may feel as though you are not the person your family deserves due to your inability to deal with emotional situations. You can build your emotional intelligence and influence your ability to read and react to emotional situations. This means that you can improve your EQ (emotional quotient: the measurement of your emotional intelligence), and improve your social skills and relationships, though it will take effort. Imagine if you had a higher EQ in the above situation: You would have come home from work angry, but instead of lashing out at your family, you took a deep breath, recognized that your family was having fun, and went to take a quiet drive around town for 15 minutes to yourself to unwind before returning home and joining in on playtime and your children’s bedtime routines. Instead of them being upset and angry at you, your children told you they love you, told you that you are the best, and went to bed happily. With the help of this book, you will be provided the skills you will need to bolster your EQ and develop the ability to handle social situations with tact. You will be guided through the basics of EQ, provided tests to see where ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Stone.

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days to the Attack , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
A fascinating look at the twelve days leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor—the warnings, clues and missteps—by a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter. In Washington, DC, in late November 1941, admirals compose the most ominous message in Navy history to warn Hawaii of possible danger, but they write it too vaguely. They think precautions are being taken, but never check to see if they are. A key intelligence officer wants more warnings sent, but he is on the losing end of a bureaucratic battle and can’t get the message out. American sleuths have pierced Japan’s most vital diplomatic code, and Washington believes it has a window on the enemy’s soul - but it does not. In a small office at Pearl Harbor, overlooking the battleships at the heart of America’s seafaring power, the Commander of the Pacific Fleet tries to figure out how much danger he really faces. His intelligence unit has lost track of Japan’s biggest aircraft carriers, but assumes they are resting in a port far away. The admiral thinks Pearl is too shallow for torpedoes, so he never puts up a barrier. As he frets, a Japanese spy is counting the warships in the harbor and reporting to Tokyo. There were false assumptions, and racist ones: The Japanese aren’t very good aviators and they don’t have the nerve or the skill to attempt a strike so far from their home. There were misunderstandings, conflicting desires, painful choices. And there was a naval officer who, on his very first mission as captain of his very first ship, did exactly the right thing. His warning could have averted disaster, but his superiors reacted too leisurely. Japanese planes arrived moments later. Twomey’s telescoping of the twelve days leading to the attack unravels the crucial characters and moments, and produces an edge-of-your seat drama with fascinating details about America at this moment in its history. By the end, the reader understands how assumption is the root of disaster, and how ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Holter Graham.

Bondage in a Flash, Volume Four : Rough Domination, Wife Bondage, First Anal Sex and More: Ten Short Tales of BDSM , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min, (USK 18)
TJ Velde is rapidly becoming the go-to author for scorching hot BDSM stories ranging from emotional D/s relationships to hardcore bondage and discipline. In this collection of flash fiction, you’ll find first BDSM experiences, bound wives, rough sex, spanking, orgasm torment, first anal sex and more. It’s hot as hell and it’s just a click away. Have a peek! Frank said, “I think you'll do.” I reacted oddly because I should have felt even more humiliated and more demeaned when he said that. They were the very first words he’d spoken since attaching me to the pole. Instead of being angry and humiliated, though, when he said those words, I felt an odd swell of pride. Pride! What the hell? I was on my knees, completely naked except for the collar, and I kind of straightened my back up a little bit. I felt foolish for being so proud of myself for something so inherently possessive and demeaning, but I couldn't deny that that was how I felt. It was like I was preening for him, and I couldn’t comprehend how in the world I felt so happy about being treated like I was property. “You'll do very nicely, indeed,” he said. God! That was like a vibrator to my clit. I couldn't understand it. It made absolutely no sense but when he stepped forward, tangled his hands in my hair and immediately pushed his cock past my lips and deep into my throat I thought I might cum right then and there. I sucked eagerly. I didn't understand why the situation turned me on the way it did. I couldn't comprehend how I had gone from utter humiliation to sudden arousal and excitement so quickly. It made no sense to me that I should go from feeling dejected to feeling determined to make it the best blowjob he'd ever experienced in his life. But that was all I cared about.

Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity including bondage, domination, group sex, wife submission, spanking, first anal sex, and more. Only mature adults who are legally able to listen to such material and are not offended by explicit content should listen to this story. Have a peek! I was tougher than that. Hell, he had spanked me during one of our sessions and I couldn't sit down for a week afterwards. I didn't say the safe word then. He’d once added weights to nipple clamps so I was actually afraid my nipples would be ripped right off! I didn’t say the safe word then. How the hell was I going to say the safe word just because I felt embarrassed or ashamed? Nothing hurt except my pride and, perhaps, my self-worth. Frank walked around me, looking me up and down. I got the feeling it was the same look a person might give if they were thinking about buying a horse or a dog. The whole thing was so demeaning! Again, I almost said the safe word and, again, the absurdity of doing so without any physical pain seemed to make it a bad idea. I felt humiliated and ashamed and powerless, and even though we’d been kinky many, many times, I had never felt this way. Frank said, “I think you'll do.” I reacted oddly because I should have felt even more humiliated and more demeaned when he said that.

A Short Walk to the Other Side: A Collection of Short Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
A Short Walk to the Other Side is a second short story collection of supernatural, metaphysical, science fiction, and horror stories following "The Small Dark Room of the Soul" by award-winning author Matthew J. Pallamary that examines the shadow side of human nature. Finalist - International Book AwardsWho are we really? What or where are the boundaries between what we believe to be real and what we imagine? Ancient tribal cultures gave equal credence to dreams, visions, and their waking worlds, treating them all as different degrees of one and the same all-encompassing reality. Do we in fact know ourselves or our true nature? How many times have we reacted impulsively, only to regret our actions later, often with the apology, “I’m sorry, I’m not myself today”, or “I don’t know what got into me”. In these moments of intense feeling, if we are not ourselves, then who or what are we? Where do we really live? The fact that the question arises makes the “other” implicit within ourselves. What is this “other”? Duality? Plurality? Divided self? Are we possessed by something other than ourselves, or are we in denial of our other selves because we find their behavior unacceptable? Do we possess them, or do they possess us? This quandary became the theme of an old-time radio show that started with: “Who knows what lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.” How well do we know our shadows as individuals and collectively? Better still, how well do our shadows know us? Regardless of who is “running the show” at any point in space and time, every choice we make can change our life forever, along with the lives and destinies of others. A momentary lapse of attention while driving can cripple, maim, or bring swift and sudden death. One moment of careless passion can leave you responsible for another life or bring the imminent end of your own from any number of ghastly diseases. A brief moment of passionate anger can land ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ethan Fifield. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/133609/bk_acx0_133609_sample.mp3.

The Oil Kings: How the U.S., Iran, and Saudi Arabia Changed the Balance of Power in the Middle East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1186min
Struggling with a recession... European nations at risk of defaulting on their loans... A possible global financial crisis. It happened before, in the 1970s. The Oil Kings is the story of how oil came to dominate U.S. domestic and international affairs. As Richard Nixon fought off Watergate inquiries in 1973, the U.S. economy reacted to an oil shortage initiated by Arab nations in retaliation for American support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli war. The price of oil skyrocketed, causing serious inflation. One man the U.S. could rely on in the Middle East was the Shah of Iran, a loyal ally whose grand ambitions had made him a leading customer for American weapons. Iran sold the U.S. oil; the U.S. sold Iran missiles and fighter jets. But the Shah's economy depended almost entirely on oil, and the U.S. economy could not tolerate annual double-digit increases in the price of this essential commodity. European economies were hit even harder by the soaring oil prices, and several NATO allies were at risk of default on their debt. In 1976, with the U.S. economy in peril, President Gerald Ford, locked in a tight election race, decided he had to find a country that would sell oil to the U.S. more cheaply and break the OPEC monopoly, which the Shah refused to do. On the advice of Treasury Secretary William Simon and against the advice of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Ford made a deal to sell advanced weaponry to the Saudis in exchange for a modest price hike on oil. Ford lost the election, but the deal had lasting consequences. The Shah's economy was destabilized, and disaffected elements in Iran mobilized to overthrow him. The U.S. had embarked on a long relationship with the autocratic Saudi kingdom that continues to this day. Andrew Scott Cooper draws on newly declassified documents and interviews with some key figures of the time to show how Nixon, Ford, Kissinger, the CIA, and the State and Treasury departments - as w ungekürzt.

8 Seconds of Courage: A Soldier's Story from Immigrant to the Medal of Honor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
A story of valor and the making of a hero. Florent Groberg, who grew up in France, emigrated to the US and was the first immigrant in 40 years to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor after he saved many lives by tackling a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. Florent "Flo" Groberg was born in 1983 in the suburbs of Paris. When he was in middle school, his family moved to the US, and Flo became a naturalized citizen in 2001. After attending the University of Maryland, he joined the army in 2008 and deployed to Afghanistan in 2009. He deployed a second time in 2012. In August of that year, Flo was guarding a high-level US-Afghan delegation and noticed someone suspicious: a local man stumbling toward his patrol. Flo reacted quickly and ran to tackle the man - who was wearing a suicide vest - before he could reach the patrol. Four people died in the subsequent explosion, but many others were spared. Flo himself was badly wounded and spent the next three years undergoing surgeries at Walter Reed Medical Center. On November 12, 2015, Captain Groberg was given the nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor - the first immigrant to be so recognized since the Vietnam War. 8 Seconds of Courage tells Flo's story from his childhood in France to his decision to enlist and the grueling training he underwent at US Army Ranger School. Through trial and error, he learned to be a field commander and on the front lines in Afghanistan formed close and lasting bonds with his fellow soldiers. It was this powerful sense of responsibility that compelled him to take his brave action to save lives, even at the risk of his own. Seldom when we hear about the heroism of Medal of Honor recipients do we learn what motivates their actions. Flo Groberg provides that essential insight into his selfless act of valor while honoring his four fallen brothers in arms. 8 Seconds of Courage is a story of heroism, sacrifice, and camaraderie in ungekürzt.

Unless I'm Very Much Mistaken, Hörbuch, Digital, 204min
The voice of motor racing - and the man responsible for introducing millions of viewers to the previously inaccessible world of Formula 1 - tells the story of his incident-packed life. Murray Walker is an institution. When the man who made famous the catchphrase 'Unless I'm very much mistaken... I AM very much mistaken!!!' announced that he was retiring as ITV's Grand Prix commentator at the end of the 2001 season, the media reacted as if the sport itself was losing one of its biggest stars. His reputation for mistakes was the making of Walker. He was the fan who happened to be given the keys to the commentary box - and never wanted to give them back. His high-octane delivery kept viewers on the edge of their seats, while his passion for talking about the sport he loved was matched by an all-encompassing knowledge gained through hours of painstaking research before every race. In fact he's a throwback to another age who managed to survive and indeed prosper from the revolutions in motor racing. Murray writes about his childhood and the influence that his father, British motorcycle champion Graham Walker, had on his career. Failing to match his father's achievements on the track, he made a successful career for himself in advertising which catapulted him to the top of his profession. An offer from the BBC to take over the commentary seat for their F1 broadcasts was manna from heaven for Walker, and it wasn't long before the infamous 'Murrayisms' enlivened a sport which until then had been shrouded in a cloak of unfathomable technical jargon and mind-numbing statistics. He also talks about the biggest changes in the sport over the last 50 years, in particular the safety issues which came to the fore after the tragic death of Ayrton Senna. His partnership with James Hunt behind the microphone is the subject of some hilarious anecdotes, while his views on drivers make for fascinating listening. Language: English.
