    Light Come Shining: The Transformations of Bob Dylan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    Bob Dylan is the prince of self-reinvention and deflection. Whether it's the folkies of Greenwich Village, the student movement of the 1960s and 1970s, born-again Christians, the Chabad Lubavitch community, or English department postmodernists, specific intellectual and sociopolitical groups have repeatedly claimed Bob Dylan as their spokesperson. But in the words of filmmaker Todd Haynes, who cast six actors to depict different facets of Dylan's life and artistic personae in his 2009 film I'm Not There, "The minute you try to grab hold of Dylan, he's no longer where he was." In Light Come Shining, writer Andrew McCarron uses psychological tools to examine three major turning points - or transformations - in Bob Dylan's life: the aftermath of his 1966 motorcycle "accident", his born-again conversion in 1978, and his recommitment to songwriting and performing in 1987. With fascinating insight, McCarron reveals how a common script undergirds Dylan's self-explanations of these changes; and, at the heart of this script, illuminates a fascinating story of spiritual death and rebirth that has captivated us all for generations. ungekürzt.

    Free Women, Free Men: Sex, Gender, Feminism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 678min
    From the fiery intellectual provocateur - and one of our most fearless advocates of gender equality - a brilliant, urgent essay collection that both celebrates modern feminism and challenges us to build an alliance of strong women and strong men. Ever since the release of her seminal first book, Sexual Personae, Camille Paglia has remained one of feminism's most outspoken, independent, and searingly intelligent voices. Now, for the first time, her best essays on the subject are gathered together in one concise volume. Whether she's calling for equal opportunity for American women (years before the founding of the National Organization for Women), championing a more discerning standard of beauty that goes beyond plastic surgery's quest for eternal youth, lauding the liberating force of rock and roll, or demanding free and unfettered speech on university campuses and beyond, Paglia can always be counted on to get to the heart of matters large and small. At once illuminating, witty, and inspiring, these essays are essential listening that affirm the power of men and women and what we can accomplish together. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Camille Paglia. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/004988/bk_rand_004988_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Der Geist der Romantik
    Ein Jahr nach der Veröffentlichung seines berühmten Gedichtbandes Personae publiziert der 25-jährige Ezra Pound The Spirit of Romance - eine zwischen literaturwissenschaftlicher Analyse und poetologischer Selbstvergewisserung angesiedelte Abhandlung über mittelalterliche Epen, französische Troubadour-Lyrik und besonders Dantes Commedia.Die Schrift geht den bekannteren theoretischen Abhandlungen Pound wie How to read und dem ABC of Reading um über 20 Jahre voraus und übertrifft diese dabei nicht nur an Umfang, sondern bildet zugleich den Grundstock seiner dichtungstheoretischen Arbeiten. In der provenzialischen Dichtung sieht Pound überzeitliche Frische guter Dichtung versinnbildlicht, verlangt es schöpferisch aufzugreifen und zur ästhetischen Vision zu formen - to make it new, wie sein Wahlspruch lautet.In Nachdichtungen, Paraphrasen und minuziösen Analysen wird ein Panorama der romantischen Dichtungstradition entfaltet - Sehnsucht, Suche und Positionierung eines jungen Poeten, der in schöpferischer und sprachmoderner Anknüpfung an diese romantischen Traditionslinien ein monumentales Werk schuf, das die angloamerikanische Dichtung erneuerte und u.a. James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams und Hilda Doolittle beeinflusste.

    A Voice That Could Stir an Army: Fannie Lou Hamer and the Rhetoric of the Black Freedom Movement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 780min
    A sharecropper, a warrior, and a truth-telling prophet, Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) stands as a powerful symbol not only of the 1960s Black freedom movement, but also of the enduring human struggle against oppression. A Voice That Could Stir an Army is a rhetorical biography that tells the story of Hamer's life by focusing on how she employed symbols - images, words, and even material objects such as the ballot, food, and clothing - to construct persuasive public personae, to influence audiences, and to effect social change. Drawing upon dozens of newly recovered Hamer texts and recent interviews with Hamer's friends, family, and fellow activists, Maegan Parker Brooks moves chronologically through Hamer's life. Brooks recounts Hamer's early influences, her intersection with the Black freedom movement, and her rise to prominence at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Brooks also considers Hamer's lesser-known contributions to the fight against poverty and to feminist politics before analyzing how Hamer is remembered posthumously. The book concludes by emphasizing what remains rhetorical about Hamer's biography, using the 2012 statue and museum dedication in Hamer's hometown of Ruleville, Mississippi, to examine the larger social, political, and historiographical implications of her legacy.  ungekürzt.

To protect his reputation and his family, Duncan keeps the boy by his side, yet he also needs to campaign for reelection.Can he manage all three without sacrificing his family or his office?Robert D. Knable says: "David Hagerty's novel is the third in a trilogy of crime fiction for the thinking person. Each setting is painted in rich detail to create a vivid scene. Each scene is crucial to telling the story. Characters often have back stories, leaving the reader to ponder the complexities of their personae, the most complex persona being that of Duncan Cochrane, his tragic protagonist. Yes, this is a page turner, but there is much to be gleaned from each page."Evolved Publishing presents the third book in the series detailing Duncan Cochrane’s rise to prominence and the personal cost of his public ambitions. ungekürzt.

    Miles & Miles: A Lifetime of Travel in Asia and Latin America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
    Filled with compelling true stories bursting with real-life charismatic dramatis personae, this beautiful, imaginative book is entirely fresh and genuinely thrilling. Miles is a natural-born traveller whose wanderlust adventures are illustrated by powerful themes as tensions mount and contrasting stories unfold. Miles & Miles is split into two eras. "On the Road" represents the globe-trotting years of 1973 to 1981 when Miles was a wide-eyed, curious young man, hungry for new experiences. He begins with an overland journey from England to Australia and back again followed by a spell as an expedition driver in the Near East; thereafter, his roaming moves on through the Soviet Union to the Far East.In-between these two eras, Miles pursues a career. but once this activity takes him overseas, he reconnects with the world at large, and the second era called "On Assignment" is underway. Although cushioned by an executive lifestyle, the real soul and spirit of a now seasoned traveller remains as he journeys into Latin America, China, and Asia from 1998 to 2006, the events of which shape the remainder of his life. A wonderful travel novel. ungekürzt.
