Das Vogelhaus

Es schwieg und schwieg, etwas schwieg und da war nichts, worauf man hätte zeigen können. In den Monaten, die du auf der Insel verbracht hattest, hattest du in dir das zähe Fließen deiner eigenen und fremder Trauer erkannt, in der du nach Hilfe riefst vor der Entfremdung von dir selbst, nach Händen riefst, die dich unter Menschen stoßen würden, wo du vergessen könntest. Der bis auf Blut und Schorf gesuchte Schrei wurde stärker und blähte sich auf, sank ein und rieselte aus dem Mund ins Fleisch, kroch und lauerte.

Ship of Fools: How Stupidity and Corruption Sank the Celtic Tiger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 466min

Between 1995 and 2007, the Republic of Ireland was the worldwide model of successful adaptation to economic globalisation. The success story was phenomenal: a doubling of the workforce; a massive growth in exports; a GDP that was substantially above the EU average. Ireland became the world's largest exporter of software and manufactured the world's supply of Viagra. The factors that made it possible for Ireland to become prosperous - progressive social change, solidarity, major state investment in education, and the critical role of the EU - were largely ignored as too sharply at odds with the dominant free-market ideology. The Irish boom was shaped instead into a simplistic moral tale of the little country that discovered low taxes and small government and prospered as a result.There were two big problems. Ireland acquired a hyper-capitalist economy on the back of a corrupt, dysfunctional political system. And the business class saw the influx of wealth as an opportunity to make money out of property. Aided by corrupt planning and funded by poorly regulated banks, an unsustainable property-led boom gradually consumed the Celtic Tiger. This is, as Fintan O'Toole writes, "a good old-fashioned jeremiad about the bastards who got us into this mess". It is an entertaining, passionate story of one of the most ignominious economic reversals in recent history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roger Clark.

Northern Neck Fishing Steamers Go to War

In 1917 eight wooden-hull, steam-powered fishing boats from the Northern Neck of Virginia were "conscripted" into service by the U. S. Navy, equipped with cannons, and sent on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to France, where they patrolled for submarines, swept for mines, and rescued fellow ships and sailors under perilous conditions. WAIT! This is not a fictional tale that has been miscategorized as nonfiction. Although it seems too incredible to be true, it is a factual and amazing little-known piece of history. This is an authentic and exciting account of the small, extensively modified Chesapeake Bay Menhaden fishing boats and their brave crews, who admirably performed hazardous duties in the dangerous waters of France under risky wartime conditions in an operation few people have ever even heard of. This book provides documentation of an actual U. S. Department of the Navy operation that originated simply because the Navy didn't have adequate minesweepers and patrol boats to send to France when the U. S. entered WWI. This book presents the who, what, when, where, how, and why of the massive endeavor. These boats, while rugged in construction, were an average of only 155 feet in length with a 24-foot beam. They were designed for commercial fishing in the Chesapeake Bay and were never intended for ocean crossings or military use. The Norfolk Navy Yard performed nothing less than a miracle in making the extensive modifications necessary for turning the fishboats into warships. Remarkably, those vulnerable boats, designated Squadron Four Atlantic Fleet Patrol, made the risky journey from Boston to Brest, France in just 22 days, arriving safely in September 1917. The boats and crews completed their orders admirably. Only one of the boats sank while in service; however, three of them sank in a storm during a disastrous attempt to return to the United States. Two of the boats that sank belonged to the author's grandfather, Otis W. Douglas. Fascinated by the subject, he found Naval Department records, interesting personal accounts from crew members, 26 pictures of the iconic old, wooden-hulled, coal-fired steamers that were used to fish in the Bay, as well as information about all the boats that comprised the Northern Neck menhaden fishing fleet in 1917. If you like boats, naval exploits, and history, this is the book for you.

When That Great Ship Went Down: The Legal and Political Repercussions of the Loss of RMS Titanic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min

RMS Titanic sank in 1912, a US presidential election year, and in the very first days of the great House of Commons debate on Home Rule for Ireland. The Marconi companies were heroes to the press and the public, who credited them with saving the lives that were saved. JP Morgan, who owned the shipping trust that controlled Titanic's White Star Line, was a major political target for the trust-busters. And members of the British Cabinet, including the Attorney-General who was to direct (and nobble) the Crown's case in the Titanic enquiry, were up to their necks in inside trading in Marconi shares. This is the story of how, in Titanic's loss, 1500 souls were sacrificed to the "settled science" and "scientific consensus" of marine engineering. It is also the story of how the US and British loss enquiries were shaped by party politics, corrupted by corrupt politicians and the Marconi Scandal, tainted by the politics of Irish Home Rule, and - finally - salvaged by Oliver Wendell Holmes and the US Supreme Court, and by Lord Mersey's judgement in the Board of Trade Enquiry and the subsequent International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea. Titanic sank a century ago; but she sails on, the ghost ship of modern law and politics, shaping our world in ways we don't notice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stan Jenson.
