This clever short story follows a very lazy man who had the gift of turning most everything to his advantage. Most, that is until someone borrows his gift of deceit and turns the proverbial tables.

    The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in 8 Fits" is usually thought of as a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) in 1874, when he was 42 years old. It describes with infinite humour the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature. The poem borrows occasionally from Carroll's short poem "Jabberwocky" in "Through the Looking Glass" (especially the poem's creatures and portmanteau words), but it is a stand-alone work, first published in 1876 by Macmillan. The illustrations were by Henry Holiday. Language: English. Narrator: Shawn Craig Smith. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/lind/001557/bk_lind_001557_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Not only are we "taxed" without "real" representation, we are "surveilled," and "monitored" without probable cause, in direct violation of the Bill of Rights. King George could only dream of possessing the power that our current leaders have over us today, all in the name of "patriotism," and the prevention of "terrorism." But who are the real "terrorists?" Who wields the heavy "stick" against you more effectively, some dirty third-world thug in a cave half a world away, or "Big Brother," who reads your emails, tracks your library borrows and video rentals, and even tells you what name you may have? ungekürzt.

    In Shakespeare's most controversial play, the opposing values of justice and mercy must be resolved. Antonio promises money to help his friend Bassanio woo Portia. He borrows the sum needed from the cruel Shylock, but there will be a dreadful penalty if the loan is not repaid. The golden world of Portia's Belmont calls forth some of Shakespeare's most lyrical love poetry. But the dark shadow of Shylock is never far from the heart of this brilliant comedy as it moves toward its courtroom climax. Portia is played by Hadyn Gwynne and Shylock by Trevor Peacock. Julian Rhind-Tutt is Bassanio, and Bill Nighy is Antonio. Language: English. Narrator: Trevor Peacock, Bill Nighy, Haydn Gwynne, Julian Rhind-Tutt.
