The Trial [Tantor Audio] , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min

First published in 1925, The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence and a fascinating exploration of the universal issues of justice, power, freedom, and isolation. ungekürzt.

The Wisdom of Life, Counsels and Maxims , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min

'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims. This is, says his translator, T. Bailey Saunders, because his theories were based on observation and experience - 'interpreting the world as it is'. In The Wisdom of Life, Schopenhauer considers eudemonology (the science of happiness) - 'the art of ordering our lives so as to obtain the greatest possible amount of pleasure and success'. He begins by dividing 'differences in the human lot' into three: what a man is in the sense of personality; what a man has in terms of property and possessions; and how a man stands in terms of the estimation of others. In the course of the book, he expands on these divisions. In Counsels and Maxims, he develops the theme of eudemonology by advising that it is best to replace the pursuit of pleasure and happiness with a more measured approach based on the avoidance of pain and suffering. However, his views are not as negative and pessimistic as this may seem, not least because he was the first major Western philosopher to be influenced by Eastern thought, notably Buddhism, which he acknowledges. In his exposition, Schopenhauer draws on numerous sources as varied as Plato and Horace, Goethe, Shakespeare, Silesius and, of course, his own major work The World as Will and Representation (1818). Both The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims first appeared (under the collective heading of Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life) in his co ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Rintoul.

How to Profit from Formula Plans in the Stock Market , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 179min

What, exactly, does a formula do? This question will be answered in considerable detail in later sections of this book, but a summary of a formula's usefulness would include two main functions it fulfills.First, over a full stock market cycle, it will improve your investment profits without the application of any thought on your part. As is well known, there are many investors who do not believe that the market will ever go through a full cycle again - that the direction of the market is in a permanently upward movement, except for temporary, minor dips. It might be worthwhile to point out - without seeming to be pessimistic - that there are some good arguments against an indefinite continuation of bull markets. ungekürzt. Language: English.
