Threnody: 19th Century Sensibility Proves People Have Not Changed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
Threnody is an archaic word which has its roots in the Greek term, which means to sing a dirge, generally at a funeral or at the loss of a cherished person. In this volume, D. Scott Smith (author of Motivational Listener) provides vision and understanding that allows for comparison between the “good old days” and the present times. The nineteenth century seems so distant and unreal, almost as if there is no connection between the people of that era and ourselves. When listening to this book, you will be surprised at how much we have in common.We gain insight through pre-industrialized eyes when listening to these selected poems by J. G. Holland. He was a 19th-century man with Christian values whose writing is deeply affected by the nearness of mortality in his day.Perhaps the words in this volume will bring hope today and be available to you on your digital bookshelf for future times when life and the news media cause you to shout (as in “Wanted”), “A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands”. The verses you will encounter tell of joy, pain, jealously, romance, enduring love, friendship, and a full range of life’s emotions. Look past the accoutrements of the 19th-century life and instead dwell on the human interactions. Smith chose Threnody as the title to this volume as a nod to the past, an acknowledgment of our present condition, and a trust for a bright future.Threnody reminds us to keep close to those who are important. ungekürzt.

Breakspace: The Ghost Fleet, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
After the battle of Threnody, the Seraphim and her crew are broken. Months of relentless war by the Children, a race of genocidal artificially intelligent life forms bent on taking revenge on their creators, strains every resource available to the Planetary Alliance. The fight runs the spectrum from open combat to countless subtle plots by the Children, and it's all the Alliance can do to stave off utter catastrophe. Grant Stone and his crew are one of the thin lines standing between the Children and their goal. Stretched to their limits and beyond, they find themselves in need of time to rest and repair. For the damaged among them to heal. To make that happen, Grant has to take on a mission with repercussions that could touch every corner of the Alliance. He has no choice - his ship and his people have been pushed as far as they can go. Plunged into a plot further-reaching than he could have imagined, Grant will have to find a way to save them all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andy Harrington.

No-No Boy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 586min
First published in 1956, No-No Boy was virtually ignored by a public eager to put World War II and the Japanese internment behind them. It was not until the mid-1970s that a new generation of Japanese American writers and scholars recognized the novel's importance and popularized it as one of literature's most powerful testaments to the Asian American experience. No-No Boy tells the story of Ichiro Yamada, a fictional version of the real-life "no-no boys". Yamada answered "no" twice in a compulsory government questionnaire as to whether he would serve in the armed forces and swear loyalty to the United States. Unwilling to pledge himself to the country that interned him and his family, Ichiro earns two years in prison and the hostility of his family and community when he returns home to Seattle. As Ozeki writes, Ichiro's "obsessive, tormented" voice subverts Japanese postwar "model-minority" stereotypes, showing a fractured community and one man's "threnody of guilt, rage, and blame as he tries to negotiate his reentry into a shattered world". ungekürzt.

Gitarrenkonzerte
"Julian Bream does everything, it goes without saying... emotional depth is in the second movement of the Arnold, the slow movement - a threnody for Django Reinhardt - most imaginative. This concerto was written for Julian Bream and he plays it magnificently, as do the Melos Ensemble. The recording is first-rate - clear but not at all clinical... The Giuliani demonstrates Bream's technique and musicianship." (Gramophone)- Shop: odax
