The Schopenhauer Cure: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 871min

Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup, eminent psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work - and seeks out Philip Slate, a sex addict whom he failed to help some 20 years earlier. Yet Philip claims to be cured - miraculously transformed by the pessimistic teachings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer - and is himself a philosophical counselor in training. Philip's dour, misanthropic stance compels Julius to invite Philip to join his intensive therapy group in exchange for tutoring on Schopenhauer. But with mere months left, life may be far too short to help Philip or to compete with him for the hearts and minds of the group members. And then again, it might be just long enough. ungekürzt.

Narcissist and his Negativistic Worldview: How the Pessimistic and the Chronically Unhappy Cause Long Term Misery for Others , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min

Many narcissists go through life on autopilot. They spew words of disdain and dissatisfaction everywhere they go. This spewing is often a recording of whatever the negativistic adults around him said when the narcissist was a child. He memorized racial attacks, bullying from the adults to subordinates, movie quotes where one person was bullying another, and offensive language that others used around him. The narcissist uses the slang that his equally harsh friends used when they bullied others, or the nasty words his siblings used to taunt him when he was a youngster. Narcissists hate their own life. They hate that they have never fit in. They hate that they were bullied as youngsters. They hate that they were left behind or abandoned by many. They hate that they got bad grades in school. They hate that they flunked out of college. They hate that members of the opposite sex didn't give them enough attention. They hate that they have a long list of failed relationships, or that they could never get any relationships started at all. Narcissists hate that they can't live up to the expectations of others. Heck, they can't even live up to their own expectations. They hate that their parents are disappointed in them. They hate that they can't sustain meaningful friendships or relationships anywhere they go. They hate that the adults around them always had expectations that were just out of their reach. They hate that they weren't allowed to play football because of a hovering or over-protective parent. They hate that everything wasn't served up to them on a silver platter. ungekürzt.

The Trial , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min

One of the great works of the 20th century, Kafka's The Trial has been read as a study of political power, a pessimistic religious parable, or a crime novel where the accused man is himself the problem. In it, a man wakes up one morning to find himself under arrest for an offence which is never explained. Faced with this ambiguous but threatening situation, Josef K. gradually succumbs to its psychological pressure. One of the iconic figures of modern world literature, Kafka writes about universal problems of guilt, responsibility, and freedom. He offers no solutions, but provokes his readers to arrive at meanings of their own. Mike Mitchell's translation captures Kafka's distinctive style. Based on the best available German text, it includes not only the main text but the chapters Kafka left incomplete. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick.

The Expedition of Humphry Clinker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1033min

Matthew Bramble, a gout-ridden misanthrope, travels Britain with his nephew, niece, spinster sister, and man-servant, the trusty Humphry Clinker. In poor health, Bramble sees the world as one of degeneracy and raucous overcrowding, and will not hesitate to let his companions know his feelings on the matter. Peopled with pimps, drunkards, decadents, and con-men, Humphrey Clinker displays Smollett's ferociously pessimistic view of mankind, and his belief that the luxury of 18th-century English existence was the enemy of sense and sobriety. Presented in the form of letters from six very different characters, and full of joyful puns and double entendres, Humphry Clinker is now recognized as a boisterous and observant masterpiece of English satire. ungekürzt.

Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Hörbuch, Digital, 142min

This audiobook includes an introduction and notes by Michael Irwin, professor of English Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury. Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, "A Pure Woman", infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic. The novel tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability, her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess' relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits, and the hypocrisy of the age. Language: English.

Fighting to Win: And Other Things I Didn't Learn in Sunday School , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min

This audiobook is about spiritual battle for professing Christians. The gloves will come off.Spiritual victory has never been relegated to the personal sphere of the believer. For example, David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, Elijah and the prophets of Baal, Paul at Mars Hill, Jesus and Satan, Jesus and Pilate, to name a few.All of these engagements had broad covenantal and cultural ramifications, and were not limited to the personal behavior and lives of those directly involved in the conflict. Fighting to Win juxtaposes the secular practice of Christianity with the unchanged mandates of God to take the land and all that is in it for the glory of God and of his great Kingdom.In Fighting to Win, Ron presents a how-to guide to move the Christian from a defeatist, pessimistic worldview, to one of long-term victory and optimism, wherein the listener is a full participant. ungekürzt.

A Ghost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 15min

Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a French writer, remembered as a master of the short story form, and as a representative of the naturalist school of writers, who depicted human lives and destinies and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms. Maupassant was a protégé of Gustave Flaubert, and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouements. Maupassant is considered one of the fathers of the modern short story. He delighted in clever plotting, and served as a model for Somerset Maugham and O. Henry in this respect. Taking his cue from Balzac, Maupassant wrote comfortably in both the high-realist and fantatic modes [Wikipedia]. "A Ghost" is an old man's reminiscence of a supernatural event that has haunted him for more than half a century. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phillip J. Mather.
