    The Dream of Life: A Novel Based on the Life of Federico Fellini (eBook, ePUB)
    Too young to hear the drum beat of a world preparing for war, little Federico daydreamed on the shores of Italy's Adriatic Sea. At night the boy soared over his provincial town, his head swimming with fantastical visions unconstrained by earthly boundaries and limitations. As he came of age, Federico Fellini found his soul in the heart of Rome. Through his work as a caricaturist and journalist he played a leading role in the city's avant-garde scene and soon found his inspiration behind the film camera. Fellini held tight to the world of childhood, imagination, and the dream state. His ability to capture the frailty and wonder of what it is to be human and to find irony, humor, and beauty in the life of postwar Italy earned him four best Foreign Language Oscars. Film directors worldwide study his craft in neo-realist masterpieces such as I Vitellonni, La Strada, La Dolce Vita, and 8 1/2-the magic of which gave birth to the well-familiar addition to our lexicon: Felliniesque.

    This is the full story of the unstoppable rise of Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig – and how they have transformed an ordinary programme about cars into one of the most famous and best-loved TV programmes of the 21st century.

The addition of co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May completed the Top Gear dream team and ratings soared asviewers tuned in to see the latest Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, arguments over the Cool Wall and Power Laps by the mysterious Stig.

    Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1216min
    What is autism: a devastating developmental condition, a lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth it is all of these things and more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Following on from his groundbreaking article 'The Geek Syndrome', Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years. Going back to the earliest autism research and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle while casting light on the growing movement of 'neurodiversity' and mapping out a path towards a more humane world for people with learning differences. ungekürzt.

    Menage: Climax Rush , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min, (USK 18)
    She should have slammed the door shut right then, ending the strange encounter, but she didn't. Her arm simply would not respond to logic. Instead, Madison took a step backward, unblocking the doorway in the process. Michael looked at her again, staring into her eyes as if he were trying to read something there. And it seemed he found his answer, taking a step forward to close the distance. Madison took another step back, and then another, and the two men who had been outside her door followed and now stood in her room. The blond-haired stranger reached behind him, finding the door handle easily. Ever so slowly, he closed the door, giving Madison every opportunity to change her mind, to object, to realize how absolutely crazy this was. But, she didn't object, and the moment she heard the door latch closed her arousal level soared to new heights... Warning - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is not suitable for all ages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jodi Hockinson.

    Enough: Discovering Joy through Simplicity and Generosity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min
    Money has great power in our lives. Used wisely, it is one key to accomplishing our goals, providing for our needs, and fulfilling our life purpose. In recent years, many of us ignored the wisdom of the past when it came to managing and spending our money. Credit card debt soared, savings rates plummeted, and our home equity became something to be tapped into and spent rather than a source of security in retirement. We felt an insatiable desire for more. And we found ourselves spending tomorrow's money today in order to have what we hoped would satisfy. The result of all of this was not greater happiness and satisfaction, but greater stress and anxiety. Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bible's wisdom when it comes to prudent financial practices. In these pages are found the keys to experiencing contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and generosity. This book could change your life, by changing your relationship with money. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.

    Brett Whiteley: Art, Life and the Other Thing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 805min
    When he died in 1992, Brett Whiteley left behind decades of ceaseless activity - some works bound to a particular place or time, others that are masterpieces of light and line. Whiteley had arrived in Europe in 1960 determined to make an impression. Before long he was the youngest artist to have work acquired by the Tate. With his wife, Wendy, and daughter, Arkie, Whiteley then immersed himself in bohemian New York. But within two years he fled, having failed to break through. Back in Sydney, he soon became Australia's most celebrated artist. He won the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes in the same year - and his prices soared, as did his fame. Among his friends were Francis Bacon and Patrick White, Billy Connolly and Dire Straits. Yet addiction was taking its toll: Whiteley struggled in vain to separate his talent from his disease, and an inglorious end approached. Written with unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, this dazzling biography reveals for the first time the full portrait of a mercurial artist. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Seymour.

    100 Quotes by Victor Hugo: Great Writers and Their Inspiring Thoughts, Hörbuch, Digital, 31min
    Victor Hugo is one of the best-known French writers, and is part of the greatest literary figures of all time. His poetry made him famous very early, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest lyric poets when he was only 20 years old. He was also a novelist and a dramatist, and furthered the cause of Romanticism, this exalted artistic movement, which toyed with Sublime and soared on the winds of emotion. The high-achieving poet was also actively involved in politics, defending the poor until his last breath; he was even forced into exile, from which he kept on writing, beloved by the masses he stood up for. When he died, it was an intense day of mourning in France, and more than two million people joined his funeral procession to the Panthéon. Today, most large towns in France have at least a street named after him. We have selected for you 100 of his most intense and profound quotes, for you to enjoy his passion and the rhythm of his style. Language: English. Narrator: Katie Haigh.
