Montaigne (eBook, ePUB)

"Der Umgang mit Büchern weicht mir auf meiner ganzen Lebensbahn nicht von der Seite und steht mir allenthalben zu Diensten. Er tröstet mich im Alter und in der Einsamkeit. Er entlastet mich von der Bürde eines öden Müßiggangs und hält mir zu jeder Stunde unerwünschte Gesellschaft vom Leibe." Sarah Bakewell beschreibt in diesem Auszug aus ihrer viel gerühmten Montaigne-Biographie, warum sich das Leben Montaignes mit und zwischen Büchern abspielte: Lesen war für ihn kein Gegenpol zum Leben, sondern das Tor zu einer erfüllten, angeregten, phantasievollen, glücklichen Existenz. Ihr kurzweiliges Buch zeigt, was wir von dem Leser Montaigne für unser eigenes Leben lernen können.

Dead in the Dark: Cooper and Fry, Book 17 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min

Master crime writer Stephen Booth ventures into the Peak District's dark subterranean world for a brand-new stunning and gasp-inducing Cooper and Fry thriller. How do you prove a murder without a body? Ten years ago Reece Bower was accused of killing his wife, a crime he always denied. Extensive police searches near his home in Bakewell found no trace of Annette Bower's remains, and the case against him collapsed. But now memories of the original investigation have been resurrected for Detective Inspector Ben Cooper - because Reece Bower himself has disappeared, and his new wife wants answers. Cooper can't call on the Major Crime Unit and DS Diane Fry for help unless he can prove a murder took place - impossible without a body. As his search moves into the caves and abandoned mines in the isolated depths of Lathkilldale, the question is: who would want revenge for the death of Annette Bower? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Wie soll ich leben?

Lies viel, vergiss das meiste wieder, und sei schwer von Begriff! - Habe ein Hinterzimmer in deinem Geschäft! - Tu etwas, was noch nie zuvor jemand getan hat! - Mach deinen Job gut, aber nicht zu gut! - Philosophiere nur zufällig! - Bedenke alles, bereue nichts!Mit diesen und anderen Antworten auf die eine Frage "Wie soll ich leben?" führt Sarah Bakewell durch das ungewöhnliche Leben des Weingutbesitzers, Liebhabers, Essayisten, Bürgermeisters und Reisenden Michel de Montaigne. Dabei gelingt ihr das Kunststück, ihn ganz im 16. Jahrhundert, im Zeitalter der Religionskriege, zu verorten und gerade dadurch für unsere Zeit verständlich zu machen. Wie soll man Montaigne lesen? Nicht wie ein Kind, um sich zu amüsieren, und nicht wie die Ehrgeizigen, um sich zu belehren. "Nein. Lesen sie ihn, um zu leben!", empfahl der große Flaubert.

Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min

I can imagine few more enjoyable ways of thinking than to read this book. —Sarah Bakewell, New York Times Book Review, front-page review Tackling the "darkest question in all of philosophy" with "raffish erudition" (Dwight Garner, The New York Times), author Jim Holt explores the greatest metaphysical mystery of all: why is there something rather than nothing? This runaway best seller, which has captured the imagination of critics and the public alike, traces our latest efforts to grasp the origins of the universe. Holt adopts the role of cosmological detective, traveling the globe to interview a host of celebrated scientists, philosophers, and writers, "testing the contentions of one against the theories of the other" (Jeremy Bernstein, Wall Street Journal). As he interrogates his list of ontological culprits, the brilliant yet slyly humorous Holt contends that we might have been too narrow in limiting our suspects to God versus the Big Bang. This "deft and consuming" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) narrative humanizes the profound questions of meaning and existence it confronts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Menasche.

In this much-anticipated sequel, Hunter now looks back across five decades of successful writing to reflect on his colourful memories of living in London during the height of the Swinging '60s; becoming editor of Britain's first colour weekend supplement The Sunday Times magazine, where he befriended the Beatles; and reporting on (and partying with) some of the biggest names in television, film and theatre of the day. As time moved on into the 1970s, '80s and '90s, Hunter encountered the likes of Sir Michael Caine, George Best, Melvyn Bragg, Joan Bakewell, Sir Sean Connery, Cilla Black, Paul Gascoigne, and Wayne Rooney, to name a few. Hunter brings the story full circle to reflect on his years spent with the love of his life - the best-selling writer Margaret Forster, who sadly passed away in February 2016. This will not only be a colourful and enjoyable memoir of what it was like to be at the epicentre of Britain's artistic heart but also an emotional, heartfelt tribute to family, friends and colleagues.
