What the Ermine Saw: The Extraordinary Journey of Leonardo Da Vinci's Most Mysterious Portrait
In the tradition of The Lady in Gold and The Hare with the Amber Eyes, the remarkable story behind one of history's most enigmatic portraits. Five hundred and thirty years ago, a young woman sat before a Grecian-nosed artist known as Leonardo da Vinci. Her name was Cecilia Gallerani, and she was the young mistress of Ludovico Sforza, duke of Milan. Sforza was a brutal and clever man who was mindful that Leonardo's genius would not only capture Cecilia's beguiling beauty but also reflect the grandeur of his title. But when the portrait was finished, Leonardo's brush strokes had conveyed something deeper by revealing the essence of Cecilia's soul. Even today, The Woman with an Ermine manages to astonish. Despite the work's importance in its own time, no records of it have been found for the two hundred and fifty years that followed Gallerani's death. Eden Collinsworth illuminates the eventual history of this unique masterpiece, as it journeyed from one owner to the next-from the portrait's next recorded owner, a Polish noblewoman, who counted Benjamin Franklin as an admirer, to its exile in Paris during the Polish Soviet War, to its return to WWII-era Poland where-in advance of Germany's invasion-it remained hidden behind a bricked-up wall by a housekeeper who defied Hitler's edict that it be confiscated as one of the Reich's treasures. What the Ermine Saw is a fact-based story that cheats fiction and a reminder that genius, power, and beauty always have a price.- Shop: buecher

Taken by the Wargs (Warg Erotica) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min, (USK 18)
As a young maiden in a small village, Vanya was expected to act a certain way. No longer could she run out into the fields or accompany men on their hunts. She was expected to stay within the confines of the village. So, when the opportunity to go along with a few men on an ermine hunt presents itself, she quickly jumps on the opportunity. Things are slow and uneventful, until the hunting party hears a howl in the distance. Vanya thinks it's a wolf. However, one hunter tells her the sound didn't come from a wolf, but a warg, a massive wolf that could take a man's head with its powerful bite. A pack of the creatures attack and Vanya boldly sacrifices herself so the men can escape. She finds herself captured by the creatures. What do these powerful beasts want with her? Is she to be their next meal? Or do they have something else in store for her? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christine Fraser.

The Brig Society: Complete Series 3: The BBC Radio 4 sitcom, Hörbuch, Digital, 167min
In the complete third series of the multiaward-winning show, from the makers of Cabin Pressure and Armando Iannucci’s Charm Offensive, Marcus Brigstocke examines different facets of life by being put in charge of them. Each week he starts out by thinking, Well, it can’t be that difficult, surely and ends up with Oh, turns out it’s utterly difficult and complicated. Who knew...?. Joining him are regular guest stars William Andrews (Sorry, I’ve Got No Head) and Margaret Cabourn-Smith (Miranda) as well as special guests Justin Edwards and Colin Hoult as they tackle the ills of British society. In the first episode, Marcus decides to take his local football team all the way to the top of the Premier League. He finds out about the pure, noble and honest game of football - and FIFA. In show two -“Being a Woman” - Marcus has decided to cross the gender gap and become a woman. Expect a clear-eyed assessment of sexism and a doubling of the bathroom candle budget. Ahem. In show three, Marcus coughs politely, dons a crumpled linen suit and fibs for Britain as he tries his hand at becoming a diplomat. On the way, he’ll look at the history and origins of diplomacy. In the nicely furnished, affordable show four with very attractive views, Marcus decides to solve the housing crisis. He’ll also be building a basement under the studio and knocking down a party wall he shares with the Archers. Good Lord - is exactly what Marcus has become in show five in order to peer under the ermine and see if we really do need that second chamber.... Along the way he’ll be looking at the history and function of the House of Lords and having a good old rummage in the Woolsack. Please turn your radio over and start listening as, in the final show, Marcus has 30 minutes to retake his GCSEs. Language: English.

Pope Francis: The Historic Life of the first Pope from the Americas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min
It is March 13, 2013. White smoke is seen coming out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel where the College of Cardinals have gathered to pray and vote on the election of a successor to Pope Benedict XVI. They had been sequestered for two days, and five ballots had been taken. The press was speculating over who would be elected, and even though it was rumored that Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio had been the runner up or the candidate receiving the second most votes in the consultatory that elected Benedict (then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) in 2005, hardly anyone had the Jesuit cardinal on their short list. After all, he was a Jesuit who was already 76 years old and from South America. Despite the odds, when Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran stepped out onto the balcony at the papal palace and announced to the world Habemus Papam (We have a Pope!), the man who was called to step into the shoes of the fisherman, St. Peter, was none other than Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the first Jesuit ever chosen for this honor, the first from the Americas, and the first ever from the southern hemisphere. Like the fictional Pope Kiril in the 1963 MGM movie titled The Shoes of the Fisherman, he shunned the red slippers and the ermine lined mozzetta (cape) of his predecessors, and he also continued to wear the simple iron cross that he had worn as Cardinal Bergoglio, not one of the jewel-encrusted ones usually worn by the Bishop of Rome. In another first, it was announced that he would be known as Francis, after the great Saint Francis of Assisi, a friend to the poor, to animals, and a lover of nature. Pope Francis: The Historic Life of the First Pope from the Americas chronicles the amazing life of the leader of the Catholic Church and how he came to be pope. ungekürzt. Language: English.
