    Tales of King Arthur and the Round Table , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
    The Tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are of Celtic origin. It is believed that King Arthur lived in the sixth century, just after the Romans withdrew from Britain. Minstrels and storytellers travelled through the land in the centuries after this, telling tales of chivalry and heroism, and the legends of King Arthur grew up across Britain and parts of Europe. Andrew Lang's collection of Arthurian legends is one of the most complete and comprehensive ever written and is more accessible than most. He has drawn extensively on the "Historia Britonum", which was used by Geoffrey of Monmouth, as well as Thomas Malory's "Morte d'Arthur" and a number of stories of the Holy Grail which are of French origin. The Drawing of the Sword The Sword Excalibur How the Round Table Began The Story of Sir Balin What Beaumains Asked of the King How Morgan Le Fay Tried to Kill King Arthur The Passing of Merlin How the King Went on a Pilgrimage The Coming of the Holy Grail The Adventure of Sir Galahad How Sir Lancelot Saw a Vision The Adventure of Sir Percivale An Adventure of Sir Lancelot An Adventure of Sir Gawaine The Adventure of Sir Bors An Adventure of Sir Galahad Sir Lancelot Meets Sir Galahad How Sir Galahad Found the Grail The Fight for the Queen The Fair Maid of Astolat Lancelot and Guinevere The End of it All ungekürzt.

    Bestiality Gangbang 2: Gangbanged By My Horny Dogs (eBook, ePUB)
    Sensing that she was in heat, Susie’s three dogs descended upon her, slaking their bestial thirst on her 18-year-old body as mortified onlookers stood in shocked silence. She was too horny to resist the raging animals and her carnal lust drove her to submit to the dominant beasts. Excerpt: Susie raced down the slope followed by her three dogs. King, her large and intimidating Bull Mastiff, Fred her Coonhound and Lobo her Irish Wolfhound loped along with their tongues lolling from their mouths. "What am I going to do now?" Susie muttered under her breath as she stopped by a tree. Her dogs gathered around her as she ranted on and on about losing her job. She didn't want to look for another one. But she had to. "It's no fair! I worked hard and always came in on time. And they can do this?" The 18-year-old woman asked her listening audience. She sighed as she slipped her hand underneath her pants and under her panties to her hot cunt that demanded attention. She loved the feel of her folds and clit as she pleasured herself. When she withdrew her fingers and smelled them, all her dogs gathered around her, sniffing them too. Susie could tell by the special smell that she was ovulating. She giggled as they sniffed and licked her fingers, then sat back down whining. They all looked eagerly at her as she masturbated. Suddenly, King growled. Grabbing her pants, he yanked them off. "Hey!" She yelped in surprise.

    The Great War: The First World War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
    1914. The Origin of the War The industrial revolution, started in the last decades of the 18th century, triggered the economic expansion towards the colonies, particularly those in the African continent. Nationalism, imperialism, and militarism had provoked different colonial conflicts among the European powers, which however managed to maintain a period of tranquility known as “Peace through strength”, which broke irreparably on the 28th of June of 1914.1915. Globalization of the Conflict This was the first year of war. On the Western front, the Germans had managed to establish firm positions and in the East. The Italians and Austro-Hungarians clashed in the battles of the Isonzo River, while the British troops suffered a disaster in Gallipoli, in the Middle East, in a battle with the Turks.1916. The Great Offensives Throughout the year, the Allies deployed a huge military force in the areas of the Ottoman Empire in Mesopotamia, Arabia, and Palestine.1917. Changes in the Fronts The Russian revolution was a decisive development for both fronts.1918. The Ending Year The armies of the Central European Empires were exhausted, as well as the French and British troops. On the Eastern front, the Russians withdrew from the fight and the Germans moved their forces towards the Western front, where they attempted several desperate offensives before the arrival of the American troops. Germany ended up being the great looser. As the war ended, four empires disappeared, Russia had become a communist state and in central Europe the German population was bitter with rancour. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    250 Days: Cantona's Kung Fu and the Making of Man U , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 206min
    25th January 1995.A cold winter’s evening. Manchester United away against Crystal Palace at a packed-out Selhurst Park. Eric Cantona, United's mercurial talisman, has been man-marked closely all game by Richard Shaw and become increasingly frustrated. In the 48th minute, Cantona’s temper boils over, and he kicks out at Shaw. The ref shows him a red card. On his way off the pitch, a Palace fan rushes towards the hoardings to hurl abuse. The Frenchman loses it. He launches into the crowd, aiming a kung fu kick at the fan’s chest. He is forcibly restrained and then taken off down the tunnel. The football world is stunned. Nothing like this has ever happened before.What followed has entered football folklore: the media furore, the seagulls following the trawler and the longest domestic ban ever handed to a player; it would end up lasting 250 days. As Manchester United’s campaign stuttered towards a trophy-less conclusion, surrendering the league on the last day of the season and losing the FA Cup final, Cantona withdrew from the public eye. But behind closed doors, Ferguson was planning the most remarkable of fresh starts for his star player and for a new-look United.250 Days tells the story in brilliant detail of one of the most turbulent times in United’s recent history. Showing Cantona in a new light and the genius of Ferguson’s man management and vision in close relief, it is an incredibly entertaining and insightful look at the most controversial episode of the Premier League era. ungekürzt.

    To Save A City: The Berlin Airlift, 1948-1949 [Illustrated Edition] (eBook, ePUB)
    Includes 30 IllustrationsIn this expert survey Air Force Historian Robert Miller explores the Epic story of the Berlin Airlift, the confrontation of Democracy and Communism as the world teetered on the brink of the Third World War.The Berlin blockade (24 June 1948;-12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post-World War II Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under allied control. The Soviets offered to drop the blockade if the Western Allies withdrew the newly introduced Deutschmark from West Berlin. In response, the Western Allies organised the Berlin airlift to carry supplies to the people in West Berlin. Aircrews from the United States Air Force, the British Royal Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the South African Air Force flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing up to 8,893 tons of necessities daily, such as fuel and food, to the Berliners. Neither side wanted a war; the Soviets did not disrupt the airlift.By the spring of 1949 the airlift was clearly succeeding, and by April it was delivering more cargo than had previously been transported into the city by rail. On 11 May 1949, the USSR lifted the blockade of West Berlin. The Berlin Crisis of 1948-1949 served to highlight competing ideological and economic visions for post-war Europe, particularly Germany. The clash ultimately led to the division of that country into East and West and to the division of Berlin itself.

    In Love (eBook, ePUB)
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful memoir of a love that leads two people to find a courageous way to part-and a woman's struggle to go forward in the face of loss-that "enriches the reader's life with urgency and gratitude" (The Washington Post) "A pleasure to read . . . Rarely has a memoir about death been so full of life. . . . Bloom has a talent for mixing the prosaic and profound, the slapstick and the serious."-USA Today ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022-Oprah Daily, BookPage Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer's disease. Forced to confront the truth of the diagnosis and its impact on the future he had envisioned, Brian was determined to die on his feet, not live on his knees. Supporting each other in their last journey together, Brian and Amy made the unimaginably difficult and painful decision to go to Dignitas, an organization based in Switzerland that empowers a person to end their own life with dignity and peace. In this heartbreaking and surprising memoir, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from discussing-its ending. Written in Bloom's captivating, insightful voice and with her trademark wit and candor, In Love is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage, and a boundary-defying love.

    War on the Border: Villa, Pershing, the Texas Rangers, and an American Invasion
    An "engagingly written" (The Wall Street Journal) account of the "Punitive Expedition" of 1916 that brought Pancho Villa and Gen. John J. Pershing into conflict, and whose reverberations continue in the Southwestern US to this day. Jeff Guinn, chronicler of the Southwestern US and of American undesirables (Bonnie and Clyde, Charles Manson, and Jim Jones) tells the "riveting and supremely entertaining narrative" (S.C. Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Summer Moon) of Pancho Villa's bloody raid on a small US border town that sparked a violent conflict with the US. The "Punitive Expedition" was launched in retaliation under Pershing's command and brought together the Army, National Guard, and the Texas Rangers—who were little more than organized vigilantes with a profound dislike of Mexicans on both sides of the border. Opposing this motley military brigade was Villa, a guerrilla fighter who commanded an ever-changing force of conscripts in northern Mexico. The American expedition was the last action by the legendary African American "Buffalo Soldiers." It was also the first time the Army used automobiles and trucks, which were of limited value in Mexico, a country with no paved roads or gas stations. Curtiss Jenny airplanes did reconnaissance, another first. One era of warfare was coming to a close as another was beginning. But despite some bloody encounters, the Punitive Expedition eventually withdrew without capturing Villa. Today Anglos and Latinos in Columbus, New Mexico, where Villa's raid took place, commemorate those events, but with differing emotions. And although the bloodshed has ended, the US-Mexico border remains as vexed and volatile an issue as ever.

    The Greatest Civil War Battles: The Battle of Stones River (Murfreesboro) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    In all, 58 pieces of artillery played upon the enemy. Not less than 100 shots per minute were fired. As the mass of men swarmed down the slope they were mowed down by the score. Confederates were pinioned to the earth by falling branches. - G. C. Kniffin, aide to General Crittenden Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, particularly Gettysburg, Antietam, and Shiloh, all of which involved Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant. But one of the six biggest battles of the war, and the one that took the heaviest toll by percent on both armies was fought at the end of 1862 in Tennessee, and it involved neither of those generals. In late December 1862, William Rosecrans' Union Army of the Cumberland was contesting Middle Tennessee against Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee, and for three days the two armies savaged each other as Bragg threw his army at Rosecrans in a series of desperate assaults. Bragg's army was unable to dislodge the Union army, and he eventually withdrew his army after learning that Rosecrans was on the verge of receiving reinforcements. Though the battle was stalemated, the fact that the Union army was left in possession of the field allowed Rosecrans to declare victory and embarrassed Bragg. Though Stones River is mostly overlooked as a Civil War battle today, it had a decisive impact on the war. The two armies had both suffered nearly 33% casualties, an astounding number in 1862 that also ensured Rosecrans would not start another offensive campaign in Tennessee until the following June. The Union victory also ensured control of Nashville, Middle Tennessee, and Kentucky for the rest of the war. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Abell.

    The Greatest Civil War Battles: The Battle of Nashville , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    Never had there been such an overwhelming victory during the Civil War - indeed, never in American military history. - Wiley Ford's comment on the Franklin-Nashville Campaign As Sherman began his infamous march to the sea, Lincoln instructed Grant to redirect General George H. Thomas' efforts back to Tennessee to protect Union supply lines and stop the offensive mounted by Confederate general John Bell Hood. With Sherman marching east toward the sea, he directed Thomas to try to block Hood around Nashville. On November 30, the Union army began digging in around Franklin, and that afternoon Hood ordered a frontal assault on the dug in Union army. After repeated frontal assaults failed to create a gap in the Union lines, Schofield withdrew his men across the river on the night of November 30, successfully escaping Hood's army. Meanwhile, Hood had inflicted nearly 8,000 casualties upon his army while the Union lost about a quarter of that. Despite practically wrecking his army, Hood marched his battered army to a position outside Nashville, Tennessee, where he took up defensive positions while awaiting reinforcements from Texas. Even as Grant sniped at him, Thomas held back for nearly two weeks, partly because of a bad ice storm, and his delay nearly resulted in having Grant remove him from command. When reinforcements didn't arrive by December 15, Thomas finally devised a complex two-pronged attack that feinted at Hood's right flank while bringing overwhelming force on the left flank. During the two day battle, Thomas effectively destroyed Hood's command, inflicting over 6,000 more Confederate casualties while losing less than half that. Upon reaching his headquarters at Tupelo, Mississippi, General Hood requested to be relieved of command rather than be removed in disgrace. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pattie Shaughnessy.
