    Jane Eyre , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1166min
    Jane Eyre, the plain yet spirited governess, introduced a new kind of heroine in literature - one whose virtuous integrity, sharp intellect, and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Orphaned and subjected to cruelty at Lowood charity school, Jane nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. The story of how Jane becomes governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her by Victorian society. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as "the masterwork of a great genius", this impassioned love story is still regarded, more than a century later, as one of the finest novels in literature. ungekürzt.

    Finding Iris Chang: Friendship, Ambition, and the Loss of an Extraordinary Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
    Iris Chang, the best-selling author of The Rape of Nanking and a tireless human-rights activist, symbolized strength to many in the literary and social-justice worlds. Her fearless reputation made it all the more shocking when she committed suicide in 2004 at age 36. Long-time friend and confidante Paula Kamen reveals for the first time the private Iris behind the bold, international celebrity. She offers a tribute to the lost heroine while attempting to explain Iris' tragic psychological decline. Through letters, diaries, and her own memories and investigative journalism, Kamen fills in the surprising gaps in Chang's personal transformation, from awkward teen to world-class writer and lecturer, and, finally, into mental illness and paranoia. Finding Iris Chang is a portrait of a vulnerable woman who changed the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernadette Dunne.

    For All Americans: The Dramatic Story Behind the Stupak Amendment and The Historic Passage of Obamacare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 803min
    Bart Stupak, a nine-term Democratic Congressman from Michigan’s First Congressional District, brought two unshakable principles with him to Capitol Hill in 1992: a firm belief in the sanctity of life, and the conviction that health care was a right for all Americans and not a privilege for the fortunate few. Studies indicating that 45,000 Americans died needlessly every year for lack of access to health care inspired Congressman Stupak’s tireless efforts, often at great personal cost, to pass lifesaving legislation while remaining true to his right-to-life principles.This book is a fascinating front row seat to the inner workings and behind-the-scenes deal making in the US House of Representatives, and a first person account of the collaboration between President Obama and Bart Stupak’s small but dedicated team of legislators to achieve the historic passage of the Affordable Care Act for all Americans. ungekürzt.

    True Devotion to Mary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 778min
    St. Louis De Montfort (1673-1716) was a French Roman Catholic priest and was made a missionary apostolic by Pope Clement XI.

From his youth he displayed a singular devotion to the Virgin Mary. True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin is one of the greatest and most celebrated books ever written about Our Lady. Unpublished during the saint's lifetime, it was discovered in 1842. The author views Mary as the essential key to the heart of Jesus and "consecration to Jesus in Mary" as a special path to being united with and consecrated to Christ.
