    The Iliad & The Odyssey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1717min
    Little is known about the Ancient Greek oral poet Homer, the supposed 8th century BC author of the world-read Iliad and his later masterpiece, The Odyssey. These classic epics provided the basis for Greek education and culture throughout the classical age and formed the backbone of humane education through the birth of the Roman Empire and the spread of Christianity. If Homer did in fact exist, this supposedly blind poet was from some region of Greek-controlled Asia-Minor and recited his poems at festivals and political assemblies. In this extraordinary two volume audio set, the glorious saga again unfolds, telling the story of courage and magical adventure in Ancient Greece. The Iliad, the first of Homer's epic poems, tells of the counsel of Nestor, Achilles's slaying of Hector, and the defeat of the Trojans by the Greeks. In The Odyssey, in his perilous journey home after the Trojan War, Odysseus must pass through the land of the Cyclopes, encounter Circe the Enchantress, and face the terrible Charybdis and the six headed serpent Scylla. Both epics are translated here by Samuel Butler. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lescault. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/comm/000069/bk_comm_000069_sample.mp3.

    A Conversation with Fear , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min
    “We all pack different ideas and feelings into the word fear: fear of the unknown, fear of failure, of losing control, of aging, of falling down, fear of the body reacting and fear of the body not reacting, even the fear of saying the word fear. This audiobook does not attempt to define fear or explain why a frightened person experiences certain physiological responses. It doesn’t separate students into categories or classify symptoms. "What this book does attempt is to offer you both audacity and comfort. Although comfort feels quiet, it arrives through a bold move: accepting the presence of fear. To do this, we must pick our way between two powerful tendencies, to control and to cure, the Scylla and Charybdis of our culture. These tendencies show themselves constantly in words like manage, handle, overcome, conquer, dispel, banish, fix.… By regarding fear as a pathology to control or cure, we assume that life without its presence is possible, normal, or even desirable. But once we accept fear as a habitual acquaintance in an imaginative, meaningful life, we can begin to cultivate a conversation with it rather than engage it in a fight.” ungekürzt.

    Cursed by the Sea God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    The second volume in the trilogy that re-envisions Homer's Odyssey is once again told from the viewpoint of Alexi, the young Trojan boy. Captured by Odysseus after the fall of Troy, Alexi is forced to accompany the Greeks on their sea journey home to Ithaca. Cursed by the Sea God contains many of the iconic adventures of the homeward journey, including the encounter with the keeper of the winds, the descent into Hades, the fateful visit to the cannibal Laestrygonians, the encounters with Circe the sorceress, who turns the crew into pigs, the songs of the Sirens, and the deadly passage between the monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis. Having earned his master's respect in saving him from the Sirens, Alexi loses it all though mischance, and his own circumstances take a turn for the worse as he is given away to the most brutal soldier on the ship. It takes all of Alexi's skill and determination just to stay alive. The first volume in the trilogy,Torn from Troy, received an Earphone Award from AudioFile Magazine, while the print edition was nominated for the 2012 OLA Red Maple Award and has proved to be a best seller. ungekürzt.

    Jason and the Golden Fleece: The Argonautica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    Jason and the Golden Fleece is one of the finest tales of Ancient Greece, an epic journey of adventure and trial standing beside similar stories of Perseus, Theseus and the Labours of Heracles. The finest classic account comes from Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek poet of the 3rd century BCE and librarian at Alexandria. Though less well-known than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and much shorter, it is an epic poem which is both exciting and moving, with remarkably vivid portraits of the main characters, Jason and Medea. In the hands of Apollonius, these are far from one-dimensional figures of ancient myth. Jason is a very human hero, forced to undertake the quest by a vengeful ruler, and though he leads a ship full of heroes - Heracles, Peleus, Caster and Polydeuces among them - he has moments of doubt and prevarication which he has to overcome in order to ultimately grasp the Golden Fleece. And Medea, a virgin witch possessing consummate skill with spells and an ability to be cruel, is shown here with some sympathy, for she is under the sway of the immortals Hera and Athena. Succumbing to their machinations and Eros's arrow, she finds herself on a dangerous path, flouting the will of her powerful father Aeetes, King of the Colchians, to help the Argonauts. And then there is the ship itself, Argo, wrought with the help of Athena to survive the challenges of a distant voyage past Scylla and Charybdis into the Black Sea. Apollonius weaves plot and poetry, courage and boldness, tenderness and sympathy, to fashion one of the greatest monuments of Western literature. R. C. Seaton's classic translation has been considerably revised for this recording by Nicolas Soames, and it is read with verve by Jonathan Keeble. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Keeble.

    Sinbad Forever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1352min
    The name actually means "greatest of sages," but let's face it: Sinbad is synonymous with adventure. His voyages are legendary, but only a few are really well-known. Here, then, are three consecutive tales brought to light for the first time, a trilogy of epic scope that spans not just the seven seas but the universe - and even time itself! Ride along with the sea captain as he heroically faces off against deadly sorcerers, fearsome creatures, and dark deities, most of them fiercely determined to either enslave humanity or destroy it. In the opener, Sinbad's path crosses that of the legendary Argo, bringing him face-to-face with the tortured hero Jason of Thessaly as they meet on a forbidden island where the Greek gods are safeguarding magical items too dangerous even to be kept on Olympus. Up next, is Sinbad at the End of the Universe, wherein Sinbad's search for his missing father takes him to the Scylla and Charybdis - and from there across the galaxy - all the while pursued by a treacherous and frequently invisible alchemist and conjurer dead set on revenge. And in the staggering conclusion to the Sinbad Forever Trilogy, Sinbad at the Dawn of Time, Sinbad and his unique band of comrades must find their way back to modern day (well, their modern day, anyway) from the Triassic Era if they are to help the outmatched heroes of Greece save Olympus from falling to the mighty Egyptian deity Sin and his winged legions of corrupted humanity. Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this. Fun for the whole family, especially those who grew up with the movies of Ray Harryhausen such as Jason and the Argonauts and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. In fact, those two movies are where the trilogy begins. Where does it go from there? Everywhere. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bridger Conklin.
