Summary:
Jack Kerouac’s last published work is an endearing portrayal of brotherhood and the classic American road trip adventure, viewed through the eyes of a young boy. This novella tells the story of a ten-year-old Black boy named Pictorial Review “Pic” Jackson, who lives with his grandfather in North Carolina in the 1940s. After his grandfather dies and Pic is living with another relative, his older brother, Slim, shows up to take him out of that dysfunctional home, and they journey from the rural South to New York City. They head for Harlem, where Slim lives with his girlfriend and where Pic sees firsthand the economic hard times his brother is experiencing. After losing job after job, Slim sends his pregnant girlfriend off to San Francisco to live with her sister. Then the brothers set out to hitchhike their way west, making their way to California across a country suffused with danger, music, love, and hardship. Told from the point of view of Pic, Kerouac wrote this work in a dialect that is stereotypical for Black American youth of that era.

Summary:
From famed Beat writer Jack Kerouac comes a collection of essays and stories compiled from journal entries he made during his travels. In his first autobiographical work, Jack Kerouac reveals exhilarating stories of the years he spent traveling, while writing his acclaimed novels.

He also writes about relationship, jobs, and the nature of life on the road. Here are echoes of landscapes that appear in some of his novels, including The Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels. Included here are “Piers of a Homeless Night,” “Mexico Fellaheen,” “The Railroad Earth,” “Slobs of the Kitchen Sea,” “New York Scenes,” “Alone on a Mountaintop,” “Big Trip to Europe,” and “The Vanishing American Hobo.” All feature his distinctive exuberant style of prose.

Title: Satori in Paris
Author: Jack Kerouac
Narrator: TBD
Format: Unabridged
Length: 4:00:00
Language: English
Release date: 03-11-2025
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, Essays & Anthologies

Summary:
A satori, in Kerouac’s own words, is “the Japanese word for ‘sudden illumination,’ ‘sudden awakening,’ or simply ‘kick in the eye.’” This is a story of philosophy, identity, and the powerful grip of travel, written by an iconic American author at the height of his fame, after spending ten days in France searching for his French heritage. Was the satori handed to him by a taxi driver, a waiter, a monsieur with a dazzlingly beautiful secretary, or while feeling fearful in the foggy streets at 3:00 a.m.? Or was it when hearing a requiem by Mozart in an old church, seeing trees in the Tuileries Garden, or while walking on a bridge over the River Seine? The author experienced all that and more, often spending time in seedy bars and caught up in all-night conversations, as revealed in this work that shows the range and versatility of Kerouac’s mature talent. To Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac, “my search for this name in France” results in, according to his own words, “the tale that’s told for no other reason but companionship, which is another (and my favorite) definition of literature.”

Language: English
Release date: 02-11-2025
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fiction & Literature, Essays & Anthologies, Historical

Summary:
Combat Monsters brings together twenty award-winning and bestselling speculative fiction authors who each bring their own spin on an alternate history of World War II. New research has uncovered deeply buried military secrets—both the Allied and Axis special operations during World War II included monsters. Did the Soviets use a dragon to win the Battle of Kursk? Did a vampire fight for the Canadians in Holland? Did the US drop the second atomic bomb on a kaiju? This collection takes real events from World War II and injects them with fantastical creatures that mirror the “unreality” of war itself. Each story—and two poems—feature mythical, mystical, and otherwise unexplainable beings that change the course of history. Dragons rise and fall, witches cast deadly spells, mermaids reroute torpedoes, and all manner of “monsters” intervene for better or worse in the global turmoil of World War II. Together, Combat Monsters challenge the very definition of monstrous, with the brutality of war as a sobering backdrop.

Summary:
From the author of All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone and California Fever comes a romantic comedy about the exuberant intoxication of amore and its often hilarious antics. Aspiring author Billy Spiers tends to fall passionately in love, but soon, finding something missing, fall quickly out again. His grandmother, who raised him, thinks he needs to settle down and find a mate. When Billy’s on the verge of ending yet another relationship, his grandmother decides to do some well-intentioned meddling. Kari Porter is not only smart and beautiful but also a writer with passions and sensibilities similar to Billy’s. She loves the same kind of stories, quotes lines from his favorite old poems and songs, and has similar unique takes on Shakespeare—is this the kindred spirit he’s been longing for? Sparks fly, and soon the two are lingering over dinner and taking romantic sunset bike rides along the California coast. They even manage to matchmake their four closest friends. But artistic types can be overly sensitive. As their relationship rapidly progresses, they become afraid of moving too fast—and of getting hurt. Kari becomes distant, dealing with a crisis she feels she can’t share with Billy, while Billy responds with crazy drastic actions that he thinks might salvage the relationship. Billy’s grandmother can’t help meddling again, sending all three couples to a magical mountain lodge where she and her husband fell madly in love decades before. Mayhem ensues when the enigmatic and impish proprietor of the lodge introduces passion-fueled havoc, pushing the young lovers—inadvertently—in bizarre directions. A twenty-first century twist on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Cupid on the Loose is a delightful romp that takes an entertaining and humorous look at the foibles of infatuation, lust, and romantic love.

Written by Ashley Lutin, who has often thought the same—and worse—in the years since his wife died and his young son disappeared. But the peace of the grave is not for him—it’s for those he can help. Ashley has constructed a peculiar ritual for those whose desire to die is at war with their yearning to live a better life. Struggling to overcome his own endless grief, one night Ashley finds connection with Jinx—a potential candidate for Ashley’s next ritual—who spins a tale both revolting and fascinating. Thus begins a relationship that traps the two men in an ever-tightening spiral of painful revelations, where long-hidden secrets are dragged, kicking and screaming, into the light.

Release date: 01-14-2025
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Legal Thriller

Summary:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Robert Rotstein, A True Verdict is an edge-of-your-seat legal thriller filled with secrets. MediMiracle Corporation manufactures Sophrosyne, a miracle cure for opiate addiction. Ellison Ricard, a research analyst for the company, claims to have uncovered data that proves Black users of Sophrosyne experience fatal side effects far more often than people of other races. When Ricard confronts MediMiracle’s charismatic founder and CEO, Peyton Burke, a violent confrontation ensues. The wheelchair-bound Ricard—a Black man who had been severely injured years earlier—is fired that very day. Ricard turns to aging lawyer M. Bailey Klaus, to sue Burke and MediMiracle for civil rights violations, alleging that Ricard was fired because he blew the whistle on the coverup and because he was Black. Klaus faces off against his former protégé, Cicely Pagano, each arguing for drastically different versions of Ricard. Is he a brilliant, sincere, credible person who is rightfully standing up against a deadly product? Or is he a delusional, embittered, and avaricious liar who is taking advantage of his former employer? Ricard’s fate rests with an eight-person jury who can’t agree on anything. Working together to reach a consensus means navigating a tempest of the most divisive issues: politics, sexism, drug abuse, capitalism, healthcare, and racism. Can eight people with different backgrounds, ages, classes, and political views avoid coming to blows, much less render a true verdict? Told through court transcripts and jury deliberations, A True Verdict is a suspenseful ride to a shocking outcome …

Format: Unabridged
Length: 4:00:00

Release date: 12-17-2024
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Summary:
From the most famous of the Beat writers and the author of On the Road and The Dharma Bums, Kerouac’s intoxicating love story of two young bohemians Written over the course of three days and three nights, The Subterraneans was generated out of the same kind of ecstatic flash of inspiration that produced another one of Kerouac’s early classics, On the Road. Centering around the tempestuous romance and breakup of Leo Percepied and Mardou Fox—two denizens of the 1950s San Francisco underground—The Subterraneans is a tale of dark alleys and smoky rooms, of artists, visionaries, and adventurers existing outside mainstream America’s field of vision. Loosely based on Kerouac’s own life, and peopled with analogues of real-life friends, including William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, The Subterraneans is a vivid and breathless masterwork of Beat literature.

Summary:
A high-flying, high-octane thrill ride, Deep Fury is the long awaited seventh installment of the bestselling Cordell Logan Mysteries from author David Freed. A naked man drops from the night sky and crashes through the roof of a mobile home, nearly killing the elderly couple inside. The victim is soon identified as Pete Hostetler, a well-respected executive at a California-based toy manufacturing company. But detectives are baffled, and there are no leads. Did he accidentally fall out of an airplane or was he pushed? For Cordell Logan—a sardonic, financially struggling flight instructor and former government assassin—Hostetler’s death is personal. The two men were classmates at the US Air Force Academy and later served together as fighter pilots during Operation Desert Storm, where Hostetler saved Logan’s life during one particularly perilous combat mission in Iraq. Logan is convinced Pete was murdered. But who would’ve killed someone in such bizarre fashion, and why? Determined to avenge his battle buddy’s death, Logan starts digging and discovers nothing is as it seems, and that he may not have known Hostetler as well as he thought. Soon a vexing trail of clues lead him and his aging Cessna, the Ruptured Duck, across California, deep into Mexico, and relentlessly into harm’s way.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 6:33:53
Language: English
Release date: 10-01-2024
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Biography & Memoir, Literary

Summary:
The unconventional autobiography of the Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author—“the most vigorous and truthful of American writers” (Newsday)—who reshaped our idea of fiction. A work of compelling candor and inventiveness, instructive particularly in its revelation of the interplay between life and art. Philip Roth concentrates on five episodes from his life: his secure city childhood in the thirties and forties; his education in American life at a conventional college; his passionate entanglement, as an ambitious young man, with the angriest person he ever met (the “girl of my dreams” Roth calls her); his clash, as a fledgling writer, with a Jewish establishment outraged by Goodbye, Columbus; and his discovery, in the excesses of the sixties, of an unmined side to his talent that led him to write Portnoy’s Complaint. The audiobook concludes surprisingly—in true Rothian fashion—with a sustained assault by the novelist against his proficiencies as an autobiographer.

Summary:
Kenny G—the incomparable musician with the straight sax, the flowing hair, and some of the most memorable melodies in history—reveals the man behind the music in this indelible, fascinating, and funny memoir. Brand new to this edition—narrated in full by the author himself—are thirty original saxophone pieces, composed by Kenny G exclusively for this audiobook. In honest and heartfelt words, Kenny G shares how skinny Kenneth Gorelick, the kid who got hassled for his lunch money in a Seattle high school, became one of the most celebrated and revered virtuosos in the music industry. He uncovers how he’s managed to rise above the fray, tune out the critics, and live a life filled with happiness and humor. Few people know of Kenny G’s musical roots as the sole white guy in one of the coolest funk bands of the seventies, or as the teenage backup musician for everyone from Barry White to Liberace. As an artist he’s dedicated to turning the next generation on to jazz heroes like Grover Washington, John Coltrane, and Stan Getz. A man who takes his music seriously but himself not so seriously, Kenny G lets listeners behind the scenes to see how he creates his unique sound and unforgettable songs. Along the way, he offers life lessons in discipline, determination, and dedication. Life in the Key of G leads listeners on a tour of one of the great musical careers of the twentieth century, from the time he pulled a fast one on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show—a bold gamble that launched his stardom—to famed duets with legends like Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, and more. As Kenny G likes to say, “Try it. You’ll have the best sax you ever had.”

Su primer marido la abandonó antes de que diera a luz, y el segundo acaba de desaparecer dejándola con un niño de dos años, una hija adolescente y una cuenta corriente en números rojos.  Nick Diamond tampoco ha tenido mucha suerte: su mujer, una estricta vegetariana, se ha fugado con un carnicero, y su negocio se está yendo a pique. Anna se resiste a la atracción que siente por Nick, sin embargo, todo se desata cuando comienza a trabajar para él como secretaria.  «Una historia de las que te hacen sentir bien, divertida y claro exponente de la literatura de evasión.»  Marie Claire «Esta novela cuenta con la simpatía y el ingenio que esperamos de Carole Matthews. Es perfecta.»  Bella  «Carole Matthews es de las pocas escritoras que pueden rivalizar con Marian Keynes.» Daily Record

Summary:
A wildly entertaining debut from Michelle McGill-Vargas, American Ghoul deftly combines horror and social commentary—with a dash of buddy comedy—in an innovative twist on the vampire genre. You can’t kill someone who’s already dead. That’s what Lavinia keeps telling her jailer after—allegedly—killing her mistress, Simone Arceneau. But how could Simone be dead when she was taking callers just a few minutes before? And why was her house always so dark? Lavinia, a recently freed slave, met Simone, a recently undead vampire, by chance on a plantation in post–Civil War Georgia. With nothing remaining for either woman in the South, the two form a fast friendship and head north. However, Lavinia quickly learns that teaming up with this white woman may be more than she bargained for. Simone is reckless and impulsive—which would’ve been bad enough on its own, but when combined with her particular diet, Lavinia finds herself in way over her head. As she is forced to repeatedly compromise her morals and struggles to make lasting human connections, Lavinia begins to wonder, is she truly free or has she merely exchanged one form of enslavement for another? As bodies start to pile up in the small Indiana town they’ve settled in, people start to take a second look at the two newcomers, and Simone and Lavinia’s relationship is stretched to its breaking point …Book discussion questions are available here: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/www.blackstoneaudio.com/docs/American%20Ghoul_Discussion%20Guide.pdf

Summary:
From New York Times bestselling author Colleen Houck, Tiger’s Tale begins a new series which reimagines the epic fantasy Tiger’s Curse and delights readers with more romance, danger, and magic, leaving them breathless and yearning for more. The Tiger’s Curse takes many forms … Anastasia and Verusha Stepanov are the tsar’s only children, heirs to the prosperous and sprawling Kievian Empire. Headstrong and fierce, the twins have long scorned their father’s opulent palace and the diplomatic obligations that come with it, preferring to train with the Royal Guard and dream of a soldier’s life beyond the palace walls. But with their father lost in the recent war and their once indomitable mother succumbing to illness, the young women know that one of them must soon ascend the throne, make a politically advantageous marriage, and begin producing heirs. Yet the succession is far from clear, as both would prefer the path of the second born: head the Royal Guard, travel the far reaches of the empire, and seek out a destiny of her own making. As their beloved mother’s condition worsens, the sisters grow more desperate, seeking any healer who might give her more time. But when a stranger arrives offering another option, the sisters refuse his proposal and banish the strange man. As he departs, the stranger unleashes a devastating curse that sends Veru and Stacia fleeing their home on an adventure beyond anything they ever imagined …

Il modello di massoneria trattata in questo compendio non è frutto della visione personale del suo autore, ma la descrizione di una realtà operante da tre secoli in un paese vicino al nostro con un sistema massonico differente dal nostro, il Rito Francese, di cui si spiegano le caratteristiche, la tradizione, lo sviluppo, e le prospettive.Una proposta, quella di questo Rito immerso nella realtà sociale, rivolto agli uomini ed alle donne della Massoneria, che sia all'altezza delle sfide con cui vuole misurarsi, dirigendo il proprio impegno in una duplice direzione: interna col lavoro nella loggia per la costruzione, destrutturazione e ricostruzione di sé, ed esterno, di impegno per il miglioramento morale, sociale e politico dell'ambiente in cui vive, attraverso la cultura, all'insegna di un nuovo umanesimo globalizzato, che significa un mondo nuovo unito nella diversità.www.ritofrancese.it

Riepilogo:
Azzurra ed Evan sono due dodicenni di Amate sul Mare, immaginario villaggio portuale siciliano affacciato sul Mar Ionio. Un giorno alla bambina viene l'idea di affidare al mare un messaggio da parte dell'acqua, invocando il rispetto per la natura. I due amici scrivono quindi un biglietto, firmandolo 'Tallulah': nome di origine indiana che sta per 'acqua salterina'. Ma c'è un problema. Il biglietto viene inserito in una bottiglia di plastica che, a ogni tentativo di lancio in mare, torna indietro, finendo addirittura in testa alla bambina. A quanto pare l'acqua è viva e non ama il materiale di cui è fatta la bottiglia. Ecco perché la restituisce ai ragazzi tramite Tallulah, L'Eroina dai super poteri alla quale è dedicato questo libro di avventure. L'acquatica fanciulla - il cui nome di nascita è Ondina - racconta le sue origini ai bambini e il viaggio avventuroso che ha dovuto affrontare per arrivare fino a loro. Il suo messaggio è di una limpidezza disarmante: la Soluzione a tutti i mali che affliggono il mondo è l'acqua. Essa infatti custodisce, sin dalla notte dei tempi, le emozioni, i pensieri e le intenzioni degli Esseri Umani, ispirandone l'agire. Il buon esito delle loro scelte dipende dal loro atteggiamento nei riguardi della vita e dell'acqua, di cui sono fatti. Pur assumendo fattezze umane, Tallulah conserva le proprietà dell'acqua in ogni suo stato: di volta in volta diventa pioggia, mare, lago, fiume, ghiaccio, nuvola, neve o vapore. Ai suoi piccoli amici, dopo aver condiviso con loro la sua storia, l'acquatica Eroina affida la sua magica alleata: Blue, l'ampolla di vetro blu cobalto che dispensa la vibrante energia delle parole, corrispondenti ai Valori. Sono proprio i Valori a guidare i ragazzi a trovare le Risposte per salvare il Pianeta: Amore, Generosità, Gratitudine, Presenza, Saggezza, Autostima, Fede, Lealtà, Armonia, Verità, Coraggio, Equilibrio, Perdono. Perché i Valori sono i modi in cui si esprime l'Amore. E l'Amore vince su tutto. La voce narrante è quella dell'Autrice, Jasmine Laurenti.

Summary:
The Border Between Us is a poignant coming-of-age novel from one of the most exciting voices in fiction. Ramón López was born along the US–Mexico border but is determined to get out and embrace the American dream—and he’s not sure whether his complicated family is a help or a hindrance. As the son of immigrants, as Ramón grows, his admiration for his entrepreneurial father sours as he watches his dad’s dreams of success wither on the vine. Ramón’s mother is constantly preoccupied with his younger brother, who struggles with intellectual disabilities. And the outside world is rife with danger and temptations threatening to distract Ramón from his dreams of making it to New York and succeeding as an artist. As dreams clash with reality and values conflict with desires, Ramón finds the American dream within his reach—but will it demand too big a sacrifice? Award-winning author Rudy Ruiz brilliantly captures the beauty and the danger of border life as Ramón struggles to understand his home and his place in the world. The Border Between Us is a stunning, compassionate story about a son’s fraught relationship with his father, the challenges of pursuing a creative life when you come from humble beginnings, and the power of embracing the whole of who you are.

Riepilogo:
La storia, anzi le storie sono vere. Inventata è la modalità scelta per il loro racconto: la memoria di un'anziana signora che dopo un ictus non ha più contatti col mondo esterno. Il suo 'racconto' incrocia la vita di suo padre con la propria. Suo padre è un pianista e compositore calabrese che nella seconda metà dell'800 si fa ammirare dalle corti di tutta Europa, conosce Garibaldi, Rossini e Liszt. Poi, tra i due secoli, è costretto a tornare a Cosenza per salvare (invano) la filanda di famiglia, e viene dimenticato. Si chiama Alfonso Rendano. La figlia ne ricostruisce la storia, che incrocia gli esiti infelici del Risorgimento per il Sud, i fasti della Belle Époque e la grande sfida musicale lanciata da Wagner. Nella sua memoria, questa storia è spesso interrotta da episodi della propria vita. Rivive la prigionia dei figli partigiani a via Tasso con Kappler. Ma rivive anche gli scherzi e gli allegri riti familiari. E tra un episodio e l'altro, ragiona su questo suo strano modo di sentire e vedere le cose, che a un certo punto subisce una misteriosa trasformazione.

Riepilogo:
Giorgio, infermiere e sindacalista in un ospedale provinciale italiano, conduce una vita che in superficie appare perfettamente ordinata: un lavoro impegnativo, una famiglia e un ruolo sociale definito. Ma sotto questa facciata, si celano turbolenze interiori e conflitti inaspettati. La sua esistenza, segnata da un carattere complesso e una tendenza al sarcasmo, si snoda tra le sfide del lavoro ospedaliero e le complessità delle relazioni personali. Con l'irruzione della pandemia di COVID-19, Giorgio si trova di fronte a nuove responsabilità professionali e a dilemmi etici che lo costringono a rivedere le sue priorità e le sue scelte. La sua vita si intreccia con quella di Diana, una collega dalla personalità unica e libera, che diventa un faro nella tempesta emotiva che lo travolge. 'Bla bla bla: Amore acqua e sanità' è un viaggio intimo nel cuore e nella mente di un uomo alle prese con i propri demoni. Un romanzo che tocca temi universali come la ricerca di identità, la resilienza di fronte alle avversità e la lotta per trovare un equilibrio tra il dovere professionale e le esigenze personali. Un racconto che riflette la realtà di molti professionisti sanitari, portando alla luce la complessità della vita umana e la bellezza del processo di trasformazione personale.

Summary:
Presidential Agent 103 is targeted by allies and enemies alike as the Nazis roll across Europe in this novel in the Pulitzer Prize–winning series. Europe, 1940. As war rages across the continent, America watches anxiously from the sidelines. And President Franklin Roosevelt has been keeping an even closer eye on developments in the Third Reich. At the president’s personal request, Lanny Budd gained the confidence of the Nazi high command and began transmitting valuable information back to the White House. Espionage is a dangerous game, however, and Presidential Agent 103 soon finds himself a target of the French Resistance fighters he is attempting to assist. On a trip to London, Lanny avoids death during a Luftwaffe bombing raid and takes part in the capture of Rudolf Hess. He gets stranded in Asia and is forced to make his way across war-torn China after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor finally brings the United States into the global melee. But Lanny’s most important mission still lies before him: he must enter the lion’s den alone and unprotected once more to unearth the Nazi Party’s most deeply buried secret—the progress of Hitler’s scientists in the race to build the atom bomb. A World to Win is the electrifying seventh chapter of the Pulitzer Prize–winning series that brings the first half of the twentieth century to vivid life. An astonishing mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of Upton Sinclair’s vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.

Lingua: Italiano
Data di pubblicazione: 08-06-2024
Editore: Bookwire
Categoria: Non-Fiction, Education

Riepilogo:
Un teorema in forma di poema, traduzione e lettura di Enrico Bernard. Pitagora scopre nella morfologia della natura e nelle sue varie manifestazioni gli elementi geometrici, matematici e analitici che compongono la struttura immanente della realtà. Nel suo vagabondare nei boschi, sentimentalmente col pensiero alla sua amata Elena, Pitagora elabora le formule del Pi Greco fondendosi anima e corpo con la vegetazione, seguendo il volo ellttico degli uccelli, studiando la dinamica dei cerchi concentrici sull'acqua o la melodia ritmica e alfanumerica del canto degli uccelli. La poesia di Slonimsky concretizza la prospettiva di una 'moderna poesia filosofica' preconizzata da Massimo Bontempelli, una poesia capace di prendere le distanze dalla 'lirica' contemporanea rimasta legata al Dolce Stil Novo. L'ottima e scorrevole traduzione di Enrico Bernard, fedele al verso originale, rende quest'opera adattissima per l'insegnamento superiore nelle varie discipline di matematica, filosofia, storia e letteratura.

Title: Fimmta Mósebók: Deuteronomium

Summary:
Alþjóðlegt heiti Fimmtu Mósebókar, Deuteronomium, er dregið af grísku og latnesku heiti bókarinnar og merkir „annað lögmál“. Er þá vísað til 5Mós 17.18 þar sem talað er um „afrit á bók af þessum lögum“ handa konunginum. Ritinu er skipt upp í ræður sem Móse flytur þjóðinni í Móabslandi þangað sem hún er komin eftir langa óbyggðagöngu og er í þann mund að halda inn í Kanaansland. Þá eru boðorðin tíu kynnt og sett fram með nokkuð öðrum hætti en í 2Mós 20.1–20.17. Þau eru eins konar lykill að hugmyndum, byggingu og málfari ritsins. Þannig er fyrsta boðorðið umritað og skýrt hvað eftir annað út frá ólíkum viðhorfum og aðstæðum. Í boðinu um að allt helgihald Ísraels skuli fara fram á einum helgistað, „staðnum sem Drottinn mun velja“ (12.5), er fólgin grundvallarregla og megintrúarhugmynd ritsins. Fimmta Mósebók er sett fram eins og kennslubók í lögmáli Drottins. Móse er valinn af Drottni til að kenna það og er allt ritið lagt honum í munn nema nokkur vers í 31. og 34. kafla. Þekking á lögmálinu átti að verða til þess að fólkið lærði að virða Guð og boð hans svo að það uppskæri blessun hans. Jósúa er kynntur sem næsti leiðtogi þjóðarinnar. Eftir að Móse hefur í ljóði lofað trúfesti Guðs deyr hann í Móabslandi austan við Jórdan. Lykilvers ritsins eru í 6.4–6.6 og geyma þau orð sem Jesús kallaði æðst allra boðorða. Skipting ritsins 1.1–4.49 Fórnir frá Egyptalandi 5.1–26.19 Boðun lögmálsins 5.1–10.22 Boðorðin tíu 11.1–26.19 Lög, reglur og viðvaranir 27.1–28.68 Fyrirmæli um sáttmálshátíð 29.1–30.20 Sáttmálinn endurnýjaður í Móab 31.1–33.29 Síðustu orð Móse 34.1−34.12 Móse deyr

Title: Prédikarinn
Author: Biblían
Narrator: Þóra Karítas Árnadóttir
Format: Unabridged
Length: 0:35:20
Language: Norwegian
Release date: 08-01-2024
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Summary:
Prédikarinn telst til spekirita Gamla testamentisins en er þó að mörgu leyti óháð hinni hefðbundnu spekistefnu og dregur í efa fjölmargar niðurstöður hennar. Raunar er efinn áberandi einkenni á boðskap Prédikarans. Prédikarinn hefur að ýmsu leyti sérstöðu meðal rita Gamla testamentisins. Hann hefur að geyma íhuganir, vangaveltur og spakmæli af ýmsu tagi. Bölsýni Prédikarans er óneitanlega í mótsögn við ríkjandi viðhorf í Gamla testamentinu, bæði hefðbundna guðfræði Gamla testamentisins og guðfræði annarra spekirita sem yfirleitt eru bjartsýnni. Boðskapur Pré-dikarans er mjög fjölbreytilegur og örðugt að koma auga á rauða þráðinn í ritinu. Efnislega er einkum fjallað um fánýti lífsins. Að formi til er ritið nær eingöngu í 1. persónu. Ritið er ein af hátíðar-bókum Gyðinga og er það lesið á laufskálahátíðinni, þegar fölvi haustsins færist yfir, og boðar fallvelti lífsins. Skipting ritsins 1.1–2.26 Allt er hégómi 3.1–11.7 Ýmiss konar ummæli um lífið 11.8–12.8 Ýmis ráð 12.9–12.14 Niðurlag

Title: Fyrsta Jóhannesarbréf
Author: Biblían
Narrator: Ragnheiður Steindórsdóttir

Summary:
Fyrsta Jóhannesarbréf er eignað Jóhannesi postula og guðspjallamanni enda minnir það sterklega á Jóhannesarguðspjall. Bréfið er ekki eiginlegt bréf heldur sambland af bréfi, ritgerð og prédikun. Höfundur varar við villukennendum og falsspámönnum sem komnir eru í söfnuðinn og hafna því að Jesús hafi verið raunverulegur maður (4.1−4.3). Gegn slíkum kenningum ítrekar höfundur að Guð hafi komið í heiminn sem maðurinn Jesús Kristur. Hann ræðir um hið nýja samfélag og hvaða afleiðingu þekkingin á Kristi, syni Guðs, hefur í daglegri breytni manna, að þeir eigi að sýna hver öðrum kærleika, vera Guðs börn. „Guð er kærleikur,“ segir í bréfinu (4.8 og 4.16) og trúin á hann á að móta allt líf þeirra sem honum fylgja (4.10−4.21). Í bréfinu eru notaðar myndir sem öllum eru tamar og andstæður eins og ljós − myrkur, líf − dauði, sannleikur − lygi, elska − hatur.
