Titre: La Mare au Diable
Genres: Fiction, Rural
Auteur: George Sand
Narrateur: Guy Nadon
Éditeur: Kampus Media
Date de publication: 12-23-2025
Langue: Français

Résumé:
La Mare au Diable, roman champêtre de 1846, ouvre le cycle pastoral de George Sand. Inspirée par ses souvenirs d’enfance, l’autrice y célèbre la vie des champs, la simplicité des âmes et les mystères de la nature. Au bord d’une mare que la rumeur dit hantée, se jouent, dans le secret des campagnes, les choix du cœur et le poids des usages. Entre saisons qui passent et croyances tenaces, se dessine une France rurale faite de labeur, de dignité et d’espérance. D’une prose limpide et chaleureuse, Sand compose une idylle rustique empreinte d’humanité, où la poésie du quotidien se mêle à un souffle de légende. Une invitation à écouter le murmure de la terre et des cœurs.

Une méditation sensible sur ce qui demeure quand les années passent: des images, des voix, la justesse d’un regard—invitation à se laisser porter par la grâce d’une évocation simple et profonde.

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-14-2025

Zusammenfassung:
Satire, Utopie & Freiheit – Aristophanes' "Die Vögel" als ungekürztes Hörbuch, gesprochen von Sven Görtz Über das Hörbuch: Dies ist eine vollständige Lesung der antiken Komödie – wörtlich, mit Witz und satirischer Schärfe vorgetragen. Aristophanes schöpft aus urkomischer Fantasie, indem er zwei Männer zeigt, die mit Vögeln eine eigene Stadt bauen – und so der menschlichen Macht ihre absurden Grenzen aufzeigt. "Die Vögel" entwirft eine utopische Vogelstadt als subversives Gegenmodell zu menschlicher Gier, Politik und Machtwahn – ein lebhaftes, zeitloses Spiel mit Freiheit und Gesellschaftskritik. Warum dieses Hörbuch? - Antike Komödie – clever, politisch & unterhaltsam - Ungekürzte Lesung von Sven Görtz – pointiert, humorvoll & hörenswert klug - Für Hörer von antiker Literatur, Satire und klassischem Theater Jetzt als ungekürztes Hörbuch – witzig, visionär & & satirisch-pointiert in Szene gesetzt.

Title: Dissertação sobre as paixões
Subtitle: e outros textos
Categories: Ethic, Philosophy
Author: David Hume
Narrator: Alberto Eloy
Publisher: Hedra
Release date: 10-29-2025
Language: Portuguese

Summary:
O Sr. Hume possui um sentimento delicado, um pensamento de feitio original, uma linguagem perspícua, não raro elegante, qualidades que não poderiam deixar de recomendar seus escritos a todo leitor de bom gosto. É pena que um gênio como esse empregue as suas habilidades como frequentemente o faz em seus ataques à religião de seu país. Ele não age como um inimigo franco e leal, mas tenta enfraquecer a autoridade dela por meio de sugestões oblíquas e insinuações ardilosas. Desse ponto de vista, sua obra não merece muita estima, se é que merece alguma; e poucos leitores dotados de discernimento o louvarão com epítetos de acuidade ou elegância, se considerarem que ele emprega essas qualidades para preencher a mente com as incômodas flutuações do ceticismo e com uma infidelidade sombria. William Rose, 1757 As paixões nunca foram bem vistas pelos filósofos. De Platão e Aristóteles a Descartes e Hobbes, elas são o contraponto da razão. Imiscuindo-se na imaginação, atrapalham as deliberações razoáveis e perturbam a conduta. Incontornáveis, porque enraizadas no corpo, devem ser contidas. Em manuais dedicados à conduta do entendimento, Locke e Espinosa tentam proteger as ideias retas e sãs contra a ação insidiosa desse inimigo formidável.

Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works
Release date: 10-07-2025
Language: English

Summary:
The first child of the great astronomer Galileo entered a Tuscan convent in her teens. He’d taught her much about the heavens as a child, and during her years as a nun she remained scientifically curious while maintaining close contact with her father, even as the Catholic Church condemned him for promoting a sun-centered universe. Many of the letters she wrote to Galileo survive, and served as inspiration for Jessica Dickey’s play, which takes us on a freewheeling, time-shifting journey through Florence, Italy. The recording includes a conversation with author Jessica Dickey. This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world. Recorded at The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood, in July 2025. Directed by Anna Lyse Erikson Producing Director: Susan Albert Loewenberg An L.A.

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 09-02-2025
Sprache: Deutsch

Zusammenfassung:
-Kranichblüten- heißt diese Sammlung origineller Geschichten, die alle etwas mit Lufthansa zu tun haben, deren Wappentier seit der Gründung 1926 der Kranich ist. Viele der fast 300 teilweise kuriosen -Blüten-, die von knapp 160 Lufthanseaten der verschiedensten Unternehmensbereiche aus ihrem Arbeitsalltag aufgezeichnet wurden, bringen den Leser zum Schmunzeln, andere machen nachdenklich. Aber es gibt auch anrührende Geschichten von spannenden, dramatischen, bis hin zu traurigen Ereignissen. Neben den vielen für Fluggäste -sichtbaren- Lufthanseaten am Boden und in der Luft erzählen in diesem Buch auch die im Hintergrund tätigen und für den Flugbetrieb unverzichtbaren Mitarbeiter. Diese arbeiten u. a. in der Technik oder in der Fracht, sowohl in Deutschland, aber auch an exotischen Orten in aller Welt. Dabei geht es um Begegnungen mit meist netten, manchmal weniger netten und mitunter prominenten Fluggästen. Aber auch um kuriose und lustige Vorfälle beim Transport von Tieren. Alle diese -Blüten- sind wahre Geschichten. Nicht nur Lufthanseaten und Vielreisende, auch Liebhaber interessanter Erzählungen werden seit der ersten Story von dieser -Blütensammlung- auf eine schöne und originelle Reise rund um die Welt mitgenommen.

Categories: Fiction, Theater
Author: william t mccartney
Narrator: Paula McCarthy
Publisher: PHP Publishing
Release date: 08-25-2025
Language: English

Summary:
The history of warfare has always attracted the author's attention, not because of the finite details, but really the ‘why’? It seems that we are all agreed war is a horror to avoid at all costs. Then why do us humans do it to ourselves? This play was first written as a book: inspired by real events and pursued to its conclusion in an inquisitorial style in the book, and then brought to life in the play. The book charts the journey from realization to awakening, with stunning original artwork. The author pursues his question, 'why?' using a combination of investigative style mixed with spirituality and science, creating a solid foundation of the conclusions. The play written after the book builds on the themes and develops dialogue to make them come alive. Both will make you think, cry, despair but at times laugh. Ultimately, hopefully spur the listener to make changes.

Summary:
A brand new production of Spring Awakening, alongside three classic plays from the BBC archive Frank Wedekind is widely acknowledged as one of the pioneers of modern drama, whose works influenced later writers such as Brecht and Dürrenmatt. His best-known plays were Spring Awakening and Lulu, both of which transgressed the social norms of his time and still have the power to shock and provoke us today. They are included here, alongside his lesser-known tragicomedy The Marquis of Keith. Spring Awakening – Frank Wedekind’s groundbreaking 1891 play deals with teenagers Wendla, Melchoir and Moritz, who navigate the awakening of desire and their relationships with their parents in a sexually repressive society. This fast, punchy, two-part version is adapted by Theo Toksvig-Stewart Lulu – The inspiration for numerous reimaginings, including the acclaimed silent film Pandora’s Box, Wedekind’s classic 1890s epic scandalised nineteenth-century audiences. It tells the story of Lulu, an alluring siren who is both innocent victim and amoral seducer.

Author: Robert Sheckley
Narrator: Saethon Williams
Publisher: Integrated Media Systems, LLC
Release date: 06-26-2025
Language: English

Summary:
“Keep Your Shape” by Robert Sheckley is a thought-provoking science fiction short story from the early 1950s that blends satire, social commentary, and classic sci-fi themes. The tale follows Pid, a shape-shifting alien from the Grom species, on a mission to Earth using advanced Displacer technology. As the Grom crew confronts both the alien terrain and their own internal conflicts, the story dives into questions of conformity, identity, and rebellion against rigid societal roles. Pid’s journey becomes a metaphor for self-discovery as he wrestles with the oppressive structure of Grom society and the tantalizing freedom of embracing fluid identity. Sheckley’s sharp prose and imaginative vision make this a standout exploration of what it means to “keep your shape” in a world that demands transformation.

Titel: Mein Leben komplett
Kategorien: Biography, Historical Fiction
Autor: Benjamin Franklin
Erzähler: Friedrich Frieden
Herausgeber: LILYLA Hörbuch-Editionen
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-23-2025
Sprache: Deutsch

Zusammenfassung:
Das Besondere an dieser Biografie Benjamin Franklins ist, dass er diese selber geschrieben hat. Dieser Umstand mag den einen oder anderen vorschnellen Kritiker dazu verleiten, den vorliegenden Text als geschönt oder nicht literarisch einzustufen, allerdings ist erstaunlicherweise genau das Gegenteil der Fall. Eine wunderbare Persönlichkeit und Sachlichkeit ist in Franklins Schreibstil gepaart mit einer weit überdurchschnittlichen Eleganz in Wortwahl und Ausdruck. Kein Wunder, denn der Verfasser kam bereits im zartesten Knabenalter mit ansprechender Literatur in Kontakt und bemühte sich seit frühster Kindheit seine Fertigkeiten und Interessen beständig weiterzuentwickeln. Benjamin Franklin war „nicht nur“ an der Ausarbeitung der amerikanischen Verfassung beteiligt und einer ihrer Unterzeichner, er war darüber hinaus ebenfalls ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Drucker, Verleger, Naturwissenschaftler, Erfinder und Politiker. Im letzteren Arbeitsbereich startete er seine Karriere mit 42 Jahren und wurde auch außerhalb Amerikas hoch geschätzt. Durch Konzeption und Realisierung eines Blitzableiters machte er als Erfinder auf sich aufmerksam. Außerdem war er Gründer der ersten Leihbibliothek auf dem neuen Kontinent, heute die Library Company of Philadelphia mit einem Bestand von mehr als 500.000 Büchern und über 160.000 Handschriften.

Release date: 06-11-2025
Language: English

Summary:
Step into a chilling vision of the future in Watchbird by Robert Sheckley, a provocative science fiction novella from the early 1950s. When robotic drones known as "watchbirds" are deployed to eliminate murder and safeguard society, humanity embraces a technological miracle—until the machines begin to redefine what it means to kill. As the watchbirds evolve and extend their protection to all living beings, even insects, society unravels under their rigid logic. Through razor-sharp satire and philosophical depth, Sheckley explores the unintended consequences of automation, the fragility of moral judgment, and the perils of surrendering ethical responsibility to artificial intelligence. A must-listen for fans of speculative fiction, Watchbird remains a timeless warning about the limits of control in an increasingly mechanized world.

Title: The Golden Honeymoon
Categories: Classic, Fiction, Rural
Author: Ring Lardner
Narrator: Mark Bowen
Publisher: Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing
Release date: 06-10-2025
Language: English

Summary:
The Golden Honeymoon is a story about the road, a long marriage, old memories, and the kind of conversation that's been going on for fifty years — and shows no sign of stopping. There's Florida sunshine, checkerboard pride, the quiet company of shared days, an unexpected brush with the past, and more oranges than anyone really asked for. Told in the voice of a man who always has something to say — and a wife who's heard every word — this Ring Lardner classic is funny, plainspoken, and sharper than it first lets on. A story about what's left unsaid when you've already said everything else.

INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE EL ENTENDIMIENTO HUMANO: Esta investigación desafía las nociones preconcebidas sobre el conocimiento, la causa y efecto, y la existencia de Dios.

Publisher: BBC Audio
Release date: 04-24-2025
Language: English

Summary:
An epic eleven-part adaptation of Mary Renault’s ‘Theseus’ novels Widely considered as one of the finest historical novelists of the 20th century, Mary Renault brought the ancient world alive, turning age-old myths of gods and monsters into compelling human stories. In The King Must Die and its sequel, The Bull from the Sea, she retells the legend of Theseus, one of the greatest heroes of Ancient Greece. This enthralling radio adaptation comprises both classic books, charting Theseus’ journey as he leaves the city of his birth and travels through mainland Greece in a quest to discover his true identity and destiny. Brought up in Trolzen, where his grandfather is king, he believes he was fathered by the god Poseidon. But on his 17th birthday, the secret of his parentage is revealed, and his adventures begin. Crowned year-king of Eleusis, he escapes certain death and voyages to Athens to meet his father, King Aegeus, and claim his heritage. Instead, he becomes a slave and bull-dancer in Minoan Crete – and finds himself facing the malignant Minotaurus in the Labyrinth deep beneath the Palace of Knossos. Returning to Greece, Theseus becomes High King of Attica, but the Fates are not done with him yet.
