Dieses Hörbuch ist kein Rezept gegen Krieg, aber es ist ein Schlüssel zum besseren Verstehen seiner Ursachen. Es liefert keine einfachen Antworten, aber es formuliert die richtigen Fragen. Und vielleicht ist das – im Sinne beider Autoren – bereits der wichtigste Schritt hin zu einer friedlicheren Welt: zu lernen, die Komplexität des Menschseins zu akzeptieren, den destruktiven Impulsen nicht nachzugeben, und den Glauben an das dialogische Potenzial der Menschheit nicht aufzugeben.

François-René, Vizconde de Chateaubriand es un escritor y político francés. Se le considera uno de los precursores del Romanticismo francés y uno de los grandes nombres de la literatura francesa. Sus descripciones de la naturaleza y su análisis de los sentimientos del "yo" lo convirtieron en un modelo para la generación de escritores románticos de Francia ("Quiero ser Chateaubriand o nada" proclamó el joven Victor Hugo). También fue el primero, en René, ou les Effets des passions (1802) en formular la "ola de pasiones".

These two great poems date from Shakespeare’s early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love - but he only wants to hunt boar. In the more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare draws on the Roman tale of the Emperor Tarquin’s desire for Lucrece and its tragic consequencies. These poems give prominent parts to the two heroines, and Clare Corbett and Eve Best shine.

Life was far from perfect after my mother's sudden death, but it was one I'd grown to love. And now, it's a life I'll never know again. Not after she and her two cruel sons entered our lives. My father swore he'd never love again, but just as suddenly as Merelda arrived, she became the very center of his world . . . and just as quickly, I was all but forgotten. Still, I did not complain . . . if only for my father's sake. Not even when cruel words turned into even crueler punishments at my new step family's hands.

A soul lost in a world of darkness that wants nothing more than to devour me. To claim me as its own before I have a chance to escape.

When Deliah moves abroad chasing freedom, she finds chaos instead — neon lights, dangerous men, and a love that burns too deep to survive. She never meant to fall for Jay, the charming, volatile boy who made her feel alive — or to lose herself in a world built on power, lust, and control. But when her path crosses with Damion, everything changes. Calm where others are cruel, dominant where others take — he forces her to confront what she truly craves, and what it might cost her to surrender.

Würde ist ein großer Begriff. Gleich in Artikel 1 des Grundgesetzes heißt es: "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar." Doch was genau ist Würde? Was bedeutet es, wenn uns unsere Würde genommen wird, weil wir etwa in der digitalen Welt nur noch als Datensatz zählen oder im Netz geschmäht werden? Wenn wir uns selbst würdelos verhalten oder andere entwürdigen?

The Hummingbird War follows events of Bicycles of the Gods, in which Jesus returns to earth with two celestial pals with a mandate to destroy the earth.

One might say this about monsters, but that would be a clumsy way of missing the point. The Werewolf Diaries is concerned, rather, with what happens when the self begins to fracture under the pressure of time, fear, and memory. The moon is present, yes, and the forest, and the sudden terror of teeth in the dark—but these are merely the outer garments of something far more intimate. Here the werewolf is not simply a creature that prowls; it is a consciousness divided against itself. By day, the mind arranges its thoughts neatly—work, love, regret, the steady ticking of ordinary hours.
