SindelarNarrator: Callie BeaulieuFormat: Unabridged AudiobookLength: 6 hours 19 minutesRelease date: November 5, 2024Genres: History & CulturePublisher's Summary: Ernest Hemingway's passion was writing, and he was inspired by a lifetime of daring adventures and encouraged by the many women in his life. His masculine, adventurous spirit appealed to women of all ages, including four wives and a long list of legendary actresses, and he frequently transformed the women in his life into memorable fictional characters. In 1950, Hemingway told Marlene Dietrich that he truly loved only five women. Who were these women and why did he love them? Some of them may have included his wives, but there were others too, among them Agnes von Kurowsky. Through quotations from his works and personal letters, Hemingway scholar Nancy W. Sindelar captures Hemingway's life and romantic adventures, revealing his own feelings about his romantic relationships and the ways his experiences with women appear in his literary works. Much has been written about Hemingway, but to date no book has linked the women he loved to his written work. The stories of Hemingway's romantic relationships reveal not only the influence these women had on his writing but also his personal ambition, heartbreak, and literary triumphs and trials. Sindelar's provocative analyses of Hemingway's literature give fresh insight into the life of a legendary author, outdoorsman, adventurer, and lover.

When her son was three, Brooke Boland was diagnosed with depression. She went back to find where it all started – the panic attacks, the dissociation – in the early days of motherhood. When she found it difficult to read or write. In this wide-ranging collection of essays Boland moves on from the person she was and writes to understand who she is now. She swims with sharks, falls in love with a rabbit, and watches her father fight for his life. She is a newcomer in a small regional town and a mother, but what else? She writes about family and friends, life and mortality, memory and forgetting, and along the way she finds her voice again. This book is for anyone who has felt unmoored. It is about the unremarkable in-between, the way we try to build a home from nothing, the dirty dishes and the loads of washing. The uncertainty and the love. But written in sparkling prose with a sly and wry tone that is illuminating about the everyday as it pitches for a rich and fulfilled life.

Ani Gjika was born in Albania and came of age just after the fall of Communism, a time when everyone had a secret to keep and young women were afraid to walk down the street alone. When her family immigrates to America, Gjika finds herself far from the grandmother who helped raise her, grappling with a new language, and isolated from aging parents who are trying in their own ways to survive. When she meets a young man whose mind leans toward writing, as hers does, Ani falls in love—at least, she thinks it's love. Set across Albania, Thailand, India, and the US, An Unruled Body is a young woman's journey to selfhood through the lenses of language, sexuality, and identity, and how she learns to find freedom of expression on her own terms.

We need this baby. You will see." With these words from her husband, Zoltán, Ibolya Rechnitzer's fear of being pregnant during the uncertainty of wartime is somewhat eased. But in November 1942, four months after their baby, Andy, is born, Zoltán is drafted into the forced labour service of the Hungarian army and Ibolya must cope, alone, as a single mother and a Jew facing persecution in Budapest. Her son gives her a reason to fight, and Ibolya protects him fiercely during the war and after, when she must make a crucial decision that will forever alter their lives. As Andy grows up in the shadow of the Holocaust and his mother's memories, he finds the remarkable courage to tell his own story and carry on his mother's legacy. Two memoirs in one, Stronger Together gives voice to both mother and son as they each reflect on their past, their losses and, above all, their optimism.

A great westward migration carried the Ojibwe people to the Point of Rocks. Against this backdrop—Misaabekong, the place of the giants—the lives chronicled in Linda LeGarde Grover's book unfold, some in myth, some in long-ago times, some in an imagined present, and some in the author's family history, all with a deep bond to the land, one another, and the Ojibwe culture. Their fortunes and the family's future are inextricably entwined with tales of marriages to voyageurs, relocations to reservation lands, encounters with the spirits of the lake and wood creatures, the renewal of life—in myth and in art, the search for meaning in the transformations of our day is always vital. Finally, in one man's struggles, age-old tribulations, the intergenerational traumas of extended families and communities, and a uniquely Ojibwe appreciation for the natural and spiritual worlds converge, forging the Ojibwe worldview and will to survive as his legacy to his descendants. Blending the seen and unseen, the old and the new, the amusing and the tragic and the hauntingly familiar, this lyrical work encapsulates a way of life forever vibrant at the Point of Rocks.

The totem pole forms the foundation for this unique and important oral history of Canada. Its goal is both toweringly ambitious and beautifully direct: To tell the story of this country in a way that prompts readers to look from different angles, to see its dimensions, its curves, and its cuts. To see that history has an arc, just as the totem pole rises, but to realize that it is also in the details along the way that important meanings are to be found. To recognize that the story of the past is always there to be retold and recast, and must be conveyed to generations to come. That in the act of re-telling, meaning is found, and strength is built. When it comes to telling the history of Canada, and in particular the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, we need to accept that the way in which our history has traditionally been told has not been a common or shared enterprise. In many ways, it has been an exclusive and siloed one. Among the countless peoples and groups that make up this vast country, the voices and experiences of a few have too often dominated those of many others. Reconciling History shares voices that have seldom been heard, and in this ground-breaking book they are telling and re-telling history from their perspectives. Born out of the oral history in True Reconciliation, and complemented throughout with stunning photography and art, Reconciling History takes this approach to telling our collective story to an entirely different level.

Perdurabo—entitled after the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—traces Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world's foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself); is attacked for his practice of "the black arts"; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day. Based on Richard Kaczynski's twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.

Lamon, a lawyer and former law partner of Lincoln, had a unique vantage point, accompanying him through critical periods of his life, including his presidency. Known for his loyalty and blunt honesty, Lamon sheds light on Lincoln's personality, quirks, and struggles, portraying him not just as a revered leader but as a complex, deeply human figure. The book reveals intimate moments, including Lincoln's moods, personal habits, and bouts of melancholy, along with anecdotes about his humor and kindness. Lamon also provides insights into Lincoln's relationships with colleagues, his evolving stance on slavery, and the weight of responsibility he carried during the Civil War. Unlike more formal biographies, these recollections offer an unpolished, raw perspective that sometimes challenges the idealized image of Lincoln. Lamon's account is significant because it comes from someone within Lincoln's inner circle, presenting a version of the president based on friendship and firsthand experience. Though not without controversy—some criticized Lamon for being too critical or unfiltered—the book remains a valuable contribution to understanding Lincoln as a man, not just a mythic figure. Narrated by Emmy-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Sycthe.

Beide teilten zunächst eine kritische Perspektive auf den Kapitalismus und die bürgerliche Gesellschaft und verbanden die Theorien von Karl Marx mit den Ideen der Psychoanalyse von Sigmund Freud. Sie beschäftigten sich mit der Frage, wie menschliche Freiheit und Autonomie innerhalb einer repressiven Gesellschaft erreicht werden könne. Erich Fromm (1900-1980) wurde in Frankfurt am Main geboren und wuchs in enger Verbindung zur jüdischen Orthodoxie auf. Ein frühes Jura-Studium in der Heimatstadt brach er zugunsten der Talmud-Studien in Freiburg ab. Dort kam er über Frieda Reichmann in Kontakt zur Psychoanalyse und fand seine Passion als Psychoanalytiker, Sozialpsychologe und Philosoph. Anfang der 1930 trat er in den Kreis um das 1923 in Frankfurt am Main gegründete Institut für Sozialforschung (IfS) ein und wurde von einem begeisterten Max Horkheimer eingestellt. Zusammen mit dem IfS emigrierte er Mitte der 1930er Jahre wegen der eminenten Bedrohung durch die Nationalsozialisten nach New York City, wo er zusammen mit Herbert Marcuse an den 'Studien über Autorität und Familie' arbeitete. Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) wurde in Berlin geboren, absolvierte das 'Notabitur' und wurde in den Kriegsdienst im kaiserlichen Heer berufen. Nach Kriegsende war er kurzzeitig im Soldatenrat und in der SPD tätig und wechselte zugunsten eines Philosophie- und Germanistik Studiums an die Universität Berlin. Später kehrte er nach Freiburg zurück, um vergeblich bei Martin Heidegger zu habilitieren und etablierte sich als einflussreicher Philosoph, Soziologe und Politologe. Herbert Marcuse kam erst 1932 in die Peripherie des Frankfurter IfS und arbeitete für die neu eingerichtete Zweigstelle in Genf. Später in New York wurde er zum vollen Mitglied. Fromm und Marcuse trennten sich beide vom IfS aus unterschiedlichen Gründen. Fromm brach mit allen, Marcuse verblieb in relativ regem Kontakt. Erich Fromm wurde 1956 mit dem internationalen Bestseller 'Die Kunst des Liebens' zum berühmtesten aller IfS-Affiliierten, wohingegen Herbert Marcuse ein Jahr zuvor mit 'Triebstruktur und Gesellschaft' das erste von drei Manifesten der zukünftigen Studentenprotestbewegung verfasste. Ab den 1950er Jahren distanzierten sich beide zunehmend voneinander. Marcuse kritisierte Fromm offen und warf ihm vor, zu stark auf individuelle psychologische Veränderungen zu setzen und die politische Revolution zu vernachlässigen. Fromm seinerseits hielt Marcuses radikale Ansichten für zu extrem und war der Meinung, dass eine solche Revolution die humanistischen Werte, die er vertrat, gefährden könnte. Zur gleichen Zeit trugen beide einen öffentlichen Disput über das Dissent-Magazin aus, der ihre Ablehnung zementierte. Marcuse avancierte zu einem der wichtigsten Unterstützer der 1968er-Protestbewegung. Herbert Marcuse schied im Jahre 1979 an einem Schlaganfall aus dem Leben, Erich Fromm folgte ihm nur ein Jahr später. Das Hörbuch liest der Opernsänger, Schauspieler und erfahrene Sprecher Michael Seeboth mit ausdrucksstarker Stimme.

Der deutsche Philosoph Friedrich Nietzsche wurde am 15. Oktober 1844 in Röcken bei Lützen nahe Leipzig geboren und starb am 25. August 1900 in Weimar. Er wuchs in einer streng religiösen Familie auf und zeigte früh eine außergewöhnliche intellektuelle Begabung. Nietzsche studierte zunächst Theologie und klassische Philologie an der Universität Bonn, bevor er zur Universität Leipzig wechselte. Mit nur 24 Jahren wurde er Professor für klassische Philologie an der Universität Basel und pflegte eine enge Freundschaft zum Komponisten Richard Wagner. Aufgrund gesundheitlicher Probleme gab er 1879 sein Lehramt auf. Reisen durch Europa und längere Aufenthalte in Italien brachten zwar Erholung, dennoch umgab ihn in seinen letzten Lebensjahre geistige Umnachtung. Nietzsches Werk ist geprägt von radikaler Kritik an der abendländischen Philosophie und den Moralvorstellungen der christlichen Religion. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken gehören 'Die Geburt der Tragödie', 'Also sprach Zarathustra', 'Jenseits von Gut und Böse' und 'Zur Genealogie der Moral'. Mittels späterer Werke wie 'Die fröhliche Wissenschaft', 'Der Antichrist' und 'Ecce Homo' erneuerte Nietzsche seine scharfe Kritik an der christlichen Religion und der Kultur des Bildungsbürgertums, welches im berühmten Nietzsche-Zitat gipfelt: 'Gott ist tot' . Nietzsches Schwester Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche trug durch selektive Herausgabe und Bearbeitung seiner Werke dazu bei, dass Nietzsche fälschlicherweise als einer der Vordenker der nationalsozialistischen Wahnideologie betrachtet wurde. Unbenommen bleibt er eine zentrale Figur der modernen Philosophiegeschichte und sein Einfluss erstreckt sich auf zahlreiche Bereiche. Der Komponist Gustav Mahler vertonte Textstellen und der Schriftsteller Thomas Mann thematisierte Nietzsches Denken im Roman 'Doktor Faustus'. Auch Jean-Paul Sartre und Albert Camus bezogen sich in ihren Werken auf Nietzsches Ideen. Michel Foucault und Jacques Derrida integrierten Nietzsches Kritik an der westlichen Kultur und der Metaphysik in ihre eigenen Theorien. Nietzsches Schriften haben die Art und Weise, wie wir über Macht, Kirche, Moral sowie das Individuum nachdenken, tiefgreifend verändert. Sein Gedankengut, insbesondere seine Betonung des individuellen Willens und der schöpferischen Kraft des Menschen, inspiriert weiterhin Philosophen, Künstler und Intellektuelle weltweit.

Schopenhauer entwickelte eine Philosophie, die Erkenntnistheorie, Metaphysik, Ästhetik und Ethik miteinander verband und betrachtete sich selbst als Schüler und Vollender Immanuel Kants. Arthur Schopenhauer, ein deutscher Philosoph, wurde am 22. Februar 1788 in Danzig geboren. Sein Vater, Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer, war ein wohlhabender Kaufmann, während seine Mutter, Johanna Schopenhauer, als Schriftstellerin bekannt war. Schon früh entwickelte Arthur eine problematische Beziehung zu seiner Mutter, die sein Leben und Werk beeinflusste. Schopenhauer begann 1809 sein Studium an der Universität Göttingen, wo ihn vor allem die Werke von Immanuel Kant und Platon prägten. Kants 'Kritik der reinen Vernunft' beeinflusste ihn maßgeblich und legte den Grundstein für seine spätere Philosophie. 1811 wechselte er an die Universität Berlin, wo er Vorlesungen bei Johann Gottlieb Fichte und Friedrich Schleiermacher hörte. Fichtes Idealismus lehnte Schopenhauer jedoch ab. 1813 promovierte Schopenhauer mit seiner Dissertation 'Über die vierfache Wurzel des Satzes vom zureichenden Grunde'. Dieses Werk legte die Grundlage für sein späteres Hauptwerk 'Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung', das er ab 1814 in Dresden verfasste und 1819 veröffentlichte. In diesem Werk entwickelte Schopenhauer die Idee, dass der Wille das zentrale Prinzip der Existenz sei und alles Leben antreibe. In den folgenden Jahren lebte Schopenhauer in Berlin, wo er Vorlesungen hielt, die jedoch wenig Beachtung fanden. Er zog sich zunehmend aus dem öffentlichen Leben zurück und verließ 1831 seine Geliebte Caroline Medon und Berlin, um der Cholera-Epidemie zu entgehen und zog nach Frankfurt am Main. Der scheue, pessimistische und frauenmeidende Schopenhauer unternahm Bildungsreisen nach Italien und in die Schweiz. In den 1830er und 1840er Jahren verfasste er mehrere kleinere Schriften, darunter 'Über den Willen in der Natur' und 'Die beiden Grundprobleme der Ethik'. Besonders 'Parerga und Paralipomena', welche 1851 erschien, brachte ihm späte Anerkennung. Besonders die klugen 'Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit' trugen zur Popularität seiner Philosophie bei. Schopenhauers Philosophie beeinflusste wichtige Pioniere wie Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Wagner und Sigmund Freud. Nietzsche sah in Schopenhauer einen 'Erzieher', der ihn über den Pessimismus hinausführte, während Wagner Schopenhauers Vorstellung des 'Weltwillens' in seiner eigenen Musik wiederfand. Freud nutzte Schopenhauers Konzept des unbewussten Willens zur Entwicklung seiner Psychoanalyse. Arthur Schopenhauer starb am 21. September 1860 in Frankfurt am Main. Posthum erlangte sein Werk große Anerkennung und beeinflusste nachhaltig die Philosophie, Literatur, Musik und Psychologie. Seine pessimistische Weltsicht und die Betonung des Leidens als Grundkonstante des Lebens machten ihn zu einem der bedeutendsten Philosophen der Moderne.

The gap widened as Reid's classes enabled him to pursue an elite college degree across the country studying educational opportunity and teaching. Then, Reid became a teacher at an under-resourced South Carolina high school where efforts to serve the incredible students were stymied by internal segregation and administrative ambivalence. After Reid assigned students a project to create a positive change, they pushed him to figure out how he, too, could make a bigger difference. Reid learned firsthand that a community of people powered by data can effect change. This lesson motivated him to found Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS), a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to finding the students who were overlooked, discouraged, or otherwise missing from higher-level classes. As EOS became more successful, partnering with major philanthropies, universities, and even the White House, Reid grappled with his role as a leader. Informed by extensive new data on educational opportunity in America, The Kid Across the Hall is a powerful story of learning and unlearning; of leading and learning to follow.

Patriot is the exhilarating life story of one of the most fearless and inspiring figures of our time, who became a beacon to millions and the sole political threat to Vladimir Putin. This is Alexei Navalny's life in his own words: his Soviet childhood, political awakening, his marriage and beloved family, his total commitment to taking on a corrupt regime and his enduring love of Russia and its people. His 2020 poisoning by the Russian security services was a global news event. In 2024 he died in a brutal Siberian prison. He began writing Patriot whilst recovering from his poisoning; it ends with his prison diaries, seen here for the first time. We witness the growth of his nationwide support. We see his many arrests and harassment and, in stunning detail, the attempt on his life. We understand why he felt he had to return to Russia. In prison, he shows a spirit and a sense of humour that cannot be crushed. Patriot is as dramatic as its author's life –passionate that good and freedom will prevail.It is Alexei Navalny's final letter to the world, a rousing call to continue his work, an unforgettably positive account of a life that will inspire every reader. © Alexei Navalny 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024
