Title: Poésie_François Villon par Serge Reggiani

Author: François Villon

Narrator: Serge Reggiani

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2017-01-01

Publisher: Compagnie du Savoir

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Né en 1432 et mort à une date incertaine, après 1463, François Villon est le poète du Moyen Age finissant. Tout en continuant à se servir des formes poétiques traditionnelles, il inaugure une novuelle attitude en poésie, inspirée à la fois par un esprit populaire et par le malheur et l'ironie d'une conscience individuelle. Dans le Lais et le Testament, Villon nous fait ainsi une confidence intime et réaliste ; il nous parle de lui et chante sa propre destinée, comme aucun poète ne l'avait encore fait ; il donne aux gens du menu peuple le prestige des héros d'une Chanson de Geste. Et la grand ville, sous sa plume, devient un Olympe, où les muses sont des filles de rue (Ballade des Dames de Paris). Mais ce poète est aussi un rêveur, qui agrémente des méditations sur la mort du souvenir de ces Dames du Temps Jadis, mi-réelles, mi-légendraires, qui sont la Nostalgie même. Quand cette agréable musique s'interrompt, Villon nous parle alors de la Mort sur ce mode tragique et familier, dont seul il a eu le secret et ce sont les plaintes infiniment bouleversantes de la Ballade des pendus, de ces pendus que nous sommes tous au gibet du temps. Villon, poète blanc et noir, a ainsi tissé de sarcasme, de désespoir et de tendresse, une tapisserie inimitable, où le Peuple devient une vivante mythologie. Mais, Villon c'est aussi une voix secrète et solitaire, qui chante son propre malheur, une voix moderne dont le prestige est celui de l'éternelle poésie. PS. Enregistrement original. Liste des poèmes : Le Lais (strophes 1 à 6) ; Ballade des Dames du temps jadis ; Ballade des pendus (Epitaphe Villon), Ballade des Femmes de Paris ; Mort, j'appelle de ta rigueur ; Le Testament (strophes 1 à 4 et 22 à 30). Au luth : Mildred Clary.

Title: Who Is That Man?: In Search of the Real Bob Dylan

Author: David Dalton

Narrator: Jeremy Arthur

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2016-12-06

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Arts & Entertainment, Art & Music

Publisher's Summary:

Now available as an audiobook and with a new foreword, a kaleidoscopic look at the many faces of Bob Dylan, legendary folk singer-songwriter and winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature.

For almost half a century, Bob Dylan has been a primary catalyst in rock's shifting sensibilities. Few American artists are as important, beloved, and endlessly examined, yet he remains something of an enigma. Who, we ask, is the real Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis Dylan, Jack Fate, or Living National Treasure? In Who Is That Man? David Dalton--cultural historian, journalist, screenwriter, and novelist--paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon, ingeniously exposing the three-card monte games he plays with his persona.

Guided by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and myth-debunking point of view, Who Is That Man? follows Dylan's imaginative life, integrating actual events with Dylan's words and those of the people who know him most intimately. Drawing upon Dylan's friends and fellow eyewitnesses--including Marianne Faithfull, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Stampfel , Larry Ratso Sloman, Eric Andersen, Nat Hentoff, Andrew Oldham, Nat Finkelstein, and others--this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged them both.

Publisher's Summary:

Victor (Viggi) Störteler betreibt ein einträgliches Speditions- und Warengeschäft und hat ein hübsches, gesundes und gutmütiges Weibchen. Er könnte zufrieden sein, doch fühlt er sich zu höherem berufen und widmet sich ohne Talent aber mit desto größerer Hingabe und Selbstüberschätzung der Schriftstellerei. Die gutmütige Gritli kann für die überdrehte Schreiberei ihres Mannes kein Verständnis aufbringen, dennoch bestimmt er sie zu seiner Muse und verfällt auf die Idee, ihr von einer Geschäftsreise salbungsvoll leidenschaftliche Liebesbriefe zu schreiben; diese soll sie in gleichem Sinne beantworten, auf dass er diesen Briefwechsel einmal in Buchform veröffentlichen könne. Gritli, die sich dieser Aufgabe nicht gewachsen sieht, findet in ihrer Not eine listige Lösung: sie schreibt die Briefe ihres Mannes säuberlich ab und lässt sie ihrem Nachbarn, dem schüchternen und schwärmerischen armen Unterlehrer Wilhelm zukommen. Dieser, von der heimlichen Liebe der Gritli ganz betört, schreibt ihr leidenschaftlich zurück, so dass Gritli diese Briefe nur wiederum abzuschreiben braucht, um ganz die von ihrem Manne gewünschten Antworten bereit zu haben. So meinen die beiden Männer, ihre Briefe jeweils an Gritli zu richten, schreiben sich jedoch letztlich gegenseitig die herzlichsten Liebesbeteuerungen. Doch kann das natürlich nicht lange gut gehen - während Wilhelm, durch Gritlis Briefe ermuntert, sich Hoffnungen macht, entdeckt Viggi bald Gritlis schändlichen Betrug... Eine Humoreske aus dem Zyklus Die Leute von Seldwyla; spannend und mit spitzer Feder erzählt. (Zusammenfassung von Karlsson)

Title: Dos al Hilo y otros Cuentos Eraticos

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2016-11-16

Publisher: Authors Republic

Genres: Erotica, Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

Este libro es la primera publicación en el género narrativo del autor y recopila cuentos y microcuentos, cuya temática común es el erotismo. El erotismo humano es considerado un tema fundamental de la literatura a lo largo de toda la historia de la humanidad. Para algunos, incluso, constituye un género o subgénero en las letras. Este texto incluye historias censurables, lujuriosas y que de otro modo debieran quedarse en el silencio o en el secreto más arcano. Pero los murmullos se hacen voces y las voces, cuentos, que se traspasan de boca en boca. Esa es la vocación del trovador o del cuentista, que no puede acallar los relatos porque suelen cobrar vida propia e insisten en superarle, en toda la dimensión de la palabra. Los personajes son develados, desnudados, impúdicamente en el presente libro, transformándose su intimidad en materia pública. Sus deseos, sus traumas, sus temores, sus incontrolables apetitos, sus traiciones, sus inconductas son tan expuestas como sus muslos, sus senos, sus fluidos, sus glúteos, sus gemidos y sus orgasmos.

Kendall explains that this is not so and reveals that a movement of the Holy Spirit, which is one hundred times greater than anything we have seen—indeed the greatest since Pentecost—is about to unfold.
