Von Berlin mit dem Auto um die Welt: über den Baikalsee, durch die Wüste Gobi und über die Anden. Eine Frau beweist, was sie kann. Clärenore Stinnes war die erste Frau, die mit dem Auto die Welt umrundete. Sie wuchs auf als eines von sieben Kindern und Tochter eines Großindustriellen. Schön früh interessierte sie sich für den Konzern, musste aber nach dem Tod des Vaters zugunsten ihrer Brüder darauf verzichten. Als sie 24 war, nahm sie zum ersten Mal an einem Autorennen teil und war schnell die erfolgreichste Rennfahrerin Europas.  Als Clärenore Stinnes am 25. Mai 1927 in ihrem Auto aufbricht, die Welt zu umrunden, ahnt sie nicht, was sie erwarten wird. Was sie weiß ist, dass sie es der Welt zeigen will, dass auch eine Frau ein waghalsiges Abenteuer bestehen kann. Zusammen mit ihrem Hund, zwei Technikern, einem Fotografen und etwas Proviant macht sie sich auf entlang einer damals sehr gefährlichen Route durch Syrien, über den zugefrorenen Baikalsee, durch die Wüste Gobi und über die Anden, wo sie sich der größten Herausforderung ihres Lebens stellen wird. Und sie findet mehr als ein Abenteuer. Sie begegnet dem Mann, der sie nicht nur um die Welt, sondern sogar bis ans Ende ihres Lebens begleiten wird.  Inspiriert von der beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichte der Clärenore Stinnes, eine Geschichte, die fasziniert und Mut macht. Eine Geschichte, die unbedingt gelesen werden sollte. Lassen Sie sich mitnehmen von der Frau, die mit dem Auto die Welt bereiste und am Ende die Liebe fand. »Ein Buch über eine sehr beeindruckende Frau, deren Leben Mut macht, die eigenen Pläne zu verwirklichen.« freundin

С предисловием Энни Леннокс, вокалистки легендарной британской группы Eurythmics. «Мы знаем его как Будду, 'Пробужденного', одного из величайших духовных лидеров в мире. Он был не богом, а обычным смертным по имени Сиддхартха Гаутама, родившимся 2500 лет назад на севере Индии. Он страдал так же, как мы, но сам нашел ключ к освобождению от пут желаний, ненависти и неведения. Как ему это удалось? Чему он научился? Если бы Будда был сейчас с нами, каким образом мы смогли бы объяснить те истины, которые он обнаружил? Прочтите эти страницы, и на целый час или больше мудрость Будды пребудет с вами, чтобы вы могли задать ему вопросы». (Джоан Дункан Оливер)

Title: Horses in the Sand: A Memoir Author: Lorrie Potvin Narrator: Cheri Maracle Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 6 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A sequel to First Gear: A Motorcycle Memoir, Horses in the Sand is a collection of stories that document a queer Métis woman’s journey from her sparse beginnings as a child to becoming a tradeswoman, teacher, and artist. With courage, humour, and frank honesty, the stories describe what it was like to grow up as a girl who was starkly different from 'normal' and how 'coming out' became a lifelong process of self-acceptance and changing identities. Potvin’s tales also speak to the difficulties in participating in and maintaining healthy adult relationships when childhood foundations are rooted in violence and trauma, culminating with a triumphant account of fulfilling a long-time dream of buying land and building a home with her own hands. Ultimately, this memoir is a celebration of making art, telling stories, and of finding her birth father, a family of half siblings, and an Indigenous community whose presence she had always felt, but to which she never knew she belonged.

Title: Ida Scudder: Healing Bodies, Touching Hearts Author: Janet And Geoff Benge Narrator: Rebecca Gallagher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 57 minutes Release date: March 17, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Ida stamped her foot. Her friends were wrong. "I will not be a missionary to India like my parents!" she retorted. "Don't any of you say I will be, because I won't -- never, ever, ever." Ida had never forgotten the faces of starving Indian children. She hated India -- it was full of horrible situations she could do nothing about. Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her medical missionary father. But when she witnessed Indian women dying because their religious beliefs didn't allow male doctors to treat them, Ida heard herself pray, "God, if You want me to, I will spend the rest of my life in India trying to help these women." Serving for nearly sixty years, Dr. Ida Scudder lived out the truth and compassion found in Christ. She pioneered a first-rate medical school and hospital, brought life-saving health care to rural people, and left an inspiring legacy that still touches missions of people each year with healing and hope.
