Lemberg, Odessa, Czernowitz, Kiew, Charkiw, Donezk und Dnipropetrowsk: All diese Namen stehen für einst blühende Städte, für eine Kultur von eigenem Rang.

Weltkriegs sind in Europa wieder Städte von der Auslöschung bedroht. In solchen Zeiten führen Karl Schlögels Städtebilder vor Augen, was gar nicht fern von uns auf dem Spiel steht.

Title: The Fighting Soul: On the Road with Bernie Sanders Author: Ari Rabin-Havt Narrator: Peter Berkrot Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The man behind the enigmatic progressive icon—an unparalleled and intimate account of Bernie Sanders from one of his most trusted confidants. Bernie Sanders inspires fervent love and, even among his enemies, a measure of grudging respect—yet, curiously, we know little about who the man really is, with Sanders deliberately keeping the focus on his policies. Now, with The Fighting Soul, Ari Rabin-Havt takes us where no profiles or televised interview have been able to go. As a close advisor and deputy campaign manager on Sanders's most recent—and likely last—presidential campaign, the tireless Rabin-Havt spent more hours between 2017 and 2020 with the Vermont senator than anyone else. Traveling the country for rallies and to support striking workers, the two visited thirty-six states, drove tens of thousands of miles, and ate in countless chain restaurants. One result was a meteoric and galvanizing presidential campaign. Another is The Fighting Soul, an unforgettable chronicle of life on the road with Sanders and the first in-depth portrait of this fiercely independent, and famously private, left-wing firebrand.

Author: Morvan Lallouet, Jan Matti Dollbaum, Ben Noble Narrator: Rob Heaps Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A fascinating account of Russia's famous dissident and the politics he embodies. Who is Alexei Navalny? Poisoned in August 2020 and transported to Germany for treatment, the politician returned to Russia in January 2021 in the full glare of the world media. His immediate detention at passport control set the stage for an explosive showdown with Vladimir Putin. But Navalny means very different things to different people. To some, he is a democratic hero. To others, he is betraying the Motherland. To others still, he is a dangerous nationalist. Navalny explores the many dimensions of his political life, from his pioneering anti-corruption investigations to his ideas and leadership of a political movement. It also looks at how his activities and the Kremlin's strategies have shaped one another. Navalny makes sense of this divisive character, revealing the contradictions of a man who is the second most important political figure in Russia—even when behind bars. In order to understand modern Russia, you need to understand Alexei Navalny.

Februar... und der Himmel war nicht mehr blau: Things that just make sense in a bomb shelter Author: @valerisssh, Valeria Shashenok Narrator: Maja Maneiro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 2 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: 50 Mio. TikTok Views: die wahre Geschichte 'Als Russland mein Land, die Ukraine, überfiel, flüchteten meine Eltern, mein Hund und ich in einen mir mehr als skurril erscheinenden Bombenschutzkeller. Und weil es dort WLAN gab und die Tage verdammt lange und auch langweilig waren, postete ich Videos, die mein neues Zuhause vorstellen sollten – manche davon gingen dann sogar um die Welt.  Aber meine Geschichte ist eigentlich eine ganz andere: Es ist die eines jungen Mädchens voll mit großen Träumen, das die Welt entdecken wollte und den Krieg für einen schlechten Scherz hielt. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem ich erkennen musste, dass ich mittendrin bin im größten Alptraum meines Lebens.'  Valeria beschließt, der Welt ihre Heimatstadt Tschernihiw zu zeigen und die wahren Geschichten zu erzählen. Es sind Bilder und Geschichten, die wir uns alle im 21. Jahrhundert mitten in Europa nicht vorstellen konnten und wollten. Und das Grauen endet nicht einmal mit ihrer Flucht nach Mailand, denn dort angekommen, holen Putins Bomben sie ein und treffen sie mitten ins Herz. 'It is horrible when you hear bombs, but you can't do anything – you are just a toy.' Neben Mut und Tapferkeit ist es vielleicht der Humor, der tief berührt, da er für einen Hauch Normalität und Lebensfreude in der Tragödie spricht. So verliert die Ödnis eines Luftschutzbunkers ein wenig ihren Schrecken. n-tv

Title: [Spanish] - Mi vida en la transición: 40 años en la democracia mexicana Author: Demetrio Sodi Narrator: René García Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 19, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: En un momento en el que se ha reconfigurado todo el mapa político del país, resulta imprescindible recordar la historia de la transición en México, para entender que no existen soluciones mágicas y que ignorar lo avanzado durante años puede representar un retroceso generacional. Decía Julio Scherer García que para entender la historia hay que analizar a los protagonistas. Y esta obra hace justamente eso: Demetrio Sodi, uno de los mayores conocedores de la política mexicana desde hace décadas, nos guía por los salones y los despachos donde se ha decidido la vida del país durante los últimos 40 años. Sodi de la Tijera —quien ha sido jefe delegacional, diputado, senador y activista, entre otros— nos cuenta los entresijos de las negociaciones, las tensiones ocultas, las amenazas, las razones hondas y las anécdotas más reveladoras. En un viaje que va desde Echeverría hasta LópezObrador, retrata a Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, López Portillo, Carlos Salinas, el sub Marcos y buena parte de la clase que hoy gobierna.

Title: The 56: Liberty Lessons From Those Who Risked All to Sign The Declaration of Independence Author: Douglas Mackinnon Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 47 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Read why the historical account of the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence and the story behind the 4th of July are so critically important … before they and the 4th of July are banned from American society.The urgent need to honor the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence came to Douglas MacKinnon, fittingly enough, on the 4th of July.While doing research for a column meant to remind the American people of that date’s critical importance, he came across example after example of those from the Left and the Far-Left—be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists—calling for not only the “canceling” of the 4th of July, but the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers.One overriding thought then filled his mind:“What if they are successful?”Those who believe such totalitarian censorship could never come to be in the United States of America need only review how quickly and brutally many on the Left were able to create the “Woke Cancel Culture” to silence those they oppose today.Now they come for Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Franklin and others who courageously signed The Declaration of Independence.That document and those men created our history. History which should never bebent, twisted, censored, or banned to fit any ideological narrative. If it is good, let us praise it. If it is bad, let us condemn it and learn from it. But let us never twist, censor, or cancel it.And yet, more and more followers of the Left want to do just that. As they control the media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine … who is to stop them?Time is of the essence. We must find our voices. The 56 left the blueprint: Liberty.

Kidd Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: May 10, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A revelatory new biography of Thomas Jefferson, focusing on his ethical and spiritual life Thomas Jefferson was arguably the most brilliant and inspiring political writer in American history. But the ethical realities of his personal life and political career did not live up to his soaring rhetoric. Indeed, three tensions defined Jefferson’s moral life: democracy versus slavery, republican virtue versus dissolute consumption, and veneration for Jesus versus skepticism about Christianity. In this book Thomas S. Kidd tells the story of Jefferson’s ethical life through the lens of these tensions, including an unapologetic focus on the issue where Jefferson’s idealistic philosophy and lived reality clashed most obviously: his sexual relationship with his enslaved woman Sally Hemings. In doing so, he offers a unique perspective on one of American history’s most studied figures.

Title: In Pursuit of Jefferson: Traveling Through Europe with the Most Perplexing Founding Father Author: Derek Baxter Narrator: William Sarris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 33 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A controversial founding father. A man ready for a change. And a completely unique trip through Europe. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson was a broken man. Reeling from the loss of his wife and stung from a political scandal during the Revolutionary war, he needed to remake himself. Wandering through Europe, Jefferson saw and learned as much as he could, ultimately bringing his knowledge home to a young America. There, he would rise to power and shape a nation. More than two hundred years later, Derek Baxter, a devotee of American history, stumbles on an obscure travel guide written by Jefferson—Hints for Americans Traveling Through Europe—as he's going through his own personal crisis. Who better to offer advice than a founding father himself? But what Baxter learns isn't always what Jefferson had in mind, and as he comes to understand Jefferson better, he doesn't always like what he finds. In Pursuit of Jefferson is at once the story of a life-changing trip through Europe, an unflinching look at a founding father, and a moving personal journey. With rich historical detail, a sense of humor, and boundless heart, Baxter explores how we can be better moving forward only by first looking back.
