Title: Hollywood Enigma Subtitle: Dana Andrews, Hollywood Legends Author: Carl Rollyson Narrator: John Stamper Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 11-26-14 Publisher: Carl Rollyson Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Dana Andrews (1909-1992) worked with distinguished directors such as John Ford, Lewis Milestone, Otto Preminger, Fritz Lang, William Wyler, William A. Wellman, Mervyn Le Roy, Jean Renoir, and Elia Kazan. He played romantic leads alongside the great beauties of the modern screen, including Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Merle Oberon, Linda Darnell, Susan Hayward, Maureen O'Hara, and most important of all, Gene Tierney, with whom he did five films. Retrospectives of his work often elicit high praise for an underrated actor, a master of the minimalist style. His image personified the "male mask" of the 1940s in classic films such as Laura, Fallen Angel, and Where the Sidewalk Ends, in which he played the "masculine ideal of steely impassivity." No comprehensive discussion of film noir can neglect his performances. He was an "actor's actor." Here at last is the complete story of a great actor, his difficult struggle to overcome alcoholism while enjoying the accolades of his contemporaries, a successful term as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and the love of family and friends that never deserted him. Based on diaries, letters, home movies, and other documents, this biography explores the mystery of a poor boy from Texas who made his Hollywood dream come true even as he sought a life apart from the limelight and the backbiting of contemporaries jockeying for prizes and prestige. Called "one of nature's noblemen" by his fellow actor Norman Lloyd, Dana Andrews emerges from Hollywood Enigma as an admirable American success story, fighting his inner demons and ultimately winning.

Tatsächlich hat der Weinbau die Gegend schon seit den Römern geprägt. Doch die Ausrichtung auf den Wein alleine zeugt auch davon, dass das Moselland wirtschaftlich seit Jahrhunderten im Schatten stand. Es litt bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg unter der Grenzlage zu Frankreich. Im Schatten des Kanonendonners tat sich diesseits und jenseits der Grenze die wirtschaftlich-industrielle Entwicklung schwer. Gottlob sagten Naturschützer heute. Denn so kann das Moseltal nach wie vor mit viel Natur aufwarten, geprägt vom südländischen anmutenden Klima. Allerdings gefährdet unter anderem gerade auch der moderne, technisierte Weinbau den Schutz der Natur. Porträt der Mosel und ihrer Landschaft in Form eines Reiseberichts von Koblenz über Trier bis in die französische Grenzstadt Thionville. Regie: Judith Lorenz. ©2004 SWR (P)2004 SWR

Ihre karge Freizeit fristen sie regelmäßig vor Kälte oder Angst zitternd an fremden und unbekannten Orten irgendwo da draußen. Der Comedy- und Fernsehpreisgewinner liebt romantische Kinofilme, züchtet Chihuahuas und designt in seiner Freizeit Damenhandtaschen für Versace. Das ist natürlich gelogen und soll nur diejenigen Frauen (und Männer) in unseren Bann ziehen, die bei dem Wort "Geocacher" noch nicht gleich zugegriffen haben. Tatsächlich berichten Bernhard und Tobi in diesem Hörbuch, wie sie für ihre "Schatzsuche" alpine Höhen erklimmen, in Schurkenstaaten reisen, die Welt mit Kreuzfahrtschiffen umrunden und lange verlassene Industrieanlagen, sogenannte "Lost Places", erkunden. Mit dieser Leidenschaft steht Bernhard Hoëcker nicht alleine da und so konnten wir Geocacher aus dem ganzen Land (nebst Österreichern und Eidgenossen) begeistern, ihre Erlebnisse mit uns zu teilen. Dieses Hörbuch vereint die besten Geschichten von nächtlichen Exkursionen, gewagten Hängepartien, finsteren Wäldern, geheimnisvollen Ruinen und Begegnungen der dritten Art - und lässt einen selbst die Tage humorvoll überstehen, an denen man mit einem DNF nach Hause zurückkehren muss. ©2014 traveldiary Verlag (P)2014 ABOD Verlag

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration Publisher's Summary: If castles, cuckoo clocks, and bell-laden cows dominate your image of the Alps, you are - like most travelers - missing out on one of Mother Nature's greatest gifts. It's a secret Europeans like to keep to themselves. In addition to its wealth of cultural sights, the European Alps offer a wider range of outdoor recreation than any other similarly-sized region in the world. Adventurers of all ages hike hut-to-hut on multi-day treks, skiers slide year-round on glacial slopes, and Sunday walkers stroll forested trails. Bikers loop icy blue lakes, and mountaineers scale up waterfalls and down canyon cliffs. Modern adventurers run the gamut from rich to poor, young to old, and native to transient foreigner. So take a look around. That bus driver. This tour guide. Your hotel concierge. They may just be showing you the Europe they think you want to see. Take a moment to ask how they spend their own free time - odds are that each will spend a day outdoors this weekend. Europeans cherish their wilderness areas, and none more so than the pristine forests of the Alps. Here is a guide to the best adventures in the mountainous regions of Switzerland. Based on experience gained through more than a decade of living in, traveling around, and writing about the Alps, we spotlight the best outdoor adventures. This is a guide that's ideally suited to on-the-go travelers who seek the best of the Alps - those sights and adventures most worthwhile, most easily reached, and most indicative of the Alpine experience. What all our readers have in common is this: the desire to experience rather than simply look at the Alps. Want to know where you should go? All the details are here!

Title: A Curious Career Author: Lynn Barber Narrator: Alison Larkin Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-14 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Lynn Barber, by her own admission, has always suffered from a compelling sense of nosiness. An exceptionally inquisitive child she constantly questioned everyone she knew about imitate details of their lives. This talent for nosiness, coupled with her unusual lack of the very English fear of social embarrassment, is the perfect blend for a celebrity interviewer. Barber takes us through her early career at Penthouse where she started out interviewing foot fetishists, voyeurs, dominatrices and men who liked wearing nappies, through her later more eminent career at the Telegraph, Sunday Express, Vanity Fair, Observer and Sunday Times. Barber has interviewed a huge cross-section of celebrities throughout her career; politicians, film stars, comedians, dancers and musicians, including Gore Vidal, Rudolph Nureyev, Lady Gaga, James Stewart and Dirk Bogarde to name but a few. Characterised by her witty and honest style, An Interviewing Life is full of glorious anecdotes such as the interview with Salvador Dali that was only supposed to last one day and ended up running into four at Dalis invitation, culminating in him gifting her a conical hat made of wax that he had originally designed for his wife to wear to fancy dress ball in the 1930s. Filled with transcripts of interview highlights, such as her infamous interview with the hilarious and spectacularly rude ratty old rock chick Marianne Faithfull, and the interview with Rafael Nadal which infuriated his fans so much Barber saw her Twitter followers double so that his fans were able to abuse her online. Not only is An Interviewing Life a fascinating window into the lives of those has she interviewed, but also into the world of journalism itself and into Lynn Barber's own life.
