"Stemmen. Det frste, han mdte, var hendes stemme. Og det frste, han tnkte, var: det er ikke hendes rigtige stemme, nu og her, i hendes lejlighed, Eastside, New york, en halvlys eftermiddag. Det m vre en plade, nogen spiller, en afspilning fra en af hendes film, stemmen som alle kender og som sang om diamanter og 'Bye, bye, baby' og 'Somebody loves me', blondine-lillepige-stemmen - der har nppe vret magen til stemme fr, og der blir det nok aldrig, men alle har kendt den og genkender den, for i den kan de huske deres livs mest sex-ikke-sexede teen-age situationer, deres - troede de - erotiske mder med forelskelsen, men som blev til de jeblikke af erindret hengivenhed, som er tragiske (i ungdommeligheden) og lattermilde (sidenhen). Sdan taler hun ikke uden for lrret, tnkte han. Hendes stemme m vre et professionelt trick, den kan ikke vre medfdt. Men det var den."

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die Geschichte einer überwältigenden Liebe.

Claire und Yvan Goll waren eines der schillerndsten und extrovertiertesten Dichter-Paare des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, sie kannten Rilke, Picasso, Einstein und Dalí. Claire und Yvan konnten nicht miteinander, aber auch nicht ohne einander leben. Immer wieder trennten, betrogen und vertrugen sie sich und schrieben einander ein Leben lang Briefe, die von großer Poesie und geradezu verrückter Leidenschaftlichkeit waren.

Auf diesem Hörbuch liegt eine Auswahl an Briefen und Dokumenten aus 30 Jahren vor, die die hochemotionale Beziehung dieser beiden Künstler eindrucksvoll reflektieren. Die Schauspieler Sandra Quadflieg und Ulrich Tukur erwecken mit ihren Stimmen eine Amour fou zu neuem Leben, die ihren literarischen Ausdruck in einem Briefwechsel fand, der zum Ergreifendsten gehört, was dieses Genre je hervorgebracht hat.

Title: Spartacus and Me

Subtitle: Life, Love and Everything In Between

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-23-17

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Publisher's Summary:

A poignant and searingly honest memoir about love and life with Andy Whitfield, breakout star of the television phenomenon Spartacus.

When you meet the love of your life, the one person you want to spend the rest of your days with, what do you do when they're ripped away? Vashti and Andy Whitfield fitted together like the missing pieces of a perfect jigsaw. From the moment they met, they were inseparable.

Vashti inspired Andy to fight fearlessly to achieve whatever he dreamed, and he gave her a love so deep that they both knew their life together would be nothing less than extraordinary. When Andy was talent-spotted on a Sydney beach, life changed forever. The shy engineer found his calling as an actor, landing the lead role in the hit Hollywood TV series Spartacus, while Vashti achieved her own dream, becoming a highly sought after executive coach. The arrival of their two beautiful children made their world complete. But then Andy was diagnosed with cancer.

Miraculously he recovered and went back to his starring role. But as Andy fought gladiators in the ring, the cancer was waging its own war inside his body, and this time it wasn't going to be beaten. Despite the shocking inevitability of his illness, Andy and Vashti were determined to leave a meaningful legacy and bravely chose to share their journey to the end in the award-winning documentary Be Here Now. Now Vashti has rebuilt her life, and in this honest, heartfelt and at times hilariously moving story, she tells of life, love and overcoming loss - and the legacies we can all leave behind.

Titre: Robert W. Service : La piste de l'imaginaire (Robert W. Service 1)

Auteur: Charlotte Service-Longépé

Narrateur: Marina Graf

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 21 hrs and 20 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 01-20-17

Éditeur: ABS-Multimédias

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Robert W. Service : La piste de l'imaginaire est une biographie romancée, inspirée par une première tranche de l'existence de l'arrière-grand-père de l'auteure Charlotte Service-Longépé. Au cours de sa vie, le poète et écrivain Robert William Service (1874-1958) a rédigé une imposante œuvre étudiée encore aujourd'hui dans tout le monde anglo-saxon.

Après une enfance indisciplinée en Écosse, il décide d'accomplir son rêve de découvrir le Nouveau Monde. Suite à un long voyage en bateau, il débarque à Montréal en 1896 avec quelques dollars en poche, puis traverse le Canada d'est en ouest. Service passe plusieurs années sur l'île de Vancouver, avant de vagabonder pendant deux ans sur la côte pacifique. En 1904, il découvre avec émerveillement l'univers sauvage du Grand Nord canadien et s'installe à Dawson sur les bords de la rivière Yukon. C'est là qu'il publie son premier recueil de poèmes, Songs of a Sourdough, qui sera édité au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Angleterre. Sa rapide renommée en tant qu'auteur n'entrave en rien sa soif de liberté, qui l'entraîne jusqu'en Nouvelle-Orléans, puis à Cuba, avant de le ramener au Yukon, où s'arrête la première partie des aventures racontées sous la plume de son arrière-petite-fille.

Au cours de son existence, Robert W. Service rédigera plus de 1100 poèmes et ballades, ainsi qu'une dizaine de romans inspirés par des événements de société et les expériences découlant de sa propre existence : des mots empreints d'optimisme, de nature et surtout, de liberté, la valeur la plus fondamentale à ses yeux.

They will challenge your notion of the impossible. They will inspire you to live life to the fullest, because life is truly a gift.

Members Reviews:

Excellent!

If someone gives you a gift, you could, if you don't particularly like it, throw it in the garbage bin or lock it away in the loft. But if you value it, you could choose to use it in a way that would please the person who gave it to you--by treasuring it and making the best possible use of it.

Our lives, too, are a gift, too--as the title of this book underscores--and we are free to make a mess of it or to use it in a manner that is pleasing to the One who gifted it to us. Many of us choose the latter course, but there are others who, despite facing tremendous odds, go on to do some beautiful things with their lives.

This awe-inspiring book tells the stories of 15 people from across India whom the author has encountered who have refused to let the severe physical disabilities and accompanying traumas that they have suffered make them give up on life. They have chosen to respond to the enormous pain they have undergone in amazingly positive ways, bringing hope and cheer to themselves as well as to many others. For us, who often feel overwhelmed by the challenges that life inevitably throws up at almost every corner, these `disabled' or `differently-abled' people have a powerful and compelling message of hope: Never give up, no matter what the odds, for life is a beautiful gift!

The carelessness of doctors while conducting an operation on him when he was an infant rendered Sai Vishwanathan wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life. But that did not stop him from receiving a gold medal from the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for brilliant academic performance and later going to America on a research scholarship. Witnessing how the needs of the physically disabled were kept in mind in public spaces in America, Sai was inspired to help create awareness of the importance of disabled-friendly infrastructure. And what more dramatic way could there be to do that than by skydiving from a height of 14,000 feet, a feat that earned a name for Sai in the Limca Book of Records! How many of us could do something else that Sai did--spend 20 days in an expedition to Antarctica, being the only physically-disabled person of a 30 member-group?

Hearty Bhatti is still a child, and like Sai, is confined to a wheel-chair. This school student is India's youngest patent holder, having designed a game for chess for six players. He is also the youngest disabled patent holder in the world.
