Title: Elizabeth: Renaissance Prince Author: Lisa Hilton Narrator: Kelly Birch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 5 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “Game-changing . . . How history should be written.” — Andrew Roberts, author of Napoleon: A Life [An] ambitious re-examination of the intersection of gender and monarchy.” — New York Times Book Review   Queen Elizabeth I was all too happy to play on courtly conventions of gender when it suited her “weak and feeble woman’s body” to do so for political gain. But in Elizabeth, historian Lisa Hilton offers ample evidence why those famous words should not be taken at face value. With new research out of France, Italy, Russia, and Turkey, Hilton’s fresh interpretation is of a queen who saw herself primarily as a Renaissance prince—an expert in Machiavellian statecraft.  Elizabeth depicts a queen who was much less constrained by her femininity than most accounts claim, challenging readers to reassess Elizabeth’s reign and the colorful drama and intrigue to which it is always linked. It’s a fascinating journey that shows how a marginalized newly crowned queen, whose European contemporaries considered her to be the illegitimate ruler of a pariah nation, ultimately adapted to become England’s first recognizably modern head of state.   “Hilton transforms an irreverent, centuries-old vision of a ‘bewigged farthingale with a mysterious sex life’ into a resolute, steel-spined survivor who far surpassed Henry VII’s wildest hopes for his new dynasty.” — Publishers Weekly

Title: The Orchard: A Memoir Author: Adele Crockett Robertson Narrator: Alexandra Cohler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A stirring memoir of a young, single woman's laborious struggle to save her family's New England apple farm from going under during the Great Depression. The Orchard is a poignant memoir of a young woman's single-handed struggle to save her New England farm in the depths of the Great Depression. Discovered by the author's daughter after the author's death, it tells the story of Adele 'Kitty' Robertson, young and energetic, but unprepared by her Radcliffe education for the rigors of apple farming in those bitter years of the early 1930s. Alone at the end of a country road, with only a Great Dane for company, plagued by debts, broken machinery, and killing frosts, Kitty revives the old orchard after years of neglect. Every day is a struggle, but every day she is also rewarded by the beauty of the world and the unexpected kindness of neighbors and hired workers. Animated by quiet courage and simple goodness, The Orchard is a deeply moving celebration of decency and beauty in the midst of grim prospects and crushing poverty. In addition to a foreword and epilogue by Betsy Robertson Cramer, the author's daughter, this edition includes a new afterword by award-winning author Jane Brox.

Title: Memories, Myths, and Dreams of an Ojibwe Leader Series: #10 of Rupert's Land Record Society Series Author: A. Irving Hallowell, William Berens Narrator: Wesley French Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 48 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In the 1930s, Chief William Berens shared with anthropologist A. Irving Hallowell a remarkable history of his life, as well as many personal and dream experiences that held special significance for him. Most of this material has never been published. Because the elderly chief wanted his visitor to understand the Ojibwe world, and because Hallowell was deeply interested in his subject matter and was such a good listener, Berens freely related his dreams and other stories about encounters with powerful beings. The fact that he also shared traditional myths in summer, when Ojibwe people thought it dangerous to discuss such things, shows the depth of his relationship with Hallowell. Berens' reminiscences and story and myth texts are unparalleled as sources for the life, experiences, and outlook of this important Ojibwe leader, and for the insights they provide into the history and culture of his people. Rooted in the collaboration between Berens as steward of his oral traditions and Hallowell as creator and guardian of their written versions, Memories, Myths, and Dreams of an Ojibwe Leader draws the reader into the world - and world view - of Chief Berens, showing how an Aboriginal Christian of the early twentieth century could simultaneously take part in 'modern' and 'traditional' Ojibwe life.

Title: Room Swept Home Author: Remica Bingham-Risher Narrator: Remica Bingham-Risher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 11 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In a strange twist of kismet, Remica Bingham-Risher's paternal great-great-great grandmother, Minnie Lee Fowlkes, is interviewed for the Works Progress Administration Slave Narratives in Petersburg, Virginia in 1937, and her maternal grandmother, Mary Knight, is sent to Petersburg in 1941, diagnosed with 'water on the brain'—postpartum depression being an ongoing mystery—nine days after birthing her first child. Braiding meticulous archival research with Womanist scholarship and her hallmark lyrical precision, Bingham-Risher's latest collection of poems treads the murky waters of race, lineage, faith, mental health, women's rights, and the violent reckoning that inhabits the discrepancy between lived versus textbook history, asking: What do we inherit when trauma is at the core of our fractured living? Utilizing primary and secondary sources, Bingham-Risher weaves together a richly textured vision of her foremothers' everyday and exceptional living: two very different women at opposite ends of their lives, converging upon the same space and time. The lives these women inhabit and generations they fostered add infinite layers to the fabric of the American tapestry. Room Swept Home serves as a gloriously rendered portrait of all that is held in the line between the private and public, the investigative and generative, the self and those who came before us.

Title: Facing the Lion: Memoirs of a Young Girl in Nazi Europe Author: Simone Arnold-Liebster Narrator: Simone Arnold-Liebster Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: FACING THE LION is the autobiographical account of a young girl's faith and courage. In the years immediately preceding World War II, Simone Arnold is a young girl who delights in life – her doting parents, her loving aunts and uncles, and her grandparents at their mountain farm in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. As Simone grows into her preteen years, her parents turn from the Catholic Church and become devout Jehovah's Witnesses. Simone, too, embraces the faith. The Nazi party (the 'Lion') takes over Alsace-Lorraine, and Simone's schools become Nazi propaganda machines. Simone refuses to accept the Nazi party as being above God. Her simple acts of defiance lead her to be persecuted by the school staff and local officials, and ignored by friends. With her father already taken away to a German concentration camp, Simone is wrested away from her mother and sent to a reform school to be 'reeducated.' There, Simone learns that her mother has also been put in a camp. Simone remains in the harsh reform school until the end of the war. She emerges feeling detached from life, but the faith that sustains her through her ordeals helps her rebuild her world. Facing the Lion provides an interesting and detailed view of ordinary country and town life in the pre-war years and during Hitler's regime. This inspiring story of a young girl standing up for her beliefs in the face of society's overwhelming pressure to conform is a potent reminder of the power of remaining true to one's beliefs.

Title: [German] - Neville Goddard - Die Suche (The Search 1946): Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme nach Neville Goddard Series: #6 of Neville Goddard: Alle 14 original Bücher auf Deutsch Author: Fabio Mantegna Narrator: Konrad Lindemann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 17 minutes Release date: January 28, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Neville Goddard (Deutsch): Die Suche - Originaltitel: The Search - aus dem Jahre 1946. Das 6. Buch von Neville Goddard über das Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme. Die Suche ist die deutsche Übersetzung von The Search aus dem Jahre 1946. Es ist das 6. Buch über das Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme, dass Neville Goddard zu seiner Zeit veröffentlicht hat. 'Neville Lancelot Goddard, der über einen autodidaktischen und ungewöhnlich scharfen Intellekt verfügte, vertrat eine kühne und umfassende spirituelle Vision: Alles was wir sehen und erleben, einschließlich anderer Menschen, sei das Ergebnis unserer eigenen Gedanken und emotionalen Zustände. Jeder von uns träumt eine Unzahl von Realitäten ins Dasein. Wenn wir Menschen das erkennen, so lehrte Neville Goddard, würden wir entdecken, dass wir ein schlummernder Zweig der Schöpfung sind, der in menschlicher Form gekleidet sei und am Ruder der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten stehe.' - Mitch Horowitz - Neville Goddard kann am besten als erleuchteter Mystiker und Hermetiker bezeichnet werden. Sein Wunsch war es den Menschen ihre Schöpferkraft bewusstwerden zu lassen. Und dabei ging es nicht nur um das Manifestieren, sondern auch, dass die tiefgreifenden Mechanismen unseres Daseins erneut verstanden und bewusst angewendet werden können. Und dieses Wissen kann mit diesem Buch - Die Suche (The Search) - von Neville Goddard wieder verstanden und bewusst angewendet werden. 'Wenn der Mensch beginnt, diese Kraft in sich zu entdecken, spielt er nie mehr die Rolle, die er früher gespielt hat. Er kehrt nicht zurück nur um ein Abbild des Lebens zu werden; von nun an ist er der Urheber des Lebens.' - Neville Lancelot Goddard -
