Manchmal kann die Freiheit nur mit Blut erkauft werden: Nie war Athen einer Niederlage näher: 490 vor Christus dringt der mächtige Perserkönig Dareios der Große mit seinen kampferprobten 'Unsterblichen' tief ins Land der Griechen vor. Die Athener sind hoffnungslos in der Unterzahl, und die Götter schweigen zu ihren Bitten. Xanthippus, der oberste Feldherr der Griechen, lässt seine Männer bei Marathon einen Schildwall errichten, der die Perser um jeden Preis aufhalten soll. Denn eine Niederlage würde Sklaverei bedeuten.

Title: Some Do Not…

Series: #1 of Parade's End Tetralogy

Author: Ford Madox Ford

Narrator: Rupert Degas

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 41 minutes

Release date: May 28, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

The first installment of Ford Madox Ford's acclaimed Parade's End tetralogy. There is a hard brightness overlying the emotion and the human suffering and the human passions… Mr. Ford achieves not only what is probably his own best work but what is certainly one of the ablest of recent English novels. — The New York Times, 1924 Some Do Not… is the first of four novels in Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End tetralogy, a work that Ford hoped would contribute to the obviating of all future wars. Following Christopher Tietjens, a wealthy British landowner and the last British Tory; his wife, Sylvia; and his mistress, Valentine Wannop, the novel begins in 1912 and progresses to 1917, in the middle of World War I. The Parade's End tetralogy privileges not the conflict of World War I itself, but the impact the war had on its participants and upon society writ large. It is often referred to as one of the greatest 20th century novels, and one of the best depictions of war in literature. The 2012 television adaptation, written by Tom Stoppard and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards and seven BAFTA TV Awards.

Publisher's Summary:

A powerfully poignant tale of one of the most turbulent moments in Scotland's history: the North Berwick Witch Trials. It's the 4th of December 1591. On this, the last night of her life, in a prison cell several floors below Edinburgh's High Street, convicted witch Geillis Duncan receives a mysterious visitor—Iris, who says she comes from a future where women are still persecuted for who they are and what they believe. As the hours pass and dawn approaches, Geillis recounts the circumstances of her arrest, brutal torture, confession and trial, while Iris offers support, solace—and the tantalizing prospect of escape. Hex is a visceral depiction of what happens when a society is consumed by fear and superstition, exploring how the terrible force of a king's violent crusade against ordinary women can still be felt, right up to the present day. Contains mature themes.

Coffee Pot Book Club's Book of the Year Awards: Silver Medal Ehli-nikkalu, eldest daughter of the Hittite emperor, is married to a mere vassal of her father's. But despite her status, her foreignness and inability to produce an heir drive a wedge between her and the court that surrounds her. When her secretary is mysteriously murdered while carrying the emperor a message that would indict the loyalty of his vassal, Ehli-nikkalu adopts the dead man's orphaned children out of a guilty sense of responsibility. A young cousin she has never met becomes a pretender to the throne and mobilizes roving armies of the poor and dispossessed, which causes the priority of her loyalties to become even more suspect. However, Ehli-nikkalu discovers a terrible secret that could destabilize the present regime if the pretender ever learns of it. With the help of a kindly scribe, her brave young ward, and an embittered former soldier trapped in debt and self-doubt, Ehli-nikkalu sets out to save the kingdom and prove herself to her father. And along the way, she learns something about love.

Title: Bent Toward Justice: A Novel Inspired By True Stories

Author: Steven R. Feldman

Narrator: Ed Asner

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 15 minutes

Release date: May 21, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

A unifying narrative for divided times, Bent Toward Justice tells the story of Murray Schwartzman, a Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust and escaped to America. But while Schwartzman may have found respite from external conflict in his peaceful and supportive American Jewish community, he faces a new internal upheaval. An encounter with an apparently anti-Semitic doctor forces Schwartzman to confront his beliefs about Palestinians being the enemy of the Jewish people. Martin Luther King Jr. believed the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. Bent Toward Justice embodies that theme with a story about a morally passionate man who begins to question his beliefs, leading him to discover he was guilty of the kind of prejudice that he so fervently despised. This audiobook features the final performance of Ed Asner (1929–2021), best remembered for his role as Lou Grant in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and in Lou Grant, for which he won seven Emmy Awards.
