Title: The Strenuous Life

Author: Theodore Roosevelt

Narrator: John Hemilton

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 29 minutes

Release date: March 10, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The speech 'The Strenuous Life' by Theodore Roosevelt, is one of his most famous and enduring speeches. Delivered in Chicago on April 10, 1899, to the Hamilton Club, it served as a call to action for Americans to embrace hard work, duty, and perseverance as the foundation of a prosperous and strong nation. Roosevelt argued against a life of ease and inactivity, believing that such a life led to individual and national decay. Instead, he championed the virtues of hard work, physical strength, and moral integrity as essential to both personal fulfillment and the success of the country. Roosevelt's speech is imbued with the spirit of American exceptionalism and manifest destiny, urging Americans to take up the 'strenuous life' of active engagement in domestic and foreign affairs. He saw the challenges of his time—such as the frontier's closing, industrialization, and the United States' emergence as a world power—as opportunities for Americans to demonstrate their resilience and pioneering spirit. The speech also reflects Roosevelt's beliefs in imperialism and American expansionism, which were influential in his advocacy for the United States' role in the Spanish-American War and its aftermath, including the annexation of territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Roosevelt argued that the strenuous life was not only about personal achievement but also about national duty and the moral obligation to bring American values and civilization to what he considered less developed parts of the world. 'The Strenuous Life' speech is emblematic of Roosevelt's larger body of work and philosophy, combining his advocacy for personal virtue with a vision of American global leadership. It remains a touchstone for discussions on American identity, values, and foreign policy.

Publisher's Summary:

The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism, by Lenin, is a concise article that examines the historical roots, essence, and content of Marxist teaching. Lenin wrote it on the 30th anniversary of the death of Karl Marx.  Soviet propaganda makers lifted a key quote from the article to use as a slogan for posters, inscriptions on monuments, or other propaganda purposes. The phrase was: 'The might of Marx's teaching is in its truth.' The book, The State and Revolution: The Marxist Theory of the State and the Tasks of the Proletariat in the Revolution, was written while preparing for the socialist revolution. At this time the role of the state was of prime importance to the Bolsheviks. Lenin used the text to justify the need for a dictatorship of the proletariat. He also provided definitions for imperialism, socialism, and communism.

Length: 18 hours 4 minutes

Release date: March 9, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his developments to the ideology are called Leninism. Russia in the Shadows is a book by H. G. Wells published early in 1921, which includes a series of articles previously printed in The Sunday Express in connection with Wells's second visit to Russia (after a previous trip in January 1914 to St. Petersburg and Moscow) in September and October 1920. During his visit to Russia he visited his old friend Maxim Gorky, whom he had first met in 1906 on a trip to the United States, and who arranged Wells's meeting with Lenin. In a chapter (The Dreamer in the Kremlin) devoted to an interview with Lenin at the Kremlin Wells describes the leader and founder of Russian communism. Wells portrays Lenin as a pragmatic leader who 'has recently stripped off the last pretence that the Russian revolution is anything more than the inauguration of an age of limitless experiment.'   Vladimir Lenin: State and Revolution What Is to Be Done?

Title: [Spanish] - La llamada: La mentira del 11M: Aznar quería que fuera ETA

Author: Jesús Ceberio

Narrator: Jesús Ceberio, Eugenio Gómez

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 8 minutes

Release date: March 7, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

La crónica imprescindible de Jesús Ceberio sobre un momento decisivo en la historia reciente de España: los atentados del 11-M. Un testimonio estremecedor en torno a la famosa llamada de Aznar a los periódicos. «El 11 de marzo de 2004 fue un jueves aciago en Madrid. Acababa de amanecer cuando retumbaron varias explosiones en un tren de cercanías que entraba en el andén de la estación de Atocha. Eran las 7.37 de una mañana casi primaveral. En menos de cinco minutos diez bombas reventaron cuatro trenes procedentes de Alcalá de Henares, con un efecto devastador que se traduciría en 191 muertos y más de 2.000 heridos. 'Tengo la certeza de que ha sido ETA', fue el veredicto inapelable que el presidente Aznar me transmitió por teléfono a las 13.06». Se cumplen veinte años del 11-M. Lo que sucedió aquel día, tanto la serie de ataques en los trenes de la red madrileña de Cercanías como la actuación del gobierno en vísperas de las elecciones generales, afectó a la sociedad española de manera brutal. En el eje de esa gestión estaba el intento por parte del Gobierno del Partido Popular de responsabilizar a ETA de los atentados, aun cuando desde muy pronto empezaron a aparecer indicios que apuntaban al terrorismo islamista como autor del ataque. El momento paradigmático de esa voluntad fue la llamada del presidente Aznar a los medios de comunicación para asegurarles que había sido ETA. El periodista de máximo prestigio Jesús Ceberio, entonces director de El País, habló con él por teléfono. En esta crónica rigurosa y trepidante Ceberio, como testigo directo, narra cómo fueron desarrollándose las investigaciones, discrepando cada vez más de la versión oficial y generando un nivel de tensión social y política que marcó la pauta para los años posteriores y la actualidad. En definitiva, un relato estremecedor que gira en torno a la famosa mentira del presidente Aznar a los medios de comunicación.

Title: [German] - Klimaungerechtigkeit: Was die Klimakatastrophe mit Kapitalismus, Rassismus und Sexismus zu tun hat

Author: Friederike Otto

Narrator: Katja Amberger

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 38 minutes

Release date: March 6, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Wie gerecht kann eine Welt in der Klimakrise sein? Der Klimawandel trifft uns nicht alle gleich. Friederike Otto liefert anhand von acht extremen Wetterereignissen konkrete Beispiele, was die wirklichen Ursachen sind, wer besonders betroffen ist und vor allem: Was Klimagerechtigkeit tatsächlich bedeutet und was dafür noch getan werden muss. So lernen wir anhand der Ahrtal-Flut und Überschwemmungen in Pakistan, wie unterschiedlich die Auswirkungen dieser Katastrophen ausfallen können, sehen aber auch bei Beispielen wie den Buschbränden in Australien, dass Reichtum nicht vor Rauchvergiftungen schützt und hier Medien und Politik durch gezielte Missinformation einen Wandel verhindern.

Wie viel Hyaluron passt in das Gesicht einer intelligenten Frau? Wie viel Botox kann ich meiner politischen Haltung zumuten? Wie viel Hängebrust ertragen?

Überall ist Bewertung. Kein Entkommen. Was macht das mit uns? Saralisa Volm, Schauspielerin, Filmproduzentin und Kuratorin, ist hin- und hergerissen zwischen der Generalsanierung ihres Körpers und einem großen »Fuck you«.

Hier erzählt sie die Geschichte ihres ambivalenten Verhältnisses zum eigenen Körper. Sie ist der Ausgangspunkt für die feministische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema. Wer ist schuld an unserem Schönheitsdilemma? Und vor allem: Was können wir Frauen ihm entgegensetzen.

Title: [German] - Bullshit Jobs

Author: David Graeber

Narrator: Michael Jürgen Diekmann

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 0 minutes

Release date: March 1, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Ein Bullshit-Job ist eine Beschäftigungsform, die so völlig sinnlos, unnötig oder schädlich ist, dass selbst der Arbeitnehmer ihre Existenz nicht rechtfertigen kann. Es geht also gerade nicht um Jobs, die niemand machen will, sondern um solche, die eigentlich niemand braucht. Im Jahr 1930 sagte der britische Ökonom John Maynard Keynes voraus, dass durch den technischen Fortschritt heute niemand mehr als 15 Stunden pro Woche arbeiten müsse. Fast ein Jahrhundert danach stellt David Graeber fest, dass die Gegenwart anders aussieht: Die durchschnittliche Arbeitszeit ist gestiegen und immer mehr Menschen üben Tätigkeiten aus, die unproduktiv und daher eigentlich überflüssig sind – als Immobilienmakler, Investmentbanker oder Unternehmensberater. Es sind Jobs, die keinen sinnvollen gesellschaftlichen Beitrag leisten. Es sind Bullshit-Jobs. Warum bezahlt eine Ökonomie solche Tätigkeiten, die sie nicht braucht? Wie ist es zu dieser Entwicklung gekommen? Und was können wir dagegen tun? David Graeber, einer der radikalsten politischen Denker unserer Zeit, geht diesem Phänomen auf den Grund. Ein packendes Plädoyer gegen die Ausweitung sinnloser Arbeit, die die moralischen Grundfesten unserer Gesellschaft ins Wanken bringt. »Eine Einladung zum Umdenken.« Business Bestseller     »Drastische Ideen, spannend zu lesen!« P.
