Title: The Jewel of the Blues Author: Monica Chenault-Kilgore Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 59 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Set in the sparkling 1920s jazz era, The Jewel of the Blues pulls back the curtain on all the romance, danger and drama in the bustling backstage life of a young performer. Billed as the Little Girl with the Big Voice, blues singer Lucille Arnetta Love always dreamed of life under the lights. From traveling family gospel band to lead singer in a riotous vaudeville troupe, Lucille is on the rise. But a devastating family secret, one that’s poised to shatter every dream she’s ever had, casts an inescapable shadow over Lucille’s career. Decades ago, a botched robbery ended in a suspicious death—and all signs point to Lucille’s own father as the culprit. It’s a secret that Lucille’s family is determined to keep buried—even from Lucille herself. For a time, a fresh start feels possible, especially when Marcus Williams, Lucille’s manager—and sometimes paramour—sets her up with a band to tour the country: Miss Lucille’s Black Troubadours. Lucille’s dream of seeing her name in the bright lights of Broadway may happen yet, if she and the Troubadours can endure the highly competitive, rocky road to fame. Beneath the dazzling glamour of the vaudeville scene lies a wicked underbelly, as drinking, gambling, salacious love affairs and racial tensions compete to dim Lucille’s shining star. And when shady figures from her father’s past emerge, their thirst for revenge threatens to silence Lucille’s career—and the sultry singer herself—for good.

Title: Faith: A Very Short Introduction Author: Roger Trigg Narrator: Michael Langan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What is faith? It usually means religious belief, and sometimes diverse religions are grouped together as 'faiths,' with reference to 'faith leaders' or 'faith schools.' What we have faith in matters, and that involves our reason, involving claims to truths that affect everyone. Faith is not just a personal attribute, like tastes, but should be open to public examination and debate. In this Very Short Introduction, Roger Trigg argues that all faith needs reason. He puts contemporary discussions into historical perspective, particularly in the context of Christianity. The author argues that faith also involves a commitment to action and that matters for all social life. Because religion is typically directed at what is seen as of crucial importance for human life, faith should not be marginalized or privatized. It will permeate every idea of how people should behave, and has a role in the public square, however respectful it should be to competing views within a democracy.

They've been running the local wagon train outfit for years. But now a pompous rail boss named Arbuckle wants to put them out of business.

Title: [German] - Die Rückkehr des Terrors - Wie uns der Dschihadismus herausfordert (Autorisierte Lesefassung) Author: Peter R. Neumann Narrator: Martin Valdeig Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 23 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Der dschihadistische Terror ist zurück. Seit dem Angriff der Hamas auf Israel am 7. Oktober 2023 mobilisiert sich weltweit eine neue Gewaltbewegung, die sich in westlichen Gesellschaften schnell auszubreiten droht - nach dem Angriff gab es in Europa bereits mehr versuchte Anschläge als im gesamten Jahr zuvor. Peter R. Neumann, einer der wichtigsten Terrorismus-Experten der Welt, sieht deutliche Warnzeichen dafür, dass die dschihadistische Bedrohung zunimmt - vielleicht stärker noch als vor zehn Jahren, wie zuletzt das Attentat in Moskau verdeutlicht hat. Neumann zeigt, wie sich der Dschihadismus seit dem 11. September 2001 entwickelt hat und was die neue Gefahr ausmacht. Eine bestechende Analyse, die vor Augen führt, was Deutschland und Europa bevorstehen könnte - und was Sicherheitsbehörden und Politik tun müssen, um dieser Gefahr und den möglichen gesellschaftlichen Konflikten angemessen zu begegnen. Das Hörbuch wird gelesen von Martin Valdeig, der neben seiner Arbeit am Theater regelmäßig im Deutschlandfunk, bei MDR und in zahlreichen Hörbüchern zu hören ist. Von Peter R. Neumann ebenfalls als Hörbuch erschienen sind Die neue Weltunordnung und Logik der Angst.
