"''Simply the most exciting book on black folklore and culture I have ever read.'' --Roger D. AbrahamsMules and Men is the first great collection of black America's folk world. In the 1930's, Zora Neale Hurston returned to her ''native village'' of Eatonville, Florida to record the oral histories, sermons and songs, dating back to the time of slavery, which she remembered hearing as a child. In her quest, she found herself and her history throughout these highly metaphorical folk-tales, ''big old lies,'' and the lyrical language of song. With this collection, Zora Neale Hurston has come to reveal'and preserve'a beautiful and important part of American culture.
Zora Neale Hurston (1901-1960) was a novelist, folklorist, anthropologist and playwright whose fictional and factual accounts of black heritage are unparalleled. She is also the author of Tell My Horse, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Dust Tracks on a Road, and Mule Bone. Ruby Dee, a member of the Theatre Hall of Fame, starred on Broadway in the original productions of A Raisin in the Sun and Purlie Victorious, and was featured in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. She is also an award-winning author and the producer of numerous television dramas."
"Concluding the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the final part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.
The armies of the Dark Lord Sauron are massing as his evil shadow spreads ever wider. Men, Dwarves, Elves and Ents unite forces to do battle agains the Dark. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam struggle further into Mordor in their heroic quest to destroy the One Ring.
The devastating conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale of magic and adventure, begun in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, features the definitive audio recording of the complete tale – including Appendix A – all of which is expertly read by Rob Inglis."
"Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power – the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose."
"Building on the story begun in The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, this is the second part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.
Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs.
Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin – alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go."
"The complete series of Father Christmas letters written by JRR Tolkien for his own children between 1920 and 1943.
Can you imagine writing to Father Christmas and actually getting a reply? Every year, the children of J.R.R. Tolkien would write to Father Christmas, and the letters they received told wonderful stories of his adventures at the North Pole. These humorous tales are brought to life by Derek Jacobi as Father Christmas, John Moffatt as Polar Bear, and Christian Rodska as Ilbereth the Elf, complete with specially composed music."
"Die Sage der Richmodis von Aducht, jener Frau aus Köln, die im Mittelalter wie durch ein Wunder von den Toten auferstand, erzählt von Liebe und Vertrauen, Habgier und Missgunst, von Verbrechen und Eigennutz und - sie endet doch gut."

"Wallfahrten zum Christkind gibt es gemessen an den vielen anderen Gnadenstätten nur wenige. Aber es sind doch so viele, dass man nicht von jeder erzählen kann.
So hat sich der bekannte Autor, Rundfunkmoderator und Heimatpfleger Paul Ernst Rattelmüller in diesem Hörbuch auf den Bambino in Ara Coeli in Rom, auf das Prager Jesulein und auf das Loretto Kindl in Salzburg beschränkt."
"The Wicked Years continue in Gregory Maguire’s Son of a Witch—the heroic saga of the hapless yet determined young man who may or may not be the offspring of the fabled Wicked Witch of the West. A New York Times bestseller like its predecessor, the remarkable Wicked, Son of a Witch follows the boy Liir on his dark odyssey across an ingeniously re-imagined and nearly unrecognizable Land of Oz—a journey that will take him deep into the bowels of the Emerald City, lately abandoned by the Wizard, and into the jaws of dragons. At once a grim fairy tale and an uplifting adventure, Son of a Witch is a true wonder."
"La Fontaines Fabeln handeln von Habgier und Eitelkeit, Kriechertum und Heuchelei, von Liebe und Freundschaft, Einsamkeit und Tod. 'La Fontaines Kunst besteht darin, die bestürzenden Wahrheiten, die Nietzsche mit pathetischer Eloquenz verkündet, leicht und spielerisch zu formulieren.' (André Gide) Achim Höppner erzählt 37 der insgesamt 245 Fabeln.

"Die Fabeln sind das Hauptwerk von Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695). In ihnen stellt er hellsichtig und kritisch die sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Zustände der Zeit dar. Dabei verwandelt er die Vorlagen von Äsop, Phädrus u. a. in lyrische Meisterwerke.

"In this highly unusual and entertaining book, acclaimed classicist Charles Beye imagines a biography of the fictional Bronze Age hero and puts his unique spin on Odysseus' strange and adventuresome existence. With wit and insight, Beye portrays the character's life, beginning as a young prince, as warrior and hero of the war with Troy, as wanderer trying to get home, as lover, and finally as king of his home, Ithaca. But Beye does more than just describe Odysseus' life. He delves into the psychological complexities of this enigmatic individual and examines his motives and character.
Beye's account reads like a modern novel, filled with fascinating analogies and references to our own era. With a distinct humor and wisdom, the author casts new light on one of the great figures of the Western imagination."
