After moving to Los Angeles, Susan Orlean became fascinated by a mysterious local crime that has gone unsolved since it was carried out on the morning of 29th April 1986: who set fire to the Los Angeles Public Library, ultimately destroying more than 400,000 books, and perhaps even more perplexing, why? With her characteristic humour, insight and compassion, Orlean uses this terrible event as a lens through which to tell the story of all libraries—their history, their meaning and their uncertain future as they adapt and redefine themselves in a digital world.

Story0
When Brian Dillon was sixteen his mother died and he simply gave up all schoolwork. Halfway through college his father died, and the stakes of reading and writing seemed even higher. Ambivalence explores what learning meant to its author, what it enabled and denied, between the ages of seventeen and twenty-six, when he left his native Dublin. It's at once a memoir of that city in the 1980s and 1990s, an uncynical portrait of the adolescent and early-adult mind, and an intimate defence of radical thinking about literature and life.

Hans Holbein the Younger is chiefly celebrated for his beautiful and precisely realised portraiture, which includes representations of Henry VIII, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Anne of Cleves, Jane Seymour and an array of the Tudor lords and ladies he encountered during the course of two sojourns in England. But beyond these familiar images, which have come to define our perception of the world of the Henrician court, Holbein was a protean and multi-faceted genius.

Warum feiert die Kunstwelt so oft das männliche Genie und übersieht die Frauen, die unseren Blick auf Schmerz, Identität und weibliche Erfahrung verändert haben? Frida Kahlo malte nicht einfach Selbstporträts. Sie machte den weiblichen Körper zum Ort von Wahrheit, Verletzlichkeit und Widerstand. Bert Alexander Petzold rückt in diesem Hörbuch nicht das romantisierte Leiden in den Mittelpunkt, sondern Kahlos künstlerische Innovation.
