Now Spidmas is over, he feels unloved and unappreciated. But just as Spid is thinking he’ll never make anything of himself, Bid comes up with an idea that changes everything. This adventure is about recognising and taking charge of your feelings. And inspiring resolutions for the year ahead. It features two songs: 'New Year Ensemble' and 'Sheen Neean Kwai Luh (Xin Nian Kuai Le)' which is Chinese for Happy New Year.

He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children.

With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

Title: Kind of a Big Deal: How Anchorman Stayed Classy and Became the Most Iconic Comedy of the Twenty-First Century Author: Saul Austerlitz Narrator: Barrett Leddy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 57 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: *Vulture's Best Comedy Book of 2023* From the author of Generation Friends, featuring brand-new interviews with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, a surprising, incisive, and often hilarious book about the film that changed comedy, Anchorman. It’s been nearly twenty years since Ron Burgundy burst into movie fans’ lives, reminding San Diego to “stay classy” while lampooning a time gone by—although maybe not as far gone as we might think? In Kind of a Big Deal, comedy historian Saul Austerlitz tells the history of how Anchorman was developed, written, and cast, and how it launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and Paul Rudd, also setting the stage for a whole decade of comedy to come and influencing films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and so many more. But Kind of a Big Deal isn’t only a celebration of Anchorman—it’s also a cultural analysis of the film’s significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more. Featuring brand-new interviews with stars such as Will Ferrell, director Adam McKay, and other key players, the book includes insider commentary alongside updated pop-culture analysis. And it also shares surprising stories and facts: from the film’s original conception as a plane crash/cannibal comedy mashup to the surprising, real-life newscaster who inspired the character of Veronica. Overall, this is a celebration of a movie that millions love—but it’s also an unsparing look back at what has and hasn’t changed, since the 1970s and since 2004. Perfect for fans of the film and anyone who cares about comedy today, Kind of a Big Deal proves that the movie was, and is, exactly that.

Title: Party Lines: Dance Music and the Making of Modern Britain Author: Ed Gillett Narrator: Ed Gillett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 45 minutes Release date: August 3, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A Guardian Guide Cultural Book of the Year 2023 An Irish Times Music Book of the Year 2023 'A deep, engrossing history' The Observer 'A fascinating deep dive' Jeremy Deller From the illicit reggae blues dances and acid-rock free festivals of the 1970s, through the ecstasy-fuelled Second Summer of Love in 1988, to the increasingly corporate dance music culture of the post-Covid era, Party Lines is a groundbreaking new history of UK dance music, exploring its pivotal role in the social, political and economic shifts on which modern Britain has been built. Taking in the Victorian moralism of the Thatcher years, the far-reaching restrictions of the Criminal Justice Act in 1994, and the resurgence of illegal raves during the Covid-19 pandemic, Party Lines charts an ongoing conflict, fought in basement clubs, abandoned warehouses and sunlit fields, between the revolutionary potential of communal sound and the reactionary impulses of the British establishment. Brought to life with stunning clarity and depth, this is social and cultural history at its most immersive, vital and shocking.

Title: The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever Author: Prudence Peiffer Narrator: Melissa Redmond Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Longlisted for the National Book Award · A New York Times Notable Book of the Year · Winner of the New York City Book Award · Shortlisted for the Apollo Book of the Year Award · Shortlisted for the Plutarch Award for Best Biography · Finalist for the Gotham Book Prize · Finalist for the Pattis Family Foundation Creative Arts Book Award at Interlochen The never-before-told story of an obscure little street at the lower tip of Manhattan and the remarkable artists who got their start there. For just over a decade, from 1956 to 1967, a collection of dilapidated former sail-making warehouses clustered at the lower tip of Manhattan became the quiet epicenter of the art world. Coenties Slip, a dead-end street near the water, was home to a circle of wildly talented and varied artists that included Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman. As friends and inspirations to one another, they created a unique community for unbridled creative expression and experimentation, and the works they made at the Slip would go on to change the course of American art. Now, for the first time, Prudence Peiffer pays homage to these artists and the unsung impact their work had on the direction of late twentieth-century art and film. This remarkable biography, as transformative as the artists it illuminates, questions the very concept of a “group” or “movement,” as it spotlights the Slip’s eclectic mix of gender and sexual orientation, abstraction and Pop, experimental film, painting, and sculpture, assemblage and textile works. Brought together not by the tenets of composition or technique, nor by philosophy or politics, the artists cultivated a scene at the Slip defined by a singular spirit of community and place. They drew lasting inspiration from one another, but perhaps even more from where they called home, and the need to preserve the solitude its geography fostered. Despite Coenties Slip’s obscurity, the entire history of Manhattan was inscribed into its cobblestones—one of the first streets and central markets of the new colony, built by enslaved people, with revolutionary meetings at the tavern just down Pearl Street; named by Herman Melville in Moby Dick and site of the boom and bust of the city’s maritime industry; and, in the artists’s own time, a development battleground for Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses. The Slip’s history is entwined with that of the artists and their art—eclectic and varied work that was made from the wreckage of the city’s many former lives. An ambitious and singular account of a time, a place, and a group of extraordinary people, The Slip investigates the importance of community, and makes an argument for how we are shaped by it, and how it in turns shapes our work.

Priestley: A BBC Radio Collection of 13 Full-Cast Productions including An Inspector Calls Author: J. B. Priestley Narrator: Harriet Walters, Jack May, Lesley Nicol, Henry Goodman, Toby Jones, Brenda Blethyn, Full Cast, Tony Britton, Alan Bennett, Martin Jarvis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 34 minutes Release date: June 29, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: 13 plays and dramatisations of the works of the influential playwright, novelist and essayist J. B. Priestley - plus bonus programmes J. B. Priestley was one of Britain's most significant writers. His output was prodigious: in his lifetime, he penned 26 novels, 39 plays and hundreds of essays. He enjoyed great success on stage, notably with Dangerous Corner, Time and the Conways and An Inspector Calls, which experimented with narrative structure and unorthodox theories of time. Included here are some of his most esteemed works, adapted for radio and brought together in one statement collection. We begin with Priestley's most famous play, An Inspector Calls, which sees Inspector Goole arriving unexpectedly at the prosperous Birling family home. Their celebratory dinner is shattered by his startling revelations about the death of a young woman. Next is Time and The Conways, telling the story of one family in several scenes set over 19 years, and When We Are Married, in which three couples receive a rude shock during their joint silver wedding party. In I Have Been Here Before, a group of strangers who meet at a remote Yorkshire inn discover that they are all interdependent - have they met before? A happy gathering of friends discover that their relationships aren't what they seem in Dangerous Corner and, in Eden End, an elderly Yorkshire GP finds himself coming to the end of an era. The Linden Tree is set in England 1947, where rationing and austerity have fostered opportunism, escapism - and confrontation - within the Linden family. The Good Companions, J. B. Priestley's classic story of a 1929 concert party tour, is followed by The Demon King, in which a Boxing Day panto is set to be a flop - until the Demon King comes on. In Lost Empires, Richard Hemcastle leaves his dead-end job to join his Uncle Nick in the glamour of the music halls, while in Bright Day, a chance encounter prompts a disillusioned scriptwriter to rediscover his past. Extraordinary and magical things happen on one elusive day in The Thirty-First of June, and in The Grey Ones, a patient fears evil is at work in the shape of a sinister conspiracy. Will his psychiatrist be able to help? Among the array of stars in these stunning dramas are Toby Jones, Frances Barber, Harriet Walter, Alan Bennett, Brenda Blethyn, Lesley Nicol, Morvern Christie, Alun Armstrong, Roy Hudd, Tom Baker, Jack Shepherd, Geoffrey Palmer, Amaka Okafor, Martin Jarvis and Joan Plowright. Also included are two fascinating documentaries: Postscripts: J. B. Priestley, a five-part series of wartime observations originally broadcast in 1940 and read by Patrick Stewart, and Great Lives: J. B. Priestley, which sees Barry Cryer discussing his friend and fellow Yorkshireman with Martin Wainwright and Matthew Parris.

Title: Billionaires' Row: Tycoons, High Rollers, and the Epic Race to Build the World's Most Exclusive Skyscrapers Author: Katherine Clarke Narrator: Kristen Dimercurio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 17 minutes Release date: June 13, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A “thrilling” (Financial Times) fly-on-the-wall account of the ferocious ambition, greed, and one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the world: the new Manhattan megatowers known as Billionaires’ Row—from a staff reporter at The Wall Street Journal “Deeply informative, delightfully entertaining, and addictively readable.”—Diana B. Henriques, bestselling author of The Wizard of Lies A CEO Magazine Best Book of the Year • Longlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award To look south and skyward from Central Park these days is to gaze upon a physical manifestation of tens of billions of dollars in global wealth: a series of soaring spires stretching from Park Avenue to Broadway. Known as Billionaires’ Row, this set of slender high-rise residences has transformed the skyline of New York City, thanks to developer-friendly policies and a seemingly endless gush of cash from tech, finance, and foreign oligarchs. And chances are most of us will never be invited to step inside. In Billionaires’ Row, Katherine Clarke reveals the captivating story of how, in just a few years, the ruthless real-estate impresarios behind these “supertalls” lining 57th Street turned what was once a run-down strip of Midtown into the most exclusive street on Earth, as legendary Trump-era veterans went toe-to-toe with hungry upstart developers in an ego-fueled “race to the sky.” Based on far-reaching access to real estate’s power players, Clarke’s account brings readers inside one of the world’s most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the world’s one-percenters—units to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash. Filled with eye-popping stories that bring the new era of extreme wealth inequality into vivid relief, Billionaires’ Row is a juicy, gimlet-eyed account of the genius, greed, and financial one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the world—a stranger-than-fiction saga of broken partnerships, broken marriages, lawsuits, and, for a few, fleeting triumph.

Title: Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath—And Beyond Author: Geezer Butler Narrator: Geezer Butler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 31 minutes Release date: June 6, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A rollicking, effusive, and candid memoir by the heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath, covering his years as the band’s bassist and main lyricist through his later-career projects, and detailing how one of rock’s most influential bands formed and prevailed.  With over 70 million records sold, Black Sabbath, dubbed by Rolling Stone “the Beatles of heavy metal,” helped create the genre itself, with their distinctive heavy riffs, tuned down guitars, and apocalyptic lyrics. Bassist and primary lyricist Geezer Butler played a gigantic part in the band’s renown, from suggesting the band name to using his fascination with horror, religion, and the occult to compose the lyrics and build the foundation of heavy metal as we know it. In Into the Void, Butler tells his side of the story, from the band’s beginnings as a scrappy blues quartet in Birmingham through the struggles leading to the many well-documented lineup changes while touring around London’s gritty clubs (Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and The Who makes notable appearances!), and the band’s important later years. He writes honestly of his childhood in a working-class family of seven in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, his almost-life as an accountant, and how his disillusionment with organized religion and class systems would spawn the lyrics and artistic themes that would resonate so powerfully with fans around the world. Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend and the formation of one of rock’s most exciting bands, while holding nothing back. Like Geezer’s bass lines, it is both original, dramatic, and forever surprising.

In Holding the Note, David Remnick writes about the lives and work of some of the greatest musicians, songwriters, and performers of the past fifty years. He portrays a series of musical lives and their unique encounters with the passing of that essential element of music: time. From Cohen’s performing debut, when his stage fright was so debilitating he couldn’t get through “Suzanne,” to Franklin’s iconic mink-drop at the Kennedy Center, Holding the Note delivers a view of some of the greatest creative minds of our time written with a lifetime’s passionate attachment to music that has shaped us all.

Title: Easily Slip into Another World: A Life in Music Author: Henry Threadgill, Brent Hayes Edwards Narrator: Ron Butler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 9 minutes Release date: May 16, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • An autobiography of one of the towering figures of contemporary American music and a powerful meditation on history, race, capitalism, and art. A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker Henry Threadgill has had a singular life in music. At 79, the saxophonist, flautist, and celebrated composer is one of three jazz artists (along with Ornette Coleman and Wynton Marsalis) to have won a Pulitzer Prize. In Easily Slip into Another World, Threadgill recalls his childhood and upbringing in Chicago, his family life and education, and his brilliant career in music. Here are riveting recollections of the music scene in Chicago in the early 1960s, when Threadgill developed his craft among friends and schoolmates who would go on to form the core of the highly influential Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM); the year and a half he spent touring with an evangelical preacher in the mid-1960s; his military service in Vietnam—a riveting tale in itself, but also representative of an under-recognized aspect of jazz history, given the number of musicians in Threadgill’s generation who served in the armed forces. We appreciate his genius as he travels to the Netherlands, Venezuela, Trinidad, Sicily, and Goa enriching his art; immerses himself in the volatile downtown scene in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s; collaborates with choreographers, writers, and theater directors as well as an astonishing range of musicians, from AACM stalwarts (Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, and Leroy Jenkins), to Chicago bluesmen, downtown luminaries, and world music innovators; shares his impressions of the recording industry his perspectives on music education and the history of Black music in the United States; and, of course, accounts for his work with the various ensembles he has directed over the past five decades.

Title: Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London's Lost Artist; Revised & Expanded Edition Author: Phil Baker Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: London has harbored many curious characters, but few more curious than the artist and visionary Austin Osman Spare (1886–1956). A controversial enfant terrible of the Edwardian art world, the young Spare was hailed as a genius and a new Aubrey Beardsley, while George Bernard Shaw reportedly said 'Spare's medicine is too strong for the average man.' But Spare was never made for worldly success and he went underground, falling out of the gallery system to live in poverty and obscurity south of the river. Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions, and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality. Today Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologized since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare's art, mind, and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists, and monstrous owls.

Title: If Walls Could Speak: My Life in Architecture Author: Moshe Safdie Narrator: Trevor Thompson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 17 minutes Release date: April 18, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Over more than five decades, legendary architect Moshe Safdie has built some of the world's most influential and memorable structures—from the 1967 modular housing scheme in Montreal known as 'Habitat' and the Yad Vashem memorial in Israel, to the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas and the Marina Bay Sands development and extraordinary Jewel Changi airport interior garden and waterfall in Singapore. Safdie always refers to the 'silent client' an architect must ultimately serve: the people who live in, work in, or experience a building. If Walls Could Speak takes listeners behind the veil of an essential yet mysterious profession to explain through Safdie's own experiences how an architect thinks and works. Relating memorable stories about what has inspired him—from childhoods in Israel and Montreal to the projects and personalities worldwide that have captured his imagination—Safdie reveals the complex interplay that underpins every project and his vision for the role architecture can and should play in society at large. If Walls Could Speak ends with a chapter outlining seven projects Safdie would pursue around the world if resources and will were no issue and the choices were his to make. A book like no other, If Walls Could Speak will forever change the way you look at and appreciate any built structure.

Title: The Spike Jones Show Vol. 4: Starring Spike Jones and his City Slickers Author: Spike Jones Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 59 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Many of the episodes on this volume were broadcast from Hollywood, but the program (which finally became The Spike Jones Show when it moved to a Sunday evening time slot in January 1949) traveled extensively in its last season—New Orleans, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Richmond, Philadelphia, Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago, Des Moines, and San Francisco. (The City Slickers never missed the opportunity to perform the likes of “Carolina in the Morning” or “Pennsylvania Polka”). Among the highlights heard here are the Slickers’ outlandish takeoff on “Riders in Sky” (May 21, 1949) with the original ending mocking vocalist Vaughn Monroe, who failed to appreciate being the butt of the joke. Despite the show’s popularity with the listening audience, it was ultimately “too raucous” for its sponsor, Coca-Cola. Spike refused to tone things down, resulting in his replacement by Percy Faith. The star-studded guest list on these episodes includes Marlene Dietrich, Boris Karloff (performing a Paul Revere sketch), Charles Boyer, Tony Martin, Cyd Charisse, Gene Tierney (featured in a parody of Spellbound), Madeleine Carroll, Lassie (doing “Il Barkio”), Kirk Douglas, Don Ameche, Frances Langford (in a parody of The Bickersons), and Janis Paige. 2/6/49 w/ Eddy Arnold and Janis Paige; 2/13/49 w/ Tony Martin and Cyd Charisse; 2/20/49 w/ Alec Templeton and Monica Lewis; 2/27/49 w/ Hildegarde; 3/6/49 w/ Burgess Meredith and Peggy Mann; 3/12/49 w/ Gene Tierney; 3/26/49 w/ Madeleine Carroll; 4/2/49 w/ Charles Boyer and Kitty Kallen; 4/9/49 w/ Boris Karloff; 4/23/49 w/ Marlene Dietrich; 4/30/49 w/ Don McNeil and the Dinning Sisters; 5/7/49 w/ Francis Langford; 5/28/49 w/ Eddy Arnold and Lassie; 6/4/49 w/ Dan Dailey; 6/11/49 w/ Kay Starr and Kirk Douglas; and 6/25/49 w/ Don Ameche

Title: Switched On: Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution Author: Albert Glinsky Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 31 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The Moog synthesizer 'bent the course of music forever' Rolling Stone declared. Bob Moog, the man who did that bending, was a lovable geek with Einstein hair and pocket protectors. He walked into history in 1964 when his homemade contraption unexpectedly became a sensation—suddenly everyone wanted a Moog. The Moog's gamechanging sounds saturated sixties counterculture and burst into the disco party in the seventies to set off the electronic dance music movement. Bob had singlehandedly founded the synth industry and became a star. But he was also going broke. He struggled to hang on to his inventions, his business, and his very name. Bob's story upends our notions of success and wealth, showing that the two don't always go together. In Switched On, author Albert Glinsky draws on exclusive access to Bob Moog's personal archives and his probing interviews with Bob's family and a multitude of associates, for this first complete biography of the man and his work. Switched On takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride at turns triumphant, heartbreaking, and frequently laugh out loud absurd—a nuanced trip through the world of this legendary inventor who altered the course of music.

Walker Narrator: Phil Thron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 34 minutes Release date: February 14, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Born and raised in rural Mississippi and the even balmier climes of central Florida, Red Barber, at the age of thirty-two, became one of New York City's most influential citizens as the play-by-play announcer for the Brooklyn Dodgers. But behind all the base hits, balls, and strikes lies a compelling story that dramatizes the shifting expectations and roles of a public figure—the sports broadcaster—as he adapted to complex cultural changes throughout the course of twentieth-century American life. Red Barber follows the trajectory of Barber's long career from radio and television play-by-play man for the Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers, and New York Yankees to his work calling college and professional football games, his nine-year tenure as director of sports for CBS Radio, and his second acts as an Episcopal lay reader, sportswriter, and weekly guest with Bob Edwards on NPR's Morning Edition. This talented public figure was also a private man committed to rigorous self-examination and willing to evolve and grow under the influence of changing times. Ultimately Red Barber traces the career of a true radio and television pioneer who was committed to the civic responsibility of mass media. Barber firmly believed the most important role of a broadcaster was telling the truth and promoting public well-being.

Green Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Cinema has had a hugely influential role on global culture in the twentieth century at multiple levels: social, political, and educational. The part of British cinema in this has been controversial—often derided as a whole, but also vigorously celebrated, especially in terms of specific films and film-makers. In this Very Short Introduction, Charles Barr considers films and filmmakers, and studios and sponsorship, against the wider view of changing artistic, socio-political, and industrial climates over the decades of the twentieth century. Considering British cinema in the wake of one of the most familiar of cinematic reference points—Alfred Hitchcock—Barr traces how British cinema has developed its own unique path, and has since been celebrated for its innovative approaches and distinctive artistic language.

Title: Out in L.A.: The Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1983 Author: Hamish Duncan Narrator: John Bricker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The Red Hot Chili Peppers were going to be a one-time act for a friend's album release party. Forty years later the funk rock band is arguably one of the best known and the longest running in the United States. Everything that happened in 1983 set the course for the rest of the band's career. The scrappy band quickly rose to scene-wide fame, playing all over Los Angeles, and gaining fans and media attention wherever they performed. Before the year was out, they had played approximately thirty shows, put together an early, beloved repertoire, recorded a blistering demo that secured them a recording contract with EMI/Enigma, and lost two of their founding members to a rival band. Out in L.A. is an attempt at finding out exactly what happened during that first year and exploring what it is that makes the Red Hot Chili Peppers so compelling and fresh, even as they continue on their musical journey today.

Title: [Spanish] - El milagro del Prado Author: José Calvo Poyato Narrator: Vicente Quintana Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 29, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: La polémica evacuación de sus obras maestras durante la guerra civil por el Gobierno de la República. El estallido de la guerra civil no solo trastornó radicalmente la vida y destino de todos los españoles, sino que provocó un auténtico terremoto en el patrimonio histórico y artístico del país. Además de detallar los destrozos provocados por las propias acciones bélicas, el autor recuerda los incendios y desmanes que, en zona republicana, sufrieron las instituciones religiosas y se detiene en la oscura historia del Vita y las piezas del Museo Arqueológico. Sin embargo, 'El milagro del Prado' se centra en la mayor amenaza para el patrimonio artístico español durante la guerra: la supervivencia de los más importantes cuadros del Museo del Prado, sacados durante meses y sometidos a unos riesgos innecesarios que podrían haber tenido un final trágico. Con su característico estilo ágil y directo, Calvo Poyato nos sitúa en el Madrid de comienzos de la guerra y nos sumerge en las vicisitudes a que quedó expuesto el que quizá sea el mayor tesoro español: las insustituibles piezas maestras del Prado. Una epopeya internacional —digna de una novela de aventuras— llena de intereses inconfesables, decisiones más que discutibles y reencuentros inesperados.

Title: Roadhouse Blues: Morrison, The Doors, and the Death Days of the Sixties Author: Bob Batchelor Narrator: Bj Harrison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 13 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Shrouded in mystery and the swirling psychedelic sounds of the Sixties, the Doors have captivated listeners across seven decades. Jim Morrison—haunted, beautiful, and ultimately doomed—transformed from rock god to American icon. With each successive generation of fans, the Doors become more popular and transcendent. Yet the band's full significance is buried beneath layers of mythology and folklore. In Roadhouse Blues, Bob Batchelor presents an epic tale of one of rock's (and America's) most significant periods, as the Age of Aquarius gave way to a new age of mayhem, presidential misdeeds, and murder. Batchelor combines cultural history, musical and lyrical analysis, and a broad stroke of pop-culture mythos to give fresh perspective on a pivotal time. Candid, authoritative, and utterly absorbing, Roadhouse Blues is a biography of a man, a band, and an era that set the tone for the contemporary world. Beyond the mythology, the hype, and the mystique around Morrison's untimely death, this book takes listeners on a roller-coaster ride, examining the impact the band had on America as the nation veered from decadence to debauchery. 'We're gonna have a real good time!'

Title: The Things I Came Here With: A Memoir Author: Chris Macdonald Narrator: Max Lloyd-Jones Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: “Does it hurt?” When you’re a tattoo artist, that’s the most universal question. For Chris MacDonald, the answer is simple: hurts less than a broken heart. Those words are painted above the entrance to his shop, Under My Thumb Tattoos, as a reminder. Chris and his brothers were as wild as the wind, in their house among the fields of Alliston, Ontario, when their parents divorced. Shell-shocked, they were uprooted and brought to Toronto by their dad. Their mother’s mental illness worsened in the aftermath, and she disappeared. As a teenager, Chris left home and found himself immersed in the city’s underbelly, a world where drugs, skateboarding, and punk rock reigned. Between the youth shelters, suicidal thoughts, and haunted apartments, a light shined: and it was art. He eventually found himself following the path of his brother, Rob, and pursuing life as a tattooist. Then, at the height of a destructive summer, everything changed: he met Megan, the girl who would become his rock of ages. This remarkable memoir examines what tattooing means to MacDonald and traces the connection his artistic motives have to both his family and childhood. The Things I Came Here With is about how crucial our past is to understanding our future, but it’s also a love letter to his daughter about the importance of expression, life’s uncertainty, and beauty.

Title: [Spanish] - Tenía tanto que darte: Amor, música, ansiedad, sueños y locura Author: Nena Daconte Narrator: Nena Daconte, Máximo Huerta Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: December 15, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Un honesto relato en primera persona sobre los límites del éxito y el fracaso, del amor y el odio a uno mismo. Una historia de amor, música, ansiedad, sueños y locura. Volvió otra vez la primavera y yo volví a sacar del bolso un cuaderno. Pero no era el cuaderno de las canciones. Era este cuaderno que tienes entre las manos. Al principio estaba asustada, no te voy a engañar, pero esta vez me sentía más tranquila. Sonreía con los ojos llenos de polvo de estrellas... Espera, espera... ¿te has perdido? No te preocupes, te explico rápido: en 2002 entré en Operación Triunfo, pero me expulsaron la primera. Me convertí en la perdedora más famosa de España. Tres años después, formé el grupo Nena Daconte. No era la primera vez quetenía un grupo, pero en esta ocasión dimos en la diana. Nos fichó Universal y llegó el éxito arrollador. En qué estrella estará sonaba grande y con derecho propio. Premios, giras, todas las puertas abiertas... Pero en aquella época fumaba porros y empecé a abusar del alcohol. Comenzó una etapa de autodestrucción que terminó en mi primer brote psicótico. Un año después, con la canción Tenía tanto que darte el éxito fue imparable, demoledor. Continuaron las paranoias, la ansiedad y el miedo. Difícil combinación. Todo era malo en mi cabeza. El triunfo me sentaba fatal, la culpa me comía por dentro y destruía todo lo que viniera de mí. Hicimos más de doscientos conciertos en un año. Mi salud mental empeoró. Desde entonces, tuve varios diagnósticos psiquiátricos diferentes: depresión psicótica, trastorno bipolar de la personalidad, ansiedad... Un médico me dijo una vez que con los años se iría agravando. Y así fue. De todas las relaciones tóxicas que tenía, la peor de todas era con la música, así que lo dejé. Abandoné. Desaparecí. Hui. Al menos hasta hoy, cuando volví a sacar del bolso este cuaderno... He hecho un largo viaje hasta llegar aquí. ¿Quieres saber cómo fue? Reseñas: «Con Mai es fácil ponerse de su lado, es la ganadora y la perdedora. Eso la convierte en especial porque de ahí solo puede salir una conquista personal. Y así es ella en este libro». Maxim Huerta «A raíz de que Nena Daconte publicase su libro mucha gente me pedía que hablara con ella. No lo entendía, nunca la había relacionado con la salud mental». Ángel Martín «Hay que ser muy valiente para abrirse en canal y explicar en público lo que cuenta Nena Daconte. Un testimonio desgarrador y más que nunca necesario, en estos tiempos en los que ocultamos nuestro dolor tras los filtros de las aplicaciones». Carme Chaparro «Un libro muy interesante. Cuenta con muchísima naturalidad cosas como su relación con el alcohol. Mai Meneses es una mujer con éxito, reconocida, con premios que sin embargo ha sentido que no merecía lo que le estaba pasando». Jorge Javier Vázquez «Testimonios como estos son los que están ayudando a sacar de la cueva la realidad de las enfermedades mentales». Carles Francino «Sincera crónica de su éxito musical y caída en el pozo de la enfermedad mental». Victor Amela

Title: Betty White's Pearls of Wisdom: Life Lessons from a Beloved American Treasure Author: Patty Sullivan Narrator: Patty Sullivan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 13, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A beautiful tribute to Betty White, one of the most beloved and treasured American icons Betty White’s award-winning career spanned seven decades. From the early days of television on the game-show circuit to her unforgettable roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, and Hot in Cleveland, she was the first lady of television. With her irreverent wit and comedic timing, she was a force of nature forever cherished by fans young and old. In Betty White’s Pearls of Wisdom, listeners will find a more intimate look into Betty’s life as told through the eyes of Patty Sullivan, her lifelong friend and adopted family member. “My remembrances are perhaps an echo of things already said, but I hope my stories hold up a mirror, another reflection of her essence and how she affected my life so profoundly.” Patty met Betty in the late 1960s, and the Sullivans—Patty, her husband, Tom, and their two children—enjoyed a rich relationship and amazing closeness through Betty’s final days. Through her stories we see Betty’s fun-loving banter over a game of Scrabble, her wisdom imparted on a moonlit Christmas sleigh ride, and her passionate advocacy for all members of the animal kingdom. Betty’s uncompromising values were the authentic core of the life she lived and savored—tasting every minute along the way. Betty White’s Pearls of Wisdom gives you a glimpse into the personal relationship with “her Sullivans,” and the pearls of wisdom she imparted that forever transformed their lives.

Title: [German] - Mozart - Genius und Eros Author: Eva Gesine Baur Narrator: Cathrin Störmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 21 minutes Release date: December 9, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Die zwei Seiten eines GeniesEva Gesine Baur erzählt Mozarts dissonantes Leben, ohne zu beschönigen, dass der Schöpfer unfassbarer Musik auch eine schwarze Seite hatte: Sich seines göttlichen Talents bewusst, log, trickste und intrigierte er. Er verschenkte Glückseligkeiten und verteilte Bösartigkeiten. Die Biografie versucht, diesen Abgrund auszuloten. Mozart selbst hat das Problem in die Welt gesetzt, mit der sich seine Verehrer und seine Biografen herumschlagen: Er schrieb Briefe, die seine menschlichen Schwächen bloßlegen. Auch andere Zeitzeugnisse zeigen einen Genius, der alles andere als göttlich war. Seinen Vater, Salieri oder seine Frau Constanze zu Sündenböcken zu machen, verbieten die Fakten. Das Verständnis für das Werk und den Mann Mozart voneinander zu trennen erklärte bereits der Philosoph Norbert Elias als 'künstlich, irreführend und unnötig'. Wer weiß, wie rastlos und ruhelos seine Mitmenschen den Zappelphilipp Mozart erlebten, dem erschließt sich, warum er auf etwa 600 vollendete Werke 160 Fragmente hinterließ. Mozarts Leiden an seiner äußeren Hässlichkeit hilft, seine Begierde nach dem Schönen zu verstehen. Eva Gesine Baur macht deshalb den Widerspruch als Essenz von Mozarts Wesen und Werk zum Kern der Lebenserzählung: Es ist derselbe Widerspruch, der den Eros kennzeichnet, wie er in Platons 'Gastmahl' geschildert wird. Mit diesem Eros teilt Mozart die Rastlosigkeit. Mit ihm teilt er seine Tragik und sein Geheimnis: Er ist ein Mittler zwischen dem Überirdischen und dem Irdischen. Und daher ein unfassbares Phänomen.-

They beefed up the City Slickers with extra musicians in every locale for the big band numbers. Guests heard here include the fabulous Mills Brothers (doing their evergreen “Paper Doll”), Burl Ives, Mel Torme, Vic Damone, Eddy Arnold, and Frankie Laine.

Fotografie ist nicht, wie von manchen vielleicht vermutet, nur ein Motiv zu wählen, eine gute Kamera zu besitzen und den Auslöser zu drücken. Gerade im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung ist es ein Leichtes, auf ,,löschen'' zu drücken und das Foto einfach erneut zu machen, wenn es etwas gibt, was nicht stimmig ist oder vielleicht der Ausschnitt nicht passt. Fotografie ist so viel mehr als das. Zugegeben, eine vernünftige Ausrüstung spielt eine Rolle, aber im Grunde ist Fotografie eine Summe aus vielen Aspekten. Zum einen braucht es Leidenschaft, Verständnis der Kameratechnik und das Wissen, welche Rolle die Lichtverhältnisse für die verschiedenen Motive, spielen.

Title: Elvis Presley Untamed Heart Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 21, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Elvis Aaron Presley or simply Elvis, was born in Tupelo, Mississippi ON January 8, 1935, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. Presley's first RCA Victor single, 'Heartbreak Hotel', was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts, however, and guided by his manager Colonel Tom Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically panned. In 1968, following a break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency.. Years of prescription drug abuse and unhealthy eating habits severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42. In this dynamic, hard-hitting audiobook, music biographer Geoffrey Giuliano examines the turbulent life and times of Elvis Presley. With an in-depth, insightful narration by the author as well as rare, archival, unheard interviews. Here is the perfect collection celebrating the king of rock for every dedicated fan, music historian, the media as well as all school, library, institutional, and university collections. An ultra-rare, exciting audio biography!

Selbst wenn du glaubst, du bist es nicht.' Maxi Gstettenbauer hat Depressionen und erleidet häufig Panikattacken - was für einen Stand-up-Comedian mit regelmäßigen Auftritten im Fernsehen und auf der Bühne keine ganz ideale Kombi ist. Dennoch: Maxi stellt sich ins Rampenlicht, ist erfolgreich, füllt Clubs und Hallen und hat keine Lust mehr, seine Erkrankung zu verheimlichen. Deshalb schreibt er dieses Buch: für all jene, die mit den gleichen Schwierigkeiten zu kämpfen haben, die verstehen wollen, wie sich eine Depression anfühlt. Und dabei wählt er eine Sprache, die seiner Comedy und seinem Publikum entspricht: klar, witzig, unverblümt und sehr unterhaltsam.

Title: [Spanish] - Cómo la puntuación cambió la historia: Signos de civilización Author: Bård Borch Michalsen Narrator: Gustavo Dardes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 42 minutes Release date: November 14, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: La puntuación es un sistema de convenciones que otorga mayor precisión y profundidad a las letras y palabras, dotándolas de color y emoción, tono y ritmo. De hecho, tiene consecuencias aún más drásticas: los signos de puntuación no son únicamente una parte importante de nuestro código idiomático, sino que se transformaron nada menos que en una de las fuerzas impulsoras en el desarrollo de toda nuestra civilización occidental. Escribimos mejor, más rápido y con mayor eficacia si usamos los signos de puntuación de forma consciente, coherente y de manera más o menos acorde a las convenciones establecidas por nuestra sociedad. Escribir es comunicar y, como tantas otras, la palabra 'comunicación' tiene su origen en el latín: comunicare. La etimología del término tiene que ver con comunidad, comprensión y conexiones. Bard Borch Michalsen

Jagruti would include moving from the belief of 'I am Chandu' (reader should use his or her own name), to that of 'I am Shuddhatma (Pure Self) only'; 'I am not the doer'; 'I am only the Gnata-Drashta (Knower-Seer)'.

Compiled in this Audio book is the heart touching speech of Param Pujya Dadashri; wherein he discusses the various methods to remain in jagruti, which is of prime importance to attain salvation. To gain and maintain jagruti, Param Pujya Dadashri has shared his vision of separation from the self, how to be Gnata-Drashta by talking to oneself, sometimes rebuking oneself for having done any wrong, how to understand and apply the concepts of charge-discharge of karmas, etc.

Title: [German] - [German Edition} Surrender - 40 Songs, eine Geschichte (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Bono Narrator: Mark Bremer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 33 minutes Release date: November 1, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Bono - Künstler, Aktivist und Sänger der irischen Rock-Band U2 - legt seine umfassende Autobiografie mit dem Titel SURRENDER vor. Bono ist einer der international bekanntesten Musiker. In SURRENDER schreibt Bono zum ersten Mal selbst über sein Leben und über die Menschen, die ihm nahestehen. Er berichtet von seiner Kindheit in Dublin, vom plötzlichen Tod seiner Mutter, die er mit 14 verlor, von U2s unglaublichem Aufstieg zu einer der einflussreichsten Rock-Bands der Welt, bis hin zu seinem Engagement gegen Aids und den Hunger in der Welt. Aufrichtig, tiefsinnig und auch selbstironisch gibt Bono einen Einblick in sein Leben - wie seine Familie, seine Freunde, seine Musik und sein Glaube ihn stützen, herausfordern und formen. SURRENDER ist ein literarisches Memoir in der Tradition der großen irischen Geschichten-Erzähler. Nach sieben Jahren Arbeit ist eine faszinierende, detailreiche Geschichte über seine Familie, Religion und sein Leben als Künstler, Musiker und Aktivist entstanden. Der Untertitel '40 Songs, One Story' bezieht sich auf die 40 Kapitel des Buchs, die jeweils mit dem Titel eines Songs von U2 überschrieben sind. Zu jedem der Kapitel hat Bono eine Zeichnung angefertigt. Bono über SURRENDER: 'Als ich begann, dieses Buch zu schreiben, hoffte ich, genauer aufzeichnen zu können, was ich bisher in meinen Songs nur skizziert habe. Die Menschen, Orte und Chancen in meinem Leben. Das Wort 'Hingabe' hat für mich große Bedeutung. Denn sie war mir nicht in die Wiege gelegt, als ich in den 70ern in Irland mit - musikalisch gesprochen - erhobenen Fäusten aufgewachsen bin. Es ist ein Wort, das ich nur umkreiste, als ich anfing, mir erste Gedanken über das Buch zu machen. Ich mühe mich immer noch ab, diese Demut lehrende Eigenschaft zu meistern - in der Band, in meiner Ehe, in meinem Glauben, in meinem Leben als Aktivist. SURRENDER ist die Geschichte eines Pilgers, der nicht so recht vorankommt ... mit einer Menge Spaß dabei.'
