Ich werde das Meer nie wieder hören. Dieser Satz, den ich einst von einem Betroffenen hörte, brannte sich in meinen Kopf ein und festigte die Hoffnungslosigkeit in mir, nie wieder gesund zu werden. Ich heiße dich herzlich willkommen und freue mich, dass du hier bist, um mich durch den einschneidendsten Teil meiner Lebensgeschichte zu begleiten.

Many of us grew up believing in a meritocracy, where hard work and a good education brings rewards. Go to university, get a job, put in the hours and things will be OK. That’s what we were told – but the reality is that life chances and opportunities are no longer shaped by what we learn or earn but by whether we have access to the Bank of Mum and Dad. We’re living in an inheritocracy, where parental support is what matters most – whether that’s covering the cost of university, stumping up for a house deposit or helping with childcare.

Jeder könnte ein Buch über Essen schreiben, das genauso einzigartig wäre wie sein Fingerabdruck, behauptet Alina Bronsky, und schreibt nun ihres: eine höchst subjektive Erzählung über ihre persönliche Beziehung zu Porridge, Schokolade, Butterbrot, Borschtsch oder der Vogelmilchtorte. Denn für sie sind diese Speisen nicht einfach nur Nahrung, sondern ein Mittel der Fürsorge, Emanzipation, emotionalen Erpressung, das mal nach Heimat schmeckt, mal nach Liebe, Hemmungslosigkeit oder Askese.

Jahrhundert nach Christus lebte, war ein antiker Philosophiehistoriker, der das Leben und die Lehren der antiken Philosophen beschrieb - aus heutiger Sicht sehr kurz nach deren Tod! Seine Texte beanspruchen nicht wissenschaftliche Exaktheit; vielmehr erzählt er in Anekdoten - und zwar äußerst unterhaltsam! In diesem knappen Hörstück erörtert er die Philosophie von Epikur, der den Hedonismus lehrte.

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso, read by Sarah Jes Austell. The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion. It was a stolen book. At age 17 she was a dumpster-diving, shoplifting anarchist. By 29 she was the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, a $100 million-plus fashion empire.

Enrico Fermi is unquestionably among the greats of the world's physicists, the most famous Italian scientist since Galileo. Called "the Pope" by his peers, he was regarded as infallible in his instincts and research. His discoveries changed our world; they led to weapons of mass destruction and conversely to life-saving medical interventions.

The founder of modern science and the embodiment of the conflict between science and faith, Galileo remains the most fascinating figure of his age. In this biography, James Reston Jr. provides a lively, vivid portrait of Galileo, taking the listener to the heart of this passionate, embattled, arrogant, and brilliant man.
