24 Stunden Aus Dem Leben Einer Frau

Johannes Weigle, Stefan Zweig

Die elegante 67 jährige englische Dame Mrs. C. erzählt von den außergewöhnlichsten 24 Stunden ihres Lebens vor über 20 Jahren: Die aufrüttelnde Begegnung mit einem verzweifelten Spieler ändert schlagartig ihr Leben. Sie kommt dabei den seelischen Abgründen von haltloser Leidenschaft beim Spiel und in der Liebe gefährlich nahe. Der österreichische Schriftsteller Stefan Zweig ist zweifellos einer der größten Erzähler Europas. Jeder Satz funkelt in sprachlicher Schönheit und strahlt in überwältigender Bildhaftigkeit. Die psychologisch feingezeichneten Figuren offenbaren präzise und brillant, wieviel unter der kontrollierten Oberfläche der Konvention verborgen liegt. Das Duo Phantasma mit Michael Stülpnagel (Erzähler) und Johannes Weigle (Soundtrack) bringt die Worte zum Klingen und Sie erleben diese mitreißende Novelle durch die Kraft der Phantasie in ihrer ganzen Einzigartigkeit. Gekürzte Lesung.

Hungarian Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Hungarian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Hungarian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
In Unit 1 you will hear Hungarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Hungarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Hungarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Hungarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Hungarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

For F*ck's Sake - Why Swearing...

Rebecca Roache

Why do we love to swear so much? Why do we get so offended when others do it? 
 
 
 
In this lively and amusing exploration of the various puzzles that surround swearing, philosopher Rebecca Roache argues that what makes swearing offensive is not really the words at all: the offensiveness lies in what we don't say. The unspoken—and usually unconscious—inferences that speakers and listeners make about each other are key to explaining swearwords' capacity to shock. Swearing is unique among etiquette breaches in that it is designed to convey disrespect—swearing packs more of a punch than failing to say "please." 
 
 
 
Roache helps listeners understand how swearing works, celebrating its power as a communicative tool and source of humor while also taking a close and serious look at specific words—those directed at women and women's bodies, for example—that function in particular, complex ways. She also examines the often-hypocritical ways swearing can be punished or censored. 
 
 
 
Finally, Roache helps listeners appreciate that swearing isn't always bad. When it's not used offensively, it can foster social intimacy, can help people withstand pain, and might even help us curb our violent impulses.
