On the way home, I turned onto a street demonstration where people were yelling and burning tires. I told my son it was a street repair crew, but I don’t think he believed me. With the windows down we were suffocating on the rubber smoke. Even with the windows up, John and I were coughing and gagging from the smell of burning rubber. I was afraid to open the windows again because the demonstrators had surrounded the car and were pounding on the hood, the sides, and trunk.

As part of the major heritage interview program conducted in 2006 by the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA) in collaboration with the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah, Roman Polanski recorded his account of his childhood in Poland during the war. It was while writing that he remembered asking his father, in 1973, to write his memoirs. He recently rediscovered this account, which he had never read before. It now forms the second part of this unique book, Letters to My Son by Ryszard Polanski.

Alaska: A Land Without Mercy. On this trail, probability is a rumor—whispered through grit, grief, and the rattle of what’s left standing. From a young age, David was thrust into the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, working in remote villages building homes in some of the world’s most isolated corners. Amid breathtaking beauty and deadly danger, he faced not only the elements but also the influence of a hardworking, persuasive stepfather, cultural clashes, and deep psychological trials.

Abolitionist, fanatic, terrorist, freedom fighter, alleged murderer—all of those labels fit John Brown. Yet he also qualified as a mid-nineteenth-century celebrity. Brown’s lifespan covered most of the period between the Revolution and the Civil War, a time of the still-early beginnings of the United States. Only then had his kind of “celebrity” started to matter. From different economic and moral perspectives, politically aware Americans clashed over different visions for the future of the country.

Stefanie Wallys Roman Rosa ist eine Hommage an die eigene Großmutter und gleichzeitig Sinnbild für viele Frauen des 20. Jahrhunderts. In den patriarchalen und konservativen Strukturen der Wilhelminischen Zeit geboren und aufgewachsen, mussten diese Frauen immer wieder neu anfangen. Ihre Biografien sind geprägt von zwei Weltkriegen, der Weimarer Republik und dem Dritten Reich, von der Besatzungszeit und dem Wiederaufbau, der Teilung Deutschlands und dem Fall der Mauer.

The Power Broker tells the story of Robert Moses, the single most powerful man in New York for almost half a century and the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Without ever once being elected to office, he created for himself a position of supreme and untouchable authority, allowing him to utterly reshape the city of New York, turning it into the city we know today, while at the same time blighting the lives of millions and remaining accountable to no one.

Discover the remarkable life of Isabella I of Castile... Isabella I of Castile was one of the most pivotal monarchs in history. For some, such words might ring of hyperbole, but for Isabella, it is simply the truth. Her reign didn't just shape Spain—it reshaped the world. Ascending to power during Spain's final push to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula, Isabella completed the centuries-long Reconquista and unified a fractured kingdom. She accomplished this in an era when women rarely wielded sovereign power.

In einer Zeit, in der politische Lagerbildung die Regel ist, zeigt Volker Wissing in diesem Hörbuch, wie eine erfolgreiche demokratische Debattenkultur aussehen müsste – und wie weit wir derzeit davon entfernt sind. Wissing berichtet aus den Schaltzentralen in Berlin und zeichnet ein Bild tiefer Zerwürfnisse und politischer Grabenkämpfe, aber auch von demokratischer Haltung, wenn es wirklich zählt. Denn Verantwortung zu übernehmen heißt konstruktive Politik für Menschen zu machen statt sich in Lagerkämpfen zu verlieren.
