Publisher's summary
Romanzo storico ambientato nel piccolo cantone di Zugo e in una Svizzera dall’atmosfera “gattopardesca”, il racconto inizia poco prima della lotta politica realmente avvenuta fra il partito dell’avvocato Joseph Anton Schumacher e quello del barone Fidel Zurlauben. Tra subdole manipolazioni, faide famigliari, disuguaglianze e invidie, il Cantone nel Settecento è un piccolo mondo scosso da un pervasivo conflitto sociale, che sfocerà in una profonda spaccatura della popolazione, portando al rovesciamento del patriziato dal governo. Gli aristocratici verranno spogliati della loro autorità dal demagogo Schumacher che per la sua essenza oscura, moralista e radicale verrà soprannominato “il Nero”. In un vortice di colpi di scena, amori contrastati, giochi di potere ed esuli, per tutti il destino sarà inesorabile.
L’audiolibro è tratto dall’ ultimo capolavoro di J. Spillmann Der schwarze Schumacher (1903) e tradotto per la prima volta in italiano nel 2022. Un classico della letteratura svizzera di lingua tedesca che merita di esser conosciuto anche in italiano.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,307
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Now: Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s. But the one man who responds to her profile, a man calling himself Tony Fortin, is not who he says he is. Linda recognises him immediately. He’s Marcus, her second husband. But that’s impossible.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
