Jede Reise entführt euch in eine magische Welt voller Fantasie, Abenteuer und Entspannung. In dieser Traumreise begibst du dich auf einen mittelalterlichen Markt voller Farben, Musik und freundlicher Tiere. Zusammen mit Fips, dem fröhlichen Eichhörnchen, erkundest du das bunte Treiben: Ihr lauscht der Musik eines alten Lautenspielers, probiert warmen Apfelkuchen und bewundert kunstvolle Töpferwaren und die Kunststücke eines Seiltänzers. Der Duft von frisch gebackenem Brot und würzigen Gewürzen erfüllt die Luft, und die goldene Abendsonne taucht den Markt in ein warmes Licht. Am Ende des Tages versammelst du dich mit Minou, der sprechenden Katze, an der Feuerstelle, bevor du sanft in den Schlaf gleitest, umhüllt von der Ruhe der Nacht.

Mission to Mao: US Intelligence and the Chinese Communists in World War II by Sara B. Castro

Title: Mission to Mao: US Intelligence and the Chinese Communists in World War II Author: Sara B. Castro Narrator: Eric Jason Martin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 26 minutes Release date: November 26, 2024 Genres: Asia Publisher's Summary: From 1941 to 1947, the United States planted a liaison mission in the headquarters of Chinese Communist forces behind the lines. Nicknamed the 'Dixie Mission,' for its location in 'rebel' territory, it was an interagency delegation that included intelligence officers from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Mission to Mao is a social history of the OSS officers in the field that reveals the weakness of United States intelligence diplomacy in the 1940s. Drawing on over 14,000 unpublished records from five archives as well as white papers and memoirs from the participants, Sara B. Castro demonstrates how the OSS officers clashed with political appointees and Washington over the direction of the United States relationship with the Chinese Communists. Initially, the OSS officers were sent to gather intelligence that would help the war effort against Japan, but interagency and political conflicts erupted over whether the mission would later involve operations with the Communists. Castro shows how potential benefits for the war effort were thwarted by politicization and the OSS officers' own biases and blind spots. Mission to Mao is a fresh look at United States intelligence in World War II China and takes listeners beyond the history of 'China hands' versus American anticommunists, introducing more nuance.

Killing Gilda by Yahya Gharagozlou

Title: Killing Gilda Author: Yahya Gharagozlou Narrator: Norman Thibeault Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 57 minutes Release date: November 14, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A beautiful nineteen-year-old named Gilda becomes the mistress of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. She dreams of becoming his wife. The narrator, in love with Gilda, follows clues about her death two years after the affair. During an assassination attempt on the Shah, he gets shot on the steps of the Marble Palace. As he puts it, 'I took a bullet for my king up the ass and got a jester's seat, the best seat, to watch the fall of the Persian Empire.' Killing Gilda is infused with intrigue, but at its heart, it's a love story that follows the best traditions of classics like The Beauty and the Beast. We enter the rarified atmosphere of the court, the young woman's life, and the reasons for her death. We follow the characters through the Paris of Madame Claude, the Shah's ski resort at St. Moritz, and Doctor Pitanguy's plastic surgery clinic in Baden Baden. The story, with its scheming characters and rare glimpses into Shah's private life, eschews easy labels. The Shah's sexual adventurism didn't stop his liberal policies for women's rights.

IT RUINED THEIR LIVES. Everyone in Mythria knows the story of how best friends Beatrice and Elowen, handsome ex-bandit Clare, and valiant leader Galwell the Great defended the realm from darkness. It’s a tale beloved by all—except the heroes. They haven’t spoken in a decade, devastated by what their quest cost them. But when they all receive an invitation to the queen of Mythria’s wedding, it’s a summons they can’t refuse . . . and a reunion for the ages—with Clare secretly not over his long-ago fling with Beatrice, Beatrice fighting the guilt she feels over how everything ended, Elowen unprepared for the return of her ex-love (the cunning Vandra), and all of them lost without Galwell. And if reuniting with former friends and lovers wasn’t perilous enough, dark forces from their past have also returned. Dusting off old weapons and old instincts, Beatrice, Clare, and Elowen will face undead nemeses, crystal caves, enchanted swords, coffee shops, games of magical Truth or Dare, and, hardest of all, their past—rife with wounds never healed and romances never forgotten. This time around, will their story end in happily ever after? “Witty, romantic, and addictively fun!” —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop “If you like stories full of voice, humor, and heart, look no further.” —Megan Bannen, USA Today bestselling author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy “A terrific read for anyone who loves to get swept away by the magic of a fabulous fantasy novel.” —India Holton, USA Today bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels
