Story
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Fast jeder wird diese Zeile vervollständigen können. Aber erst wenn Gert Westphal solche "Theaterstücke im Kleinen" rezitiert, entfalten Balladen ihre ganze Schönheit und Sprachkunst. Der "König der Vorleser" nutzt sein ausdrucksstarkes Stimmrepertoire für die Meisterstücke der deutschen Lyrik und bringt neben beliebten Klassikern auch unbekanntere Schätze zum Klingen.

Story
Adelbert von Chamisso wurde 1781 in Châlons-en-Champagne geboren. Er starb 1838 in Berlin. Die Novelle Peter Schlemihl (1814) ist die Ich-Erzählung eines Mannes, der gegen unermesslichen Reichtum seinen Schatten an den Teufel verkauft. Die leichtfüßige Mischung aus Märchen und Bildungsgeschichte macht das Werk zu einem der faszinierendsten Vertreter romantischer Novellenkunst.

Story
Ein rätselhafter Mann macht dem jungen Peter Schlemihl ein Angebot: Er soll seinen Schatten eintauschen gegen einen Geldbeutel, der niemals leer wird. Schlemihl stimmt leichtfertig zu und begibt sich damit in die Rolle des ewigen Außenseiters. Rückgängig zu machen ist der Handel nicht, es sei denn, er gibt für den Schatten seine Seele her. Schließlich findet Schlemihl Trost in Siebenmeilenstiefeln, mit denen er auf der Suche nach Pflanzen die Welt umrundet. Achim Gertz liest aus dieser wundersamen Geschichte, die den Naturforscher und Dichter Adelbert von Chamisso 1814 schlagartig weltberühmt machte.

Story
Chamisso verwendet in seiner 1814 erschienen Erzählung eine Fülle alter Märchen- und Sagenmotive: Der Name der Hauptperson ist hebräischen Ursprungs; an den Namen Theophilus knüpft sich auch die Sage vom Pakt mit dem Teufel (Gottlieb - Theophil); das Motiv des Mannes ohne Schatten beruht auf einer Begegnung mit Fouqué. Schlemihl, der seine Geschichte dem fiktiven Herausgeber Chamisso in elf Briefen erzählt, verkauft danach seinen Schatten und ist von da an von der Gesellschaft ausgeschlossen.

Story
Adelbert von Chamissos Kunstmärchen des Peter Schelmihl, der seinen Schatten verkauft, entstand 1813 vor dem Hintergrund der Befreiungskriege gegen Napoleon. Chamisso konnte an diesen als in Preußen lebender gebürtiger Franzose nicht teilnehmen. Auch mehr als 200 Jahre nach seiner Entstehung hat dieses Werk nichts von seiner Anziehungskraft eingebüßt - besonders in dieser Hörfassung, in der Jan Terstiege dem Protagonisten seine Stimme auf beeindruckende Weise leiht.

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.
