Welches Kind wünscht sich nicht manchmal, eine echte Prinzessin oder ein echter Prinz zu sein? In einem Schloss zu leben, das so groß ist, dass man sich darin verlaufen kann; viele Diener zu haben, wunderschöne Kleider und eine goldene Krone So stellt man sich das Leben von Königskindern vor - aber war das auch in Wirklichkeit so? Christiane Böhm gibt in ihrem Hörbuch einen sehr privaten Einblick in das Leben echter Prinzen und Prinzessinnen, den Kindern des bayerischen Königshauses im 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Dafür hat sie zum Teil noch nie veröffentlichte Quellen zusammengetragen: lustige, traurige, erstaunliche und ganz alltägliche Geschichten aus der Kindheit der Wittelsbacher Sprösslinge. Sogar über historische Berühmtheiten wie Ludwig II. oder Sisi erfährt man viel Neues! 'Kurzweilig und detailreich' (Süddeutsche Zeitung) erzählt das Hörbuch, was jedes Kind interessiert
Nirgendwo passieren spannendere Geschichten als auf der Opernbühne! Es geht um Liebe und Verrat, um Eifersucht, Leidenschaft und sogar um Mord Die großen Gefühle sind dabei manchmal in etwas komplizierte Handlungen verpackt. Das Hörbuch erzählt die interessantesten und bekanntesten Opern nach und bedient sich dabei einer zugleich einfachen und doch lebendigen Sprache. Wir erfahren von der sternflammenden Königin der Nacht, von Carmen, die José ins Verderben treibt, von dem Sänger Orpheus, der seine Geliebte aus dem Totenreich holen will, sich aber, als er sie gefunden hat und sie hinausführt, nicht nach ihr umdrehen darf, und von Siegfried, der heldenhaft gegen den Drachen kämpft. Die Musik spielt in all diesen Geschichten eine wichtige Rolle. Ein Hörbuch für kleine - aber auch für große Opernfans!
Baseball, basketball, football, tennis, track and field — no matter the game or competition, Jackie Robinson hit it out of the park. His exceptional talents should have easily landed him a career in pro sports. But in the United States in the 1930s and ’40s, opportunities like those were closed to athletes like Jackie: his skin was the wrong color.
Jackie settled for playing baseball in the Negro Leagues but chafed at being unable to prove himself in the majors. Then in 1946, Branch Rickey, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, decided that he was going to break segregation in the Major Leagues and recruited Jackie. Jackie accepted the offer, knowing that it would be rough going. Again and again, he exhibited courage, restraint, and phenomenal talent, despite being the target of cruel and sometimes violent hatred.
In this compelling biography, award-winning author Doreen Rappaport chronicles the extraordinary courage and dignity of Jackie Robinson, who not only broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball but also changed white Americans’ perceptions of black Americans. His impact reached beyond the world of sports: he won over the hearts of all Americans and became an American hero.
Many of the political issues we struggle with today have their roots in the US Constitution.
Husband-and-wife team Cynthia and Sanford Levinson take readers back to the creation of this historic document and discuss how contemporary problems were first introduced--then they offer possible solutions. Think Electoral College, gerrymandering, even the Senate. Many of us take these features in our system for granted. But they came about through haggling in an overheated room in 1787, and we're still experiencing the ramifications.
Each chapter in this timely and thoughtful exploration of the Constitution's creation begins with a story--all but one of them true-- that connects directly back to a section of the document that forms the basis of our society and government. From the award-winning team, Cynthia Levinson, children's book author, and Sanford Levinson, constitutional law scholar, Fault Lines in the Constitution will encourage exploration and discussion from young and old readers alike.
