In this exclusive audiobook edition, Timothy Snyder combines the original On Tyranny (2017)—20 lessons on how history can instruct our response to the rise of tyranny around the world today—with 20 new lessons that answer the questions everyone is asking about Russia's war on Ukraine. With forays into history, he clarifies the causes of the Russian invasion and the meaning of Ukrainian resistance, and explains the war's connections to threats to democracy around the world. Linking past and present, and speaking only from notes, Snyder delivers an important call to arms and roadmap for resistance, providing invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come. This is the long view we all need, given to us right now by a leading expert.

On Tyranny and On Ukraine, written and read by Timothy Snyder

Read by the author.

Now more than ever, we all face trying situations. The hope we need and hunger for is not a strategy or state of mind, but faith in Jesus. He stands secure for us in the face of every trial, from loss to sickness to injustice. Through 20 short prayers, 10 personal stories of miraculous transformations, and Biblical teachings, Hope in 60 Seconds will help you take the first steps towards a journey of security in the hope of Jesus.

“At twenty-one I was as far from hopeful as anyone could get. Maybe as far as you are now.”

These are the words of Cristina Baker as she considered her traumatic life: from childhood abuse to troubled teen years, to a descent into substance abuse, she resonates with a lost world who understands first-hand how easy it is to lose hope. Then, just as she was about to go to jail for drug possession, the Hero of Hope, Jesus Christ, came into her life and set her on a completely new path.

If you are weary and doubting, Cristina understands. Hope in 60 Seconds will help you to:

Be encouraged and empowered by someone who has been in a similar place of discouragement and discovered Christ’s authority and love,
Learn how Jesus establishes hope and begin to experience it first-hand in the darkest of circumstances,
Grow in your ability to connect with Jesus and find the hope you have longed for all of your life, and
Prove that a connection with Jesus is the ultimate source of hope.
The message of Cristina’s life is Jesus, the hope we need and hunger for—a hope that will stand secure in the face of brokenness, loss, sickness, abuse, a brain tumor diagnosis, injustice, and death. In Hope in 60 Seconds, she shares the steps of her journey to encounter, receive, and walk in the hope of Jesus, and offers you powerful wisdom for how you can take the same journey for yourself.

The Mysterious Benedict Society And The Perilous Journey by Trenton L Stewart, Diana Sudyka

One last client

A week at a beautiful chateau in the south of France – it should be a straightforward final job for Dora. She’s a smart, stunning and discreet escort and Daniel has paid for her services before. This time, all she has to do is convince the assembled guests that she is his girlfriend. Dora is used to playing roles and being whatever men want her to be. It’s all about putting on a front.

One last chance

It will be a last, luxurious look at how the other half lives, before Dora turns her back on the escort world and all its dangers. She has found someone she loves and trusts. With him, she can escape the life she’s trapped in. But when Dora arrives at the chateau, it quickly becomes obvious that nothing is what it seems…

One last secret

Dora finds herself face to face with a man she has never forgotten, the one man who really knows her. And as old secrets surface, it becomes terrifyingly apparent that one last secret could cost Dora her life…

One Last Secret by Adele Parks, read by Kristin Atherton

Bamboo Dub (Album Mix)

From the multi-award-winning author Claire North comes a daring reimagining that breathes life into ancient myth and gives voice to the women who stand defiant in a world ruled by ruthless men. It’s time for the women of Ithaca to tell their tale . . . .

Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca. None of them has returned, and the women of Ithaca have been left behind to run the kingdom.
 
Penelope was barely into womanhood when she wed Odysseus. While he lived, her position was secure. But now, years on, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and suitors are beginning to knock at her door. 
 
No one man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne—not yet. But everyone waits for the balance of power to tip, and Penelope knows that any choice she makes could plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war. Only through cunning, wit, and her trusted circle of maids, can she maintain the tenuous peace needed for the kingdom to survive.
This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before. Beyond Ithaca’s shores, the whims of gods dictate the wars of men. But on the isle, it is the choices of the abandoned women—and their goddesses— that will change the course of the world.

"Claire North brings a powerful, fresh, and unflinching voice to ancient myth—darkly fascinating, raw and breathtaking." —Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne

"Like Penelope at her loom, North weaves and unweaves, teasing out the threads of Homeric myth to recombine them into something unique, wonderful, and urgently contemporary." —M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts

 My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year – before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people – I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that’s all over now.

Now there’s Solitaire. And Michael Holden.

I really don’t.

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, read by Kate Rudd

Extrait de "Le Seigneur des Anneaux 1 - La fraternité de l'anneau" de J.R.R. Tolkien lu par Thierry Janssen. ©Editions Audiolib. Parution le 14 février 2018.

https://www.audiolib.fr/livre-audio/le-seigneur-des-anneaux-1-la-fraternite-de-lanneau-9782356419569

C’est un dangereux héritage que Bilbo Bessac cède à son neveu avant de disparaître : l’anneau de pouvoir forgé par Sauron et dérobé jadis à Gollum. Le mage noir n’aspire qu’à retrouver son arme et sa puissance, et déjà ses cavaliers font route vers le Comté… Pour leur échapper et détruire la menace que représente cet anneau, le jeune Hobbit, Frodo, et ses compagnons commencent la périlleuse traversée de la Terre du Milieu, dans l’espoir d’atteindre la Faille du Destin, au coeur du Mordor.
Chef-d’oeuvre de la fantasy, découverte d’un monde imaginaire, de sa géographie, de son histoire et de ses langues, mais aussi réfl exion sur le pouvoir et la mort, Le Seigneur des Anneaux est sans équivalent par sa puissance d’évocation, son souffle et son ampleur.
Cette nouvelle traduction prend en compte la dernière version du texte anglais, les indications laissées par Tolkien à l’intention des traducteurs et les découvertes permises par les publications posthumes proposées par Christopher Tolkien.
