Die Philosophen der Antike formulierten die großen Fragen, die uns bis heute beschäftigen. Kenntnisreich, anschaulich und dabei aufs Wesentliche konzentriert ist diese Sokrates-Biographie für junge Hörer zugleich Einführung in die Philosophie überhaupt. Wer sind wir? Was können wir wissen und erkennen?, wollte Sokrates wissen, einer der Urväter der Philosophie. Und er versuchte, diese Fragen erstmals nicht mehr mit der Berufung auf die Götter zu beantworteten - sondern logisch und rational. Seine Ideen beeinflussten nicht nur die Zeitgenossen, sondern später auch das Christentum, den frühen Islam und unsere modernen Wissenschaften. Arnulf Zitelmann erzählt von dem großen Denker und seinen Visionen. Davon, wie Sokrates die Kunst des Fragens lehrte und dafür den Gifttod starb. Das Hörbuch ist klar und anschaulich erzählt und lässt das große Abenteuer erfahrbar machen, das die Philosophie seit der Antike war - und bis heute ist!
Rom: Der 17-jährige Felix sucht seinen Vater, der aus einem Feldzug gegen die Germanen nicht zurückgekehrt ist, und macht sich auf den Weg in das fremde Land.

Der griechische Philosoph Platon gründete mit seiner 'Akademie' die erste Universität der Welt. Er war ein Schüler des legendären Sokrates, von dem er das Philosophieren lernte und dessen Ideen er in seinen berühmten Dialogen für sich und die Nachwelt aufschrieb. Und obwohl er vor 2500 Jahren starb, in einer Zeit, als die Welt noch ganz anders aussah als heute, sind seine Ideen jung geblieben. Philosophen aller Zeiten haben sich mit ihnen beschäftigt und sich in Zustimmung oder Ablehnung auf sie berufen. Wer sich auf das Abenteuer Philosophie einlassen möchte, kommt an Platon - und an diesem Hörbuch - nicht vorbei! Große und kleine Hörer lernen hier das Leben Platons kennen, die Zeit, in der er lebte und wirkte, und seine faszinierenden Ideen. Kenntnisreich, anschaulich und dabei aufs Wesentliche konzentriert, ist diese Hörbiographie zugleich Einführung in die antike Welt und Werbung für die Philosophie.
When Harold Godwinson is crowned King of England in 1066, William of Normandy contests his right to be king because of an oath Harold had earlier sworn to support William's own acquisition of the throne.
Henty's treatment of this critical time in the history of the English people is even-handed and his portrayal of Harold Godwinson-a king much neglected in our day-is a sympathetic one. Wulf of Steyning, a young Saxon thane in the service of Earl Harold, accompanies him on his fateful trip to Normandy, takes part in the Welsh wars, the Battle of Stamford Bridge, and the Battle of Hastings. Growing to manhood in such tumultuous times, Wulf's fidelity and honor earn him the respect of all he serves.

Liberty or death-this was the choice the people of 14th century Scotland faced if they rose up against their English ruler. Most would say it was no choice at all. Many of the Scottish nobles were English supporters. Few could be expected to rise up against the numerically overwhelming English army. The hero of the story, Archibald Forbes, joins the struggle for Scottish freedom led by the valiant Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The extraordinary valor and personal prowess of these men rival the deeds of the mythical heroes of chivalry. Henty weaves a wonderful story around the actual events of 1314 at Bannockburn.
