Nach der Arbeit und an Wochenenden schrieb Alexander Brändle an seinen Kinderbüchern, Kurzgeschichten und Gedichten - dabei entstand auch das Hörbuch "Duell mit dem Bösen", ein absolut hörenswerter Western! Alexander Brändle (1923-1984) war ein deutscher Kinderbuch- und Science-Fiction-Autor sowie Dichter. Er wurde 1923 als zweites von sieben Kindern in Weingarten/Baden geboren. Nach dem Gymnasium absolvierte er in der Bruchsaler Papiergroßhandlung seiner Tante eine kaufmännische Lehre. Wenig später meldete er sich freiwillig zum Küstendienst der Kriegsmarine und war von 1942 bis 1944 als Funker in Norwegen eingesetzt.

Long before she was one of the Little Rock Nine, Melba Pattillo Beals was a warrior. Frustrated by the laws that kept African Americans separate but very much unequal to whites, she had questions: Why couldn't she drink from a whites-only fountain? Why couldn't she feel safe beyond home - or even within the walls of church? Adults all told her: Hold your tongue. Be patient. Know your place. But Beals had the heart of a fighter - and the knowledge that her true place was a free one.

On a hot day in July 1919, five black youths went swimming in Lake Michigan, unintentionally floating close to the white beach. An angry white man began throwing stones at the boys, striking and killing one. Racial conflict on the beach erupted into days of urban violence that shook the city of Chicago to its foundations. This mesmerizing narrative draws on contemporary accounts as it traces the roots of the explosion that had been building for decades in race relations, politics, business, and clashes of culture.

Le Béarnais, le roi de Navarre, le vert-galant... Et encore le panache blanc, la poule au pot... Ces surnoms et ces symboles personnifient le souverain le plus populaire de notre histoire, tout autant que les portraits sur lesquels ses yeux malins se plissent entre la barbe en éventail et les cheveux drus et rebelles. Mais il n'y a pas que cette imagerie populaire. C'est à Henri IV qu'on doit la fin de 35 ans de guerres civiles, la tolérance religieuse, le retour à l'ordre et à la prospérité dans le royaume.

Rome, une ville éternelle, une société ingénieuse formée d'ethnies disparates sous la protection des dieux. Une petite bourgade aménagée sur une colline entourée de marécages qui en un millénaire a bâti un Empire de 5 millions de kilomètres carrés d'espace, sillonné de 90 000 kilomètres de routes. Rome, c'est la guerre incessante, mais aussi la joie et l'art de vivre hérités de la civilisation étrusque ; la littérature et la poésie inspirées de la culture grecque.
