Antiques & Collectibles Audiobooks | Non-Fiction

The bookshop is, and will always be, the soul of the trade. What happens there does not happen elsewhere. The multifariousness of human nature is more on show there than anywhere else, and I think it's because of books, what they are, what they release in ourselves, and what they become when we make them magnets to our desires. A memoir of a life in the antiquarian book trade, A Factotum in the Book Trade is a journey between the shelves-and then behind the counter, into the overstuffed basement, and up the spine-stacked attic stairs of your favorite neighborhood bookshop. From his childhood in rural Ontario, where at the village jumble sale he bought poetry volumes for their pebbled-leather covers alone, to his all-but-accidental entrance into the trade in London and the career it turned into, poet and travel writer Marius Kociejowski recounts his life among the buyers, sellers, customers, and literary nobility-the characters, fictional and not-who populate these places we all love. Cataloging their passions and pleasures, oddities and obsessions, A Factotum in the Book Trade is a journey through their lives, and a story of the serendipities and collisions of fate, the mundane happenings and indelible encounters, the friendships, feuds, losses, and elations that characterize the business of books-and, inevitably, make up an unforgettable life.

On Browsing

A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.

[Spanish] - EL COFRE ENCANTADO: Cuentos y fábulas

Hace algunos siglos vivía en babilonia un sabio rico de quien se decía tenía un cofre encantado, en el cual, según, guardaba celosamente un gran secreto. El secreto enseñaba como ser un gran triunfador. Este sabio se consideraba ser el hombre más feliz sobre la tierra. Algunos Reyes se acercaban a él para ofrecerle poder y riquezas y lo hacían con el fin de que se confiase y así poder robarle el cofre encantado, sin embargo todo era en vano. Pasaron los años y el sabio seguía prosperando día con día, año tras año, hasta que un día un humilde campesino tocó a su puerta y éste pidió: —Señor veo que tienes grandes riquezas y felicidad, ¿me puedes enseñar como conseguirlas? —¿Así que quieres aprender cómo hacerlo? —preguntó el sabio con curiosidad. Continua...

[German] - Drei Romane: Rache, Wahn, Liebe

Die 'Drei Romane' von Pola Polanski stellen jeweils künstlerisch begabte Frauen in den Mittelpunkt, die ihre Kreativität als Schriftstellerinnen und Malerinnen – oft um die passenden Worte, Farben oder künstlerischen Mittel ringend - ausdrücken. Ihnen ist ihre seelische Fragilität gemein, sie haben Phasen psychischer Erkrankung und Therapien durchlebt, müssen teils Medikamente nehmen, um ihre Stimmungsschwankungen auszugleichen. Dennoch wehrt Mia in 'Das Wolfsbaby' sich gegen den Stempel einer Diagnose. Das Auf und Ab ihres Seelenlebens versteht sie als wesentlichen Teil ihres Selbst und auch als Quelle ihrer Inspiration. Während Toni in 'Mein Alter Ego' und Angelika in 'Die schwarzen Engel' Fehlgeburten und eine Abtreibung verarbeiten müssen, woran ihre Beziehungen zu einem Mann scheiterten, gebiert Mia in 'Das Wolfsbaby' ein Kind mit dem Werwolf- Syndrom, was ihren Partner in den Alkoholismus treibt und ihre Liebe auf eine Zerreißprobe stellt. Annika begegnet auf einer Nil-Kreuzfahrt ihrem Alter Ego Toni, die sich auf einem Feldzug der Rache befindet, und fühlt sich genauso von ihr angezogen und umgekehrt wie Angelika in 'Die schwarzen Engel' von Simone, bei der sie als Untermieterin einzieht, bevor sie in einen Wahn stürzt. Diese Ambivalenz in der gefühlsmäßigen und sexuellen Orientierung zwischen einem weiblichen und einem männlichen Pol gilt für beide Frauen-Paare. Alle drei Romane sind durchzogen von intensiven plastischen Träumen, Mia besucht in ihren geistigen Visionen außerdem einen fantastischen Planeten. Reisetagebücher in 'Mein Alter Ego' und 'Das Wolfsbaby', die in die Kultur des Alten Ägypten und die griechische Mythologie führen, Musik und Literatur, auf die Bezug genommen wird, verdichten die unverschnörkelt formulierten Texte mit den knappen Dialogen zu einem vielfältigen Ganzen.

[Basque] - Amez

Amez dihardute, nondik edo handik, liburu hau osatzen duten hogeita bat narrazioek. Amei buruz, alegia. Baina baita ama izateko edo ez izateko asmo eta pultsioez. Edo ama izateko edo ez izateko modu askotarikoez, kontraesankorrez. Eta ama izateak edo ez izateak berekin dakarrenaz, edo berekin daramanaz, kasu batean zein bestean akaso betiko… Horietaz guztietaz dihardute Goiatz Labandibarren narrazio indartsuok. Eta baita ere, jakina, amaren estatusa ematen duten seme-alabez, eta haiekiko harreman eta kontraesanez. Emakumeen bizimodua (ez emakumearena, ez inolako arketipoarena) dute ardatz nagusi kontakizunok, eta ama izatea edo ez izatea gune-guneko bizikizun bihurtzen den une horri begiratzen diote bereziki. Askotarikoak dira, era berean, erregistroak. Ironiatsu doaz ale batzuk, kronika kutsukoak dira beste zenbait, ez dira bakanak gogoetan edota emakume zein garai zehatzen historian murgiltzen direnak… Guztiek dute, baina, literatur asmo bat eta bera: pertsonaien kontzientzian arakatzea, eta irakurlea eramatea haien ekintza eta jokabideen arrazoibideetan barrena, jakin-minaren eskutik. Eta helburua lortzen dute, zinez.
