From the preface written by Edith Wharton: Then I fell upon Futility. Some one said: “It's another new novel about Russia” –and every one of my eager feelers curled up in a tight knot of refusal. But . . . I read on, amused, moved, absorbed, till the tale and the journey ended together. This, it seems to me, is the most striking quality of Mr. Gerhardi's book: that he has (even in this, his first venture) enough of the true novelist's “objectivity” to focus the two so utterly alien races to whom he belongs almost equally, by birth and bringing-up – the English and the Russian – ...

Warum feiert die Kunstwelt so oft das männliche Genie und übersieht die Frauen, die unseren Blick auf Schmerz, Identität und weibliche Erfahrung verändert haben?

Bert Alexander Petzold rückt in diesem Hörbuch nicht das romantisierte Leiden in den Mittelpunkt, sondern Kahlos künstlerische Innovation.

Wer Vincent van Gogh nur als tragischen Mythos kennt, hat bisher vor allem den Rahmen gesehen. Dieses Hörbuch führt mitten hinein in Van Goghs Kunst und zeigt, warum ein niederländischer Maler mit radikaler Farbigkeit, vibrierender Linie und kompromissloser Intensität den Postimpressionismus prägte – und der modernen Malerei entscheidende Impulse gab. Bert Alexander Petzold erzählt faktenreich, klar und verständlich.

In the beginning, there were no vampires. There were only gods who answered blood with power. Forged through ritual and sacrifice, twin immortals were created to end a war. One would seek balance. The other would claim dominion. Together, they reshaped the night —and doomed the world that summoned them. Ixlan turned away from the hunger, choosing restraint over conquest. Ixquic embraced it, building empires of blood and spawn that spread like rot across centuries. Their conflict did not end. It evolved.

The Ascendent Academy has fallen, but Nathan's journey is just beginning. He has a mission—to journey across Davrar to find Sarya Pamaris, a friendly Questor who can begin to answer his questions. Hopefully she will reveal to him the secrets of the Endings, and how to stop them. On the way, Nathan and his friends must contend with the remnants of Giantsrest, the catspaws of Questors and above all the terrifying dangers of Davrar itself. They have risen to the level of the elites, and that means those threats have noticed them. Because on Davrar, Nathan is sure of one thing.

With an army marching on the liberated city of Halsmet, Nathan and his allies are prepared to fight to the death.

But one wrong move would spell failure and place Gemore in the crosshairs.
