Story
Paul Robeson’s bass-baritone voice captivated audiences, especially when singing the spirituals he had heard at church and folk songs he had gathered from many countries. But Robeson was more than an interpreter of song. He was passionate about the injustices found in the United States and throughout the world and refused to keep quiet. As a stage and film actor, he fought against stereotypical roles and racism. Labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War, Robeson was stripped of his U.S. passport and found himself unable to earn a living. But Robeson never gave up or gave in.

Story
Bei einem Tropengewitter stürzt ein peruanisches Flugzeug über dem Dschungel aus 3000 Metern Höhe ab. Nur die siebzehnjährige Juliane überlebt. Mit ein paar Schrammen, ohne Brille, mit nur einer Sandale und einem Tütchen Fruchtbonbons schlägt sie sich durch den Urwald. Fast elf Tage ist sie unterwegs, bis sie auf Einheimische trifft... Das Mädchen, das vom Himmel fiel; der Segler, der ein dramatisches Schiffsunglück überlebte; die Frau, die im eisigen Wasser unter einer Eisschicht eingeschlossen war und die doch vier Stunden später von Rettungssanitätern wiederbelebt werden konnte.

Story
As Seen by Me is a collection of thoughts and feelings from a high school teen. Captured and written in forms of poetry and several essays, the short listening time is made up by the wonderful contents. Rarely do we capture such thoughts and feelings, but this book does just that. This book is a great insight to how a 15-year-old feels and thinks of society.

Story
Socrates: A Life Worth Living traces the life and ideas of one of Western civilization’s founding philosophers, whose influence is still felt more than two thousand years later. Socrates is famous for how he died, executed by the Athenian government for corrupting the youth of Athens, but his most important contribution was to challenge the people around him to test their ideas and beliefs in conversation with each other, in the belief that in this way we could become a society that knows the difference between truth and falsehood, and find what makes a life worthwhile.

Story
Charlotte Salomon was a German-Jewish artist born in Berlin. She is remembered for her autobiographical series of paintings, Life? or Theater?, which consists of 769 individual works painted between 1940 and 1942 while she was in hiding from the Nazis in the south of France, and which has been called a painted parallel to Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl and an early graphic novel. In 1943, she entrusted her collection of paintings to a friend.

In his award-winning memoir Free Lunch, Rex Ogle’s abuela features as a source of love and support. In this companion-in-verse, Rex captures and celebrates the powerful presence a woman he could always count on—to give him warm hugs and ear kisses, to teach him precious words in Spanish, to bring him to the library where he could take out as many books as he wanted, and to offer safety when darkness closed in.

Story
In giorno di agosto del 2005 un tir si ferma in un autogrill vicino a Bressanone. Da sotto sbuca un ragazzino. È tramortito, sporco. Si era legato di nascosto all’asse delle ruote posteriori prima che il tir si imbarcasse su una nave in partenza dalla Grecia. Poi Venezia, l’autostrada, quattro ore in¬finite. Molti altri erano morti così. Quel ragazzino si chiama Alidad Shiri e ha solo quattordici anni. È arrivato dall’Afghanistan, dove i genitori, una sorella e la nonna erano stati uccisi. Si era rifugiato in Pakistan con il fratello, l’altra sorella e gli zii.

Story
Our schools do not teach enough about lessons in life. Many young people do not sit together with family for dinner or have a parent or other adult who makes the time to discuss the experiences of the day. Most television shows and movies are not helpful. Since young people talk and text together, they are apt to believe some completely misguided ideas. Dropping in on the Waves of Life provides a 3D experience in which you live life through a surfer’s own eyes.

Story
¿Alguna vez has escuchado cómo resuena en tu cabeza la palabra «cáncer»? El cáncer tiene algo curioso y es que todos pensamos que es de los demás. Hasta que te llega a ti, y entonces resuena demasiado fuerte, como un pitido lejano pero incesante, de esos que, una vez empiezan, ya no puedes dejar de oír. Esa fue un poco la sensación que tuvo Elena, una chica joven, vital y con una actitud siempre positiva cuando le diagnosticaron cáncer. Pero ella, lejos de venirse abajo, decidió que la vida está para vivirla y empezó a combatir su enfermedad con uñas y dientes para ganar la batalla.
