Summary
Since her first appearance on screen in Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews has played a series of memorable roles that have endeared her to generations. But she has never told the story of her life before fame. Until now. In Home: A Memoir of My Early Years, Julie takes her listeners on a warm, moving, and often humorous journey from a difficult upbringing in war-torn Britain to the brink of international stardom in America. Her memoir begins in 1935, when Julie was born to an aspiring vaudevillian mother and a teacher father, and takes listeners to 1962, when Walt Disney himself saw her on Broadway and cast her as the world's most famous nanny. Along the way, she weathered the London Blitz of World War II; her parents' painful divorce; her mother's turbulent second marriage to Canadian tenor Ted Andrews; and a childhood spent on radio, in music halls, and giving concert performances all over England. Julie's professional career began at the age of 12, and in 1948 she became the youngest solo performer ever to participate in a Royal Command Performance before the queen. When only 18, she left home for the United States to make her Broadway debut in The Boy Friend, and thus began her meteoric rise to stardom. Home is filled with numerous anecdotes, including stories of performing in My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison on Broadway and in the West End, and in Camelot with Richard Burton on Broadway; her first marriage to famed set and costume designer Tony Walton, culminating with the birth of their daughter, Emma; and the call from Hollywood and what lay beyond. Julie Andrews' career has flourished over seven decades, and her influence spans generations. Today, she lives with her husband of 38 years, the acclaimed writer/director Blake Edwards; they have five children and seven grandchildren.

The Storm of Steel
Summary
Ernst Jünger (1895-1998) was a decorated German soldier and author who became famous for his World War I memoir Storm of Steel, published in 1920, shortly after the end of the war. Based on the journal entries he wrote during his time in the trenches, the book describes World War I through the eyes of an ordinary soldier. The book begins with Jünger’s initial deployment in 1915 and ends with him being severely wounded in 1918. He writes about the raiding parties, defending the trenches against British incursions, and simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart. Storm of Steel was a worldwide best seller.

In Stahlgewittern
Summary
Ernst Jüngers Erlebnisse vom Januar 1915 bis zum August 1918 an der Westfront spiegeln sich in seinem Werk "In Stahlgewittern" wider: vom Grabenkrieg in der Champagne und der Schlacht bei Cambrai bis hin zu den Stoßtruppunternehmen in Flandern und zuletzt der Verleihung des Ordens Pour le mérite nach seiner Verwundung. In der Lesung von Tom Schilling ist Jüngers Meisterwerk nun erstmals als Hörbuch erhältlich. Selten wurde das Grauen des Krieges so schonungslos beschrieben, noch nie wurde es so eindringlich gelesen. Im Anschluss ist Ernst Jünger selbst in einer Dankesrede zum Goethepreis zu hören.
