Alice & Gerald
Summary
True-crime master Ron Franscell tells the grisly story of Alice and Gerald Uden, a loving couple who murdered at least four people and lived happily ever after - while cops tried for decades to piece together a petrifying tale of murder and secrets.
In 1974, Alice, a desperate young mother in a gritty Wyoming boomtown, kills her husband and dumps his body where it will never be found, then slips away and starts a new life. But when her new man's ex-wife and two kids start demanding more of him, Alice delivers an ultimatum: fix the problem or lose her forever. With Alice's help, Gerald fixes the problem in an extraordinarily ghastly way...and they live happily ever after...that is, until 2013, almost 40 years later, when somebody finds a dead man's skeleton in a place where Alice thought he'd never be found.
This pause-resister by best-selling true-crime author Ron Franscell revisits a shocking cold case that was finally solved just when the murderers thought they'd never be caught.

The Metamorphoses
Summary
An undeniable masterpiece of Western Civilization, The Metamorphoses is a continuous narrative that covers all the Olympian legends, seamlessly moving from one story to another in a splendid panorama of savage beauty, charm, and wit. It marked the first attempt to link all of the Homeric and pre-Homeric myths into a single work and to carry the entire chronology into the Roman pantheon. All of the gods and heroes familiar to us are represented. Such familiar legends as Hercules, Perseus and Medusa, Daedelus and Icarus, Diana and Actaeon, and many others, are breathtakingly recreated. Ovid was probably the most popular of all the Roman poets during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and his verse was the inspiration for countless artistic and literary masterpieces of the time. Shakespeare, Bernini, and Rubens were only a few of those who mined his work to extraordinary effect. Ovid has left mankind a magnificent achievement, and his sparkling poetry is a tour de force of Homeric and Roman myth. As Ovid himself wrote: "As long as Rome is the eternal city, these lines shall echo from the lips of men."

Metamorphoses
Summary
Ovid's sensuous and witty poem brings together a dazzling array of mythological tales, ingeniously linked by the idea of transformation, often as a result of love or lust, in which men and women find themselves magically changed into new and sometimes extraordinary beings. Beginning with the creation of the world and ending with the deification of Augustus, Ovid interweaves many of the best known myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome, including Daedalus and Icarus, Pyramus and Thisbe, Pygmalion, Perseus and Andromeda, and the fall of Troy. Mortals become gods, animals turn to stone, and humans change into flowers, trees, or stars. First published in A.D. 8, Ovid's Metamorphoses remains one of the most accessible and inspirational introductions to Greek mythology. Translated by Frank Justus Miller.

This extraordinary collection of some 250 Greek and Roman myths and folk tales has always been a popular favorite, and has decisively shaped western art and literature from the moment it was completed in A.D. 8.

Erudite but light-hearted, dramatic yet playful, the Metamorphoses has influenced writers and artists throughout the centuries from Shakespeare and Titian to Picasso and Ted Hughes.

Metamorphosen
Summary
Die "Metamorphosen" - Verwandlungsgeschichten - des Publius Ovidius Naso gehören zum Grundbestand abendländischer Kultur. Ursprünglich in lateinischen Hexametern verfasst, wurden sie von Michael von Albrecht in deutsche Prosa übertragen. Welches seine Gründe dafür sind und welche Schwierigkeiten er dabei zu überwinden hatte, ist dem Nachwort der Reclam-Ausgabe zu entnehmen, die diesem Hörbuch zugrunde liegt. Antike Literatur war zum lauten Lesen, zum Vorlesen bestimmt; da ist heutzutage der Gedanke an ein Hörbuch naheliegend. Als ein solches werden Ovids "Metamorphosen" hiermit erstmals ungekürzt vorgelegt.

Summary

Daphne and Apollo
Summary
Ovid’s telling of the story of Apollo wooing Daphne is highly original, as he felt free to elaborate as needed. The ways in which Ovid accentuates the transformation of Daphne with elements of foreboding throughout the narrative are innovative. Balancing a lighthearted approach, like the interaction of Cupid and Apollo, with profound psychological insight, Ovid tells a thrilling tale of male and female and of divinity and humanity.
