Se de médico e louco todo mundo tem um pouco, de psicanalista e palhaço todo mundo tem um pedaço. Christian Dunker e Cláudio Thebas abordam neste audiolivro, com bom humor e profundidade, um tema comum para ambos os ofícios: como escutar os outros? Como escutar a si mesmo? E como a escuta pode transformar pessoas?

Neste livro, o psicanalista Christian Dunker trata a Depressão como uma entidade em si, sujeita a documentos e arquivos que comprovam sua existência, que testemunham seus feitos e que elaboram suas razões de ser, e mostra que a Depressão é um nome demasiado pequeno para tantas formas e cores que ela reúne, e que, ao mesmo tempo, não andam juntas.

Few winter stories are more affecting than Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl. Written in 1848, and strictly speaking a New Year's Eve story, it showed so clearly then, as it does now, that the Christmas holidays do not represent fireside, food, and presents for all. This story never fails to move, yet it somehow avoids serious sentimentality.

Finde dich in Alltagsgeschichten wieder – mal witzig, mal nachdenklich – über zu volle Köpfe, spontane Planänderungen und den kleinen Mut, einfach mal nichts zu müssen. Für alle, die zwischen To-do-Listen und Alltagstrubel kurz durchatmen wollen. Und merken: Ich bin okay. Genau so, wie ich bin. Für alle, die zwischen E-Mails und leeren Milchkartons vergessen haben, dass das Leben auch leicht sein darf. Ehrlich, warm, verständnisvoll – und manchmal herrlich ironisch.

In The Bottle Neck, Hans Christian Andersen tells a quietly extraordinary story through the long life of a simple object—a glass bottle that passes from celebration to ruin, from usefulness to neglect, and back again.

Years before he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis published another fantastical fiction series: the Ransom Trilogy. Yet these three novels – Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength – have never enjoyed the same widespread popularity as Narnia or any of Lewis’s apologetical works, whether in mainstream culture or among Christians.

In The Bell-Deep, Hans Christian Andersen weaves a haunting meditation on memory, sound, and the unseen histories that linger beneath the surface of the world. Long ago, a great church bell broke free from its tower and vanished into the deepest part of the river. There it remains—speaking still—its voice carried through water, air, and time.
