Key word: "Greco-Roman". Rome actually domineered Greece.

Women in the World of the Earliest Christians: Illuminating Ancient Ways of Life by Lynn Cohick, 2009Lynn Cohick provides an accurate and fulsome picture of the earliest Christian women by examining a wide variety of first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman documents that illuminate their lives. She organizes the book around three major spheres of life: family, religious community, and society in general.

Cohick shows that although women during this period were active at all levels within their religious communities, their influence was not always identified by leadership titles nor did their gender always determine their level of participation. The book corrects our understanding of early Christian women by offering an authentic and descriptive historical picture of their lives. Includes black-and-white illustrations from the ancient world.

Cormac McCarthy - Kein Land für alte Männer

No Country for Old Man

Hörbuch, gelesen von Christian Brückner

Eigentlich mag ich keine Romane, wo einer nach dem anderen abgeschlachtet wird, außer bei historischen Romanen, da läßt sich das ja nicht vermeiden, wenn AutorIn sich an die Fakten hält.
Bei Kein Land für alte Männer war ich dann anfangs auch versucht abzuschalten, aber es gibt nun mal Kein Leben ohne Blutvergießen und es hat mich dermaßen beeindruckt, daß ich später auch Die Straße gehört habe.

Schriftsteller Cormac McCarthy tot: Kein Leben ohne Blutvergießen

Cormac McCarthy war der Autor so gewaltsamer wie längst klassischer Romane wie „Die Straße“ und „No Country for Old Men“. Jetzt ist er gestorben.

Fastbook: Listen to audiobooks faster. This is a Python program that lets you speed up the "silent" parts of audiobooks, thus shortening audiobooks. You can also speed up the spoken part, but you don't have to. Play the example clips at the bottom where he has the original sound file and the same sound file with the "silent" parts sped up 5x. It shortens the clip from 5:35 to 3:40.

To use it you'll need to convert your audiobooks to wav files (the program can read and write only wav files so you'll need another tool to convert in and out of your favorite audiobook format. In addition to Python you'll also have to install a big list of dependencies.
