Librivox: Legends of the Jews, Volume 2, The by Ginzberg, LouisJoin Now to Follow
Rabbi Louis Ginzberg was one of the outstanding Talmudists of the twentieth century. He was born on November 28, 1873, in Kovno, Lithuania; he died on November 11, 1953, in New York City. Ginzberg taught at the Jewish Theological seminary from 1903 to 1953. For 50 years, he trained two generations of Conservative Rabbis. The Legends of the Jews is an epic 7-volume compilation of traditional Jewish stories loosely related to the Bible. Over the millenia, these stories, which expand on the Bible, flesh out the lives of biblical figures. In the process, they help bring to life the Bible's valuable lessons. The Legends of the Jews has been called a monumental work of scholarship. It is studied by serious students of both Judaism and Christianity. And yet the stories continue to be accessible and understood by all. They were designed to impart lessons of the Torah, and any child or adult will find much to enjoy about this work.

Librivox: Nussknacker und Mausekoenig by Hoffmann, E.T.A.Join Now to Follow
Ein weihnachtliches Märchen. Marie Stahlbaum bekommt zu Weihnachten einen Nussknacker geschenkt, den sie gleich sehr lieb gewinnt. Noch in der Christnacht wird sie Zeuge, wie Leben in den Nussknacker und die anderen Spielzeuge kommt. Sie beobachtet eine Schlacht zwischen der Spielzeugarmee unter dem Kommando von Nussknacker und den feindlichen Mäusen, angeführt vom siebenköpfigen Mausekönig. Als sich das Schlachtenglück den Mäusen zuneigt, wirft sie ihren Pantoffel und rettet damit die Spielzeugarmee. Wie es zur Feindschaft zwischen dem Nussknacker und dem Mausekönig kam, erzählt Pate Droßelmeier im Märchen von der harten Nuss. Frau Mauserinks, Königin im Reich Mausolien und Mutter des siebenköpfigen Mausekönigs, fraß einmal einem König den Speck weg. Zur Strafe wurden sie und ihre Sippe verfolgt und aus dem Schloss vertreiben. Aus Rache verwandelte sie die schöne Prinzessin Pirlipat in eine hässliche Missgestalt. Nur dem Neffen des Hofmechanikus Droßelmeier konnte es gelingen, die Prinzessin wieder zurückzuverwandeln. Dabei tötete er jedoch aus Versehen die Frau Mauserinks und wurde von ihr in einen hässlichen Nussknacker verwandelt. Die undankbare Prinzessin Pirlipat liess ihn wegen seiner Hässlichkeit aus dem Schloss werfen. Marie ist überzeugt, dass ihr Nussknacker niemand anderes ist als der verzauberte Neffe ihres Paten Droßelmeier. Sie ist fest entschlossen, ihm gegen den Mausekönig beizustehen. (Summary by Hokuspokus)
