The peace in England is fragile. With Æthelflæd, King Alfred's daughter, now ruling Mercia and her and vassal and lover Uhtred guarding its northern border, the realm seems secure. But then a mighty force of allied Irish and Northmen advances. Their leader is the equally terrible and fearless Ragnall Iverson. Ragnall's brother, however, is Uhtred's son-in-law, and so the warrior comes into personal conflict. Which weighs more heavily: the loyalty of a liegeman or that to his own family?

How Europe went into the First World War. Based on the novel by Christopher Clark.
For a long time, it was considered a foregone conclusion that the German Empire bore the main responsibility for the outbreak of the First World War due to its dreams of great power. In his groundbreaking new work, the renowned historian and bestselling author Christopher Clark (Prussia) comes to a different conclusion. Clark meticulously describes the interests and motivations of the most important political players in the European metropolises and paints a picture of a complex world in which mutual mistrust, misjudgements, arrogance, expansionist plans and nationalist aspirations led to a situation in which one spark was enough to trigger the war, the devastating consequences of which hardly anyone was able to foresee. It is already clear that "The Sleepwalkers" will be one of the most important new publications to mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.

Unabridged reading, read by Frank Arnold.

The year is 1916, in the middle of the First World War. The young English archaeologist and officer Thomas E. Lawrence (1888-1935) travels on a secret mission from Cairo to the Arabian Peninsula. His mission: to find out whether the Prince of Mecca is ready to revolt against the Ottoman rulers. Lawrence has no idea that this journey will change his life forever. He quickly succumbs to the magic of the endless desert and its mysterious inhabitants, the Bedouins. At the side of Emir Faisal, he leads the tribes of Arabia into battle against the Turkish army all the way to the gates of Damascus. T. E. Lawrence becomes the famous "Lawrence of Arabia" - a living legend. But the Western powers had long since divided up the conquered territory among themselves in a secret conference; there would be no Arab state. Did Lawrence know about these agreements? Did he betray his friends by concealing the bitter truth from them? Who was the man behind the myth? Syrian-born archaeologist and long-time museum director Prof. Dr. Mamoun Fansa provides insights into the work of this polarising man from an Arab perspective and tells about the organisation of the Bedouin people.
