Title: Say Hello to My Little Friend Author: Jennine Capó Crucet Narrator: Krizia Bajos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 42 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Finalist for the Kirkus Prize Scarface meets Moby Dick in Say Hello to My Little Friend—“a masterclass in pace and precision…brilliant” (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, National Book Award Finalist of Chain Gang All Stars) about a young man’s attempt to capitalize on his mother’s murky legacy—a story steeped in Miami’s marvelous and sinister magic. Failed Pitbull impersonator Ismael Reyes—you can call him Izzy—might not be the Scarface type, but why should that keep him from trying? Growing up in Miami has shaped him into someone who dreams of being the King of the 305, with the money, power, and respect he assumes comes with it. After finding himself at the mercy of a cease-and-desist letter from Pitbull’s legal team and living in his aunt’s garage, Izzy embarks on an absurd quest to turn himself into a modern-day Tony Montana. When Izzy’s efforts lead him to the tank that houses Lolita, a captive orca at the Miami Seaquarium, she proves just how powerful she and the water surrounding her really are—permeating everything from Miami’s sinking streets to Izzy’s memories to the very heart of the novel itself. What begins as Izzy’s story turns into a super-saturated fever dream as sprawling and surreal as the Magic City, one as sharp as an iguana’s claws, and as menacing as a killer whale’s teeth. As the truth surrounding Izzy’s boyhood escape from Cuba surfaces, the novel reckons with the forces of nature, with the limits and absence of love, and with the dangers of pursuing a tragic inheritance. “Blistering, hilarious, [and] tragic” (The Miami Herald), Say Hello to My Little Friend is Jennine Capó Crucet’s most daring, heartbreaking, and fearless book yet.

Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there’s only a name: Jake. But as Jake and Daphne’s story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper’s prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn’t, information that—if he found out—would break his heart. “Daphne’s sometimes heart-wrenching, often heartwarming search for meaningful relationships, both romantic and platonic, is sure to inspire” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) new and longtime fans of Rebecca Serle.

Sang Duri is the eldest member and “visual” of a Korean boy band at the apex of global superstardom. But when his latest solo single accidentally leads to controversy, he’s abruptly canceled. To spare the band from fallout with obsessive fans and overbearing management, Duri disappears from the public eye by hiding out in the McMansion of a Chinese American woman he meets in a Los Angeles H-Mart. But his rescuer is both unhappily married and a psychologist with a savior complex, a combination that makes their potential union seductive and incredibly problematic. Meanwhile, in Seoul, the band’s music producer, Pinocchio, remembers his first brainchild: a girl group that tragically disbanded under mysterious circumstances. The past and the present combine to ignite a spiral of violent interactions that might change the fates of both the band members and the music industry. In its “gripping exploration of the complexities that accompany fame” (Booklist), The Band considers the many ways in which love and celebrity can devolve into something far more sinister.

Title: Clear: A Novel Author: Carys Davies Narrator: Russ Bain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 7 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “Tender, riveting, and inventive is Clear, the newest offering and masterpiece from the brilliant Carys Davies. It will take your breath away…What a thrill.” —Sarah Jessica Parker A New York Times Book Review Top 10 Historical Fiction Book of 2024 A Vogue, The Washington Post, NPR, Kirkus Reviews, The Guardian, and The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Best Book of the Year Winner of the 2024 Bookmark Festival Book of Year Shortlisted for the 2024 Books Are My Bag Award, the Historical Writers’ Association Gold Crown Award, and the Saltire Society Literary Award Longlisted for Blackwell’s Book of the Year A “daring and necessary…sophisticated and playful” (The New York Times) novel from an award-winning writer, Clear is the story of a minister dispatched to a remote island to “clear” its last remaining inhabitant—an unforgettable tale of resilience, change, and hope. John, an impoverished Scottish minister, has accepted a job evicting the lone remaining occupant of an island north of Scotland—Ivar, who has been living alone for decades, with only the animals and the sea for company. Though his wife, Mary, has serious misgivings about the errand, he decides to go anyway, setting in motion a chain of events that neither he nor Mary could have predicted. Shortly after John reaches the island, he falls down a cliff and is found, unconscious and badly injured, by Ivar who takes him home and tends to his wounds. “Clear chronicles the surprising bond that develops between these two men…pack[ing] a great deal of power into a compact tale” (The Wall Street Journal) about connection, home, and hope—in which John begins to learn Ivar’s language, and Ivar sees himself reflected through the eyes of another person for the first time in decades. Unfolding during the final stages of the infamous Scottish Clearances—a period of the 19th century which saw whole communities of the rural poor driven off the land in a relentless program of forced evictions—this singular novel explores what binds us together in the face of insurmountable difference, the way history shapes our deepest convictions, and how the human spirit can endure despite all odds. Moving and unpredictable, “a love letter to the scorching power of language” (The Guardian), Clear is “a jewel of a novel” (The Washington Post)—a profound and unforgettable read.

Title: Bugsy & Other Stories Author: Rafael Frumkin Narrator: Sarah Beth Pfeifer, Jackie Sanders, Lindsey Dorcus, Graham Halstead, Michael Crouch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 12 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the author of Confidence and The Comedown comes a wildly imaginative story collection about queerness, neurodivergence, sexuality, and self-discovery. Frumkin’s latest book is a deliciously entertaining collection of five genre-defying stories that range from downright hilarious to brilliantly unhinged. Taken together, they celebrate a wide variety of human experiences. In the title story, a queer young adult with bipolar disorder drops out of college in a fog of depression, aimlessly drifting between maintaining their job at a fast food restaurant and dodging their mom’s texts. But when they fall in with a group of sex workers starring in BDSM films, they find radical freedom, love, and community. In other stories, we meet a psychiatrist whose meticulously-maintained life is upended by an Alex Trebek-like voice in his head, an e-girl celebrity who is being courted by a delusional fan, a young boy on the spectrum at odds with a neurotypical world determined to “cure” him, and an elderly woman whose consciousness is being transformed by her oncoming death. With incredible insight, compassion, and honesty, Frumkin unravels each story with tantalizing precision. Sexy and raw—and compulsively readable—this collection offers a look at our innermost selves as we all try to make sense of the world and our place in it.

Title: Daybreak: A Novel Author: Matt Gallagher Narrator: James Anderson Foster Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 7 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: In this “vital novel that arrives at a perilous time” (Elliot Ackerman, New York Times bestselling author), a disillusioned American veteran volunteers for the war in Ukraine to reconnect with a woman from his past. Thirty-three-year-old Luke “Pax” Paxton has been out of the military for almost a decade, adrift in an America he no longer understands, haunted by a mistake made in an unforgiving moment of combat. When an old army friend suggests they travel to Ukraine to help fight against the Russian invasion, he agrees, and together they cross an ocean to Lviv, the City of Lions. But Pax isn’t merely going out of the goodness of his heart. He carries with him the address of a former love, a Ukrainian woman named Svitlana whom he had known as a young soldier and has been unable to forget. His feverish journey through Lviv takes him down winding and missile-cratered streets as he forms surprising connections with everyone from humanitarian volunteers to displaced Ukrainians and ordinary citizens trying to survive. And when Pax gets the chance to save someone dear to Svitlana, he just might be able to correct the wrongs that have wracked him with guilt for so many years. Inspired by the author’s time in Ukraine, “Matt Gallagher has written the first great military-inspired novel of this post-Global War on Terror era” (Bill McCloud, author of What Should We Tell Our Children About Vietnam?).

Title: Set for Life Author: Andrew Ewell Narrator: Sean Patrick Hopkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 46 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A “hilarious…hugely entertaining” (Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City) novel that captures the complexities of marriage, art, friendship, and the fictions we create in order to become the people we wish to be. A creative writing professor at a third-tier college in upstate New York is on his way home from a summer fellowship in France, where he’s spent the last three months loafing around Bordeaux, tasting the many varieties of French wine at his disposal, and doing just about anything but actually working on his long overdue novel. A stopover in Brooklyn to see his and his wife’s closest friends—John, a jaded poet-turned-lawyer with a dubious moral compass, and Sophie, a once-promising fiction writer with a complicated past and a mysterious allure—causes further trouble when he and Sophie wind up sleeping together while John is out serenading Brooklyn coeds with poems instead of preparing legal briefs. But instead of succumbing to his failures as a teacher, writer, and husband, an odd freedom begins to bubble up. Could a love affair be the answer he’s been searching for? Could it offer the escape he needs from the department chair, Chet Bland, who’s been breathing down his neck? Relief from the gossip of colleagues and generational tension with students? Respite from embarrassment with his wife, Debra Crawford, and her meteoric rise as a novelist? His escapades might even make the perfect raw material for an absolutely devastating novel, which would earn him tenure, wealth, and celebrity—everything he needs to be set for life. If only he could be the one to write it. A brilliant case of art imitating life, Andrew Ewell’s “sharp, witty” (Richard Russo, author of Straight Man) debut is a poignant tour de force that asks who owns whose story, skewers the fictions created from our lives and others’, and brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “publish or perish.” Andrew Ewell Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693877 thebookvoice.com 6:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693877]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Cahokia Jazz Author: Francis Spufford Narrator: Andy Ingalls Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: * Winner of the Sidewise Award for Alternate History * Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction * Named a Best Book of the Year by the New Yorker, The New York Times, Fresh Air (top 10 pick), NPR, the Los Angeles Times (top 15 pick),The Washington Post, and more! The bestselling and award-winning author of Golden Hill delivers a 'dazzling' (Los Angeles Times), “smoky, brooding noir set in the 1920s” (Slate) that reimagines how American history would be different if, instead of being decimated, indigenous populations had thrived. Like his earlier novel Golden Hill, Francis Spufford’s Cahokia Jazz inhabits a different version of America, now through the lens of a subtly altered 1920s—a fully imagined world filled with fog, cigarette smoke, dubious motives, danger, and dark deeds. In the main character of hard-boiled detective Joe Barrow, we have a hero of truly epic proportions, a troubled soul to fall in love with as you are swept along by a propulsive and brilliantly twisty plot. One snowy night at the end of winter, Barrow and his partner find a body on the roof of a skyscraper. Down below, streetcar bells ring, factory whistles blow, Americans drink in speakeasies and dance to the tempo of modern times. But this is Cahokia, the ancient indigenous city beside the Mississippi living on as a teeming industrial metropolis containing people of every race and creed. Among them, peace holds. Just about. Yet that corpse on the roof will spark a week of drama in which this altered world will spill its secrets and be brought, against a soundtrack of jazz clarinets and wailing streetcars, either to destruction or rebirth. “Atmospheric…many of us will recognize our own held-breath bafflement, caught, as we are, on the darkling plain of our own barely believable times” (The Washington Post).

Title: Here in Avalon Author: Tara Isabella Burton Narrator: Devon Sorvari Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 3 minutes Release date: January 2, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An “enchanting” (Caroline Kepnes, author of You) “fairy-tale-inflected thriller” (The New Yorker) about two sisters who encounter a captivating yet possibly dangerous underworld cult that challenges their perception of reality. A New Yorker Best Book of 2024 Rose has come a long way. Raised—and often neglected—by a wayward mother in New York City’s chaotic bohemia, she has finally built the life she’s always wanted: a good job at a self-help startup, a clean apartment, an engagement to a stable if self-satisfied tech CEO who shares her faith in human potential, hard work, and the sacrifice of childish dreams. Rose’s sister Cecilia, on the other hand, never grew up. Irresponsible and impetuous, prone to jetting off to a European monastery one month and a falcon rescue the next, Cecilia has spent her life in pursuit of fairy-tale narratives of transcendence and true love—grand ideas Rose knows never work out in the real world. When Cecilia declares she’s come home to New York for good, following the ending of a whirlwind marriage, Rose hopes Cecilia might find a way to be ready to face adulthood: compromises and all. But then Cecilia gets involved with the Avalon: a cabaret troupe—one that appears only at night on a boat that travels New York’s waterways—and soon vanishes. The only way Rose can find Cecilia is by tracking down Avalon herself. But as Rose gets closer to solving the mystery of what happened to her sister, the Avalon works its magic on her, too. And the deeper she goes into the Avalon’s underworld, the more she begins to question everything she knows about her own life, and whether she’s willing to leave the real world behind.

Andrea Rodríguez is nine years old when her mother whisks her and her brother, Pablo, away from Woronoco, the tiny Massachusetts factory town that is the only home they’ve known. With no plan and no money, she leaves them with family in the mountainside villages of Puerto Rico and promises to return.

Title: Burma Sahib: A Novel Author: Paul Theroux Narrator: Charlie Anson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 51 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Chosen by John Irving in the New York Times as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century “Paul Theroux has exploited this biographical lacuna with great shrewdness and gusto… his fictional account of Blair’s life there [Burma] is a valid and entirely credible attempt to add flesh to the skeletal facts we have of this time. […]this novel is one of his finest, in a long and redoubtable oeuvre.” —New York Times Book Review From the acclaimed author of The Mosquito Coast and The Bad Angel Brothers comes a riveting new novel exploring one of English literature’s most beloved and controversial figures—George Orwell—and the early years as an officer in colonial Burma that transformed him from Eric Blair, the British Raj policeman, into Orwell the anticolonial writer. At age nineteen, young Eton graduate Eric Blair set sail for India, dreading the assignment ahead. Along with several other young conscripts, he would be trained for three years as a servant of the British Empire, overseeing the local policemen in Burma. Navigating the social, racial, and class politics of his fellow British at the same time as he learned the local languages and struggled to control his men would prove difficult enough. But doing all of this while grappling with his own self-worth, his sense that he was not cut out for this, is soon overwhelming for the young Blair. Eventually, his clashes with his superiors, and the drama that unfolds in this hot, beautiful land, will change him forever.

Their neighbors, families, children—nearly all of them are dead. Their homes, shops, and places of worship are leveled. Their lives will never be the same. Hanna was once a wealthy libertine, a landowner who built a famed citadel devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and excess. But with the loss of his home, wife, and community, he transforms, becoming an ascetic mystic obsessed with death and the meaning of life. In No One Prayed Over Their Graves, we follow Hanna's life before and after the flood, tracing friendships, loves and lusts, family and business, until he is just one thread in the rich tapestry of Aleppo. Khaled Khalifa weaves a sweeping tale of life and death in the hubbub of Aleppine society at the turn of the twentieth century. No One Prayed Over Their Graves is a portrait of a people on the verge of great change—from provincial villages to the burgeoning modernity of the city, where Christians, Muslims, and Jews live and work together, united in their love for Aleppo and their dreams for the future.

Title: [Spanish] - Diario de la guerra del cerdo Author: Adolfo Bioy Casares Narrator: Andrés Neuman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: October 5, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Una de las grandes novelas de Adolfo Bioy Casares, una historia fantástica con estremecedoras resonancias políticas Publicada en 1969, bajo la dictadura de Juan Carlos Onganía, Diario de la guerra del cerdo narra en clave semifantástica un enfrentamiento entre jóvenes y viejos en el barrio porteño de Palermo, suscitado por un inexplicable odio intergeneracional. De la noche a la mañana, unas pandillas de jóvenes violentos empiezan a atacar a ancianos y gente de edad, lo que trastoca la existencia del protagonista. Sus reacciones y la ambientación son realistas, pero el autor examina la cotidianidad a la luz de la fantasía y lo siniestro.

Title: [Portuguese] - Os Porcos No Paraíso Author: Roger Maxson Narrator: Hagar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 21 minutes Release date: June 8, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Porcos no Paraíso é sátira, política, literária, e engraçada. Um exercício de liberdade de expressão, é também uma crítica à religião na política, nomeadamente ao evangelismo americano.Quando Blaise dá à luz a Lizzy, a ”bezerra vermelha” numa quinta israelita, as massas afloram em massa para testemunharem o nascimento milagroso que irá anunciar o fim do mundo e o regresso ou chegada do Messias, dependendo do campo, cristão ou judeu. Quando a promessa do fim chega ao fim, e o bezerro vermelho se torna manchado, não mais digno de sacrifício de sangue, os fiéis de todo o mundo ficam caídos de crista. Por esta altura, dois ministros evangélicos, como representantes de uma mega-igreja na América, já chegaram. Eles fazem um acordo com a moshavnik israelita, e os animais da quinta israelita estão a chegar à América. Entretanto, o Papa Benevolente absolve os judeus, canta karaoke com o Rabino Ratzinger, e Boris, um javali de Berkshire e um Messias animal, é servido como prato principal na última ceia. Para não ser ultrapassado, os ministros protestantes realizam um presépio, e pouco antes dos animais embarcarem a bordo do navio para a América, Mel, a mula, ergue-se e torna-se o Papa Magnífico, resplandecente com cossaco de linho branco, cruz peitoral, e chinelos de couro vermelho papal. Uma vez na América, os animais são transportados a meio caminho para Wichita, Kansas, a tempo do desfile Passion-Play, antes de chegarem ao seu destino final, uma quinta cristã. Sete monitores de televisão, sintonizados com sermões de igreja 24 horas por dia, são justapostos com cenas de um celeiro, um verdadeiro circo. Depois de algum tempo, e já não aguentam mais, eles perseguem Mel do celeiro. E Stanley, Manly Stanley, o garanhão preto belga da lenda (piscar, piscar o olho), expulsa os monitores de TV por um momento de silêncio, dando uma oportunidade à paz, nem que seja por pouco tempo.

Title: [Spanish] - La ciudad Author: Lara Moreno Narrator: Lara Moreno, Elsa Veiga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 38 minutes Release date: June 22, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: La esperada nueva novela de Lara Moreno: un retrato insospechado de Madrid a través de la historia afilada de tres mujeres UNO DE LOS LIBROS DEL AÑO SEGÚN EL CULTURAL «Tres historias de maltrato que disecciona con medidas milimétricas y devastadoras». Manuel Jabois, El País «La escritura de Lara Moreno se interna en los abismos de la realidad. Maneja de manera magistral la inquietud, la desesperación, la extrañeza y el miedo. Una voz bella y poderosa». Rosa Montero En un edificio del barrio de La Latina, en el centro de Madrid, confluyen las vidas de tres mujeres. El pequeño piso interior de la cuarta planta es la casa de Oliva. Está atrapada en una peligrosa relación que ha transformado la pasión del inicio en una jaula. En el tercer piso, luminoso y exterior, pasa Damaris los días cuidando a los hijos de sus patrones. Cada noche regresa a su casa cruzando el río que divide social y económicamente la ciudad. Vino a España buscando un futuro mejor cuando un terremoto en Colombia truncó su vida. El mismo futuro que buscaba Horía, la mujer marroquí que llegó a Huelva para trabajar como temporera en los campos de fresas y ahora vive en la minúscula casa de la portería y limpia, en la sombra, las escaleras y el patio. Esta novela cuenta la vida de las tres mujeres, su pasado y el cerco de su presente. Con una voz hermosa y afilada, solo la prosa de Lara Moreno podía cartografiar así un territorio y a quienes lo habitan, componiendo un retrato invisible, herido y valiente de la ciudad. «La ciudad ratifica con creces el vigoroso talento narrativo de Lara Moreno». Domingo Ródenas de Moya, Babelia «La violencia, las violencias, los abusos, se narran con una precisión pasmosa. [...] Un libro tremendo». Miguel Ángel Hoyos, RNE «Su escritura nos sumerge en la ansiedad y desesperación de aquellas a las que nadie espera». Esther Ferrero,Radio 3 «Estamos ante una novela de personajes, pero Madrid es otro de ellos. Es verdad que todo está pasado por la batidora de la ficción, pero el lector puede palpar la capital en la mirada de esta escritora». Paula Corroto, El Confidencial «Lara Moreno muestra en su último libro una escuadra diferente de Madrid: […] un texto de marcada dureza y hosca sinceridad que habla mucho de la condición humana y sus escorrentías aledañas». Javier Ors, La Razón «Una novela sobre la mirada, sobre lo que dejamos de ver. Sobre los gritos ignorados, la indiferencia y el ensimismamiento. La ciudad, la mejor novela de Moreno hasta ahora, nos habla de la ruptura del pacto social y los lazos comunitarios. De indiferencia, esa silenciosa violencia que permite todas las demás». Anna María Iglesia, La Lectura «Moreno no evita la poesía entre las minas, apura las palabras como si fueran cigarrillos a medio prohibir, en un retrato donde la mujer se mezcla con la ciudad, el castigo con la culpa, ambos invisibles, ambos partes del espejo roto en el que ya no es posible reflejarse». Octavio Gómez, Zona de Obras «A Lara Moreno hay que leerla siempre, pero esta novela es extraordinaria». Aroa Moreno Durán «Una autopsia en caliente -no podría ser de otra forma- a las geografías de la violencia encapsulando el malestar global en una sola escalera». Luis Miguel Barcenilla, El Salto Diario «Una prosa precisa y deliciosa». Chema García Langa, El gallo que no cesa (RTVE) «Una novela que puede presumir de prosa inteligente, y de ser ágil a la vez que no querer ser ligera».

Title: Ordinary Human Failings: A Novel Author: Megan Nolan Narrator: Jessica Regan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: When a 10-year-old child is suspected of a violent crime, her family must face the truth about their past in this haunting, propulsive, psychologically keen story about class, trauma, and family secrets from “huge literary talent” (Karl Ove Knausgaard) and internationally bestselling author Megan Nolan. It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the "peasants" -- ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star seems set to rise when he stumbles across a sensational scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents beloved across the neighborhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and “bad apples”: the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way. Crushed by failure and surrounded by disappointment, there's nowhere for her to go and no chance of escape. Now, with the police closing in on a suspect and the tabloids hunting their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generations.

Title: Maktub: An Inspirational Companion to The Alchemist Author: Paulo Coelho Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 42 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An essential companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist, filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery. From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, “Maktub is not a book of advice—but an exchange of experiences.” Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, “a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.” These wise tales offer the perspective of talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints addressing the mysteries of the universe. Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.

Title: Pelican Girls: A Novel Author: Julia Malye Narrator: Polly Edsell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A sweeping epic in the vein of Philipp Meyer’s The Son and Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko and inspired by a true story, this stunning US literary debut captures the never-before-told journey of the Baleine Brides: a ship full of young women plucked from a Paris asylum and sent to marry settlers in North America's rough Louisiana Territory. Paris, 1720. La Salpêtrière hospital is in crisis: too many occupants, not enough beds. Halfway across the world, France's colony in the wilds of North America has space to spare and needs families to fill it. So the director of the hospital rounds up nearly a hundred female “volunteers” of childbearing age—orphans, prisoners, and mental patients—to be shipped to New Orleans. Among this group are three unlikely friends: a sharp-tongued twelve-year old orphan, a mute ‘madwoman,’ and an accused abortionist. Charlotte, Pétronille, and Geneviève, along with the dozens of other women aboard La Baleine, have no knowledge of what lies ahead and no control over their futures. Strangers brought together by fate, these brave and fierce young women will face extraordinary adversity—pirates, slavedrivers, sickness, war—but also the private trauma of heartbreak and unrequited love, children born and lost, cruelty and unexpected pleasure, and a friendship forged in fire that will sustain through the years. At once a gorgeously written work of startling depth and emotion and a gripping drama marrying high-seas adventure with pioneer grit, Pelican Girls is a powerful, thought-provoking novel about female friendship and desire and the daunting compromises women are forced to make to survive.

Title: Pelican Girls: A Novel Author: Julia Malye Narrator: Polly Edsell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 56 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A sweeping epic in the vein of Philipp Meyer’s The Son and Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko and inspired by a true story, this stunning US literary debut captures the never-before-told journey of the Baleine Brides: a ship full of young women plucked from a Paris asylum and sent to marry settlers in North America's rough Louisiana Territory. Paris, 1720. La Salpêtrière hospital is in crisis: too many occupants, not enough beds. Halfway across the world, France's colony in the wilds of North America has space to spare and needs families to fill it. So the director of the hospital rounds up nearly a hundred female “volunteers” of childbearing age—orphans, prisoners, and mental patients—to be shipped to New Orleans. Among this group are three unlikely friends: a sharp-tongued twelve-year old orphan, a mute ‘madwoman,’ and an accused abortionist. Charlotte, Pétronille, and Geneviève, along with the dozens of other women aboard La Baleine, have no knowledge of what lies ahead and no control over their futures.

Title: The Silver Bone: A Novel Series: #1 of The Kyiv Mysteries Author: Andrey Kurkov Narrator: Josh Bloomberg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2024 ''Very intriguing and atmospheric ... a fascinating read in the light of contemporary events.” –Alexander McCall Smith, Bestselling Author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency ''With its earthy prose and stunning attention to detail, this stands apart.'' –Publishers Weekly (starred review) From Ukraine’s most celebrated novelist, ''a gift for crime fiction fans'' (New York Times Book Review) that introduces rookie detective Samson Kolechko in Kyiv as he tackles his first case, set against real life details of the tumultuous early twentieth century. Kyiv, 1919. World War I has ended in Western Europe, but to the East, six factions continue to vie for control of Ukraine. Amidst the political turmoil, young Samson Kolechko is forced to place his engineering career on hold. But in the city of Kyiv everything remains up for grabs and new opportunity lurks just around the corner . . . When two Red Army soldiers commandeer his home, Samson’s life is completely upended. But as Samson juggles his personal life –including a budding romance with the ingenious Nadezhda, a statistician helping run the city’s census– with the soldiers’ intrusion, he winds up overhearing their secret plans. Deciding to report them, Samson instead finds himself unwittingly recruited as an investigator for the city’s new police force. His first case involves two murders, a long bone made of pure silver, and a suit of decidedly unusual proportions tailored from fine English cloth. The odds stacked against him, Samson turns to Nadezhda, who proves to be more than his match. Inflected with Kurkov’s signature humor and off kilter universe, The Silver Bone takes its inspiration from the archives of Kyiv's secret police, crafting a propulsive narrative bursting to life with rich historical detail.

Title: Mona of the Manor: A Novel Series: #10 of Tales of the City Author: Armistead Maupin Narrator: Mara Wilson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 45 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Narrated by Mara Wilson “Maupin is one of America’s finest storytellers.”—Neil Gaiman  Set in the early 1990s, the long-awaited tenth novel in Armistead Maupin’s beloved and enduring Tales of the City series follows the adventures of Mona Ramsey, now the widowed Lady of a glorious old manor in Britain’s golden Cotswolds, and her fabulous adopted son Wilfred, as they come to the aid of an American visitor with a troubling secret. When Mona Ramsey married Lord Teddy Roughton to secure his visa—allowing him to remain in San Francisco to fulfill his wildest dreams—she never imagined she would, by age 48, be the sole owner of Easley House, Teddy’s grand, romantic country manor in the UK. She also didn't imagine that she’d need to open the manor’s doors to paying guests to afford the electric bill and repair the leaking roof. Yet somehow she and her young friend Wilfred--whom guests assume is serving as Easley’s charming-but-clumsy butler--and the loopy old gardener Mr. Hargis, are making it work. This delicate equilibrium is upended when Americans Rhonda and Ernie Blaylock arrive for a weekend vacation at Easley, and Wilfred stumbles onto their terrible secret. Now, instead of being able to focus on the imminent arrival of her old friend Michael Tolliver and beloved parent Anna Madrigal, Mona will need to focus all of her considerable charm, willpower, and wiles—and the help of Wilfred and Mona’s girlfriend Poppy, the town’s postmistress and local calligraphy whiz—to set things right before the Midsummer ceremony when the whole town will descend on Easley’s historic grounds.

Title: [Spanish] - Te regalo un caballo blanco Author: Amalia De Tena Narrator: Mireia Chambó Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 16 minutes Release date: June 5, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: En la oscura España de principios de los sesenta, la infancia de Ana de Sotomayor, hija de una familia de terratenientes extremeños, transcurre feliz hasta que la ruina de la familia empieza a planear sobre ellos. A las grandes fiestas y largos veraneos les seguirán la nevera vacía, la desaparición de cuadros, los llantos y los silencios. Con su particular manera de interpretar la realidad, Ana intenta comprender lo que sucede en casa y justificar el comportamiento excéntrico que muestra Luis, su padre, desde la trágica muerte de su único hermano José. ¿Qué es lo que le impulsa a tachar los rostros de algunas personas en los álbumes de fotos familiares? ¿Por qué hay un hueco vacío en el armario de las escopetas del despacho? ¿Cuál es el motivo del repentino despido de la niñera a la que Ana adora? ¿Por qué su padre no habla del abuelo Pepe y le prohíbe visitar a su bisabuelo Fanega? A pesar de todo, incluso en los momentos más dramáticos, Ana es capaz de arrancarnos una sonrisa con sus ocurrencias y su lengua afilada. Para Ana y su hermana mayor, María del Mar, comenzará una época llena de cambios y zozobra. Ni los meses que Ana pasa en Plasencia con sus tíos sumida en la añoranza, ni el traslado de toda la familia a Sevilla logran estabilizar la turbulenta vida familiar, una situación que acabará desembocando en una grave crisis. De vuelta en Mérida, Ana intentará huir de todo ello refugiándose en la excéntrica familia de su mejor amiga, Carlota García de Montenegro. Convertida en una adolescente concienciada políticamente, Ana se enamorará de un revolucionario y descubrirá que los secretos familiares enterrados durante años tienen consecuencias mucho más graves de las que ella nunca se hubiera atrevido a imaginar. Retrato agridulce de una infancia en lo más profundo de la España franquista y crónica del desmoronamiento de una familia, Te regalo un caballo blanco constituye ante todo una novela de iniciación tierna y divertida, con una narradora inolvidable. Un luminoso debut que pone voz a la nostalgia de la generación de principios de los 60. Y que habla de nuestra conexión con el mundo rural, de las relaciones de familia, especialmente entre padres e hijas, de salud mental… Una novela tragicómica, llena de escenas y personajes que nos remiten a Almodóvar y Berlanga, con condes venidos a menos, ricos herederos desheredados, abuelos viudos que se casan con mujeres rudas e insensibles para que les cuiden sus hijos y señores de pueblo que tienen a marquesas de Madrid como amantes. «La original perspectiva elegida por Amalia de Tena le da a esta trágica historia familiar una deliciosa ligereza. Ana de Sotomayor y los otros pintorescos personajes que pueblan esta novela te robarán el corazón». Het Parool «Un libro conmovedor (...). Una historia familiar terrible escrita con un gran sentido del humor».

Title: Dream Jungle Author: Jessica Hagedorn Narrator: Julian Remulla, Rona Figueroa, Jessica Hagedorn, Ramón De Ocampo, Edoardo Ballerini, Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 59 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: One of Jessica Hagedorn's most daring novels—“a deft and complex tale of corruption, fealty, and integrity” (The Baltimore Sun) In a Philippines of desperate beauty and rank corruption, two seemingly unrelated events occur: the discovery of an ancient lost tribe living in a remote mountainous area and the arrival of a celebrity-studded, American film crew, there to make an epic Vietnam War movie. But the lost tribe may be a clever hoax and the Hollywood movie seems doomed as the cast and crew continue to self-destruct in a cloud of drugs and ego. As the consequences of these events play out, four unforgettable characters—a wealthy, iconoclastic playboy; a woman ensnared in the sex industry; a Filipino-American writer; and a jaded actor—find themselves drawn irrevocably together in this lavish, sensual portrait of a nation in crisis.

Title: Toxicology: A Novel Author: Jessica Hagedorn Narrator: Rona Figueroa, Jessica Hagedorn, Jesse Vilinsky, Ramón De Ocampo, Carrington Macduffie, Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A bold new novel about the intersection of art, love, fame, and money from the acclaimed author of Dogeaters. Jessica Hagedorn's edgy and entertaining new novel centers on the lives of two women who are neighbors in Manhattan's West Village. Mimi Smith is a filmmaker of low-budget slasher movies in search of new material. Her neighbor Eleanor Delacroix is a legendary writer of erotic fiction, now nearing eighty and addicted to cocaine and gin. Their personal and artistic lives begin to collide in unexpected ways as Eleanor grieves over the recent death of her live-in lover, the renowned painter Yvonne Wilder, and as Mimi deals with the challenges presented by her newly sober brother Carmelo; her drug-dealing boyfriend, who has mysteriously disappeared; and her wayward fourteen-year-old daughter, Violet. Looming over all these characters is the ghost of Agnes-an 'illegal' and cousin of Mimi's who might have been murdered by her New Jersey employers. Toxicology is a dark yet playful exploration of money, desire, mortality, and the connection between creativity and self-destruction.

Title: [Spanish] - Las madres (Spanish Edition) Author: Esmeralda Santiago Narrator: Esmeralda Santiago Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 24 minutes Release date: August 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: De la galardonada autora bestseller de Cuando era puertorriqueña, nos llega una poderosa novela sobre la familia, la raza, la fe, el sexo y el desastre que transita entre Puerto Rico y el Bronx, revelando las vidas y los amores de cinco mujeres, y el secreto que las une. Se hacen llamar “Las Madres”, un grupo muy cercano de mujeres que, junto con sus hijas, han creado una familia basada en la amistad y los lazos de sangre. Su historia comienza en Puerto Rico, en 1975, cuando Luz, de quince años, la niña más alta en su academia de baile y la única negra en un mar de cisnes de piel clara, pequeños y delicados, se lastima de gravedad en un accidente de auto. Trágicamente, sus padres, ambos científicos multilingües brillantes, también mueren en el accidente. Huérfana ahora, Luz sortea las presiones de la adolescencia mientras lidia con las secuelas de una lesión cerebral, cuando dos nuevas amigas entran a su vida, Ada y Shirley. Los días de Luz quedan consumidos por dolores y molestias, y su memoria después del accidente queda por completo en blanco, pero sufre episodios que envían su mente a otros lugares y momentos que no puede compartir con nadie más.   En 2017, en el Bronx, la hija adulta de Luz, Marysol, desearía que su madre la comprendiera mejor. Pero, ¿cómo, si Luz apenas recuerda su propia vida? Para ayudar, la hija de Ada y Shirley, Graciela, sugiere que el grupo entero se vaya de vacaciones a Puerto Rico como una oportunidad para que Luz desentierre recuerdos largo tiempo enterrados y Marysol aprenda más sobre los primeros años de su madre. Pero a pesar de toda su cuidadosa planeación, dos huracanes, uno tras otro, alteran su bienvenida y sacan a la luz un secreto que hace estallar sus vidas. En una voz que canta con calidez, humor, amistad y orgullo, la celebrada autora Esmeralda Santiago desarrolla una historia sobre la sexualidad, la vergüenza, la discapacidad y el amor de las mujeres dentro de una comunidad sacudida por el desastre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the award-winning, best-selling author of When I Was Puerto Rican, a powerful novel of family, race, faith, sex, and disaster that moves between Puerto Rico and the Bronx, revealing the lives and loves of five women and the secret that binds them together. In Puerto Rico in 1975, fifteen-year-old Luz is the tallest in her dance academy and the only Black girl in a sea of petite, light-skinned, delicate swans. Tragically, she is seriously injured in a car accident and her brilliant, multilingual scientist parents are both killed in the crash. Now orphaned, Luz navigates the pressures of adolescence and copes with the aftershock of a brain injury, when two new friends enter her life: Ada and Shirley. Luz’s days are consumed with aches and pains, and her memory of the accident is wiped clean, but she suffers spells that send her mind to times and places she can’t share with others. In 2017, the Bronx, Luz’s adult daughter, Marysol, wishes she better understood her. But how can she, when her mother barely remembers her own life? To help, Ada and Shirley’s daughter, Graciela, suggests a vacation in Puerto Rico for the extended group, as an opportunity for Luz to unearth long-buried memories and for Marysol to learn more about her mother’s early life. But despite all their careful planning, two hurricanes, back-to-back, disrupt their homecoming, and a secret is revealed that blows their lives wide open. In a voice that sings with warmth, humor, friendship, and pride, Esmeralda Santiago unspools a story of women’s sexuality, shame, disability, and love within a community rocked by disaster.

Title: [Spanish] - Historia del cerco de Lisboa Author: José Saramago Narrator: Víctor Velasco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 15, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 2022: AÑO SARAMAGO Una novela deslumbrante sobre el poder de la rebeldía para cambiar la historia «Mientras no alcances la verdad, no podrás corregirla. Pero si no la corriges, no la alcanzarás. Mientras tanto, no te resignes». Libro de los Consejos Raimundo Silva, corrector de pruebas de una editorial, es un personaje anodino que tiene como misión en la vida conservar la integridad de los textos que llegan a sus manos. Un día, revisando un ensayo sobre el cerco de la ciudad de Lisboa, siente el impulso irreprimible de introducir un «No» donde debiera aparecer un «Sí». Esta decisión aparentemente inocua altera, sin duda alguna, la historia escrita, pero también va a ser fundamental en su vida personal. A partir de ese momento, el conservador Raimundo Silva no volverá a ser sujeto paciente de la historia, tanto de la universal como de la personal, porque su acto de rebeldía le hace asumir el protagonismo que, como hombre, y por tanto como ser hegemónico, le corresponde en la vida. Historia del cerco de Lisboa es una novela contemporánea en la que caen varios cercos: el histórico de la ciudad de Lisboa y el que impide al hombre comunicarse con sus semejantes, pero también el de la soledad, definitivamente abatido en el amor realizado. La crítica ha dicho: «Una novela deslumbrante». Publishers Weekly «Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales». Héctor Abad Faciolince «Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene el valor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven». Luis García Montero «Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo, duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia».

Title: [Spanish] - Historia del cerco de Lisboa Author: José Saramago Narrator: Víctor Velasco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 15, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 2022: AÑO SARAMAGO Una novela deslumbrante sobre el poder de la rebeldía para cambiar la historia «Mientras no alcances la verdad, no podrás corregirla. Pero si no la corriges, no la alcanzarás. Mientras tanto, no te resignes». Libro de los Consejos Raimundo Silva, corrector de pruebas de una editorial, es un personaje anodino que tiene como misión en la vida conservar la integridad de los textos que llegan a sus manos. Un día, revisando un ensayo sobre el cerco de la ciudad de Lisboa, siente el impulso irreprimible de introducir un «No» donde debiera aparecer un «Sí». Esta decisión aparentemente inocua altera, sin duda alguna, la historia escrita, pero también va a ser fundamental en su vida personal. A partir de ese momento, el conservador Raimundo Silva no volverá a ser sujeto paciente de la historia, tanto de la universal como de la personal, porque su acto de rebeldía le hace asumir el protagonismo que, como hombre, y por tanto como ser hegemónico, le corresponde en la vida. Historia del cerco de Lisboa es una novela contemporánea en la que caen varios cercos: el histórico de la ciudad de Lisboa y el que impide al hombre comunicarse con sus semejantes, pero también el de la soledad, definitivamente abatido en el amor realizado. La crítica ha dicho: «Una novela deslumbrante». Publishers Weekly «Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales».

In 1935 in a village near George Orwell’s birthplace, Jadu’s mother, while pregnant with him, nearly dies from a cobra bite. When we see Jadu again, he is in college, meeting the Sherpa who first summited Everest and wondering what it means to be modern. As his life skates between the mythical and the mundane, and as changes big and small sweep across India, Jadu finds meaning in the most unexpected places. He befriends poets and politicians. He becomes a historian. And he has a daughter, Jugnu, a television journalist with a career in the United States—whose own story recasts the past in a new light. Piercing, fleet-footed, and undeniably resonant, here is a novel from a singularly gifted writer about how we tell stories and write history, how individuals play a counterpoint to big movements, how no single life is without consequence.

Title: Plastic: A Novel Author: Scott Guild Narrator: Will Damron, Jorjeana Marie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: For fans of Interior Chinatown and American War, a surreal, hilarious, and sneakily profound debut novel that casts our current climate of gun violence and environmental destruction in a surprising new mold. 'A stunningly brilliant novel. One of those books that will follow you around, into your dreams and your daily life. You have never read anything like it.' —Elizabeth McCracken, author of The Hero of This Book Erin is a plastic girl living in a plastic world. Every day she eats a breakfast of boiled chicken, then conveys her articulated body to Tablet Town, where she sells other figurines Smartbodies: wearable tech that allows full, physical immersion in a virtual world, a refuge from real life’s brutal wars, oppressive governmental monitoring, and omnipresent eco-terrorist insurgency. If you cut her, she will not bleed—but she and her fellow figurines can still be cracked or blown apart by gunfire or bombs, or crumble away from nuclear fallout. Erin, who's lost her father, sister, and the love of her life, certainly knows plenty about death.       An attack at her place of work brings Erin another too-intimate experience, but it also brings her Jacob: a blind figurine whom she comforts in the aftermath, and with whom she feels an almost instant connection. For the first time in years, Erin begins to experience hope—hope that until now she's only gleaned from watching her favorite TV show, the surrealist retro sitcom “Nuclear Family.” Exploring the wild wonders of the virtual reality landscape together, it seems that possibly, slowly, Erin and Jacob may have a chance at healing from their trauma. But then secrets from Erin's family's past begin to invade her carefully constructed reality, and cracks in the facade she's constructed around her life threaten to reveal everything vulnerable beneath.      Both a crypto-comedic dystopian fantasy and a deadly serious dissection of our own farcical pre-apocalypse, Scott Guild’s debut novel is an achingly beautiful, disarmingly welcoming, and fabulously inventive look at the hollow core of modern American society—and a guide to how we might reanimate all its broken plastic pieces.

Title: Acts of Forgiveness: A Novel Author: Maura Cheeks Narrator: Jade Wheeler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 20 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “A vibrant and moving debut that takes to heart our deferred dreams and the value of remaining hopeful.”—Diane Marie Brown, author of Black Candle Women How much of their lineage is one family willing to unearth in order to participate in the nation’s first federal reparations program? Every American waits with bated breath to see whether or not the country’s first female president will pass the Forgiveness Act. The bill would allow Black families to claim up to $175,000 if they can prove they are the descendants of slaves, and for ambitious single mother Willie Revel the bill could be a long-awaited form of redemption. A decade ago, Willie gave up her burgeoning journalism career to help run her father’s struggling construction company in Philadelphia and she has reluctantly put family first, without being able to forget who she might have become. Now she’s back living with her parents and her young daughter while trying to keep her family from going into bankruptcy. Could the Forgiveness Act uncover her forgotten roots while also helping save their beloved home and her father’s life’s work? In order to qualify, she must first prove that the Revels are descended from slaves, but the rest of the family isn’t as eager to dig up the past. Her mother is adopted, her father doesn’t trust the government and believes working with a morally corrupt employer is the better way to save their business, and her daughter is just trying to make it through the fifth grade at her elite private school without attracting unwanted attention. It’s up to Willie to verify their ancestry and save her family—but as she delves into their history, Willie begins to learn just how complicated family and forgiveness can be. With powerful insight and moving prose, Acts of Forgiveness asks how history shapes who we become and considers the weight of success when it is achieved despite incredible odds—and ultimately what leaving behind a legacy truly means.

Her mother is adopted, her father doesn’t trust the government and believes working with a morally corrupt employer is the better way to save their business, and her daughter is just trying to make it through the fifth grade at her elite private school without attracting unwanted attention. It’s up to Willie to verify their ancestry and save her family—but as she delves into their history, Willie begins to learn just how complicated family and forgiveness can be. With powerful insight and moving prose, Acts of Forgiveness asks how history shapes who we become and considers the weight of success when it is achieved despite incredible odds—and ultimately what leaving behind a legacy truly means. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Road from Belhaven: A novel Author: Margot Livesey Narrator: Ell Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 14 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times best-selling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy, a novel about a young woman whose gift of second sight complicates her coming of age in late-nineteenth-century Scotland “Bewitching and seductive.” —Rebecca Makkai, author of I Have Some Questions for You • “A treasure: a writer who understands the magic and mysteries of the human soul.' —Chris Bohjalian, author of Hour of the Witch • “This book is a cold, clear, perfect lake.' —Lauren Groff, author of The Vaster Wilds Growing up in the care of her grandparents on Belhaven Farm, Lizzie Craig discovers as a small child that she can see into the future. But her gift is selective—she doesn’t, for instance, see that she has an older sister who will come to join the family. As her “pictures” foretell various incidents and accidents, she begins to realize a painful truth: she may glimpse the future, but she can seldom change it. Nor can Lizzie change the feelings that come when a young man named Louis, visiting Belhaven for the harvest, begins to court her. Why have the adults around her not revealed that the touch of a hand can change everything? After following Louis to Glasgow, though, she learns the limits of his devotion. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, she makes a terrible mistake. But her second sight may allow her a second chance. Luminous and transporting, The Road from Belhaven once again displays “the marvelous control of a writer who conjures equally well the tangible, sensory world . . . and the mysteries, stranger and wilder, that flicker at the border of that world.” —The Boston Globe Margot Livesey Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301 thebookvoice.com 8:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692301]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Adversary: A Novel Author: Michael Crummey Narrator: Mary Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 3 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An enthralling novel about the corruption of power and the power of corruption from the award-winning, bestselling author of The Innocents 'POTENT...A VIBRANT HISTORICAL NARRATIVE'—The New Yorker 'A FLAWLESSLY CRAFTED NARRATIVE' —Wall Street Journal 'MASTERPIECE' —Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review) 'CEASELESSLY ENTERTAINING' —Kirkus (Starred Review) 'ONE OF OUR BEST WRITERS' —Booklist (Starred Review) In an isolated outport on Newfoundland's northern coastline, Abe Strapp is about to marry the daughter of a rival merchant to cement his hold on the shore when the Widow Caines arrives to throw the wedding and Abe's plans into chaos. That ruthless act of sabotage is the opening salvo in a battle between the man and woman who own Mockbeggar's largest mercantile firms, each fighting for the scarce resources of the north Atlantic fishery, each seeking a measure of revenge on the person they despise most in the world. As their unshakeable animosity spirals further each year into vendettas and violence, the community is increasingly divided and even the innocents in Mockbeggar find themselves forced to take sides, with devastating consequences.  Through merciless seasons of uncertainty and want, through predatory storms and pandemics and marauding privateers, it is the human heart that reveals itself to be the most formidable and unpredictable adversary for each person drawn, inevitably and helplessly, into that endless feud.  Compulsively readable and uncompromising, The Adversary is a masterful evocation of a lost time, and a shadowed mirror to our modern politics of grievance and retribution.

[written in] lush, ornamental prose.” —The New Yorker “Fans of The Underground Railroad, The Water Dancer, and Let Us Descend will devour this lyrical and surreal saga.” —Oprah Daily From a writer of singular voice and vision, a mesmerizing epic that reimagines the past to explore the true nature of freedom In this ingenious, sweeping novel, Phillip B. Williams introduces us to an enigmatic woman named Saint, a fearsome conjurer who, in the 1830s, annihilates plantations all over Arkansas to rescue the people enslaved there. She brings those she has freed to a haven of her own creation: a town just north of St. Louis, magically concealed from outsiders, named Ours. It is in this miraculous place that Saint’s grand experiment—a truly secluded community where her people may flourish—takes root. But although Saint does her best to protect the inhabitants of Ours, over time, her conjuring and memories begin to betray her, leaving the town vulnerable to intrusions by newcomers with powers of their own. As the cracks in Saint’s creation are exposed, some begin to wonder whether the community’s safety might be yet another form of bondage. Set over the course of four decades and steeped in a rich tradition of American literature informed by Black surrealism, mythology, and spirituality, Ours is a stunning exploration of the possibilities and limitations of love and freedom by a writer of capacious vision and talent.

Title: Day One: A Novel Author: Abigail Dean Narrator: Emma Atkins, Sarah Durham, Nigel Pilkington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “A gripping examination of a community devastated by a school shooting and the ‘truthers’ who deny it ever happened. Within that story is a girl who’s hiding what she knows about what happened that day. A chilling, thought-provoking read. Brilliant.” —Shari Lapena, New York Times–bestselling author of Everyone Here Is Lying and The Couple Next Door A village hall, a primary-school play, a beautiful Lake District town in England. Into this idyllic scene steps a lone gunman whose actions set off a chain of events that will have devastating consequences for the close-knit community of Stonesmere. In the weeks following the cataclysm, conspiracy theorists start questioning what happened. Two young people find themselves at the epicenter of the uproar: Marty, the town’s golden girl and daughter of a teacher killed that day, and Trent, whose memories of his brief time trying to fit into Stonesmere fuel his attachment to the conspiracies. But what really happened at the Day One assembly? What secrets is Marty keeping and what blind spots does Trent miss? In this world where news travels fast and videos and gossip travel faster, how does a community move forward together? Opening with a gripping moment of terror and then jumping forward in time to show how secrets, trauma, miscommunications, and unrequited feelings reverberate over a lifetime, Abigail Dean once again delivers “a riveting page-turner, full of hope in the face of despair” (Sophie Hannah, The Guardian).

Chocolate teacakes remind her of a furtive errand involving a wedding ring; sugared doughnuts call up a stranger’s kind act; a simple cottage loaf brings back the moment her life changed forever. With her baking star rising, Jenny struggles to keep a lid on that first secret—a long-concealed deceit that threatens to shatter the very foundations of her marriage. It’s the only time in six decades that she’s kept something from Bernard. By putting herself in the limelight, has Jenny created a recipe for disaster? * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains recipes from the book.

Title: Dixon, Descending: A Novel Author: Karen Outen Narrator: Jd Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 41 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “Compelling.”—The Boston Globe “Poignant…heartbreaking.”—The Christian Science Monitor “This one hits hard.”—Publishers Weekly When Nate suggests that they attempt to be the first Black American men to summit Mount Everest, his younger brother Dixon can’t refuse. The two are determined to prove something—to themselves and to each other.   Dixon interrupts his orderly life as a school psychologist, leaving behind disapproving friends, family, and one particularly fragile student. Once on the mountain, Nate and Dixon are met with extreme weather conditions, oxygen deprivation, and precarious terrain. But as much as they’ve prepared for this, Mt. Everest is always fickle. And in one devastating moment, Dixon’s world is upended.  Dixon returns home and attempts to resume his job, but things have shifted: for him and for the students he left behind. Ultimately, Dixon must confront the truth of what happened on the mountain and come to terms with who can and cannot be saved. Dixon, Descending offers us a captivating, shattering portrait of the ways we’re reshaped by our decisions—and what it takes to angle ourselves, once again, toward hope.   “Outen understands first-class human drama.” —Gabriel Bump, author of The New Naturals “The most engulfing, transporting, deeply humane novel I’ve read in ten years.” —Monica Wood, author of How to Read a Book Karen Outen Tue, 06 Feb 2024 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692252 thebookvoice.com 10:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692252]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Las dos amigas (un recitativo) Author: Toni Morrison Narrator: Susie Caraballo, Jane Santos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 8, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: TONI MORRISON INÉDITA El único y deslumbrante relato de la ganadora del Premio Nobel de Literatura, «un gigante de su época y de la nuestra» (Margaret Atwood), con un epílogo de Zadie Smith. «Ella lideraba y nosotros la seguíamos: nos enseñó la belleza del lenguaje y el poder que se desata cuando se unen un gran corazón y una mente feroz». Salman Rushdie Dos niñas son obligadas a compartir habitación en un centro de acogida. Una blanca y otra negra. Ambas se rechazan de inmediato, pero poco a poco se dan cuenta de que tienen en común más de lo que esperaban. «La sal y la pimienta», como las empiezan a llamar los demás, se vuelven inseparables, y con el paso del tiempo se van encontrando en distintos lugares: un restaurante, un supermercado, una manifestación, siempre en lados opuestos de los conflictos sociales. En el único relato que escribió, la gran Morrison imagina el mapa de las identidades raciales de forma alternativa y sitúa al lector en el centro de uno de sus experimentos literarios más complejos. Esta edición incluye, además, un epílogo en el que Zadie Smith ahonda en la maestría de este sofisticado artefacto literario. La crítica ha dicho: «Una auténtica pieza de orfebrería. Un juego literario, un experimento con el lector, uno de esos textos que demuestran por qué la norteamericana se llevó el Nobel en 1993 y fue una de las mejores escritoras del siglo XX. Este pequeño cuento se lee en un viaje de metro o autobús al trabajo y es una verdadera maravilla». Paula Corroto, El Confidencial «La historia es un rompecabezas, pues; un juego. Aunque, claro, Toni Morrison no juega. Cuando afirmaba que Las dos amigas era un experimento, lo decía en serio. Y el objeto de ese experimento es el lector». Zadie Smith «Una sencilla obra maestra». El Diario Montañés «Toni Morrison enfrenta a quien está leyendo a sus propios prejuicios raciales con una maestría digna de aplauso. [...] Cualquier persona en cualquier parte del mundo debería leer a Morrison». Carmen López, elDiario «Un texto que, en su aparente sencillez, adquiere mayor complejidad de la que pudiera inicialmente imaginarse». Pablo-Ignacio de Dalmases, CatalunyaPress «Morrison fue pionera en realizar una descripción de la cultura negra que también considerara la política, la historia de Estados Unidos, la supremacía blanca, las diferencias de clase, el género y el trauma intergeneracional. Toni Morrison hizo todo eso». Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, The New York Times Book Review «Pese a que Las dos amigas fue escrito hace bastantes años, los temas que desarrolla y plantea tienen más relevancia que nunca». CNN «Esta historia es una profunda e innovadora contradicción». Booklist «El experimento de Morrison se ejecuta de manera brillante, lo que fuerza al lector a reconsiderar los estereotipos raciales al tiempo que ofrece una historia inolvidable. El talento sin igual de Morrison se muestra aquí en todo su esplendor». Publishers Weekly «Un experimento conceptual. [...] Página a página, Morrison juega con el lector [...], nos hace pensar que podríamos resolver el enigma sobre quién es negra y quién es blanca, pero siempre manteniendo la solución al misterio un paso más allá de nuestro alcance. Aunque [...] esta solución no es lo más importante. Una experiencia de lectura única e iluminadora». Kirkus Reviews «Toni Morrison fue un gigante de su época y de la nuestra».

Title: The History of Mr. Polly Author: H.G. Wells Narrator: Susan Iannucci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Based on H. G. Wells’s own life experience in the drapery trade, this comic novel presents our anti-hero, Alfred Polly, miserable, timid, and without direction, but with a gift for creating incomprehensible conversational “epithets” to express himself. No one quite understands what he has just said to them … Was it a compliment? An insult? Was it profound or absurd? The novel opens by telling us, “He hated Foxbourne, he hated Foxbourne High Street, he hated his shop and his wife and his neighbours—every blessed neighbour—and with indescribable bitterness he hated himself.” The story unfolds from Mr. Polly’s early education, his courtship and marriage, to his eventual discovery of purpose in life.

Wells Narrator: Susan Iannucci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Based on H. G. Wells’s own life experience in the drapery trade, this comic novel presents our anti-hero, Alfred Polly, miserable, timid, and without direction, but with a gift for creating incomprehensible conversational “epithets” to express himself. No one quite understands what he has just said to them … Was it a compliment? An insult? Was it profound or absurd?

Title: [Russian] - Код 612. Кто убил Маленького принца? Author: мишель бюсси Narrator: кирилл радциг Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 31 minutes Release date: May 23, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Прошло 80 лет с момента издания великой сказки «Маленький принц», а смерть ее автора, Антуана де Сент-Экзюпери, по-прежнему так же загадочна, как и само произведение. В новом романе «Код 612. Кто убил Маленького принца?» мэтр французского детектива Мишель Бюсси проводит собственное расследование гибели великого французского писателя. В книге за дело берутся летчик Неван без единого полета за плечами и сыщица-стажерка Анди. Охота за правдой отправляет героев на поиски секретного «Клуба 612», объединяющего шестерых страстных поклонников «Маленького принца». Героям предстоит разгадать код, скрытый в сказке, и разобраться в связи между гибелью Экзюпери и Маленького принца. Вместо шести астероидов Неван и Анди побывают на шести островах и выслушают шесть разных версий каждого члена клуба: все гипотезы по-своему убедительны, но истина — шокирующая и непредсказуемая — лишь одна. мишель бюсси Tue, 23 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/691828 thebookvoice.com 5:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/691828]]> to listen full audiobooks.

'A work of near heroic vitality and cunning' Sunday Telegraph At sixty-four Mickey Sabbath is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous; sex is an obsession and a principle, an instrument of perpetual misrule in his daily existence.

Title: [Spanish] - Una bendición Author: Toni Morrison Narrator: Jane Santos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 35 minutes Release date: June 8, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Una vez más, la gran Toni Morrison aborda con maestría las paradojas y horrores de la esclavitud americana. UNO DE LOS MEJORES 100 LIBROS DEL SIGLO XXI SEGÚN THE NEW YORK TIMES El miedo y la pasión son sentimientos que nos hacen caminar al límite de nuestras fuerzas y nos empujan hacia delante, recorriendo caminos arriesgados. Florens, una joven de dieciséis años con manos de esclava y pies de princesa, recorre un largo trecho para buscar al hombre libre que llegó un día a la granja donde ella trabaja y fue capaz de curar la enfermedad del Dolor, una esclava, pero que al irse se llevó el amor de Florens. Corren los últimos años del siglo XVII, la espesura de los bosques que pueblan América aún gobierna el espíritu de los hombres y todo, o casi, puede comprarse y venderse; el mundo entero parece a punto de ser inventado por la mano del colono blanco, que se mueve entre los prejuicios y el afán de conseguir bienes materiales, pero ahora en la granja solo han quedado mujeres, y Rebekka, la dueña del lugar, está enferma. Florens camina, corre en busca del hombre libre para devolverlo a la granja, para que sus manos curen los males del ama y acaricien otra vez su cuerpo de mujer joven que despierta a la vida. Así, ese viaje se convierte en un canto de amor, de rabia y de nostalgia, donde la llaga de la esclavitud se mezcla con el deseo de posesión y toma matices insólitos, extrañamente actuales. La opinión de editor: Toni Morrison vuelve al tiempo lejano y al espacio salvaje que ya había explorado en Beloved, pero su historia es de todos y es de hoy porque nos habla de esos lazos que unen a amo y esclavo más allá del tiempo, del espacio y de la sensatez que nos gobierna.

Clean begins with an inescapable fact: a girl has died. Told by Estela, a maid to a wealthy, middle class family who speaks to us from a locked room, we hear of her plight and the circumstances that led to this moment. As we enter into her account of her daily existence, we see how her apparently simple life begins to sour, but would that drive her to the unthinkable?

Her life is so full, so why is she hungry? For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts, planning a covetable wedding ... But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is. Thirteen days before they are due to be married, Kit reveals an awful truth, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built, so smugly shared. To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing? As the hours count down to their wedding, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe, follow the rules. Surely, with her husband, she could be herself again. Wouldn’t it be a waste for everything to curdle now? ‘A high-wire exploration of control, pleasure and desire’ Chloë Ashby ‘A book that tears at the surface of things to reveal the vast, messy truth of a body with a beating heart’ Catherine Newman ‘It takes audacity, all kinds of courage to produce a novel as ferocious as Piglet.

Title: [Spanish] - Nosotros dos en la tormenta Author: Eduardo Sacheri Narrator: Eduardo Sacheri Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 14 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Durante el dramático año 1975, dos jóvenes amigos se involucran en actividades revolucionarias poniendo su vida en peligro. -Ese es tu problema. No se puede dudar en el medio de una guerra popular, Cabezón. -A vencer o morir, como dicen ustedes. -¡Más bien que a vencer o morir! -¿Y no pensaste qué pasa si no vencemos? ¿Estás seguro de que preferís morir? -¡No, porque vamos a vencer! -¿Y si no? -¡Si no, nada, porque vamos a vencer, te digo! Corre 1975 y dos jóvenes integrantes de distintas organizaciones armadas mantienen su amistad de toda la vida reuniéndose como pueden, en los intersticios que les permiten sus actividades revolucionarias. Nosotros dos en la tormenta cuenta el día a día de dos militantes, de dos células, de sus acciones violentas y de aquellos que se ven afectados por estas: las víctimas y sus familias, pero también los seres queridos de los propios guerrilleros. Es la historia del entusiasmo y las dudas, del arrojo y la rivalidad, del encandilamiento que provoca fijar la vista sin descanso en un sol brillante e imperioso, de la dinámica enloquecida de una época turbulenta, donde el tiempo jugará en contra de todos y le abrirá camino al poder de la muerte. Inquietante, conmovedora y cercana, esta novela nos retrotrae a la década del setenta de un modo nuevo: sin esquivar las paradojas y descubriendo a los seres humanos cobijados bajo las banderas de los apasionamientos políticos más extremos. La crítica ha dicho: «Contundente. [...] Sacheri bucea en lo más profundo de la condición humana. […] Tan luminoso como demoledor». Jaime Cedillo, El Cultural «Sacheri pone la barra muy alta y hay que decir que el resultado es destacable.» Rodrigo Blanco Calderón, ABC Cultural «Un emotivo canto a la hermandad». Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Cultural «El argentino Eduardo Sacheri hace de las historias cotidianas lecturas conmovedoras, de los lugares comunes situaciones universales». Rocío Huerta, El País «Sacheri toca una fibra sensible del imaginario colectivo argentino: los movimientos revolucionarios de izquierdas. [...] Maestría narrativa y talento. [...] Entrañable». Ángel Peña, The Objective «A través de un ritmo digno de la novela negra, Sacheri construye un relato universal». Pilar Martín, EFE Sobre El funcionamiento general del mundo: «Sacheri consigue que sus palabras sean disparadores de la memoria de los otros». Andrés Klipphan, Infobae «Un viaje en el espacio y en el tiempo le permite al escritor narrar una historia en la que se trenzan la épica y la derrota del juego. Crecer es más saber perder que ganar, parece insinuar esta novela». Silvina Friera, Página 12 Sobre Lo mucho que te amé: «Una novela impecable e intimista sobre historias familiares ocultas y amores ilícitos, cuya grandeza reside en elevar a pura poesía la rutina cotidiana». Asunta López, Todo Literatura Sobre La noche de la Usina: «Sacheri maneja con extraordinario pulso, y con felices destellos expresivos, la preparación y consecución del robo, perpetrado por gente trabajadora y tenaz que convierte su torpeza en una épica del ingenio de los pobres».

Title: [Spanish] - Nosotros dos en la tormenta Author: Eduardo Sacheri Narrator: Eduardo Sacheri Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 14 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Durante el dramático año 1975, dos jóvenes amigos se involucran en actividades revolucionarias poniendo su vida en peligro. -Ese es tu problema. No se puede dudar en el medio de una guerra popular, Cabezón. -A vencer o morir, como dicen ustedes. -¡Más bien que a vencer o morir! -¿Y no pensaste qué pasa si no vencemos? ¿Estás seguro de que preferís morir? -¡No, porque vamos a vencer! -¿Y si no? -¡Si no, nada, porque vamos a vencer, te digo! Corre 1975 y dos jóvenes integrantes de distintas organizaciones armadas mantienen su amistad de toda la vida reuniéndose como pueden, en los intersticios que les permiten sus actividades revolucionarias. Nosotros dos en la tormenta cuenta el día a día de dos militantes, de dos células, de sus acciones violentas y de aquellos que se ven afectados por estas: las víctimas y sus familias, pero también los seres queridos de los propios guerrilleros. Es la historia del entusiasmo y las dudas, del arrojo y la rivalidad, del encandilamiento que provoca fijar la vista sin descanso en un sol brillante e imperioso, de la dinámica enloquecida de una época turbulenta, donde el tiempo jugará en contra de todos y le abrirá camino al poder de la muerte. Inquietante, conmovedora y cercana, esta novela nos retrotrae a la década del setenta de un modo nuevo: sin esquivar las paradojas y descubriendo a los seres humanos cobijados bajo las banderas de los apasionamientos políticos más extremos. La crítica ha dicho: «Contundente. [...] Sacheri bucea en lo más profundo de la condición humana. […] Tan luminoso como demoledor». Jaime Cedillo, El Cultural «Sacheri pone la barra muy alta y hay que decir que el resultado es destacable.» Rodrigo Blanco Calderón, ABC Cultural «Un emotivo canto a la hermandad». Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Cultural «El argentino Eduardo Sacheri hace de las historias cotidianas lecturas conmovedoras, de los lugares comunes situaciones universales». Rocío Huerta, El País «Sacheri toca una fibra sensible del imaginario colectivo argentino: los movimientos revolucionarios de izquierdas. [...] Maestría narrativa y talento. [...] Entrañable». Ángel Peña, The Objective «A través de un ritmo digno de la novela negra, Sacheri construye un relato universal». Pilar Martín, EFE Sobre El funcionamiento general del mundo: «Sacheri consigue que sus palabras sean disparadores de la memoria de los otros». Andrés Klipphan, Infobae «Un viaje en el espacio y en el tiempo le permite al escritor narrar una historia en la que se trenzan la épica y la derrota del juego. Crecer es más saber perder que ganar, parece insinuar esta novela».

Title: [Russian] - Блистательные годы Author: арчибальд кронин Narrator: валерий толков Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 16 minutes Release date: May 29, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Арчибальд Джозеф Кронин (1896–1981) родился в Шотландии, окончил Университет Глазго, работал врачом в Южном Уэльсе и Лондоне. Но его истинным призванием стала литература, которой он посвятил себя после оглушительного успеха своего первого романа «Замок Броуди». Из других книг А. Кронина наиболее известны «Звезды смотрят вниз», «Цитадель», «Юные годы», «Путь Шеннона», «Ключи Царства», «Памятник крестоносцу», «Три любви». Самые яркие романы принадлежат к числу бестселлеров, разошедшихся огромными тиражами по всему миру; по мотивам произведений Кронина создано более 30 экранизаций. Но нельзя сказать, что, оставив врачебную практику, Арчибальд Кронин навсегда распрощался с медициной. Эта профессия, связанные с ней проблемы и вызовы времени всегда будили творческое воображение писателя, поэтому главным героем его книг часто становился талантливый и целеустремленный врач — тот, кому автор мог передать свои идеи, взгляды, искания. Одержим любимой работой Дункан Стирлинг, герой повести «Блистательные годы». Несмотря на искалеченную руку, он полон решимости добиться мировой славы на медицинском поприще. арчибальд кронин Mon, 29 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/691611 thebookvoice.com 5:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/691611]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Emergency: Stories Author: Kathleen Alcott Narrator: Carolyn Jania Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: From an 'exquisite' (The New Yorker) writer, a searing volume of prizewinning stories starring women facing points of no return. A professor finds a photograph of her deceased mother in a compromising position on the wall of a museum. A twenty-something's lucrative remote work sparks paranoia and bigotry. A transplant to a new city must make a choice about who she trusts when her partner reveals a violent history. The summer after her divorce from an older man, an exiled painter's former friends grapple with rumors that she attempted to pass as a teenager. In this long-awaited debut collection, Kathleen Alcott turns her skills as a stylist on the unfreedoms of American life—as well as the guilt that stalks those who survive them. Emergency roams from European cities to scorched California towns, drug-smeared motel rooms to polished dinner parties, taking taut, surprising portraits of addiction, love, misogyny, and sexual power. Confronting the hidden perils of class ascension, the women in these stories try to pay down the psychic debts of their old lives as they search for a new happiness they can afford.

Title: The Day Tripper Author: James Goodhand Narrator: James Meunier Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 14 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: "I loved it!”—Shelby Van Pelt, New York Times bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures  “An essential, profound read.” —The Washington Post The right guy, the right place, the wrong time. It’s 1995, and Alex Dean has it all: a spot at Cambridge University next year, the love of an amazing woman named Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost from his past sees him beaten, battered and almost drowning in the Thames. He wakes the next day to find he’s in a messy, derelict room he’s never seen before, in grimy clothes he doesn’t recognize, with no idea of how he got there. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he’s older—much older—and has been living a hard life, his features ravaged by time and poor decisions. He snatches a newspaper and finds it’s 2010—fifteen years since the fight. After finally drifting off to sleep, Alex wakes the following morning to find it’s now 2019, another nine years later. But the next day, it’s 1999. Never knowing which day is coming, he begins to piece together what happens in his life after that fateful night by the river. But what exactly is going on? Why does his life look nothing like he thought it would? What about Cambridge, and Holly? In this page-turning adventure, Alex must navigate his way through the years to learn that small actions have untold impact. And that might be all he needs to save the people he loves and, equally importantly, himself.

It’s 1995, and Alex Dean has it all: a spot at Cambridge University next year, the love of an amazing woman named Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost from his past sees him beaten, battered and almost drowning in the Thames. He wakes the next day to find he’s in a messy, derelict room he’s never seen before, in grimy clothes he doesn’t recognize, with no idea of how he got there. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he’s older—much older—and has been living a hard life, his features ravaged by time and poor decisions. He snatches a newspaper and finds it’s 2010—fifteen years since the fight. After finally drifting off to sleep, Alex wakes the following morning to find it’s now 2019, another nine years later. But the next day, it’s 1999. Never knowing which day is coming, he begins to piece together what happens in his life after that fateful night by the river. But what exactly is going on? Why does his life look nothing like he thought it would? What about Cambridge, and Holly? In this page-turning adventure, Alex must navigate his way through the years to learn that small actions have untold impact. And that might be all he needs to save the people he loves and, equally importantly, himself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/690921 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/690921]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Galaxy Game: A Novel Author: Karen Lord Narrator: Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • A gripping science fiction saga about three students from a school for those with extraordinary powers, from the award-winning author of The Best of All Possible Worlds “A smart science fictional fable as inventive and involving as it is finally vital.”—Tordotcom On the verge of adulthood, Rafi attends the Lyceum, a school for the psionically gifted. Rafi possesses mental abilities that might benefit people . . . or control them. Some wish to help Rafi wield his powers responsibly; others see him as a threat to be contained. Rafi’s only freedom at the Lyceum is Wallrunning: a game of speed and agility played on vast vertical surfaces riddled with variable gravity fields. Serendipity and Ntenman are also students at the Lyceum, but unlike Rafi, they come from communities where such abilities are valued. Serendipity finds the Lyceum as much a prison as a school, and she yearns for a meaningful life beyond its gates. Ntenman, with his quick tongue, quicker mind, and a willingness to bend if not break the rules, has no problem fitting in. But he too has his reasons for wanting to escape. Now the three friends are about to experience a moment of violent change as seething tensions between rival star-faring civilizations come to a head. For Serendipity, this change will challenge her ideas of community and self. For Ntenman, it will open new opportunities and new dangers. And for Rafi, given a chance to train with some of the best Wallrunners in the galaxy, it will lead to the discovery that there is more to Wallrunning than he ever suspected . . . and more to himself than he ever dreamed.

Title: [Spanish] - El jinete insomne Author: Manuel Scorza Narrator: Gustavo Dardés Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: June 30, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: 'En el comienzo de toda memoria existía el viejo partiendo o llegando con su queja. ¿Podía concebirse el mundo sin su reclamo infatigable?' En el universo literario de Manuel Scorza las luchas por la reivindicación campesina no cesan. Esta vez el protagonista es Raymundo Herrera, el jinete insomne, arrojado personaje que cabalga infatigable durante siglos para salvaguardar el título que reconoce la ancestral posesión de las tierras de Yanacocha. Sin embargo, su acción es infecunda sin un plano catastral que lo corrobore. Así, un innombrado ingeniero acepta trazar los límites y con ello acompañar el reclamo de los dirigentes de la comunidad. Pero en la sierra central el tiempo ha enfermado, las nubes y los ríos detienen su curso para hacer queja de la parsimonia del resto de pobladores. Como un personaje pleno de conocimiento y voluntad, la naturaleza presagia. El jinete insomne, tercera balada del ciclo de 'La guerra silenciosa', es una novela valerosa y deslumbrante. Un alegato lírico contra el pasado impúdico de los poderosos y una alerta de cambio para las generaciones presentes. Su estilo único y trascendental reafirmó a su autor como uno de los creadores más profundos y telúricos de la narrativa latinoamericana post-boom y su lectura, hoy -cuando las inequidades sociales se robustecen?, es urgente.

Title: Immaculate Author: Anna Mcgahan Narrator: Anna Mcgahan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 20 minutes Release date: June 20, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: All Frances wants is a cure for her daughter, but that would take a miracle, and miracles aren't something Frances believes in anymore. Newly divorced from her pastor ex-husband and excommunicated from the church community she once worked within, she wrestles alone with the prognosis of her terminally ill child. Any suggestion of ‘divine intervention' is salt in the wound of her grief. So when Frances is forced to take in a homeless and pregnant teenage girl who claims to have had an immaculate conception, she's deeply challenged. But sixteen-year-old Mary is not who she seems, and soon opens the door to perspectives that profoundly shift Frances's sense of reality, triggering a chain of astonishing events. It seems that where there is the greatest suffering lies an unexpected magic. Frances begins to hold hope for her family's future, but the miracle prayed for is not always the one received. Immaculate is a provocative and tender exploration of loss, identity and healing, and the secret worlds we hide within in order to survive. ‘A gripping and unique story.'

Title: Another Person Author: Kang Hwagil, Clare Richard Narrator: Jimin Suh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 54 minutes Release date: July 6, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Vacuum cleaner bitch. When Jina sees this anonymous comment on a forum it forces her out of her stupor. It is posted on a website dissecting her public allegations of workplace sexual assault, the backlash to which forced her to quit her job. She has spent months glued to her laptop screen, junk-food packaging piling up around her, tracking the hate campaign that's raging against her online. This post stands out from the noise, for it could only have been made by someone who knew her as a student at university. The comment stirs something deeply repressed. So Jina returns to Anjin University, and to the toxic culture that destroyed the lives of many female students including one, Ha Yuri, who died tragically and mysteriously not long before Jina left. Somewhere within Jina's memories is the truth about what happened to Yuri all those years ago. Told in alternative viewpoints, in sharp, intelligent and multi-layered prose, this powerful and necessary novel confronts issues of sexism and abuse on university campuses. “Dark Academia the way I like it: Another Person is one of those novels where you're never sure who you should be rooting for, or if you should be rooting for anyone at all. Smart, and full of suspense, it will keep you guessing until the end.” - Hanna Bervoets, author of We Had to Remove This Post Kang Hwagil, Clare Richard Thu, 06 Jul 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/690564 thebookvoice.com 9:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/690564]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Bursting with love and warmth, The Goodbye Cat exquisitely explores the cycle of life, from birth to death—as each of the seven stories explores how, in different ways, the steadiness and devotion of a well-loved cat never lets us down. A huge bestseller in Japan, this magical book is a joyous celebration of the wondrousness of cats and why we choose to share our lives with them.

Title: [German] - Blutbuch: Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Buchpreis 2022 und dem Schweizer Buchpreis 2022 Author: Kim De L'horizon Narrator: Kim De L'horizon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 29 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Die Erzählfigur in ›Blutbuch‹ identifiziert sich weder als Mann noch als Frau. Aufgewachsen in einem Schweizer Vorort, lebt sie nun in Zürich, ist den engen Strukturen der Herkunft entkommen und fühlt sich im nonbinären Körper und in der eigenen Sexualität wohl. Doch dann erkrankt die Großmutter an Demenz, und das Ich beginnt, sich mit der Vergangenheit auseinanderzusetzen: Warum sind da nur bruchstückhafte Erinnerungen an die eigene Kindheit? Wieso vermag sich die Großmutter kaum von ihrer früh verstorbenen Schwester abzugrenzen? Und was geschah mit der Großtante, die als junge Frau verschwand? Die Erzählfigur stemmt sich gegen die Schweigekultur der Mütter und forscht nach der nicht tradierten weiblichen Blutslinie. Dieser Roman ist ein stilistisch und formal einzigartiger Befreiungsakt von den Dingen, die wir ungefragt weitertragen: Geschlechter, Traumata, Klassenzugehörigkeiten. Kim de l'Horizon macht sich auf die Suche nach anderen Arten von Wissen und Überlieferung, Erzählen und Ichwerdung, unterspült dabei die linearen Formen der Familienerzählung und nähert sich einer flüssigen und strömenden Art des Schreibens, die nicht festlegt, sondern öffnet.

Title: [German] - Mein erstaunlicher Hang zu Fehltritten (ungekürzt) Author: Bernardo Zannoni Narrator: Matthias Matschke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 14 minutes Release date: June 13, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Der Bestseller aus Italien und Gewinner des renommierten 'Premio Campiello'. In einer kühlen Winternacht, inmitten von Bäumen und Hügeln, wird ein Steinmarder zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern geboren. Der Vater kam ums Leben, die Mutter muss die Jungen allein durchbringen. Archy ist schwach, daher wird er von seiner Mutter für eineinhalb Hühner an einen alten Fuchs verkauft. Sein neuer Herr, Fëdor, lebt auf einer Anhöhe und ist voller Geheimnisse. Und er ist im Besitz einer Bibel, die er wie einen Schatz hütet. Die Tiere in diesem Buch können sprechen, sie benutzen Teller zum Essen, sie entzünden Feuer, und doch bleibt ihre Existenz ein harter und schonungsloser Kampf. Verlorene Lieben, die Grausamkeit der Welt, der Anreiz immer neuer Abenteuer bestimmen Archys Leben. Aber die eigentlichen Fragen stellen sich ihm erst, als der alte Fuchs beginnt, ihm von der Macht der Buchstaben zu erzählen, und ihn das Lesen und Schreiben lehrt. Archys Geschichte ist eine Allegorie auf unsere Existenz. Denn im Spiegel des Tieres wird das menschliche Leben manchmal viel anschaulicher. Grandios interpretiert vom vielfach ausgezeichneten Comedian und Schauspieler Matthias Matschke. Eine Koproduktion mit dem Hessischen Rundfunk.

Title: The Great Divide Author: Cristina Henriquez Narrator: Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: ‘A gorgeous, sweeping epic’ ANN NAPOLITANO 'A master of prose'WASHINGTON POST ‘One of my favourite writers' ROXANE GAY ‘Spectacular’ JOANNE SEFTON ‘I didn’t want it to end’ SARA SHERIDAN A breathtaking historical novel following the incredible construction of the Panama Canal and casting light on the unsung people who lived and laboured in its shadow – by acclaimed author Cristina Henríquez. It is said that the Canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. Ada Bunting, a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados, arrives alone in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work in the grand building project of the Canal. Francisco, a local fisherman, resents the foreign nations clamouring for a slice of his country, but nothing is more upsetting for him than his son Omar’s decision to work as a digger. For Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection and independence. Scientist John Oswald has come from further afield. He has journeyed to Panama in pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But everything hangs in the balance as his wife Marian falls ill herself. When John witnesses an act of bravery and compassion from Ada one day, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver for his wife. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice. Breathtaking and impossible to put down, The Great Divide explores the lives of the labourers, fishmongers, journalists, protesters, doctors and soothsayers who lived alongside the construction of the Canal – those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.

In 1760, Guillaume le Gentil, real-life astronomer to King Louis XV, sets out for the oceans of India to document the transit of Venus.

Title: Human Sacrifices Author: María Fernanda Ampuero Narrator: Raquel Beattie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 21 minutes Release date: August 8, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A groundbreaking voice in contemporary Latin American literature, María Fernanda Ampuero's writing is 'raw and savage' as she confronts machismo, inequity, and violence in this acclaimed short story collection (Vistazo). An undocumented woman answers a job posting only to find herself held hostage, a group of outcasts obsess over boys drowned while surfing, and an unhappy couple finds themselves trapped in a terrifying maze. With scalpel-like precision, Ampuero considers the price paid by those on the margins so that the elite might lounge comfortably, considering themselves safe in their homes. Simultaneously terrifying and exquisite, Human Sacrifices is 'tropical gothic' at its finest—decay and oppression underlie our humid and hostile world, where working-class women and children are consistently the weakest links in a capitalist economy. Against this backdrop of corrosion and rot, these twelve stories contemplate the nature of exploitation and abuse, illuminating the realities of those society consumes for its own pitiless ends. Contains mature themes.

Title: A Life in Bloom Author: Anna E. Collins Narrator: Lindsey Dorcus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: High school teacher Kristin Caine has a black belt in settling for less and a dying mother who doesn't mince words when it comes to voicing how disappointed this makes her. But when Kristin's status quo is rocked by an unexpected pregnancy and the consequent breakup with her less-than-enthusiastic boyfriend, things change. Suddenly, agreeing to help her overbearing mother complete a bucket list before the big C wins seems not the worst thing in the world—despite their many differences and Kristin's fear of traveling. But Kristin's sense of self-preservation is strong, and if not for the compassion of Lily Landon, a friendly airport stranger with a tissue to spare, the first leg of the trip might have been over before it even began. Lily is like no one Kristin has ever met—a globe-trotting photographer full of joie de vivre who is on a first-name basis with the flight crew—and in her presence, the impossible suddenly seems . . . possible. As a journey of physical and emotional adventures, belated mother-daughter bonding, and unexpected romantic feelings for Lily ensues, Kristin must challenge preconceived notions of motherhood, love, and what it means to live life fully, one bucket-list checkmark at a time. Only if she succeeds will she be able to create a new future free of self-imposed limits, for herself and her unborn child. Anna E.

Title: The Blueprint: A Novel Author: Rae Giana Rashad Narrator: Joniece Abbott-Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 17 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “The Blueprint is an astounding work, an unflinching portrait of misogyny and racism in a speculative world terrifyingly close to our own. Rae Giana Rashad chronicles the generational ghosts of womanhood, and how we understand ourselves through the stories of those we come from, in a way I’ve never read before. A remarkable new talent, and a timeless literary voice.”—Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push  In the vein of Octavia E. Butler and Margaret Atwood, a harrowing novel set in an alternate United States—a world of injustice and bondage in which a young Black woman becomes the concubine of a powerful white government official and must face the dangerous consequences. Solenne Bonet lives in Texas where choice no longer exists. An algorithm determines a Black woman’s occupation, spouse, and residence. Solenne finds solace in penning the biography of Henriette, an ancestor who’d been an enslaved concubine to a wealthy planter in 1800s Louisiana. But history repeats itself when Solenne, lonely and naïve, finds herself entangled with Bastien Martin, a high-ranking government official. Solenne finds the psychological bond unbearable, so she considers alternatives. With Henriette as her guide, she must decide whether and how to leave behind all she knows.   Inspired by the lives of enslaved concubines to U.S. politicians and planters, The Blueprint unfolds over dual timelines to explore bodily autonomy, hypocrisy, and power imbalances through the lens of the nation’s most unprotected: a Black girl.

Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in the Tokyo Detention House convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, whom she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination, but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew, and Kajii can’t resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a master class in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii, but it seems that Rika might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body. Do she and Kajii have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of a convicted con woman and serial killer—the “Konkatsu Killer”—Asako Yuzuki’s Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

As the summer of 1993 begins, Sam and Swami Brecht roll into town with a twenty-six-foot Winnebago camper van, their three young kids, and the deed to Woodchuck Rafting Company. Sam and Swami met as young, adventurous river guides but, a decade later, find themselves weighed down by money worries and the demands of adulthood. The town of Thunderwater, in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, could be the fresh start their marriage needs. But Woodchuck, once the property of Sam’s eccentric uncle, has seen better days and will need a serious overhaul if it is going to stand a chance at survival. Soon Sam and Swami learn they are not the only ones looking for change and profit on the river. A competing rafting outfit, clashing raft guides, stubborn townsfolk, and an exploratory mining company begin to threaten their tenuous livelihood.

As the summer of 1993 begins, Sam and Swami Brecht roll into town with a twenty-six-foot Winnebago camper van, their three young kids, and the deed to Woodchuck Rafting Company. Sam and Swami met as young, adventurous river guides but, a decade later, find themselves weighed down by money worries and the demands of adulthood. The town of Thunderwater, in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, could be the fresh start their marriage needs. But Woodchuck, once the property of Sam’s eccentric uncle, has seen better days and will need a serious overhaul if it is going to stand a chance at survival. Soon Sam and Swami learn they are not the only ones looking for change and profit on the river. A competing rafting outfit, clashing raft guides, stubborn townsfolk, and an exploratory mining company begin to threaten their tenuous livelihood. Then nature intervenes, in the form of historic floods throughout the Midwest. Amid tumultuous currents both on and off the river, Sam and Swami struggle to maintain the new life they’ve built. Before the summer draws to a close, the Brechts must learn to face the floodwaters together in order to create a sustainable future for their family, the town, and the pristine river from which it all flows. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/689474 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/689474]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Cuentos escogidos Author: Camilo José Cela Narrator: Tito Asorey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 42 minutes Release date: May 25, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Una nutrida selección de los mejores cuentos de Camilo José Cela, Nobel de Literatura y autor de La colmena, en un arco que abarca toda su carrera. La bien ganada fortuna que, muy tempranamente, alcanzó Cela como novelista eclipsó su faceta como escritor de relatos, un arte que sin embargo nunca dejó de cultivar. Más de una vez declaró su devoción por este género, del que decía que viene a ser «algo así como la piedra de toque del escritor en prosa». Otra cosa es que no siempre resulte fácil deslindar, dentro del amplísimo caudal de las piezas breves de Cela, cuáles admiten ser consideradas cuentos con propiedad. Este volumen ofrece una amplia y representativa selección de los textos que mejor se adecuan a esta etiqueta, así como de los que él mismo bautizó como «apuntes carpetovetónicos». Todos sumados conforman una abigarrada y portentosa galería de personajes, que Cela dibuja con su característica mezcla de humor, barbarie y piedad.

Sonst gibt es ja auch nicht viel, womit man sich in Riedenhagen, dem Kaff in dem sie wohnt, die Zeit vertreiben könnte.

The sea is steady for now. The land readies itself. What can be done with the woman on the cliff? On a wild and rugged island cut off and isolated to some, artist Nell feels the island is her home. It is the source of inspiration for her art, rooted in landscape, folklore and the feminine. The mysterious Iníons, a commune of women who have travelled there from all over the world, consider it a place of refuge and safety, of solace in nature. All the islanders live alongside the strange murmurings that seem to emanate from within the depths of the island, a sound that is almost supernatural – a Summoning as the Iníons call it. One day, a letter arrives at Nell’s door from the reclusive Iníons who invite Nell into the commune for a commission to produce a magnificent art piece to celebrate their long history. In its creation, Nell will discover things about the community and about herself that will challenge everything she thought she knew.

Title: Cities of Women Author: Kathleen B. Jones Narrator: Elisabeth Lagelée, Lauren Ezzo, Mia Barron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: In the twenty-first century, we meet Verity Frazier, a disillusioned history professor who sets out to prove that the artist responsible for the illuminated artwork in Christine de Pizan’s medieval manuscripts was a remarkable woman named Anastasia. As Anastasia’s story unfolds against the exquisitely-rendered medieval backdrop of moral disaster, political intrigue, and extraordinary creativity, Verity finds her career on the brink of collapse by her efforts to uncover evidence of the lost artist’s existence. A deeply affecting dual narrative separated by several centuries, Cities of Women examines the lives of women who dare to challenge the social norms of their days, risking their reputations and livelihoods for the sake of their passions. Inspired by a decade of research, Kathleen B. Jones has woven together a luminous and incisive masterpiece of historical fiction, evoking the spare joys and monumental pitfalls facing medieval women artists and a contemporary woman who becomes obsessed with medieval books.

Title: [Spanish] - El elogio de la sombra Author: Junichirô Tanizaki Narrator: Masumi Mutsuda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 45 minutes Release date: May 25, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A través de la contemplación silenciosa del mundo que lo rodea, Tanizaki desvela el misterio de la sombra, que no es otro que la esencia misma de la belleza, con un estilo sencillo y ameno pero asombrosamente equilibrado, sereno y sutil. Una obra clásica del pensamiento universal por primera vez traducida directamente del japonés. Un breve ensayo que hará las delicias de todo aquel interesado en la cultura japonesa y en el arte en general. Tras la aparente sencillez de sus lineas, Tanizaki desgrana su pensamiento estético y desvela, en una brillante y continua línea de ejemplos, un mundo misterioso, quizá desaparecido, al cual podemos acceder como fuente de inspiración para crear un mundo estético propio. Es el mundo de la sombra, en el cual la experiencia más nimia o el acto más banal puede ser sublime. El elogio de la sombra es un alegato a favor de un arte y una sociedad -la japonesa- que pone en valor la penumbra, el matiz, lo sutil, esos aspectos que enriquecen y dan interés a las cosas, frente a la obviedad occidental provocada por el exceso de luz, la modernización imparable y la practicidad, que al hacer las cosas tan obvias las convierte en estridentes.

Title: The Bridge of San Luis Rey Author: Thornton Wilder Narrator: Gary Macfadden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 40 minutes Release date: June 13, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Five people are killed when a heavily-traveled rope bridge in Peru collapses. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan friar, witnesses this event and this sets him on a quest: Who were each of these individuals? Why do unfortunate events happen to innocent or undeserving people? What led to these people being on the bridge at the fateful moment? While many view this novel as a serious reflection on life, death, and love, this narration highlights Wilder’s tongue-in-cheek stance, suggesting the author used humor, irony, and even sarcasm to examine faith, fate, and chance. Throughout the story, Wilder unleashes gentle sarcasm on the Catholic Church, the Peruvian administration, and Spanish American culture in general. In 1998 The Bridge of San Luis Rey was selected by the editorial board of the American Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the twentieth century.

Murrheim, 60er-Jahre: Als Magdas Mann sie wegen einer jüngeren Frau verlässt, bricht für sie eine Welt zusammen. Denn in ihrem Baden-Württembergischen Heimatort ist sie die einzige geschiedene Frau weit und breit. Das bringt sie nicht nur in finanzielle Nöte, auch ein gesellschaftliches Leben ist kaum mehr möglich, ihre Tochter Ursula wird in der Schule gehänselt. Doch Magda ist entschlossen, nicht aufzugeben, sie geht Putzen, nimmt jeden Job an. Auf einem Dorffest lernt sie einen amerikanischen Soldaten kennen, mit dem sie einen unvergesslichen Sommer verbringt. Unvergesslich auch deshalb, weil er eines Tages einfach verschwunden und Magda schwanger ist. Das ohnehin schwierige Verhältnis zu Tochter Ursula, die inzwischen selbst ein Kind hat, wird immer problematischer. Magda bekommt ihre Tochter Ellen und schlägt sich mehr schlecht als recht durch. Zwar gibt sie trotz der widrigen Umstände nicht so schnell auf und stellt sich durchaus den Herausforderungen und gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen der Zeit. Doch als ihr Leben wieder einmal an einem Tiefpunkt angelangt ist, hat Enkel Viktor eine zwielichtige Geschäftsidee: Endlich scheint Magda ein Leben in Glück zum Greifen nah.

Title: I Married a Communist Author: Philip Roth Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 46 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Philip Roth turns his gaze on 30s and 40s America in this magnificent successor to American Pastoral. Ira Ringold is an American roughneck who transforms himself from a ditch-digger in 1930s New Jersey, to a radio hotshot in the 1940s. In his heyday as a star - and as a bullying supporter of 'progressive' political causes - Ira marries Hollywood's leading lady, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling exposé that identifies Ira as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'. In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge friends become deadly enemies, parents and children estranged, lovers blacklisted and the great felled from vertiginous heights.

Title: [Spanish] - Antes que desaparezca Author: Sylvia Iparraguirre Narrator: Mariana Correa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 7 minutes Release date: May 25, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Lucía es una adolescente que llega a Buenos Aires para estudiar en la universidad y va a vivir a un pensionado de monjas que contrasta con la agitada vida política de la Facultad. La nueva y esperada novela de Sylvia Iparraguirre, una historia de amistad, iniciación y descubrimiento de la vida en la gran ciudad. «Tengo dieciocho años y miro el Río de la Plata. Estamos en la Costanera. Los domingos por la tarde, las monjas nos sacan a pasear. Soy yo, pero desde este lado del tiempo me veo como si fuera otra.» Lucía es una adolescente que llega a Buenos Aires para ingresar en la universidad. Su lugar para vivir: un pensionado de monjas; su lugar para estudiar: una de las facultades más politizadas de la época. En el internado encuentra la complicidad de dos compañeras entrañables con quienes va descubriendo una ciudad que la deslumbra. La convulsionada vida política de fines de los 60 y principio de los 70 es el escenario mítico de su iniciación a la vida adulta y establece un contrapunto dislocado, por momentos desopilante, con su vida cotidiana entre la madre directora y las demás pensionistas. Antes que desaparezca se arma sobre una trama sutilmente compleja a la vez que diáfana, que reafirma la pericia novelística de Sylvia Iparraguirre y nos entrega esta inolvidable novela de sesgo autobiográfico. «Novela extraordinaria con un impresionante manejo del tiempo narrativo. La chica del interior, el pensionado de monjas, la universidad, los explosivos años 60 y 70 arman una constelación inolvidable. La mejor novela de una novelista notable. Les deseo esta experiencia de lectura.» Juan Forn La crítica ha dicho: «La orfandad es una historia exquisita, de las que se leen a dos centímetros del suelo, y que reparan heridas.» Claudia Piñeiro, La Nación «Sylvia Iparraguirre ha escrito una novela hermosa, compleja, imaginativa y de mucho humor. Es un libro extraño, porque pese a que obliga al análisis se lee con rapidez: ¡que alguien explique este milagro de amenidad!» Alberto Laiseca, Ámbito Financiero, sobre El parque «Historia de mar y de suspenso enaltecida por un estremecedor relato psicológico y cultural, que cala hondo en la naturaleza humana.» Sandy Tylor, Curbstone Press, sobre La tierra del fuego «Un thriller del fin del mundo. Una reveladora meditación sobre civilización y barbarie.» Matthias Matussek, Der Spiegel, sobre La tierra del fuego «Anarquismo y soledad, cárcel y hogar para huérfanos, campo y ciudad arman una trama de superficie diáfana y una compleja utilización de recursos narrativos. El resultado es una novela perturbadoramente clara y muy sensible, entre lo mejor de la producción de la autora.» Ángel Berlanga, 'Radar', Página/12, sobre La orfandad Sylvia Iparraguirre Thu, 25 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/685603 thebookvoice.com 11:7:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/685603]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El sueño de los héroes Author: Adolfo Bioy Casares Narrator: Andrés Neuman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 28 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: La gran novela de Adolfo Bioy Casares sobre una aventura cotidiana que poco a poco va cobrando tintes fantásticos. Ambientada en los años treinta en una Buenos Aires fantasmal, El sueño de los héroes parte de la juerga que se dan Emilio Gauna y sus amigos durante tres noches de carnaval por los suburbios de la ciudad.

Con Cristóbal Colón desembarca en la isla Guanahaní y más tarde pasa a México, donde asiste al encuentro entre Hernán Cortés y Moctezuma.

Title: [Spanish] - La figura del mundo Author: Juan Villoro Narrator: José María De Tavira Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: May 18, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: «¿Hasta dónde podemos recuperar una memoria ajena? ¿Es posible entender lo que un padre ha sido sin nosotros? Ser hijo significa descender, alterar el tiempo, crear un desarreglo, un desajuste que se subsana con pedagogía, a veces con afecto o transmisión de conocimientos.» Juan Villoro relata en La figura del mundo, el orden secreto de las cosas, algunos pasajes memoriosos en torno a su padre, el pensador mexicano-catalán, Luis Villoro. Sin el afán de hacer una biografía en estricto sentido, Juan evoca aquí la vida singular de quien fuera filósofo, luchador social, zapatista y autor de una obra fundamental. En este libro hace una aproximación a una figura a la vez íntima y pública, adentrándose en las complejidades que toda vida tiene, narrando con maestría instantes que se desdoblan para entender el ubicuo presente. Recupera así, pues, la esencia de un padre quien estuvo presente en la vida familiar de un modo intangible, un padre que debe ser indagado por un hijo que intuye sus afectos y renueva, así, el pasado. Escrito con gran sensibilidad y agudeza, este libro condensa el asombro y la emotividad para quien la escritura se convirtió en «una permanente carta al padre».

Title: [Catalan] - Et vaig donar ulls i vas mirar les tenebres Author: Irene Solà Narrator: Irene Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 8 minutes Release date: May 10, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Una novel·la desbordant, plena d'històries i personatges maleïts més enllà del temps. Amagat entre muntanyes acinglerades i desavinents, en algun lloc remot de les Guilleries transitat per caçadors de llops, bandolers, emboscats, carlins, sortilleres, maquis, pilots de ral·lis, fantasmes, bèsties i dimonis, el mas Clavell s'agafa a terra com una paparra. És una casa, sobretot, habitada per dones, on un sol dia conté segles de records. Els de la Joana, que per trobar marit va fer un pacte que inauguraria una progènie aparentment corcada. Els de la Bernadeta, a qui manquen les pestanyes i, de tanta aigua de farigola com li van abocar als ulls quan era una nena, va acabar per veure el que no li tocava. Els de la Margarida, que en lloc d'un cor sencer en té un de tres quarts, rabiüt. O els de la Blanca, que va néixer sense llengua, amb la boca com un niu buit, i no parla, només observa. Aquestes dones, i més, avui preparen una festa. Amb el torrent verbal, el sentit del ritme i de l'humor, la gosadia formal i la capacitat d'evocar atmosferes i d'encarnar imaginaris que caracteritzen la seva obra, Irene Solà ha escrit una novel·la com un doll exultant d'històries, que explora la dualitat i el lligam intrínsec entre llum i foscor, vida  i mort, oblit i memòria, realitat i fabulació.

Еврейская девочка Жоэль начинает новую жизнь в Хайфе, на улице Яффо. В то же время у палестинки Амаль от родины не остается ничего, кроме воспоминаний — лишь апельсиновые рощи ее отца. В будущем, спустя годы, берлинский археолог Нина приедет в Палермо, чтобы забрать наследство своего пропавшего деда Морица. Там она встретит уже взрослую Жоэль, свою еврейскую тетю, и таинственного человека, который утверждает, что он сын ее деда. Никто из них не имеет ни малейшего представления о секрете, который объединяет их сквозь многие годы и далекие расстояния. Три семьи, три поколения, три культуры — и одна драматичная, трогающая душу судьба. Даниэль Шпек создал полифонический роман-детектив, в котором все голоса заслуживают быть услышанными, а история, которую они поведают, не может оставить равнодушным. даниэль шпек Wed, 03 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/685329 thebookvoice.com 21:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/685329]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Funeral Cryer: A Novel Author: Wenyan Lu Narrator: Helen Crevel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 0 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Debut novelist Wenyan Lu brings us this witty yet profound story about one woman’s midlife reawakening in contemporary rural China, for fans of Yiyun Li and Julie Otsuka. The Funeral Cryer long ago accepted the mundane realities of her life: avoided by fellow villagers because of the stigma attached to her job and underappreciated by her husband, whose fecklessness has pushed the couple close to the brink of breakup. But just when things couldn't be bleaker, she takes a leap of faith—and in so doing, things start to take a surprising turn for the better. Dark, moving and wry, The Funeral Cryer is both an illuminating depiction of a “left behind” society—and proof that it's never too late to change your life.

Title: Rabindranath Tagore: A BBC Radio Collection: Including The Home and the World & The Red Oleander Author: Rabindranath Tagore Narrator: Shireen Shah, Zia Mohyeddin, Saeed Jaffrey, Renu Setna, Ronny Jhutti, Sacha Dhawan, Indira Varma, Aileen Gonsalves, Peter Barker, Full Cast, Sam Dastor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: December 14, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A comprehensive anthology of dramatisations and readings of Tagore's finest works, plus bonus documentaries Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. A novelist, poet, playwright, composer, artist and philosopher, he wrote both the Indian and Bangladeshi national anthems; exchanged ideas with Yeats, Einstein and Gandhi, and was hugely influential in promoting Indian culture to the West. This collection includes some of Tagore's key novels, plays and short stories, as well as his best-known poem and four fascinating biographical programmes. We begin with two adaptations by award-winning dramatist Tanika Gupta. The Home and the World, starring Indira Varma and Sacha Dhawan, relocates Tagore's classic 1916 novel of love, power and political awakening to a contemporary British Muslim setting.

Title: Great Expectations: A Novel Author: Vinson Cunningham Narrator: Aaron Goodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 52 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A historic presidential campaign changes the trajectory of a young Black man’s life in this “coming of age story that captures the soul of America” (The Washington Post), the debut novel from The New Yorker staff writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Vinson Cunningham. “Brilliantly written, piercingly smart, quietly subversive, Great Expectations will be one of the talked-about novels of the year.”—Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin, winner of the National Book Award ONE OF SLATE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, NPR, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Town & Country, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Electric Lit, Current, WBEZ A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (SO FAR): Elle, Vox, Esquire I’d seen the Senator speak a few times before my life got caught up, however distantly, with his, but the first time I can remember paying real attention was when he delivered the speech announcing his run for the Presidency. When David first hears the Senator from Illinois speak, he feels deep ambivalence. Intrigued by the Senator’s idealistic rhetoric, David also wonders how he’ll balance the fervent belief and inevitable compromises it will take to become the United States’ first Black president. Great Expectations is about David’s eighteen months working for the Senator's presidential campaign. Along the way David meets a myriad of people who raise a set of questions—questions of history, art, race, religion, and fatherhood—that force David to look at his own life anew and come to terms with his identity as a young Black man and father in America. Meditating on politics and politicians, religion and preachers, fathers and family, Great Expectations is both an emotionally resonant coming-of-age story and a rich novel of ideas, marking the arrival of a major new writer.

Title: Ilium: A novel Author: Lea Carpenter Narrator: Tanya Cubric Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Set in the dark world of international espionage, from London to Mallorca, Croatia, Paris, and Cap Ferret: the gripping and suspenseful story of a young woman who unwittingly becomes a perfect asset in the long overdue finale of a covert special op The young English narrator of Lea Carpenter’s dazzling new novel has grown up unhappily in London, dreaming of escape, pretending to be someone else and obsessed with a locked private garden. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, at a party near that garden, she meets its charismatic and mysterious new owner, Marcus, thirty-three years older, who sweeps her off her feet. Before long they are married at his finca in Mallorca, and at last she has escaped into a new role – but at what price? On their honeymoon in Croatia, Marcus reveals there is something she can do for him—a plan is in place and she can help with “a favor.” This turns out to be posing as an art advisor to a family on Cap Ferret, where Marcus asks her to simply “listen.” A helicopter deposits her at a remote, highly guarded and lavishly appointed compound on a spit of land in the Atlantic. It’s presided over by an enigmatic, charming patriarch Edouard, along with his wife Dasha, children Nikki and Felix, and populated by a revolving cast of other guests—some suspicious, some intriguing, perhaps none, like her, what they seem. Brilliantly compelling, this is a spellbinding and unexpectedly poignant story of a long- planned, high-stakes CIA-Mossad operation that only needed the right asset to complete.

Title: The Book of Fire: A Novel Author: Christy Lefteri Narrator: Alix Dunmore Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 2, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “A tender depiction of loss and healing that raises questions about guilt and blame in the age of climate change.”—People “As with The Beekeeper of Aleppo, Lefteri transports the reader to a once lush and now destroyed world.”—Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale In present-day Greece, deep in an ancient forest, lives a family: Irini, a musician, who teaches children to read and play music; her husband, Tasso, who paints pictures of the forest, his greatest muse; and Chara, their young daughter, whose name means joy. On the fateful day that will forever alter the trajectory of their lives, flames chase fleeing birds across the sky. The wildfire that will consume their home, and their lives as they know it, races toward them. Months later, as the village tries to rebuild, Irini stumbles upon the man who started the fire, a land speculator who had intended only a small, controlled burn to clear forestland to build on but instead ignited a catastrophe. He is dying, although the cause is unclear, and in her anger at all he took from them, Irini makes a split-second decision that will haunt her. As the local police investigate the suspicious death, Tasso mourns his father, who has not been seen since before the fire. Tasso’s hands were burnt in the flames, leaving him unable to paint, and he struggles to cope with the overwhelming loss of his artistic voice and his beloved forest. Only his young daughter, who wants to repair the damage that’s been done, gives him hope for the future. Gorgeously written, sweeping in scope and intimate in tone, The Book of Fire is a masterful work about the search for meaning in the wake of tragedy, as well as the universal ties that bind people together, and to the land that they call home.

Gorgeously written, sweeping in scope and intimate in tone, The Book of Fire is a masterful work about the search for meaning in the wake of tragedy, as well as the universal ties that bind people together, and to the land that they call home. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684394 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684394]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Años de perro (Trilogía de Danzig 3) Series: #3 of Trilogía de Danzig Author: Günter Grass Narrator: Diego Rousselon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 27 hours 3 minutes Release date: May 18, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Hoy, cuando el pensamiento brutal y quirúrgico de las ideologías fascistas es una amenaza tan latente como lo era en la Alemania de Günter Grass, Años de perro recupera el valor de un aviso urgentísimo. Años de perro es la gran novela que Günter Grass publicó pasado casi un lustro de silencio tras El tambor de hojalata: un enorme fresco de la Alemania en la que nace, se desarrolla y desaparece el arrebato imperial del nacionalsocialismo. Su propia técnica es ya una sátira, un ajuste de cuentas con la megalomanía cultural e histórica que culmina en el nazismo. Todo en esta novela es original, porque había que reinventar el lenguaje y la narrativa para describir los horrores nuevamente inventados. La crítica ha dicho: «La obra -monumental, compleja, a veces difícil- presenta [...] muestras de genialidad y algunas expresiones superlativas de talento.» Alejandro San Francisco, El Imparcial «Sin duda una de las representaciones literarias más asombrosas desde Finnegans Wake. [...] Un libro importante.» Kirkus Reviews «Grass escribe como testigo de su época. Su proyecto se erige contra el olvido y el silenciamiento del pasado.» Cecilia Dreymüller, Babelia «Fue Günter Grass quien me demostró que era posible ser un autor vivo y escribir con la enorme paleta de emociones y el imparable torrente de palabras de Dickens. La escritura de Grass estaba llena de furia, amor, bufonadas, pathos... y todo con una consciencia implacable.» John Irving «El secreto de Grass radica en el equilibrio precario y único que ha conseguido crear entre su anárquica fuerza imaginativa y su raciocinio artístico superior.» Hans Magnus Enzensberger «Un autor que se ha hecho responsable de forma ejemplar de la credibilidad alemana en el mundo.» Adolf Muschg Günter Grass Thu, 18 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684394 thebookvoice.com 27:3:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684394]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Radiant Heat Author: Sarah-Jane Collins Narrator: Tamsin Carroll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: When a catastrophic wildfire suddenly rips through a woman’s hometown, she thinks she is lucky to have survived . . . until she finds a dead woman in her driveway, clutching a piece of paper with her name on it. . . . The blaze came out of nowhere one summer afternoon, a wall of fire fed by blustering wind. Yet, somehow, Alison is alive. She rode out the fire on the damp tiles of her bathroom, her entire body swaddled in a wet woolen blanket. As flames crackled around her, the bitter char of eucalyptus settled in the back of her throat, each breath more desperate than the last.  The wildfire that devastated the Victoria countryside Alison calls home sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to obliterate her carefully constructed life. When Alison emerges from her sheltering place, she spots a soot-covered cherry red car in her driveway, and in it, a dead woman. Alison has never met Simone Arnold in her life . . . or so she thinks. So what is Simone doing here?  As Alison searches for answers across Australia’s scorched bushlands, she soon learns that the fire isn’t the only threat she’s facing. . . .

Title: You Dreamed of Empires: A Novel Author: álvaro Enrigue Narrator: Gabriel Porras Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF 2024 A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY TOP TEN BOOKS OF THE YEAR NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN 'Enrigue’s genius lies in his ability to bring readers close to its tangled knot of priests, mercenaries, warriors and princesses while adding a pinch of biting humor.' --Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Los Angeles Times “Riotously entertaining... A triumph of solemnity-busting erudition and mischievous invention that will delight and titillate.” --Financial Times From the visionary author of Sudden Death, a hallucinatory, revelatory colonial revenge story. One morning in 1519, conquistador Hernán Cortés enters the city of Tenochtitlan – today's Mexico City. Later that day, he will meet the emperor Moctezuma in a collision of two worlds, two empires, two languages, two possible futures. Cortés is accompanied by his captains, his troops, his prized horses, and his two translators: Friar Aguilar, a taciturn friar, and Malinalli, an enslaved, strategic Nahua princess. After nearly bungling their entrance to the city, the Spaniards are greeted at a ceremonial welcome meal by the steely Aztec princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of Moctezuma. As they await their meeting with the emperor – who is at a political and spiritual crossroads, and relies on hallucinogens to get by – Cortés and his entourage are ensconced in the labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortés’s captains, Jazmín Caldera, overwhelmed by the grandeur of the place, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed into the city, and wonders at the chances of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire. And what if... they don't? You Dreamed of Empires brings Tenochtitlan to life at its height, and reimagines its destiny. The incomparably original Álvaro Enrigue sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, a restitutive, fantastical counterattack, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream. álvaro Enrigue Tue, 09 Jan 2024 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684382 thebookvoice.com 6:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684382]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Selected Short Stories Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Selected Short Stories is a collection of some of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable and thought-provoking works. Published in 1931, the collection includes several of his best-known stories, such as 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,' 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair,' and 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' These stories explore themes of social class, love, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Fitzgerald's writing style is characterized by its elegance, wit, and poetic language, making his stories both engaging and thought-provoking. One of the recurring themes in Fitzgerald's stories is the tension between the individual and society. In many of his stories, the characters are struggling to find their place in a society that values wealth, status, and conformity. This is particularly evident in 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair,' in which the protagonist, Bernice, must decide whether to conform to the expectations of her wealthy cousin or to follow her own desires. Similarly, in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' the protagonist must come to terms with his unusual condition, which sets him apart from the rest of society. Another important theme in Fitzgerald's stories is the fleeting nature of happiness and the inevitability of change. Many of his characters are searching for love, success, or fulfillment, but find that these things are elusive and ultimately fleeting. This is particularly evident in 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,' in which the protagonist discovers a hidden mountain of diamonds, only to realize that his wealth is meaningless in the face of the vastness of the universe. Fitzgerald's stories remind us that life is both beautiful and fragile and that the pursuit of happiness can be both exhilarating and heartbreaking. Overall, Selected Short Stories is a testament to Fitzgerald's talent as a writer and his ability to capture the spirit of his time. F.

Scott Fitzgerald Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Selected Short Stories is a collection of some of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable and thought-provoking works. Published in 1931, the collection includes several of his best-known stories, such as 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,' 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair,' and 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' These stories explore themes of social class, love, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Fitzgerald's writing style is characterized by its elegance, wit, and poetic language, making his stories both engaging and thought-provoking. One of the recurring themes in Fitzgerald's stories is the tension between the individual and society. In many of his stories, the characters are struggling to find their place in a society that values wealth, status, and conformity. This is particularly evident in 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair,' in which the protagonist, Bernice, must decide whether to conform to the expectations of her wealthy cousin or to follow her own desires. Similarly, in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' the protagonist must come to terms with his unusual condition, which sets him apart from the rest of society. Another important theme in Fitzgerald's stories is the fleeting nature of happiness and the inevitability of change. Many of his characters are searching for love, success, or fulfillment, but find that these things are elusive and ultimately fleeting. This is particularly evident in 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,' in which the protagonist discovers a hidden mountain of diamonds, only to realize that his wealth is meaningless in the face of the vastness of the universe. Fitzgerald's stories remind us that life is both beautiful and fragile and that the pursuit of happiness can be both exhilarating and heartbreaking. Overall, Selected Short Stories is a testament to Fitzgerald's talent as a writer and his ability to capture the spirit of his time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684346 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/684346]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Dubliners Author: James Joyce Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 48 minutes Release date: April 29, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories written by James Joyce and published in 1914. The stories are set in Dublin, Ireland, and explore the lives of ordinary people in the city at the turn of the 20th century. Joyce’s use of vivid imagery and subtle symbolism creates a powerful sense of atmosphere and character that draws readers into the world of Dublin and its inhabitants. The stories are arranged in a chronological sequence, starting with childhood experiences and progressing through adolescence, young adulthood, and middle age, before culminating in old age and death. Each story offers a glimpse into a different aspect of Dublin life, and together they form a rich tapestry of the city and its people. One of the central themes of Dubliners is the idea of paralysis. Joyce portrays his characters as being trapped in a cycle of frustration and despair, unable to break free from the constraints of their social and economic circumstances. This sense of paralysis is evident in many of the stories, such as 'The Sisters,' in which the young narrator is unable to come to terms with the death of a priest who had been a mentor to him, or 'Eveline,' in which a young woman is torn between her desire for freedom and her sense of duty to her family. The theme of paralysis is also evident in the closing story, 'The Dead,' which explores the idea of spiritual death and the inability of the characters to connect with one another. Despite its bleak portrayal of life in Dublin, Dubliners is also a celebration of the city and its people. Joyce’s attention to detail and his vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells of the city bring the setting to life and create a sense of intimacy with the characters.

Title: The Henry David Thoreau Box Author: Henry David Thoreau Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 45 minutes Release date: April 21, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Henry David Thoreau was an American writer and philosopher who lived in the 19th century. He is best known for his work Walden, a reflection on simple living in natural surroundings. Walden is Thoreau's account of his two-year experience living in a small cabin on the shores of Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. In the book, he emphasizes the importance of living a simple, deliberate life and being self-sufficient. Thoreau's observations on the natural world and his critique of American society have made Walden a classic of American literature. In addition to Walden, Thoreau wrote extensively on social and political issues of his time. One of his most famous works in this regard is Civil Disobedience, which advocates for nonviolent resistance to unjust laws. In the essay, Thoreau argues that it is not only a citizen's right, but their duty to disobey unjust laws and to be willing to accept the consequences of their actions. The essay has had a significant impact on political and social movements around the world, inspiring figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Cape Cod is another of Thoreau's works, in which he describes his journey through the coastal region of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Title: Beautiful Maria of My Soul Author: Oscar Hijuelos Narrator: Armando Durán Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: In this mesmerizing sequel to a Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, the "heart-stealing heroine" (Amy Tan) and muse of Cuban musician Nestor Castillo takes readers on the journey of a lifetime with this story of reinvention, romance, and revolution.  In Beautiful María of My Soul, Oscar Hijuelos returns to the passionate tale he began twenty years ago in The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. María is the great Cuban beauty who stole musician Nestor Castillo's heart and broke it, inspiring him to write the Mambo Kings' biggest hit, "Beautiful María of My Soul.'" Now in her sixties and living as an exile in Miami, María remains a beauty, still capable of turning heads. But while she left Cuba decades ago, she has never forgotten Nestor. As she thinks back to her days—and nights—in Havana, an entirely new perspective on the Mambo Kings story unfolds. Beautiful María of My Soul is a stunning act of reinvention, and another contemporary classic from an extraordinarily talented writer.

Dan and Isabel, husband and wife, are slowly drifting apart—and both, it seems, are a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, is living vicariously through a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house—and whose departure threatens to break the family apart.

The stories range from humorous to highly emotional, from heart-warming to bizarre: Canary Wharf resembles the Emerald City, voodoo goddesses wander the streets of East London casting evil before them, and a tube station exists beneath the capital, but doesn't appear on any map... Featuring Peter Marinker, Adjoa Andoh and Jamie Foreman. The City Speaks was a co-production between BBC Radio Drama and Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network (FLAMIN). The Mystery of Charles Dickens - Simon Callow delivers an outstanding performance of Peter Ackroyd's one-man show portraying both Charles Dickens and many of his best-loved characters. Readings from his novels interweave with Dickens' own words in an incisive, compassionate and unforgettable journey. This collection features an exclusive introduction by Simon Callow. ©2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683992 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683992]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Life Swap Author: Barbara Hannay Narrator: Cassandra Sorrell, Taylor Owynns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 50 minutes Release date: August 8, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Tess is feeling burnt out from her uninspiring job and her busy city lifestyle. Even her personal relationships make her feel as if she's simply drifting through life rather than living it to the full. Having tragically lost her mother a few years earlier, she knows she owes it to herself to make so much more of the precious opportunities life offers. Her godmother Luna, who leads a very simple existence in a rustic cottage in the North Queensland rainforest, is also at something of a crossroads. Keen to expand her jewellery-making business, she needs the new connections that a bustling city offers. When she suggests to Tess that the two of them might swap homes for an extended period, it seems the perfect solution. Tess soon finds herself in a new world, adapting to life off-grid, dodging cassowaries, working in a charity bookstore and falling for the gorgeous but unavailable guy next door. Meanwhile, Luna gets far more than she bargained for, with police on her doorstep, old lovers turning up out of the blue, and the possibility of having her biggest secret exposed. Are they about to discover that taking great risks can bring even greater rewards? A moving and heart-warming story by the bestselling Australian author of The Garden of Hopes and Dreams and The Happiest Little Town.

Title: [Spanish] - Miseria Author: Dolores Reyes Narrator: Soledad García De Quirós Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 35 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: LA CONSAGRACIÓN DE UNA DE LAS GRANDES SORPRESAS DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA Por la autora de Cometierra, «una revelación lectora» (Babelia), y una de las mejores novelas latinoamericanas del año para The New York Times y de los mejores libros del año según El País y El Cultural, traducido a doce idiomas. «Visceral y urgente». Mariana Enriquez «Una increíble mezcla entre fantasía y thriller que combina una prosa elegante con elementos del realismo mágico». Booklist «Lo más intenso que he leído en mucho tiempo». Luna Miguel «Me había jurado no volver a comer tierra y ahora me quema la lengua y me ruge el estómago reclamándola. La tierra está llena de secretos pero no para mí». Cometierra ha elegido dos cosas: un barrio nuevo y no volver a usar su poder adivinatorio nunca más. Rodeada de desconocidos, va saliendo poco a poco de su encierro y aprende a manejarse en su nuevo entorno, al tiempo que aguarda el nacimiento de su sobrino, hijo de su hermano Walter y de la novia de este, Miseria. Es precisamente esta última quien, al ver en el don de Cometierra un lucrativo potencial económico, la anima a recuperar las visiones que le permitían encontrar a gente desaparecida. Para ello, tendrá que resolver casos recientes y antiguos, desvelar secretos de su historia familiar y poner su vida en las manos de una bruja más poderosa que ella. «Una novela redonda en la que Reyes vuelve a ofrecernos una prosa visceral y poética, unas imágenes bellas y desgarradoras, una literatura comprometida con la comunidad». Anna María Iglesia, El Mundo (La Lectura) «Tremendamente violenta e implacable. [...] Fantasía y thriller se dan cita en esta elegante novela». Macarena Orte, Marie Claire «Una conmovedora aventura. [...] Con un estilo muy particular y directo, y al mismo tiempo con un reclamo que es universal, el libro se convierte en un potente homenaje a las víctimas de todo tipo de desigualdades». Verónica Barrueco, Zenda «Miseria es la contracara de Cometierra. [...] La Reyes oscura es la que mira al lente de la cámara dentro de una iglesia o en el cementerio; la Reyes luminosa es la que cuenta su historia». Federico Rivas Molina, Babelia «[Reyes] abrió desde la literatura un potente camino para hablar de la lacra de feminicidios que asola el mundo desde universos simbólicos tan sugerentes como femeninos. La tierra, la magia, los saberes tradicionales de la adivinación sustituyen, en esta metáfora infinita, a los métodos científicos y forenses». Alba Correa, Vogue Sobre Cometierra: «Con un lenguaje profundamente poético al tiempo que visceral, Cometierra camina al filo de la huella de autores fundamentales como Juan Rulfo o Sara Gallardo, y reinventa con brillo propio y una voz singular el universo del conurbano bonaerense». Selva Amada «El lirismo áspero y sensible de Dolores Reyes te explota en las manos, lectora, lector. La novela negra argentina, la novela a secas, mejor dicho, tiene a la heroína que nos estaba haciendo falta, una a la que la tierra la habla en la llanura envenenada, y tiene, también, una prosa que brilla. Con Cometierra, Reyes reina».

Title: [Spanish] - Los fuegos de otoño Author: Irène Némirovsky Narrator: Charo Soria Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Un sensacional fresco narrativo ambientada en el París febril y disoluto de entreguerras. Obra cumbre de Irène Némirovsky y baluarte literario contra el fanatismo y la intolerancia, Suite francesa cautivó al mundo con su retrato inmisericorde de la sociedad francesa de entreguerras. En Los fuegos de otoño, Némirovsky compone de nuevo un sensacional fresco narrativo del envilecimiento de la burguesía parisina durante ese período vertiginoso. Escrita en la primavera de 1942, al mismo tiempo que Suite francesa y pocos meses antes de la muerte de la autora, y publicada a título póstumo en 1957,Los fuegos de otoño sobrevivió milagrosamente a los estragos del nazismo, y el reciente descubrimiento de una copia de la novela con abundantes correcciones de la propia Némirovsky le confiere un valor adicional incalculable. Finalizada la Primera Guerra Mundial, Bernard Jacquelain regresa de las trincheras con una medalla, pero desilusionado ante la falta de perspectivas. Tras los horrores presenciados en el frente, lucha por hacerse un hueco en el mundillo de los negocios turbios que campan a sus anchas en París. ¿Qué puede atraer a la bella y sensata Thérèse del rebelde y un tanto desvergonzado Bernard? A pesar de los desengaños y sufrimientos que puede acarrearle esa relación, Thérèse lo quiere y confía en que la fuerza del amor acabe por imponerse. Durante diez años, gracias al dinero fácil, ambos disfrutan de los mediocres placeres de la vida burguesa, pero cuando los tambores de guerra vuelven a sonar con fuerza y el futuro se torna incierto, todo empieza a desmoronarse. Ambientada en el París febril y disoluto de entreguerras, Los fuegos de otoño es no sólo un retrato íntimo de unos hombres y mujeres en busca de una libertad imposible, sino también una semblanza implacable y sobrecogedora de una clase social presa de sus privilegios y costumbres. La crítica ha dicho... «Irène Némirovsky posee la fuerza de un Balzac o un Dostoievski.» Neue Zürcher Zeitung «Los admiradores de Suite francesa no querrán perderse esta novela.» The Sunday Times «Un relato humano e incisivo sobre las dos grandes guerras del siglo XX.» The New York Times Book Review Irène Némirovsky Thu, 01 Jun 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683868 thebookvoice.com 7:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683868]]> to listen full audiobooks.

La crítica ha dicho... «Irène Némirovsky posee la fuerza de un Balzac o un Dostoievski.» Neue Zürcher Zeitung «Los admiradores de Suite francesa no querrán perderse esta novela.» The Sunday Times «Un relato humano e incisivo sobre las dos grandes guerras del siglo XX.» The New York Times Book Review https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683676 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683676]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El fin de la historia Author: Liliana Heker Narrator: Mariana Maciel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 15 minutes Release date: May 11, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Reedición de la novela más polémica de Liliana Heker, El fin de la historia. La historia de dos amigas: una militante revolucionaria que termina por traicionar la causa, y una escritora en ciernes que se propone escribir la historia pesadillesca de toda una generación. '...teníamos de verdad la vida por delante y la revolución en nuestras manos y creímos estar a las puertas de todo, y una noche, sin previo aviso, caímos como en un pozo sin fondo en este miedo.' Diana y Leonora son amigas desde la escuela primaria. Las dos aman leer y su poderoso vínculo las protege y acompaña a medida que crecen. Leonora es alta e imponente, de fuertes convicciones, audaz, decidida. Diana, más discreta y muy hábil con la palabra escrita, aspira a contar la historia de su generación, la de los movimientos revolucionarios latinoamericanos, herederos de similares luchas europeas que escupieron a su gente hasta estas tierras. Convertida en una destacada militante y entregada a la lucha armada, Leonora empieza a vivir peligrosamente, hasta que un día pasa a integrar las listas de desaparecidos. Diana trata desesperadamente de averiguar qué pasó con Leonora. Lo que no sabe -o no quiere saber- es que la verdad es mucho más compleja y dolorosa de lo que pueda imaginar. Novela disruptiva, provocadora y visceral, El fin de la historia es la gran novela política de Liliana Heker, donde demuestra, a través de una estructura que integra perfectamente distintos tiempos y de una escritura tersa y profunda, porqué es una de nuestras escritoras más admiradas y leídas de las últimas décadas. La crítica ha dicho... «No se puede -ni se quiere- huir de esa obra fascinante que es la literatura de Liliana Heker. Desconfiados o seducidos, caemos en cada cuento como amenazados de muerte para darnos cuenta de que sólo hay amenazas de vida, que la salvación está en el texto, en sus palabras, que es en el sendero preciso del lenguaje, donde nos esperan los seres más curiosos, las peripecias más extrañas, la vida más intensa.» Griselda Gambaro «Ciertos filósofos nos dicen que nuestras vidas carecen de sentido y coherencia. La obra de Heker es prueba de lo contrario. Sus cuentos son rigurosas crónicas de los íntimos e inconfesables temores y deseos que alimentan nuestras tragedias y felicidades cotidianas, narradas con implacable lógica y conmovedor entendimiento.» Alberto Manguel «Lo que hay en los cuentos de Liliana Heker es una vitalidad feroz y envidiable. La energía de los que creen en el trabajo, en la vida, y en la literatura.» Samanta Schweblin «Una obra que impacta por su honestidad y se vuelve imprescindible, para aspirantes y consagrados.» Verónica Abdala, Clarín, sobre La trastienda de la escritura Liliana Heker Thu, 11 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683386 thebookvoice.com 6:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683386]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Sus cuentos son rigurosas crónicas de los íntimos e inconfesables temores y deseos que alimentan nuestras tragedias y felicidades cotidianas, narradas con implacable lógica y conmovedor entendimiento.» Alberto Manguel «Lo que hay en los cuentos de Liliana Heker es una vitalidad feroz y envidiable. La energía de los que creen en el trabajo, en la vida, y en la literatura.» Samanta Schweblin «Una obra que impacta por su honestidad y se vuelve imprescindible, para aspirantes y consagrados.» Verónica Abdala, Clarín, sobre La trastienda de la escritura https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683385 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/683385]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Annie John Author: Jamaica Kincaid Narrator: Laura Encarnación Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 21 minutes Release date: May 11, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Una de las novelas de iniciación más celebradas de todos los tiempos, premiada con la Center for Fiction’s Clifton Fadiman Medal, que consagró a la candidata al Nobel Jamaica Kincaid. «Una de las pocas escritoras angloparlantes actuales a las que nunca querría dejar de leer». Susan Sontag En la apacible isla tropical de Antigua, Annie John vive su infancia en un entorno paradisiaco, al amparo de sus padres y educada en un buen colegio. Pero, como en la mayoría de los paraísos, en algún oscuro rincón acecha la serpiente. A medida que Annie deja atrás la niñez, las inevitables transformaciones físicas y emocionales anuncian otra etapa, marcada por la rebeldía, el cuestionamiento de su pequeño universo y, para su disgusto, los cambios en su progenitora, quien de pronto sustituye su amor incondicional por una desconcertante rivalidad femenina. Al término de la etapa escolar, Annie deja atrás Antigua y a los suyos, pero arrastra consigo el duelo por la madre a la que antaño amó. Con su estilo lúcido y esencial y una voz urgente, desgarradora y universalmente familiar, Jamaica Kincaid desarrolla el tema que está en el corazón de su obra: la ambivalencia de los vínculos maternos y la difícil transición de la niñez a la adolescencia. La crítica ha dicho: «Fuentes bien informadas de Estocolmo llevan unos cuantos años susurrando el nombre de Jamaica Kincaid como seria candidata al Premio Nobel de Literatura». Xavi Ayén, La Vanguardia «Una escritora irresistible, sobrecogedora, espléndida en su sencillez». Susan Sontag «Una historia tan conmovedora y familiar que cualquiera puede verse reflejado en ella, y esa es la mayor fuerza de la novela, su sabiduría, su autenticidad». The New York Times Book Review «Una novela de iniciación mágica, poética e intensamente emotiva». Booklist «Una novela cuya poesía se sustenta en los detalles, en la cuidadosa representación de la vida de esta heroína adolescente». The Washington Post «La tradicional historia del paso de la niñez a la adolescencia adquiere aquí un intenso y extraño brillo». Los Angeles Times «No se me ocurre ningún otro escritor cuya voz contenga tal intensidad de rabia y amor. Es un sonido mágico, bíblico y lleno de música». Mona Simpson, The Paris Review «Una de las narradoras más intensas y explosivas del momento». Fernanda Eberstadt, The New York Times Book Review «Una de las [escritoras] más respetadas de las letras estadounidenses. [...] Fundamental». Elena Hevia, El Periódico «Sus libros son crudos, excesivos y sobre todo hermosos, porque obedecen al deseo antiguo y crucial de trajinar largamente hasta conseguir un poco de belleza entre las ruinas». Alejandro Zambra, Letras Libres «Cuando escribe una frase [...], esta parece descubrirse a sí misma y cómo se siente [el narrador]. Y esto es asombroso, porque una cosa es ser capaz de enunciar bien y otra muy distinta captar la temperatura del narrador, sus emociones». Derek Walcott, Premio Nobel de Literatura «La fuerza arrolladora de las historias de Kincaid reside en su capacidad de resistirse a todos los cánones. Se mueven al ritmo de un tambor y al ritmo del jazz». Giovanna Covi «Una prosa precisa, irónica y evocadora. [...] La soberbia concisión de su estilo la convierte en un modelo de cómo esquivar muchas trampas novelísticas».

Title: Dreaming of Flight: A Novel Author: Catherine Ryan Hyde Narrator: Michael Crouch, Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 21 minutes Release date: May 3, 2022 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: An unexpected connection becomes the saving grace for two unlikely friends in a heart-stirring novel about love, loss, and moving forward by a New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author. Never knowing his parents, eleven-year-old Stewie Little and his brother have been raised on a farm by their older sister. Stewie steadfastly tends the chickens left by his beloved late grandmother. And every day Stewie goes door to door selling fresh eggs from his wagon—a routine with a surprise just around the corner. It’s his new customer, Marilyn. She’s prickly and guarded, yet comfortably familiar—she reminds the grieving Stewie so much of the grandmother he misses more than he can express. Marilyn has a reason for keeping her distance: a secret no one knows about. Her survival tactic is to draw a line between herself and other people—one that Stewie is determined to cross. As their visits become more frequent, a complicated but deeply rooted relationship grows. That’s when Stewie discovers how much more there is to Marilyn, to her past, and to challenges that become more pressing each day. But whatever difficult times lie ahead, Stewie learns that although he can’t fix everything for Marilyn or himself, at least he’s no longer alone.

A small town cut off from the world. An unexpected community of survivors forges a family out of the despair, struggling against things known and unknown for survival and hope. A mysterious plague known as the Grey grips the small village of Pilam, which the world has quarantined without pity. Laying waste to Pilam’s residents, the sickness saps its victims of strength, drains the color from their eyes, and kills all promise. Only the young are immune. But beyond the barricades and walls of soldiers—the manifestation of a nation’s terror—there are rumors of a cure. Dunka, the eldest son of a family reeling from the Grey, takes on the daunting task of leaving Pilam to find that cure for his siblings and save them before it’s too late. His brother and sisters, however, have plans of their own. Navigating the chaos of violence, hunger, and death, each of them tries to make sense of the bleak circumstances, forging new bonds with other juvenile survivors left to their own devices. Now an unlikely family of six, they choose their own perilous paths, at first separately and then together, coming to terms with the decisions they make and the ghosts they cannot leave behind. Umar Turaki’s gripping novel is a story of survival, love, and the human spirit’s tenacious capacity for wonder.

Embarking on an emotional journey, Dora is about to find out how deeply and fatefully she is entwined with secret tradition. Beautifully weaving together fact, folklore, and fiction, Kateřina Tučková draws on the stories of her ancestors to explore the extraordinary history of goddesses who walked the earth.

Now an academic, Dora is researching the tales that for generations spellbound the hillside where she grew up.

Embarking on an emotional journey, Dora is about to find out how deeply and fatefully she is entwined with secret tradition.

It’s been a year since Yuki Hirano left home—or more precisely, was booted from it—to study forestry in the remote mountain village of Kamusari.

In between, he records local legends—tales pulsing with life, passion, and wondrous gods. Kamusari has other charms as well. One of them is Nao. Yuki’s crush on the only other young single person in the village isn’t a secret.

Finally finding his place among the villagers, a feeling deepened by his crush, Yuki seems headed for a dream life of adventure and camaraderie—and Nao could be the missing piece of that dream.

Title: someone birthed them broken: Stories Author: Ama Asantewa Diaka Narrator: Cole Asare, Ekua Ekumah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 26 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: “Delightfully assertive, subversive and vibrant... an original voice.” ––Imbolo Mbue, author of the New York Times bestseller and PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction winner Behold the Dreamers • ''A compelling delight''—Booklist A visceral and candid portrait of today’s Ghanaian youth, told in interconnected short stories by acclaimed spoken-word artist and author of the poetry collection Woman, Eat Me Whole Ama Asantewa Diaka. In this startling collection of short fiction, Ama Asantewa Diaka creates a vibrant portrait of young Ghanaians’ today, captured in the experiences of characters whose lives bump against one other in friendship, passion, hope, and heartache. Men like Opoku Sr., not yet forty and struggling to keep his family’s cocoa business afloat after his father’s unexpected passing. Opoku strains under the burden of caring for his eight younger siblings and the child whose mother ran off. When his new girlfriend tells him she’s pregnant, he knows he has nothing left to give. Years later, that girlfriend’s son, Opoku Jr., now faces his own troubles, including his girlfriend Boatemaa, who (correctly) suspects he is sneaking around, and Amoafoa, the woman he’s seeing on the side. And there is John, who confides to his crush Baaba about a surprising encounter with a male friend over a game of FIFA; Baaba, who falls into a whirlwind romance with her professor that ends in violence; and their friend Ayeley, who is learning to accept pleasure after being raised to believe it is sinful. Diaka charts this constellation of interconnected lives in thirteen stories, exploring themes which run through the collection like a current: corruption and economic hardship, trauma and infidelity, shame, neglect, and the tribulations of the female body. In telling their stories, Diaka illuminates hope, freedom, and triumph that can be found in the everyday—the bonds between women, the joys of love and sex and art and dancing, the possibility of repair and redemption. Renowned for her spoken word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka demonstrates her lyrical brilliance in this emotionally rich work that unveils profound truths about her country, its inhabitants, and the universality of human experience.

Title: The Nature Book Author: Tom Comitta Narrator: Josh Bloomberg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a 'literary supercut' that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.

Title: The Alexander Pushkin BBC Radio Collection: Including Eugene Onegin, Boris Godunov & The Queen of Spades Author: Alexander Pushkin Narrator: Max Irons, Moira Lister, Geoffrey Streatfeild, Linus Roache, Alison Pettitt, Hattie Morahan, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Howard, Paul Scofield, Bill Nighy, Full Cast, Greg Wise, Simon Callow, Alex Jennings Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 49 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Dramatisations and readings of Pushkin's most famous works - plus biographical programmes and an original play based on his life One of Russia's most iconic poets, Alexander Pushkin is often described as the 'father of Russian literature'. A gambler, playboy and social reformer, he was exiled by the Tsar for his controversial poetry and died aged 37 in a duel defending his wife's honour. This BBC Radio anthology opens with full-cast dramatisations of his two masterpieces, Eugene Onegin and The Bronze Horseman, both set against the backdrop of his turbulent life. The former, set the night before the fateful duel, sees Pushkin (Geoffrey Streitfeild) telling his wife the story of St Petersburg socialite Onegin, his best friend, and the woman who loves him. In the latter, starring Max Irons, Pushkin's epic poem symbolising the battle between Tsar and citizen is interspersed with scenes depicting his own parallel struggles with state power. The inspiration for Rachmaninov's opera Aleko, The Gypsies is a powerful exploration in narrative verse of the conflict between freedom and love. Zemfira brings Aleko, a man running from the law, home to meet her father, but life in a gypsy camp is more challenging than he imagined. Read by Ralph Fiennes, Alex Jennings and Gabrielle Glaister. Set during the 'Time of Troubles' in the early 1600s, Pushkin's only full-length play, Boris Godunov, is a historical drama about the Russian ruler Boris Godunov, who was Tsar from 1598 to 1605. It features a stellar cast including Alan Howard, Bill Nighy and Jane Lapotaire. His 'little tragedy', Mozart and Salieri, tells of the rivalry between Mozart and Antonio Salieri, who was rumoured to have been behind Mozart's early death. Starring Paul Scofield as Salieri and Simon Callow as Mozart. Also included are four superb short stories - 'The Snowstorm', starring Janet Maw and Michael Maloney, 'The Squire's Daughter', read by Hattie Morahan, 'The Queen of Spades', featuring Moira Lister, Greg Wise and Amanda Root, and 'The Golden Cockerel', read by Alec McCowen. Finally, two bonus features chart Pushkin's extraordinary life and legacy. Soul of Fire: Alexander Pushkin 1799-1837 comprises three hours of music, drama and biography, as presenter Gerard McBurney visits the places that were formative influences on Pushkin, and introduces dramatised excerpts from his work and operatic adaptations by Tchaikovsky, Glinka and Mussorgsky. And in the original drama Cloudberries, starring Linus Roache as Pushkin, poet Elaine Feinstein tells the story of the great Russian author, from his unhappy childhood to his untimely death.

Zemfira brings Aleko, a man running from the law, home to meet her father, but life in a gypsy camp is more challenging than he imagined. Read by Ralph Fiennes, Alex Jennings and Gabrielle Glaister. Set during the 'Time of Troubles' in the early 1600s, Pushkin's only full-length play, Boris Godunov, is a historical drama about the Russian ruler Boris Godunov, who was Tsar from 1598 to 1605. It features a stellar cast including Alan Howard, Bill Nighy and Jane Lapotaire. His 'little tragedy', Mozart and Salieri, tells of the rivalry between Mozart and Antonio Salieri, who was rumoured to have been behind Mozart's early death. Starring Paul Scofield as Salieri and Simon Callow as Mozart. Also included are four superb short stories - 'The Snowstorm', starring Janet Maw and Michael Maloney, 'The Squire's Daughter', read by Hattie Morahan, 'The Queen of Spades', featuring Moira Lister, Greg Wise and Amanda Root, and 'The Golden Cockerel', read by Alec McCowen. Finally, two bonus features chart Pushkin's extraordinary life and legacy. Soul of Fire: Alexander Pushkin 1799-1837 comprises three hours of music, drama and biography, as presenter Gerard McBurney visits the places that were formative influences on Pushkin, and introduces dramatised excerpts from his work and operatic adaptations by Tchaikovsky, Glinka and Mussorgsky. And in the original drama Cloudberries, starring Linus Roache as Pushkin, poet Elaine Feinstein tells the story of the great Russian author, from his unhappy childhood to his untimely death.

A gambler, playboy and social reformer, he was exiled by the Tsar for his controversial poetry and died aged 37 in a duel defending his wife's honour. This BBC Radio anthology opens with full-cast dramatisations of his two masterpieces, Eugene Onegin and The Bronze Horseman, both set against the backdrop of his turbulent life. The former, set the night before the fateful duel, sees Pushkin (Geoffrey Streitfeild) telling his wife the story of St Petersburg socialite Onegin, his best friend, and the woman who loves him. In the latter, starring Max Irons, Pushkin's epic poem symbolising the battle between Tsar and citizen is interspersed with scenes depicting his own parallel struggles with state power.

Title: [Spanish] - La invención de Morel Author: Adolfo Bioy Casares Narrator: Andrés Neuman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: ALFAGUARA RECUPERA LA OBRA MAESTRA DEL GÉNERO FANTÁSTICO EN ESPAÑOL «He discutido con su autor los pormenores de su trama, la he releído; no me parece una imprecisión o una hipérbole calificarla de perfecta». Jorge Luis Borges Un misterioso edificio construido en una isla en 1924, un diario escrito por un fugitivo encerrado en sí mismo que se enamora de una mujer impasible, y un comentarista que lo desautoriza en distintas notas al pie. Para la mayoría de los lectores —y qué difícil sería desmentirlos—, La invención de Morel es la obra maestra de Adolfo Bioy Casares, una novela con componentes filosóficos tan potente que llegó a influir, especialmente por medio de Lost, sobre el universo aún en boga de las series. Una trama con aparecidos tan adelantada a su tiempo que su lectura es capaz de resignificar, incluso, episodios traumáticos de la historia de Argentina que, al momento de su publicación, ni siquiera podían sospecharse. «La gran novela argentina en lo que hace a su forma y a su fondo donde, además, apenas se esconde el olvido inolvidable de un cuento perfecto». Rodrigo Fresán «Adolfo Bioy Casares fue un escritor que no se parece a nadie, de un talento sui generis». Carlos Fuentes «Me gustaría ser Adolfo Bioy Casares. Quisiera ser Bioy porque siempre lo admiré como escritor y lo estimé como persona». Julio Cortázar «En el mundo narrativo de Bioy hay siempre algo inconcluso, hilos sueltos, fatalidades que no se desencadenan, felicidades que se viven a medias. Esos misterios, que son la estructura invisible de sus obras, permiten también entender lo que podría llamarse, sin paradoja alguna, su modesta grandeza». Tomás Eloy Martínez «Brillante parábola en clave sobre el amor y la identidad personal, Dormir al sol, es uno de los libros fundamentales de la literatura argentina». Claudia Piñeiro «Diario de la guerra del cerdo es la más política de las novelas de Bioy, y también la más alegórica». Matilde Sánchez «El envidiable rigor sin énfasis de un elegante maestro distraído». Juan Sasturián «Bioy es un genio, que entendió que la buena literatura puede ser, al mismo tiempo, un gesto de inteligencia, de elegancia y de buen humor». Eduardo Sacheri «Escueta y brillante». Rafael Narbona, Revista de Libros «Una grandísima historia, una idea genial. [...] Pocas cosas nos ofrecen y regalan de una forma tan fácil abrir un objeto en casa y entrar en la mente genial de alguien que parece, como los habitantes de la isla, que no está pero sí. Bioy Casares, Borges, tantos otros, siempre están. Y estarán. Como pasa con La invención de Morel».

Title: [Spanish] - Nadie salva a las rosas Author: Youssef El Maimouni Narrator: Mireia Magallón, Anahí De La Fuente, Marc Lobato Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 38 minutes Release date: April 24, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Una trepidante novela negra, un misterioso asesinato en el que nada ni nadie es lo que parece. Rihanna, una joven trans y de Marruecos es torturada hasta la muerte por sus secuestradores en las afueras de Barcelona. Marina regresa de un viaje y descubre que su amiga y compañera de piso ha sido brutalmente asesinada. Yusuf está asimilando el nacimiento de su hija cuando recibe una llamada: la joven no acompañada a la que ha estado apoyando en los últimos diez años ha muerto y hay más: las desgracias nunca llegan solas. Los inspectores encargados de la investigación no tienen ninguna pista y no reciben colaboración de los conocidos de la víctima. Marina y Yusuf no se fían y prefieren investigar por su cuenta. La Rihanna que ellos conocen no tiene enemigos, más allá de los problemas que acumulan todos los jóvenes no acompañados que han pasado por diferentes centros de acogida para acabar en la calle sin la tutela de ninguna administración. Las piezas del puzzle están esparcidas entre Casablanca y Barcelona. Unirlas no será tan fácil, nada es sencillo cuando el destino de muchos lo deciden unos pocos. - Youssef El Maimouni (1981) nació en Ksar el Kebir. Al mes la familia se instaló en Coma-ruga. Estudió Filología Árabe y Mediación de conflictos. Su carrera profesional se ha centrado en la educación social en proyectos para jóvenes. Actualmente compagina la escritura con la dirección de un espacio juvenil en el centro de Barcelona. Desde el 2009 escribe una columna en la revista Masala. Su primera novela, Cuando los montes caminen fue la primera parte de una trilogía que aborda los conflictos históricos y sociales entre la población de las dos orillas del Estrecho de Gibraltar. Nadie salva a las rosas es su segunda novela.

Title: [German] - Noch wach? (Ungekürzte Autorenlesung) Author: Benjamin Von Stuckrad-Barre Narrator: Benjamin Von Stuckrad-Barre Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 19, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Berlin: Eine junge Frau erzählt von ihrem neuen Job bei einem großen Fernsehsender, von ihrem neuen Chef, ihrem neuen Leben. Sie wirkt glücklich, beseelt, hoffnungsfroh, es klingt gut. Zu gut? In Los Angeles geht derweil eine Welt unter. Ein Mann, der damit prahlt, als Berühmtheit könne man sich gegenüber Frauen alles herausnehmen, wird Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. Im Garten des legendären 'Chateau Marmont', diesem Nachtspielplatz verwöhnter Hollywood Kids jeden Alters, vertreibt sich eine illustre Bande auf der Flucht vor der Realität die Zeit. Auch der Erzähler ist hier - und Rose McGowan, die Schauspielerin, der man nachsagt, neuerdings irgendwie anstrengend geworden zu sein. Kurz darauf erschüttert der Weinstein-Skandal Hollywood, und Rose McGowan ist eine der ersten Frauen, die sexuelle Belästigung durch den bis dahin von ganz Hollywood hofierten Filmproduzenten öffentlich gemacht hat. Rose verschwindet, aber sie hinterlässt dem Erzähler eine kryptische Nachricht - oder ist es vielmehr ein Auftrag? Wieso wendet sie sich ausgerechnet an ihn? Von Hollywood aus verbreitet sich die #MeToo-Bewegung um die ganze Welt. Doch die alten Machtstrukturen sind widerständiger, als man in der ersten Euphorie vielleicht denken mochte. Zurück in Berlin findet sich der Erzähler nicht mehr nur als Liegestuhlbeobachter, sondern nun als Akteur mitten in einem unübersichtlichen Geschehen wieder, das ihn in einen tiefen persönlichen Konflikt stürzt. 'Noch wach?' ist ein Sittengemälde unserer Zeit, ein typischer Stuckrad-Barre. Literarisch brillant, humorvoll und kompromisslos erzählt dieser Roman von Machtstrukturen und Machtmissbrauch, Mut und menschlichen Abgründen.

Title: [Spanish] - M. Los últimos días de Europa Author: Antonio Scurati Narrator: Raúl Rojo, Javier Portugués (portu) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 9 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: LOS ÚLTIMOS DÍAS DE EUROPA EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN: HITLER, LAS LEYES RACIALES, LA GUERRA. LA GRAN NOVELA DE NUESTRO TIEMPO LLEGA A SUS AÑOS CRUCIALES Más de medio millón de ejemplares vendidos de los dos primeros volúmenes, publicados en 40 países «Scurati revisa la historia. Como Yourcenar, Gore Vidal, Sebald, Echenoz o Cercas». Javier Aparicio Maydeu, El País Con febril precisión, Antonio Scurati continúa su «novela total» reconstruyendo el delirio de un Mussolini ilusionado con poder influir en las decisiones del Führer, más solo que nunca y por fin consciente de la debilidad italiana cuando declara que ha llegado «la hora de las decisiones irrevocables». Acabada la guerra civil española, el continente se hunde en un nuevo conflicto internacional apenas veinte años después del fin del anterior. Estos son los últimos días de Europa: la culminación del autoengaño de una Italia fascista doblegada ante la infamia de las leyes raciales y el pacto con la Alemania nazi. La crítica ha dicho: «Una novela documental escrita de nuevo con una potencia narrativa arrolladora y absorbente». Alberto Ojeda, El Cultural «Apasionante y monumental. [...] Scurati, igual que sucede con Éric Vuillard, no teme enfrentarse a la historia más reciente y, siempre cuando los lectores lo consideren una novela sobre la historia y no un libro de historia, el relato se vuelve legible, agradable e induce, además, a una necesaria reflexión acerca de nuestra pasado que no deja de llamar a la puerta». Luis M. Alonso, El Periódico - Abril «Scurati arma la novela con elegancia, precisión y rigor histórico, narrando paso a paso el camino hacia la carnicería humana a la que se vio abocada la Italia fascista, una Italia que no tenía ni armamento ni soldados adiestrados, ni provisiones, ni nada para emprender guerra alguna». Javier Feito Blanco, Zenda «Resulta evidente que Antonio Scurati ha dado con la tecla para explicar de un modo ameno, y a la vez riguroso, la Historia». Miguel Ángel Villena, elDiario «Lo que nos narra pertenece al ayer, pero podría escribir el mañana». Rafael Narbona, El Cultural «Formidable e impresionante. [...] Un ejemplo brillante del poder de la literatura y de la capacidad para articular el tiempo histórico y el tiempo humano». Le Monde «En la gigantesca reconstrucción que Antonio Scurati está haciendo de Mussolini y de su régimen, este volumen me ha parecido el más apasionante. [...] Su doble registro [...] le da a la lectura una intensidad inaudita». Corrado Augias, Il Venerdì di Repubblica «Me han gustado muchísimo las novelas de Antonio Scurati sobre Mussolini». Pierre Lemaitre «Una lección histórica de antifascismo disfrazada de novela». The New York Times «M inventa un género literario nuevo capaz de hacer que la historia sea tan palpitante como la intriga de una novela. [...] Una de las empresas literarias más fascinantes y ambiciosas de las últimas décadas». Enzo Traverso, La Lettura «Una narración capaz de comunicar algo de la experiencia caótica que es la historia». Orlando Figes, autor de Los europeos «Aquí queda revelado el ADN del fascismo». La Repubblica «Tras narrar el ascenso de Mussolini con M1 y los años del régimen con M2, Scurati aborda ahora el corazón de las tinieblas de la Italia fascista».

Title: [Spanish] - Retrato de una mujer moderna Author: Manuel Vicent Narrator: Tito Asorey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 17 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: LA NOVELA DE CONCHA PIQUER UN MITO QUE DEFINIÓ TODA UNA ÉPOCA DE LA HISTORIA DE ESPAÑA. UNA MUJER QUE ROMPIÓ TODOS LOS MOLDES. POR EL RETRATISTA MÁS AGUDO Y BRILLANTE DE LA LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA ACTUAL LIBRO DEL DÍA EN LA RAZÓN «La belleza en Manuel Vicent está en la exactitud de la frase. Eso es la belleza literaria [...]. A este libro no le sobra nada ni le falta nada». Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón Una joven camina rápido sobre la nieve de las calles de Nueva York un día de invierno de los años veinte. Lleva una receta en el bolso que le permitirá adquirir en la farmacia una botella de vino para celebrar la Nochebuena con unos amigos. Estamos en plena ley seca. La joven es Concha Piquer, tiene apenas dieciocho años y lleva ya cuatro triunfando en los escenarios de Broadway, se ha visto envuelta en un homicidio y ha tenido contactos con la mafia. Llegó casi sin experiencia, sin conocer más mundo que la huerta y algún teatro de su ciudad, sin hablar otra lengua que no fuera el valenciano. Antes de volver a España y convertirse en símbolo de toda una época, deslumbra también en México y Cuba. La niña campesina regresa envuelta en glamour y dinero, con varios amantes a sus espaldas y un hijo secreto. A partir de entonces, su vida se cruza con la de escritores como Blasco Ibáñez o García Lorca, toreroscomo Antonio Márquez, políticos, boxeadores, actores y actrices... Lejos del estereotipo de la cupletista, Concha Piquer fue mucho más que eso o, para ser exactos, fue de todo menos eso. La historia de esta «mujer moderna» es también un retablo de una época de la historia de España, la de la posguerra y el franquismo. Y Manuel Vicent la recrea con una magistral mezcla de realidad y ficción, y un ingenio, una finura y una ironía sin igual en la literatura española. La crítica ha dicho: «Qué certera la mirada de cronista de Manuel Vicent». José Sacristán «Saber contar ese juego íntimo de voces, de tiempo, de cuerpos, es lo más difícil. Y él lo hace de nuevo». Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Un magnífico cronista [...] capaz de captar los detalles mínimos de personajes y objetos, y de analizar, con cuidado y sutileza, los sentimientos de las criaturas que asoman a sus textos». Ascensión Rivas, El Cultural «Más que una biografía de la Piquer. Ha conseguido traer hasta el presente un retrato sentimental de aquellos tiempos de copla y huertas; una España donde cabía todo y faltaba de todo. [...] Nuestro escritor de la memoria. Los demás son sucedáneos». Montero Glez, elDiario «Un retrato de una amazona brava, de una profesional que siempre quiso ser dueña de su destino». Jesús Fernánez Úbeda, Zenda «Luminoso y barroco. [...] La vida entera cabía en una canción de la Piquer». Nuria Azancot, El Cultural «Una novela deliciosa. Breve y vibrante, podría ser una copla, con su mezcla de lirismo y desgarro». Rafael Narbona, El Cultural «Una intérprete que encarnó como nadie los dramas y desgarros que entonaba en sus letras, tan arraigadas en la memoria sentimental de un país, y que tuvo una biografía tan aventurada e impredecible que parecía más propia de una novela o de una ópera que de la realidad». Braulio Ortiz, Granada Hoy «La novela parte de un personaje real y desmenuza la historia de una época, a través de la coplista mal encasillada en el folclore casposo del franquismo».

Title: Bored Gay Werewolf Author: Tony Santorella Narrator: Anthony Nyro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 34 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Brian, an aimless slacker, works doubles at his shift job, forgets to clean his room and lays about with his friends Nik and Darby. He's been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf. Really, he is not great at the whole werewolf thing, and his recent murderous slip-ups have caught the attention of Tyler, a Millennial were-mentor determined to take the mythological world by storm. Tyler has got a plan, and weirdly his self-help punditry actually encourages Brian to shape up and to stop accidently marking out guys who ghosted him on Grindr as potential monthly victims. But as Brian gets closer to Tyler's pack, and alienated from Nik and Darby, he realises that Tyler's expansion plans are much more nefarious than a little lupine enlightenment...

Title: [German] - Die Krume Brot (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Lukas Bärfuss Narrator: Sandra Hüller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 39 minutes Release date: May 24, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Adelina, Tochter italienischer Einwanderer, arbeitet in einer Schweizer Fabrik, als sie sich 1973 nach kurzer Ehe allein mit einem Kind wiederfindet, Emma. Ein quälender Kampf ums Überleben beginnt, bis sie einen älteren Belgier kennenlernt und in dessen Gutshof im Piemont zieht. Vieles wird nun leichter, aber ohne Liebe bleibt alles fad. Und eines Tages ist der Belgier fort, mitsamt dem Kind. Kurz darauf taucht ein Mann auf, ein Streuner, ein Brigant. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf die Suche nach Emma. Der Mann ist oft fort und kehrt zurück mit Geld, Essen und Zeitungen, in denen von Überfällen und ausgeraubten Munitionsdepots berichtet wird. Er nimmt Adelina mit in seine Mailänder Kommune, und zum ersten Mal fühlt sie sich als Teil einer Gruppe. Sie macht Schießübungen und Botengänge, geht der Polizei aus dem Weg. Das ist nicht schwierig, denn die Bullen sind beschäftigt. In dieser Zeit der Bomben und der Gewalt sucht eine Mutter ihre Tochter, lange vergeblich. Bis der Streuner meldet, er habe in dem Gutshof Licht gesehen: ein Mann sei dort, ein Mann mit einem Kind.

Title: [Spanish] - El libro del destino Author: José Gordon Narrator: Humberto Montes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 43 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: «¿Cómo leer lo que nos va a pasar? Si como en un holograma todo está escrito en cada parte, ¿existe un código que también se cifra en las configuraciones estelares? ¿Será posible leer algo que se parece al ADN en la oscuridad del cielo?» Mijael y Heny tienen ya algunos años viviendo juntos. Él es un hombre de ciencia, obstinado en buscarle una explicación a todo; ella es una talentosa estudiante de teatro que enfrenta el problema de un doble amor. Conscientes del inevitable conflicto, deciden, pese a la incredulidad de Mijael, visitar a una astróloga para que les ayude a comprender lo que está pasando. Entre viejos manuscritos y cartas celestes, Dora, crítica de teatro experta en artes adivinatorias —conocedora de los misterios del lenguaje y la poesía—, confirma sus sospechas: la ruptura es impostergable. Flota el aire la tragedia del pasado de la madre de Mijael que, paradójicamente, abre una puerta que dará un giro inesperado a sus vidas. Mijael pronto descubrirá que el destino tiene sus propias reglas.

Title: [Spanish] - Derroche Author: María Sonia Cristoff Narrator: Noelia Antúnez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: *Premio Sara Gallardo 2023* Construida sobre las ruinas del agotamiento contemporáneo y con las reglas de una ciudad utópica en la que se superponen voces y géneros, esta novela vehemente e irónica incita a la rebelión contra el dominio del éxito y el mandato productivo. Una carta sorprende a Lucrecia. Entre frases iracundas contra el trabajo y el mito del progreso Vita, su tía recién fallecida, encriptó el mapa de un tesoro enterrado en medio de La Pampa. Poco a poco, esa voz y la sucesión de acontecimientos descabellados que desencadena trastocan sus costumbres mundanas y su férrea disciplina laboral. Irónica y corrosiva, sin perder el sentido del humor ni por un instante, Cristoff revela el extractivismo vital que subyace en tantas prácticas contemporáneas. Del mail a la autobiografía, de la crónica de viajes al retrato y el telegrama, del teatro al cancionero anarquista, la novela se va armando en una superposición de personajes, formatos y géneros al modo de los números de las ferias o los circos ambulantes. Preciosamente escrita, Derroche es una brillante sátira social que homenajea a la picaresca y convoca a una fiesta de los insurrectos. Sobre Derroche: «Qué celebración más hermosa y delirante del goce, la libertad y el desparpajo dentro y fuera de la literatura. Librazo.» Alia Trabucco Zerán «El pródigo título elegido por la autora va en línea con la abundancia de recursos a los que apela en su escritura, arrancándole volumetría al plano de la página (...) Mucho más que una secuencia de hechos propia de la linealidad que pretenden los guiones cinematográficos, Derroche es, acaba siendo, un conjunto de paisajes urdidos por una relación. Particularísima. Amorosa, de un modo inquietante». Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo, Revista Ñ «MSC se reinventa cada vez. (...) Divertida y profunda». Flavia Pittella «Con ideas muy corrosivas sobre el universo del trabajo, sobre las costumbres de un mundo que demanda todo el tiempo y no hace más que desgastar a quienes lo habitan, la autora ofrece un texto potente, lleno de texturas, de géneros, de pequeñas y grandes escenas. Es tan diversa y tan precisa la paleta que el derroche que propone el título del libro, antes que un despilfarro, está planteado como una ofrenda textual, una escritura que es puro vigor». Agustina Larrea, elDiarioar «2022 ya tiene la mejor novela del año, Derroche». Julián Lopez «Derroche es una caja de sorpresas. Punzante, irreverente, Cristoff se ríe en la cara de los géneros y de nuestra laboriosidad». Cynthia Rimsky «Esta novela, que avanza en zigzag y convierte el movimiento en signo, es rica en ardides para amplificar hasta el infinito una intriga en permanente tensión, que sin dejar de ser la misma se renueva en cada giro de la trama. Derroche es deslumbrante, pero no pirotécnica. Encrespada, pero jamás atronadora. Una cadencia en constante actividad». Jorge Consiglio «Tres son los grandes temas cristoffianos: la fuga o la renuncia, las ganas, el tiempo del ser. Y ese entrecruce tan suyo entre cartografía, filosofía, infancia, antropología, archivo, dramaturgia, periodismo, caminata, erudición, fragmento, collage, encuentra en Derroche una organización fascinante». Katya Adaui «En Derroche la narración opera por expansión, como un nodo en el que desembocan discursos de diferentestipos y características, en un increscendo que, partiendo de una escritura epistolar sobria y, casi, sin atributos, termina en una especie de descontrol controlado, en la que el anarquismo no es solo el tema sobre el que gira la segunda mitad de la novela, sino el modo en que las frases se encadenan: desafiando las jerarquías, aboliendo toda autoridad, volviendo a la cita injerto subversivo y no mandato a cumplir. El título mismo encierra ya una dimensión programática, y un gesto político». Damián Tabarovsky, Perfil «Su talento vuelve a desbordar inteligencia, sentido del humor y exactitud estética.» Emiliano Monge, El País (España) María Sonia Cristoff Thu, 04 May 2023 12:30:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682293 thebookvoice.com 5:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/682293]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Y ese entrecruce tan suyo entre cartografía, filosofía, infancia, antropología, archivo, dramaturgia, periodismo, caminata, erudición, fragmento, collage, encuentra en Derroche una organización fascinante». Katya Adaui «En Derroche la narración opera por expansión, como un nodo en el que desembocan discursos de diferentestipos y características, en un increscendo que, partiendo de una escritura epistolar sobria y, casi, sin atributos, termina en una especie de descontrol controlado, en la que el anarquismo no es solo el tema sobre el que gira la segunda mitad de la novela, sino el modo en que las frases se encadenan: desafiando las jerarquías, aboliendo toda autoridad, volviendo a la cita injerto subversivo y no mandato a cumplir. El título mismo encierra ya una dimensión programática, y un gesto político».

Title: [Spanish] - Derroche Author: María Sonia Cristoff Narrator: Noelia Antúnez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: *Premio Sara Gallardo 2023* Construida sobre las ruinas del agotamiento contemporáneo y con las reglas de una ciudad utópica en la que se superponen voces y géneros, esta novela vehemente e irónica incita a la rebelión contra el dominio del éxito y el mandato productivo. Una carta sorprende a Lucrecia. Entre frases iracundas contra el trabajo y el mito del progreso Vita, su tía recién fallecida, encriptó el mapa de un tesoro enterrado en medio de La Pampa. Poco a poco, esa voz y la sucesión de acontecimientos descabellados que desencadena trastocan sus costumbres mundanas y su férrea disciplina laboral. Irónica y corrosiva, sin perder el sentido del humor ni por un instante, Cristoff revela el extractivismo vital que subyace en tantas prácticas contemporáneas. Del mail a la autobiografía, de la crónica de viajes al retrato y el telegrama, del teatro al cancionero anarquista, la novela se va armando en una superposición de personajes, formatos y géneros al modo de los números de las ferias o los circos ambulantes. Preciosamente escrita, Derroche es una brillante sátira social que homenajea a la picaresca y convoca a una fiesta de los insurrectos. Sobre Derroche: «Qué celebración más hermosa y delirante del goce, la libertad y el desparpajo dentro y fuera de la literatura. Librazo.» Alia Trabucco Zerán «El pródigo título elegido por la autora va en línea con la abundancia de recursos a los que apela en su escritura, arrancándole volumetría al plano de la página (...) Mucho más que una secuencia de hechos propia de la linealidad que pretenden los guiones cinematográficos, Derroche es, acaba siendo, un conjunto de paisajes urdidos por una relación. Particularísima. Amorosa, de un modo inquietante». Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo, Revista Ñ «MSC se reinventa cada vez. (...) Divertida y profunda». Flavia Pittella «Con ideas muy corrosivas sobre el universo del trabajo, sobre las costumbres de un mundo que demanda todo el tiempo y no hace más que desgastar a quienes lo habitan, la autora ofrece un texto potente, lleno de texturas, de géneros, de pequeñas y grandes escenas. Es tan diversa y tan precisa la paleta que el derroche que propone el título del libro, antes que un despilfarro, está planteado como una ofrenda textual, una escritura que es puro vigor». Agustina Larrea, elDiarioar «2022 ya tiene la mejor novela del año, Derroche». Julián Lopez «Derroche es una caja de sorpresas. Punzante, irreverente, Cristoff se ríe en la cara de los géneros y de nuestra laboriosidad». Cynthia Rimsky «Esta novela, que avanza en zigzag y convierte el movimiento en signo, es rica en ardides para amplificar hasta el infinito una intriga en permanente tensión, que sin dejar de ser la misma se renueva en cada giro de la trama. Derroche es deslumbrante, pero no pirotécnica. Encrespada, pero jamás atronadora. Una cadencia en constante actividad». Jorge Consiglio «Tres son los grandes temas cristoffianos: la fuga o la renuncia, las ganas, el tiempo del ser.

Title: Family Family: A Novel Author: Laurie Frankel Narrator: Patti Murin, Laurie Frankel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 30 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.25 of Total 4 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: This program includes an author's note read by the author and a conversation between the author and Audie Award–winning narrator Patti Murin. 'Murin guarantees Frankel’s story is impeccably, convincingly, utterly heard. A creative process-illuminating author/narrator 'geeking out' interview provides a delightful aural bonus.'—Booklist ​“Not all stories of adoption are stories of pain and regret. Not even most of them. Why don’t we ever get that movie?” India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research/line memorization/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero. Her new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though. She wants everyone to know there’s more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do — she tells a journalist the truth: it’s a bad movie. Soon she’s at the center of a media storm, battling accusations from the press and the paparazzi, from protesters on the right and advocates on the left. Her twin ten-year-olds know they need help – and who better to call than family? But that’s where it gets really messy because India’s not just an adoptive mother… The one thing she knows for sure is what makes a family isn’t blood. And it isn’t love. No matter how they’re formed, the truth about family is this: it's complicated. A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

You Only Call When You're in Trouble is a book to cherish. A book that loves you back. What more could you want, my gosh? Read it!” —Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less Is Lost Is it ever okay to stop caring for others and start living for yourself? After a lifetime of taking care of his impossible but irresistible sister and his cherished niece, Tom is ready to put himself first. An architect specializing in tiny houses, he finally has an opportunity to build his masterpiece—“his last shot at leaving a footprint on the dying planet.” Assuming, that is, he can stick to his resolution to keep the demands of his needy family at bay. Naturally, that’s when his phone rings. His niece, Cecily—the real love of Tom’s life, as his boyfriend reminded him when moving out—is embroiled in a Title IX investigation at the college where she teaches that threatens her career and relationship. And after decades of lying, his sister wants him to help her tell Cecily the real identity of her father. Tom does what he’s always done—answers the call.
