Title: Dayswork: A Novel Author: Jennifer Habel, Chris Bachelder Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A startlingly original, incantatory novel about marriage, mortality, and making art. In the endless days of the pandemic, a woman spends her time sorting fact from fiction in the life and work of Herman Melville. As she delves into Melville's impulsive purchase of a Massachusetts farmhouse, his fevered revision of Moby-Dick there, his intense friendship with neighbor Nathaniel Hawthorne, and his troubled and troubling marriage to Elizabeth Shaw, she becomes increasingly obsessed by what his devotion to his art reveals about cost, worth, and debt. Her preoccupation both deepens and expands, and her days' work extends outward to an orbiting cast of Melvillean questers and fanatics, as well as to biographers and writers—among them Elizabeth Hardwick and Robert Lowell—whose lives resonate with Melville's. As she pulls these distant figures close, her quarantine quest ultimately becomes a midlife reckoning with her own marriage and ambition. Absorbing, charming, and intimate, Dayswork considers the blurry lines between life and literature, the slippage between what happens and what gets recorded, and the ways we locate ourselves in the lives of others. In wry, epigrammatic prose, Chris Bachelder and Jennifer Habel have crafted an exquisite and daring novel.

Title: Light and Legacies: Stories of Black Girlhood and Liberation Author: Janaka Bowman Lewis Narrator: Janaka Bowman Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 22 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: An engaging examination of Black Girl Magic and its significance in American literature In Light and Legacies, author Janaka Bowman Lewis examines Black girlhood in American literature from the mid-twentieth century to the present. The representation of Black girlhood in contemporary literature has long remained underexplored. Through this literary history of 'Black Girl Magic,' Lewis offers one of the first studies in this rapidly growing field of study. Light and Legacies poignantly showcases the activist dimensions of creative literature through work by women writers such as Toni Morrison and Toni Cade. As vectors of protest, these stories reflect historical events while also creating an enduring space of liberation and expression. The book provides didactic and reflective portrayals of the Black experience—an experience that has long been misunderstood. In a work both enlightening and personal, Lewis brilliantly weaves accounts of her own journey together with the liberating stories that shaped her and so many others.

Title: Hildasay to Home: How I Found a Family by Walking the UK's Coastline Author: Christian Lewis Narrator: Christian Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 28, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Read by the author, Christian Lewis. Walking saved his life. Now it will help find him a family. In the follow-up to his Sunday Times bestselling Finding Hildasay, Christian Lewis takes his next steps. Since his time on Hildasay, Chris’ adventure has only gotten wilder. No one was more surprised than Chris when, in November 2020, he had an unlikely (seemingly destined) encounter with fellow adventurer Kate. The two turned out to be kindred spirits and – even more astonishingly – Kate made the bold decision to join Chris on the walk of a lifetime. Day in, day out, as they trekked the coastline down from Scotland together, their relationship grew, and soon the couple were thrown in at the deep end when their first child – baby Magnus – arrived. But, away from Scotland, Chris’ struggles with mental health returned. The solitude of Hildasay seemed far away, and he unravelled once again. Through injuries and setbacks, with Jet the dog ageing and baby Magnus growing by the day, the adventurous family of four had to find their feet and come together to complete this epic challenge. They’ve navigated the east coast of Scotland, through Yorkshire and East Anglia, and struggled on to the Jurassic Coast where Chris slowly came back into himself. In Hildasay to Home Chris finally crosses the finish line back in Swansea with almost half a million pounds raised. He reflects beautifully on all that he’s learned and the family he’s found for himself along the way.

Title: [French] - Hamlet Author: William Shakespeare Narrator: Jérôme Carrette Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 2 minutes Release date: August 22, 2022 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Revenu au royaume du Danemark pour assister aux funérailles de son père, Hamlet découvre avec horreur que sa mère s’est remariée à son oncle Claudius, qui s’est aussitôt attribué la couronne vouée à l’héritier du défunt. Ecrite entre 1599 et 1601, la pièce joue avec les codes du genre populaire en Angleterre élisabéthaine qu’est la tragédie de vengeance. Davantage homme de verbe et de pensée qu’homme d’action, le héros éponyme est torturé par son devoir de rendre justice, ainsi que par des doutes philosophiques vertigineux qui donnent lieu aux tirades les plus puissantes de la pièce : peut-on vraiment croire ce que nous rapportent nos sens? Peut-on prévoir les conséquences de nos actes? Notre finitude rend-elle l’existence absurde? Tragédie de la condition humaine et référence incontournable, Hamlet est considéré comme l’une des œuvres les plus importantes de la littérature et a fait l’objet d’innombrables citations, adaptations et représentations dans le monde. La superbe traduction du second quarto (1604), réalisée par François-Victor Hugo, en restitue toute la force lyrique.

Il s'agit d'examiner la valeur politique et morale de la rhétorique. Deux thèses s'affrontent : celle de Gorgias, sophiste qui enseigne la rhétorique et considère que « l'art de bien parler » est le meilleur de tous les arts exercés par l'homme, contre celle de Socrate, qui dénonce la sophistique comme un art du mensonge. Selon Socrate, la rhétorique n'est pas un art, mais une 'contrefaçon', qui cherche à gagner l'âme de l'auditeur sans l'instruire ni la corriger.

When she’s not working with children in the crowded tenements in Hell’s Kitchen, Frances throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich Village, befriending an eclectic group of politicians, artists, and activists, including the millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, the flirtatious budding author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson, with whom she falls deeply in love. But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. She thinks he’s a rich, arrogant dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous name. He thinks she’s a priggish bluestocking and insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will carry them both to the White House. Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing down the Great Depression as FDR’s most trusted lieutenant—even as she struggles to balance the demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood. And when vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies threaten to derail her ambitions, she must decide what she’s willing to do—and what she’s willing to sacrifice—to save a nation.

Title: What the Mountains Remember Author: Joy Callaway Narrator: Brittany Pressley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 16 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: 'Joy Callaway weaves a dramatic, heartfelt story of self-discovery and a hard-won love against the stunning backdrop the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.'' --Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times bestselling author of Time is a River At this wondrous resort, secrets can easily be hidden in plain sight when the eye is trained on beauty. April 1913--Belle Newbold hasn't seen mountains for seven years--since her father died in a mining accident and her mother married oil and gas magnate, Shipley Newbold. But when her stepfather's business acquaintance, Henry Ford, invites the family on one of his famous Vagabonds camping tours, she is forced to face the hills once again--primarily in order to reunite with her future fiancé, owner of the land the Vagabonds are using for their campsite, a man she's only met once before. It is a veritable arranged marriage, but she prefers it that way. Belle isn't interested in love. She only wants a simple life--a family of her own and the stability of a wealthy man's pockets. That's what Worth Delafield has promised to give her and it's worth facing the mountains again, the reminder of the past, and her poverty, to secure her future. But when the Vagabonds group is invited to tour the unfinished Grove Park Inn and Belle is unexpectedly thrust into a role researching and writing about the building of the inn--a construction the locals are calling The Eighth Wonder of the World--she quickly realizes that these mountains are no different from the ones she once called home. As Belle peels back the facade of Grove Park Inn, of Worth, of the society she's come to claim as her own, and the truth of her heart, she begins to see that perhaps her part in Grove Park's story isn't a coincidence after all. Perhaps it is only by watching a wonder rise from ordinary hands and mountain stone that she can finally find the strength to piece together the long-destroyed path toward who she was meant to be. International bestselling author Joy Callaway returns with a story of the ordinary people behind extraordinary beauty--and the question of who gets to tell their stories. Praise for What the Mountains Remember: 'Callaway is back with another insightful rendering of a place and time in history, bringing her trademark attention to detail, warmth, and heart to a story centered around one of the nation's most beautiful and fabled hotels, the Grove Park Inn in Asheville NC.'?--Marybeth Mayhew Whalen, author of ten novels and cofounder of The Book Tide 'A stunning portrayal of the building of the Grove Park Inn that reveals not only its grandeur, but also the struggles of the laborers tasked with its construction, Joy Callaway brings the famed Vagabonds to life with immaculate research and rich details in this intriguing, elegantly written historical fiction that readers are going to love!' --Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Keeper of Hidden Books - Perfect for fans of The Only Woman in the Room and A Well-Behaved Woman - Stand-alone novel Joy Callaway Tue, 02 Apr 2024 07:43:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/696726 thebookvoice.com 12:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/696726]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Pondré mi oído en la piedra hasta que hable Author: William Ospina Narrator: Randolfo Barrionuevo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 17 minutes Release date: July 1, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Cómo no fascinarse con un país donde los cangrejos tenían el color de los cielos y todo era tan nuevo como si en cada día estuviera la creación del mundo. Humboldt es otro de los nombres del mundo, y es esencialmente inabarcable. 'Se expuso al pasmo de las lunas y a la insolación en los desiertos de salitre, a vendavales y tormentas eléctricas, vivió aguaceros interminables bajo las enramadas de la selva, probó la electricidad de los gimnotos y succionó venenos de serpiente, estuvo a punto de ahogarse en los raudales del Orinoco y en las tormentas de Barú, sintió el abismo desde el lomo de las mulas en los desfiladeros del Quindío, afrontó los escorpiones del Cauca, las ranas venenosas de Dagua, las noches de mosquitos del Magdalena, y no solo volvió más fuerte a Europa, sino que disfrutó por décadas de una salud tan envidiable, que hubo quien pensó que aquel baño de peligros lo había inmunizado contra la muerte'. En esta apasionante novela, con una curiosidad y una maestría comparables a las de su protagonista, William Ospina le sigue el rastro al Humboldt que viajó por nuestras tierras: 'Seres así muy posiblemente marcan el fin de una época y el inicio de otra, y Humboldt configura no solo una aventura científica sino el comienzo de una mitología que apenas adivinamos'. Reseñas: «El resultado es un libro magnífico y abismal. La noción de sugerencia se expande en una literatura que consigue transmitir la sensación de lo inabarcable majestuoso, lo más parecido a la definición kantiana de lo sublime. El talento poliédrico de William Ospina, multipremiado tanto en la poesía como en el ensayo y la narrativa, se revela el perfecto vehículo para traernos a la actualidad la ambición totalizante que representa Humboldt». Ángel Peña, The Objective «Obra con mimbres de brillante novela autobiográfica». Anna María Iglesia, El Mundo «La sensibilidad, qué otra cosa, recorre esta novela que ha ideado William Ospina en la que todo el talento del autor está puesto en función de recorrer esa cualidad del alma del protagonista». Ricardo Martínez Llorca, Zenda «Un mosaico que recrea la Ilustración de la vieja Europa, sus conflictos políticos y la formación de los individuos de todo lo presente en la naturaleza. Un compromiso con el planeta y una reflexión sobre la idoneidad de la conquista, observados desde una perspectiva muy actual». Ascensión Rivas, El Cultural Sobre el autor y su obra se ha dicho: «William Ospina es un escritor innato. Sus facultades se vislumbran cada vez que uno de sus libros es publicado». Jaime Andrés Benavides, Altus «Una pluma cargada de poesía y magia». Carlos Restrepo, El Tiempo «William Ospina jamás ha comprendido una obra sin que fuera una amalgama de verdad, belleza, inteligencia y profundidad».

Title: Someone Always Nearby: A Novel of Maria Chabot and Georgia O’Keeffe Author: Susan Wittig Albert Narrator: Maria Mccann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In 1940, art-world icon Georgia O'Keeffe bought a house in a mountain-rimmed New Mexico desert, planning to live there for six months every year. To manage her remote household while she paints, O'Keeffe invited Maria Chabot—a young and naïve would-be writer—to join her. Their tempestuous relationship endured throughout the chaotic years of WW2, the death of Georgia's domineering, philandering husband (famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz), and Maria's design and building of a remarkable adobe house and studio for the artist in the native village of Abiquiu—a generous gift from an exceptional friend. An evocative story that explores the dimensions of friendship and the debts we incur to those who make our lives easier, Someone Always Nearby is based on research into a massive collection of over 700 letters, documents, media reports, and historical accounts. Listeners will be fascinated by this intimate, revealing portrait of the artist's daily life during her first decade at her New Mexico ranch—a mysterious, enigmatic O'Keeffe that only one woman ever fully knew. A bonus guide is available as a free, printable pdf at SusanAlbert.com/Someone-Always-Nearby. It includes the story behind the story: research, sources, hyperlinked resources, curated extras, author commentary, questions, and discussion topics.

Title: You Get What You Pay For: Essays Author: Morgan Parker Narrator: Morgan Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In her “witty and searing” first essay collection, award-winning poet Morgan Parker examines “the cultural legacy of Black womanhood and the meaning of finding ‘well-being’ in a world that wasn’t built for you” (Vogue). “Riveting and deeply personal . . . filled with poignant insights.”—Cosmopolitan A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Electric Lit, Chicago Public Library, Kirkus Reviews Dubbed a voice of her generation, poet and writer Morgan Parker has spent much of her adulthood in therapy, trying to square the resonance of her writing with the alienation she feels in nearly every aspect of life, from her lifelong singleness to a battle with depression. She traces this loneliness to an inability to feel truly safe with others and a historic hyperawareness stemming from the effects of slavery. In a collection of essays as intimate as being in the room with Parker and her therapist, Parker examines America’s cultural history and relationship to Black Americans through the ages. She touches on such topics as the ubiquity of beauty standards that exclude Black women, the implications of Bill Cosby’s fall from grace in a culture predicated on acceptance through respectability, and the pitfalls of visibility as seen through the mischaracterizations of Serena Williams as alternately iconic and too ambitious. With piercing wit and incisive observations, You Get What You Pay For is ultimately a portal into a deeper examination of racial consciousness and its effects on mental well-being in America today. Weaving unflinching criticism with intimate anecdotes, this devastating memoir-in-essays paints a portrait of one Black woman’s psyche—and of the writer’s search to both tell the truth and deconstruct it.

Title: Nowhere, Exactly: On Identity and Belonging Author: M.G. Vassanji Narrator: Raoul Bhaneja Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: From one of Canada's most celebrated writers, two-time Giller Prize winner M.G. Vassanji, comes a thoughtful meditation on what it means to belong in the world. Home is never a single place, entirely and unequivocally. It is contingent. The abstract 'nowhere,' then, is the true home. M.G. Vassanji has been exploring the immigrant experience for over three decades, drawing deeply on his own transnational upbringing and intimate understanding of the unique challenges and perspectives born from leaving one's home to resettle in a new land. The question of identity, of how to configure and see oneself within this new land, is one such challenge faced. But Vassanji suggests that a more fundamental and slippery endeavour than establishing one's identity is how, if ever, we can establish a sense of belonging. Can we ever truly belong in this new home? Did we ever truly belong in the home we left? Where exactly do we belong? For many, the answer is nowhere exactly.  Combining brilliant prose, thoughtful, candid observation, and a lifetime of exploring how we as individuals are shaped by the places and communities in which we live and the history that haunts them, Nowhere, Exactly examines with exquisite sensitivity the space between identity and belonging, the immigrant experience of both loss and gain, and the weight of memory and nostalgia, guilt and hope felt by so many of those who leave their homes in search of new ones.

Title: People Who Lunch: On Work, Leisure, and Loose Living Author: Sally Olds Narrator: Christine Lakin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 20 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A riveting investigation of the utopian experiments attempting to resist the unrelenting demands of late-stage capitalism—only to end up living comfortably alongside it What do post‑work politics, the cult of crypto, clubbing, and polyamory have in common? All have spawned thriving subcultures united in their rejection of the patriarchal capitalist order: from wage labor, to the reign of the shareholder class over capital markets, to romantic relationships that feel like contractual arrangements to be negotiated, and more. People Who Lunch is about hating work and needing to work, intimacy and technology, labor and leisure, and the challenge of living our ideals in a less than ideal world. In it, Sally Olds brings her “unsparing scrutiny to bear…as she grapples with the sense of entrapment in the machinery of capitalism and remorseless logic of commodification” (ABC Arts). In one essay, Olds’s brief flirtation with post-monogamy forces her to confront the emotional prison of the “open relationship”; in another, a multi-hour viewing of a critically acclaimed performance art piece highlights how even the highest forms of culture exist to convert pleasure into capital. In the end, her forays into these colorful worlds betray a deep irony: escaping a system built on the exchange of wage labor is, quite simply, a lot of work.

Title: Can't We Be Friends: A Novel of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe Author: Eliza Knight, Denny S. Bryce Narrator: Caroline Hewitt, Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 15 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 3 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Award-winning author Denny S. Bryce and USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight collaborate on a brilliant novel that uncovers the boundary-breaking, genuine friendship between Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, and iconic movie star Marilyn Monroe.  One woman was recognized as the premiere singer of her era with perfect pitch and tireless ambition. One woman was the most glamorous star in Hollywood, a sex symbol who took the world by storm. And their friendship was fast and firm… 1952: Ella Fitzgerald is a renowned jazz singer whose only roadblock to longevity is society’s attitude toward women and race. Marilyn Monroe’s star is rising despite ongoing battles with movie studio bigwigs and boyfriends. When she needs help with her singing, she wants only the best—and the best is the brilliant Ella Fitzgerald. But Ella isn’t a singing teacher and declines—then the two women meet, and to everyone’s surprise but their own, they become fast friends. On the surface, what could they have in common? Yet each was underestimated by the men in their lives—husbands, managers, hangers-on. And both were determined to gain. Each fought for professional independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to surrender control to those same men. This novel reveals and celebrates their surprising bond over a decade and serves as a poignant reminder of how true friendship can cross differences to bolster and sustain us through haunting heartbreak and wild success.

Yet each was underestimated by the men in their lives—husbands, managers, hangers-on. And both were determined to gain. Each fought for professional independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to surrender control to those same men. This novel reveals and celebrates their surprising bond over a decade and serves as a poignant reminder of how true friendship can cross differences to bolster and sustain us through haunting heartbreak and wild success. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692659 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692659]]> to listen full audiobooks.

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: Essays & Anthologies 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: Finding Margaret Fuller: A Novel Author: Allison Pataki Narrator: Barrie Kreinik Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 22 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A “sweeping” (Entertainment Weekly) novel of America’s forgotten leading lady, the central figure of a movement that defined a nation—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post “Soul-stirring . . . brings to life the epic and inspiring story of an incredible woman who should never be forgotten.”—Kristin Harmel, author of The Paris Daughter In the company of Ralph Waldo Emerson and his circle of enlightened friends, the young, beautiful, and brilliant Margaret Fuller becomes “the radiant genius and fiery heart” of the Transcendentalists. She inspires Louisa May Alcott, sparks Nathaniel Hawthorne to create Hester Prynne, and forms close bonds with Henry David Thoreau and Emerson himself. However, Margaret’s soul yearns for more than poetry and drama, leading her on a journey of adventure and self-discovery. From hosting a women-only literary salon in Boston to becoming the first woman permitted entry to Harvard’s library, Margaret defies societal conventions as an activist for women’s rights and a champion for humanity. On the gritty New York streets, she spars with Edgar Allan Poe and reports on the work of Frederick Douglass. And when offered an assignment in Europe by editor Horace Greeley, Margaret becomes the first female foreign news correspondent, mingling with the likes of Frédéric Chopin, William Wordsworth, and George Sand. In Rome, she embarks on a passionate love affair with a Roman count, causing an international scandal. As a mother and a countess, Margaret enters a new fight for Italy’s unification. With a star-studded cast and an epic sweep of historical events, this is a story of an inspiring trailblazer, a woman who loved big and lived even bigger—a fierce adventurer who transcended the rigid roles ascribed to women and changed history for millions, all on her own terms.

A memoir that opens into the world, with brilliance, courage, and elegant prose.... This is a book to read, read again, and remember.”—Imani Perry, New York Times bestselling author of the National Book Award winner South to America Poet and journalist Shayla Lawson follows their National Book Critics Circle finalist This Is Major with these daring and exquisitely crafted essays, where Lawson journeys across the globe, finds beauty in tumultuous times, and powerfully disrupts the constraints of race, gender, and disability. One of Esquire's Best Memoirs of 2024 Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by Elle, Them, Book Riot, LitHub, Stylecaster, and Chicago Review of Books In their new book, Shayla Lawson reveals how traveling can itself be a political act, when it can be a dangerous world to be Black, femme, nonbinary, and disabled. With their signature prose, at turns bold, muscular, and luminous, Shayla Lawson travels the world to explore deeper meanings held within love, time, and the self. Through encounters with a gorgeous gondolier in Venice, an ex-husband in the Netherlands, and a lost love on New Year’s Eve in Mexico City, Lawson’s travels bring unexpected wisdom about life in and out of love. They learn the strength of friendships and the dangers of beauty during a narrow escape in Egypt. They examine Blackness in post-dictatorship Zimbabwe, then take us on a secretive tour of Black freedom movements in Portugal. Through a deeply insightful journey, Lawson leads readers from a castle in France to a hula hoop competition in Jamaica to a traditional theater in Tokyo to a Prince concert in Minnesota and, finally, to finding liberation on a beach in Bermuda, exploring each location—and their deepest emotions—to the fullest. In the end, they discover how the trials of marriage, grief, and missed connections can lead to self-transformation and unimagined new freedoms.

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: Essays & Anthologies 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.

Title: Fat Time and Other Stories Author: Jeffery Renard Allen Narrator: Diontae Black Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 31 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In Fat Time and Other Stories, Jimi Hendrix, Francis Bacon, the boxer Jack Johnson, Miles Davis, and a space-age Muhammad Ali find themselves in the otherworldly hands of Jeffery Renard Allen, reimagined and transformed to bring us news of America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Along with them are characters of Allen's invention: two teenagers in an unnamed big city who stumble through a down-low relationship; an African preacher who visits a Christian religious retreat to speak on the evils of fornication in an Italian villa imported to America by Abraham Lincoln; and an albino revolutionary who struggles with leading his people into conflict. The two strands in this brilliant story collection—speculative history and tender, painful depictions of Black life in urban America—are joined by African notions of circular time in which past, present, and future exist all at once. Here the natural and supernatural, the sacred and the profane, the real and fantastical, destruction and creation are held in delicate and tense balance. Allen's work has been said to extend the tradition of Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Henry Roth, and Ishmael Reed, but he is blazing his own path through American literature. Fat Time and Other Stories brilliantly shows the range and depth of his imagination.

David Le Breton mezcla en Elogio del caminar a Pierre Sansot y a Patrick Leigh Fermor, pero también hace que Bashô y Stevenson dialoguen sin preocuparse por el rigor histórico, pues el propósito de este exquisito libro no radica ahí, se trata solamente de caminar juntos, de intercambiar impresiones, como si estuviéramos en torno a una mesa en un albergue al borde del camino, por la tarde, cuando el cansancio y el vino nos hacen hablar.… 'Un emocionante breviario sobre una manera de estar y comportarse en el mundo. Un catecismo laico para caminar, para no dejar nunca de pensar en medio de este mundo ruidoso y automatizado'. César A. Molina, ABC Cultural 'Delicioso tratado de lo que sucede cuando a un pie le sigue el otro, y al otro le sigue una idea, y a la idea, un pensamiento, y al pensamiento, una reflexión'.

Title: Tiger Work Author: Ben Okri Narrator: Ashley Zhangazha Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 29 minutes Release date: July 6, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Inspired by environmental activism, Tiger Work blends fiction, essay and poetry to make a powerful and very personal appeal for change. If we continue to live as we do now, Ben Okri argues in this evocative collection, there will be no world left for us to fix. He imagines messages, sent to us from beyond the end, from those who saw it coming – from Africa, Europe, the Americas and the rest of the world – exhorting us to change now. This is a collection comprising two poems and six prose pieces – three short stories, an essay, a letter, and an interview. It has Ben's classic blend of storytelling, fantasy and magic. Praise for the author: 'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three – literature, culture and vision – are profoundly interwoven' ALI SMITH 'Where fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace and uncommon power' MARLON JAMES on The Freedom Artist 'Okri's rhythmic, folk tale-like prose is beguiling.' SUNDAY TIMES on The Freedom Artist 'Okri's otherworldly literary approach has produced masterpieces.'

Title: [Spanish] - El loro de Flaubert Author: Julian Barnes Narrator: Pablo Adán Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 1 minute Release date: June 14, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Un despliegue de gran audacia técnica y elegante virtuosismo, al servicio de una amenísima trama en la que se alterna la ficción con hechos reales muy imaginativamente ordenados. Un libro que ha tenido un extraordinario éxito, tanto en Inglaterra como en Estados Unidos, y no sólo de crítica, sino también de ventas, lo cual resulta algo insólito teniendo en cuenta su carácter descaradamente literario. Esta novela no trata sólo del loro que aparecía en Un coeur simple, sino también de ferrocarriles y de osos; de Francia y de Inglaterra; de la vida y del arte; del sexo y de la muerte; de George Sand y de Louise Colet; de los (odiados) estudiosos de la obra de Flaubert y de las virtudes del lector «aficionado». Y todo ello de la pluma de un enigmático narrador, el doctor Braithwaite (un apasionado de Flaubert que llega a escribir su propio sottisier basado en el Dictionnaire des idées reçues), cuya vida y secretos nos son progresivamente desvelados. El loro de Flaubert ha provocado un auténtico alud de críticas entusiastas. Ante el embarras du choix nos limitamos a reproducir los comentarios de una serie de escritores lo suficientemente conocidos como para no precisar mayores explicaciones: «Un logro deslumbrante. Tan notablemente inventivo como audaz» (Walter Abish). «Delicioso y enriquecedor. ¡Un libro para irse con él de parranda!» (Joseph Heller) «Una novela intrincadamente deliciosa» (Graham Greene). «Alimento inacabable para la mente, hermosamente escrito. Un tour de force» (Germaine Greer). «Una joya: una novela literaria que no se avergüenza de serlo y tampoco de ser legible y extraordinariamente entretenida. ¡Bravo!» (John Irving) «El loro de Flaubert, c'est moi!» (Fran Lebowitz).

Title: Human Sacrifices Author: María Fernanda Ampuero Narrator: Raquel Beattie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 21 minutes Release date: August 8, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies 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: We Are All Armenian: Voices from the Diaspora Author: Aram Mrjoian Narrator: Mw Cartozian Wilson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 11 minutes Release date: December 5, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A collection of essays about Armenian identity and belonging in the diaspora. In the century since the Armenian Genocide, Armenian survivors and their descendants have written of a vast range of experiences using storytelling and activism, two important aspects of Armenian culture. Wrestling with questions of home and self, diasporan Armenian writers bear the burden of repeatedly telling their history, as it remains widely erased and obfuscated. Telling this history requires a tangled balance of contextualizing the past and reporting on the present, of respecting a culture even while feeling lost within it. We Are All Armenian brings together established and emerging Armenian authors to reflect on the complications of Armenian ethnic identity today. These personal essays elevate diasporic voices that have been historically silenced inside and outside of their communities, including queer, multiracial, and multiethnic writers. The eighteen contributors to this contemporary anthology explore issues of displacement, assimilation, inheritance, and broader definitions of home. Through engaging creative nonfiction, many of them question what it is to be Armenian enough inside an often unacknowledged community.

Title: White Rat: Short Stories Author: Gayl Jones Narrator: Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 18 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The acclaimed author’s first collection of stories, reissued to coincide with the paperback publication of her second and latest, Butter “Gayl Jones’s work represents a watershed in American literature. From a literary standpoint, her form is impeccable . . . and as a Black woman writer, her truth-telling, filled with beauty, tragedy, humor, and incisiveness, is unmatched.”—Imani Perry Gayl Jones has been described as one of the great literary writers of the 20th century and was recently a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. This collection of short fiction was her third book, originally edited and published by Toni Morrison in 1977, and is reissued now alongside her second collection, Butter, in paperback for the first time. The collection contains 12 provocative tales that explore the emotional and mental terrain of a diverse cast of characters, from the innocent to the insane. In each, Jones displays her unflinching ability to dive into the most treacherous of psyches and circumstances: the title story examines the identity and relationship conundrums of a Black man who can pass for white, earning him the name “White Rat” as an infant; “The Women” follows a girl whose mother brings a line of female lovers to live in their home; “Jevata” details 18-year-old Freddy’s relationship with the 50-year-old title character; “The Coke Factory” tracks the thoughts of a mentally-handicapped adolescent abandoned by his mother; and “Asylum” focuses on a woman having a nervous breakdown, trying to protect her dignity and her private parts as she enters an institution. In uncompromising prose, and dialect that veers from northern, educated tongues to down-home southern colloquialisms, Jones illuminates lives that society ignores, moving them to center stage.

Title: [Spanish] - Siete ensayos sobre la peste Author: Carlos Gamerro Narrator: Tomás Cortés Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 25, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: La primera historia cultural de la peste: un recorrido erudito y reflexivo por epidemias y pandemias en la literatura y las artes, de la mano de Carlos Gamerro, uno de los novelistas y ensayistas más prestigiosos de la actualidad. Uno de los propósitos de estos ensayos sobre la peste es entendernos mejor: la vivencia de las epidemias y pandemias acompañó a la humanidad desde siempre; conocer su expresión en la literatura y las artes sirve para tener una imagen más acabada de nosotros mismos. El recorrido por la historia de las epidemias y pandemias en la literatura y las artes -desde la Ilíada hasta las películas de muertos vivos- que Carlos Gamerro propone en este libro interpela persistente nuestros tiempo y experiencia contemporáneos. Aquí se exploran orígenes e ideas, fantasías y decisiones políticas derivadas de la consideración de la peste como castigo divino, daño de brujas, guerra o conspiración. Al mismo tiempo se releen las condiciones de posibilidad del surgimiento del Diario del año de la peste de Daniel Defoe, la influencia de la costumbre de usar a la peste como metáfora de otras calamidades, como la guerra y la ocupación en La peste de Albert Camus, o los goces prohibidos que habilita en el Decamerón de Boccaccio, Muerte en Venecia o El amor en los tiempos del cólera. Fruto de una de las voces más potentes y originales en la novela y el ensayo argentinos contemporáneos, esta obra exquisita por lo erudita e iluminadora por lo reflexiva y original se erige en verdadera historia cultural de la peste, y en ese gesto deja ver su vocación de clásico.

Title: 300,000 Kisses: Tales of Queer Love from the Ancient World Author: Seán Hewitt, Luke Edward Hall Narrator: André Santana Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 59 minutes Release date: October 10, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A landmark anthology of queer Greek and Roman love stories that reclaim and celebrate homosexual love and sensuality, from artist Luke Edward Hall and award-winning poet Seán Hewitt. For centuries, evidence of queer love in the ancient world has either been ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few narratives are widely known: the wild romance of Achilles and Patroclus; the yearning love of Sappho's lyrics; and the three genders introduced in Plato's Symposium. Yet there is a rich literary tradition of queer Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond the prudish translations of these familiar handful of stories. In 300,000 Kisses, award-winning poet Seán Hewitt and renowned designer Luke Edward Hall collect these stories—including some of the most beautiful and moving in the classical canon—and bring them to vivid life. Alongside celebrated works by Homer, Sappho, Ovid and Catullus, they include a wide range of rarely anthologized sources: raunchy poems, thoughtful dialogues, philosophical treatises, and even a graffiti text salvaged from the ruins of Pompeii. Through Hewitt's contemporary translations, we encounter relationships that are by turns heartfelt and nourishing, unrequited and lustful, toxic and crude, tender and fulfilling. A groundbreaking anthology that seeks to change the way we see the ancient world, 300,000 Kisses is a fascinating journey through love in all its forms.

Title: Half-Life of a Stolen Sister Author: Rachel Cantor Narrator: Tanya Eby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 24 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: How did sisters Emily, Charlotte, and Anne write literary landmarks Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Agnes Grey? What in their lives and circumstances, in the choices they made, and in their close but complex relationships with one another made such greatness possible? In her new novel, Rachel Cantor melds biographical fact with unruly invention to illuminate the siblings' genius, their bonds of love and duty, periods of furious creativity, and the ongoing tolls of illness, isolation, and loss. As it tells the story of the Brontës, Half-Life of a Stolen Sister itself perpetually transforms and renews its own style and methods, sometimes hewing close to the facts of the Brontë lives as we know them (or think we know them), and at others radically reimagining the siblings, moving them into new time periods and possibilities. Chapter by chapter, the novel brings together diaries, letters, home movies, television and radio interviews, deathbed monologues, and fragments from the sprawling invented worlds of the siblings' childhood. As it does so, a kaleidoscopic portrait emerges, giving us with startling intensity and invention new ways of seeing—and reading—the sisters who would create some of the supreme works of literature of all time.

Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.   Featuring stories by: Erin E.

Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them.

These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.   Featuring stories by: Erin E.

Title: Lady Susan (Unabridged) Author: Jane Austen Narrator: Justin Barrett, Patrick Beverley, Simon Taylor, Kirsten Ferreri, Robert Scott, Kara Shallenberg, Kristin Hughes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 25 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Lady Susan by Jane Austen is an epistolary novella by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. This early complete work, which the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the title character. Synopsis: Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful and charming recent widow, visits her brother-in-law (late husband's brother) and his wife, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with little advance notice at Churchill, their country residence. Catherine is far from pleased, as Lady Susan had tried to prevent her marriage to Charles and her unwanted guest has been described to her as 'the most accomplished coquette in England'. Among Lady Susan's conquests is the married Mr. Manwaring. Catherine's brother Reginald arrives a week later, and despite Catherine's strong warnings about Lady Susan's character, soon falls under her spell. Lady Susan toys with the younger man's affections for her own amusement and later because she perceives it makes her sister-in-law uneasy. Her confidante, Mrs. Johnson, to whom she writes frequently, recommends she marry the very eligible Reginald, but Lady Susan considers him to be greatly inferior to Manwaring. Frederica, Lady Susan's 16-year-old daughter, tries to run away from school when she learns of her mother's plan to marry her off to a wealthy but insipid young man she loathes. She also becomes a guest at Churchill. Catherine comes to like her-her character is totally unlike her mother's-and as time goes by, detects Frederica's growing attachment to the oblivious Reginald. Later, Sir James Martin, Frederica's unwanted suitor, shows up uninvited, much to her distress and her mother's vexation. When Frederica begs Reginald for support out of desperation (having been forbidden by Lady Susan to turn to Charles and Catherine), this causes a temporary breach between Reginald and Lady Susan, but the latter soon repairs the rupture. Lady Susan decides to return to London and marry her daughter off to Sir James. Reginald follows, still bewitched by her charms and intent on marrying her, but he encounters Mrs. Manwaring at the home of Mr. Johnson and finally learns Lady Susan's true character. Lady Susan ends up marrying Sir James herself, and allows Frederica to reside with Charles and Catherine at Churchill, where Reginald De Courcy 'could be talked, flattered, and finessed into an affection for her.'

Title: Lady Susan (Unabridged) Author: Jane Austen Narrator: Justin Barrett, Patrick Beverley, Simon Taylor, Kirsten Ferreri, Robert Scott, Kara Shallenberg, Kristin Hughes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 25 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Lady Susan by Jane Austen is an epistolary novella by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. This early complete work, which the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the title character. Synopsis: Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful and charming recent widow, visits her brother-in-law (late husband's brother) and his wife, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with little advance notice at Churchill, their country residence. Catherine is far from pleased, as Lady Susan had tried to prevent her marriage to Charles and her unwanted guest has been described to her as 'the most accomplished coquette in England'. Among Lady Susan's conquests is the married Mr. Manwaring. Catherine's brother Reginald arrives a week later, and despite Catherine's strong warnings about Lady Susan's character, soon falls under her spell. Lady Susan toys with the younger man's affections for her own amusement and later because she perceives it makes her sister-in-law uneasy. Her confidante, Mrs. Johnson, to whom she writes frequently, recommends she marry the very eligible Reginald, but Lady Susan considers him to be greatly inferior to Manwaring. Frederica, Lady Susan's 16-year-old daughter, tries to run away from school when she learns of her mother's plan to marry her off to a wealthy but insipid young man she loathes. She also becomes a guest at Churchill. Catherine comes to like her-her character is totally unlike her mother's-and as time goes by, detects Frederica's growing attachment to the oblivious Reginald. Later, Sir James Martin, Frederica's unwanted suitor, shows up uninvited, much to her distress and her mother's vexation. When Frederica begs Reginald for support out of desperation (having been forbidden by Lady Susan to turn to Charles and Catherine), this causes a temporary breach between Reginald and Lady Susan, but the latter soon repairs the rupture. Lady Susan decides to return to London and marry her daughter off to Sir James. Reginald follows, still bewitched by her charms and intent on marrying her, but he encounters Mrs. Manwaring at the home of Mr. Johnson and finally learns Lady Susan's true character. Lady Susan ends up marrying Sir James herself, and allows Frederica to reside with Charles and Catherine at Churchill, where Reginald De Courcy 'could be talked, flattered, and finessed into an affection for her.'

Title: Daddy Long-Legs (Unabridged) Author: Jean Webster Narrator: Jo Karabasz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 28 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster audiobook - is a 1912 epistolary novel by the American writer Jean Webster. It follows the protagonist, Jerusha 'Judy' Abbott, as she leaves an orphanage and is sent to college by a benefactor whom she has never seen. Jerusha Abbott was brought up at the John Grier Home, an old-fashioned orphanage. The children were completely dependent on charity and had to wear other people's cast-off clothes. Jerusha's unusual first name was selected by the matron from a gravestone (she hates it and uses 'Judy' instead), while her surname was selected out of the phone book. One day, after the asylum's trustees have made their monthly visit, Judy is informed by the asylum's dour matron that one of the trustees has offered to pay her way through college. He has spoken to her former teachers and thinks she has potential to become an excellent writer. He will pay her tuition and give her a generous monthly allowance. Judy must write him a monthly letter because he believes that letter-writing is important to the development of a writer. However, she will never know his identity; she must address the letters to Mr. John Smith, and he never will reply. Judy catches a glimpse of the shadow of her benefactor from the back, and knows he is a tall long-legged man. Because of this, she jokingly calls him Daddy-Long-Legs. She attends a 'girls college' on the East Coast. She illustrates her letters with childlike line drawings, also created by Jean Webster.

Ende zwanzig, Journalistin und bildhübsch. Bis eines Tages ein Schatten vor ihre Augen tritt. Die Diagnose: Morbus Behçet, eine seltene und unheilbare Krankheit, die zur Blindheit führen kann. So auch bei Elena. Die Ärzte geben sie auf, es sei nichts mehr zu retten, sie müsse sich damit abfinden. Aber Elena gibt nicht auf. Sie entscheidet sich für einen anderen Weg. Dafür setzt sie sich kompromisslos mit ihrem Leben auseinander, gräbt sich durch ihre Vergangenheit, sucht nach den Ursachen ihrer Krankheit. Dabei gräbt sie weiter, als geplant, in eines ihrer vorherigen Leben. Und dieses führt sie in geheime Zirkel hinter den Mauern der Kirche. Doch die Suche nach Antworten stellt sich als dunkel heraus. Dunkler, als ihre Blindheit. Der Autorin, die selber an dieser Krankheit litt und jetzt – wider aller Diagnosen – geheilt ist, ist ein äusserst packender, eindrücklicher Roman gelungen, der den Leser auf eine Reise der Erkenntnisse mitnimmt.

Title: The Queen of Sugar Hill: A Novel of Hattie McDaniel Author: Reshonda Tate Narrator: Lynnette R. Freeman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 28 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: As seen on The TODAY Show! Bestselling author ReShonda Tate presents a fascinating fictional portrait of Hattie McDaniel, one of Hollywood’s most prolific but woefully underappreciated stars—and the first Black person ever to win an Oscar for her role as Mammy in the critically acclaimed classic film Gone With the Wind. It was supposed to be the highlight of her career, the pinnacle for which she’d worked all her life. And as Hattie McDaniel took the stage in 1940 to claim an honor that would make her the first African-American woman to win an Academy Award, she tearfully took her place in history. Between personal triumphs and tragedies, heartbreaking losses, and severe setbacks, this historic night of winning best supporting actress for her role as the sassy Mammy in the controversial movie Gone With the Wind was going to be life-changing. Or so she thought. Months after winning the award, not only did the Oscar curse set in where Hattie couldn’t find work, but she found herself thrust in the middle of two worlds—Black and White—and not being welcomed in either. Whites only saw her as Mammy and Blacks detested the demeaning portrayal. As the NAACP waged an all-out war against Hattie and actors like her, the emotionally conflicted actor found herself struggling daily. Through it all, Hattie continued her fight to pave a path for other Negro actors, while focusing on war efforts, fighting housing discrimination, and navigating four failed marriages. Luckily, she had a core group of friends to help her out—from Clark Gable to Louise Beavers to Ruby Berkley Goodwin and Dorothy Dandridge. The Queen of Sugar Hill brings to life the powerful story of one woman who was driven by many passions—ambition, love, sex, family, friendship, and equality. In re-creating Hattie’s story, ReShonda Tate delivers an unforgettable novel of resilience, dedication, and determination—about what it takes to achieve your dreams—even when everything—and everyone—is against you.

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: Essays & Anthologies 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: Essays & Anthologies 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: [German] - Dickens und Prince - Unvergleichliche Genies (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Nick Hornby Narrator: Thomas Nicolai Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 59 minutes Release date: May 4, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Ein warmherziges und unterhaltsames Hörbuch über Kunst, Kreativität und die überraschenden Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen dem viktorianischen Romancier Charles Dickens und dem modernen amerikanischen Rockstar Prince. Mit der Bewunderung eines Fans und seinem typischen Humor und Witz zeigt uns Nick Hornby die kuriosen Ähnlichkeiten zwischen zwei auf ihre Art genialen Künstlern, die bis heute gelesen oder gehört, bewundert und nachgeahmt werden. Hornby untersucht die persönlichen Tragödien der beiden Ausnahmetalente, ihren sozialen Status und ihre grenzenlose Produktivität und zeigt, wie diese beiden ungleichen Männer aus verschiedenen Jahrhunderten 'die Welt erleuchteten'.

So unterschiedlich die Autor:innen dieses lebensnahen Geschichten- und Andachtsbuchs sind, so vielfältig sind auch ihre persönlichen Gedanken und Geschichten.

Title: [German] - Ich hasse meine Freunde (Ungekürzt) Author: Gerald Hoffmann Narrator: Gerald Hoffmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 0 minutes Release date: May 26, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Julian Pichler hat mehr Fragen an das Leben als Antworten und damit ist er nicht allein. Einfühlsam und mit einem grandiosen Sinn für Komik erzählt Gerald Hoffmann in seinem turbulenten Generationenportrait von drei Mittzwanzigern, die keinen Plan vom Leben haben, aber sehr gern einen hätten. Die große Sinnkrise mit Mitte zwanzig, die Quarterlife-Crisis, hat Julian erwischt: sein Studium nervt, er hat Angst vor dem langweiligen Berufsalltag als Jurist und seine On-Off-Beziehung mit Nele ist kompliziert. Das größenwahnsinnige Projekt seiner besten Freunde, eine Schrottimmobilie in Bad Gastein in ein hippes Hotel zu verwandeln, bietet in diesem Moment genau den richtigen Ausweg. Als die Freunde sich zur Finanzierung ihres Traums auf die Suche nach verschwundenen Bitcoins machen, in einer chaotischen Nacht eine ganze Menge Weed die Toilette heruntergespült wird und die umwerfende Schwester seines besten Freundes in die WG einzieht, wird Julians Leben allerdings erst richtig kompliziert.

Title: [Hebrew] - המוח שלי ואני Author: דורון נשר Narrator: ישי גולן Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 52 minutes Release date: January 17, 2022 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: בסוף אוגוסט 2012 , כשהיה בביתו, עבר דורון נשר אירוע מוחי קשה, שבעקבותיו הוא הובהל לבית החולים בילינסון. הרופאים הצליחו להציל את חייו, אבל רבות מיכולותיו הקודמות, בעיקר יכולות הדיבור והתנועה, נפגעו קשות. כעבור כשלושה שבועות הועבר נשר לבית החולים לוינשטיין, והֵחֵל מסע שיקום ארוך ומייסר, שנמשך עד היום. 'המוח שלי ואני', ספר שעליו עמל דורון נשר בשמונה השנים האחרונות, הוא רומן אוטוביוגרפי אחר לגמרי – מעשה ספרותי שמספק הזדמנות חד־פעמית לעקוב אחרי התמודדות פיזית ונפשית עם פגיעה מוחית. נשר, מכוכבי הטלוויזיה והרדיו הגדולים של שנות השמונים והתשעים בישראל, חושף בספר את חוויותיו האישיות מרגעי ההתעוררות הראשונים, דרך ימי האשפוז בבית לוינשטיין ולאורך חיי יומיום רצופים רגעי ייאוש מתסכלים והצלחות קטנות ומפעימות. בשפתו שלו, הייחודית כל כך, מגולל דורון נשר את הקשיים העצומים שעמדו בפניו, קשיים בלתי נתפסים עבור רוב האנשים. מה עובר על אדם שאיבד את יכולות הדיבור, התקשורת והתנועה? איך הוא מחזיר אותן לעצמו? והאם בכלל זה אפשרי? סיפורו האישי והכן עד כאב של נשר מנסה לענות על השאלות האלה בשפה חצי־שבורה וחצי־מפתיעה במורכבותה, במאמץ ניכר לחפש אחר המילים המדויקות, ובעברית ששורשיה במקורות ושנותרה שמורה, למרות הפגיעה, עמוק במוחו של אדם אשר ליהטט כל חייו בשפה העברית.

'המוח שלי ואני', ספר שעליו עמל דורון נשר בשמונה השנים האחרונות, הוא רומן אוטוביוגרפי אחר לגמרי – מעשה ספרותי שמספק הזדמנות חד־פעמית לעקוב אחרי התמודדות פיזית ונפשית עם פגיעה מוחית. נשר, מכוכבי הטלוויזיה והרדיו הגדולים של שנות השמונים והתשעים בישראל, חושף בספר את חוויותיו האישיות מרגעי ההתעוררות הראשונים, דרך ימי האשפוז בבית לוינשטיין ולאורך חיי יומיום רצופים רגעי ייאוש מתסכלים והצלחות קטנות ומפעימות. בשפתו שלו, הייחודית כל כך, מגולל דורון נשר את הקשיים העצומים שעמדו בפניו, קשיים בלתי נתפסים עבור רוב האנשים. מה עובר על אדם שאיבד את יכולות הדיבור, התקשורת והתנועה? איך הוא מחזיר אותן לעצמו? והאם בכלל זה אפשרי? סיפורו האישי והכן עד כאב של נשר מנסה לענות על השאלות האלה בשפה חצי־שבורה וחצי־מפתיעה במורכבותה, במאמץ ניכר לחפש אחר המילים המדויקות, ובעברית ששורשיה במקורות ושנותרה שמורה, למרות הפגיעה, עמוק במוחו של אדם אשר ליהטט כל חייו בשפה העברית.

Title: [Spanish] - Andar y ver: Tercer cuaderno Author: Jesús Silva-Herzog Márquez Narrator: Daniel Cubillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: «Hallazgos de la poesía, revelaciones arquitectónicas, mensajes del pincel o la batuta, sabiduría del bisturí.» Este libro es una colección de ejercicios de admiración, invitaciones a recorrer parajes de maravilla. Con una prosa precisa y transparente, Jesús Silva-Herzog Márquez escribe acerca de obras y artistas que lo han tocado, que le han permitido hacer más ancho y habitable el mundo. Poesía, artes visuales, arquitectura, música, filosofía, botánica, cine y televisión: todo es blanco de su curiosidad vital. No hace distingos de géneros, latitudes ni épocas, el único criterio de selección parece ser la intensidad con la que escucha el canto del significado en los territorios que visita. Así, en este volumen lo mismo encontraremos textos sobre los poemas collage de Anne Carson que sobre la violenta fragilidad de Tony Soprano, sobre el arte de inmersión de Marina Abramović que sobre la gozosa antropología de Anthony Bourdain, sobre la poesía del pensamiento de George Steiner o sobre la porosa creatividad de la Rosalía. El paseante nos guía por caminos que se dispersan. En este tercer cuaderno de Andar y ver —que abarca un periodo de 2011 a 2023—, Jesús Silva-Herzog Márquez vuelve a demostrar que no sólo es uno de los analistas políticos más lúcidos y certeros de nuestro país, sino, también, uno de nuestros mejores ensayistas, capaz de hacer del asombro un auténtico género literario. Este libro nos recuerda que la mejor crítica no es un asunto de erudición, sino de pasión y generosidad, de compartir la intimidad del sentido.

Title: The Black Joy Project Author: Kleaver Cruz Narrator: Pascale Armand Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 16 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A breathtaking and necessary love letter to a force that fuels Black life all around the globe, The Black Joy Project is Humans of New York meets The Black Book ''A patchwork quilt of ... moments of triumph, antidotes to trauma narratives and rich, ebullient emotional and verbal spice for the soul.'' – Michael W. Twitty, culinary and cultural historian, and author of The Cooking Gene and Koshersoul ''In literature, there are some books that transcend mere pages and ink, becoming essential pieces of cultural expression. One such book poised to make its mark is The Black Joy Project…. This ambitious work breaks new ground.'' – Essence Black Joy is everywhere. From the bustling streets of Lagos to hip-hop blasting through apartment windows in the Bronx. From the wide-open coastal desert of Namibia to the lush slopes of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains. From the thriving tradition of Candomblé in Bahia to the innovative and trendsetting styles of Soweto, and beyond, Black Joy is present in every place that Black people exist. Now—at last—is a one-of-a-kind celebration of this truth and a life-giving testament to one of the most essential forces that fuels Black life: The Black Joy Project. International in the scale, fist-raising in the prose, and chockfull of gorgeous works by dozens of acclaimed artists, The Black Joy Project does what no other book has ever done. It puts joy on the same track as protest and resistance … because that is how life is actually lived. Uprisings in the street, with music as accompaniment. Heartbreaking funerals followed by second line parades. Microaggressions in the office, then coming home to a warm hug and a garden of lilacs. The list goes on. Black Joy is always held in tension with broader systemic wounds. It is a powerful, historically important salve that allows us to keep going and reimagine new ways of being. The Black Joy Project captures these dual realities to incredible, unforgettable effect. The brainchild of educator and activist Kleaver Cruz, The Black Joy Project is an extension of a real-world initiative of the same name. It has become a source of healing and regeneration for Black people of all backgrounds and identities. Long overdue and somehow still worth the wait, The Black Joy Project is a necessary addition for any book lover, art enthusiast, or freedom fighter. And begs the question, What does Black Joy mean to you?

Title: [Spanish] - Monólogos: Mrs. Caldwell habla con su hijo; San Camilo 1936; Oficio de tinieblas, 5 Author: Camilo José Cela Narrator: Rebeca Hernando, Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 1 minute Release date: July 13, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Un volumen con tres novelas en las que destacan la inmediatez, la vocación experimental y la maestría técnica de Camilo José Cela El rasgo más destacable que comparten las tres obras aquí reunidas es la libertad y la audacia insólitas con que fueron escritas. Las tres retan al lector desprevenido y le exigen abandonar sus expectativas relacionadas con lo que debe ser una novela. Mrs Caldwell habla con su hijo tiene mucho de soliloquio alucinado afín al poema en prosa. Oficio de tinieblas 5 es quizá la más visceral de las novelas del autor, que la definió como «la purga de mi corazón». Y San Camilo 1936 es sin duda una de las obras maestras de Cela y acaso la novela más importante y veraz que se ha escrito sobre las raíces de la guerra civil española. La crítica ha dicho: «Cela fue el restaurador de la función de la literatura en una sociedad aturdida y pragmática.» José-Carlos Mainer «Uno de los escritores más radicales de todo el siglo XX. [...] Los relojes corren a favor de Camilo José Cela, segundo a segundo, minuto a minuto, hasta marcar la hora exacta de su eterna maestría.» Alberto Olmos «El último gran escritor español, creador de fábulas, de lenguaje, de palabras, con una capacidad prodigiosa para expresarse.» Francisco Umbral «Su escritura es un deslumbrante artificio multiplicado en páginas, para decirlo con un verso suyo, que alumbraron tan fuerte como si ardieran versos.» El País «Cela ha vuelto a poner en marcha sobre los caminos de la Península al viejo héroe literario, con espíritu muy logrado e indudables aciertos en su reactualización.» Alonso Zamora Vicente «Cela es [...] un heredero de la tragedia clásica, capaz de sumergirnos en las simas de la angustia y del dolor; y también un heredero de la picaresca española.» Juan Manuel de Prada Camilo José Cela Thu, 13 Jul 2023 07:43:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680840 thebookvoice.com 30:1:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680840]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Blonde Author: Joyce Carol Oates Narrator: Karin Zavala Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 40 hours 20 minutes Release date: April 20, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: LA VIDA DE MARILYN MONROE CONTADA POR JOYCE CAROL OATES El libro en el que se basa Blonde, la película de Netflix protagonizada por Ana de Armas y uno de los 40 libros imprescindibles escritos por mujeres según Elena Ferrante «Una de nuestras autoras favoritas, [...] indestructible, [...] Tiene una mirada super lúcida y tremenda; también me gusta mucho el mito de Marilyn, del éxito destructivo. [...] El libro es fantástico, como todo lo que hace ella.» Carlos Zanón, Babelia, El País «Socorro, siento que la Vida se acerca.» Marilyn Monroe era puro fuego, sexualidad a flor de piel, romances turbulentos, pero también era una mujer frágil, asustada y repleta de inseguridades que buscaba en otros -en el Ex Deportista, en el Dramaturgo o en el Presidente- ese amor que ella misma se negaba. Una artista superdotada cargada de conflictos, temores y pasiones desatadas; una niña que no dejó de huir hacia delante y que llegó a burlar a la propia muerte para convertirse en leyenda. Tras una exhaustiva documentación, Joyce Carol Oates redibuja la vida interior de Norma Jeane Baker -la pequeña sin padre, la mujer dependiente de tranquilizantes y estimulantes, la actriz y amante malograda- y a su «Amiga Mágica del Espejo», la rubia idolatrada a la que el mundo llegó a conocer como Marilyn Monroe. La crítica ha dicho... «¿Puede ser la seducción innata ante una cámara la fuente del nacimiento de un doble? O incluso, ¿puede la imagen capturada por la cámara/espejo tomar cuerpo en la realidad, ante la mirada de deseo de los otros? Blonde de Joyce Carol Oates ahonda indirectamente en estas cuestiones a través de uno de los grandes iconos de la cultura popular del siglo XX.» Alan Salvadó, Diari de Tarragona «Nadie ha plasmado en palabras a Marilyn de una manera más brillante que Oates.» Sunday Times «Oates nos hace vivir la vida de Marilyn Monroe. Y es un verdadero infierno. Y es brillante. Porque nos querremos arrancar los ojos para dejar de mirar, y es imposible.» Ann Patchett, The Times «Novelistas como John Updike, Philip Roth, Tom Wolfe y Normal Mailer han luchado a brazo partido por el título de Gran Novelista Americano. Pero quizás se equivoca. Puede que ese título pertenezca a una mujer.» The Herald «Blonde es lo que todas las biografías de Monroe deberían ser pero no son: una reinvención fabulosa de la vida de una reinvención fabulosa, un espejo para nuestras vanidades colectivas y un libro que se devora.» Evening Standard «Oates no ha tenido ningún miedo a la hora de abordar un asunto que atraviesa casi cualquier aspecto de la historia de mediados del siglo XX [...]. Un libro potente e hipnótico.» Literary Review «Un logro épico, una obra maestra y una obra de arte concebida de un modo tan emocionante que a veces pareciera que es algo más que meramente un libro.» Independent on Sunday «Dramática, provocativa e inquietantemente sugerente, Blonde es tan explosiva como su protagonista, la legendaria Marilyn Monroe. En una prosa impresionista de elevada potencia, Oates crea un retrato sorprendente y conmovedor de la estrella mítica y de la sociedad que la creó y le falló.» Publishers Weekly «Una magnífica obra, escrita con parte de esa frenética inspiración con la que Marilyn Monroe vivió su vida. Si no ha leído aún a Joyce Carol Oates, no lo deje por más tiempo. Empiece aquí y ahora.» Susan Jeffreys, The Independent Joyce Carol Oates Thu, 20 Apr 2023 07:43:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680841 thebookvoice.com 40:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/680841]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Y es un verdadero infierno. Y es brillante. Porque nos querremos arrancar los ojos para dejar de mirar, y es imposible.» Ann Patchett, The Times «Novelistas como John Updike, Philip Roth, Tom Wolfe y Normal Mailer han luchado a brazo partido por el título de Gran Novelista Americano. Pero quizás se equivoca. Puede que ese título pertenezca a una mujer.» The Herald «Blonde es lo que todas las biografías de Monroe deberían ser pero no son: una reinvención fabulosa de la vida de una reinvención fabulosa, un espejo para nuestras vanidades colectivas y un libro que se devora.» Evening Standard «Oates no ha tenido ningún miedo a la hora de abordar un asunto que atraviesa casi cualquier aspecto de la historia de mediados del siglo XX [...]. Un libro potente e hipnótico.» Literary Review «Un logro épico, una obra maestra y una obra de arte concebida de un modo tan emocionante que a veces pareciera que es algo más que meramente un libro.» Independent on Sunday «Dramática, provocativa e inquietantemente sugerente, Blonde es tan explosiva como su protagonista, la legendaria Marilyn Monroe. En una prosa impresionista de elevada potencia, Oates crea un retrato sorprendente y conmovedor de la estrella mítica y de la sociedad que la creó y le falló.» Publishers Weekly «Una magnífica obra, escrita con parte de esa frenética inspiración con la que Marilyn Monroe vivió su vida.

Title: [Spanish] - Blonde Author: Joyce Carol Oates Narrator: Karin Zavala Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 40 hours 20 minutes Release date: April 20, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: LA VIDA DE MARILYN MONROE CONTADA POR JOYCE CAROL OATES El libro en el que se basa Blonde, la película de Netflix protagonizada por Ana de Armas y uno de los 40 libros imprescindibles escritos por mujeres según Elena Ferrante «Una de nuestras autoras favoritas, [...] indestructible, [...] Tiene una mirada super lúcida y tremenda; también me gusta mucho el mito de Marilyn, del éxito destructivo. [...] El libro es fantástico, como todo lo que hace ella.» Carlos Zanón, Babelia, El País «Socorro, siento que la Vida se acerca.» Marilyn Monroe era puro fuego, sexualidad a flor de piel, romances turbulentos, pero también era una mujer frágil, asustada y repleta de inseguridades que buscaba en otros -en el Ex Deportista, en el Dramaturgo o en el Presidente- ese amor que ella misma se negaba. Una artista superdotada cargada de conflictos, temores y pasiones desatadas; una niña que no dejó de huir hacia delante y que llegó a burlar a la propia muerte para convertirse en leyenda. Tras una exhaustiva documentación, Joyce Carol Oates redibuja la vida interior de Norma Jeane Baker -la pequeña sin padre, la mujer dependiente de tranquilizantes y estimulantes, la actriz y amante malograda- y a su «Amiga Mágica del Espejo», la rubia idolatrada a la que el mundo llegó a conocer como Marilyn Monroe. La crítica ha dicho... «¿Puede ser la seducción innata ante una cámara la fuente del nacimiento de un doble? O incluso, ¿puede la imagen capturada por la cámara/espejo tomar cuerpo en la realidad, ante la mirada de deseo de los otros? Blonde de Joyce Carol Oates ahonda indirectamente en estas cuestiones a través de uno de los grandes iconos de la cultura popular del siglo XX.» Alan Salvadó, Diari de Tarragona «Nadie ha plasmado en palabras a Marilyn de una manera más brillante que Oates.» Sunday Times «Oates nos hace vivir la vida de Marilyn Monroe.

Title: Remembrance: Selected Correspondence of Ray Bradbury Author: Ray Bradbury Narrator: Jacques Roy, Dan Bittner, Byron Wagner, Eunice Wong, Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 59 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Ray Bradbury, the iconic author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, believed that a collection of his letters could someday illuminate the story of his life in new ways. That story emerges across time and memory in the pages of Remembrance. Ray Bradbury was one of the best-known writers and creative dreamers of our time. The many honors he received, which included an Emmy and Academy Award nomination for adaptations of his work, culminated in the 2000 National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, a 2004 National Medal of Arts, and a 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation. For many years NASA and the Disney Studio felt the impact of Ray Bradbury’s creativity, and his fiction has found its way into hundreds of anthologies, textbooks, and the National Endowment for the Arts’ Big Read program. His enduring legacy as a storyteller, novelist, and space-age visionary radiated out into popular adaptations for stage, film, and television, and now the fascinating narratives and insights of his personal and professional correspondence are revealed for the first time. Remembrance offers the first sustained look at his life in letters from his late teens to his ninth decade. Bradbury’s correspondence was far-reaching—he interacted with a rich cross-section of 20th-century cultural figures, writers, film directors, editors, and others who simply wanted insights or encouragement from a writer who had enriched their lives through his stories and novels. Bradbury scholar and biographer, Jonathan R. Eller, organized this volume into categories of correspondents, showing Bradbury’s progression through life as he knew it, and not necessarily as the public perceived him. Letters to and from mentors and other writers are followed by correspondence with such film directors as John Huston, François Truffaut, and Federico Fellini. Letters with publishers and agents are followed by letters that capture moments of national and international recognition, the shadows of war and family members who shared the memories of his life. Among the writers whose letters illuminate Remembrance are Theodore Sturgeon, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Twilight Zone writers Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson, Dan Chaon, Bernard Berenson, Nobel Laureate Bertrand Russell, Graham Greene, Anaîs Nin, Gore Vidal, Carl Sandburg, and Jessamyn West. Remembrance illuminates the most elusive aspect of Ray Bradbury’s wide-ranging writing passions—the correspondence he sent and received throughout his long life, each letter intended for an audience of one.

Title: [German] - Hallesche Wassergeschichten Author: Karin Scherf Narrator: Karin Scherf Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 1 minute Release date: April 8, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Halle an der Saale kennt viele Geschichten rund um das Wasser: da gibt es Halles Wasserkunst, Halles Wassermusik, Halles wässrige Sagen und Halles Wasserlegenden - erzählt und vertont von Karin Scherf in fünf spannenden Hörspielen. Lebendig werden dabei historische Persönlichkeiten wie der Maler und Bildhauer Mathias Grünewald und der Dichter Joseph von Eichendorff, die in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise ihre Rolle in der Stadtgeschichte spielten.

Jahrhunderts im Sommer in der Saale und im Winter überhaupt nicht gebadet wurde? Und hätte Grünewalds Neubau der Wasserkunst Halles jahrhundertelanges Problem mit dem Abwasser lösen können? Und was wäre wohl passiert, wenn der 17jährige Eichendorff Luise, der ältesten Tochter des Hofkapellmeisters Reichardt, wirklich begegnet wäre?

Title: Thrilling Cities: Fourteen Cities Seen Through the Eyes of Ian Fleming, the Creator of James Bond Author: Ian Fleming Narrator: Barnaby Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 7 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BOND Ian Fleming’s world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world’s most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author’s Bond canon. From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective. Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure…and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.

Title: Science, Being, & Becoming: The Spiritual Lives of Scientists Author: Paul J.

Spirituality is the Final Frontier for Science Contrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming shares interviews with some of the world's foremost scientists who recount their own transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences and how those experiences transformed them and their scientific work. This groundbreaking book makes it evident that the long-standing divide between science and spirituality has not served us well and in fact continues to have significant adverse consequences for us all.

Title: [Spanish] - El origen de la alegría Author: Pablo Ramos Narrator: Sebastián Ronchetti Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 38 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Gabriel Reyes, protagonista de la trilogía conformada por El origen de la tristeza, La ley de la ferocidad y En cinco minutos levántate María, muy afectado por la inesperada y temprana muerte de su hermana menor, inicia un viaje a Rosario colmado de paradas intermedias en las que se encuentra con amigos, amantes y distintas situaciones con las que intenta superar su dolor y desamparo. «Yo voy a inventar la noche, hermanita... voy a llenar el Remanso de luces y música orillera, a puro sapucay, pura serpentina y a puro carnaval carioca.» Gabriel Reyes, el recordado protagonista de El origen de la tristeza, vuelve con una historia de viaje y de duelo: su hermana menor muere de manera inesperada y Gabriel, roto, loco, desesperado, emprende una aventura que lo lleva de Buenos Aires a Rosario. Lo acompaña su entrañable amigo Alfredo, que lo conoce perfectamente y sabe anticiparse a los caprichos y deseos del narrador.

Title: The Woman Back from Moscow: In Pursuit of Beauty Author: Ha Jin Narrator: Catherine Ho Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Through the life of a remarkable woman, based on pioneering stage director Sun Weishi (1921–1968), this epic novel immerses us in the multifaceted history of China’s Communist Party.As a promising young actress, Sun Weishi made the critical decision to pursue her studies in Moscow—with the blessing of her influential adoptive father, Zhou Enlai, and Mao himself. The valuable insights she gained there during World War II, most notably the significance of characters’ inner lives, would enable her to excel back in China, where she produced works by Chekhov and Gogol, and other socially progressive dramas, such as an adaptation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Her striking career as China’s first female director of modern spoken drama (Huaju) would be derailed with the advent of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, which put her once again at odds with an old nemesis: Jiang Ching, a fellow actress who schemed her way to the top as Mao’s fourth and final wife.Through the decades-long rivalry between these two complex women, and their differing approaches to the men in power who shaped their lives, Ha Jin deftly explores the ideals of communism and the reality of the Chinese Communist Party. At the same time, the novel captivates us with Sun Weishi’s personal struggles and triumphs, as she navigates friendship, love, art, and politics amid the great events of the twentieth century.

Title: The President's Wife Author: Tracey Enerson Wood Narrator: Libby Mcknight Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 7 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.75 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 2.5 of Total 2 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The incredible story of the First Lady who clandestinely assumed the presidencySocialite Edith Bolling has been in no hurry to find a new husband since she was widowed, preferring to fill her days with good friends and travel. But the enchanting courting of President Woodrow Wilson wins Edith over, and she becomes the First Lady of the United States. The position is uncomfortable for the fiercely independent Edith, but she’s determined to rise to the challenges of her new marriage—from the bloodthirsty press to the shadows of the First World War.Warming to her new role, Edith is soon indispensable to her husband’s presidency. She replaces the staff that Woodrow finds distracting and discusses policy with him daily. Throughout the war, she encrypts top-secret messages and, despite lacking formal education, becomes an important adviser. When peace talks begin in Europe, she attends at Woodrow’s side. But just as the critical fight to ratify the treaty to end the war and create a League of Nations in order to prevent another is underway, Woodrow’s alwaysdelicate health takes a dramatic turn for the worse. In her determination to preserve both his progress and his reputation, Edith all but assumes the presidency herself.Now, Edith must contend with the demands of a tumultuous country, the secrets of Woodrow’s true condition, and the potentially devastating consequences of her failure. At once sweeping and intimate, The President’s Wife is an astonishing portrait of a courageous First Lady and the sacrifices she made to protect her husband and her country at all costs.

Title: [Spanish] - El vértigo horizontal Author: Juan Villoro Narrator: Antonio Raluy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 43 minutes Release date: November 24, 2018 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: La estructura de este libro es un zapping de la memoria y la observación. Las secciones que dan orden a los fragmentos aluden a una manera de habitar la Ciudad de México, todas ejercidas por el autor, quien sobrevivió para contarla. Así, 'Vivir en la ciudad' describe escenas de la vida diaria, pasajes de la infancia del autor (las casas vacías de la colonia en la que creció, el último paseo con su abuela) en una ciudad de la que no queda más que la memoria personal y el cuento que con ésta se forja. 'Personajes en la ciudad' retrata de cuerpo entero al Chilango, pero también a otros habitantes del ex DF, como Paquita la del Barrio o el Rey de Coyoacán, que mueven, cada quien a su manera, multitudes.

Title: [Spanish] - El vértigo horizontal Author: Juan Villoro Narrator: Antonio Raluy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 43 minutes Release date: November 24, 2018 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: La estructura de este libro es un zapping de la memoria y la observación. Las secciones que dan orden a los fragmentos aluden a una manera de habitar la Ciudad de México, todas ejercidas por el autor, quien sobrevivió para contarla. Así, 'Vivir en la ciudad' describe escenas de la vida diaria, pasajes de la infancia del autor (las casas vacías de la colonia en la que creció, el último paseo con su abuela) en una ciudad de la que no queda más que la memoria personal y el cuento que con ésta se forja. 'Personajes en la ciudad' retrata de cuerpo entero al Chilango, pero también a otros habitantes del ex DF, como Paquita la del Barrio o el Rey de Coyoacán, que mueven, cada quien a su manera, multitudes.

Title: [Spanish] - Canción de infancia Author: J.M.G. Le Clézio Narrator: Javier Portugués (portu) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 55 minutes Release date: April 20, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: La nueva novela del premio Nobel de Literatura: un canto al independentismo emocional y el relato sobrecogedor de su infancia como niño de la guerra «Si hay un escritor que, como decía Borges de Shakespeare, podría ser todos los hombres, es sin duda Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio.» Andrés Seoane, El Cultural En este viaje sentimental por Bretaña, la tierra idílica de su infancia, Le Clézio nos invita a reflexionar sobre la identidad territorial, los nacionalismos y el paso del tiempo. Desde su primer recuerdo —la explosión de una bomba en el jardín de la casa de su abuela—, pasando por los años vividos como niño de la guerra, que de forma tan terrible impactaron en su aprendizaje del mundo, el premio Nobel de Literatura dibuja una página imprescindible de su geografía emocional que habla de la pertenencia y su lugar en la memoria. Un recorrido hacia la madurez, pero sobre todo una mirada lúcida sobre los cambios sociopolíticos en un territorio único, la progresiva desaparición de su economía tradicional y la orgullosa dignidad de un pueblo que, pese a todo, se aferra a sus raíces. La crítica ha dicho... «Todo un regalo para los sentidos donde este francés itinerante, pese a esa repulsión a la nostalgia, abre la puerta a los recuerdos de la infancia y nos invita en estos tiempos de encierro a un viaje a nuestros primeros años de niñez con sus luminosos momentos de belleza y, a veces, de tragedia. [...] Hay viajes que no requieren pasaporte ni visas. Son esos que apelan a la memoria y las sensaciones.» Francisco Millet Alcoba, La Opinión de Málaga «Las personas también nacen de las palabras. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio es un hijo de los cuentos de tres mujeres que le han ayudado a sobrevivir y de las historias ajenas y los sonidos del mundo por donde lo ha llevado su nomadismo. [Canción de infancia es] la estupefacción frente a la proximidad de la muerte provocada por otros, una gran fractura que intuye en el mundo.» Winston Manrique Sabogal, El Tiempo «Le Clézio ha terminado volviendo al país de su infancia, entre la Costa Azul y la Bretaña, para descubrirnos otros mundos, fábulas celestes que nos ayudan a comprender, quizá, la crisis universal en curso, la pandemia.» Juan Pedro Quiñonero «Otra vuelta atrás, otra retrospectiva dedicada a sus lugares predilectos, pero se centra en el espíritu de la época y desecha la nostalgia. [...] Aflora la melancolía, la belleza de lo perdido.» Alberto G. Palomo, InfoLibre «Una mezcla entre la nostalgia y la aflicción. Sin embargo, detrás de estos sentimientos no se esconde ninguna idealización nostálgica del pasado ni una folclorización reaccionaria, sino un puente con los temas más urgentes de la agenda social contemporánea.» Ana Llurba, COOLT «Le Clézio, a través de dos cuentos unidos entre sí, habla de la pertenencia, el amor a la tierra y el descubirmiento del mundo a través de la mirada de un niño.» Irene Adler, La Región «Con una sencillez casi bíblica, estos dos cuentos trazan una autobiografía infantil y destilan un polvo dorado entre las palabras más sencillas, como una niebla de otro tiempo.» Bertrand Leclair, Le Monde «Un himno radiante, [...] un homenaje a la infancia y a sus vacaciones de verano, pero también a las mujeres: su imaginación y coraje, el respeto que se les debe.» Isabelle Spaak, Le Figaro J.M.G.

Die fünfzehnjährige Marta flieht aus dem kommunistischen Polen nach Deutschland. Sie lässt das Kriegsrecht, Nahrungsmittelrationierung, Solidarność hinter sich. Alles ist neu. Nach dem Abitur in Kiel und dem Medizinstudium im Berlin der ersten Stunde nach der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands geht sie in die Schweiz, wo sie forensische Psychiaterin und Psychotherapeutin wird.

El rostro de los héroes que al principio ilustraba la portada de los manifiestos se convirtió en el manifiesto mismo. Como la cocaína o la heroína, la belleza anula nuestra voluntad, apaga nuestra independencia, nos ata a los caprichos de cualquier traficante que nos entrega por una hora o dos a la modelo translúcida.

Title: [Spanish] - Contra la inocencia Author: Rafael Gumucio Narrator: Leandro Bianco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 25 minutes Release date: December 14, 2021 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Estar contra todo y todos parece la actitud más adolescente posible. Pero estar contra cualquier atisbo de totalitarismo, ya sea estético, subjetivo o político, resulta una tarea compleja. Y 'Contra la inocencia' cumple a cabalidad ese objetivo. Pues en estos ensayos iconoclastas se hilvana una escritura fluida y aguda, a ratos íntima, que inspecciona con profundidad en las paradojas del individuo moderno. Gumucio exhibe así la perversión que encubre cualquier cuerpo que posea una belleza extrema, la profunda violencia del animalismo radical, la esencia malvada de la política o la imposibilidad de apropiarse de la muerte y sus relatos. En Contra la inocencia encontramos altas dosis del mejor género ensayístico: las ideas se van hilvanando con humor y ferocidad, dando pie a las contradicciones que demanda cualquier acto reflexivo. Gumucio aniquila la moralista división entre alta y baja cultura que suele ejercer la academia y con erudición reflexiona prescindiendo de cualquier cita autorizada, tachando todo totalitarismo.

Title: [Spanish] - En la Tierra somos fugazmente grandiosos Author: Ocean Vuong Narrator: Masumi Mutsuda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 14 minutes Release date: April 12, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Un joven que se descubre a sí mismo en su doble condición de inmigrante y homosexual. Un libro valiente y conmovedor.  Un hijo le escribe una larga carta a su madre, que no sabe leer. La carta es en realidad un examen de conciencia, un repaso a los elementos clave que han ido conformando su identidad: como hijo de una familia de vietnamitas que huyeron de su país rumbo a Estados Unidos y como joven que descubre y asume su homosexualidad. El entorno familiar del chico se compone de la abuela –ahora anciana y moribunda–, que tuvo que marcharse de Vietnam con sus hijas después de pasar por experiencias muy duras para sobrevivir acabada la guerra: se había casado con un militar estadounidense y años después del triunfo del Vietcong la familia fue evacuada a Filipinas, donde pasó un tiempo en un campo de refugiados, y desde allí emigró a América. Hay también un padre maltratador y ausente, que fue arrestado por agredir a su esposa. Y está la madre maltratada, que trabaja en un salón de manicura y mantiene una compleja relación con su hijo. Y, por último, el joven protagonista de esta historia, que creció en Hartford, Connecticut, sufrió acoso escolar por su doble marginalidad –como inmigrante y como homosexual– y descubrió siendo un adolescente el amor y la sexualidad con Trevor... Un libro bellísimo y veraz, inspirado en las vivencias íntimas del autor, que combina momentos de extrema crudeza con otros de una belleza sutil y elusiva. Ocean Vuong nos deslumbra con esta primera novela en la que la literatura se convierte en una precisa y potente herramienta de evocación, descubrimiento y exploración para narrar el paso de la adolescencia a la madurez. «Una narración personal e intimista... Vuong es un escritor sólido y audaz, y su primera novela es muy potente» (Kevin Canfield, San Francisco Chronicle). «Vuong es magistral creando imágenes impresionistas e imborrables… La novela contiene algunas de las páginas más conmovedoras que he leído en mi vida sobre dos chicos experimentando juntos… Un libro espléndido» (Justin Torres, The New York Times Book Review). «Una obra maestra… Valiente, reveladora y extraordinaria» (Literary Journal). «Un texto crudo y luminoso» (Kirkus Reviews). «Una de las novelas más hermosas que he leído, una maravilla literaria y una pieza de una extraordinaria humanidad. Una verdadera obra maestra» (Max Porter). «Una carta de amor herida e imponente que nunca se enviará. Un poderoso testimonio de la magia y la pérdida. Una maravilla» (Marlon James). «Vuong se enfrenta a los límites del lenguaje (…) y expande nuestra percepción de lo que la literatura puede hacer visible, pensable y sentible a través de fronteras y generaciones y géneros» (Ben Lerner). «Uno no tiene muy a menudo la oportunidad de aplicar palabras como 'brillante' y 'extraordinaria' a muchas novelas, y menos a una primera novela. Gracias, Ocean Vuong, por esta brillante y extraordinaria primera novela» (Michael Cunningham).

Un libro bellísimo y veraz, inspirado en las vivencias íntimas del autor, que combina momentos de extrema crudeza con otros de una belleza sutil y elusiva. Ocean Vuong nos deslumbra con esta primera novela en la que la literatura se convierte en una precisa y potente herramienta de evocación, descubrimiento y exploración para narrar el paso de la adolescencia a la madurez. «Una narración personal e intimista... Vuong es un escritor sólido y audaz, y su primera novela es muy potente» (Kevin Canfield, San Francisco Chronicle). «Vuong es magistral creando imágenes impresionistas e imborrables… La novela contiene algunas de las páginas más conmovedoras que he leído en mi vida sobre dos chicos experimentando juntos… Un libro espléndido» (Justin Torres, The New York Times Book Review). «Una obra maestra… Valiente, reveladora y extraordinaria» (Literary Journal). «Un texto crudo y luminoso» (Kirkus Reviews). «Una de las novelas más hermosas que he leído, una maravilla literaria y una pieza de una extraordinaria humanidad. Una verdadera obra maestra» (Max Porter). «Una carta de amor herida e imponente que nunca se enviará. Un poderoso testimonio de la magia y la pérdida. Una maravilla» (Marlon James). «Vuong se enfrenta a los límites del lenguaje (…) y expande nuestra percepción de lo que la literatura puede hacer visible, pensable y sentible a través de fronteras y generaciones y géneros» (Ben Lerner). «Uno no tiene muy a menudo la oportunidad de aplicar palabras como 'brillante' y 'extraordinaria' a muchas novelas, y menos a una primera novela. Gracias, Ocean Vuong, por esta brillante y extraordinaria primera novela» (Michael Cunningham). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/677478 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/677478]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Mutiny Author: Dorothy Edwards Narrator: Mark Rice-Oxley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Dorothy Edwards, an only child, was born on the 18th August 1902 at Ogmore Vale in Glamorgan.Her father was a headmaster and an early activist in the Independent Labour Party. At age 9 Dorothy, dressed in red, welcomed Keir Hardy on to the stage at Tonypandy during the national coal strike of 1912. She was taught that revolution was at hand, that class barriers would be a thing of the past. Dorothy won a scholarship and boarded at Howell's School for Girls in Llandaff before moving to University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire where she read Greek and philosophy.Her early hopes to be an opera singer were set to one side after graduating and the death of her father. Instead she took on part-time work to supplement her mother's pension with whom she now lived.Dorothy managed to write a number of short stories which appeared in the literary journals of the day. She spent several months with her mother in Vienna, all the time revising or writing before embarking on 'Winter Sonata', a short novel published in 1928.Introductions to several members of the Bloomsbury Group meant a move to London and a division of her time between child-care for the family of Bloomsbury author David Garnett and the promise of an advance payment for her work on a new volume of stories.However, Dorothy's life was starting to spiral out of control; she was attracted to the Welsh nationalist movement but felt that her Welsh provincialism made her, in London at least, feel socially inferior. Leaving her mother dependent on a hired companion consumed her with guilt as did the end of an affair with a married musician.On the 5th January 1934, having spent the morning burning her papers, Dorothy Edwards threw herself in front of a train near Caerphilly railway station. Her suicide note read: "I am killing myself because I have never sincerely loved any human being all my life. I have accepted kindness and friendship and even love without gratitude, and given nothing in return."

Title: Home Life Relayed Author: E M Delafield Narrator: Mark Rice-Oxley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 33 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture, and more commonly known as E M Delafield, was born in Steyning, Sussex on 9th June 1890. Raised in the fading years of the Victorian era with its Empire and strict moral codes Delafield, not yet married at twenty-one, joined a French religious order, in Belgium, but soon decided that this was a totally wrong choice for her. Her next challenge was her work during the horror of the First World War. Delafield decided to take up a position as a nurse in a Voluntary Aid Detachment in Exeter. It was whilst here that she managed to write her first novel, 'Zella Sees Herself'. With the end of the war new opportunities were sought and she now took up a position for the South-West Region of the Ministry of National Service in Bristol. With it came enough time to write two more novels: 'The War Workers' (1918) and 'The Pelicans' (1918). On 17th July 1919, she married Colonel Arthur Paul Dashwood, OBE, an engineer responsible for building the massive docks at Hong Kong Harbour. The marriage produced two children; Lionel and Rosamund. That same year her fourth novel, 'Consequences', was published. The couple spent their early years in Malaya but returned to England to live in Croyle, an old house in Kentisbeare, Devon. Delafield continued to collect responsibilities and organise whatever she could. At the initial meeting of the Kentisbeare Women's Institute, Delafield was unanimously elected president, and also became a Justice of the Peace, raised the children and, of course, continued to write her best-selling novels. Her greatest work is undoubtedly the largely autobiographical 'Diary of a Provincial Lady', which is a simply structured journal of the life of an upper-middle class Englishwoman, living mostly in a Devon village of the 1930s. It spawned several best-selling sequels. Her works also includes stage and radio plays, film scripts and short stories. After the death of her son in 1940, her health began to markedly decline. E M Delafield died on 2nd December 1943 after collapsing whilst giving a lecture in Oxford. She was 53.

Title: The Homecoming Author: Anna Enquist Narrator: Clare Corbett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 19 minutes Release date: April 1, 2022 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: An internationally bestselling, award-winning novel peering deep into the passions, losses, and reveries of the wife of eighteenth-century explorer Captain James Cook. After twelve years of marriage to English explorer James Cook, Elizabeth has yet to spend an entire year with her husband. In their house by the Thames, she moves to the rhythms of her life as a society wife, but there is so much more to her than meets the eye. She has the fortitude to manage the house and garden, raise their children, and face unbearable sorrow by herself—in fact, she is sometimes in thrall to her own independence. As she prepares for another homecoming, Elizabeth looks forward to James’s triumphant return and the work she will undertake reading and editing his voluminous journals. But will the private life she’s been leading in his absence distract her from her role in aid of her husband’s grand ambitions? Can James find the compassion to support her as their family faces unimaginable loss, or must she endure life alone as he sails off toward another adventure? An intimate and sharply observed novel, The Homecoming is as revelatory as James Cook’s exploration of distant frontiers and as richly rewarding as Elizabeth’s love for her family. With courage and strength, through recollection and imagination, author Anna Enquist brilliantly narrates Elizabeth’s compelling record of her life, painting a psychological portrait of an independent woman ahead of her time and closely acquainted with history.

Title: Queer Little Nightmares Author: Kai Cheng Thom., Matthew J. Trafford, Eddy Boudel Tan, Jaye Simpson, Hiromi Goto, Amber Dawn, David Demchuk Narrator: Danielle Verayo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The fiction and poetry of Queer Little Nightmares reimagines monsters old and new through a queer lens, subverting the horror gaze to celebrate ideas and identities canonically feared in monster lit. Throughout history, monsters have appeared in popular culture as stand-ins for the non-conforming, the marginalized of society. Pushed into the shadows as objects of fear, revulsion, and hostility, these characters have long conjured fascination and self-identification in the LGBTQ+ community, and over time, monsters have become queer icons. In Queer Little Nightmares, creatures of myth and folklore seek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, and classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. The characters in these stories and poems — the Minotaur camouflaged in a crowd of cosplayers, a pubescent werewolf, a Hindu revenant waiting to reunite with her lover, a tender-hearted kaiju, a lagoon creature aching for the swimmers above him, a ghost of Pride past — relish their new sparkle in the spotlight. Pushing against tropes that have historically been used to demonize, the queer creators of this collection instead ask: What does it mean to be (and to love) a monster? Contributors include Amber Dawn, David Demchuk, Hiromi Goto, jaye simpson, Eddy Boudel Tan, Matthew J. Trafford, and Kai Cheng Thom. Kai Cheng Thom., Matthew J.

Title: [German] - Allein unter Amerikanern Author: Tuvia Tenenbom Narrator: Stefan Krause Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 34 minutes Release date: September 30, 2016 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Seit über drei Jahrzehnten lebt Tuvia Tenenbom in New York. Als er sich 2015 für seine neue Großreportage erstmals auf eine Reise quer durch die USA begab, ahnte er nicht, was ihn erwarten würde: Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass die Vereinigten Staaten so völlig anders sind, als ich immer angenommen hatte. Lange Jahre war ich überzeugt, dass ich sie ziemlich gut kennen würde. Aber ich bin mir da nicht mehr so sicher. Erst jetzt entdecke ich so nach und nach das wahre Amerika, Stück für Stück, Mensch für Mensch, Staat für Staat. Tenenbom reiste von Florida bis nach Alaska, von Alabama bis nach Hawaii, vom Deep South und Bible Belt bis an die Großen Seen und die Westküste, sprach mit Politikern und Predigern, mit Evangelikalen, Mormonen und Quäkern, mit Rednecks und Waffennarren, Kriminellen und Gefängnisinsassen, mit Indianern und Countrymusikern, Antisemiten und Zionisten, mit Obdachlosen und Superreichen und vielen, vielen mehr. Die USA rühmen sich, das Land der Freien und die Heimat der Tapferen zu sein. Das wahre Amerika jedoch, so Tenenboms bestürzende Erkenntnis, ist weder frei noch tapfer, sondern ängstlich darauf bedacht, alle Freiheiten einzuschränken. Es ist in sich zutiefst gespalten, rassistisch und hasserfüllt. Kann sich die Menschheit auf die USA verlassen? Ich würde es nicht tun.

Title: [German] - Allein unter Juden Author: Tuvia Tenenbom Narrator: Stefan Krause Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 1 minute Release date: July 18, 2015 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Ende 2012 erschien Tuvia Tenenboms furioser Reisebericht Allein unter Deutschen, der heftig diskutiert wurde und monatelang auf der Bestsellerliste stand. Nach seiner Deutschland-Tour hat sich Tenenbom 2013 auf Entdeckungsreise durch Israel begeben. Dreißig Jahre nachdem er seine Heimat in Richtung USA verlassen hat, kehrte er, der Sohn eines Rabbiners, zurück, um sich ein eigenes Bild davon zu machen, wie sich die kulturelle und politische Identität Israels verändert hat. Dafür ist er wieder kreuz und quer durchs Land gereist: Vom Gazastreifen bis zu den Golanhöhen, von Eilat bis zu den Hisbollah-Stellungen im Norden. Das Ergebnis dieser nicht immer ganz konfliktfrei verlaufenen Begegnungen ist eine ebenso unterhaltsame wie erhellende Erkundung eines Landes der Extreme, wie man sie so noch nie gehört oder gelesen hat.

Title: [German] - Allein unter Juden Author: Tuvia Tenenbom Narrator: Stefan Krause Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 1 minute Release date: July 18, 2015 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Ende 2012 erschien Tuvia Tenenboms furioser Reisebericht Allein unter Deutschen, der heftig diskutiert wurde und monatelang auf der Bestsellerliste stand. Nach seiner Deutschland-Tour hat sich Tenenbom 2013 auf Entdeckungsreise durch Israel begeben. Dreißig Jahre nachdem er seine Heimat in Richtung USA verlassen hat, kehrte er, der Sohn eines Rabbiners, zurück, um sich ein eigenes Bild davon zu machen, wie sich die kulturelle und politische Identität Israels verändert hat. Dafür ist er wieder kreuz und quer durchs Land gereist: Vom Gazastreifen bis zu den Golanhöhen, von Eilat bis zu den Hisbollah-Stellungen im Norden. Das Ergebnis dieser nicht immer ganz konfliktfrei verlaufenen Begegnungen ist eine ebenso unterhaltsame wie erhellende Erkundung eines Landes der Extreme, wie man sie so noch nie gehört oder gelesen hat. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676822 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676822]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Kalevala. Das finnische Nationalepos Author: Christine Giersberg, Elias Lönnrot Narrator: Reinhard Kuhnert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 52 minutes Release date: September 15, 2014 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: as im Jahre 1835 von Elias Lönnrot aufgezeichnete Nationalepos Kalevala basiert auf mündlichen Überlieferungen der finnischen Mythologie und gehört zu den wichtigsten Werken der finnischen Literatur. Der Text des Kalevalas besteht aus 22.795 Versen in fünfzig Gesängen, auch Runen genannt. Die deutsche Übersetzung ist von Anton Schiefner und stammt aus dem Jahre 1852. Das im Originaltext verwendete Versmaß besteht aus insgesamt acht Silben, dem trochäischen Tetrameter.

S. Merwin, Christopher Maurer, Alan Trueblood, and Alastair Reid—this volume brings to light many poems that have never appeared in English, presenting them en face with their Spanish originals.

Title: [Spanish] - Todo nos sale bien Author: Julia Coria Narrator: Luciana Falcón Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 40 minutes Release date: April 16, 2021 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: 'La época en que todo esto comenzó fue la mejor época de nuestra vida. Mientras en algún rincón de su cuerpo las células cancerígenas despertaban para hacer estragos, nosotros sacábamos pasajes de avión, cenábamos todos los jueves en La Guitarrita, y armábamos una biblioteca colosal, orgullo de la familia. Recuerdo que una vez Fabi me dijo 'Tenemos todo'. Me acuerdo también de que me inquietó escucharlo: es la clase de cosas que mejor no decir en voz alta. Todo nos sale bien es una novela autobiográfica donde el cuidado, el amor y la valentía se entrelazan y tejen redes para sostener a los miembros de la familia ante el diagnóstico de Fabián. Julia detalla en un cuaderno cada etapa de la enfermedad iluminándola con recuerdos felices de la pareja: el primer encuentro en la facultad de Sociales, la declaración de amor, la llegada de los hijos, los viajes, los proyectos, la vida. Es ese registro minucioso, quizá, su fuente de fortaleza ante el desmoronamiento de su mundo y ante el imperativo de ser refugio para Cuca y Fidel, y darles respuestas que no tiene. Julia Coria nos conmueve con su propia experiencia y nos transmite su vulnerabilidad, pero sobre todo la lucidez ante el dolor que se necesita para seguir adelante.'

Title: 18 Long Lived Communities around the World Author: Martin K Ettington Narrator: Martin K Ettington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 24 minutes Release date: March 20, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This book is about communities and cities around the world where people live to very old ages. It is divided into two groups. Those communities who have the longest lived peoples in the world. Lots of lifestyle and diet data is included for them. The second group are another set of communities which have high average ages which people live to but are not quite the outliers that the first group is. I’ve also tried to provide some general lifestyle and diet guidelines to give an idea of why these places are different for longevity purposes. The first four communities were also profiled in my book “Diets and Lifestyles of the World's Oldest Peoples & 32 Longevity Recipes” which goes into lot of details about these four locations including traditional recipes. Overall, I think you will get a better idea of what the reasons are why people live a long time in these locations around the world which may give you ideas about adapting your lifestyle and diets to have maximum longevity.

Title: [Spanish] - Mudanza Author: Verónica Gerber Narrator: Gabriela Palafox Teran Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 5 minutes Release date: December 27, 2019 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Habitan este libro personajes con destinos ambliopes. Creadores que en un arrebato de lucidez demencia deciden renunciar, abandonarse a la contingencia para poner su vida, cuerpo y trabajo, en un espacio de indeterminación. Este libro recoge las pruebas de una irrefutable propensión al absurdo. Todas las piezas reunidas en los ensayos tienen por objetivo darle vuelta a la literatura para reencontrarse con ella como si fuera la primera vez. Al trasladarla, verla desde otro lugar . Mirar el mundo estético desde el otro lado del espejo. En la búsqueda de obras en las que apoyarse para perseverar en el camino de la creación, en el afán por encontrar nortes estéticos que impulsen al diálogo y al reto, la gran mayoría de los artistas termina por inventarse una tradición propia. Mudanza es el collage de vidas, obras y personajes con el que Verónica Gerber ha decidido responder a las preguntas que se ha hecho en su tránsito creativo. Este libro nos entrega un mapa −imaginario y posible− y una genealogía −singular y múltiple− que descubre nuevas maneras de recorrer el lenguaje y sus orillas.

Creadores que en un arrebato de lucidez demencia deciden renunciar, abandonarse a la contingencia para poner su vida, cuerpo y trabajo, en un espacio de indeterminación. Este libro recoge las pruebas de una irrefutable propensión al absurdo. Todas las piezas reunidas en los ensayos tienen por objetivo darle vuelta a la literatura para reencontrarse con ella como si fuera la primera vez. Al trasladarla, verla desde otro lugar . Mirar el mundo estético desde el otro lado del espejo. En la búsqueda de obras en las que apoyarse para perseverar en el camino de la creación, en el afán por encontrar nortes estéticos que impulsen al diálogo y al reto, la gran mayoría de los artistas termina por inventarse una tradición propia. Mudanza es el collage de vidas, obras y personajes con el que Verónica Gerber ha decidido responder a las preguntas que se ha hecho en su tránsito creativo. Este libro nos entrega un mapa −imaginario y posible− y una genealogía −singular y múltiple− que descubre nuevas maneras de recorrer el lenguaje y sus orillas.

Title: [Spanish] - Papeles falsos Author: Valeria Luiselli Narrator: Elvira Liceaga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 20 minutes Release date: January 15, 2020 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Papeles falsos, primer libro de Valeria Luiselli, está compuesto por una serie de ensayos narrativos de temas diversos, donde la constante es el registro de la original mirada de la autora, siempre presta a encontrar detalles o conexiones entre ideas de muy diverso orden, ecos de un pensamiento que por fuerza obliga al lector a repensar. La escondida tumba de Brodsky en Venecia; la inclasificable y elusiva saudade portuguesa; el lenguaje como ruptura con la «infancia previa a la infancia», son algunos de los ingeniosos pretextos para el despliegue de una escritura precisa, que nos deja la impresión de estar presenciando esas particularidades, guiados por un lúcido filtro que sugiere múltiples variaciones de una realidad que se transforma con el pasar de su lectura.

Title: [Spanish] - Diarios, ensayos, crónicas: la cocina de la escritura Author: José Donoso Narrator: Ricardo Alanis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 3 minutes Release date: January 30, 2020 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Los diarios de José Donoso han sido, por años, fuente de especulaciones y comentarios acerca de su carácter polémico y controversial. Este libro rescata una importante sección de esos diarios olvidados, y nos enfrenta como lectores a algunos de los secretos y obsesiones más profundos del gran narrador chileno. Los recuerdos de la infancia, la realidad familiar y sus momentos de dubitación o alegría frente a la escritura pasan a un primer plano y nos muestran a un Donoso íntimo, casi al desnudo. Muchas veces con la urgencia propia de lo periodístico, el conjunto de crónicas, ensayos y comentarios recopilado aquí abarca una amplia gama de temas, que van desde el pasaje de sus novelas al cine hasta una exposición de arte en Nueva York, todos escritos con la profundidad y exactitud de un auténtico renovador de la narrativa en Chile y Latinoamérica.

Some Body to Love: Join Sally as she embarks on a quest to get chlamydia while helping her classmate's father secure a corpse in time for his sex doll convention . . . and maybe find love along the way. The Lepercorn: Lucy and her father are just like any working-class family trying to make an honest living scamming blind people out of hot dogs. But their lives are turned upside down when a small misunderstanding manifests as a grotesque abomination. Something Borrowed, Someone Blew: Though this story begins with a joyous wedding celebration, it soon descends into a tale so terrifying you might never hear wedding bells quite the same way again. Bite My H. O. Ass: Who doesn't love a Homeowners' Association? What organization would you trust more to guide you safely through a zombie apocalypse? A Hard Bargain: Have you ever considered what would be so valuable to you that it would be worth selling your soul? Money? Power? Fame? Join Tina and Mephistopheles as they learn valuable lessons about mortality and friendship. Contains mature themes.

Title: [German] - Helga Schubert über Anton Tschechow - Bücher meines Lebens, Band 4 (Ungekürzte Autorinnenlesung) Author: Helga Schubert Narrator: Helga Schubert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 43 minutes Release date: April 5, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Wie hilft uns Literatur in den dunkelsten und einsamsten Momenten des Lebens? Und wie schreibe ich selbst über den Schmerz ohne Pathos, einfach und klar? Helga Schubert hat so viel bei Anton Tschechow gelernt. Über das Leben und das Schreiben. Helga Schubert erzählt in diesem persönlichen, traurig-schönen Buch von ihrer ersten Begegnung mit Tschechow, ihrer ersten Lektüre seiner Erzählung Gram, die sie erschüttert und gerettet hat. Sie schaut genau: Wie hat er das gemacht? Was ist die Kunst seines Schreibens, wie funktioniert sein Handwerk? Sie berichtet von seinem Leben, davon, wie er als Arzt für seine Patienten, wie er als Familienmensch für seine Eltern und Geschwister da war. Wie er die Gesellschaft anderer brauchte für seine Geschichten, und wie sie ihn vom Arbeiten abhielt. Es war ein Leben zwischen Überforderung und Mitleid mit allen, mit den Menschen, den Tieren, der Kreatur. Helga Schubert war auf Spurensuche in Jalta auf der Krim, in Moskau und in ihrem eigenen Leben und Schreiben. Entstanden ist ein unglaublich intensives, literarisches Porträt ihres Tschechows.

Title: [German] - Steinhammer (Ungekürzte Autorenlesung) Author: Jörg Thadeusz Narrator: Jörg Thadeusz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: April 5, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Dortmund-Lütgendortmund in der Nachkriegszeit, das bedeutet Armut, Kriegstraumata und wenig Hoffnung auf eine rosige Zukunft. Doch drei Jugendliche kämpfen um einen besseren Platz im Leben. Edgar wächst bei seiner Mutter und seinem Onkel - der Vater ist im Krieg gefallen - in den 50er-Jahren in der Steinhammer Straße in Dortmund auf. Er soll später den Friseurladen übernehmen oder bei schlechtem Betragen zur Strafe auf den Pütt. Er, seine Jugendliebe Nelly und sein bester Freund Jürgen - sie alle haben genug von der ärmlichen Enge und Versehrtheit des Viertels und träumen davon, alles hinter sich zu lassen. Als Edgar die Möglichkeit bekommt, Schaufensterdekorateur zu lernen, und Förderer findet, öffnet sich die Tür zur Düsseldorfer Künstlerszene. Doch Edgar ist anders als die Sprösslinge reicher Familien und eckt mit seiner unkontrollierten Art immer wieder an. Der Roman lehnt sich an an das Leben des Malers Norbert Tadeusz, der es zum Meisterschüler Beuys' und zum Kunstprofessor brachte. Jörg Thadeusz schreibt in diesem authentischen Roman über einen Aufsteiger, der mit seiner Herkunft bricht und sie doch nie ganz loswird.

Title: [Spanish] - La historia de los vertebrados Author: Mar García Puig Narrator: Esther Cordero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: March 23, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: *Premio Ciutat de Barcelona 2023* *Premio Openbank de Literatura by Vanity Fair como autora revelación* «Esta novela de una editora apasionada de la literatura es una joya». Mercedes Milá Una novela sobre la ansiedad y el poder sanador de las historias de las mujeres que nos precedieron. Un viaje por heridas personales y luchas universales a través del arte y la literatura. «El 20 de diciembre de 2015 me convertí en madre y enloquecí. [...] Ese mismo día, España votaba en las primeras elecciones en las que participaba un nuevo partido [...], y la esperanza del cambio planeaba sobre la jornada. Al anochecer, cuando yo contaba contracciones en la sala de dilataciones, el país contaba escaños. Y ambas cuentas confluyeron en una nueva vida para mí, porque uno de esos escaños iba a ser mío. El mismo día del nacimiento de mis hijos, me convertí en diputada del Congreso». El que debería haber sido el día más feliz en la vida de la narradora de esta novela se convierte en el inicio de una historia de locura. La ansiedad se apodera de ella y el peso del mundo cae sobre sus hombros por partida doble: debe cuidar a sus mellizos recién nacidos y dar voz a los que han confiado en ella. Esta historia indaga en una herida personal para conectar con luchas universales, y es un viaje a través del arte, la literatura, la mitología y la historia de la medicina. Con maestría, Mar García Puig convierte la experiencia personal en un relato que nos habla de todas las mujeres que alguna vez han sentido que la cordura las abandonaba y de todos los hombres que las han silenciado amparados por siglos de ciencia, mitos y política. Reseñas: «Un libro erudito, tierno y duro, y honesto siempre». Katixa Agirre «Un libro híbrido y maravilloso, tan monumental como íntimo. Sus palabras resuenan simultáneamente en nuestra sensibilidad política y poética: con La historia de los vertebrados todas las locas entendemos las razones de nuestra melancolía y nos ponemos a cantar». Marta Sanz «La historia de los vertebrados es la fórmula con la que ha dado García Puig para trasladar su experiencia y la de muchas otras mujeres desde la antigua Grecia hasta la actualidad pasando por el Renacimiento o la época victoriana [...], se adentra en la depresión postparto y en el miedo que provoca la maternidad». Leonor Mayor, La Vanguardia «Un potente testimonio de su experiencia de locura puerperal. Un tapiz delirante y cuerdo que se dispara en varias direcciones». Enrique Vila-Matas «Una historia íntima que es a su vez una historia política de esa estruendosa explosión de afectos que significa la maternidad. Mar García Puig nos regala sus poderosas experiencias como madre primeriza en el Congreso de los Diputados, y con ellas traza un vínculo con las barrigas llenas de la literatura, el teatro, la filosofía y el arte a lo largo de los siglos. Leyendo La historia de los vertebrados, se me hace imposible no acordarme de la escritura memorística de Deborah Levy o Maggie Nelson». Luna Miguel «El talento narrativo de Mar García Puig se alía con la erudición para lograr que en su caso particular resuenen tanto el destino colectivo del país como la larga tradición cultural».

Javier Cercas, El País «Un tal González está escrito con la ironía de un espectador lúcido y la astucia de un narrador que recrea con buen estilo escenas que le permiten sustanciar su hipótesis sobre González. [...] El libro convence». Jordi Amat, Babelia «Quizá empecemos a apreciar ser hijos de la transición más que nietos de la guerra civil». Han pasado ya cuarenta años del primer triunfo del Partido Socialista Obrero Español en unas elecciones generales (octubre de 1982) y de la llegada al poder de un joven abogado sevillano, Felipe González, que en 2022 ha cumplido ochenta años. Un tal González narra un momento crucial de la historia de España, la transición, siguiendo el hilo biográfico de su gran protagonista. La figura de Felipe González vertebra el relato, pero el foco está en una España que pasa en menos de una generación de la misa y el partido único a la democracia avanzada y a la completa integración en Europa. Esta es una historia documentada con testimonios de primera mano,crónicas, hemeroteca y el pulso de un narrador que ha contado como nadie la España de hoy. «Poca ficción y firme literatura». Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Un libro estupendo. [...] El resultado, insisto, es sobresaliente, literariamente muy alto y, en mi opinión, históricamente convincente». Juan Marqués, The Objective «Un libro valiente, que va a contracorriente. [...] Sergio del Molino lo ha logrado: no solo ha escrito un gran libro, sino que además es entretenidísimo, emocionante, fresco, profundo; de excelente literatura. [...] Un tal González trascenderá la efeméride. Es un libro importante». José Antonio Montano, The Objective «Del Molino mira donde nadie mira y por eso ve lo que nadie ve. Y lo cuenta con trazo de escritor grande». Iñaki Gabilondo «Un escritor agudo y versátil con una capacidad literaria todoterreno». Raúl Conde, El Mundo «Una crónica que literalmente se devora». José María Múgica, Vozpópuli «¿Es una crónica, una novela, un intento de ensayo, una reflexión muy personal? Es unas gotas de cada y es un retrato delicioso de un tipo al que creemos conocer quienes tenemos una edad y al que, al cerrar el libro de Sergio del Molino, sabemos que no conocemos ni por asomo. [...] Si la buena literatura es matiz, sugerencia y pase torero, Del Molino hace un ejercicio redondo». Violeta Santiago, El Diario Montañés «Un estupendo e inclasificable libro [...] porque no es una biografía al uso, se lee como una novela y es el testimonio vital de un tipo interesante. Molino. Bueno, y González». Jose María de Loma, La Opinión de Málaga «Una provocación, por no decir un sacrilegio: lo es porque intenta honestamente entender al personaje en toda su complejidad; también, porque su autor se declara más satisfecho de ser hijo de la Transición que nieto de la Guerra Civil». Javier Cercas, El País «Retrato novelado del personaje en el que aflora su ambigüedad, su ambivalencia entre el hechizo carismático, el desafecto para tomar decisiones y una autoconvicción devenida en cesarismo». Ignacio Camacho, ABC «Estamos ante un retrato disfrutable incluso por quienes tenemos opiniones opuestas a las del autor sobre el expresidente».

Title: [Spanish] - Teoría del viaje: Poética de la geografía Author: Michel Onfray Narrator: Eugenio Gómez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 34 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Una brillante hoja de ruta para quienes quieran sentirse viajeros, y no turistas. «Todo viaje es iniciático; de modo parecido, una iniciación no deja de ser un viaje.» Michel Onfray convierte el viajar, uno de los sencillos placeres de la vida, en un estimulante tema de reflexión. Además de ser una invitación a soltar amarras, este libro tiene el poder de prolongar la emoción y el sabor del viaje a través de la filosofía y la literatura, de la historia y la mitología. Deseo de partir, preparativos sumidos en lecturas, elección del medio de transporte, entusiasmo y sorpresa a la llegada, despertar de los cinco sentidos durante la estancia, toma de notas y fotografías, regreso a casa, elaboración del recuerdo..., todas las etapas cobran en este libro una dimensión filosófica. Teoría del viaje es una declaración de guerra a nuestra tendencia a cuadricular y cronometrar nuestra existencia. La crítica ha dicho: «Onfray convierte el placer de viajar en un interesante tema de reflexión.» Gabi Martínez, Cultura/s de La Vanguardia «Michel Onfray ha escrito un manifiesto a favor del desajuste de todos los sentidos que supone 'el deseo ferviente de la movilidad'.» El Viajero, El País «Este libro, constituye, todo él, una invitación.» Ricardo Martínez, Todo Literatura «Hay que leer a Onfray. Para él, no vivir plenamente es un crimen del que somos únicos culpables. Ese hedonismo invita a pensar un mundo en el que el ser cuenta más que el tener.» François Busnel, L'Express «Michel Onfray insiste desde hace veinticinco años en despertar en todos nosotros el 'deseo de ser un volcan', y nos invita a deshacernos de la cultura de la culpabilidad judeocristiana para entregarnos a los placeres de los sentidos y a recoger la rosa cada día.» Martin Legros, Philosophie Magazine Michel Onfray Thu, 30 Mar 2023 07:43:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674579 thebookvoice.com 2:34:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674579]]> to listen full audiobooks.

La crítica ha dicho: «Onfray convierte el placer de viajar en un interesante tema de reflexión.» Gabi Martínez, Cultura/s de La Vanguardia «Michel Onfray ha escrito un manifiesto a favor del desajuste de todos los sentidos que supone 'el deseo ferviente de la movilidad'.» El Viajero, El País «Este libro, constituye, todo él, una invitación.» Ricardo Martínez, Todo Literatura «Hay que leer a Onfray. Para él, no vivir plenamente es un crimen del que somos únicos culpables. Ese hedonismo invita a pensar un mundo en el que el ser cuenta más que el tener.» François Busnel, L'Express «Michel Onfray insiste desde hace veinticinco años en despertar en todos nosotros el 'deseo de ser un volcan', y nos invita a deshacernos de la cultura de la culpabilidad judeocristiana para entregarnos a los placeres de los sentidos y a recoger la rosa cada día.» Martin Legros, Philosophie Magazine https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674575 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674575]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Más afuera Author: Jonathan Franzen Narrator: Rafael De La Rica Hernández Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 5 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Una incisiva colección de ensayos, donde Jonathan Franzen vuelve con renovado vigor a los temas, tanto humanos como literarios, que le han preocupado durante mucho tiempo. Bien sea narrando su violento encuentro con cazadores furtivos en Chipre, bien sea señalando de forma aguda y conmovedora cómo el abuso de las nuevas tecnologías está erosionando el sentido de la intimidad, Franzen cumple en cada uno de estos textos la promesa implícita de llegar hasta el fondo y no escatimar nada. Así pues, estos ensayos dan fe de una inteligencia madura que se interroga sobre la identidad, el alcance de la literatura y algunos de los temas más relevantes de nuestro tiempo. El título del libro hace referencia a la isla Alejandro Selkirk -denominada Masafuera hasta 1966-, el islote más apartado de los tres que componen el archipiélago Juan Fernández, situado a unos 800 kilómetros de la costa continental de Chile. Hasta ese remoto lugar, poblado sólo por aves, osos marinos y una veintena de familias de pescadores temporeros, se desplazó Jonathan Franzen para reponerse de una agotadora gira promocional, con la intención de releer Robinson Crusoe y depositar las cenizas de su amigo y colega David Foster Wallace, muerto dos años antes. La crítica ha dicho... «Una colección de ensayos de sólida elegancia y perspicacia, escritos con pasión y tocados por la pérdida.» Kirkus Reviews «Los ensayos de Franzen están colmados de aforismos y, sorprendentemente, de humor [...]. Una recopilación polifacética y elocuente, que logra aproximar los lectores al autor.» The Economist «Una visita guiada de sus preocupaciones personales, la mayoría de las cuales son, hay que decirlo, fascinantes.» The New York Observer Jonathan Franzen Thu, 30 Mar 2023 07:43:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674575 thebookvoice.com 11:5:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674575]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Lieutenant Kurosawa's Errand Boy Author: Warran Kalasegaran Narrator: Remesh Panicker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 35 minutes Release date: September 22, 2022 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: During the Japanese Occupation of Singapore, an eight-year-old Tamil boy is separated from his father, forced to work for the Kempeitai and renamed Nanban. From Lieutenant Kurosawa Takeshi, he learns their language and customs, studies their martial arts and prays to their Emperor. While watching the cruelty with which the Imperial Army rules Singapore, Nanban becomes just as ruthless to survive. Twenty years later, a young misfit strives to make a successful living as a seamstress. Papatti is swept up in her ambition, trying to drum up crowds and get featured in the national newspapers, when she meets a cunning politician and an eager dockworker who both try to win her attention. Then she is faced with a harrowing loss, and is forced to find her place in a new world. Over decades of tempestuous history, the lives of Nanban, Papatti and Lieutenant Kurosawa intertwine in surprising and powerful ways, and beg the question: how is reconciliation possible in the face of war and heartbreak? © 2017 by Warran Kalasegaran.

Title: Yorùbá Boy Running Author: Biyi Bandele Narrator: Chiwetel Ejiofor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 4, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Yorùbá Boy Running charts Samuel Ajayi Crowther's miraculous journey from slave to liberator, boy to man, running to resisting 'Run, Àjàyí, run!' The day the Malian slave traders invaded the Nigerian town of Òsogùn, thirteen-year-old Àjàyí's life was split in two. Before, there was his childhood, surrounded by friends and family, watched over by the ancient Yorùbá gods of forest and water, earth and sky. After: capture, slavery - and release, into the service of a new god, his own culture left far behind. So Àjàyí becomes Samuel Crowther - missionary, linguist, minister - and abolitionist: driven to negotiate against his own people to end the miserable trade in human beings which destroyed his family. Drawing on the prolific writings of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Biyi Bándélé has created a many-voiced, kaleidoscopic portrait of an extraordinary man. From the heart-stopping drama of Àjàyí's last day of freedom to the farcical intrigue of the Òsogùn court; from a meeting with Queen Victoria; to his consecration as the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church, his journey, like all great odysseys, circles back to where he began. By turns witty, moving and quietly political, Biyi Bándélé's reimagining of Crowther's life is a brilliant tour de force. WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM WOLE SOYINKA 'A true artist. A brilliant writer. An original thinker' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ‘Biyi Bándélé had a prolifically talented and creative mind, shown in everything he touched. Yorùbá Boy Running is no exception’ Chiwitel Ejiofor ©2024 Biyi Bandele (P)2024 Penguin Audio Cover artwork Chris Ofili, Blind Leading Blind, 2005 © The artist.

Title: [Portuguese] - Nasci para ser Traída (Integral) Author: Swellen Sauer Narrator: Swellen Sauer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 27 minutes Release date: December 4, 2020 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: As pessoas vão tentar fazer você acreditar que amor de verdade não existe. Vão tentar fazer você acreditar que fidelidade só no dicionário. Vão tentar te entristecer, te magoar, te ferir. As pessoas são malvadas, egoístas... A gente só desconfia do que é capaz de fazer. Seja leal a você e a felicidade que se propõe a viver todos os dias. Ninguém é feliz vivendo sem propósito! Isso é desculpa de quem tem preguiça de viver. E às vezes dá muita preguiça! Mas existe algo maior, muito maior em nossas vidas. Existe alguém que te criou, te cuidou, e que zela por cada minuto da sua vida e que te faz ter a certeza que é uma delícia sorrir. Como já cantou o Fagner 'Na fé que eu já sei de cor tem dor que não sei rezar.' E não sabemos mesmo! Mas 'Ele' sabe o que fazer com a sua dor! Acredite no real, no importante, no digno, no perdão, no amor... E há quem diga que é loucura viver de amor. Antes ser louco do que triste! Seja feliz louco assim! Que morramos enlouquecidos pela droga mais viciante do mundo chamada amor! Que nunca nos falte! Que nunca nos interne! Que nunca nos tire! Que nunca nos cure! E principalmente, que nunca nos mate! Por fim, ser traído não é mérito, não é bonito, dói e muito, mas não é o fim do mundo se você souber lidar com o aprendizado que uma traição lhe trás. Perdoe. Não carregue o pior dos sentimentos com você. Mágoa mata. E a gente merece ser feliz apesar dos pesares. Amar requer paciência e sabedoria.

Title: In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose Author: Alice Walker Narrator: Lynnette R. Freeman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 9 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In this groundbreaking classic essay collection, Alice Walker speaks out as a Black woman, writer, mother, and feminist on topics ranging from the personal to the political. Originally published forty years ago, Alice Walker’s first collection of nonfiction is a dazzling compendium that remains both timely and relevant. In these thirty-six essays, Walker contemplates her own work and that of other writers, considers the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the anti-nuclear movement of the 1980s, and writes vividly and courageously about a scarring childhood injury. Throughout, Walker explores the theories and practices of feminism, incorporating what she calls the “womanist” tradition of black women—insights that are vital to understanding our lives and society today. “When I graduated from college, my father gave me Alice Walker’s In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens. It was a beaten-up paperback in 1999, and it’s even more battered now.” —Jesmyn Ward Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: [German] - Die einzige Frau im Raum - Starke Frauen im Schatten der Weltgeschichte, Band 4 (ungekürzt) Author: Marie Benedict Narrator: Sabine Arnhold Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 20 minutes Release date: April 7, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Marie Benedict widmet sich Hedy Lamarr, einer Frau, die das Weltgeschehen maßgeblich beeinflusst hat und deren Errungenschaften vergessen wurden. Das Buch erzählt die Geschichte der Schauspielerin, Glamour-Ikone und Wissenschaftlerin: Die Schönheit von Hedy Lamarr, die mit bürgerlichem Namen Hedwig Maria Kiesler hieß und jüdischer Abstammung war, führte sie zu einer kometenhaften Schauspielkarriere in Wien und zur Heirat mit einem österreichischen Waffenhändler. Durch ihn hatte sie Zugriff auf die Pläne des Dritten Reichs, ein Wissen, das sie später nutzte, um an der Seite der Alliierten zu kämpfen. Im Jahr 1937 verließ sie ihren gewalttätigen Ehemann und floh über Paris und London nach Hollywood. Dort wurde sie zu Hedy Lamarr, dem weltberühmten Filmstar. Was keiner wusste: Sie war Erfinderin. Und sie hatte eine Idee, die dem Land helfen könnte, die Nazis zu bekämpfen und die moderne Kommunikation zu revolutionieren ... wenn ihr nur jemand zugehört hätte.

Title: [German] - Kölner Sagen und Legenden Author: Kristina Hammann Narrator: Michael Nowack Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 10 minutes Release date: November 10, 2019 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Ach war das ein Leben in Köln! Des Abends bettete man sich zur Ruh und wenn man sich am nächsten Tage erhob, fand man alles aufs Vortrefflichste gerichtet. So ein schönes Leben hatten die Kölner früher also, als es die wundersamen Heinzelmännchen noch gab und diese kleinen Wesen den Kölnern ihre harte tagtägliche Arbeit abnahmen. Warum dies heute nicht mehr so ist, erzählt eine der bekanntesten deutschen Stadtsagen auf diesem Hörbuch. Doch auch ohne Heinzelmännchen ist Köln bis heute Sehens- und lebenswert geblieben. Kein Geringerer als Gaius Iulius Caesar ebnete durch den Sieg über wilde germanische Stämme und die Eroberung der linksrheinischen Gebiete den Weg für die römische Kolonie Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (CCAA). Noch heute findet man an vielen Orten Spuren aus der Römerzeit.

Title: [German] - Karlsruher Sagen und Legenden Author: Christine Giersberg Narrator: Uve Teschner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 10 minutes Release date: October 1, 2010 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Blickt man aus der Vogelperspektive auf Karlsruhe, versteht man, warum Karlsruhe auch die Fächerstadt genannt wird. Vom Zentrum, dem Schlosse aus, streben 32 Straßen und Alleen strahlenförmig in alle Himmelsrichtungen. Das erste Stadtgebiet bildeten, einem Fächer gleich, die neun nach Süden laufenden Straßen. Mit dem Bau seiner neuen Residenz Karlsruhe, mitten im Hardtwald, erfüllte sich der Markgraf von Baden-Durlach Karl-Wilhelm einen lange gehegten Wunsch nach einer modernen Stadt. In Durlach, seinem vorherigen Sitz, verweigerten die Bürger den Ausbau der Karlsburg, die Vergrößerung der Parkanlagen und die Modernisierung der Stadt. Am 17. Juni 1715 war Grundsteinlegung für die am Zeichenbrett entworfene Stadt.

Title: [German] - Dresdner Sagen und Legenden Author: Kristina Hammann Narrator: Uve Teschner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 0 minutes Release date: March 1, 2011 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Neue Ausgrabungen weisen auf eine Besiedlung des Elbtals durch die Slawen im 7. Jahrhundert hin. Dabei geht der Name auf das slawische Wort für Sumpfwald zurück. Um 929 von der Burg Meißen unterworfen, entwickelte sich die Stadtbevölkerung so geschwind, dass es zur Germanisierung und 1206 schließlich zur ersten urkundlichen Erwähnung von Dresden kam. Das Hochmittelalter war geprägt von einer Blütezeit der Wirtschaft, den Folgen der Pest und Belagerungen. 1485 kam es zur Teilung Sachsens durch die Herzogsbrüder Ernst und Albrecht, der letztere wählte Dresden so dann zu seinem ständigen Hauptsitz. Eine Hörbuch-Reise in das sagenhafte Dresden, bei der der Verlag die alte Tradition des Geschichtenerzählens aufleben lässt und sie mit dem modernen Medium Hörbuch verbindet.

Mai 1159 als Papst Hadrian IV. verfügte, dass die Bewohner eines kleinen Dorfes einmal im Jahr fünf Schillinge an St. Ursula in Köln abzuführen hätten. Düsseldorf war damals klein, wirtschaftlich aber bereits von Bedeutung. Trotzdem einige Düsseldorfer das Fährrecht besaßen und auch ein Pfarrkirchlein ihr eigen nannten, stand das Dorf lange im Schatten von Kaiserswerth, Gerresheim und der Römerstadt Neuss. Die Schlacht von Worringen, an die noch heute das Stadterhebungsdenkmal von Bert Gerresheim erinnert, änderte dies.

Title: [German] - Düsseldorfer Sagen und Legenden Author: Nadine Boos Narrator: Uve Teschner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 11 minutes Release date: November 6, 2010 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Es war der 23. Mai 1159 als Papst Hadrian IV. verfügte, dass die Bewohner eines kleinen Dorfes einmal im Jahr fünf Schillinge an St. Ursula in Köln abzuführen hätten. Düsseldorf war damals klein, wirtschaftlich aber bereits von Bedeutung. Trotzdem einige Düsseldorfer das Fährrecht besaßen und auch ein Pfarrkirchlein ihr eigen nannten, stand das Dorf lange im Schatten von Kaiserswerth, Gerresheim und der Römerstadt Neuss. Die Schlacht von Worringen, an die noch heute das Stadterhebungsdenkmal von Bert Gerresheim erinnert, änderte dies.

Die ersten Siedlungen der späteren Hansestadt lagen auf einer Düne an der Weser, die sowohl Schutz vor Hochwasser als auch Zugang zu einer Furt bot. Im Jahre 787 unter Kaiser Karl der Große wurde die Stadt Bischofssitz und, 1186, mit dem Gelnhauser Privileg erhob Kaiser Barbarossa sie zur Reichsstadt.

Title: [German] - Saarbrücken Sagen und Legenden Author: Christine Giersberg Narrator: Uve Teschner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 4 minutes Release date: May 1, 2010 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Saarbrücken, seit 1947 Landeshauptstadt des Saarlandes, entstand 1909 aus den Städten Saarbrücken, St. Johann und Malstatt-Burbach. Das Wahrzeichen der Stadt ist die prächtige, imposante Ludwigskirche, eine der bedeutendsten barocken evangelischen Kirchen Deutschlands. Die Ursprünge Saarbrückens reichen bis in die vorrömische Zeit zurück. Damals existierte im Bereich von Alt-Saarbrücken eine keltische Siedlung. Von der Eroberung durch die Römer im 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. zeugen noch heute etliche Überreste. In einer von Kaiser Otto III. im Jahr 999 ausgestellten Schenkungsurkunde an das Bistum Metz, wurde zum ersten Mal das Castellum Sarabrucca erwähnt. Nachdem sich immer mehr Menschen in der Nähe der Burg ansiedelten, entwickelte sich in der Grafschaft Saarbrücken der Ort Alt-Saarbrücken. Graf Johann I. verlieh sowohl Saarbrücken als auch St. Johann jeweils das Stadtrecht.

Title: Sad Happens Author: Brandon Stosuy Narrator: Deanna Anthony, André Santana, Eric Yang, Em Grosland, Reena Dutt, Nikki Massoud, Cynthia Farrell, George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 10 minutes Release date: November 14, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A beautifully illustrated, celebratory anthology exploring sadness—and the transformative power of tears. When was the last time you cried? Was it because you were sad? Or happy? Overwhelmed, or frustrated? Maybe from relief or from pride? Was it in public or in private? Did you feel better afterwards, or worse? The reasons that we cry—and the circumstances in which we shed a tear—are often surprising and beautiful. Sad Happens is a collective, multi-faceted archive of tears that captures the complexity and variety of these circumstances. We hear from Mike Birbiglia on the role that grief and pain have in comedy; Jia Tolentino on how motherhood made her cry in both hormonal joy and fervent rage; and Hanif Abdurraqib on the intimacy of crying on planes. We hear from Phoebe Bridgers on poignant moments of departure and JP Brammer on the strange disappointments of success; Matt Berninger on becoming a crybaby in his adulthood and Hua Hsu on crying during a moment of public uncertainty. We also hear from everyday people in a range of professions: an actor on the tips she learned from drag queens about preserving a full face of makeup while crying; a zookeeper on mourning the animals who have died during her tenure; a bartender on crying in the walk-in; and a TV critic on the shows that have moved her. Brimming with humanity, this anthology is confirmation that sad happens—but so does joy, love, a sense of community, and a host of other emotions. By turns moving and affirming, Sad Happens is an emotional balm and visual delight.

The TikTok sensation! Pack up the Moon is a heart-wrenching and beautiful story of love in all its forms. Joshua Park never expected to be a widower at the age of thirty. Given his solitary job, small circle of friends and family, and the social awkwardness he's always suffered from, he has no idea how to negotiate this new, unwanted phase of life. But Lauren, his wife, had a plan to keep him moving forward. A plan hidden in the letters she leaves him, giving him a task for every month in the year after her death. It's a journey that will take Joshua from his first outing as a widower to buy groceries... to an attempted dinner party that becomes a comic disaster... to finding a new best friend while weeping in the dressing room of a clothing store. As his grief makes room for new friendships and experiences, Joshua learns Lauren's most valuable lesson: the path to happiness doesn't follow a straight line.

Title: [Spanish] - Lennon Author: David Foenkinos Narrator: David Carrillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: March 23, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Por el autor de La delicadeza y Charlotte, ganador del Premio Renaudot ydel Goncourt des Lycéens entre muchos otros, una singular e imprescindible biografía de John Lennon. UNA DE LAS 30 MEJORES BIOGRAFÍAS SEGÚN ELLE «Es la mayor historia de amor del siglo XX... Puede leerse como un antídoto a la falta de compromiso del ser humano.» David Foenkinos Con una asombrosa investigación a su espalda, y su peculiar sentido del humor, Foenkinos escribe una biografía única, con un Lennon que cuenta en primera persona su infancia, la compleja relación con sus padres, su primer matrimonio, la tormentosa historia de los Beatles, su amor con Yoko Ono y su filosofía de vida. Las palabras e ideas de quien decidió que el mejor modo de conseguir una reacción política era recibir a la prensa sin moverse de su cama cobran, en esta época de crisis, una inusitada actualidad. Críticas: «Una nueva dimensión literaria para un personajes que desborda también los límites de la ficción.» David Morán, ABC Cultural «Lennon retrata el ambiente de una época de grandes esperanzas y dudas existenciales... Una novela que revela tanto a su protagonista como a su autor, lo que la torna aún más conmovedora.» Le Monde «Foenkinos, como Gavalda, como Barbery, consigue ofrecer al lector un poco de oxígeno, de optimismo, en tiempos especialmente sombríos, cargados de preocupación por lo material y donde urge un cambio de valores.» Emma Rodríguez, El Mundo «La primera biografía escrita sobre el genio por una autor de renombre. Una obra para proyectar, esta vez en nuestras mentes, un mundo mejor.» Elle «El escritor [...] se apropia en Lennon de la voz del mito con una verosimilitud pasmosa.» Rolling Stone «Una novela con mucho de biografía o, si lo prefieren, una biografía contada como si fuera una novela... Foenkinos consigue que Lennon suene a Lennon. Toda una proeza.» Antonio Fontana, ABC Cultural «Muy divertida... Un libro que, gracias a una mirada profunda, llega al corazón de la historia y a la mente del hombre de gafas redondas más famoso que Jesucristo... Foenkinos combina brillantemente erudición, imaginación y estilo.» Le Huffington Post «Un verdadero hallazgo. Con su pluma elegante y delicada, Foenkinos nos da una visión completa de Lennon y alcanza, con este tributo, un gran éxito.» Stéphane Focheux, Plume-libre.com «Un gran libro... En algunas escenas nos olvidamos del estilo refinado de este escritor de éxito para sumergirnos en el universo del rock y de los Beatles. Una biografía muy original que todo lector seguro devorará.» Diane Elisabeth Poirier, Guideparismode.fr «El sentido del humor de la estrella está presente, así como su sensibilidad. Una obra maestra.» Julie Locatelli, Muteen David Foenkinos Thu, 23 Mar 2023 07:43:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672035 thebookvoice.com 5:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672035]]> to listen full audiobooks.
