Title: Win Me Something Author: Kyle Lucia Wu Narrator: Natalie Naudus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 37 minutes Release date: November 2, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A perceptive and powerful debut of identity and belonging―of a young woman determined to be seen. Willa Chen has never quite fit in. Growing up as a biracial Chinese American girl in New Jersey, Willa felt both hypervisible and unseen, too Asian to fit in at her mostly white school, and too white to speak to the few Asian kids around. After her parents’ early divorce, they both remarried and started new families, and Willa grew up feeling outside of their new lives, too. For years, Willa does her best to stifle her feelings of loneliness, drifting through high school and then college as she tries to quiet the unease inside her. But when she begins working for the Adriens―a wealthy white family in Tribeca―as a nanny for their daughter, Bijou, Willa is confronted with all of the things she never had. As she draws closer to the family and eventually moves in with them, Willa finds herself questioning who she is, and revisiting a childhood where she never felt fully at home. Self-examining and fraught with the emotions of a family who fails and loves in equal measure, Win Me Something is a nuanced coming-of-age debut about the irreparable fissures between people, and a young woman who asks what it really means to belong, and how she might begin to define her own life.

Title: Love Marriage: A Novel Author: Monica Ali Narrator: Ayesha Dharker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 51 minutes Release date: May 3, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.2 of Total 5 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Named a Best Book of 2022 So Far by The New Yorker! “Cultural clashes, political satire, Oedipal conflicts, elegant prose—they’re all here in this romp of a book.” —Oprah Daily A Phenomenal Book Club Pick and a New York Times Book Review Group Text Selection, Love Marriage is a glorious moving novel from Booker Prize shortlisted Monica Ali, who has “an inborn generosity that cannot be learned” (The New York Times Book Review). In present-day London, Yasmin Ghorami is twenty-six, in training to be a doctor (like her Indian-born father), and engaged to the charismatic, upper-class Joe Sangster, whose formidable mother, Harriet, is a famous feminist. The gulf between families is vast. So, too, is the gulf in sexual experience between Yasmin and Joe. As the wedding day draws near, misunderstandings, infidelities, and long-held secrets upend both Yasmin’s relationship and that of her parents, a “love marriage,” according to the family lore that Yasmin has believed all her life. A gloriously acute observer of class, sexual mores, and the mysteries of the human heart, Monica Ali has written a “riveting” (BookPage, starred review) social comedy and a moving, revelatory story of two cultures, two families, and two people trying to understand one another that’s “sure to please Ali’s fans and win some new ones” (Publishers Weekly).

Title: [Spanish] - Martín Fierro Author: José Hernández Narrator: Martín De Renzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 15, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: El poema nacional por excelencia, la obra cumbre del género gauchesco en su edición definitiva, con prólogo de Carlos Gamerro y notas introductorias de Alejandra Laera (doctora en Letras y profesora adjunta de Literatura Argentina I en la Universidad de Buenos Aires). «Nunca se achican los males / Van poco a poco creciendo, / y ansina me vide pronto / Obligao a andar juyendo / No tenia mujer ni rancho, / Y a más era resertor; / No tenia una prenda güena / Ni un peso en el tirador.» (Canto VII) Escritos en 1872 y 1879, los dos volúmenes que componen el poema épico Martín Fierro son la culminación del género gauchesco y el máximo exponente de la literatura argentina a nivel mundial. A través de la narración de las peripecias del héroe -el gaucho Fierro, uno de los personajes más vitales, brutales y contradictorios de las letras nacionales-, José Hernández pone en evidencia la cruda realidad a la que se veían enfrentados los hombres del siglo XIX enviados a la frontera a luchar contra los indios y denuncia los abusos de poder por parte de un Estado corrupto y arbitrario. «El Martín Fierro se ha entrelazado hasta tal punto con su mundo, que es el nuestro; con nuestra literatura anterior y posterior, nuestra lengua, nuestro pensamiento, nuestra política, nuestros valores y maneras de vivir y sentir y mirar ese mundo, que ya no sabemos si provienen del mundo o del poema.» Del prólogo de Carlos Gamerro José Hernández Tue, 15 Feb 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/570843 thebookvoice.com 6:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/570843]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Tetralogía científica: Copérnico · Kepler · La carta de Newton · Mefisto Author: John Banville Narrator: Esteban Massana, Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 14 minutes Release date: February 3, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras de 2014 «Para John Banville el estilo es la más exacta a la vez que inspirada de las ciencias. Estas cuatro novelas no son solo renovada prueba de ello sino, además, la evidencia incontestable de que la suma de los números y de las letras puede dar resultados revolucionarios.» Rodrigo Fresán En una época de mentes cerradas en la que reinaban el caos y una concepción errónea del universo aceptada desde hacía siglos, unos pocos hombres se atrevieron a cuestionar esa visión, decididos a descubrir y revelar cómo funcionaba el mundo. En Copérnico, novela ganadora del James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Banville evoca la vida de un hombre tímido, desconcertado por las conspiraciones que se desatan a su alrededor y en busca de una verdad que hizo añicos la visión medieval del universo. En Kepler, merecedora del Premio de Ficción de The Guardian, sigue los pasos de uno de los mayores matemáticos y astrónomos, cuyo afán por trazar una carta de las estrellas y los planetas revolucionaría la visión del cosmos que regía la Europa del Renacimiento. En La carta de Newton, un historiador contemporáneo se retira al campo para terminar su biografía de Isaac Newton, pero su libro entra en un bucle cuando se obsesiona con el colapso nervioso que el gran físico y matemático británico sufrió en el verano de 1693 y con la familia que le alquila la cabaña de verano. Finalmente, con Mefisto Banville da una vuelta de tuerca al mito del doctor Fausto y el precio que el científico y el artista deben pagar por su vocación. Cuatro obras ineludibles del premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras reunidas por primera vez en un solo volumen. La crítica ha dicho: «Por su inteligencia minuciosa y su estilo exquisito, John Banville es el heredero de Nabokov». The Telegraph «No se puede decir de muchas novelas históricas que puedan iluminar tanto la época que describe como el tiempo en que son leídas. Copérnico es una de las mejores». The Economist «Copérnico es un tour de force. Una evocación ficticia del gran astrónomo que está espléndidamente escrita, y resulta emocionante y espectacular en su recreación del mundo medieval.» The Times «Banville ilumina de manera soberbia al hombre que fue Kepler, la época y la interminable búsqueda del conocimiento». The Observer «Kepler es arte narrativo de un nivel positivamente sinfónico». The Guardian «La carta de Newton es una obra de arte casi perfecta [...]. Proporciona un placer tan emocionante que resulta imposible concentrarse en otra cosa hasta que se vuelve a leer para confirm si en la segunda lectura parece igual de bueno. Y sí: lo parece Irish Times «En Mefisto, todos los superlativos se quedan cortos [...]. Banville es unestro, un artista prodigioso, casi malévolo». Time Out «Mefisto es una novela excelente, hermosamente escrita. El tipo de libro que tienes que leer más de una vez, algo maravilloso».

Title: Perpetual West Author: Mesha Maren Narrator: Tony Chiroldes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 49 minutes Release date: January 25, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: ​“Stunning . . . A forceful addition to the literature of the U.S.-Mexican border and its ongoing history of tragedy and joy.” —Jennifer Clement, The New York Times Book Review  “Suspenseful, seductive . . . A thrill ride from cover to cover.” —Oprah Daily, “The 50 Most Anticipated Books of 2022”  The riveting new novel by the acclaimed author of Sugar Run, Perpetual West is a brilliant and evocative story of borders—between countries, between lovers, and between facets of the self. When Alex and Elana move from smalltown Virginia to El Paso, they are just a young married couple, intent on a new beginning. Mexican by birth but adopted by white American Pentecostal parents, Alex is hungry to learn about the place where he was born. He spends every free moment across the border in Juárez—perfecting his Spanish, hanging with a collective of young activists, and studying lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) for his graduate work in sociology. Meanwhile Elana, busy fighting her own demons, feels disillusioned by academia and has stopped going to class. And though they are best friends, Elana has no idea that Alex has fallen in love with Mateo, a lucha libre fighter. When Alex goes missing and Elana can’t determine whether he left of his own accord or was kidnapped, it’s clear that neither of them has been honest about who they are. Spanning their journey from Virginia to Texas to Mexico, Mesha Maren’s thrilling follow-up to Sugar Run takes us from missionaries to wrestling matches to a luxurious cartel compound, and deep into the psychic choices that shape our identities. A sweeping novel that tells us as much about our perceptions of the United States and Mexico as it does about our own natures and desires, Perpetual West is a fiercely intelligent and engaging look at the false divide between high and low culture, and a suspenseful story of how harrowing events can bring our true selves to the surface.

Title: To Be Wolves: A Novel of the Vestal Virgins Series: #2 of The Vesta Shadows Trilogy Author: Debra May Macleod Narrator: Esther Wane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 26, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In the stratified world of ancient Rome, there are citizens and slaves, soldiers and senators, priests and priestesses—and Caesar Augustus rules them all. Yet his authority holds only as long as the people believe the gods of Rome support him, particularly the beloved goddess of the home and hearth, Vesta. As chief Vestal Virgin, Pomponia continues to devote her life to protecting her order and the eternal flame of Vesta. She has risen to a position of esteem in Rome and is a valued member of Caesar’s inner circle. But now a contagion ravages the city and tension rises among Rome’s inhabitants. While she struggles to manage the Vestal order and maintain the favor of the goddess, Pomponia must now face a malevolent nobleman, Soren, whose machinations against her threaten not just her friendship with Caesar, but everything she loves. In To Be Wolves, Book Two in the Vesta Shadows series, Debra May Macleod takes us back to her richly crafted and meticulously researched vision of ancient Rome, artfully re-created with both historical and all-new characters, from conniving elites to celebrity slaves. An even bolder offering than its predecessor, this gripping sequel to Brides of Rome explores an even darker side of Rome. The Vesta Shadows trilogy spans decades, from 45 BCE to 14 CE. It follows the life of the Vestal priestess Pomponia Occia, who is inspired by the real Vestal Occia who lived during this time, serving in the Temple of Vesta for more than fifty years. Set during the tumultuous years that saw the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus—and beyond—it dramatizes some of the major historical events that occurred during her lifetime while simultaneously bringing ancient Rome to life with fast-paced, engrossing, and visceral storylines played out by a striking cast of characters.

Title: [German] - Sie nannten ihn Cid - Eine spanische Legende (ungekürzt) Author: Mac P. Lorne Narrator: Reinhard Kuhnert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 18 minutes Release date: December 30, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Spanien im Mittelalter, zwischen 1058 und 1099: Schon früh verdient sich der junge Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, den sie später ehrfürchtig 'El Cid' nennen werden, den Beinamen 'Der Kämpfer', denn keiner kann ihn im ritterlichen Zweikampf besiegen. Doch für den erwachsenen Mann hält das Schicksal Wechselvolles bereit: Sein König, Sancho II. von Kastilien, wird von der eigenen Schwester ermordet. Rodrigo findet zwar in Jimena die Liebe seines Lebens, doch ahnt er nicht, dass sie ihn im Auftrag des neuen Königs ausspionieren soll. Als er auch noch aus dem Königreich Kastilien verbannt und von seiner Familie getrennt wird, errichtet Rodrigo mithilfe maurischer Verbündeter ein eigenständiges Heerfürstentum im Osten Spaniens. Doch dann landet eine gewaltige muslimische Streitmacht aus Nordafrika in Spanien und für El Cid naht die Schlacht um Valencia, die ihn endgültig zur Legende machen wird. Mac P.

Nur einer weiß, wie sie dorthin gelangt sind: Daniel de Foe. London besteht um 1700 aus zwei Städten, in beiden regiert die Gewalt.

Als er herausfindet, wer in London wirklich die Fäden zieht, schlägt er sich gegen die Obrigkeit auf die Seite der Kriminellen – mit dem Beistand seiner klugen Frau Mary de Foe und der impulsiven Margaret «Midge» Crane, dem Mädchen für alles in einem Nobelbordell. Um sich vor seiner Vernichtung zu retten, plant er einen letzten, spektakulären Coup.

Called One of the Best Crime Novels of the Year by New York Times * NPR * New York Post * Washington Post * Buzzfeed * South Florida Sun-Sentinel * Library Journal * CrimeReads From the award-winning author of All Her Little Secrets comes yet another gripping, suspenseful novel where, after the murder of a white man in Jim Crow Mississippi, two Black sisters run away to different parts of the country . . . but can they escape the secrets they left behind? It’s the summer of 1964 and three innocent men are brutally murdered for trying to help Black Mississippians secure the right to vote. Against this backdrop, twenty-one year old Violet Richards finds herself in more trouble than she’s ever been in her life. Suffering a brutal attack of her own, she kills the man responsible. But with the color of Violet’s skin, there is no way she can escape Jim Crow justice in Jackson, Mississippi. Before anyone can find the body or finger her as the killer, she decides to run. With the help of her white beau, Violet escapes. But desperation and fear leads her to hide out in the small rural town of Chillicothe, Georgia, unaware that danger may be closer than she thinks. Back in Jackson, Marigold, Violet’s older sister, has dreams of attending law school. Working for the Mississippi Summer Project, she has been trying to use her smarts to further the cause of the Black vote. But Marigold is in a different kind of trouble: she’s pregnant and unmarried. After news of the murder brings the police to her door, Marigold sees no choice but to flee Jackson too. She heads North seeking the promise of a better life and no more segregation. But has she made a terrible choice that threatens her life and that of her unborn child?  Two sisters on the run—one from the law, the other from social shame.

Written by a novelist with the eye of a poet, and a poet with the narrative powers of a novelist, this is a book that needed to be written, that tells true things, and is entirely its own being.”—Robert Macfarlane, author of The Lost Words and Underland One of the most acclaimed and revered writers of her generation returns with her most ambitious novel yet—an elegant, multi-layered work, rich in imagination and exquisitely told, that interweaves a quartet of journeys across continents and centuries. As emotionally resonant as Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, as inspired as Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land, as inventive as Louisa Hall’s Speak, and as visionary as David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, Everything the Light Touches is Janice Pariat’s magnificent epic of travelers, of discovery, of time, of science, of human connection, and of the impermanent nature of the universe and life itself—a bold and brilliant saga that unfolds through the adventures and experiences of four intriguing characters. Shai is a young woman in modern India. Lost and drifting, she travels to her country’s Northeast and rediscovers, through her encounters with indigenous communities, ways of being that realign and renew her. Evelyn is a student of science in Edwardian England. Inspired by Goethe’s botanical writings, she leaves Cambridge on a quest to wander the sacred forests of the Lower Himalayas. Linnaeus, a botanist and taxonomist who famously declared “God creates; Linnaeus organizes,” sets off on an expedition to an unfamiliar world, the far reaches of Lapland in 1732.  Goethe is a philosopher, writer, and one of the greatest minds of his age. While traveling through Italy in the 1780s, he formulates his ideas for “The Metamorphosis of Plants,” a little-known, revelatory text that challenges humankind’s propensity to reduce plants—and the world—into immutable parts. Drawn richly from scientific and botanical ideas, Everything the Light Touches is a swirl of ever-expanding themes: the contrasts between modern India and its colonial past, urban and rural life, capitalism and centuries-old traditions of generosity and gratitude, script and “song and stone.” Pulsating at its center is the dichotomy between different ways of seeing, those that fix and categorize and those that free and unify. Pariat questions the imposition of fixity—of our obsession to place permanence on plants, people, stories, knowledge, land—where there is only movement, fluidity, and constant transformation. “To be still,” says a character in the book, “is to be without life.” Everything the Light Touches brings together, with startling and playful novelty, people and places that seem, at first, removed from each other in time and place. Yet as it artfully reveals, all is resonance; all is connection.

While traveling through Italy in the 1780s, he formulates his ideas for “The Metamorphosis of Plants,” a little-known, revelatory text that challenges humankind’s propensity to reduce plants—and the world—into immutable parts. Drawn richly from scientific and botanical ideas, Everything the Light Touches is a swirl of ever-expanding themes: the contrasts between modern India and its colonial past, urban and rural life, capitalism and centuries-old traditions of generosity and gratitude, script and “song and stone.” Pulsating at its center is the dichotomy between different ways of seeing, those that fix and categorize and those that free and unify. Pariat questions the imposition of fixity—of our obsession to place permanence on plants, people, stories, knowledge, land—where there is only movement, fluidity, and constant transformation. “To be still,” says a character in the book, “is to be without life.” Everything the Light Touches brings together, with startling and playful novelty, people and places that seem, at first, removed from each other in time and place. Yet as it artfully reveals, all is resonance; all is connection. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/570141]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Written by a novelist with the eye of a poet, and a poet with the narrative powers of a novelist, this is a book that needed to be written, that tells true things, and is entirely its own being.”—Robert Macfarlane, author of The Lost Words and Underland One of the most acclaimed and revered writers of her generation returns with her most ambitious novel yet—an elegant, multi-layered work, rich in imagination and exquisitely told, that interweaves a quartet of journeys across continents and centuries. As emotionally resonant as Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, as inspired as Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land, as inventive as Louisa Hall’s Speak, and as visionary as David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, Everything the Light Touches is Janice Pariat’s magnificent epic of travelers, of discovery, of time, of science, of human connection, and of the impermanent nature of the universe and life itself—a bold and brilliant saga that unfolds through the adventures and experiences of four intriguing characters.

Lost and drifting, she travels to her country’s Northeast and rediscovers, through her encounters with indigenous communities, ways of being that realign and renew her.

Title: Hugh: A Hero without a Novel Author: David Lawrence Narrator: Shaun Grindell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 21 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: This romp through eighteenth-century England is like nothing told in the era of Tom Jones—a sparkling, humorous, and poetical coming-of-age 242 years in the making. From an old family trunk comes a manuscript which never saw the light of day. Its pages tell of the life, times, and blackmail of a young queer aristocrat stepping into 1768 Society . . . A time of wig powder and heeled slippers. Duels and social climbers, when the most popular member of the government is declared an outlaw. Hugh Entwistle enters this world wealthy, witty, and well-connected. Everything to be a success—everything, except that thing stuck to the bottom of his heeled slipper. Hugh's is a story of secret encounters and significant looks. Hushed separations and sobriquets. But if he dares define Liberty, he might be asked to confront a blackmailer. Asked to confront a father. And before he can make a marriage proposal, follow his heart, and accept one. Hugh is a rollicking tale of comic angst, and a celebration of the wit, beauty, and absurdities of a glorious age. Contains mature themes.

'From what is it they flee?' He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, “They killed the King.” 1660 England. General Edward Whalley and his son-in law Colonel William Goffe board a ship bound for the New World. They are on the run, wanted for the murder of King Charles I—a brazen execution that marked the culmination of the English Civil War, in which parliamentarians successfully battled royalists for control. But now, ten years after Charles’ beheading, the royalists have returned to power. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, the fifty-nine men who signed the king’s death warrant and participated in his execution have been found guilty in absentia of high treason. Some of the Roundheads, including Oliver Cromwell, are already dead. Others have been captured, hung, drawn, and quartered. A few are imprisoned for life. But two have escaped to America by boat. In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is charged with bringing the traitors to justice and he will stop at nothing to find them. A substantial bounty hangs over their heads for their capture—dead or alive. . . . Robert Harris’s first historical novel set predominantly in America, Act of Oblivion is a novel with an urgent narrative, remarkable characters, and an epic true story to tell of religion, vengeance, and power—and the costs to those who wield it.

Title: Ten Days That Shook The World: A BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation Author: John Reed Narrator: Nicholas Murchie, Richard Laing, Richard Elfyn, Ewan Bailey, Kelly Burke, Matthew Gravelle, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 56 minutes Release date: July 28, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A dramatised retelling of John Reed's thrilling eyewitness account of the Russian Revolution - plus bonus documentary 'Fizzy and fast, but never flippant' The New Statesman John Reed's first-hand description of the October Revolution was written in early 1918 and published in the USA the following year. The veracity and impact of his dynamic, snapshot-style reportage made the book an instant bestseller, and it has since become a modern classic, inspiring films including Sergei Eisenstein's October and the Oscar-winning Reds. This fast-paced dramatisation begins in autumn 1917, with news of upheaval in Russia hitting the headlines worldwide. The Tsar has abdicated, and the Provisional Government, formed to replace him, is losing control. American journalists John Reed and Louise Bryant arrive in Petrograd to find the city in chaos. The tension between factions is palpable, and it's only a matter of time before the situation explodes - but in what direction? As revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries struggle to seize power, the duo find themselves at the very heart of the insurrection, experiencing history as it unfolds... Vividly capturing the anarchy and confusion of those tumultuous days, Reed's sensational blow-by-blow account, adapted by acclaimed dramatist Robin Brooks, transports us to the chilly, mud-churned streets of Petrograd as these world-changing events play out. It is accompanied by a fascinating retrospective documentary, Start the Week: Russian Revolution a hundred years on, in which Tom Sutcliffe travels to Moscow to discover the forces that led to the Revolution, and finds out how far Russians today embrace or reject such a pivotal moment in their country's story.

Title: The Winter Orphans Author: Kristin Beck Narrator: Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 47 minutes Release date: September 13, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A poignant and ultimately triumphant novel based on the incredible true story of children who braved the formidable danger of guarded, wintry mountain passes in France to escape the Nazis, from the acclaimed author of Courage, My Love. Southern France, 1942 In a remote corner of France, Jewish refugee Ella Rosenthal has finally found a safe haven. It has been three years since she and her little sister, Hanni, left their parents to flee Nazi Germany, and they have been pursued and adrift in the chaos of war ever since. Now, they shelter among one hundred other young refugees in a derelict castle overseen by the Swiss Red Cross.   Swiss volunteers Rösli Näf and Anne-Marie Piguet uphold a common mission: to protect children in peril. Rösli, a stubborn and resourceful nurse, directs the colony of Château de la Hille, and has created a thriving community against all odds. Anne-Marie, raised by Swiss foresters, becomes both caretaker and friend to the children, and she vows to do whatever is necessary to keep them safe.   However, when Germany invades southern France, safeguarding Jewish refugees becomes impossible. Château de la Hille faces unrelenting danger, and Rösli and Anne-Marie realize that the only way to protect the eldest of their charges is to smuggle them out of France. Relying on Rösli's fierce will and Anne-Marie's knowledge of secret mountain paths, they plot escape routes through vast Nazi-occupied territory to the distant border. Amid staggering risk, Ella and Hanni embark on a journey that, if successful, could change the course of their lives and grant them a future.

Title: That Summer in Berlin Author: Lecia Cornwall Narrator: Hannah Curtis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In the summer of 1936, while the Nazis make secret plans for World War II, a courageous and daring young woman struggles to expose the lies behind the dazzling spectacle of the Berlin Olympics.  German power is rising again, threatening a war that will be even worse than the last one. The English aristocracy turns to an age-old institution to stave off war and strengthen political bonds—marriage. Debutantes flock to Germany, including Viviane Alden. On holiday with her sister during the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Viviane’s true purpose is more clandestine. While many in England want to appease Hitler, others seek to prove Germany is rearming. But they need evidence, photographs to tell the tale, and Viviane is a genius with her trusty Leica. And who would suspect a pretty, young tourist taking holiday snaps of being a spy?   Viviane expects to find hatred and injustice, but during the Olympics, with the world watching, Germany is on its best behavior, graciously welcoming tourists to a festival of peace and goodwill. But first impressions can be deceiving, and it’s up to Viviane and the journalist she’s paired with—a daring man with a guarded heart—to reveal the truth.   But others have their own reasons for befriending Viviane, and her adventure takes a darker turn. Suddenly Viviane finds herself caught in a web of far more deadly games—and closer than she ever imagined to the brink of war.

Title: [Spanish] - El espejo de nuestras penas (Los hijos del desastre 3) Series: #3 of Los hijos del desastre Author: Pierre Lemaitre Narrator: Eugenio Gómez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: February 24, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Secretos de familia, personajes colosales, giros inesperados, tragedia y vodevil en una narración poderosa, cierre magistral a la incursión de Lemaitre en la Francia de entreguerras. Esta Primavera de 1940. Louise Belmont, de treinta años, corre desnuda y recubierta de sangre por el bulevar de Montparnasse. Para entender la macabra situación que acaba de vivir, esta joven maestra deberá sumergirse en la locura de un momento histórico sin parangón: mientras las tropas alemanas avanzan de forma implacable hacia París y el ejército francés está en plena desbandada, cientos de miles de personas aterrorizadas huyen en busca de un lugar más seguro. Atrapada en este éxodo sin precedentes, y a merced de las bombas germanas y de los azares del destino, la vida de Louise acabará cruzándose en un campamento del Loira con las de dos soldados desertores de la línea Maginot, un apasionado subteniente fiel a sus principios morales y un histriónico sacerdote capaz de plantar cara al enemigo. La crítica ha dicho... «Una eléctrica novela coral, a caballo entre el género negro y el histórico, ambientada en 1940, cuando los tanques nazis están entrando en París. Un año que guarda inquietantes paralelismos con la actualidad.» El Cultural «Humor, acción a raudales y máxima tensión, con el trasfondo histórico de millones de franceses haciendo de refugiados en su propio país, huyendo al sur por carreteras y caminos.» La Vanguardia «Una novela que hace una magnífica recreación del momento histórico.» El Correo «Pierre Lemaitre paga sus deudas con intereses y devuelve con creces lo que la literatura le ha dado.» Le Monde «Brillante y conmovedora.» Le Figaro «Admirable.» Libération «Nuestro Dumas contemporáneo.» Le Parisien «Además de su talento para construir un relato, la grandeza de Pierre Lemaitre radica en intercalar la dosis justa de lirismo y humor en un argumento trágico.» La Croix «Acción, aventuras, secretos y palabras; y todo ello aderezado con cadencia y vigor.» RTBF «Nadie trabaja sus obras en Francia como Pierre Lemaitre: cincela el texto, lo dota de ritmo, vueltas de tuerca y diálogos expresivos.» Franceinfo Pierre Lemaitre Thu, 24 Feb 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569251 thebookvoice.com 13:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569251]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Question Mark Is Half a Heart Author: Sofia Lundberg Narrator: Joan Walker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: How deeply can you love when your heart is full of secrets?    A sweeping, propulsive family story about a woman learning to love, from the bustle of New York’s fashion scene to a remote, windswept Swedish island, by the acclaimed author of The Red Address Book—“a love letter to the human heart” (Alyson Richman). By age 50, Elin Boals has created for herself a perfect life: her wildly successful business as Manhattan’s preeminent fashion photographer is flourishing. Her handsome, patient husband is devoted to her; her teenaged daughter, Alice, has been accepted to the ballet academy of her dreams. But then Elin receives an innocuous looking envelope. Folded inside is a star-chart, with an address written by a familiar hand. Shaken, Elin begins to have startling flashbacks, to a life very different from the childhood in a Paris bookstore that she has so lovingly recounted to Alice. In these images, a poverty-stricken little girl cares for her two ragged baby brothers, laughing with her family on the good days, sheltering them from her mother’s sadness and her father’s wrath on the bad days. Elin also remembers vivid walks with a young classmate, Fredrik, whose steadfast friendship and starlit confidences shaped her young life. As Elin becomes consumed by these memories, though, her New York life begins to crumble dramatically. Finally, her family’s troubling questions drive her to face, at last, the brutal secret from her past. At once a heartwarming family story and a page-turning mystery, A Question Mark Is Half a Heart traces a surprising journey across continents to reconciliation, and toward finding a true sense of home.

Title: How to Find Your Way in the Dark Series: #1 of A Sheldon Horowitz Novel Author: Derek B. Miller Narrator: Michael Crouch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 23 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER OF THE JEWISH FICTION AWARD FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES ''[Miller’s] character portraits are indelible, often heartbreaking. At times this novel moved me to tears, the highest possible compliment.” —New York Times Book Review With the wit and scope of Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Derek B. Miller tackles his most ambitious epic yet. At its heart is the return of Sheldon Horowitz, the protagonist from Miller’s award-winning first novel, Norwegian by Night, who was lauded by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Richard Russo as “one of the most memorable characters . . . that I’ve encountered in years.” MEET SHELDON IN THE MORNING OF HIS LIFE Twelve-year old Sheldon Horowitz is still recovering from the tragic loss of his mother only a year ago when a suspicious traffic accident steals the life of his father near their home in rural Massachusetts. It is 1938, and Sheldon, who was in the truck, emerges from the crash an orphan hell-bent on revenge. He takes that fire with him to Hartford, where he embarks on a new life under the roof of his buttoned-up Uncle Nate. Sheldon, his teenage cousins Abe and Mirabelle, and his best friend, Lenny, will contend with tradition and orthodoxy, appeasement and patriotism, mafia hitmen and angry accordion players, all while World War II takes center stage alongside a hurricane in New England and comedians in the Catskills. With his eye always on vengeance for his father’s murder, Sheldon stakes out his place in a world he now understands is comprised largely of crimes: right and wrong, big and small. “For me—as I’m certain it will be for every reader of the wonderful Norwegian By Night—Derek B. Miller’s new novel is a genuine literary event (Sheldon Horowitz is back!). Miller has long deserved to be a household name. How to Find Your Way in the Dark should finally make him one.'' —Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and Chances Are... Derek B.

Title: Revelations Author: Mary Sharratt Narrator: Polly Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 33 minutes Release date: April 27, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A fifteenth-century Eat, Pray, Love, Revelations illuminates the intersecting lives of two female mystics who changed history—Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich. Bishop’s Lynn, England, 1413. At the age of forty, Margery Kempe has nearly died giving birth to her fourteenth child. Fearing that another pregnancy might kill her, she makes a vow of celibacy, but she can’t trust her husband to keep his end of the bargain. Desperate for counsel, she visits the famous anchoress Dame Julian of Norwich. Pouring out her heart, Margery confesses that she has been haunted by visceral religious visions. Julian then offers up a confession of her own: she has written a secret, radical book about her own visions, Revelations of Divine Love. Nearing the end of her life and fearing Church authorities, Julian entrusts her precious book to Margery, who sets off the adventure of a lifetime to secretly spread Julian's words. Mary Sharratt vividly brings the medieval past to life as Margery blazes her trail across Europe and the Near East, finding her unique spiritual path and vocation. It's not in a cloistered cell like Julian, but in the full bustle of worldly existence with all its wonders and perils.

Desperate for counsel, she visits the famous anchoress Dame Julian of Norwich. Pouring out her heart, Margery confesses that she has been haunted by visceral religious visions. Julian then offers up a confession of her own: she has written a secret, radical book about her own visions, Revelations of Divine Love. Nearing the end of her life and fearing Church authorities, Julian entrusts her precious book to Margery, who sets off the adventure of a lifetime to secretly spread Julian's words.

Title: The Animals at Lockwood Manor Author: Jane Healey Narrator: Sarah Lambie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 56 minutes Release date: March 10, 2020 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A debut novel for fans of Sarah Perry and Kate Morton: when a young woman is tasked with safeguarding a natural history collection as it is spirited out of London during World War II, she discovers her new manor home is a place of secrets and terror instead of protection. In August 1939, thirty-year-old Hetty Cartwright arrives at Lockwood Manor to oversee a natural history museum collection, whose contents have been taken out of London for safekeeping. She is unprepared for the scale of protecting her charges from party guests, wild animals, the elements, the tyrannical Major Lockwood and Luftwaffe bombs. Most of all, she is unprepared for the beautiful and haunted Lucy Lockwood. For Lucy, who has spent much of her life cloistered at Lockwood suffering from bad nerves, the arrival of the museum brings with it new freedoms. But it also resurfaces memories of her late mother, and nightmares in which Lucy roams Lockwood hunting for something she has lost. When the animals appear to move of their own accord, and exhibits go missing, they begin to wonder what exactly it is that they might need protection from. And as the disasters mount up, it is not only Hetty’s future employment that is in danger, but her own sanity too. There’s something, or someone, in the house. Someone stalking her through its darkened corridors . . .

Title: Members Only Author: Sameer Pandya Narrator: Sunil Malhotra Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 24 minutes Release date: July 7, 2020 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: First the white members of Raj Bhatt’s posh tennis club call him racist. Then his life falls apart. Along the way, he wonders: where does he, a brown man, belong in America? Raj Bhatt is often unsure of where he belongs. Having moved to America from Bombay as a child, he knew few Indian kids. Now middle-aged, he lives mostly happily in California, with a job at a university.  Still, his white wife seems to fit in better than he does at times, especially at their tennis club, a place he’s cautiously come to love.    But it’s there that, in one week, his life unravels. It begins at a meeting for potential new members: Raj thrills to find an African American couple on the list; he dreams of a more diverse club. But in an effort to connect, he makes a racist joke. The committee turns on him, no matter the years of prejudice he’s put up with.  And worse still, he soon finds his job is in jeopardy after a group of students report him as a reverse racist, thanks to his alleged “anti-Western bias.”   Heartfelt, humorous, and hard-hitting, Members Only explores what membership and belonging mean, as Raj navigates the complicated space between black and white America.

Read it, and you'll feel altered, chastened — seared in the fire of something new.” — Washington Post With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man — also named Jonathan Safran Foer — sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior, and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.   As their adventure unfolds, Jonathan imagines the history of his grandfather’s village, conjuring a magical fable of startling symmetries that unite generations across time. As his search moves back in time, the fantastical history moves forward, until reality collides with fiction in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power. “A rambunctious tour de force of inventive and intelligent storytelling . . .

Title: [Spanish] - La guerra del fin del mundo Author: Mario Vargas Llosa Narrator: Ricardo Velásquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 3 minutes Release date: January 20, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: La primera gran novela histórica de Mario Vargas Llosa: un libro fundamental de la narrativa en español del siglo XX «Esta novela me hizo vivir una de las aventuras literarias más ricas y exaltantes». Mario Vargas Llosa «El hombre era alto y tan flaco que parecía siempre de perfil. Su piel era oscura, sus huesos prominentes y sus ojos ardían con fuego perpetuo». A finales del siglo XIX, en las tierras paupérrimas del noreste de Brasil, el chispazo de las arengas del Consejero, personaje mesiánico y enigmático, prenderá la insurrección de los desheredados. En circunstancias extremas como aquéllas, la consecución de la dignidad vital sólo puede venir de la exaltación religiosa y del quebranto radical de las reglas que rigen el mundo de los poderosos. Así, grupos de miserables acuden a la llamada de la revolución de Canudos, la ciudad donde se asienta una comunidad de personajes que difícilmente desaparecerán de la imaginación del lector. Frente a todos ellos, una trama político-militar se articula para detener con toda su fuerza el movimiento que amenaza con expandirse. Publicada originalmente en 1981, La guerra del fin del mundo es la primera gran novela histórica de Mario Vargas Llosa, un libro fundamental de la narrativa en español del siglo XX sobre el que el propio autor ha declarado: «Si yo tuviera que escoger una entre todas las novelas que he publicado, probablemente elegiría ésta, porque la considero el proyecto más ambicioso que me he planteado». La crítica ha dicho: «La escritura de Mario Vargas Llosa ha dado forma a nuestra imagen de Sudamérica y tiene su propio capítulo en la historia de la literatura contemporánea. En sus primeros años, fue un renovador de la novela, hoy, un poeta épico».

Mario Vargas Llosa «El hombre era alto y tan flaco que parecía siempre de perfil. Su piel era oscura, sus huesos prominentes y sus ojos ardían con fuego perpetuo». A finales del siglo XIX, en las tierras paupérrimas del noreste de Brasil, el chispazo de las arengas del Consejero, personaje mesiánico y enigmático, prenderá la insurrección de los desheredados. En circunstancias extremas como aquéllas, la consecución de la dignidad vital sólo puede venir de la exaltación religiosa y del quebranto radical de las reglas que rigen el mundo de los poderosos. Así, grupos de miserables acuden a la llamada de la revolución de Canudos, la ciudad donde se asienta una comunidad de personajes que difícilmente desaparecerán de la imaginación del lector.

Title: Nights of Plague: A novel Author: Orhan Pamuk Narrator: Amira Ghazalla Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 29 hours 8 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From the the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature: Part detective story, part historical epic—a bold and brilliant novel that imagines a plague ravaging a fictional island in the Ottoman Empire. It is April 1900, in the Levant, on the imaginary island of Mingheria—the twenty-ninth state of the Ottoman Empire—located in the eastern Mediterranean between Crete and Cyprus. Half the population is Muslim, the other half are Orthodox Greeks, and tension is high between the two. When a plague arrives—brought either by Muslim pilgrims returning from the Mecca or by merchant vessels coming from Alexandria—the island revolts.  To stop the epidemic, the Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II sends his most accomplished quarantine expert to the island—an Orthodox Christian. Some of the Muslims, including followers of a popular religious sect and its leader Sheikh Hamdullah, refuse to take precautions or respect the quarantine. And then a murder occurs.  As the plague continues its rapid spread, the Sultan sends a second doctor to the island, this time a Muslim, and strict quarantine measures are declared. But the incompetence of the island’s governor and local administration and the people’s refusal to respect the bans doom the quarantine to failure, and the death count continues to rise. Faced with the danger that the plague might spread to the West and to Istanbul, the Sultan bows to international pressure and allows foreign and Ottoman warships to blockade the island. Now the people of Mingheria are on their own, and they must find a way to defeat the plague themselves.  Steeped in history and rife with suspense, Nights of Plague is an epic story set more than one hundred years ago, with themes that feel remarkably contemporary.

Title: Mother Daughter Traitor Spy: A Novel Author: Susan Elia Macneal Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 57 minutes Release date: September 20, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series comes a tantalizing standalone novel inspired by a real-life mother-daughter duo who stumble upon an underground Nazi cell in Los Angeles during the early days of World War II—and find the courage to go undercover. “Stirring . . . Susan Elia MacNeal’s page-turning prose is as entertaining as ever—I was riveted from beginning to end.”—Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network June 1940. France has fallen to the Nazis, and Britain may be next—but to many Americans, the war is something happening “over there.” Veronica Grace has just graduated from college; she and her mother, Violet, are looking for a fresh start in sunny Los Angeles. After a blunder cost her a prestigious career opportunity in New York, Veronica is relieved to take a typing job in L.A.—only to realize that she’s working for one of the area’s most vicious propagandists. Overnight, Veronica is exposed to the dark underbelly of her new home, where German Nazis are recruiting Americans for their devastating campaign. After the FBI dismisses the Graces’ concerns, Veronica and Violet decide to call on an old friend, who introduces them to L.A.’s anti-Nazi spymaster. At once, the women go undercover to gather enough information about the California Reich to take to the authorities. But as the news of Pearl Harbor ripples through the United States, and President Roosevelt declares war, the Grace women realize that the plots they’re investigating are far more sinister than they feared—and even a single misstep could cost them everything. Inspired by the real mother-daughter spy duo who foiled Nazi plots in Los Angeles during WWII, Mother Daughter Traitor Spy is a powerful portrait of family, duty, and deception that raises timeless questions about America—and what it means to have courage in the face of terror.

Title: Destiny of Dreams: Time Is Dear Author: Cathy Burnham Martin Narrator: Cathy Burnham Martin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: January 7, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: What happens when an American girl of Eurasian descent finds herself suddenly immersed in all facets of her Armenian ancestry? “Destiny of Dreams” follows the painfully poignant, true story of a teenager and her grandfather, retracing loving, learning, and terrifying footprints of the past. While survival remains center stage, love and courage must emerge, or all will be both lost and forgotten. The author reveals her Armenian roots in this haunting historical novel, chronicling her family members’ love, strength, and resolve to both survive and thrive in treacherous times. Reflecting the traumas suffered by all people displaced from their original homelands, this Armenian story focuses on one family’s challenge to find light in the dark days of the waning Ottoman Empire. Anyone with the diaspora in their family heritage will relate. Whether thinking of Jewish people from Israel, Africans scattered through slavery, Armenians fleeing annihilation in Turkey, so-called boat people escaping Asia, or Syrians fleeing life-threatening violence in their own nation, humans continue to rise up in the face of the toughest times. Who would emerge from extraordinarily desperate places, and how could they choose to set positive examples of humanity during highly inhumane times? Set in the early 1900s and flashing forward to the 1960s, the story’s themes ring with tolerance and intolerance, dreams and destroyers, family and friends, amidst challenges that eerily parallel life in current judgmental scenarios. Written for Young Adult and Adult audiences, the book contains some explicit descriptions and a couple of disturbing, though not graphic, violent scenes. While not gratuitous, the depictions may be unsuitable for young readers.

Title: [German] - Der Tote in der Black Swan Lane - Ein Fall für Wrexford and Sloane, Band 1 (Ungekürzt) Author: Andrea Penrose Narrator: Omid-Paul Eftekhari Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 47 minutes Release date: December 15, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Ein kaltherziger Mörder macht die Straßen Londons unsicher ... Der erste Fall für Wrexford und Sloane im historischen England. Der Earl von Wrexford verfügt über einen brillanten Verstand, aber Langeweile und Stolz verführen ihn regelmäßig zu rücksichtslosem Verhalten. Als der aufgeblasene Reverend Josiah Holworthy ihn öffentlich anprangert, schlägt Wrexford zurück. Ihr Wortgefecht eskaliert und Londons populärster satirischer Karikaturist A.J. Quill macht beide zum Mittelpunkt seiner neuesten Karikatur. Dann wird der Geistliche tot in einer Kirche aufgefunden - sein Gesicht von Chemikalien verbrannt, seine Kehle von Ohr zu Ohr aufgeschlitzt - und Wrexford findet sich als Hauptverdächtiger wieder. Die eigenständige Künstlerin Charlotte Sloane ist heimlich in die Rolle ihres verstorbenen Ehemannes geschlüpft, indem sie dessen Pseudonym A.J. Quill benutzt. Als Wrexford ihre wahre Identität herausfindet, fürchtet sie, dass dies ihr Verderben sein könnte. Doch stattdessen schließen sich Lord Wrexford und die mysteriöse Mrs. Sloane zusammen, um einen gerissenen Gegner in die Falle zu locken - bevor ein neues Opfer folgt.

Title: Posters of the Moulin Rouge: Eight BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramas based on the characters of Toulouse-Lautrec Author: John Peacock Narrator: Clarence Smith, Julie Covington, Bernard Hill, Angela Pleasence, Bonnie Langford, Miranda Richardson, Full Cast, Dermot Crowley, Frances Barber, Stephen Thorne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 40 minutes Release date: April 7, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Toulouse-Lautrec's iconic Parisian poster stars come to life in these full-cast dramas, set in 19th-century Montmartre 1889, Paris. When Charles Zidler's extravagant pleasure palace, the Moulin Rouge, opens in bohemian Montmartre, he commissions local artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to create a series of posters to promote it. The striking lithographs Henri produces will make his name - and launch the careers of the performers he portrayed. This sparkling collection of plays introduces us to eight of those legendary artistes, whose lives were as vivid as Lautrec's paint. It opens with Yvette Guilbert, the story of a singer whose dreams of wealth and fame lead her to a brand new cabaret on Boulevard de Clichy.... In The Boneless Wonder, we meet can-can dancer Valentin Renaudin. Merely a silhouette in Toulouse-Lautrec's poster, what is he in real life? La Goulue tells the tale of his famous partner, Louise Weber, whose soubriquet reflects her love of food and life. And in Jane Avril, we hear about Henri's muse, whose nickname 'Crazy Jane' didn't simply refer to her exuberant dancing. May Belfort explores the Irish singer turned lady of the night, who relied more on her beauty than her voice. In Footitt and Chocolat, a circus double act is in danger of drifting apart; while in Casque d'Or, a group of passionate revolutionaries make a fatal last stand. Finally, Aristide Bruant sees the socialist club owner becoming a fashionable success - against all his intentions. He needs to find a new direction: as does Yvette Guilbert... Created by award-winning writer John Peacock, these dazzling dramas will transport you to Belle Époque Paris, in all its glamour and decadence. The star casts include Julie Covington as Yvette Guilbert, Frances Barber as La Goulue, Bonnie Langford as May Belfort, Bernard Hill as Aristide Bruant and Miranda Richardson as Marie Briand.

Finally, Aristide Bruant sees the socialist club owner becoming a fashionable success - against all his intentions. He needs to find a new direction: as does Yvette Guilbert... Created by award-winning writer John Peacock, these dazzling dramas will transport you to Belle Époque Paris, in all its glamour and decadence. The star casts include Julie Covington as Yvette Guilbert, Frances Barber as La Goulue, Bonnie Langford as May Belfort, Bernard Hill as Aristide Bruant and Miranda Richardson as Marie Briand.

Title: Rogue Herries: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation Author: Hugh Walpole Narrator: Deborah Berlin, Gavin Muir, Jane Slavin, Mark Bonnar, Jane Whittenshaw, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 48 minutes Release date: June 2, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A BBC Radio adaptation of Hugh Walpole's historical novel, set in the Lake District during the 18th Century 1730. Driven by a wild romantic impulse, Francis Herries uproots his family from Doncaster to the lakeland valley of Borrowdale. Accompanied by his housekeeper/mistress, Alice, they settle in his tumbledown ancestral home, Herries, in the shadow of the Cumberland fells. Proud, stubborn and temperamental, Francis cuts himself off from his brother, spurns his long-suffering wife and becomes embroiled in drink and debauchery. When he sells Alice at Keswick Fair, his reputation is ruined, and the locals dub him 'Rogue' Herries. His fate is sealed when he falls for the flame-haired Mirabelle Starr. They are both vagabonds, both outcasts - but she is thirty years his junior, and does not love him. As Francis struggles with his feelings for Mirabelle, his son David and daughter Deborah have battles of their own to fight. Meanwhile, the Jacobite rising has begun, and Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebel army is at the gates of Carlisle... Described by John Buchan as 'the greatest English novel since Jude the Obscure', Rogue Herries is a sweeping family saga full of romance and drama. This powerful adaptation stars Gavin Muir as Francis, Mark Bonnar as David, Jane Slavin as Alice, Deborah Berlin as Mirabelle and Jane Whittenshaw as Deborah, with a full cast including Stephen Thorne, Hugh Dickson and Gerard McDermott.

Title: Beaumarchais: A BBC Radio 4 comedy drama Author: Craig Warner Narrator: Joanna Monro, Jason O'mara, Henry Goodman, Siobhan Redmond, Ronald Pickup, Bill Nighy, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 55 minutes Release date: April 7, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Henry Goodman stars in this irreverent historical romp, set in 18th-century France When impoverished watchmaker Caron invents a pioneering device that could revolutionise timekeeping, his fortunes begin to change. Marrying a young, upper-class widow, he takes on a new, noble name - de Beaumarchais - and sets out to conquer Louis XV's court. But his attempts to rise through the ranks of Versailles society are blocked by royal clockmaker Lepaute - as well as courtly crushes, rumours of war and illicit printing. In a bid to offset his enormous debts, he takes on a tricky task for the King - but his patron's death presents further challenges, in the form of an unlikely dairymaid, a controversial play and political unrest. Will the storming of the Bastille put paid to his aristocratic ambitions? Created by multi-award-winning playwright Craig Warner, this witty sitcom is based on the real-life story of Pierre-Agustin Caron de Beaumarchais - horologist, playwright, diplomat, arms dealer and spy. Henry Goodman plays our wily hero, and among the star cast are Bill Nighy, Ronald Pickup, Jason O'Mara, Siobhan Redmond and Joanna Monro.

Desde el principio su vida estará marcada por acontecimientos extraordinarios, pues todavía se sienten las ondas expansivas de la Gran Guerra cuando la gripe española llega a las orillas de su país sudamericano natal, casi en el momento exacto de su nacimiento. Gracias a la clarividencia del padre, la familia saldrá indemne de esta crisis para darse de bruces con una nueva, cuando la Gran Depresión altera la elegante vida urbana que Violeta ha conocido hasta ahora. Su familia lo perderá todo y se verá obligada a retirarse a una región salvaje y remota del país. Allí Violeta alcanzará la mayoría de edad y tendrá su primer pretendiente... En una carta dirigida a una persona a la que ama por encima de todas las demás, Violeta rememora devastadores desengaños amorosos y romances apasionados, momentos de pobreza y también de prosperidad, pérdidas terribles e inmensas alegrías. Moldearán su vida algunos de los grandes sucesos de la historia: la lucha por los derechos de la mujer, el auge y caída de tiranos y, en última instancia, no una, sino dos pandemias. Vista con los ojos de una mujer poseedora de una pasión, una determinación y un sentido del humor inolvidables que la sostienen a lo largo de una vida turbulenta, Isabel Allende nos regala, una vez más, una historia épica furiosamente inspiradora y profundamente emotiva.

El hijo del siglo (Premio Strega 2019, uno de los libros del año para Babelia y elogiado por Roberto Saviano como «una obra maestra»), llega la segunda entrega del gran proyecto literario de nuestro tiempo PREMIO EUROPEO DEL LIBRO 2022 Y UNO DE LOS 50 MEJORES LIBROS DE 2021 SEGÚN BABELIA «Constata el talento y la ambición de su autor: [...] su libro es de muy buena literatura.» Patricio Pron, Babelia En 1925, una figura de camisa negra y gesto arrogante comienza a ocupar todos los intersticios de la vida pública italiana. Benito Mussolini, una vez que se ha convertido en el presidente del Consejo más joven de la historia de Italia, se prepara para el siguiente paso del proyecto fascista: fundir su nombre con el de su propio país. Pero la senda del autoritarismo no es sencilla: luchas internas en el partido, durísimas batallas parlamentarias, la amenaza revolucionaria, la necesidad de expandirse territorialmente, una turbulenta vida personal y palaciega, intentos de asesinato y la nueva relación con un joven Herr Hitler, cada vez más popular. Todo para que Mussolini, fascismo e Italia sean uno. Este proceso irá tomando cuerpo hasta que, en 1932, se cumpla una década de la marcha sobre Roma. Pero no hay tiempo para mirar atrás, el futuro parece encerrar una promesa brillante para el fascismo. La crítica ha dicho... «Scurati [combina], con enorme destreza y brillantez, los recursos narrativos de la ficción con la rigurosidad y la profundidad del ensayo histórico. [...] Con una voz omnisciente y un estilo ágil y elegante, que recuerda al de Éric Vuillard, insufla vida a esos documentos dándoles forma literaria. El resultado es una vivísima inmersión en el pasado, en las tripas del fascismo, a la vez que una lúcida reflexión sobre nuestro presente, sobre nuestra actualidad política, infectada de discursos populistas, que podría haber firmado el propio Duce hace casi un siglo.» Carlos Joric, La Vanguardia «Una novela sobre la historia de la historia. Pero que, a la vez, vive en su propio tiempo histórico.» Daniel Verdú, El País «Mussolini y el fascismo aparecen retratados en carne viva. Scurati tiene la virtud de trasladar al lector al epicentro de los años más oscuros del siglo pasado, de hacerle testigo de una gran tragedia colectiva.» David Barreira, El Español «Formidable. [...] Scurati narra con los mejores recursos de la novela lo que un riguroso trabajo de documentación sostiene por debajo. [...] Un escritor infatigable y certero.» Víctor-M. Amela, La Vanguardia «Scurati está escribiendo una novela de miedo. De miedo por el terror que inspira el proceso de captación de la voluntad colectiva que describe. [...] El resultado es, a todas luces, brillante.» Domingo Ródenas de Moya, El Periódico «Scurati ha sido capaz de llegar a las entrañas del fascismo como pocos libros de Historia lo consiguen.» Sergio Ceballos, Público «Se combinan los recursos narrativos de la ficción y la rigurosidad del ensayo histórico con un estilo ágil y elegante a la manera de Éric Vuillard para construir una vivísima inmersión en el pasado y una reflexión sobre nuestro presente, sobre nuestra actualidad política contaminada de discursos populistas que podría haber pronunciado el mismo Mussolini hace casi un siglo.» Joric, Jenesaispop «La mejor vacuna narrativa de la que disponemos contra el populismo.» Sette – Corriere della Sera Antonio Scurati Thu, 27 Jan 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568030 thebookvoice.com 18:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568030]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: City of Incurable Women Author: Maud Casey Narrator: Hope Newhouse Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 58 minutes Release date: February 22, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In a fusion of fact and fiction, nineteenth-century women institutionalized as hysterics reveal what history ignored “City of Incurable Women is a brilliant exploration of the type of female bodily and psychic pain once commonly diagnosed as hysteria—and the curiously hysterical response to it commonly exhibited by medical men. It is a novel of powerful originality, riveting historical interest, and haunting lyrical beauty.” —Sigrid Nunez, author of The Friend and What Are You Going Through “Where are the hysterics, those magnificent women of former times?” wrote Jacques Lacan. Long history’s ghosts, marginalized and dispossessed due to their gender and class, they are reimagined by Maud Casey as complex, flesh-and-blood people with stories to tell. These linked, evocative prose portraits, accompanied by period photographs and medical documents both authentic and invented, poignantly restore the humanity to the nineteenth-century female psychiatric patients confined in Paris’s Salpêtrière hospital and reduced to specimens for study by the celebrated neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot and his male colleagues. Maud Casey is the author of five books of fiction, including The Man Who Walked Away, and a work of nonfiction, The Art of Mystery: The Search for Questions. A Guggenheim Fellow and recipient of the St. Francis College Literary Prize, she teaches at the University of Maryland.

She begins a book of last letters: messages to be sent on to wounded soldiers’ loved ones should the very worst come to pass, so that no one is left without a final goodbye. But one message will change Elsie’s life forever. When a patient makes a devastating request, can Elsie find the strength to do the unthinkable? London, present day Stephanie has a lot of people she’d like to speak to: her estranged brother, to whom her last words were in anger; her nan, whose dementia means she is only occasionally lucid enough to talk. When she discovers a book of wartime letters, Stephanie realises the importance of our final words – and uncovers the story of a secret love, a desperate choice, and the unimaginable courage of the woman behind it all… A moving and compelling historical novel from the author of The Girl in the Picture, perfect for fans of The Nightingale and The Keeper of Happy Endings.

When he draws attention from one of Hester’s favorite students, the prim Mrs. Poitevant forcefully puts a stop to it—and falls victim to his charms herself. Adrian, meanwhile, is not fooled by the feisty widow’s facade. Intrigued, the clever rogue is determined to uncover what Hester is hiding in more ways . . . than one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567640 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567640]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Nurse’s Secret Author: Amanda Skenandore Narrator: Vanessa Johansson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: In the slums of 1880s New York, Una Kelly has grown up to be a rough-and-tumble grifter, able to filch a pocketbook in five seconds flat. But when another con-woman pins her for a murder she didn't commit, Una is forced to flee. Running from the police, Una lies her way into an unlikely refuge: the nursing school at Bellevue Hospital. Based on Florence Nightingale's nursing principles, Bellevue is the first school of its kind in the country. Where once nurses were assumed to be ignorant and unskilled, Bellevue prizes discipline, intellect, and moral character, and only young women of good breeding need apply. At first, Una balks at her prim classmates and the doctors' endless commands. Yet life on the streets has prepared her for the horrors of injury and disease found on the wards, and she slowly gains friendship and self-respect. Just as she finds her footing, Una's suspicions about a patient's death put her at risk of exposure, and will force her to choose between her instinct for self-preservation, and exposing her identity in order to save others.

Title: The Warrior Poet Series: #3 of The Faery Rehistory Series Author: Sharon Lynn Fisher Narrator: Alison Mckenna, Alan Smyth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 2 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: They searched for each other in dreams. Then they traveled through time to save Ireland. Portland book artist Neve Kelly is having weird visions—vivid daydreams of lovers on a battlefield that yank her out of reality. A couple weeks before Halloween, a confused, strangely dressed man appears in her living room. He drops a slip of paper that describes a dream much like her own before disappearing without a trace. Will Yeats has had enough of heroics. With the peace between Ireland and its enemies restored, he plans to spend the next decade quietly writing his Irish fairy history. But suddenly he’s time traveling again. He briefly visits the home of an intriguing stranger, who appears to be American. The next time he’s drawn there, he finds her being sucked through a ghastly hole in her ceiling. Will saves Neve by carrying her back to 1888 Ireland, where he learns that not only is she from more than a century in the future but from a parallel world where fairies and Tuatha De Danaan heroes are no more than myth. Their dreams of ancient lovers have brought them together … but why? Dark portents surround them—portents bearing the mark of the Morrigan’s meddling—and they soon discover it’s all part of a sinister scheme to seize the throne of Ireland. And the love story from their dreams has begun to manifest in the present moment. Will’s friends—Irish Queen Isolde and her allies—are depending on Will and Neve to connect with the past in order to save Ireland. But can anything save them from the violent end that their dreams have foreshadowed?

Title: [Spanish] - La sociedad Jane Austen Author: Natalie Jenner Narrator: Ana Cristina Doñoro Rodríguez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: January 17, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Justo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en el pequeño pueblo inglés de Chawton, un grupo inusual pero afín de personas se unen para intentar algo notable. Hace ciento cincuenta años, Chawton fue el último hogar de Jane Austen, una de las mejores novelistas de Inglaterra. Ahora es el hogar de unos parientes lejanos y su patrimonio en declive. Con la última parte del legado de Austen amenazado, un grupo de individuos dispares se unen para preservar tanto la casa de Jane Austen como su legado. Estas personas —un obrero, una viuda joven, el médico local y una estrella de cine, entre otros— no podían ser más diferentes y, sin embargo, están unidas en su amor por las obras y palabras de Austen. A medida que cada uno de ellos soporta su propia lucha silenciosa con la pérdida y el trauma, algunos de la guerra reciente, otros de tragedias más distantes, se reúnen para crear la Sociedad Jane Austen. Una novela poderosa y conmovedora que explora las tragedias y triunfos de la vida, tanto grandes como pequeñas, y la humanidad universal en todos nosotros, La sociedad Jane Austen de Natalie Jenner está destinada a resonar entre los lectores en los próximos años.

Nick Marzek, 43, gebürtiger Berliner, ist seit Kurzem Kriminalkommissar bei der Münchner Polizei. Nach dem Tod seiner Frau versucht er sich im Reich von Franz Josef Strauß und dessen CSU ein neues Leben aufzubauen. Mit bescheidenem Erfolg. Da ereignet sich ein verheerender Brandanschlag auf die Diskothek Liverpool im Bahnhofsviertel. Es gibt zahlreiche Verletzte, und der Druck auf die ermittelnden Beamten ist groß. Alles deutet auf Revierkämpfe im Rotlichtmilieu hin. Doch der Fall nimmt eine unerwartete Wendung: Von der italienischen Polizei wird den Ermittlern ein Bekennerschreiben zugeschickt, und Nick bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als dem Hinweis nachzugehen. Er muss nach Italien. Hilfe bekommt er dabei von Graziella Altieri, die bei der Mordkommission eigentlich als Reinigungskraft arbeitet, nun aber als Übersetzerin einspringt. Nick und Graziella beginnen in Mailand mit ihren Nachforschungen – und müssen erkennen, dass der Fall eine politische Dimension hat.

Title: Black Shield Maiden Author: Willow Smith, Jess Hendel Narrator: Willow Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 23 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From Willow Smith and Jess Hendel comes a powerful and groundbreaking historical saga about an African warrior in the world of the Vikings. “Intimate, tender, and fiercely epic.”—Tomi Adeyemi, author of Children of Blood and Bone Lore, legend, and history tell us of the Vikings: warrior kings on epic journeys of conquest and plunder. But the stories we know are not the only stories to tell. There is another story, one that has been lost to the mists of time: the saga of the dark queen. This saga begins with Yafeu, a defiant yet fiercely compassionate young warrior who is stolen from her home in the flourishing Ghānaian empire and taken to a distant kingdom in the North. There she is thrust into a strange, cold world of savage shield maidens, tyrannical rulers, and mysterious gods. And there she also finds something unexpected: a kindred spirit. She comes to serve Freydis, a shy princess who couldn’t be more different from the confident and self-possessed Yafeu. But they both want the same thing: to forge their own fate. Yafeu inspires Freydis to dream of a future greater than the one that the king and queen have forced upon her. And with the princess at her side, Yafeu learns to navigate this new world and grows increasingly determined to become one of the legendary shield maidens—to fight not only for her freedom but for the freedom of others. Yafeu may have lost her home, but she still knows who she is, and she’s not afraid to be the flame that burns a city to the ground so a new world can rise from the ashes. She will alter the course of history—and become the revolutionary heroine of her own myth.

England, 2014: Audrey Collins knows only two things about her beloved grandmother's past: She was born into nobility and she immigrated to America at seventeen years old. So when Audrey inherits her gran's home in North Yorkshire, she arrives expecting a sprawling country estate fit for lords and ladies. Instead, she finds an abandoned stone cottage perfectly preserved as Gran left it when she fled in 1941—ration book and all—and begins to uncover what secrets her family has been keeping.    France, 1915: Lady Emilie Dawes is working as a nurse on the Western Front, grateful to have escaped the restraints of her restrictive, privileged home life. But the independence she fought hard to earn is suddenly jeopardized when a familiar man shows up in one of her hospital beds. Facing him means facing her past, and the decisions she had made in fear. As the war rages around her, Emilie realizes she cannot continue running from who she is until she decides who she truly wants to be.   Over a hundred years apart, Audrey and Emilie each struggle to find purpose, love, and a place to call home in this enchanting family saga celebrating the courage of underestimated women—and the power a secret can hold across generations.

Title: Nuremberg: The Trial of the Nazi War Criminals: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama Author: Jonathan Myerson Narrator: Natalie Dormer, Freddie Fox, Henry Goodman, Alex Kingston, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 37 minutes Release date: May 5, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A 16-part dramatised reconstruction of a landmark moment in history - the groundbreaking trial of the 22 most notorious Nazi war criminals Summer, 1945. The war is over, and Germany has surrendered. Across Europe, the top surviving Nazis are being tracked down, arrested, and imprisoned in a once-opulent Luxembourg hotel, on 24-hour suicide watch. Now, the Allies must decide what to do with them. After much deliberation, Britain, America, Russia and France agree that Hitler's high command must be formally tried. This will be an entirely new kind of trial, with utterly new charges: those of 'Crimes against Humanity' and 'Genocide'. And before it can even take place, numerous crises and obstacles must be overcome... As court proceedings finally get underway, the enormity of the Nazis' crimes is revealed via a mountain of documentary evidence: and chilling footage of the concentration camps. Over the next 218 days, the accused - among them Hitler's architect and close ally, Albert Speer, and deputy Hermann Goering - are cross-examined, and forced to admit to the shabby gangsterism of the Nazi war machine. With the judges' verdict imminent, who will be executed, and who acquitted? Featuring a stellar cast, including Henry Goodman, Freddie Fox, Alex Kingston and Natalie Dormer, Jonathan Myerson's epic series brings the process alive from the ground up. We see the trial - and the events leading up to it - through the eyes of some of the myriad individuals involved: the US Army officer guarding the cells; the Russian interpreter translating the indictments; the psychologist who runs tests on the defendants, hoping to find the mystery of human evil; and the young German girl working in the court cafeteria, who must come to terms with her country's collective guilt. Drawing on eyewitness testimony, contemporary reports, over 20 volumes of court transcripts and more than 2000 hours of audio and newsreel, this comprehensive drama gives us a fresh understanding of the immense achievement of those who fought for justice in 'the last battle of World War II' - and reveals how that phenomenal historical moment shaped our world today. Also included is a bonus interview in which Jonathan Myerson discusses the writing of Nuremberg with Kristan McMahon of the Robert H. Jackson Center.

The war is over, and Germany has surrendered. Across Europe, the top surviving Nazis are being tracked down, arrested, and imprisoned in a once-opulent Luxembourg hotel, on 24-hour suicide watch. Now, the Allies must decide what to do with them. After much deliberation, Britain, America, Russia and France agree that Hitler's high command must be formally tried. This will be an entirely new kind of trial, with utterly new charges: those of 'Crimes against Humanity' and 'Genocide'. And before it can even take place, numerous crises and obstacles must be overcome... As court proceedings finally get underway, the enormity of the Nazis' crimes is revealed via a mountain of documentary evidence: and chilling footage of the concentration camps. Over the next 218 days, the accused - among them Hitler's architect and close ally, Albert Speer, and deputy Hermann Goering - are cross-examined, and forced to admit to the shabby gangsterism of the Nazi war machine. With the judges' verdict imminent, who will be executed, and who acquitted? Featuring a stellar cast, including Henry Goodman, Freddie Fox, Alex Kingston and Natalie Dormer, Jonathan Myerson's epic series brings the process alive from the ground up. We see the trial - and the events leading up to it - through the eyes of some of the myriad individuals involved: the US Army officer guarding the cells; the Russian interpreter translating the indictments; the psychologist who runs tests on the defendants, hoping to find the mystery of human evil; and the young German girl working in the court cafeteria, who must come to terms with her country's collective guilt. Drawing on eyewitness testimony, contemporary reports, over 20 volumes of court transcripts and more than 2000 hours of audio and newsreel, this comprehensive drama gives us a fresh understanding of the immense achievement of those who fought for justice in 'the last battle of World War II' - and reveals how that phenomenal historical moment shaped our world today. Also included is a bonus interview in which Jonathan Myerson discusses the writing of Nuremberg with Kristan McMahon of the Robert H. Jackson Center.

Title: When Two Feathers Fell From The Sky Author: Margaret Verble Narrator: Caroline Slaughter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Louise Erdrich meets Karen Russell in this deliciously strange and daringly original novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Margaret Verble: set in 1926 Nashville, it follows a death-defying young Cherokee horse-diver who, with her companions from the Glendale Park Zoo, must get to the bottom of a mystery that spans centuries.    Two Feathers, a young Cherokee horse-diver on loan to Glendale Park Zoo from a Wild West show, is determined to find her own way in the world. Two’s closest friend at Glendale is Hank Crawford, who loves horses almost as much as she does. He is part of a high-achieving, land-owning Black family. Neither Two nor Hank fit easily into the highly segregated society of 1920s Nashville. When disaster strikes during one of Two’s shows, strange things start to happen at the park. Vestiges of the ancient past begin to surface, apparitions appear, and then the hippo falls mysteriously ill. At the same time, Two dodges her unsettling, lurking admirer and bonds with Clive, Glendale’s zookeeper and a World War I veteran, who is haunted—literally—by horrific memories of war. To get to the bottom of it, an eclectic cast of park performers, employees, and even the wealthy stakeholders must come together, making When Two Feathers Fell from the Sky an unforgettable and irresistible tale of exotic animals, lingering spirits, and unexpected friendship.

Title: Marmee: A Novel Author: Sarah Miller Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 25, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: From the author of Caroline, a revealing retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved Little Women, from the perspective of Margaret “Marmee” March, about the larger real-world challenges behind the cozy domestic concerns cherished by generations of readers. In 1861, war is raging in the South, but in Concord, Massachusetts, Margaret March has her own battles to fight. With her husband serving as an army chaplain, the comfort and security of Margaret’s four daughters— Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—now rest on her shoulders alone. Money is tight and every month, her husband sends less and less of his salary with no explanation. Worst of all, Margaret harbors the secret that these financial hardships are largely her fault, thanks to a disastrous mistake made over a decade ago which wiped out her family’s fortune and snatched away her daughters’ chances for the education they deserve.  Yet even with all that weighs upon her, Margaret longs to do more—for the war effort, for the poor, for the cause of abolition, and most of all, for her daughters. Living by her watchwords, “Hope and keep busy,” she fills her days with humdrum charity work to keep her worries at bay. All of that is interrupted when Margaret receives a telegram from the War Department, summoning her to her husband’s bedside in Washington, D.C. While she is away, her daughter Beth falls dangerously ill, forcing Margaret to confront the possibility that the price of her own generosity toward others may be her daughter’s life. A stunning portrait of the paragon of virtue known as Marmee, a wife left behind, a mother pushed to the brink, a woman with secrets. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

With her husband serving as an army chaplain, the comfort and security of Margaret’s four daughters— Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—now rest on her shoulders alone. Money is tight and every month, her husband sends less and less of his salary with no explanation. Worst of all, Margaret harbors the secret that these financial hardships are largely her fault, thanks to a disastrous mistake made over a decade ago which wiped out her family’s fortune and snatched away her daughters’ chances for the education they deserve.  Yet even with all that weighs upon her, Margaret longs to do more—for the war effort, for the poor, for the cause of abolition, and most of all, for her daughters. Living by her watchwords, “Hope and keep busy,” she fills her days with humdrum charity work to keep her worries at bay. All of that is interrupted when Margaret receives a telegram from the War Department, summoning her to her husband’s bedside in Washington, D.C. While she is away, her daughter Beth falls dangerously ill, forcing Margaret to confront the possibility that the price of her own generosity toward others may be her daughter’s life. A stunning portrait of the paragon of virtue known as Marmee, a wife left behind, a mother pushed to the brink, a woman with secrets. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: [Russian] - Год чудес Author: джералдин брукс Narrator: анастасия шумилкина Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 28, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: «Год чудес» Джералдин Брукс – яркая, потрясающе актуальная и неожиданно утешительная история о катастрофической эпидемии чумы. 1665 – страшный год, год Великой лондонской чумы. Чудовищная эпидемия неуклонно, но до поры до времени тихо расползается по стране, и вместе с зараженным тюком ткани попадает в маленькую деревушку. Священник говорит, что болезнь – это испытание, посланное Богом, и местные жители решают изолироваться в своей деревне, чтобы не нести заразу дальше. Ужас нарастает постепенно, и вот уже людям остается только молиться. Чума не берет молодую вдову, служанку Анну, которая вместе с женой священника начинает ухаживать за умирающими. Но порой неизвестно, что смертельней: сама эпидемия или суеверия и всепоглощающий страх, который охватывает жителей. В деревушке начинается жестокая охота на ведьм… Но самоотверженность, стойкость и милосердие способны превратить самый жуткий год – в год чудес. Пресса о книге: «Блестящий роман. Глубокое литературное погружение в историю о том, как катастрофа меняет людей» The New Yorker «Джерладин Брукс – очень талантливая рассказчица, ее книга о том, что невежество, ненависть и недоверие могут быть такими же смертельными, как и любой вирус... «Год чудес» сам по себе является чудом» People джералдин брукс Tue, 28 Dec 2021 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565924 thebookvoice.com 9:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565924]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Much Ado About Dukes Series: #2 of Never a Wallflower Author: Eva Devon Narrator: Sasha Higgins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 23, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: As far as William Easton—the Duke of Blackheath—is concerned, love can go to the devil. Why would a man need passion when he has wealth, a stately home, and work to occupy his mind? But no one warned the duke that a fiery and frustratingly strong-willed activist like Lady Beatrice Haven can also be a stunning dark-haired siren who tempts a man’s mind, body, and soul. Lady Beatrice is determined to never marry—ever. She would much rather fight for the rights of women and provoke the darkly handsome Duke of Blackheath, even if he does claim to be forward-thinking. After all, dukes—even gorgeous ones—are the enemy. So why does she feel such enjoyment from their heated exchanges? But everything changes when Beatrice finds herself suddenly without fortune, a husband, or even a home. Now her future depends on the very man who sets her blood boiling. Because in order to protect his esteemed rival, the Duke of Blackheath has asked for Beatrice’s hand, inviting his once-enemy into his home... and his bed.

Title: The Best of Thomas Hardy Author: Thomas Hardy Narrator: Joe Jameson, Jilly Bond Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 39 minutes Release date: February 1, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: This collection includes two of the most notable titles from author Thomas Hardy, Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd. Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of an impoverished family, must navigate a world of desire and romance once she meets Alec d'Urberville. The son of a rich widow, he takes a fancy to her and gets her a position as the poultry keeper on his family's estate. However, her good fortune is soon complicated by Alec's libertine ways, and Tess returns home shamed. Once recovered, she separates herself from the gossip by finding work at a dairy farm outside the village. There, she meets and falls for Angel Clare, the eligible youngest son of the local reverend. But as her life begins to change for the better, she is troubled by a moral dilemma: whether or not to tell Angel about her past. Gabriel Oak is a shepherd struggling to get ahead when Bathsheba Everdene moves next door. Although he loves her, she sees him as a friend and rejects him for two other suitors. After she leaves town, she and Gabriel are reunited years later, once everything has changed. In this classic novel, Thomas Hardy depicts the English countryside as idyllic but also hard and unforgiving, much like the Victorian mindsets of the day.

Title: [Russian] - Осада, или Шахматы со смертью Author: артуро перес-реверте Narrator: владимир голицын Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 6 minutes Release date: December 23, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 1811-1812 год. Кадис, последний оплот испанцев, сражающихся за свою независимость, осажден французами. Войска Жозефа Бонапарта планомерно обстреливают город, и, странное дело, именно в тех местах, куда попадают снаряды, происходит серия жестоких убийств молодых девушек. Рохелио Тисон, комиссар местной полиции, не отличающийся мягкостью нрава, вместе с Ипполитом Баррулем, партнером комиссара по шахматам, разыскивают таинственного убийцу… Роман Переса-Реверте — острая, на грани жизни и смерти, напряженная, местами безумная многоходовая шахматная партия, фигуры в которой непредсказуемы, а результат игры может изменить не только судьбу героев, но и ход мировой истории. Сам писатель, автор таких международных бестселлеров, как «Фламандская доска», «Клуб Дюма» (литературная основа «Девятых врат» Романа Полански с Джонни Деппом), цикла романов о приключениях капитана Алатристе (экранизация с Виго Мортенсеном) и многих других, так рассказывает о книге: «Технически это мой самый сложный роман, с самой разветвленной структурой… Я спустя двадцать лет словно опять вернулся к моим старым романам. Здесь есть и политическая интрига со шпионажем, и расследование, и любовная линия, и морские сражения, и приключения». артуро перес-реверте Thu, 23 Dec 2021 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565530 thebookvoice.com 25:6:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565530]]> to listen full audiobooks.

La historia de un niño huérfano y acosado que acabaría siendo el gran vencedor de Las Navas de Tolosa.

Su tío, el rey de León, ve en esto una oportunidad para tener Castilla bajo su control.

Cuando por fin deban separarse, Alfonso VIII le encargará una tarea secreta: será sus ojos y oídos por toda Castilla, para informarle de aquello que los poderosos le ocultan. El rey pequeño está ambientada en una etapa clave de la Reconquista, la que culminó en la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa.

Title: Heartstone Series: #1 of Heartstone Series Author: Elle Katharine White Narrator: Billie Fulford-Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 49 minutes Release date: September 20, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A debut historical fantasy that recasts Jane Austen’s beloved Pride & Prejudice in an imaginative world of wyverns, dragons, and the warriors who fight alongside them against the monsters that threaten the kingdom: gryphons, direwolves, lamias, banshees, and lindworms. They say a Rider in possession of a good blade must be in want of a monster to slay—and Merybourne Manor has plenty of monsters. Passionate, headstrong Aliza Bentaine knows this all too well; she’s already lost one sister to the invading gryphons. So when Lord Merybourne hires a band of Riders to hunt down the horde, Aliza is relieved her home will soon be safe again. Her relief is short-lived. With the arrival of the haughty and handsome dragonrider, Alastair Daired, Aliza expects a battle; what she doesn’t expect is a romantic clash of wills, pitting words and wit against the pride of an ancient house. Nor does she anticipate the mystery that follows them from Merybourne Manor, its roots running deep as the foundations of the kingdom itself, where something old and dreadful slumbers . . . something far more sinister than gryphons. It’s a war Aliza is ill-prepared to wage, on a battlefield she’s never known before: one spanning kingdoms, class lines, and the curious nature of her own heart. Elle Katharine White infuses elements of Austen’s beloved novel with her own brand of magic, crafting a modern epic fantasy that conjures a familiar yet wondrously unique new world.

Title: The Night Before Morning Author: Alistair Moffat Narrator: Grant Cartwright Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 34 minutes Release date: March 1, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: June 1945. Hitler has triumphed, Britain is under German occupation and America cowers under the threat of nuclear attack. In the dead of night, a figure flits through the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, searching for a hidden document he knows could change the course of history. The journal he discovers, by a young soldier, David Erskine, records an extraordinary story. When the Allies drive the Germans out of France and victory seems imminent, Erskine is in Antwerp, where he witnesses a world-changing reversal of fortune. From a high vantage point, he watches a huge mushroom cloud rise over London: an atomic bomb has been detonated by the Germans in a last desperate roll of the dice. Captor becomes captive and Erskine is held as a POW in his own land. As the brutal grip of the occupying forces tightens, he is determined to join the resistance. A daring escape leads him and his fiancée Katie on a breathless chase to the university town of St. Andrews, where the Germans have established a secret research laboratory. When it becomes clear what its purpose is, David, Katie, and their small, trusted band must adopt a desperate and audacious plan to thwart Nazi domination . . .

Title: Song at Dawn: 1150 in Provence Series: #1 of The Troubadours Author: Jean Gill Narrator: Jake Urry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 48 minutes Release date: April 18, 2018 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 1150 in Provence, where making love and making paper are both crimes against the Church. Like 'Game of Thrones' with real history. Book 1 of the multi-award-winning epic medieval Historical Fiction series 'The Troubadours'. Estela wants to be Queen Aliénor’s troubadour and ex-crusader Dragonetz los Pros is commanded to teach her. In a world where love and marriage are as divided as Christian, Muslim and Jew, personal and political passions create deadly enemies. On the run from abuse, Estela wakes in a ditch with only her lute, her amazing voice, and a dagger hidden in her underskirt. Her talent finds a patron in Aliénor of Aquitaine and more than a music tutor in the Queen's finest troubadour and Commander of the Guard, Dragonetz los Pros. Their enemies gather, ready to light the political and religious powder-keg of medieval Narbonne. Set in the period following the Second Crusade, Jean Gill's spellbinding romantic thrillers evoke medieval France with breathtaking accuracy. The characters leap off the page and include amazing women like Eleanor of Aquitaine and Ermengarda of Narbonne, who shaped history in battles and in bedchambers. 'Historical Fiction at its best.'

Nathan Silverman grew up in Berlin in the 1920s, the son of a homemaker and a theoretical physicist. His idyllic childhood was soon marred by increasing levels of bigotry against his family and the rest of the Jewish community, and after his uncle is arrested on Kristallnacht, he leaves Germany for New York City with only his mother’s wedding ring to sell for survival. While attending an evening course at Columbia in 1941, Nathan notices a recruitment poster on a university wall and decides to enlist in the military and help fight the Nazi regime. To his surprise, he is quickly selected for a special assignment; he is trained as a spy, and ordered to report to the Manhattan Project. There he learns that the Allies are racing to develop a nuclear weapon before the Nazis, and a German theoretical physicist is hoping to defect.

Nathan will be accompanied by Dr. Allison Fisher, a brilliant young scientist who can speak French; he travels to her lab at the University of Chicago for a crash course in nuclear physics, then they embark on their adventure. Nathan and Allison soon develop feelings for one another, but as their relationship deepens they move ever closer to their dangerous goal.

Is finding true love a calling or a curse? Even as a child in 1910, Sara Glikman knows her gift: she is a maker of matches and a seeker of soulmates. But among the pushcart-crowded streets of New York’s Lower East Side, Sara’s vocation is dominated by devout older men—men who see a talented female matchmaker as a dangerous threat to their traditions and livelihood. After making matches in secret for more than a decade, Sara must fight to take her rightful place among her peers, and to demand the recognition she deserves. Two generations later, Sara’s granddaughter, Abby, is a successful Manhattan divorce attorney, representing the city’s wealthiest clients. When her beloved Grandma Sara dies, Abby inherits her collection of handwritten journals recording the details of Sara’s matches. But among the faded volumes, Abby finds more questions than answers. Why did Abby’s grandmother leave this library to her and what did she hope Abby would discover within its pages? Why does the work Abby once found so compelling suddenly feel inconsequential and flawed? Is Abby willing to sacrifice the career she’s worked so hard for in order to keep her grandmother’s mysterious promise to a stranger? And is there really such a thing as love at first sight?

But among the pushcart-crowded streets of New York’s Lower East Side, Sara’s vocation is dominated by devout older men—men who see a talented female matchmaker as a dangerous threat to their traditions and livelihood. After making matches in secret for more than a decade, Sara must fight to take her rightful place among her peers, and to demand the recognition she deserves. Two generations later, Sara’s granddaughter, Abby, is a successful Manhattan divorce attorney, representing the city’s wealthiest clients. When her beloved Grandma Sara dies, Abby inherits her collection of handwritten journals recording the details of Sara’s matches. But among the faded volumes, Abby finds more questions than answers. Why did Abby’s grandmother leave this library to her and what did she hope Abby would discover within its pages? Why does the work Abby once found so compelling suddenly feel inconsequential and flawed? Is Abby willing to sacrifice the career she’s worked so hard for in order to keep her grandmother’s mysterious promise to a stranger? And is there really such a thing as love at first sight?

Title: [Spanish] - Los colores del incendio (Los hijos del desastre 2) Series: #2 of Los hijos del desastre Author: Pierre Lemaitre Narrator: Diego Rousselon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 47 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Con la fuerza arrolladora de un torbellino, Los colores del incendio trenza magistralmente la venganza implacable de una mujer a la par que ofrece un retrato soberbio de una época embarullada y vertiginosa. Ambientada entre 1927 y 1933, esta continuación de las peripecias de la familia Péricourt se inicia con el funeral del patriarca Marcel, una ceremonia multitudinaria a la que asiste todo aquel que es, o aspira a ser, alguien en París. Sin embargo, las cosas no pintan demasiado bien para Madeleine, la heredera del ingente patrimonio familiar. Al suicidio de su hermano Édouard, el héroe desfigurado, el encarcelamiento de su ex marido estafador y la muerte de su padre, se añade la delicada situación de su hijo Paul, un niño de siete años que acaba de sufrir un horrible percance. Así, en este momento tan vulnerable de su vida, Madeleine debe ponerse al mando de una entidad financiera con la más que dudosa ayuda de un apoderado resentido, un tío codicioso y gris con aviesas intenciones y un joven amante con ínfulas de periodista. Y todo ello en un ambiente de secretos, traiciones, chantajes y artimañas en el que buscadores de fortuna y politicastros sin escrúpulos medran sin control, ajenos a la inminente quiebra bursátil e inconscientes de la hecatombe bélica que se cierne sobre Europa. La crítica ha dicho... «Un melodrama al estilo de El conde de Montecristo con sofisticada venganza incluida.» El Periódico «Un nuevo capítulo a ese bullicioso fresco de inspiración folletinesca e incisivo espíritu decimonónico con el que, además de celebrar el poso de las narrativas populares, sigue apretándole las tuercas a la familia Péricourt y a la Francia del siglo pasado.» ABC «Es una apuesta segura, viniendo de la mano de Pierre Lemaitre. [...] Con la fuerza arrolladora de un torbellino, trenza magistralmente la venganza implacable de una mujer, a la par que ofrece un retrato soberbio de una época embarullada y vertiginosa.» MÍA «Cómico, astuto, provocativo y mordaz.» Lire «Pierre Lemaitre tiene un verdadero don para el ritmo, algo inmediatamente visual, una energía en el desarrollo de la trama, densa y profunda bajo el ropaje anodino del entretenimiento, alternando la visión panorámica y el primer plano.» Pierre Assouline, La République des Livres «El arte de Pierre Lemaitre consigue mantener el ritmo, hace que disfrutemos de la felicidad de la escritura, de los vuelcos inesperados, de su manera de inventar, sin complejos, una trama chispeante. [...] ¡Rápido, la continuación!» L'Express «El heredero más directo de los novelistas decimonónicos.» Le Nouveau Magazine Littéraire «Una comedia humana perfectamente orquestada.» Le Journal du Dimanche «Mordaz, trepidante, vodevilesco.» Le Point «Una intriga que te devora.» Le Figaro Magazine «Palpitante. Magistral.» Version Fémina «Un talento rabioso.» L'Obs «Sublime.» RTL Pierre Lemaitre Thu, 27 Jan 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564586 thebookvoice.com 13:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564586]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Opus nigrum Author: Marguerite Yourcenar Narrator: Marta Rodríguez Pandozi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 19 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Ambientada en la Europa del siglo XVI, Opus nigrum narra el trágico destino de un hombre excepcional y nos hace revivir la fascinante época que va de la Edad Media al Renacimiento «Con el estilo poético característico de Yourcenar, en estas páginas [...] los grises están presentes constantemente. Opus nigrum es, en fin, un compendio de la condición humana con todas sus contradicciones». Joseba Louzao, El Debate Opus nigrum, una vieja fórmula alquímica para la obtención de la Gran Obra y que también simboliza las pruebas del espíritu en su proceso de liberación, es el título elegido por Marguerite Yourcenar para trazar la vida de Zenón, personaje inspirado en el químico alemán Paracelso, el médico español Miguel Servet, el filósofo italiano Tommaso Campanella y Leonardo da Vinci. Reseñas: «Posiblemente la mejor novela de Marguerite Yourcenar.» Luis Goytisolo «En sus novelas históricas supo Yourcenar, con la enorme calidad de su escritura y la hondura de sus ideas, dignificar y trascender todo un género.» Care Santos, El Cultural de El Mundo «Esta obra es al tiempo un ensayo sobre el Renacimiento y un cuadro sobre esa turbulenta época [...]. Una experiencia conmovedora, infrecuente y en ocasiones inquietante para el lector contemporáneo.» The New York Times Book Review «Recordad que la lucidez es contagiosa, y también lo es el coraje. Se leéis, querréis releer; uno jamás se cansa de Yourcenar.» Dominique Aury «Si hubierta que carcacterizar con una sola palabra el conjunto de su obra, no lo dudaría un momento: Yourcenar o el saber, naturalmente. Yourcenar o la seredidad, sin duda. Pero sobre todo, Yourcenar o la altura. Yourcenar o la elevación.» Jean D'Ormesson «Yourcenar no llegó a la historia desde fuera, sino que nació en su interior, en ella y desde ella aportó al género su tradición clásica, su sentido de la trascendencia de la naturaleza (ecologismo radical hasta su panteísmo final, el orientalismo y el budismo), sus experiencias personales (familiares y amorosas hasta su homosexualidad) y su sentimiento pudoroso, elegante, discreto y congelado de las pasiones humanas.» Rafael Conte «Una de las más grandes escritoras del XX, consagrada desde muy joven a la tarea de habitar en ajenas conciencias y de escribir contra el olvido.» Javier Aparicio Maydeu, El País Marguerite Yourcenar Thu, 27 Jan 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564572 thebookvoice.com 12:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564572]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Violets Author: Alex Hyde Narrator: Rebecca Trehearn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 23 minutes Release date: February 3, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: An astonishing debut novel of motherhood and loss in the dying days of the Second World War 'Moving, graceful... Violets has a compelling, quiet power all the way to its exquisitely affecting end' Megan Hunter, author of The Harpy and The End We Start From 'Stunning and original... Written in pristine prose, it reminded me of the possibilities of language' Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory A young woman, Violet, lies in a hospital bed in the closing days of World War Two. Her pregnancy is over and she is no longer able to conceive. With her husband deployed in Burma and her friends caught up in transitory love affairs, she must find a way to put herself back together. In a small, watchful town in the Welsh valleys, another Violet contemplates the fate she shares with her unborn child. Unwed, an overseas posting offers a temporary way out. Plunged into the heat and disorder of Naples, her body begins to reveal the responsibility it carries even as she is drawn into the burnished circle of a charismatic new friend, Maggie.

As their lives begin to intertwine, a spellbinding story of women's courage emerges, suffused with power, lyricism and beauty, from an exhilarating new voice in British fiction.

Title: [Arabic] - الجاسوسة Author: باولو كويلو Narrator: عبير قاموع Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 35 minutes Release date: March 20, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 'الجاسوسة'، رواية للكاتب البرازيلي باولو كويلو، تدور أحداث الرواية حول الحياة الشخصية لواحدة من أكثر نساء العالم شهرة، وهي الجاسوسة الهولندية إبان الحرب العالمية الأولى، (ماتا هاري)، بدأ الكتاب بخطاب كتبته ماتا عام 1917 قبل أسبوع من إعدامها في باريس، بتهمة التجسس خلال الحرب العالمية الأولى. اعتمد كويلو في كتابه على العديد من المواد الأرشيفية الفرنسية التي أصدرت خلال العشرين عاماً الماضية، وذكر كويلو أن 'ماتا' واحدة من النساء التي تخطت توقعات الذكور لها، واستطاعت أن تعيش حياة غير تقليدية . وتعتبر 'ماتا هاري'، وهو الاسم الفني الذي اشتهرت به 'مارجاريتا جريتشي'، أشهر جاسوسة في التاريخ الحديث؛ إذ كانت راقصة لدى رجال الطبقة العليا من المجتمع، تم إعدامها من قبل الفرنسيين رمياً بالرصاص بتهمة التجسس عليهم لمصلحة ألمانيا خلال الحرب العالمية الأولى. وأصبحت 'ماتا هاري' مادة شديدة الثراء للأدباء والمؤرخين وصناع السينما، وأطلق عليها لقب جاسوسة الجاسوسات، ورسموا لها صورة الفتاة الجميلة الساحرة التي أوقعت كبار الساسة في هواها وغوايتها، حيث وصلت إلى باريس بجيوبٍ فارغة، وسرعان ما أصبحت حديث المجتمع باعتبارها المرأة الأكثر أناقةً في المدينة، راقصةٌ أذهلت الجماهير وأدخلت الفرح إلى قلوبهم، وباتت محطّ أنظارهم، وبيتَ أسرارهم. وثق بها أثرياء تلك الحقبة والنافذون فيها. وفيما كان جنون الارتياب يفتك بالبلاد التي دارت رحى الحرب فيها، توجّهت أصابع الشك نحو 'ماتا هاري' جرّاء نمط الحياة المريب الذي كانت تعيشه. وبحلول العام 1917، أُلقيَ القبض عليها في غرفتها بفندقٍ في الشانزليزيه، واتُّهمت بالتجسّس، 'ماتا هاري' في رسالتها الأخيرة روت قصة الجاسوسة وهي قصةٌ ستظلّ في الذاكرة لامرأةٍ تجرّأت على كسر التقاليد والأعراف ودفعت الثمن. باولو كويلو Sat, 20 Mar 2021 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564329 thebookvoice.com 4:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564329]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Unaware that her father, Jack, is caught up in his own web of secrets, she at first welcomes her family’s posting to a sleepy air force base in southern Ontario. The base, however, is home to some intriguing inhabitants, including the unconventional Froehlich family, and the odd Mr. March, whose power over the children is a secret burden that they carry. Then tragedy strikes, and a local murder intersects with global forces, binding the participants for life. As tension in the McCarthy’s household builds, Jack must decide where his loyalty lies, and Madeleine learns about the ambiguity of human morality—a lesson that will become clear only when the quest for the truth, and the killer, is renewed twenty years later.

Title: Late City Author: Robert Olen Butler Narrator: Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A visionary and poignant audiobook centred around former newspaperman Sam Cunningham as he prepares to die, Late City covers much of the early twentieth century, unfurling as a conversation between the dying man and a surprising God. As the two review Sam's life, from his childhood in the American South and his time in the French trenches during World War I to his fledgling newspaper career in Chicago in the Roaring Twenties and the decades that follow, snippets of history are brought sharply into focus. Sam grows up in Louisiana, with a harsh father, who he comes to resent both for his physical abuse and for what Sam eventually perceives as his flawed morality. Eager to escape and prove himself, Sam enlists in the army as a sniper while still underage. The hardness his father instilled in him helps him make it out of World War I alive, but, as he recounts these tales on his deathbed, we come to realise that it also prevents him from contending with the emotional wounds of war. Back in the US, Sam moves to Chicago to begin a career as a newspaperman that will bring him close to all the major historical turns of the twentieth century. There he meets his wife and has a son, whose fate counters Sam's at almost every turn. As he contemplates his relationships - with his parents, his brothers in arms, his wife, his editor, and most importantly, his son - Sam is amazed at what he still has left to learn about himself after all these years in this heart-rending audiobook from the Pulitzer Prize winner. “Late City is an honest, poignant reckoning of what it means to gaze unblinkingly at our own failings and to find transcendence.' HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY 'With two dozen remarkably imaginative and empathic fiction titles to his credit, Butler brings preternatural attunement to the spiraling of the mind and ardently honed artistry to this exceptionally nuanced, tender, funny, tragic, and utterly transfixing portrait of a man reflecting on more than a century's worth of horror and wonder.'--Booklist, starred review 'A moving tale of love and misunderstanding.'--Publishers Weekly Robert Olen Butler Thu, 27 Jan 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564299 thebookvoice.com 8:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564299]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Late City Author: Robert Olen Butler Narrator: Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 27, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A visionary and poignant audiobook centred around former newspaperman Sam Cunningham as he prepares to die, Late City covers much of the early twentieth century, unfurling as a conversation between the dying man and a surprising God. As the two review Sam's life, from his childhood in the American South and his time in the French trenches during World War I to his fledgling newspaper career in Chicago in the Roaring Twenties and the decades that follow, snippets of history are brought sharply into focus. Sam grows up in Louisiana, with a harsh father, who he comes to resent both for his physical abuse and for what Sam eventually perceives as his flawed morality. Eager to escape and prove himself, Sam enlists in the army as a sniper while still underage. The hardness his father instilled in him helps him make it out of World War I alive, but, as he recounts these tales on his deathbed, we come to realise that it also prevents him from contending with the emotional wounds of war.

Caesar and his small force are trapped in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. Caught up in the dynastic struggles of the House of Ptolemy, the consul has sided with the clever and ruthless Queen Cleopatra. Her brother and fellow monarch Ptolemy XIII languishes in the palace, a hostage of Caesar's, while a huge army under the command of the Egyptian general Achillas closes on the city to free him. With both the future of this ancient land and the safety of Caesar and his men at stake, Fronto and his friends face the terrible task of holding an unfamiliar city under siege, in the desperate hope that reinforcements will reach them before the enemy break in. But Egyptian reinforcements gather too, and with the interference of the youngest princess, ArsinoE, the future is far from written.

As the general deals with matters in the city his army gathers at the coast, waiting to cross the sea and fight that worst of all conflicts: civil war. This will be no easy campaign for Caesar and his officers. Fronto and Galronus, both preparing to join the campaign, know that they will face appalling odds right from the outset, for Pompey's immense navy controls the seas, and the force he has gathered in the east will dwarf that of Caesar, commanded by shrewd officers like the great Scipio and the turncoat Labienus. From the bitter Adriatic Sea to the mountains and valleys of the Balkans, Fronto and his men strive to stop Pompey and bring the war to an end, heading for a conflict the likes of which none have ever seen. Hades awaits the legions of Rome on the plains of Pharsalus. S. J. A.

In the present day, a dig commences on the land, and not only is a body discovered, but a sheaf of prophecies. Who killed Sorcha? There has been a guesthouse on the Tierney land in County Fermanagh for hundreds of years. Now Tierney's Hotel is faced with a development that will block the hotel's best feature, its view of Enniskillen Castle. But the project can be stopped if there are important historical artifacts buried on the property. Enter the archaeologists. Mick's ancestor, Brigid Tierney, ran the guesthouse in the late 1500s. We see Brigid and Shane and their children at a lavish banquet at the castle, home of the ruling family, the Maguires. The wine and ale flow freely, the harpist plays, the bard recites the Maguires' heroic deeds. But one woman has a sense of foreboding. Sorcha the prophetess sees harrowing times ahead. The Tudors of England are determined to complete their brutal conquest of Ireland. The morning after the banquet, Sorcha is found dead on a bed of oak leaves. And Shane is accused of the killing. His lawyer, Terence, conducts his defence on the hilltop that constitutes the court in 1595. Ireland has had a complex and at times woeful history, and we see that history being played out in the lives of the Tierneys, past and present. In 2018, the dig commences on Mick Tierney's land. Historical artifacts? Yes. But also a sheaf of prophecies. And a body ? a bogman ? four hundred years old.

Title: The Transaction Series: #174 of Essential Prose Author: Guglielmo D'izzia Narrator: Josh Cruddas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 0 minutes Release date: December 15, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: De Angelis, an inscrutable northerner, is travelling to a small town perched in Sicily's hinterland to negotiate a real estate transaction, only to find himself embroiled in a criminal conspiracy. While en route, the train he's on mysteriously breaks down, forcing him to spend the night in a squalid whistle stop. What follows is a web of unsettling events, involving child prostitution and brazen killings. And at the heart of it: an alluring blue-eyed girl, Marinella. The chance encounter with the eleven-year-old traps him in a psychological and moral cul-de-sac, leaving him no choice but to confront the type of man he really is.

Title: Scatterlings: A Novel Author: Resoketswe Martha Manenzhe Narrator: Christel Mutombo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 7 minutes Release date: December 13, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.75 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A BEST NEW BOOK from *Vanity Fair *The Root *Vulture *People *The Washington Post *Christian Science Monitor *Los Angeles Times *Essence A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Pick! A New Yorker Best Book of the Year! A lyrical, moving novel in the spirit of Transcendent Kingdom and A Burning—and the most awarded debut title in South Africa—that tells the story of a multiracial family when the Immorality Act is passed, revealing the story of one family’s scattered souls in the wake of history. In 1927, South Africa passes the Immorality Act, prohibiting sexual intercourse between “Europeans” (white people) and “natives” (Black people). Those who break the draconian new law face imprisonment—for men of up to five years; for women, four years. Abram and his wife Alisa have their share of marital problems, but they also have a comfortable life in South Africa with their two young girls. But then the Act is passed. Alisa is black, and their two children are now evidence of their involvement in a union that has been criminalized by the state. At first, Alisa and Abram question how they’ll be affected by the Act, but then officials start asking questions at the girls’ school, and their estate is catalogued for potential disbursement. Abram is at a loss as to how to protect his young family from the grinding machinery of the law, whose worst discriminations have until now been kept at bay by the family’s economic privilege. And with this, his hesitation, the couple’s bond is tattered. Alisa, who is Jamaican and the descendant of slaves, was adopted by a wealthy white British couple, who raised her as their child. But as she grew older and realized that the prejudices of British society made no allowance for her, she journeyed to South Africa where she met Abram. In the aftermath of the Immorality Act, she comes to a heartbreaking conclusion based on her past and collective history – and she commits her own devastating act, one that will reverberate through their entire family’s lives. Intertwining her storytelling with ritual, myth, and the heart-wrenching question of who stays and who leaves, Scatterlings marks the debut of a gifted storyteller who has become a sensation in her native South Africa—and promises to take the Western literary world by storm as well.

Title: Kidnapped Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Narrator: Lois Chimimba Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 58 minutes Release date: November 24, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped is at once a rollicking adventure story and an earnest political allegory. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction and historical notes by Donald McFarlan, and a foreword by Alasdair Gray. Orphaned and penniless, David Balfour sets out to find his last living relative, miserly and reclusive Uncle Ebenezer. But Ebenezer is far from welcoming, and David narrowly escapes being murdered before he is kidnapped and imprisoned on a ship bound for the Carolinas. When the ship is wrecked, David, along with the fiery rebel Alan Breck, makes his way back across the treacherous Highland terrain on a quest for justice. Through his powerful depiction of the two very different central characters - the romantic Breck and the rational Whig David - Stevenson dramatized a conflict at the heart of Scottish culture in the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion, as well as creating an unforgettable adventure story. This new edition includes a foreword by Alasdair Gray discussing Stevenson's life and literary career and how he came to write Kidnapped. In his introduction, Donald McFarlan considers the novel's realism and a depiction of Scotland. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was born in Edinburgh, the son of a prosperous civil engineer. Although he began his career as an essayist and travel writer, the success of Treasure Island (1883) and Kidnapped (1886) established his reputation as a writer of tales of action and adventure. Stevenson's Calvinist upbringing lent him a preoccupation with predestination and a fascination with the presence of evil, themes he explored in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and The Master of Ballantrae (1893). © Penguin Classics 1994 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Robert Louis Stevenson Thu, 24 Nov 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563636 thebookvoice.com 9:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563636]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El batallón de San Patricio: La desgarradora historia de los combatientes irlandeses en México Author: Pino Cacucci Narrator: Sebastián Rosas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: 'Éramos cuarenta y ocho hombres sin patria y sin uniforme; esperábamos encontrar ambas cosas más allá de las líneas mexicanas.' Ésta es la historia real de John Riley y de sus hombres irlandeses que, en 1846, peleaban en las filas de los Estados Unidos durante la guerra fronteriza con México. Ellos, que habían escapado del hambre y de la opresión en su Irlanda natal, no pudieron permanecer sumisos ante la carnicería que su ejército cometía para expulsar a los mexicanos de sus tierras. Ésta es la leyenda de unos desertores que se cambiaron de bando para combatir la injusticia y formaron el Batallón de San Patricio, una unidad de artillería del ejército de la República mexicana. Ésta es la recreación de la infamia cometida contra Riley y los suyos, juzgados por alta traición, condenados y marcados a fuego en la mejilla con una D, de desertores, y también es una apasionante novela de perdedores, con toda la épica y el rigor histórico de Pino Cacucci. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563598 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563598]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Bindle Punk Bruja: A Novel Author: Desideria Mesa Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 10 minutes Release date: September 13, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Boardwalk Empire meets The Vanishing Half with a touch of earth magic in this sexy and action-packed historical fantasy set in the luminous Golden Twenties from debut author Desideria Mesa, where a part-time reporter and club owner takes on crooked city councilmen, mysterious and deadly mobsters, and society’s deeply rooted sexism and racism, all while keeping her true identity and magical abilities hidden—inspired by an ancient Mexican folktale. Yo soy quien soy. I am who I am. Luna—or depending on who’s asking, Rose—is the white-passing daughter of an immigrant mother who has seen what happens to people from her culture. This world is prejudicial, and she must hide her identity in pursuit of owning an illegal jazz club. Using her cunning powers, Rose negotiates with dangerous criminals as she climbs up Kansas City’s bootlegging ladder. Luna, however, runs the risk of losing everything if the crooked city councilmen and ruthless mobsters discover her ties to an immigrant boxcar community that secretly houses witches. Last thing she wants is to put her entire family in danger. But this bruja with ever-growing magical abilities can never resist a good fight. With her new identity, Rose, an unabashed flapper, defies societal expectations all the while struggling to keep her true self and witchcraft in check. However, the harder she tries to avoid scrutiny, the more her efforts eventually capture unwanted attention. Soon, she finds herself surrounded by greed and every brand of bigotry—from local gangsters who want a piece of the action and businessmen who hate her diverse staff to the Ku Klux Klan and Al Capone. Will her earth magic be enough to save her friends and family? As much as she hates to admit it, she may need to learn to have faith in others—and learning to trust may prove to be her biggest ambition yet. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: [Russian] - Маковое море Series: #1 of Ибисная трилогия Author: амитав гош Narrator: алексей багдасаров Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 52 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: «Маковое море» Амитава Гоша – первая книга эпохальной трилогии о морских приключениях в девятнадцатом веке. Хитросплетенный, полный неожиданных поворотов сюжет «Макового моря» разворачивается в роскошных декорациях колониальной Индии ровно накануне опиумных войн: маковые деревни, жилища раджи, усадьбы британских колонизаторов, фабрики опиума, замкнутый мир морского судна. В центре хитросплетенной масштабной саги – парусник «Ибис», бывший работорговый корабль, на котором судьба сводит пестрый ворох поразительно разных персонажей. Юная француженка-сирота; обанкротившийся индийский раджа; сбежавшая от обряда сожжения индийская вдова; апологет новой религии; матрос-американец, неожиданно для себя ставший помощником капитана... «Ибис» должен повезти их из Индии на неведомый Маврикий, и слушателя унесет за собой захватывающая история, полная благородства и предательства, опасностей и испытаний, решимости и свободы. «Роман Гоша – не антиколониальный пафосный манифест, не дидактическая панорама картина из жизни колонии, это полные страсти истории мужчин и женщин всех рас и каст, которым предстоит навсегда оставить прошлое и пуститься в неведомое будущем на хрупком суденышке. Это, прежде всего, трогающая за душу книга». The Times «Маковое море» – настоящий триумф и как роман идей, и как резвая приключенческая история. Эта книга – та еще редкая птица: исторический роман, под завязку наполненный современной актуальностью и мелодраматическими поворотами». Boston Phoenix Внимание!

Title: Shadows of Berlin Author: David R. Gillham Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 2 minutes Release date: April 5, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A captivating novel of a Berlin girl on the run from the guilt of her past and the boy from Brooklyn who loves her 1955 in New York City: the city of instant coffee, bagels at Katz’s Deli, and ultramodern TVs. But in a certain walk-up in Chelsea, the past is as close as the present. Rashka Morgenstern, now Rachel Perlman, came to Manhattan with her uncle Fritz in a wave of displaced Jews who had managed to survive the horrors of war. She had hoped to find freedom from pain, in New York and in the arms of her new American husband, Aaron. But this child of Berlin cannot outrun her guilt simply by assuming the role of American housewife, not until she can shake off the ghosts of her past. And when Uncle Fritz discovers the most shocking portrait her mother had ever painted, sitting in a dreary midtown pawnshop, Rachel’s memories begin to terrorize her, forcing her to face the choices she made to stay alive—choices that might be her undoing. From the cafés of war-torn Germany to the frantic drumbeat of 1950s Manhattan, Shadows of Berlin dramatically explores survival, guilt, redemption, and the ways in which we attempt to love and forgive across impossible divides.

The last thing she expects on her first night in Hull, however, is to be caught in the city’s first air raid—or to stumble across the body of a young woman, suspiciously untouched by debris. If the air raid didn’t kill the glamorous stranger, what did? Billie is determined to get justice, and her persistence earns her an invitation to the newly formed Women’s Police Constabulary. But as the case unfolds, putting her at odds with both high-ranking members of the force as well as the victim’s powerful family, Billie begins to wonder if she can trust her new friends and colleagues … or if someone amongst them is working for the enemy.

Title: Victoria Station: A BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Drama Author: Steve Chambers Narrator: Gavin Muir, John Hartley, Pauline Letts, Sean Baker, Colleen Prendergast, Philip Jackson, Julia Ford, Full Cast, Christopher Scott, Michael Tudor Barnes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: April 14, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: The complete Series 1 and 2 of the historical drama set in a bustling Midlands railway station in the Victorian era In these two series, set on selected dates in January 1895 and December 1896, we follow the day-to-day shenanigans of Bridgford station master Joe Braddock and his staff, along with a motley crew of passengers and passers-by. Each episode is a self-contained drama, as well as telling the ongoing story of the crises and challenges tackled by the team, and their rivalries, enmities, friendships and burgeoning romances. As Series 1 begins, a goods train is derailed - just as a VIP visitor is about to arrive. As the crew scramble to clear the line, it becomes evident that the accident has damaged the Sherwood Tunnel: and something sinister lurks within. When a man is found dead, a public inquiry is launched - and as a second disaster looms, Signalman Fred Roberts fights to clear his name... In Series 2, newly promoted Regional Superintendent Archibald Cripps is hatching a plot to replace Joe as Station Manager. Adding to Joe's worries are a painful tooth, pickpockets, fare-dodgers and his daughter Josie's relationship with porter Jack Robson. But when a train gets stuck in a snowdrift, with a young pregnant woman on board, it's up to Joe and his rescue party to save the day - even if it means getting fired... Written by Steve Chambers (HighLites), these gentle, engaging plays take us back to a bygone age of travel, when the railways ruled the roost. They star Sean Baker as Joe Braddock, with a full cast including Philip Jackson, Christopher Scott, Julia Ford, Colleen Prendergast, Pauline Letts and John Hartley.

Title: [Spanish] - El Paraíso en la otra esquina Author: Mario Vargas Llosa Narrator: Mario Velásquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Un nexo de unión entre dos personajes que optan por dos modelos vitales opuestos que desvelan un deseo común: el de alcanzar un paraíso donde sea posible la felicidad para los seres humanos. Dos vidas: la de Flora Tristán, que pone todos sus esfuerzos en la lucha por los derechos de la mujer y de los obreros, y la de Paul Gauguin, el hombre que descubre su pasión por la pintura y abandona su existencia burguesa para viajar a Tahití en busca de un mundo sin contaminar por las convenciones. Dos concepciones del sexo: la de Flora, que solo ve en él un instrumento de dominio masculino y la de Gauguin, que lo considera una fuerza vital imprescindible puesta al servicio de su creatividad. ¿Qué tienen en común esas dos vidas desligadas y opuestas, aparte del vínculo familiar por ser Flora la abuela materna de Gauguin? Esto es lo que Vargas Llosa pone de relieve en El Paraíso en la otra esquina (2003): el mundo de utopías que fue el siglo XIX. La crítica ha dicho... «Dada la maestría de Vargas Llosa, el resultado no es que sea valioso, sino que resulta fascinante; no es una novela grande sino dos grandes novelas, dos narraciones históricas... Libro magistral, que son dos, como dos son los paraísos aquí evocados.» Rafael Conte, El País «La tarea de documentación e investigación que está detrás de su construcción es realmente impresionante y no menos el modo perfecto como realiza la fusión entre lo real y lo ficticio... en cuanto a las proporciones épicas que sus relatos pueden alcanzar, tal vez no haya ahora nadie en nuestra lengua que lo pueda superar.» José Miguel Oviedo, ABC Cultural «La novela de Vargas Llosa es una prueba de su capacidad para recrear imaginativamente el pasado y permitirnos extraer, como lectores, varias y aún contradictorias opciones morales.» Joaquín Marco, El Mundo Mario Vargas Llosa Thu, 16 Dec 2021 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562972 thebookvoice.com 16:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562972]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El abanico de seda Author: Lisa See Narrator: Irene Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Esta novela es una ventana a un mundo asombroso, lejano y desconocido, un retrato vivo de la vida de unas mujeres extraordinarias que dejará en el lector una impresión difícil de olvidar. En una remota provincia de China, las mujeres crearon hace siglos un lenguaje secreto para comunicarse libremente entre sí: el nu shu. Aisladas en sus casas y sometidas a la férrea autoridad masculina, el nu shu era su única vía de escape. Mediante sus mensajes, escritos o bordados en telas, abanicos y otros objetos, daban testimonio de un mundo tan sofisticado como implacable. El año 2002, la autora de esta novela viajó a la provincia de Huan, cuna de esta milenaria escritura fonética, para estudiarla en profundidad. Su prolongada estancia le permitió recoger testimonios de mujeres que la conocían, así como de la última hablante de nu shu, la nonagenaria Yang Huanyi. A partir de aquellas investigaciones, Lisa See concibió esta conmovedora historia sobre la amistad entre dos mujeres, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve. Como prueba de su buena estrella, la pequeña Lirio Blanco, hija de una humilde familia de campesinos, será hermanada con Flor de Nieve, de muy diferente ascendencia social. En una ceremonia ancestral, ambas se convierten en laotong -«mi otro yo» o «alma gemela»-, un vínculo que perdurará toda la vida. Así pues, a lo largo de los años, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve se comunicarán gracias a ese lenguaje secreto, compartiendo sus más íntimos pensamientos y emociones, y consolándose de las penalidades del matrimonio y la maternidad. El nu shu las mantendrá unidas, hasta que un error de interpretación amenazará con truncar su profunda amistad.

Title: [Spanish] - El abanico de seda Author: Lisa See Narrator: Irene Montalà Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: December 16, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Esta novela es una ventana a un mundo asombroso, lejano y desconocido, un retrato vivo de la vida de unas mujeres extraordinarias que dejará en el lector una impresión difícil de olvidar. En una remota provincia de China, las mujeres crearon hace siglos un lenguaje secreto para comunicarse libremente entre sí: el nu shu. Aisladas en sus casas y sometidas a la férrea autoridad masculina, el nu shu era su única vía de escape. Mediante sus mensajes, escritos o bordados en telas, abanicos y otros objetos, daban testimonio de un mundo tan sofisticado como implacable. El año 2002, la autora de esta novela viajó a la provincia de Huan, cuna de esta milenaria escritura fonética, para estudiarla en profundidad. Su prolongada estancia le permitió recoger testimonios de mujeres que la conocían, así como de la última hablante de nu shu, la nonagenaria Yang Huanyi. A partir de aquellas investigaciones, Lisa See concibió esta conmovedora historia sobre la amistad entre dos mujeres, Lirio Blanco y Flor de Nieve.

More than a century of famine, war, violence and love. At sixteen Nancy, the only member of her family to survive the Great Famine, leaves her small island for the mainland. Finding work in a grand house on the edge of Cork City, she feels irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener Michael Egan, sparking a love affair that soon throws her into a fight for her life.

Title: The Slow March of Light: A Novel Author: Heather B. Moore Narrator: Stephen Graybill, Christa Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 54 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.5 of Total 2 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A riveting and emotionally gripping novel of an American soldier working as a spy in Soviet-occupied East Germany and a West German woman secretly helping her countrymen escape from behind the Berlin Wall In the summer of 1961, a wall of barbed wire goes up quickly in the dead of night, officially dividing Berlin. Luisa Voigt lives in West Berlin, but her grandmother lives across the border and is now trapped inside the newly- isolated communist country of East Germany. Desperate to rescue her grandmother and aware of the many others whose families have been divided, Luisa joins a secret spy network, risking her life to help bring others through a makeshift, underground tunnel to West Germany. Their work is dangerous and not everyone will successfully escape or live to see freedom. Bob Inama was an outstanding university student with plans to attend law school when he is drafted into the US Army. Stationed in West Germany, he is glad to be fluent in German, especially after meeting Luisa Voigt at a church social. As they spend time together, they form a close connection. But when Bob receives classified orders to leave for undercover work immediately, he does not get the chance to say goodbye. With a fake identity, Bob’s special assignment is to be a spy embedded in East Germany. His undercover job will give him access to government sites to map out strategic military targets. But Soviet and East German spies, the secret police, and Stasi informants are everywhere, and eventually Bob is caught and sent to a brutal East German prison. Interrogated and tortured daily, Bob clings to any hope he can find—from the sunlight that marches across the wall of his prison to the one guard who secretly treats him with kindness to the thought of one day seeing Luisa again. Author Heather B. Moore masterfully alternates the stories of Bob and Luisa, capturing the human drama unique to Cold War Germany as well as the courage and the resilience of the human spirit.

Title: The Twilight World: Discover the first novel from the iconic filmmaker Werner Herzog Author: Werner Herzog Narrator: Werner Herzog Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 7, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The great filmmaker Werner Herzog, in his first novel, tells the incredible story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who defended a small island in the Philippines for twenty-nine years after the end of World War II In 1997, Werner Herzog was in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts asked him, Whom would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda. Onoda was a former solider famous for having quixotically defended an island in the Philippines for decades after World War II, unaware the fighting was over. Herzog and Onoda developed an instant rapport and would meet many times, talking for hours and together unraveling the story of Onoda's long war. At the end of 1944, on Lubang Island in the Philippines, with Japanese troops about to withdraw, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda was given orders by his superior officer: Hold the island until the Imperial army's return. You are to defend its territory by guerrilla tactics, at all costs. . . . There is only one rule. You are forbidden to die by your own hand. In the event of your capture by the enemy, you are to give them all the misleading information you can. So began Onoda's long campaign, during which he became fluent in the hidden language of the jungle. Soon weeks turned into months, months into years, and years into decades-until eventually time itself seemed to melt away. All the while Onoda continued to fight his fictitious war, at once surreal and tragic, at first with other soldiers, and then, finally, alone, a character in a novel of his own making. In The Twilight World, Herzog immortalizes and imagines Onoda's years of absurd yet epic struggle in an inimitable, hypnotic style-part documentary, part poem, and part dream-that will be instantly recognizable to fans of his films. The result is a novel completely unto itself, a sort of modern-day Robinson Crusoe tale: a glowing, dancing meditation on the purpose and meaning we give our lives. © Werner Herzog 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Werner Herzog Thu, 07 Jul 2022 08:28:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562576 thebookvoice.com 3:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562576]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Greek Myths: Modern re-tellings: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama collection Author: Linda Marshall Griffiths, Simon Armitage Narrator: Simon Dutton, Emily Taaffe, Polly Frame, Colin Tierney, Bryan Dick, Nico Mirallegro, Claire Price, Full Cast, Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 21 minutes Release date: February 3, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Award winning classic stories from Greek mythology, reimagined by Simon Armitage and Linda Marshall Griffiths - plus bonus material With their epic tales of gods, heroes, magic and monsters, the Greek myths have thrilled us for over 2000 years, and inspired countless adaptations. Now, in this captivating collection, two award-winning playwrights bring their own fresh, contemporary takes to the famous legends of Odysseus, Orpheus and Eurydice. Simon Armitage's Missing Presumed Dead: The Odyssey weaves together Homeric myth and modern-day politics, as a senior politician with a colourful past is sent on a diplomatic mission to Istanbul, only to find himself at the centre of an international incident. On the run from the authorities, he is plunged into the ancient past where his Odyssey begins, as he contends with supernatural beings and unnatural phenomena from the Cyclops and Circe to Sirens, storms and shipwreck. Will he survive, and get back home? Meanwhile, in the present day, his wife and son are besieged by the press, desperate to hear the full story... This gripping dramatisation stars Colin Tierney as Smith/Odysseus. In two linked plays, with a 4-minute introduction by Simon Armitage, he and Linda Marshall Griffiths each give their versions of the tragedy of Orpheus and his doomed bride. Armitage's Eurydice and Orpheus: Her Story tells the tale of two lovers - lab technician Sanna and busking musician Zak - and a harp that will have a profound, irreversible effect on both their lives. Claire Price stars as Sanna, with Bryan Dick as Zak. And in Orpheus and Eurydice: His Story, by Linda Marshall Griffiths, grief-stricken singer Orfeo journeys into the Underworld to bring back his dead wife, Eurydice. But is love stronger than death, if a backward glance can destroy everything? Starring Nico Mirallegro as Orfeo and Emily Taaffe as Eurydice, and with music by PJ Harvey, this moving drama won the Grand Prix Marulic in 2016. Also included is a bonus extract from Radio 4's Start the Week, in which Simon Armitage talks to Anne McElvoy about his dramatisation of Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid, The Last Days of Troy.

Title: Greek Myths: Modern re-tellings: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama collection Author: Linda Marshall Griffiths, Simon Armitage Narrator: Simon Dutton, Emily Taaffe, Polly Frame, Colin Tierney, Bryan Dick, Nico Mirallegro, Claire Price, Full Cast, Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 21 minutes Release date: February 3, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Award winning classic stories from Greek mythology, reimagined by Simon Armitage and Linda Marshall Griffiths - plus bonus material With their epic tales of gods, heroes, magic and monsters, the Greek myths have thrilled us for over 2000 years, and inspired countless adaptations. Now, in this captivating collection, two award-winning playwrights bring their own fresh, contemporary takes to the famous legends of Odysseus, Orpheus and Eurydice. Simon Armitage's Missing Presumed Dead: The Odyssey weaves together Homeric myth and modern-day politics, as a senior politician with a colourful past is sent on a diplomatic mission to Istanbul, only to find himself at the centre of an international incident. On the run from the authorities, he is plunged into the ancient past where his Odyssey begins, as he contends with supernatural beings and unnatural phenomena from the Cyclops and Circe to Sirens, storms and shipwreck. Will he survive, and get back home? Meanwhile, in the present day, his wife and son are besieged by the press, desperate to hear the full story... This gripping dramatisation stars Colin Tierney as Smith/Odysseus. In two linked plays, with a 4-minute introduction by Simon Armitage, he and Linda Marshall Griffiths each give their versions of the tragedy of Orpheus and his doomed bride. Armitage's Eurydice and Orpheus: Her Story tells the tale of two lovers - lab technician Sanna and busking musician Zak - and a harp that will have a profound, irreversible effect on both their lives. Claire Price stars as Sanna, with Bryan Dick as Zak. And in Orpheus and Eurydice: His Story, by Linda Marshall Griffiths, grief-stricken singer Orfeo journeys into the Underworld to bring back his dead wife, Eurydice. But is love stronger than death, if a backward glance can destroy everything? Starring Nico Mirallegro as Orfeo and Emily Taaffe as Eurydice, and with music by PJ Harvey, this moving drama won the Grand Prix Marulic in 2016. Also included is a bonus extract from Radio 4's Start the Week, in which Simon Armitage talks to Anne McElvoy about his dramatisation of Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid, The Last Days of Troy.

Title: An Indiscreet Princess: A Novel of Queen Victoria’s Defiant Daughter Author: Georgie Blalock Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 27, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Before Princess Margaret, before Duchess Meghan, there was Princess Louise: royal rebel. As the fourth daughter of the perpetually in-mourning Queen Victoria, Princess Louise’s life is more a gilded prison than a fairy tale. Expected to sit quietly next to her mother with down-cast eyes, Louise vows to escape the stultifying royal court. Blessed with beauty, artistic talent, and a common touch, she creates a life outside the walled-in existence of the palace grounds by attending the National Art Training School—where she shockingly learns to sculpt nude models while falling passionately in love with famed sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. But even as Louise cultivates a life outside the palace, she is constantly reminded that even royal rebels must heed the call of duty—and for a princess that means marriage. Refusing to leave England, she agrees to a match with the Duke of Argyll, and although her heart belongs to another, she is determined to act out her public role perfectly, even if her private life teeters on the brink of scandal. But when a near fatal accident forces Louise back under her mother’s iron rule, she realizes she must choose: give in to the grief of lost love or find the strength to fight for her unconventional life.

Title: Bronze Drum Author: Phong Nguyen Narrator: Quyen Ngo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: A stunning novel of ancient Vietnam based on the true story of two warrior sisters who raised an army of women to overthrow the Han Chinese and rule as kings over a united people, for readers of Circe and The Night Tiger. Gather around, children of Chu Dien, and be brave. For even to listen to the story of the Trung Sisters is, in these troubled times, a dangerous act.In 40 CE, in the Au Lac region of ancient Vietnam, two daughters of a Vietnamese Lord fill their days training, studying, and trying to stay true to Vietnamese traditions. While Trung Trac is disciplined and wise, always excelling in her duty, Trung Nhi is fierce and free spirited, more concerned with spending time in the gardens and with lovers. But these sister's lives—and the lives of their people—are shadowed by the oppressive rule of the Han Chinese. They are forced to adopt Confucian teachings, secure marriages, and pay ever‑increasing taxes. As the peoples' frustration boils over, the country comes ever closer to the edge of war. When Trung Trac and Trung Nhi's father is executed, their world comes crashing down around them. With no men to save them against the Han's encroaching regime, they must rise and unite the women of Vietnam into an army. Solidifying their status as champions of women and Vietnam, they usher in a period of freedom and independence for their people. Vivid, lyrical, and filled with adventure, The Bronze Drum is a true story of standing up for one's people, culture, and country that has been passed down through generations of Vietnamese families through oral tradition. Phong Nguyen's breathtaking novel takes these real women out of legends and celebrates their loves, losses, and resilience in this inspirational story of women's strength and power even in the face of the greatest obstacles.

She'll have to get closer... But when a body turns up at her father's surgery, the forensics reveal to Prudence there's more going on about all this than meets the eye. It's clear it's up to her to uncover the truth - of this murder, of whatever's going on at the surgery after hours and, especially, of the intriguing Jasper Darke. Her life, her family and her future rely on it. PRAISE FOR DARRY FRASER: 'Darry Fraser has proven yet again that she is a master at writing Australian historical fiction ...

Title: [Spanish] - La biblioteca de París Author: Janet Skeslien Charles Narrator: Pablo Martínez Gugel, Rebeca Hernando, Paula Iwasaki, Sol De La Barreda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Una historia de valentía y traición basada en las vicisitudes de los trabajadores de la Biblioteca Americana de París en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. París, 1939. La joven Odile Souchet lo tiene todo: un atractivo novio oficial de policía y un trabajo de ensueño en la Biblioteca Americana de París. Pero cuando estalla la guerra y los nazis marchan sobre París, Odile se expone a perder todo lo que le importa, incluida su querida biblioteca. Sabe que en los momentos difíciles los templos de la cultura peligran porque los libros contienen palabras e ideas prohibidas que deben destruirse. Odile no puede permitir que eso suceda: debe salvar esas páginas, de modo que puedan nutrir la mente de quien llegue después. Junto con sus compañeros, se une a la Resistencia y pone el centro a disposición de los judíos: expulsados de sus casas, tras los libros se sienten seguros, y Odile los defenderá cueste lo que cueste. La crítica ha dicho... «La biblioteca de París es una novela fresca y emocionante que celebra el papel de las bibliotecas como núcleos de comunidad, especialmente cuando las más necesitamos. Nos muestra que la literatura puede ser una vía de escape, un catalizador para la conexión humana y una brújula moral en tiempos oscuros. Una lectura sumamente agradable, con mucho corazón, y rebosante de referencias que harán las delicias de los aficionados a los libros». Matthew Sullivan, autor de Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore «Una carta de amor a París, al poder de los libros y a la belleza de las amistades intergeneracionales». Booklist «Un libro encantandor, rico en detalles... los lectores de literatura histórica se verán atrapados por el realismo de la narración y la amistad que se forja entre una viuda y una joven solitaria».

Title: [Spanish] - La dama oscura: La vida de Æmilia Bassano Lanyer, la mujer que Shakespeare amó en secreto y lo inspiró a escribir sus obras más famosas Author: Cristina Pérez Narrator: Cristina Pérez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 47 minutes Release date: December 6, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: La vida de Æmilia Bassano, la mujer a la que Shakespeare amó en secreto, lo inspiró para escribir sus obras más famosas y que vivió limitada por las restricciones que el renacimiento inglés imponía pero que ahora sí puede ser puesta en primer plano y dada a conocer en todo su esplendor. En pleno siglo XVI, las mujeres casi no tenían derechos en Inglaterra. No sabían leer ni escribir. Æmilia Bassano Lanyer, nacida en una familia de músicos y con formación de princesa, iba a enfrentar un mundo donde hasta la reina Elizabeth I pagaba el precio de ser mujer. Æmilia llegó a la corte como intérprete musical y compositora, pero también como amante de uno de los hombres más poderosos del reino. Fue la primera mujer en publicar un libro en la literatura inglesa y eso la uniría con un poeta y dramaturgo que empezaba a descollar: William Shakespeare. Subyugado por la misteriosa belleza e intelectualidad de Æmilia, él dejaría en sus sonetos registro de ese amor. Allí la menciona crípticamente como 'la dama oscura' y hay investigaciones que aseguran que fue coautora de algunas de sus obras e inspiración de historias de origen italiano como Romeo y Julieta. En esta novela, Cristina Pérez busca unir los puntos históricos de un amor que inventó el amor, y recrea un lenguaje y una atmósfera de época con ritmo contemporáneo. Una rigurosa investigación es el telón de fondo para desentrañar quién fue Æmilia Bassano Lanyer, una mujer encorsetada por los límites del renacimiento inglés que, sin embargo, estuvo por delante de su tiempo como pionera de la mujer moderna y libre.

The Deceivers - 1825. When Company official William Savage witnesses a brutal double murder and uncovers grisly evidence of mass ritual sacrifice, he is drawn into the dark world of the thuggee and their murderous, Kali-worshipping cult. Can he escape with his honour - and his soul - intact? Starring David Collings, Saeed Jaffrey, and Terence Alexander. Night Runners of Bengal - 1856, and William's son Rodney is an officer in the Bengal Army. His life is one of security and privilege - but a guru's prophecy, and disturbing events surrounding the Rani of Kishanpur, are harbingers of seismic change to come. Across India, the Great Rebellion is rising... Starring Michael Cochrane, Eva Haddon, Carole Boyd and Renu Setna. The Lotus and the Wind - 1879. Britain and Russia are deadly rivals in the 'Great Game'. At the centre of the conflict is Afghanistan, where soldier-turned-spy Lt Robin Savage is attempting to thwart Russian intelligence. Meanwhile, the woman he loves, Anne Hildreth, witnesses a murder en route to Peshawar... Starring Bill Nighy, Juliet Stevenson, John Rowe. Bhowani Junction - 1946, and India is heading for self-rule. But when Independence comes, what will happen to Anglo-Indians Patrick Taylor and Victoria Jones? As they search for their true identity amidst Britain's turbulent withdrawal, Colonel Rodney Savage hunts for saboteurs seeking to blow up Bhowani's railway...

Title: Masters' India Saga: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation Author: John Masters Narrator: Saeed Jaffrey, Renu Setna, Terence Alexander, Gary Bond, David Collings, Michael Cochrane, Bill Nighy, Full Cast, Juliet Stevenson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 30 minutes Release date: February 24, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: An 18-part serialisation of John Masters' chronicles of the Savage family, spanning the years 1825-1946 and set against the backdrop of British rule in India Based on the hugely popular novels of John Masters, this landmark BBC Radio adaptation charts the history of the British in India through the perspective of one family over several generations. Ranging over more than 120 years, these thrilling tales of love, murder and espionage take us from the expansion of the East India Company to the last days of the Raj and the approach of Independence. The Deceivers - 1825. When Company official William Savage witnesses a brutal double murder and uncovers grisly evidence of mass ritual sacrifice, he is drawn into the dark world of the thuggee and their murderous, Kali-worshipping cult. Can he escape with his honour - and his soul - intact? Starring David Collings, Saeed Jaffrey, and Terence Alexander. Night Runners of Bengal - 1856, and William's son Rodney is an officer in the Bengal Army. His life is one of security and privilege - but a guru's prophecy, and disturbing events surrounding the Rani of Kishanpur, are harbingers of seismic change to come. Across India, the Great Rebellion is rising... Starring Michael Cochrane, Eva Haddon, Carole Boyd and Renu Setna. The Lotus and the Wind - 1879. Britain and Russia are deadly rivals in the 'Great Game'. At the centre of the conflict is Afghanistan, where soldier-turned-spy Lt Robin Savage is attempting to thwart Russian intelligence. Meanwhile, the woman he loves, Anne Hildreth, witnesses a murder en route to Peshawar... Starring Bill Nighy, Juliet Stevenson, John Rowe. Bhowani Junction - 1946, and India is heading for self-rule. But when Independence comes, what will happen to Anglo-Indians Patrick Taylor and Victoria Jones? As they search for their true identity amidst Britain's turbulent withdrawal, Colonel Rodney Savage hunts for saboteurs seeking to blow up Bhowani's railway... Starring Gary Bond, Sean Barrett and Shireen Shah.

Title: [Spanish] - Los hijos de la Diosa Huracán Author: Daína Chaviano Narrator: Tatiana Flores Infante Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 28 hours 59 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Dos mujeres fuertes y valientes, enfrentadas a la codicia, la barbarie y al crimen, se ven unidas a través de los siglos por un misterioso legado que puede alterar el futuro de Cuba. Una apasionante historia que empezó hace más de quinientos años y que solo ahora puede terminar. Alicia Solomon apenas recuerda algo de sus primeros años de vida. Solo sabe que apareció abandonada en una balsa, de muy pequeña, y que fue recogida por unos marineros en alta mar. Ahora, convertida en una experta en documentos antiguos, se enfrenta al mayor reto de su carrera: descifrar un enigmático manuscrito hallado en una misteriosa tumba indígena no muy lejos de La Habana; una tarea que se vuelve más peligrosa a medida que Alicia se da cuenta de que hay personas dispuestas a matar para que ese texto, escrito por una mujer desconocida en el siglo XVI, jamás vea la luz. Y es que, más de quinientos años atrás, existió un testigo excepcional de la conquista española. Juana, una joven recién llegada a la isla de los huracanes, se convirtió en la voz de esos pueblos sometidos y en el origen de una dinastía valerosa y justa, perseguida por quienes aún hoy no dudarán en eliminar a cuantos se opongan a su codicia y a su insaciable sed de poder. Una aventura plagada de secretos, enigmas, mitos y conspiraciones, que retrata la eterna lucha entre la dignidad y la opresión, entre la inocencia y la más depravada codicia. Reseña: «He disfrutado mucho de Los hijos de la diosa huracán de Daína Chaviano. Un thriller histórico trepidante que pone en valor el legado de los pueblos indígenas anteriores a la colonización española al tiempo que plantea una intriga actual intensa y adictiva.

The Somme, 1916. James Falconer, once a barrow boy on a London market, stands in the trenches, awaiting the command to go over the top. Away from his business empire in London, he is simply a soldier, war the great leveller. But, unlike his men, and unknown to them, deep down, Falconer doesn’t care if he lives or dies. When a face from the past offers James the chance to repair his fractured relationship with his estranged daughter, Leonie, he must decide if he can hold different things dear – and make space in his life for love. But the war has left terrible scars, both personal and professional, and swept huge changes through the glittering world he once inhabited. James must weather myriad storms as he attempts to right past wrongs and build a new life.

Title: Hard Times Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Camden Towne Players Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 27, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: “Do the wise thing and the kind thing too, and make the best of us and not the worst.” “Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them.” ― Charles Dickens, Hard Times Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era. Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town. The story concerns one Thomas Gradgrind, a 'fanatic of the demonstrable fact,' who raises his children, Tom and Louisa, in a stifling and arid atmosphere of grim practicality.

Title: Hard Times Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Camden Towne Players Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 27, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: “Do the wise thing and the kind thing too, and make the best of us and not the worst.” “Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them.” ― Charles Dickens, Hard Times Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era. Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town. The story concerns one Thomas Gradgrind, a 'fanatic of the demonstrable fact,' who raises his children, Tom and Louisa, in a stifling and arid atmosphere of grim practicality.

Title: Scraps of Heaven Author: Arnold Zable Narrator: Evelyn Krape Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 1 minute Release date: November 11, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Scraps of Heaven is a new recording of Arnold Zable’s classic novel set in the post-war immigrant, working-class Melbourne suburb of Carlton. Evoking parallels with the vibrant immigrant neighbourhoods of New York’s Lower East side, and London’s East End, Scraps of Heaven records the travails and hopes of an immigrant Jewish family, interwoven with a multiplicity of characters from many cultures and walks of life. The book is read by renowned Australian actor, Evelyn Krape. As much performance as a reading, Krape channels the diverse voices of the neighbourhood, and performs the song lyrics that are interwoven into the text. The reader is taken on a panoramic journey through the neighbourhood streets, the laneways, the vacant lots, backyard boxing gyms, rundown terrace cottages, and countless other locations. Zable recreates evenings at Melbourne’s Yiddish theatre, the Italian dance halls, and the many spaces where people gathered, and communities were rebuilt. At the heart of the novel are Zofia and Romek, and their son Josh. Zofia, once a performer of Yiddish song in pre-war Poland, is deeply disturbed by a tragic past. Romek, a Yiddish poet, is burdened by the demands of making a living and rebuilding his life, and Josh is drawn to the streets, and respite from the ghosts which inhabit the house. With musical direction by Tomi Kalinski, original compositions by Melbourne musician Gideon Preiss, and audio production by Toby Bender and Marty Lubran— and ranging from Yiddish folk, post-war jazz standards, to popular contemporary hits — the musical references provide a soundscape of the times. Working closely with the author, Evelyn Krape's narration captures the novel’s optimism, edged with the sorrow of a changing world, in a virtuoso performance of a much-loved novel.

Title: [Spanish] - M. - El hijo del siglo Author: Antonio Scurati Narrator: Raúl Rojo, Javier Portugués (portu) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 39 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: La obra definitiva sobre la llegada de Mussolini al poder. PREMIO STREGA 2019 Y UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DE 2020 SEGÚN EL PAÍS, JOTDOWN Y TRENDENCIAS «Se esperaba desde hace décadas. Una obra maestra» Roberto Saviano «Una de las novelas del año.» Ignacio Martínez de Pisón La historia humana está plagada de individuos cuyos nombres perdurarán por siempre; hay otros tan icónicos que se los conoce solo por su nombre de pila. Pero existe otra categoría, la de aquellos que ni siquiera pueden ser nombrados y para quienes basta con una letra: a ella pertenece Benito Mussolini. Esta es la biografía novelada de un hombre y, a través de él, también la de una época entera, la del surgimiento del fascismo. Pero M. El hijo del siglo es sobre todo una historia vibrante, hipnótica, con la profundidad de un ensayo y el ritmo narrativo de la mejor ficción contemporánea, sobre cómo una sociedad decidió entregarse a los delirios de grandeza de un solo hombre. La crítica ha dicho... «Scurati hace una magnífica labor de historiador y escritor: [...] una novela fascinante». Íñigo Errejón, Babelia «Una novela [de] incontestables conquistas literarias [...]. Scurati revisa la historia. Como Yourcenar, Gore Vidal, Sebald, Echenoz o Cercas. [...] Al partisano y narrador Italo Calvino le hubiese encantado». Javier Aparicio Maydeu, El País «Un análisis de la personalidad de Mussolini absolutamente maravilloso porque a través de él pasa todo el siglo XX, esa parte del siglo XX: las entreguerras. Es muy interesante». Joaquín Sabina «Si este año solo vas a leer un libro, que sea éste». Matías Vallés, Diario de Mallorca «Al hilo de Saviano, Cercas, Carrère o Vuillard, Antonio Scurati hace bueno el lema de Manzoni: 'Lo verdadero por tema, lo útil por propósito, lo interesante por medio'». Jorge Sanz Barajas, El Heraldo de Aragón «Un perfecto equilibrio entre investigación histórica e introspección psicológica. [...] Verosímil y dolorosamente real. Aconsejo leer M como una distopía. Lo que nos narra pertenece al ayer, pero podría escribir el mañana». Rafael Narbona, El Cultural de El Mundo «El libro del que todo el mundo está hablando. Una auténtica maravilla». Benjamín Prado, Cadena Ser «Este libro hay que escalarlo. Tiene esa mezcla de literatura e historia que tanto nos gusta: la elegancia de Éric Vuillard y la extensión y el arrojo de Galdós». Sergio del Molino, Más de uno (ONDA0) «Un retrato feroz, sin un ápice de ficción, pero con el pulso de una novela». Javier Ors, La Razón «Scurati ha alcanzado la madurez artística de quien al fin mira cara a cara a sus demonios y puede de una vez por todas ponerle nombre: Mussolini, el nombre de nuestra derrota [...] Scurati nos trae una historia pero también la Historia: la historia de todo el mundo».
