But her elation at being reunited is short-lived as she realizes he still hasn’t forgiven her for her part in the heartbreak that sent him abroad. When Victor enlists, their tentative reconnection is shattered. Will Alice ever see her brother again? While her brother risks his life at Gallipoli, Alice begins to notice the cracks appearing for Edmund, as he tries to protect the world they’ve made for themselves and the happy family life they long for. Every day he’s torn between duty to his country, his moral compass and the desperate need to protect Alice from his powerful father, who could destroy their lives in an instant.  As the war gathers pace and threatens everything she holds dear, can Alice fight to hold onto love in a world torn apart by violence? From the gilded world of high society London to the perilous battlefields of Gallipoli, The Artist’s Wife is an utterly gripping and richly evocative story of an Edwardian family torn apart by war, betrayal and heartbreak.

Meanwhile, in America's deep south, Sam Archer is hatching a plan to raise enough money to get his mother and sister away from his abusive stepfather. Using falsified documents to hide his age, he enlists with the U.S. Army. Two chance encounters bring Ruby and Sam together from opposite sides of the Atlantic, giving them the chance of love, hope and freedom from their troubled lives. But fate, in the shape of D-Day and Omaha Beach, has other ideas. When their very lives are at risk, will their promise to wait for one another be what keeps them alive? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/740667 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/740667]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Wildes: A Novel in Five Acts Author: Louis Bayard Narrator: P.J. Ochlan, Damian Lynch, Elisabeth Rodgers, Louis Bayard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the bestselling author of The Pale Blue Eye comes a brilliantly profound and empathetic story about Oscar Wilde's wife Constance and their two sons in the aftermath of the famous playwright's imprisonment for homosexuality, told against the backdrop of Victorian England and World War I.  In September of 1892, Oscar Wilde and his family retreated to the idyllic Norfolk countryside for a holiday. His wife, Constance, has every reason to be happy: two beautiful sons, a stellar reputation as an advocate for progressive causes, and a delightfully charming and affectionate husband and father, who is perhaps the most famous man in England. But as an assortment of houseguests arrive, including an aristocratic young wannabe poet named Lord Alfred Douglas, Constance gradually—and then all at once—comes to see that her husband's heart is elsewhere and that the growing intensity between the two men threatens the whole foundation of their lives. The Wildes: A Novel in Five Acts revolves around that fateful summer: what happened, and what might have been. When it was exposed, Oscar's affair with Lord Alfred Douglas—Bosie, as he was known—led to Wilde's imprisonment for homosexuality, and the financial and emotional ruin of his family. In Act Two, Bayard reveals Constance and their sons, Cyril and Vyvyan, in exile, forced to sell their possessions, leave England, and hide their identities. Act Three, from the perspective of Cyril, brings readers into the French trenches of World War I, where Cyril must grapple with the kind of man he wants to become, while Act Four reveals Vyvyan in London, years after the war, searching for answers from those who knew his parents. And in a brilliant act of the imagination, Act Five brings the entire cast back together in a surprising, poignant, and tremendously satisfying tableau.  With Louis Bayard's trademark sparkling dialogue, paired with his deep insight into the lives and longings of all his characters—and based on real events—The Wildes could almost have been created by Oscar Wilde himself: lightly told but with hidden depths, it is an entertaining and dramatic story about the human condition.

Title: The Complete Poems Author: Sappho Narrator: Kelli Winkler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 5 minutes Release date: December 25, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Sappho is widely recognized as one of the great poets of world literature, an author whose works have caused her readers to repeat in many different forms Strabo's amazed epithet when he wrote that she could only be called 'a marvel.' The reception of Sappho's poetry even through the twentieth century offers a case study of the conflicts induced by the sexual preferences she seemingly alludes to in her verse. Little is known with certainty about the life of Sappho, or Psappha in her native Aeolic dialect. She was born probably about 620 B.C. to an aristocratic family on the island of Lesbos during a great cultural flowering in the area. In antiquity Sappho was regularly counted among the greatest of poets and was often referred to as 'the Poetess,' just as Homer was called 'the Poet.

Title: Through a Darkening Glass: A Novel Author: R. S. Maxwell Narrator: Eilidh Beaton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 10 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A mesmerizing World War II mystery about a Londoner who flees the city to write a novel and finds a truth stranger than fiction. England, 1940. Literature student Ruth Gladstone evacuates Cambridge University for Martynsborough, a tiny English village with a shadowy history. For Ruth, retreating to a forgotten corner of the country is more than a safety maneuver; it’s an opportunity to end an undesirable engagement and begin writing her first novel. But upon her arrival, Ruth learns of a ghostly wraith haunting the villagers after decades of silence. Although Ruth is enthralled by the legend, the locals are less charmed by the wraith’s return. They blame the evacuees—and among them, Ruth—for stirring up restless spirits. Undeterred, Ruth joins forces with Malcolm, an injured soldier, to unravel the mystery of the wraith. As Ruth and Malcolm draw closer to the truth, they’ll unearth long-buried secrets that could threaten them both…even as they craft a forbidden love story of their own. R. S.

Through Shinonome's teachings, fifteen-year-old Ichi begins to understand the intertwined power of sex and money. Education for a courtesan extends beyond the art of seduction, and as Ichi is taught to read and write she develops a voice that refuses to be dampened by the brothel's rigid hierarchy. Outside the cloistered world of the red-light district, rumours of local worker strikes grow, and as the seasons change in Kumamoto, Ichi, Shinonome and their fellow courtesans begin to wonder how they might redistribute the power and wealth of the brothels among themselves. Critically acclaimed veteran writer Kiyoko Murata creates in stunning detail the harsh yet vibrant lives of women in a red-light district at the turn of the twentieth century. Based on real-life events, A Woman of Pleasure is a testament to the bonds between women and the power of owning one's language and freedom.

Title: The Shadow Key: A Novel Author: Susan Stokes-Chapman Narrator: Richard Harrington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “The Shadow Key ushers us into Gothic darkness. . . . What sets this novel above your run-of-the-mill Gothic dread-fest is Stokes-Chapman’s skillful deployment . . . and above all, narrator Richard Harrington’s masterly performance. A Welshman himself, Harrington has a beautiful, dark brushy voice that alters in pitch to capture men and women and darkens as the perfidy and malevolence unfold. He brings such lyric grace to the occasional Welsh-language passages that they become as haunting and seductive as music.” — The Washington Post On an isolated estate in late-eighteenth-century rural Wales, a young English doctor uncovers dangerous secrets that may threaten his own life in this spellbinding Gothic tale from the bestselling author of Pandora. Dismissed from his post at a prestigious London hospital, Dr. Henry Talbot has little choice but to accept a mysterious offer of employment as a private physician from an inscrutable lord in rural Wales, Lord Julian. Arriving at Plas Helyg, the isolated estate, Henry can’t speak the language and finds himself treated with hostile suspicion by superstitious villagers, whose beliefs in myths and magic he’s inclined to dismiss. But when he discovers that his predecessor died under peculiar, inexplicable circumstances, his determination to uncover the truth leads him down a path fraught with danger—made all the more perilous by his headstrong, reluctant ally Linette, Lord Julian’s cousin. Linette has lived a lonely life as Plas Helyg’s unconventional mistress: Julian treats her with disdain, her father is long dead, and her mother, long plagued by strange spells and believed by everyone around her to be deeply unwell, spends most of her time locked away in her rooms. Fiercely self-reliant, Linette refuses to wear women’s clothes, has no interest in marriage, and takes an interest in the welfare of the men working in Lord Julian’s mines, against his wishes. Linette has always suspected something is not quite right in the village, but it is only through Henry's dogged investigations that the dark truth about those closest to her will come to light—a truth that will bind hers and Henry's destinies together forever in ways neither thought possible.

Title: The Last Secret: A Novel Author: Maia Caron Narrator: Vieslav Krystyan, Mariya Khomutova, Sergey Nagorny, Nicole Bauman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 6 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: •INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER• A sweeping, dazzling dual-timeline novel centering on two unforgettable women—and their inextricable link to each other decades apart. Ukraine, 1944 As the world around her is ripped apart by war and infiltrated by Nazi soldiers, Savka Ivanets works as a medic for the Ukrainian resistance, stitching wounds by day, stealing supplies by night, and dodging firefights between the SS and Soviet partisans. When her husband, Marko, a reluctant member of the Waffen-SS, forces her to deliver a coded message to an underground bunker, she’s terrified. But when her mission doesn’t go as planned, and her son, Taras, is kidnapped by the KGB, Savka fears she’ll never see him again. Salt Spring Island, 1972 For Jeanie Esterhazy, the world, with its whispers and curious eyes, is too much to bear. Ever since the horrific accident that left her badly scarred, Jeanie, unable to remember anything about that awful day, has pulled away from society, utterly isolated. Then a mysterious stranger appears at her house, and Jeanie suddenly begins having flashbacks about the night of her wedding—flashbacks that hold answers to the questions she’s had for years; flashbacks that make her realize the world around her is not as it seems.   Weaving together Savka and Jeanie's stories with artful precision, The Last Secret is at once luminous and transporting, a brilliant and impossible-to-forget story of love, hope, and the breathtaking resilience of women.

Title: The Haunting of Moscow House Author: Olesya Salnikova Gilmore Narrator: Olesya Salnikova Gilmore, Saskia Maarleveld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In this elegant gothic horror tale set in post-revolutionary Russia, two formerly aristocratic sisters race to uncover their family’s long-buried secrets in a house haunted by a past dangerous—and deadly—to remember. It is the summer of 1921, and a group of Bolsheviks have taken over Irina and Lili Goliteva’s ancestral home in Moscow, a stately mansion falling into disrepair and decay. The remaining members of their family are ordered to move into the cramped attic, while the officials take over an entire wing of grand rooms downstairs. The sisters understand it is the way of things and know they must forget their noble upbringing to make their way in this new Soviet Russia. But the house begins to whisper of a traumatic past not as dead as they thought. Eager to escape it and their unwelcome new landlords, Irina and Lili find jobs with the recently arrived American Relief Administration, meant to ease the post-revolutionary famine in Russia. For the sisters, the ARA provides much-needed food and employment, as well as a chance for sensible Irina to help those less fortunate and artistic Lili to express herself for a good cause. It might just lead them to love, too. But at home, the spirits of their deceased family awaken, desperate to impart what really happened to them during the Revolution. Soon one of the officials living in the house is found dead. Was his death caused by something supernatural, or by someone all too human? And are Irina and Lili and their family next? Only unearthing the frightening secrets of Moscow House will reveal all. But this means the sisters must dig deep into a past no one in Russia except the dead are allowed to remember.

Title: The Mesmerist: A Novel Author: Caroline Woods Narrator: Carlotta Brentan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: AN NPR BOOK OF THE YEAR • A tightly plotted page-turner ripped from the headlines of history, as three very different women must work together to stop a killer and save the truest home they've ever known. Before hypnotism, there was Mesmerism. And in 1894 Minneapolis, in the wake of a national financial crisis, spiritualism of every stripe is all the rage, and women are dying under mysterious circumstances. But until a new guest lands at the Bethany Home for Unwed Mothers, refusing to speak or explain her arrival, the sordid stories of unexplained deaths seem unconnected. Faith’s reticence is quickly interpreted as malevolence, setting the house abuzz with whispers of dark magic. Abby, a staunch Quaker, lifelong supporter of progressive causes, and the Bethany Home’s treasurer, thinks the rumors of mystical powers swirling around Faith are nonsense, but she recognizes the danger of a good story. Unwilling to allow the Home’s important mission to be clouded by scandal, Abby tasks Faith’s roommate, May, with tracing Faith’s path to the Bethany Home. May is desperate to end her year at Bethany Home engaged and on track to her happily-ever-after—even if her prince charming is Hal, a man she’s not sure she can trust. She uncovers a Minneapolis she never expected as she begins digging into Faith’s shadowy background, and her investigation brings her closer to polite society and Hal than she could have dreamed. The more May learns, the more she’s forced to question the motives of everyone around her, including Abby and Faith, and as more women turn up dead, May must reevaluate the future she wants, and which lies she’s willing to tell, for whom. Rich with tension, suspicion, and sharply observed characters, Caroline Woods reimagines a classic American genre through the eyes of three bold, unforgettable women.

Title: Eleanore of Avignon: A Novel Author: Elizabeth Delozier Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 34 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A Library Reads Pick!  An Amazon Best Book of the Month! An Aardvark Book Club Pick!  Rich with unforgettable characters, gorgeously drawn, and full of captivating historical drama, Eleanore of Avignon is the story of a healer who risks her life, her freedom, and everything she holds dear to protect her beloved city from the encroaching Black Death Provence, 1347. Eleanore (Elea) Blanchet is a young midwife and herbalist with remarkable skills. But as she learned the day her mother died, the most dangerous thing a woman can do is draw attention to herself. She attends patients in her home city of Avignon, spends time with her father and twin sister, gathers herbs in the surrounding woods, and dreams of the freedom to pursue her calling without fear. In a chance encounter, Elea meets Guigo de Chauliac, the enigmatic personal physician to the powerful Pope Clement, and strikes a deal with him to take her on as his apprentice. Under Chauliac’s tutelage she hones her skills as a healer, combining her knowledge of folk medicine with anatomy, astrology, and surgical techniques. Then, two pieces of earth-shattering news: the Black Death has made landfall in Europe, and the disgraced Queen Joanna is coming to Avignon to stand trial for her husband’s murder. She is pregnant and in need of a midwife, a role only Elea can fill. The queen’s childbirth approaches as the plague spreads like wildfire, leaving half the city dead in its wake. The people of Avignon grow desperate for a scapegoat and a group of religious heretics launch a witch hunt, one that could cost Elea—an intelligent, talented, unwed woman—everything.

Title: [Spanish] - Mentir es encender fuego Author: Francisco Panera Narrator: Silvia G.Lasil Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 31 minutes Release date: December 21, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Que la historia la escriben los vencedores es tan cierto como que en el alma de las leyendas anidan aspectos reales y fantásticos. Es así que cuenta una antigua leyenda vasca que, al menos una vez, los vizcaínos hicieron frente al poder del monarca asturiano infligiéndole una gran derrota, pero ninguno de los escasos cronistas del reino astur-leonés, dejó constancia de tal acontecimiento por escrito para la posteridad. Francisco Panera se ha inspirado en la llamada leyenda de Jaun Zuria, El señor Blanco, y la mítica batalla de Padura (que, según se cuenta, fue el germen del futuro Señorío de Bizkaia) para dar forma novelada a un acontecimiento arraigado en el imaginario popular vasco. El autor recurre a la leyenda para recrear una narración casi coral, en la que numerosos y variados personajes conforman varias tramas condenadas a converger. Desde la corte asturiana a la de una incipiente Escocia, desde los desvaríos asesinos de un siniestro bandido a la obstinación de una mujer por hacer valer su linaje por encima de todo. Desde la tormentosa relación de dos muchachas en un extraño triángulo amoroso a la obstinación de unos hombres y mujeres por mantenerse fieles a sus cultos ahora llamados paganos. Desde los juegos políticos de un joven caballero a la obstinación de un fraile por liberar la tierra de paganos y salvar sus impías almas... Y de fondo, como si fuese la música que acompañará la lectura del relato, la mentira y el peso de la culpa para sostenerla, pues la mentira, como dice un personaje en la novela, es tan necesaria para la vida como la verdad, fraguándose con ella un mortero que mantendrá cohesionado el mundo. Aunque, a pesar de ello, siempre queda un rastro, similar a los restos de una hoguera ya apagada, un rastro imposible de borrar, porque no cabe duda de que Mentir, es encender fuego.

Title: [German] - Auf Feindfahrt Teil II - Wölfe der See: Zweiter Weltkrieg: Marine-Thriller über ein deutsches U-Boot im Einsatz (Auf Feindfahrt - Romanreihe über deutsche U-Boote im Einsatz, Band 2) Author: Stefan Köhler Narrator: Stefan Bergmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 59 minutes Release date: December 22, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Kaleu Wegener und seine U-Boot-Männer von U 139 sind zurück in der Nervenkitzel-Fortsetzung zu Stefan Köhlers U-Boot-Bestseller 'Auf Feindfahrt mit U 139'! Wir schreiben das Jahr 1943. Immer mehr deutsche U-Boote kehren von ihrer Feindfahrt nicht zurück, immer mehr Matrosen finden auf dem Grund der Weltmeere ihr nasses Grab. Die hohen Verluste sorgen dafür, dass die U-Boote der alten Garde einige erfahrene Männer an neue Boote abgeben müssen. Der frischgebackene Leutnant Dahlen gelangt somit als Erster Wachoffizier an Bord von U 228. Derweil hat die Aufklärung einen gewaltigen alliierten Geleitzug ausgemacht, der mutmaßlich Truppen nach Europa verschifft. Die Befehle der Flottille sind klar: Alle verfügbaren U-Boote laufen aus, bilden ein Wolfsrudel und heften sich an den Geleitzug, um so viele Schiffe wie möglich zu versenken. Somit stechen auch U 139 unter Kaleu Wegener und U 228 in See. Für Leutnant Dahlen beginnt dabei ein persönlicher Spießrutenlauf an Bord von U 228: Sein Kommandant ist ein unerfahrener Napola-Absolvent, dessen blinder Fanatismus das gesamte U-Boot in große Gefahr bringt. Und dann geraten sie schon an den Feind. Die Augen der Männer blicken an die Decke, als das unverwechselbare Stampfen des feindlichen Zerstörers erklingt. Im nächsten Augenblick erfolgt schon das unbarmherzige Ping-Ping-Ping des ASDIC-Strahls, der nach U 228 greift, um es zu orten. Der Jäger wird zum Gejagten … »Auf Feindfahrt Teil II – Wölfe der See« ist ein spannungsgeladener und erschütternder Roman, der den Krieg zur See auf realistische Weise nachzeichnet. Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Macht vermochten die deutschen U-Boote jährlich mehr als 8 Millionen Bruttoregistertonnen Schiffsraum zu versenken. Den Preis dafür zahlten die deutschen U-Boot-Fahrer. Von der Propaganda gefeiert, kehrten viele von ihnen nicht von ihren gefahrvollen Feindfahrten zurück.

Title: North Author: Brad Kessler Narrator: Brad Kessler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 48 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A powerfully moving novel about the intertwined lives of a Vermont monk, a Somali refugee, and an Afghan war veteran, by the author of the acclaimed memoir Goat Song As a late spring blizzard brews, Father Christopher, a cloistered monk at Blue Mountain Monastery in Vermont, rushes to tend to his Ida Red and Northern Spy apple trees in advance of the unseasonal storm. When snow brings a young Somali refugee, Sahro Abdi Muse, to the monastery, Christopher is pulled back into the world and their lives intersect in surprising and illuminating ways.

Written in Brad Kessler’s sharp, beautiful prose and grounded in the author’s own experience among cloistered monks, resettled Somali refugees in Vermont, and local veterans, North gives voice to these invisible communities while investigating the idea of sanctuary and the hope of human connection in a time of displacement. “A beautiful and moving tale, Kessler’s North is tender, dazzling, and wise.”—Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek Brad Kessler Tue, 03 Sep 2024 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738800 thebookvoice.com 8:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738800]]> to listen full audiobooks.

When American WWII bombardier Micah Lund dies on a mission over Japan, his spirit remains trapped as a yurei ghost. Dazed, he follows Kiyomi Oshiro, a war widow struggling to care for her young daughter, Ai, as food is scarce, work at the factory is brutal, and her in-laws treat her like a servant. Watching Kiyomi and Ai together, Micah's intolerance for the enemy is challenged. As his concern for the mother and daughter grows, so does his guilt for his part in their suffering.

Hiroshima is about to be bombed, and Micah must warn Kiyomi and her daughter. In a place where dreams are real, Micah races against time to save Kiyomi and Ai, while battling the old beliefs as a soldier and his idea of family.

Instead, she works in a corset factory, striving to earn enough to support her disabled son. When even that livelihood is threatened, Tucia is left with one option—to join a wily, charismatic showman named Huey and become part of his traveling medicine show. Her medical license lends the show a pretense of credibility, but the cures and tonics Tucia is forced to peddle are little more than purgatives and bathwater. Loathing the duplicity, even as she finds uneasy kinship with the other misfit performers, Tucia vows to leave as soon as her debts are paid and start a new life with her son—if Huey will ever let her go. When the show reaches Galveston, Texas, Tucia tries to break free from Huey, only to be pulled even deeper into his schemes. But there is a far greater reckoning ahead, as a September storm becomes a devastating hurricane that will decimate the Gulf Coast—and challenge Tucia to recover her belief in medicine, in the goodness of others—and in herself.

Title: Fort Buzzard Series: #6 of Preacher & MacCallister Author: J.A. Johnstone, William W. Johnstone Narrator: J. Rodney Turner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: They were innocent men, slaughtered in the Rockies. A party of land surveyors who met their grisly fate at the hands of the Crow Indians—or so it seems. Some folks think the story is a lie. And now it's up to US Army Lieutenant Ron Stanton to figure out what really happened up there in those desolate, blood-soaked mountains. As his guides, Preacher and Jamie McCallister agree to retrace the footsteps of the doomed party—come hell or high water—but first they'll have to pass through a particularly nasty piece of purgatory known as Fort Buzzard . . . Fort Buzzard—officially Gullickson's Fort—earned its nefarious nickname because of the human vultures it attracts. Namely the brutes and brawlers hired by Gullickson to protect his interests. When a nearby trading post is suddenly attacked—and two young women carried off by Indians—Preacher and McCallister smell a rat. The Crows swear they're not responsible for the attack, the abduction, or the mountain party massacre. Preacher and McCallister believe them—but proving it won't be easy.

Rodney Turner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: They were innocent men, slaughtered in the Rockies. A party of land surveyors who met their grisly fate at the hands of the Crow Indians—or so it seems. Some folks think the story is a lie. And now it's up to US Army Lieutenant Ron Stanton to figure out what really happened up there in those desolate, blood-soaked mountains. As his guides, Preacher and Jamie McCallister agree to retrace the footsteps of the doomed party—come hell or high water—but first they'll have to pass through a particularly nasty piece of purgatory known as Fort Buzzard . . . Fort Buzzard—officially Gullickson's Fort—earned its nefarious nickname because of the human vultures it attracts. Namely the brutes and brawlers hired by Gullickson to protect his interests. When a nearby trading post is suddenly attacked—and two young women carried off by Indians—Preacher and McCallister smell a rat. The Crows swear they're not responsible for the attack, the abduction, or the mountain party massacre. Preacher and McCallister believe them—but proving it won't be easy.

Title: The Colony Club: A Novel Author: Shelley Noble Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From New York Times bestselling author Shelley Noble comes a thrilling historical novel about the inception of the Colony Club, the first women’s club of its kind, set against the dazzling backdrop of Gilded Age New York.  When young Gilded Age society matron Daisy Harriman is refused a room at the Waldorf because they don’t cater to unaccompanied females, she takes matters into her own hands. She establishes the Colony Club, the first women’s club in Manhattan, where visiting women can stay overnight and dine with their friends; where they can discuss new ideas, take on social issues, and make their voices heard. She hires the most sought-after architect in New York, Stanford White, to design the clubhouse. As “the best dressed actress on the Rialto” Elsie de Wolfe has an eye for décor, but her career is stagnating. So when White asks her to design the clubhouse interiors, she jumps at the chance and the opportunity to add a woman’s touch. He promises to send her an assistant, a young woman he’s hired as a draftsman. Raised in the Lower East Side tenements, Nora Bromely is determined to become an architect in spite of hostility and sabotage from her male colleagues. She is disappointed and angry when White “foists” her off on this new women’s club project. But when White is murdered and the ensuing Trial of the Century discloses the architect’s scandalous personal life, fearful backers begin to withdraw their support. It’s questionable whether the club will survive long enough to open. Daisy, Elsie, and Nora have nothing in common but their determination to carry on. But to do so, they must overcome not only society’s mores but their own prejudices about women, wealth, and each other. Together they strive to transform Daisy’s dream of the Colony Club into a reality, a place that will nurture social justice and ensure the work of the women who earned the nickname “Mink Brigade” far into the future.

Someone is determined to betray her as a Jew, but she has survived against incredible odds, and the end is in sight. She will be reunited with her precious children, no matter what it takes. Meanwhile, Liesl and Erich have found a home in Ireland away from the chaos of war-ravaged Europe. As the dark news of what has happened to the Jews filters through, they are torn - love for their mother and their home on one hand, and the profound sense of peace and belonging they have in Ballycreggan on the other. Like all of the other children who escaped Nazi territory on the Kindertransport, they must wait to hear the fate of their loved ones. For their foster parents, Elizabeth and Daniel, their dearest wish, that Ariella would survive the war, is also their deepest fear. Would her return mean the loss of the children they have come to think of as their own? As the Third Reich crumbles under relentless Allied bombs, Ariella is careful, but Berlin is a very dangerous place to be, and somebody knows she survived.

Title: [Spanish] - Flor de arrabal Author: Carmen Santos Narrator: Charo Soria Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 46 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: La emocionante historia de una mujer que supo luchar contra el destino para convertirse en una estrella del espectáculo a principios del siglo XX. En el arrabal zaragozano donde vivía, pocos pensaban que Flor, aquella niña nacida en uno de sus hogares más humildes, estaba destinada a convertirse en una de las grandes figuras de los escenarios, primero en España y luego en toda Europa. Un camino difícil, sembrado de duras pruebas, que la lleva primero a Madrid y, más tarde, a Barcelona, París, Berlín y la lejana Cuba. A lo largo de esa carrera en pos del éxito, Flor va descubriendo el amor, el desengaño, la amistad, el temor y la obsesión. Y a la vez, su vida se sumerge en los convulsos acontecimientos de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, unos años marcados por las revueltas anarquistas, el auge del fascismo y el horror de la guerra. Escrita con la sensibilidad y el pulso de las grandes narradoras, Flor de arrabal nos ofrece la historia de una mujer valiente y entregada al amor, y un apasionante retrato de una Europa vibrante y convulsa.

Title: The Allegory of the Cave Author: Plato Narrator: Peter Coates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 9 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare 'the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature'. It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter.

All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Books VII and VIII (531d–534e). Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.

There is one of the most famous dialogues of Plato about the arrangement of the state structure and the essence of the state (contemporary for Plato, of course, but also important nowadays because the whole modern so called 'European civilisation' is based, first of all, on ancient schemes). The structure of Plato's dialogue is similar to others. Socrates and Glaucon are coming back to Athens from Piraeus. They are stopped by Polemarchus who invites them to visit him and talk. The subjects of a state and justice appeared during the conversation with Cephalus, the father of Polemarchus.

In fact, it's a defensive speech of Socrates that he said in a court noted down by Plato. The main subject of the speech is a problem of the evil. Socrates insists that neither death nor death sentence is evil. We shouldn't be afraid of the death because we don't know anything about it. Socrates proved that the death shouldn't be taken as the evil with the following dilemma: the death is either a peace or a transit from this life to the next. Both can't be called evil. Consequently, the death shouldn't be treated as evil.

Title: [German] - Eine Fingerkuppe Freiheit (ungekürzt): Historischer Roman Author: Thomas Zwerina Narrator: Josef Vossenkuhl Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 53 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: '… der Junge wird Euch mit seinen sieben Jahren die Fantasie lehren wie ein Michelangelo die Farbe…' Paris 1821, am Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles, Frankreichs nationaler Blindenanstalt: Es ist die 'Nachtschrift' eines gewissen Charles Barbier, die den blinden Louis Braille in tiefes Grübeln versetzt. Fasziniert streicht der Junge mit den Fingerkuppen über die erhabenen Zeichen und stellt sich die eine Frage: Ist diese Schrift, die ursprünglich als Geheimschrift für das Militär ersonnen war, etwa das Vehikel in die Freiheit?

Fasziniert streicht der Junge mit den Fingerkuppen über die erhabenen Zeichen und stellt sich die eine Frage: Ist diese Schrift, die ursprünglich als Geheimschrift für das Militär ersonnen war, etwa das Vehikel in die Freiheit?

Title: [Russian] - Зеркало и свет Author: хилари мантел Narrator: павел конышев Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 41 hours 22 minutes Release date: May 20, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Впервые на русском — 'триумфальный финал завораживающей саги' (NPR), долгожданное завершение прославленной трилогии о Томасе Кромвеле, правой руке короля Генриха VIII, начатой романами 'Вулфхолл' ('лучший Букеровский лауреат за много лет', Scotsman) и 'Введите обвиняемых', также получившим Букера, — случай, беспрецедентный за всю историю премии. Мантел 'воссоздала самый важный период новой английской истории: величайший английский прозаик современности оживляет известнейшие эпизоды из прошлого Англии', говорил председатель Букеровского жюри сэр Питер Стотард. Итак, после казни Анны Болейн и женитьбы короля на Джейн Сеймур позиции Кромвеля сильны как никогда. Он подавляет Благодатное паломничество — восстание католиков, спровоцированное закрытием монастырей, — и один из руководителей восстания, лорд Дарси, перед казнью пророчески предупреждает Кромвеля, что королевская милость не вечна. Казалось бы, хорошо известно, чем кончится эта история, — однако роман Мантел читается увлекательнее любого детектива… В 2015 году телеканал Би-би-си экранизировал 'Вулфхолл' и 'Введите обвиняемых', главные роли исполнили Марк Райлэнс ('Еще одна из рода Болейн', 'Шпионский мост', 'Дюнкерк'), Дэмиэн Льюис ('Ромео и Джульетта', 'Однажды в… Голливуде'), Клер Фой ('Опочтарение', 'Корона', 'Человек на Луне'). Сериал, известный по-русски как 'Волчий зал', был номинирован на премию 'Золотой глобус' в трех категориях (выиграл в одной), на BAFTA — в восьми (выиграл в трех) и на 'Эмми' — тоже в восьми. хилари мантел Thu, 20 May 2021 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737455 thebookvoice.com 41:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737455]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Russian] - Фламандская доска Author: артуро перес-реверте Narrator: владимир голицын Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 21 minutes Release date: August 20, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Неоконченная шахматная партия на картине фламандского художника и загадочная надпись, обнаруженная на ней под слоем краски, становятся ключом в расследовании жестоких убийств, которые происходят в наши дни. Каждый из героев романа превращается в шахматную фигуру, которая участвует в развернувшейся вокруг дьявольской игре. И безмолвная драма, отраженная в картине, получает странное продолжение спустя несколько веков. Живопись и математика, логика и история ставятся в романе на службу точному, идеально проработанному сюжету из мира коллекционеров и антикваров. Действие уводит героев в прошлое и заставляет обнаружить, что время не властно над человеческими страстями. И, в отличие от шахмат, в реальности 'ничто не бывает только черным или белым': добро легко обращается в зло, а жертва в палача. артуро перес-реверте Fri, 20 Aug 2021 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737456 thebookvoice.com 13:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737456]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Russian] - Узница Шато-Гайара Author: морис дрюон Narrator: павел конышев Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Мориса Дрюона читающая публика знает прежде всего по саге 'Проклятые короли', открывшей мрачные тайны Средневековья. За каждым произведением цикла стояла кропотливая работа в Национальном архиве, изучение документов, написанных на архаичном французском или на латыни. После романа 'Железный король' эту серию исторических фресок продолжает 'Узница Шато-Гайара'. Зловещая тень пала на Францию. В день солнечного затмения скончался Филипп IV Красивый, прозванный Железным королем. Он строил крепости, преобразовывал законы и всеми силами охранял независимость Франции. Двадцатипятилетний Людовик, унаследовавший отцовский трон, был не слишком пригоден к этой роли. Его главные жизненные достижения - репутация рогоносца и нелестное прозвище: Сварливый. Прежде всего его заботит не судьба государства, а восстановление супружеской чести. Отныне судьба королевы-изменницы – в руках монарха?

Title: The Instrumentalist Author: Harriet Constable Narrator: Emilia Clarke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 55 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 5 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Music, intoxication, and betrayal combine in this “immersive, impassioned” (The Guardian) debut novel inspired by the true story of Anna Maria della Pietà, a Venetian orphan and violin prodigy who studied under Antonio Vivaldi and ultimately became his star musician—and his biggest muse. “The Instrumentalist is more than a history lesson—with this novel, Constable has crafted an engrossing tale about an unexpected coup de musique.” —The New York Times Anna Maria della Pietà was destined to drown in one of Venice’s canals. Instead, she became the greatest violinist of the 18th century. Anna Maria has only known life inside the Pietà, an orphanage for children born of prostitutes. But the girls of the Pietà are lucky in a sense: most babies born of their station were drowned in the city’s canals. And despite the strict rules, the girls are given singing and music lessons from an early age. The most promising musicians have the chance to escape the fate of the rest: forced marriage to anyone who will have them. Anna Maria is determined to be the best violinist there is—and whatever Anna Maria sets out to do, she achieves. After all, the stakes for Anna could not be higher. But it is 1704 and she is a girl. The pursuit of her ambition will test everything she holds dear, especially when it becomes clear that her instructor, Antonio Vivaldi, will teach Anna everything he knows—but not without taking something in return. From the opulent palaces of Venice to its mud-licked canals, The Instrumentalist is a “searing portrait of ambition and betrayal” (Elizabeth MacNeal, author of The Doll Factory). It is the story of one woman’s irrepressible ambition and rise to the top. It is also the story of the orphans of Venice who overcame destitution and abuse to make music, and whose contributions to some of the most important works of classical music, including “The Four Seasons,” have been overlooked for too long. For fans of The Queen’s Gambit and Fingersmith, The Instrumentalist is an “enthralling, passionate, vivid” (Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies) exploration of art and ambition, genius and exploitation, and loss and triumph.

Title: Circus of Mirrors Author: Julie Owen Moylan Narrator: Kristin Atherton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 27 minutes Release date: September 12, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. BERLIN, 1926: After the death of their parents, sisters Leni and Annette only have each other. Desperate, but dreaming of better days, Leni finds work at a notorious cabaret: the Babylon Circus. From the dancer’s barely-there costumes, to the glimmering mirrors that cover the walls, the Babylon Circus is where reality and fantasy merge. For Leni, it’s an overwhelming new world, and she’s happiest hiding in the shadows. Until she meets the cabaret’s resident pianist, Paul. And so begins a tentative love affair that will play out over the next forty years. But, in a city whose divisions will define a century, can a love born within the feverish walls of the Babylon Circus ever survive? And can the bond between Leni and Annette – tugged in opposite directions of their own – also endure? In Berlin, two sisters dared to dream of a better life – but where in this dark and dazzling city will they find their true home? 'Julie Owen Moylan writes about mid-20th century women like no-one else' Laura Price 'Sexy, electrically stylish, and beautiful . . . a glamorous passport to a period we all long to get lost in' Daisy Buchanan 'An almost unbearably poignant story of missed chances, long-hidden lies and women fighting the odds to grab happiness where they can' Frances Quinn 'Immersive, tender, simmering with secrets' Alex Hay 'An all-singing, all-dancing, moving and masterful book about two complex sisters living in incredibly complex times . . .

From Moji’s house on Sun Street, listeners experience the 1979 Iranian revolution through the eyes of a young girl and her family members during a time of concussive political and social change. Moji must endure the harrowing first days of the violent revolution, a fraught passage to the US where there is only hostility from her classmates during the Iranian hostage crisis, her father’s detainment by the Islamic Revolutionary Army, and finally, the massive change in the status of women in post-revolution Iran. Along with these seismic shifts, for Moji, there are also the universal perils of love, sexuality, and adolescence. However, since Moji’s school is centered on political indoctrination, even a young girl’s innocent crush can mean catastrophe. Is Moji able to pull through? Will her family come to her rescue? And just like Scheherazade, will the power of stories help her prevail?

Schweigen? Oder aufstehen und kämpfen? Als Kinder werden Fanny und Jakob vom Staat an Bauern verschachert. Eine Zeit voller harter Arbeit und Entbehrungen, aber sie haben einander. Nie allein, schwören sie sich, doch dann lenkt ein tragisches Unglück ihr Leben in zwei völlig unterschiedliche Richtungen. Fünfzehn Jahre später, 1968, stehen sie sich in Zürich überraschend wieder gegenüber. Um sie herum demonstrieren Studenten für mehr Freiheiten und Frauen für ihr Stimmrecht. Während Jakob in den Unruhen seine Chance sieht, sich für das an ihnen verübte Unrecht zu rächen, klammert sich Fanny an den konservativen Traditionen fest – bis sie erneut alles zu verlieren droht.

Title: The Inheritance of Loss Author: Kiran Desai Narrator: Meera Simhan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 14 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Kiran Desai's first novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, was published to unanimous acclaim in over twenty-two countries. Now Desai takes us to the northeastern Himalayas where a rising insurgency challenges the old way of life. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga lives an embittered old judge who wants to retire in peace when his orphaned granddaughter Sai arrives on his doorstep. The judge's chatty cook watches over her, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS, forced to consider his country's place in the world. When a Nepalese insurgency in the mountains threatens Sai's new-sprung romance with her handsome Nepali tutor and causes their lives to descend into chaos, they, too, are forced to confront their colliding interests. The nation fights itself. The cook witnesses the hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge must revisit his past, his own role in this grasping world of conflicting desires-every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal. A novel of depth and emotion, Desai's second, long-awaited novel fulfills the grand promise established by her first.

She loves her art teacher mother, her professor father, and even her annoying little brother (most of the time). But when tragedy strikes, she’s sent to England, a place she knows only from her mother’s stories. To her dismay, she finds the much-lauded estate dilapidated, the food tasteless, the weather grey. Worse still, her mother’s family are cold and distant. With one exception: her cousin Liv. Free-spirited Liv has always wanted to break free of her joyless family. She becomes fiercely protective of her little cousin, and her warmth and kindness give Funke a place to heal. The two girls grow into adulthood the closest of friends. But the choices their mothers made haunt Funke and Liv and when a second tragedy occurs their friendship is torn apart. Against the long shadow of their shared family history, each woman will struggle to chart a path forward, separated by country, misunderstanding, and ambition. Moving between Somerset and Lagos over the course of two decades, This Motherless Land is a sweeping examination of identity, culture, race, and love that asks how we find belonging and whether a family’s generational wrongs can be righted.

In his 68 years, Bates wrote over 20 further novels, more than 300 short stories, children’s books, poems, plays and non-fiction. This collection brings together three full-cast BBC Radio dramatisations and fourteen excellent readings, rounding off with extracts from HE Bates autobiographies. His wartime bestseller Fair Stood the Wind for France is a classic tale of danger, suspense and romance, centred around a British aircrew who ditch in Occupied France, and their attempts to survive and escape. This BBC radio dramatisation stars Rory Kinnear, Tom Goodman-Hill and Louise Brealey. Adapted from HE Bates’ semi-autobiographical 1952 novel, Love for Lydia charts the romance between a young reporter and a shy heiress. Tim Pigott-Smith and Juliet Aubrey star in this moving story of first love. Death of a Huntsman, based on Bates’ 1957 novella, is a vintage radio drama about a middle-aged businessman who finds himself strangely drawn to his ex-lover’s daughter. It stars Roger Delgado and Pauline Letts. Described by Graham Greene as ‘the English Chekhov’, HE Bates was much acclaimed for his short fiction. Included here are 14 of his best tales, beginning with five stories taken from his 1957 collection Sugar for the Horse. Featuring his much-loved character Uncle Silas, they include ‘The Widder’, ‘The Blue Feather’, ‘Queenie White’, ‘The Singing Pig’ and ‘Aunt Tibby’. They are read by David Neal, who also reads six more bucolic tales: ‘Time’, ‘Chaff in the Wind’, ‘The Maker of Coffins’, ‘The Cowslip Field’, ‘Loss of Pride’ and ‘Great Uncle Crow’.

Tim Pigott-Smith and Juliet Aubrey star in this moving story of first love. Death of a Huntsman, based on Bates’ 1957 novella, is a vintage radio drama about a middle-aged businessman who finds himself strangely drawn to his ex-lover’s daughter. It stars Roger Delgado and Pauline Letts. Described by Graham Greene as ‘the English Chekhov’, HE Bates was much acclaimed for his short fiction. Included here are 14 of his best tales, beginning with five stories taken from his 1957 collection Sugar for the Horse. Featuring his much-loved character Uncle Silas, they include ‘The Widder’, ‘The Blue Feather’, ‘Queenie White’, ‘The Singing Pig’ and ‘Aunt Tibby’. They are read by David Neal, who also reads six more bucolic tales: ‘Time’, ‘Chaff in the Wind’, ‘The Maker of Coffins’, ‘The Cowslip Field’, ‘Loss of Pride’ and ‘Great Uncle Crow’. A further three stories, ‘The Primrose Place’, ‘The Small Portion’ and ‘The Sun of December’, are read by Kim Hicks, John Rowe and Anthony Hyde.

A genealogical quest takes Van back 100 years to the Iowa prairie in search of an ancestor no one has claimed. As Van Reinhardt clears out her father's belongings, she comes across a request penned by her father prior to his death. Examining the family portrait of her German immigrant ancestors that he has left her, Van's curiosity grows about one of the children portrayed there. Meanwhile in the 1870s, Kate is a German immigrant newly arrived in America with only her brother as family.

Title: A Song Over Miskwaa Rapids: A Novel Author: Linda Legarde Grover Narrator: Lanecia Edmonds Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 47 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: When a rock is dislodged from its slope by mischievous ancestors, the past rises to meet the present, and Half-Dime Hill gives up a gruesome secret it has kept for half a century. Some people of Mozhay Point have theories about what happened; others know—and the discovery stirs memories long buried, reviving a terrible story yet to be told. Returning to the fictional Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota she deftly mapped in her award-winning books, Linda LeGarde Grover reveals traumas old and new as Margie Robineau, in the midst of a fight to keep her family's land, uncovers events connected to a long-ago escape plan across the Canadian border, and the burial of not one crime but two. While Margie is piecing the facts together, Dale Ann is confronted by her own secrets and the truth that the long ago and the now, the vital and the departed are all indelibly linked. As the past returns to haunt those involved, Margie prepares her statement for the tribal government, defending her family's land from a casino development and sorting the truths of Half-Dime Hill from the facts that remain there. Throughout the narrative, a chorus of spirit women gather to reminisce, reflect, and speculate, spinning the threads of family, myth, history, and humor.

Title: Sanctuary Author: Karen East Narrator: Sally Barron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 53 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In the middle of the twenty-first century, the War on Terror has been going on for decades. Major corporations control both the government and the economy, and the resulting relaxation of environmental laws has caused pollution to go unchecked. All borders of the United States have been closed, and travel outside one's neighborhood is often viewed with suspicion. The Department of Homeland Security controls the media, written history, education, and individual freedoms. Thirty-year-old Janet Ryan works as a reporter for the Minneapolis Herald, where she writes stories that have been prepared for her by Homeland Security. Her parents reach the age for mandatory placement in a nursing home, and they escape the country to avoid confinement. Then Janet runs into a childhood friend who introduces her to a group of people skeptical about the government's restrictions and the loss of freedom. Janet has the chance to travel to northern Wisconsin to meet with an elderly woman who sought asylum on an Ojibwe reservation. There she encounters people who live happily without technology or competition. But what will happen when her visits-which are illegal-are discovered? Set in a future where a powerful corporate government strictly controls personal freedoms, this novel follows one woman as she learns of a different way to live.

Title: [Romanian] - Acest soare care ma orbeste Author: Sorin Draghici Narrator: Charitini Oandi, Dana Tapalaga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 24 minutes Release date: December 6, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Cu o scriitura alerta, rasfatata uneori, cu efecte premeditate a caror combinatorie nu se dezvaluie pana la final, Sorin Draghici ofera in acest roman una dintre ocaziile de neratat de a te bucura de literatura, vara. Provocator, autorul alege sa intre in pielea unei domnisoare, apoi doamne si demonstreaza in felul acesta ca literatura ramane cel mai sustenabil exercitiu de zamislire de forme de viata dintre toate. Aceasta nu este insa decat prima dintre provocarile la care scriitorul isi supune cititorul. Pe relatia Targu-Mures – Atena – Bucuresti – Buenos Aires nu circula niciun avion direct. Ramane sa va imbarcati intr-un roman care promite, de la bun inceput, o croaziera improbabila, geografica dar si istorica. Nu in ultimul rand, romanul lui Draghici ar putea fi premiat nu doar literar, ci si gastronomic. Desi nu exista stele Michelin pentru literatura, initiativa ar trebui formulata. Pentru ca nu doar ca o societate de femei si barbati fascinante si fascinanti se iubesc, admira, calatoresc si dribleaza vitregiile unei istorii nu prea indepartate, dar ele si ei stiu sa se bucure de viata. O viata care se scrie in greaca veche si noua, una in care cultura si natura reprezinta un cuplu atat de sudat, incat nici nu ti-ai putea imagina ca ele ar fi fost, multa vreme, separate de prejudecati si mituri culturale. Cititorul trebuie avertizat ca se poate indragosti de multe dintre personajele care locuiesc in aceasta poveste petrecuta in prima jumatate a secolului trecut; de asemenea, el trebuie sa stie ca povestea in care patrunde nu-l va dezamagi decat din cauza inevitabila a sfarsitului ei. Daca orice minune dureaza trei zile, ei bine, el va petrece cu Eliza si Maria, dar si cu Andreas si Athanasios, trei ore concentrate sau trei dimineti de calistenie a afectelor si a imaginatiei. In sfarsit, e important sa-i spunem cititorului ca, daca faptul ca povestea are un final face parte din nedesavarsirea a tot ce e viu, totusi, finalul povestii va fi unul puternic.

Title: Adeline: A Novel of Virginia Woolf Author: Norah Vincent Narrator: Esther Wane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Daring . . . Vincent’s psychological approach is intriguing.” — USA Today “Vincent is a sensitive recorder of a mind’s movements as it shifts in and out of inspiration, and as it fights before submitting to despair.” — New York Times Book Review With poetic precision and psychological acuity, Norah Vincent’s Adeline reimagines the events that brought Woolf to the banks of the River Ouse, offering us a denouement worthy of its protaganist. Channeling Virginia and Leonard Woolf, T.

Title: Sisters of Shiloh Author: Kathy Hepinstall, Becky Hepinstall Hilliker Narrator: Sophie Amoss Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 53 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Pulpwood Queen Bonus Book of the Year   "Kathy and Becky Hepinstall plunge us so deeply into a complete and vividly rendered world. . . We can smell the gun powder and taste the metallic tinge of fear along with their remarkable heroines.” — Janis Cooke Newman, author of Mary “[The Hepinstalls] present lucky readers with a tale of love and hate, vengeance and devotion, and the darkest secrets imaginable. Highly recommended for all.” —Historical Novels Review   Before joining the Confederate Army, brothers Joseph and Thomas were actually sisters, Josephine and Libby. But that bloodiest battle, Antietam, leaves Libby widowed. She vows vengeance, dons her husband Arden’s clothes, and sneaks off to enlist with the Stonewall Brigade, swearing to kill one Yankee for every year of her husband’s too-short life. Desperate to protect her grief-crazed sister, Josephine insists on joining her. Surrounded by flying bullets, deprivation, and illness, the sisters are found by other dangers: Libby hurtles toward madness, haunted and urged on by her husband’s ghost, while Josephine falls in love with a fellow soldier. She lives in fear both of revealing their disguise and of losing her first love before she can make her heart known to him. In Sisters of Shiloh, best-selling novelist Kathy Hepinstall joins with her sister Becky to show readers the hopes of love and war, the impossible-to-sever bonds of sisterhood, and how what matters most can both hurt and heal.   “Sisters of Shiloh is a refreshing take on the Civil War, the bonds of sisterhood, and the bondage of love . . .

Title: The Baker's Secret: Absolutely gripping and heartbreaking World War Two historical fiction Author: Lelita Baldock Narrator: Taryn Ryan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: January 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In Nazi-occupied Latvia, two sisters are forced to make an impossible choice. To save a child, one sister must flee, while the other must stay behind. The secret of what happens next will endure for generations. But the truth won’t stay hidden forever... Riga, 1943. Cycling the streets to deliver fresh loaves, Zenta passes empty houses, curtains open, doors unlocked, their occupants forced out by Russian or German hands. Above the newly built town hall, a Nazi flag waves in the breeze. Since her brother became a soldier and her sister joined the resistance, Zenta is all her parents have left. Then one morning her sister returns. Tired, worn, with a newly rounded belly, Estere is as determined as ever to fight for their freedom. She convinces Zenta to join the Latvian resistance efforts and use her bread deliveries as a cover for smuggling letters, newspapers and supplies. When the bell over the bakery door chimes and German officers cross the threshold, Estere pleads with her sister to run – and to take her new-born daughter with her. An agreement between sisters made in the desperation of war sends Zenta to a new life across the world, a baby at her side, with a secret she’ll never tell. Until, decades later, now a grandmother, the smells and warmth of the bakery still in her heart, Zenta is finally ready to set the truth free... An emotional and heartbreaking tale of sacrifice, courage and love that spotlights the resilience of women in the Second World War. Perfect for readers of Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy and Kelly Rimmer.

However, try as she might to continue her life of anonymity, her popularity as a land developer’s wife—and as a successful club owner—draws even more attention to her personal endeavors. Soon, the balancing act between the life of Luna and Rose becomes a full-time job itself, making visiting home harder than ever before. However, her haven, which once offered a place of acceptance, is growing more hostile. Her community of brujas criticizes her methods of using magic for economic and social gain while consorting with nefarious witches of the North.

Title: [Spanish] - El camarada Jorge y el Dragón Author: Rafael Dumett Narrator: Hugo Salazar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 22, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'A nadie le importa cómo entras a la Historia, Shito. Si por la puerta de adelante, la de atrás o la del costado. Eso sí, una vez que ya estás adentro, nadie te saca' Deportado cinco veces por cuatro presidentes peruanos, sospechoso de haber estado involucrado en tres golpes de estado en el Perú y uno en el extranjero, Eudocio Ravines, figura ácida y rutilante en la historia latinoamericana del siglo XX, aparece por doquiera que uno escarbe, conspirando, denunciando, polemizando, escaldando y sacando de quicio. Después de una relación estrecha y dramática con Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre y José Carlos Mariátegui, abandona sus roles de comisario político de alto nivel en la Internacional Comunista para combatir la ideología que antes defendía férreamente, y convertirse en caja de resonancia de la propaganda de la CIA. El camarada Jorge y el Dragón, el primer volumen de una saga en torno a su figura, recrea sus años infantiles y juveniles en su turbulenta Cajamarca natal, al amparo de las mujeres de la familia y de su tío, el coronel Belisario Ravines, héroe de la guerra del Pacífico y principal autoridad local de gobierno. Luego del éxito de El Espía del Inca, Rafael Dumett vuelve a sorprender con esta novela histórica de aprendizaje, en que usa magistralmente la ficción para diluirse por completo en la vida del controvertido Eudocio Ravines, pieza fundamental para calibrar los subterráneos de la historia peruana y global del siglo pasado, que ya muestran ecos imprevistos en el presente.

This is an author stepping into her power and it is a privilege to behold' Kate Sawyer, Costa shortlisted author of The Stranding and This Family 'Beautifully written and authentic, this novel shines an unflinching light on the darkest episodes of recent medical history. Hold Back The Night will get under your skin and lodge itself in your heart' Erin Kelly 'Powerful, at times gut-wrenching' Peter Tatchell 'Heart-breaking and life-affirming in equal measure. Dealing with the horrors of conversion therapy in the 1950s and the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, this is a story of redemption and hope as much as it is grief and shame. I absolutely loved it' Louise Hare 'Jessica Moor is a new young writer I believe in' Jeanette Winterson 'Heartbreaking and beautifully written' Heather Darwent 'A shocking, vital story that will never let you go. I urge everyone to read this novel. Jessica does not flinch away from the themes in this book, but writes with purposeful intent. She does not linger on the suffering, but shines a light on hope. An outstanding achievement' Ericka Waller 'Hold back the Night is a book about fear and power, the stories we tell ourselves and the people we hope to be. Beautiful and lyrical, these characters will wrap around your heart. I loved it' Araminta Hall https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734273 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734273]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: There Are Rivers in the Sky: A novel Author: Elif Shafak Narrator: Olivia Vinall, Elif Shafak Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 48 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.8 of Total 5 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the Booker Prize finalist, author of The Island of Missing Trees, an enchanting new tale about three characters living along two great rivers, all connected by a single drop of water. 'Make place for Elif Shafak on your bookshelf. Make place for her in your heart too. You won't regret it.'—Arundhati Roy, winner of the Booker Prize In the ancient city of Nineveh, on the bank of the River Tigris, King Ashurbanipal of Mesopotamia, erudite but ruthless, built a great library that would crumble with the end of his reign. From its ruins, however, emerged a poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, that would infuse the existence of two rivers and bind together three lives.  In 1840 London, Arthur is born beside the stinking, sewage-filled River Thames. With an abusive, alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother, Arthur’s only chance of escaping destitution is his brilliant memory. When his gift earns him a spot as an apprentice at a leading publisher, Arthur’s world opens up far beyond the slums, and one book in particular catches his interest: Nineveh and Its Remains. In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is diagnosed with a rare disorder that will soon cause her to go deaf. Before that happens, her grandmother is determined to baptize her in a sacred Iraqi temple. But with the rising presence of ISIS and the destruction of the family’s ancestral lands along the Tigris, Narin is running out of time.  In 2018 London, the newly divorced Zaleekah, a hydrologist, moves into a houseboat on the Thames to escape her husband. Orphaned and raised by her wealthy uncle, Zaleekah had made the decision to take her own life in one month, until a curious book about her homeland changes everything.   A dazzling feat of storytelling, There Are Rivers in the Sky entwines these outsiders with a single drop of water, a drop which remanifests across the centuries. Both a source of life and harbinger of death, rivers—the Tigris and the Thames—transcend history, transcend fate: “Water remembers. It is humans who forget.” Elif Shafak Tue, 20 Aug 2024 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734272 thebookvoice.com 16:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734272]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Black Butterflies: A novel Author: Priscilla Morris Narrator: Priscilla Morris, Rachel Atkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A NEW YORK TIMES BEST HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR • SHORT-LISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION • A timeless story of strife and hope set during the conflict in the Balkans in the early '90s—a searing debut novel about a woman who faces the war on her doorstep with courage, fierceness, and an unshakable belief in the power of art. “A reflective novel . . . that tells us life goes on, love stories develop, humanity remains in the most inhumane of times.” —Irish Independent Sarajevo, spring 1992. Each night, nationalist gangs erect makeshift barricades, splitting the city into ethnic enclaves. Each morning, the people who live there—whether Muslim, Croat, or Serb—push the barriers aside. When violence erupts and becomes, finally, unavoidable, Zora, an artist and teacher, sends her husband and elderly mother to safety in England. She stays behind, reluctant to believe that hostilities will last more than a few weeks. As the city falls under siege, everything she loves about her home is laid to waste, black ashes floating over the rooftops. Yet Zora and her friends find ways to rebuild themselves, over and over. Told with breathtaking immediacy, this is a story of disintegration, resilience, and hope—a stirring debut from a commanding new voice.

Title: Columbia Author: Pamela Jekel Narrator: Michael Reaves Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 54 minutes Release date: November 15, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The scope of Columbia--the first epic saga of our country's final courageous thrust into the continental unknown, the Pacific Northwest--is as massive as the Columbia River itself. The story begins nine thousand years ago, when the river was new, and unfolds in a magnificent family portrait spanning five generations, from the end of the eighteenth century to the present. At the head of ancient family is Ilchee, a Chinook Indian princess married to a white trader, who founds a dynasty of rare courage; Caleb, her son, who must learn to live in the white world of Fort Vancouver; Suzanna, who makes the arduous trip across the continent, battling humiliation, death, and even love; Isaac, their son who builds a logging empire only to discover that destiny, not timber, is king; Ning Ho, Isaac's Chinese mistress, who teaches him even more of life than of pleasure; and finally Will, who rejects his father's vision to power his own--the building of the Grand Coolie Dam--and Leona, his wife,, whose secret threatens to destroy everything the family has worked to create. Columbia is a rich, vivid canvas of heroes and scoundrels, of men and women and their dreams of land, gold, timber, salmon, and power--dreams that begin when a nomad hunter kills a mastodon and ends with an archaeology team working frantically to uncover evidence of that kill before the Columbia's waters rise to cover the past forever--and a family destiny that proves 'some things must be believed to be seen.' Pamela Jekel is a nationally-known novelist with four NY Times bestsellers, twelve novels that have been translated into sixteen languages, including Braille, Large Print Editions, and Kindle. Library Journal hailed Columbia as 'a well-researched novel of drama and passion', and 'historical fiction at its best.' Publishers Weekly praised its heroine as 'a living breathing, three-dimensional character.' Winner of the Southwest Historical Fiction award.

Title: An Ocean of Courage and Fear Author: Jerry Borrowman Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Based on survivor accounts, this gripping novel opens days after the attack on Pearl Harbor and details three years of sea battles that spanned between Hawaii and the shores of Okinawa with the crew of one of the most decorated ships of the Pacific War. Onboard the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City, Lieutenant Commander Justin Collier was 230 miles west of Pearl Harbor accompanying the USS Enterprise on a secret mission when Japan attacked the United States. Upon his return to Honolulu, the gravity of the war begins to change him, as does every subsequent mission, including a rare beach landing with an Army infantry division. He fears his wounds of war, both physical and mental, will be incurable. Meanwhile, on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, hundreds of wounded men lay scattered in cots and stretchers in and around the naval hospital, and volunteer nurse Heidi Collier feels overwhelmed by the number of casualties. She had watched the bombing by Japanese planes as she huddled with her two children in front of their home, hoping that her husband aboard the USS Salt Lake City was safe wherever he was. In her prayers, she feels he is still alive. Lieutenant Riley Bracken feels the sudden g-force of his catapult-launched observation floatplane with each harrowing mission. Alerting the USS Salt Lake City of enemy ships gives him purpose, which is why no one can know about his recent bouts of vertigo. He can’t risk losing what he loves most. Fifteen-year-old Al Jowdy lied about his age in order to join the Navy. Whatever he believed Navy life would be was shot out of the water—twice—when his ships were torpedoed. Now aboard the Salt Lake City, he fears his luck may have run out. An Ocean of Courage and Fear reveals the harrowing, never-before-told events that surrounded the crew of the USS Salt Lake City as they endure all the major action in the Pacific War.

Title: Medusa Author: Nataly Gruender Narrator: Helen Laser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An intimate look into the life of a legendary mythical villain who has so often been stripped of her voice and humanity in this debut novel, perfect for fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe and the works of Jennifer Saint. You know how Medusa’s story ends, but you’ve never heard her tell her own story… until now.   The only mortal daughter of two sea gods, and a priestess of Athena, Medusa was a woman who thought she had found her place in the world. But when Medusa suffers a horrific violation at the hands of Poseidon, Athena is outraged over the desecration of her name and sends a message by transforming Medusa into the snake-haired monster of legend. With one look, any who meet her gaze is turned to stone. Word of her monstrosity travels fast, igniting a king’s fear so greatly that he commands the boy-hero Perseus to bring him her head. With a power that will spare no one, Medusa begins to wonder if this is a blessing or a curse. Medusa only knows that she must leave the city she has come to call home before she harms another soul.  Searching for a haven free from mortals, anger buoying her every step, Medusa journeys across ancient Greece. Her eyes are hidden beneath a blindfold, with nothing but the snakes for company. Through her travels, Medusa discovers solace and understanding in the mythical figures she stumbles upon: A debaucherous wine god, an alluring nymph, and a three-headed dog. But one cannot escape fate forever. As Perseus closes in, Medusa faces a choice: become the monster everyone expects her to be, or cling to the last piece of her humanity.

You know how Medusa’s story ends, but you’ve never heard her tell her own story… until now.   The only mortal daughter of two sea gods, and a priestess of Athena, Medusa was a woman who thought she had found her place in the world. But when Medusa suffers a horrific violation at the hands of Poseidon, Athena is outraged over the desecration of her name and sends a message by transforming Medusa into the snake-haired monster of legend. With one look, any who meet her gaze is turned to stone. Word of her monstrosity travels fast, igniting a king’s fear so greatly that he commands the boy-hero Perseus to bring him her head. With a power that will spare no one, Medusa begins to wonder if this is a blessing or a curse.

Erst als sie ihrer Jugendliebe Julius wiederbegegnet, hat sie das Gefühl, endlich wieder atmen zu können. Mit ihm kehren all die Erinnerungen zurück: an eine junge Helene, die gemeinsam mit ihren Berliner Freundinnen verstaubte Konventionen aufbrach, die sich als eine der ersten Juristinnen des Landes behauptete – und die es trotz der heraufziehenden Dunkelheit wagte, den Sohn eines jüdischen Richters zu lieben.

Title: The Exile Author: Patrick Worrall Narrator: Olivia Vinall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 25, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. It's 1951 and the servants of Stalin are closing in on the occupied nations of eastern Europe. As the Red Army tightens the net, Greta - best and bravest of freedom fighters - is told to escape to the West and undertake a dangerous mission. Greta's task is to find a missing girl: the precious daughter of a partisan general who was sent into exile in the final days of the war. But the so-called Free World is no place for vulnerable young refugees. Europe is in ruins, the old Empires are dying, and a spectacular cast of spivs, gangsters and rival intelligence agencies are fighting over the scraps. Crossing the Iron Curtain will require nerves of steel as Greta faces down the French mob, ex-Nazis, Soviet spies, all the glamour and temptation of Paris and ultimately, her own demons. The Exile is the stunning prequel to The Partisan, Patrick Worrall's critically-acclaimed debut, which introduced the world to the force of nature that is Greta. This is her white-knuckle ride into the black heart of postwar Europe - a terrifying world in which allies and enemies are impossible to tell apart. Praise for The Partisan 'Fast-paced, intriguing and deeply atmospheric' Tom Bradby 'Remarkedly assured debut ... the advent of a real talent...One to watch' Sunday Times 'Impressive ... The scene-setting is finely detailed and evocative, the characters skilfully drawn' Financial Times 'Immersive, intriguing, and intelligent - incredibly impressive, up there with the best in the genre' Lee Child © Patrick Worrall 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024 Patrick Worrall Thu, 25 Jul 2024 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733687 thebookvoice.com 13:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733687]]> to listen full audiobooks.

'They will forget that we are flesh-and-blood women who have lived, and who now die, at the mercy of those who judge us.' Discover the dark and gothic historical novel inspired by the true story of Giulia Tofana, the first documented female serial killer in history. Perfect for fans of The Familiars and The Lost Apothecary. Murderer or saviour? You decide. . .

An undetectable poison that can kill in four drops. Alongside her circle of female poisoners, Giulia Tofana dispenses her deadly potion to free the downtrodden women of the city from their abusive husbands.

How far will she go for the women who need her help? Exploring the realities of what it is like to be a woman who rebels against society, A Poisoner’s Tale takes the reader on a tense, challenging but spellbinding journey.

Title: Alfred Lord Tennyson: In Memoriam, Idylls of the King, Maud & more: A BBC Radio Collection Author: Alfred Tennyson Narrator: Charles Tennyson, Hallam Tennyson, Mary Wimbush, Holliday Grainger, Ruth Padel, Rachel Bavidge, Full Cast, Peggy Ashcroft, Jonathan Keeble, Tim Pigott-Smith, Melvyn Bragg, Andrew Sachs, John Sir Gielgud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A definitive collection of Tennyson’s finest works Alfred Lord Tennyson is one of Britain’s greatest and most popular poets. Even during his lifetime, he was considered a national institution: Queen Victoria appointed him Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held for 42 years, and in 1884 he became the first writer to be granted a baronetcy. In a long and fruitful career, he penned numerous classic works, and this BBC Radio collection showcases some of the very best. We begin with two of his masterpieces, dramatised by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The Idylls of the King is an extraordinary epic poem that infuses the legend of King Arthur with a passionate intensity. Told here in five acts, it stars Tim Pigott-Smith. Considered one of the finest elegies, In Memoriam was written in response to the sudden death of his friend Arthur Hallam. This drama weaves the peerless poem into the story behind it, and stars Holliday Grainger, James Cooney and Ashley Margolis. Crossing the Bar plunges us into Tennyson’s stirring sea-narratives, with sea-songs performed by a cappella trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. It includes the poems ‘The Kraken’, ‘The Sea Fairies’, ‘Enoch Arden’, ‘The Voyage of Maeldune’ and ‘Crossing the Bar’ - read by John Dougall, Rachel Bavidge, Sam Dale, Jasmine Callan, Stuart McLoughlin and Joseph Kloska. In Maud, Tennyson’s dark, lyrical verses tell of a disturbed young man roaming the windswept hills, madly in love and haunted by loss. Dramatised for radio in 1969, Harold brings to life the story of England’s last Anglo-Saxon King, starring Gabriel Woolf. Next up are readings of Tennyson’s best-loved poems, including seven written in the language of his native Lincolnshire and introduced by his great-grandson Hallam Tennyson. ‘Aylmer’s Field’, his Victorian version of the Romeo and Juliet story, is read by Andrew Sachs; while Peggy Ashcroft reads his celebrated lyrical ballad ‘The Lady of Shalott’. ‘The Lotos-Eaters’, inspired by the tale of Odysseus and his mariners, is read by Sir John Gielgud. ‘The Northern Farmer’, ‘The Parson’s Daughter’, ‘The Church Warden and the Curate’, ‘Owd Roa,’ ‘The Village Wife’, ‘The Northern Cobbler’ and ‘The Spinster’s Sweet-Arts’ are read by Edward Campion and Mary Wimbush. Lastly, ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ is read by Alfred Badel, and ‘The Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington’, read by the poet's grandson Sir Charles Tennyson. We conclude with a pair of fascinating documentaries exploring the poet’s life and work. Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson sees Ruth Padel investigating the man behind the image, while In Our Time: Tennyson’s In Memoriam finds Melvyn Bragg discussing the poet’s moving meditation on love and death.

Title: Brendan Behan: Borstal Boy, The Quare Fellow and The Hostage: Three BBC Radio Full-Cast Productions Author: Brendan Behan Narrator: Ann Callanan, Anne Kent, Brian Kidd, Michael Baguley, Louis Rolston, Leah Marks, Jonny Holden, Joseph Ayre, Gerard Mcdermott, Ewan Bailey, Samuel James, John Hewitt, Michael Duffy, Brendan Coyle, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A collection of some of the rockstar playwright’s finest work Brendan Behan is widely remembered as a hard-drinking, wise-cracking writer who turned up roaring drunk for interviews and cared little for authority. But he was more than just a hell-raising celebrity. His wit, expressive use of language and understanding of human nature made his writing famous around the world, and his masterpieces The Quare Fellow, Borstal Boy and The Hostage rank among the greatest works of 20th century Irish literature. Dramatisations of all three appear here, alongside a short interview with Behan himself and a fascinating biographical programme celebrating his genius. Charting Behan’s journey from shy, passionate young man to larger-than-life literary superstar, Borstal Boy tells the story of a stammering IRA rebel who finds true friends and first love in an English borstal. Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey) stars as Behan in this fresh take on his honest, tender 1958 memoir. Behan’s debut play, The Quare Fellow, first produced in 1954, was based on his own prison experiences. A darkly funny drama about a group of inmates awaiting the imminent execution of a fellow prisoner, it is performed here by players from the Arts Theatre, Lyric Theatre, and Ulster Theatre Company, Belfast. And finally, translated from the Gaelic by acclaimed writer Lorcán Ó Treasaigh, An Giall (The Hostage) revolves around a British soldier held hostage by the IRA in a Dublin brothel. This 1988 Radio 3 version is the first English production of Behan’s Irish tragicomedy, which formed the basis of Joan Littlewood 's 1958 Theatre Workshop hit. Also included is a 1959 clip from BBC Television’s Tonight, featuring Brendan Behan in conversation with Derek Hart, and an episode of Great Lives in which Joan Littlewood talks to Humphrey Carpenter about her long-time friend and collaborator. Note: Due to the age of the recordings, the sound quality on The Quare Fellow and Tonight may vary.

Title: [German] - Tod im Cabaret Voltaire: Josephine Wyss ermittelt Author: Miriam Veya Narrator: Isabel Florido Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 1 minute Release date: December 1, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Zürich, im Oktober 1919: Die junge Witwe Josephine, deren soeben verstorbener Mann eine «Auskunftsstelle für vermisste Personen» betrieben hat, in dem auch sie tätig war, steht vor dem Nichts. Als sie am Abend nach der Beerdigung im verwaisten Büro überlegt, dieses aufzulösen, stürmt eine Frau herein und beauftragt sie mit der Suche nach ihrer verschwundenen Freundin. Diese ist Tänzerin im Cabaret Voltaire, der Wiege der DADA-Bewegung, wo auch die Auftraggeberin als Künstlerin arbeitet. Eigentlich will Josephine den Auftrag ablehnen. Doch dann wird die Künstlerin auf der Bühne des Kleintheaters von einem herabstürzenden Kulissenteil erschlagen, und Josephine glaubt als Einzige nicht an einen Unfall. Sie beginnt, auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. Dabei bringt sie nicht nur sich selbst in Gefahr, sondern muss sich auch gegen alle Widerstände den Weg freikämpfen, als alleinstehende Frau ein unabhängiges Leben führen zu können. Die Autorin erzählt einen spannenden historischen Kriminalfall, der durch seinen aktuellen Bezug überrascht. Gleichzeitig zeichnet sie ein authentisches und atmosphärisch dichtes Bild des Lebens in Zürich vor hundert Jahren.

Title: [Belarusian] - Альпійская балада Author: васіль быкаў Narrator: святлана цімохіна Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 44 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: «Альпійская балада» — самая рамантычная і загадкавая аповесць Васіля Быкава і самая не быкаўская, бо расказвае не столькі пра вайну, сколькі пра каханне. Каханне беларуса Івана і італьянкі Джуліі. Прачытаўшы аповесць, Пімен Панчанка — галоўны рэдактар «Маладосці», дзе ўпершыню была надрукавана «Альпійская балада», — сказаў: «Канешне, усё тое — няпраўда, а верыцца. Значыць, гэта — мастацтва». Апублікаваўшы «Альпійскую баладу», Васіль Быкаў усё жыццё пасля сцвярджаў, што прататыпам галоўнай гераіні была італьянская дзяўчына Джулія, якую ён сустрэў у аўстрыйскіх Альпах у час вайны і якая шукала свайго Івана, але незадоўга да смерці пісьменнік засведчыў, што ніякага прататыпа не было, і Джулію ён прыдумаў. «Бунін піша ў дзённіку, што ўсе свае творы выдумаў. Баюся сабе прызнацца, але, мусіць, і я таксама. А пасля неяк сачыняў “гісторыю стварэння”, бо няёмка было прызнацца, што прыдумаў. Дый чытачам нецікава», — запісаў Быкаў у нататніку, які быў апублікаваны ўжо пасля ягонай смерці.

Title: [Belarusian] - Дажыць да світання Author: васіль быкаў Narrator: алена сідарава Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: November 23, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Гэты твор упершыню быў апублікаваны пяцьдзесят гадоў таму. Крытыка, назваўшы яго аповесцю пра аднаго лейтэнанта Іваноўскага і яго барацьбу з неспрыяльнымі акалічнасцямі вайны, дадавала: пры ўсёй рэалістычнасці «Дажыць да світання» — яшчэ і легенда. Легенда пра невядомых герояў вайны. Сам Васіль Быкаў казаў па выхадзе аповесці: «Як вядома, на вайне выконваюцца загады старшых начальнікаў. І адказнасць за ўдачу або няўдачу ў пэўнай сітуацыі дзеліцца папалам паміж яе выканаўцам і кіраўніком. А тут выпадак, калі ініцыятарам аперацыі выступае сам выканаўца — малодшы афіцэр. Але ўся справа ў тым, што гэтая яго ініцыятыва канчаецца поўным фіяска. Вядома, Іваноўскі тут ні пры чым, можна апраўдаць яго, ён жа сумленна выканаў свой абавязак. Але сам Іваноўскі апраўдаць сябе не можа: аперацыя ж вымагала неймаверных сіл, за яе заплачана жыццём людзей, яго падначаленых. У гібелі Іваноўскага не вінаваты ніхто, ён сам сабе выбраў такі лёс, таму што быў надзелены высокай чалавечнасцю, якая не дазваляла яму ўхіліцца або схітрыць ні ў вялікім, ні ў малым». Ужо на схіле жыцця Быкаў характарызаваў сваю аповесць больш катэгарычна: «Тэма яе, здавалася, гучала даволі экзістэнцыяльна, то быў матыў тупіку і расчаравання — на той раз у пэўным канкрэтным сэнсе».

Ужо на схіле жыцця Быкаў характарызаваў сваю аповесць больш катэгарычна: «Тэма яе, здавалася, гучала даволі экзістэнцыяльна, то быў матыў тупіку і расчаравання — на той раз у пэўным канкрэтным сэнсе».

Title: Fall of the Florios: A Novel Series: #3 of A Lions of Sicily Book Author: Stefania Auci Narrator: Hollis Mccarthy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The epic saga behind the Disney-produced Hulu series The Lions of Sicily The magnificent third installment of the Florio story–a sweeping, decadent, and romantic finale that tells the story of Italy’s most powerful and notorious family as it faces its dramatic end. After triumph and brilliance, the Sicilian Lions enter their fall . . . Glory is fleeting, fate sometimes cruel. For more than sixty years, the Florios have reigned supreme, establishing the city of Palermo as a European beacon of commerce, and making Sicily one of Italy’s most powerful regions. But now fate has taken a turn. As social and economic pressures erode the stability of a young Italy, the Florios—despite their wealth and power—must watch as their iron grip over the South begins to weaken. Following in the steps of the father he idolized, Ignazzidu, now Don Ignazio, finds himself commanding the Florio family’s interests and enterprises. Negligent, impetuous, and headstrong, he is everything his industrious father was not. But while he struggles to live up to the family name, his charming and loyal wife Franca rises to the occasion. A gracious and formidable host, Franca’s hospitality becomes unmatched across Europe, informally crowned the “Queen of Palermo” as she holds court with an esteemed coterie of luminaries from the womanizing Puccini to the scandalous Boldini. Yet as the tides of fortune change– economic hardships, war, and human loss- their relationship will be put to the test and Franca will find that even a love as devoted as hers may falter. But the biggest threat to their survival is the death of an heir. In losing the flesh of his flesh, Ignazio—who succeeded his father without the strength or conviction to do so—will ultimately oversee the collapse of an empire built by his family’s ambition, cunning, and sweat. What kind of future will the Florios have now? Will anything remain of their greatness? Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor and Howard Curtis.

Title: [German] - Rosa und Leo - Die große Liebe der Rosa Luxemburg (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Charlotte Roth Narrator: Elisabeth Günther Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 29, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Der faszinierende biografische Roman von Bestseller-Autorin Charlotte Roth erzählt von der großen, dramatischen Liebesgeschichte zwischen der Revolutionärin Rosa Luxemburg und Leo Jogiches. Rosa Luxemburg: Vordenkerin, Freiheitskämpferin und leidenschaftlich Liebende Warschau, 1889. Von klein auf träumt das Mädchen Rosa von einer besseren, gerechteren Welt und ist entschlossen, dafür zu kämpfen. Sie ist erst siebzehn, als sie mutterseelenallein vor der Miliz des Zaren in die Schweiz fliehen muss. In Zürich beginnt die hochgebildete junge Frau ein Studium und trifft auf Leo, der wie sie aus seiner Heimat fliehen musste und dafür glüht, für die Entrechteten der Welt zu kämpfen. Über das gemeinsame Ziel hinaus verbindet sie schon bald eine leidenschaftliche Liebe. Für die aber gibt es in den Stürmen ihrer gnadenlosen Epoche weder Zeit noch Raum ... Eine große Liebe in Zeiten des Aufruhrs: Mit ihrem emotional und mitreißend erzähltem historischen Roman über Rosa Luxemburg und Leo Jogiches hat Bestseller-Autorin Charlotte Roth mehr geschaffen als eine hoch spannende Roman-Biografie über eine unendlich mutige Frau: Ihr Porträt von Rosa Luxemburg lässt uns in eine dramatische Zeit großer politischer und sozialer Umwälzungen eintauchen - und einer Frau nahe kommen, die für ihre Werte genauso engagiert gekämpft hat wie um ihre Liebe.

Title: The Art of Vanishing: A novel Author: Lynne Kutsukake Narrator: Emily Shelton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'A fascinating glimpse into the intersection of art, class, and the complexity of adult friendship. . . . I couldn’t put this book down.” —Waubgeshig Rice, author of Moon of the Turning Leaves An intimate, explosive story of creativity and friendship between two young Japanese women in 1970s Tokyo. Akemi’s desire for independence and aversion to marriage are unusual in her small village. A gift for drawing allows her to move to a rooming house in Tokyo where she studies medical illustration, finding satisfaction in the precision and purpose of her work. Sayako is the first roommate to pay Akemi attention, and they quickly become inseparable—Sayako drawn to Akemi’s humble origins, so distinct from her own insufferable, wealthy family; Akemi attracted to Sayako’s rebelliousness and her aspiration to be a painter.     As Akemi begins to model for Sayako, their connection deepens. Together, they attend ‘happenings,' encounters arranged by two enigmatic artists, Nezu and Kaori, in random locations, intended to free them from their worldly attachments. Following a devastating betrayal, Sayako disappears, and Akemi becomes determined to find her—and in the process, must newly face herself.     Tender, enthralling, and evocative of the energy of Japan in the 1970s, The Art of Vanishing is the story of a young woman struggling to see and be seen; of authenticity and art; of the thin line between loyalty and obsession.

Pierre hat viele Menschen getroffen – angenehme, aber auch unangenehme –, wurde von der Liebe überrascht und lernte den Wert echter Freundschaft kennen. Dabei entging er zahlreichen Versuchen des Kardinals Richelieu und auch seiner engsten Familienmitglieder, ihn ins Jenseits zu befördern, um sich sein Erbe anzueignen. Im dritten Band geht Pierres Suche nach dem berühmten Schatz der Tempelritter weiter, aber wie immer ist seine Aufgabe nicht einfach. Pierre und sein bester Freund Armand machen sich auf den Weg nach Venedig, nicht ahnend, dass auch andere Weggefährten auf die schöne Stadt zusteuern, manche in der Absicht zu warnen und zu helfen, aber einige mit finsteren Motiven … Während der Karneval in Venedig mit seinen berühmten Maskenfesten dem Höhepunkt zustrebt, wird Pierre auf die Probe gestellt – und das Schicksal nimmt seinen Lauf … Michael Stolle Thu, 30 Nov 2023 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731984 thebookvoice.com 16:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731984]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Das Vergnügen - Angela Krauß liest (ungekürzt) Author: Angela Krauß Narrator: Angela Krauß Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: 'Wohlüberlegt werden hier die Worte gesetzt, planvoll die Abschnitte zu Kapiteln und die Kapitel zu einem Tageslauf zusammengebaut. Und so hat Angela Krauß ein kleines großes Buch geschrieben', rühmt die Basler Zeitung das Erstlingswerk DAS VERGNÜGEN der in Leipzig lebenden Autorin. Die rhythmisch klare Prosa dieser DDR-Autorin dokumentiert einen privaten und einen offiziellen Jubiläumstag - gelebt von den Menschen in einer Brikettfabrik. Behutsam gestaltet Angela Krauß ein Ensemble farbiger Figuren. Die Menschen sind weder literarische Helden noch makellose Heroen der Arbeit, höchstens mehr oder weniger verdiente Genossen. Und auch die werden eher von nachdenklicher Skepsis befallen, manch einer von ihnen wünscht sich, daß das 'Gleichseinwollen' und der 'Eigensinn', das Politische und das Private einmal zusammenfallen mögen.

Title: The Spy Author: Suzanne Kamata Narrator: Alan Reinhardt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 24, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Pearl Dubois was a Southern Belle. She was born in New Orleans to a prominent and wealthy family. She was also a magician...and a spy. During the Second World War, Pearl wanted to help the Allied effort. She got a job in the Office of Strategic Services, which later became the CIA. In September of 1944, she began working for William Donovan, the agency’s head. When she translated an important document that revealed the identities of the enemy’s spies, she saw a chance. Why shouldn’t she be the one to take the news to General Patton? Pearl and a willing colleague commandeered a jeep and set off to the dangerous world to find the general. On her way to deliver her precious documents, she saw the devastation of the French countryside by war. She and her companion encountered frightened farmers and their families. The enemy was always near at hand. And then her luck ran out. Captured by the Nazis, keeping her secrets close, this Southern Belle learned the price of espionage as well as patriotism. Her courage and quick wit came into play as well as her magic tricks! But how would she manage? Could she escape? Based on the story of the real-life experiences of Gertrude Sanford Legendre, the first woman to be captured as a spy during WWII, Pearl’s adventures are both inspiring and terrifying.

But the king’s favour comes at a price. He will pardon Emilia’s husband only if she agrees to be his mistress. Torn, Emilia comes up with a condition of her own: she will consent, but not until her portrait hangs among the famed Windsor Beauties, a series commissioned by the Duchess of York to showcase the fairest women in the royal retinue. For Henry Greenhill, ambitious assistant to the court painter, the opportunity to paint Emilia’s portrait is a chance to step out of his master’s shadow. But his sitter proves as evasive as she is beautiful, and with barely a sketch to show for his efforts, Henry’s career is on the line. As the king’s patience wears thin, it’s clear that more than creative talent will be needed to capture this incomparable beauty on canvas ...   From the bestselling author of The Lace Weaver comes this seductive story of rivalry, artistic passion and a woman bold enough to wield her beauty as a weapon.

Title: [Spanish] - Por amor a la libertad: La historia real del judío que escapó de la Alemania nazi y se convirtió en agente secreto de Estados Unidos Author: Richard Pick Narrator: Erick Trujillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: December 7, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: La inspiradora historia de un superviviente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial Alemania, década de 1930. Los sueños y aspiraciones de la comunidad judía se ven truncados por el inminente estallido de la guerra. Entre ellos, los del adolescente Richard Pick, quien se verá obligado primero a separarse de sus padres y su querido hermano Lutz, y finalmente a emigrar. Richard acabará en Nueva York, donde poco después será reclutado por el ejército y enviado de vuelta a Europa, esta vez para luchar contra los nazis. A lo largo de todos esos años de huida y supervivencia, Richard mantendrá una relación epistolar con su amor de juventud, Lore. Tras muchas vicisitudes y promesas, logrará encontrarse con ella en México, casarse, formar una familia y emprender un próspero negocio, disfrutando así de una vida que ninguno de los dos podría haber imaginado jamás. Por amor a la libertad narra la singular vida de Richard Pick, superviviente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y veterano de Normandía, desde una juventud acomodada en Alemania hasta su vida como refugiado y hombre de negocios en México. Pero es también una emotiva historia de amor, de redención y de esperanza, que nos deja un mensaje claro de confianza en el ser humano, en el futuro y en la libertad. «Richard Pick escapó de la guerra en Alemania, pero volvió como judío, soldado y espía. Sin duda eso lo convierte en un héroe.» -Nadia Cattan, editora en Enlace judío «Una historia conmovedora sobre una vida bien vivida antes, durante y después del Holocausto; la búsqueda de un hombre para triunfar en la vida, superando todos los obstáculos imaginables.» -Luis Rubio, analista político «La historia de un individuo extraordinario comprometido a vivir... y más allá... a marcar la diferencia. Tan íntima y acogedora que podría titularse “Una historia de la Humanidad”. Se trata de la guerra y la paz en el siglo xx. No podía dejarlo, es un libro que lees sin parar.» -Yael Weiss, autora de Hematoma y Las cicadas «Cuando la esperanza parecía perdida, Richard Pick miró de frente el rostro de la crueldad en su Alemania natal. A diferencia de la mayoría de los sobrevivientes, él regresó a su país de origen como soldado estadounidense y más tarde como parte del servicio de inteligencia encargado de interrogar a los líderes nazis. Cuando se hizo cargo del escritorio de Hitler, la realidad superó a la ficción.» -Silvia Cherem, Premio Nacional de Periodismo 2005 Richard Pick Thu, 07 Dec 2023 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731640 thebookvoice.com 6:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731640]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Three Fires Author: Denise Mina Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 30 minutes Release date: December 21, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In Three Fires, award-winning author Denise Mina re-imagines the 'Bonfire of the Vanities', a series of fires lit throughout Florence at the end of the fifteenth century - inspired by the fanatical Girolamo Savonarola. Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican friar living in Florence at the tail end of the fifteenth century. An anti-corruption campaigner his hellfire preaching increasingly spilled over into tirades against all luxuries that tempted people towards sin. These sermons led to the infamous ‘Bonfire of the Vanities' - a series of fires lit throughout Florence for the incineration of everything from books, extravagant clothing, playing cards, musical instruments, make-up and mirrors, to paintings, tapestries and sculptures. Railing against the vice and avarice of the ruling Medici family, he was instrumental in their removal from power, and for a time became the puritanical leader of the city. After turning his attention to corruption in the entire Catholic Church, he was first excommunicated and then executed by a combination of hanging and being burnt at the stake. Denise Mina brings a modern take to this fascinating historical story - drawing parallels between the febrile atmosphere of medieval Florence and the culture wars of the present day. In dramatising the life and last days of Savonarola she explores the downfall of the original architect of cancel culture and in the process explores the neverending tensions between wealth, inequality, and freedom of speech that so dominate our modern world.

Title: [German] - Die Waffen des Lichts - Kingsbridge-Roman, Band 5 (Gekürzt) Author: Ken Follett Narrator: Tobias Kluckert Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 32 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Willkommen zurück in KINGSBRIDGE! Mit seinem neuesten Werk läutet Ken Follett für die Menschen in Kingsbridge eine neue Ära ein. Eine Ära, in der Tradition und Fortschritt aufeinanderprallen, Klassenkämpfe in alle Teile der Gesellschaft vordringen und der gesamte Kontinent von einem erbitterten Krieg erfasst wird: die Zeit der Industrialisierung England 1770. Mit Erfindung der 'Spinning Jenny' bricht eine neue Ära der Fertigung und Industrie an. Innerhalb nur einer Generation verändert die Webmaschine das Leben der Menschen grundlegend. Die Welt ist in Unruhe, auch in Kingsbridge. Maschinen machen die traditionelle Handarbeit der Weber überflüssig - und gefährlich. Ein Arbeiter stirbt bei einem durch Fahrlässigkeit verursachten Arbeitsunfall und hinterlässt Witwe und Kinder. Eine junge Frau kämpft um die Finanzierung ihrer Schule für Kinder aus armen Familien. Ein wohlwollender junger Mann erbt unerwartet ein scheiterndes Unternehmen. Ein anderer schützt rücksichtslos seinen Reichtum, koste es, was es wolle. Zur selben Zeit, in der Englands Herrscher versuchen, das Königreich zur dominierenden Handelsmacht zu formen, wird in Frankreich Kriegsgeschrei laut. Napoleon Bonaparte ist an der Macht und schmiedet einen gewaltigen Plan, um die Herrschaft über die Welt an sich zu reißen. Auf einmal ist Krieg in Europa, und überall auf dem Kontinent stehen jahrhundertealte Institutionen infrage. Nichts ist mehr, wie es einmal war. Der Wandel bestimmt das Leben der Menschen. Wird es ihnen gelingen, sich in der neuen Welt zurechtzufinden und sich aus der Asche des Krieges zu erheben? Vor über dreißig Jahren veröffentlichte Ken Follett seinen populärsten Roman, DIE SÄULEN DER ERDE. Der nun fünfte Teil der bahnbrechenden Kingsbridge-Reihe führt erneut direkt ins Herz der Geschichte. Er ist Ken Folletts bisher ehrgeizigstes Werk und zeigt meisterhaft die seismischen Verschiebungen, die das Europa des 19. Jahrhunderts erschütterten. Tauchen Sie mit Ken Folletts Helden ein in den Kampf zwischen Mitgefühl und Gier, Liebe und Hass, Fortschritt und Tradition!

Title: [Spanish] - Great Divide, The Entre dos aguas (Spanish edition) Author: Cristina Henriquez Narrator: Jane Santos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: De la aclamada autora de El libro de los americanos desconocidos, llega la extraordinaria novela épica de Cristina Henríquez sobre la construcción del canal de Panamá: un hito histórico que partió en dos la historia del continente americano, así como las vidas de quienes lo hicieron posible. Dicen que la construcción del canal será la hazaña más grande en la historia de la ingeniería. Pero ¿quién va a construirlo? Para Francisco, un pescador lugareño que no tolera que las potencias extranjeras saqueen a pedazos su país, nada es más desagradable que la decisión de su hijo, Omar, de trabajar como excavador en la zona de perforación. Pero para Omar, cuya crianza fue tranquila y solitaria, este trabajo es la oportunidad de, por fin, encontrar una conexión. Ada Bunting, una audaz joven de dieciséis años proveniente de Barbados, llega a Panamá como polizonte junto con miles de antillanos en busca de trabajo. Sola y sin recursos, está decidida a encontrar una ocupación que le permita ganar suficiente dinero para la cirugía de su hermana enferma. Cuando ve que un joven —Omar— se desmaya después de una jornada agotadora, ella es la única que corre a su auxilio. John Oswald ha dedicado su vida a la investigación científica y se ha embarcado a Panamá con un solo propósito en mente: erradicar la malaria. Pero Marian, su esposa, ha enfermado, y al ver la valentía y compasión de Ada, la contrata para que cuide de Marian. Esta decisión, que resulta funesta, desencadena una conmovedora historia de ambición, lealtad y sacrificio. Con agudeza y empatía, The Great Divide explora las vidas que se entrecruzaron en la construcción del canal. Con rigor y maestría, Henríquez exalta las vidas de a activistas, pescadores, trabajadores, periodistas, vecinos, médicos y adivinos, los verdaderos protagonistas de este hito, pero que rara vez han sido reconocidos por la historia, aunque hayan forjado su curso.  An epic novel about the construction of the Panama Canal, casting light on the unsung people who lived, loved, and labored there, by Cristina Henríquez, acclaimed author of The Book of Unknown Americans It is said that the canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find a connection. Ada Bunting is a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work. Alone and with no resources, she is determined to find a job that will earn enough money for her ailing sister’s surgery. When she sees a young man—Omar—who has collapsed after a grueling shift, she is the only one who rushes to his aid. John Oswald has dedicated his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-minded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now, his wife, Marian, has fallen ill herself, and when he witnesses Ada’s bravery and compassion, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.  Searing and empathetic,The Great Divide explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayers—those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.

Dicen que la construcción del canal será la hazaña más grande en la historia de la ingeniería. Pero ¿quién va a construirlo? Para Francisco, un pescador lugareño que no tolera que las potencias extranjeras saqueen a pedazos su país, nada es más desagradable que la decisión de su hijo, Omar, de trabajar como excavador en la zona de perforación. Pero para Omar, cuya crianza fue tranquila y solitaria, este trabajo es la oportunidad de, por fin, encontrar una conexión. Ada Bunting, una audaz joven de dieciséis años proveniente de Barbados, llega a Panamá como polizonte junto con miles de antillanos en busca de trabajo. Sola y sin recursos, está decidida a encontrar una ocupación que le permita ganar suficiente dinero para la cirugía de su hermana enferma. Cuando ve que un joven —Omar— se desmaya después de una jornada agotadora, ella es la única que corre a su auxilio. John Oswald ha dedicado su vida a la investigación científica y se ha embarcado a Panamá con un solo propósito en mente: erradicar la malaria. Pero Marian, su esposa, ha enfermado, y al ver la valentía y compasión de Ada, la contrata para que cuide de Marian. Esta decisión, que resulta funesta, desencadena una conmovedora historia de ambición, lealtad y sacrificio. Con agudeza y empatía, The Great Divide explora las vidas que se entrecruzaron en la construcción del canal.

New York, 1933: America is in its second decade of Prohibition, and its citizens have never been thirstier.  Lydia Gardiner is the infamous queenpin of a criminal empire. From her penthouse in New York City’s ritzy Plaza Hotel, Lydia deals in all the city’s favorite vices—illegal liquor, drugs, women—ruling with an iron fist, a cold heart, and a knack for beating her coarse male counterparts at their own game.  Jo Hayes is an impulsive young woman determined to forge a life as an auto mechanic, but instead finds herself drawn into Lydia’s orbit following a disastrous car accident.  As Lydia takes Jo under her wing, they get pulled into a daring heist that just might bring down the city’s biggest bootlegger.  That is, if they can escape the watchful eye of an up-and-coming NYPD detective with a score to settle.  But as the two women flit between shady billiard halls and glitzy soirees, straddling New York’s highest society and seamiest underworld, they will soon learn that nothing is quite what it seems – and everyone has a hidden agenda.

With the Church and men and women of the kingdom under threat, they must overcome the narcissistic king and a challenge against their unique love in order to change the course of their lives, and the history of England.

Johnstone Narrator: Neill Thorne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: As hardworking families and ambitious dreamers set down roots across the American West, others swooped down to prey upon them. And after the smoke cleared, those who lived by the gun found themselves facing justice—and vengeance . . . It was supposed to be a simple robbery. A fortune in gold for the taking. What Hack Long and his outlaws hadn't figured on was the Texas Rangers pouncing on them like a pack of rabid wolves. Desperate to escape, Long led his men south of the Rio Grande where they ran afoul of Mexican Rurales and were imprisoned. Unwilling to die behind the bars of the hellish prison where life is worth less than a peso, Long's band of desperadoes break out of jail and split up to escape. Now, Two-Horses, Luke Fischer, Gabriel Santana, Billy Lightning, and Long are scrabbling along a desolate landscape, heading for Texas to reclaim their ill-gotten gains, hunted by dogged lawmen, merciless Comaches, and a violent gang of bandits who also want the stolen gold. Though they be thieves and outlaws, Long and his men aren't nearly as deadly as their pursuers. They may not deserve forgiveness for their sins, but only death passes judgment on both the good and the bad. . . J.A. Johnstone, William W.

Vigilante Justice. A thrilling new series from the legendary Western author William W. Johnstone where justice is very personal. It begins with a massacre.

Title: Light to the Hills: A Novel Author: Bonnie Blaylock Narrator: Shannon Mcmanus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 1, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A richly rewarding novel about family bonds, the power of words, and the resilience of mothers and daughters in 1930s Appalachia. The folks in the Kentucky Appalachians are scraping by. Coal mining and hardscrabble know-how are a way of life for these isolated people. But when Amanda Rye, a young widowed mother and traveling packhorse librarian, comes through a mountain community hit hard by the nation’s economic collapse, she brings with her hope, courage, and apple pie. Along the way, Amanda takes a shine to the MacInteer family, especially to the gentle Rai; her quick-study daughter, Sass; and Finn, the eldest son who’s easy to warm to. They remind Amanda of her childhood and her parents with whom she longs to be reconciled. Her connection with the MacInteers deepens, and Amanda shares with them a dangerous secret from her past. When that secret catches up with Amanda in the present, she, Rai, Sass, and Finn find their lives intersecting—and threatened—in the most unexpected ways. Now they must come together as the truth lights a path toward survival, mountain justice, forgiveness, and hope.

Title: The Modern Fairies: A Novel Author: Clare Pollard Narrator: Kathryn Drysdale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A BookPage Best Historical Fiction Book of the Year • “Artfully composed…keenly alive…this memorable novel reminds the reader of the enduring power of storytelling to transform and even save lives.” —The New York Times Lauren Groff’s Matrix meets Ophelia Field’s The Favourite in this wry and “bawdy” (Los Angeles Times) historical novel—inspired by true events—featuring an elite group of Paris intellectuals who perform fairy tales that put both the storytellers and their closely kept secrets in grave danger. Why don’t they tell you it is the beautiful princess who becomes the evil queen; that they are just the same person at different points in their story? At a safe distance from the intrigues of courtly life at Louis XIV’s Versailles, an intellectual crowd of mostly women have been gathering in a Parisian home to share what hostess Marie D’Aulnoy herself has christened contes de fées: fairy tales. Recently ousted from court and still raw from the death of his beloved wife, Charles Perrault finds companionship and creative camaraderie at the salon, where he eagerly joins the storytellers. Their hostess is impressive, fiercely intelligent, but somehow unreadable. She is harboring secrets of her own: sold off as a child in marriage to a brutal baron, imprisonment, scandal. Despite the vicious Versailles gossip, Marie has mysteriously been allowed to return to polite society and establish her salon in the heart of Paris. A devastating winter soon sweeps in, bringing with it all kinds of rumors and fears. A spate of poisonings at Versailles has led to several arrests, and no matter how high born the suspect, it seems no one is safe. Paranoia stokes the King’s insecurities, and there is a wolf among the salon’s members—someone more dangerous than any force they could conjure in their own tales, watching and waiting, reporting on the secret goings-on, and threatening to destroy them one by one. “Clever and glittering” (Kirkus Reviews), witty and wise, Modern Fairies is a dazzling novel of stories within stories, familiar tales spun with fresh and provocative meaning, perfect for fans of Jenny Offill, Italo Calvino, and Angela Carter.

La guerra hace que lo repugnante se vuelva adecuado, ¿hay algo más inhumano que eso?'. Luego de separarse de su esposa, un periodista peruano regresa a España dispuesto a rehacer su vida. Varias décadas antes, otro peruano, Matías Giurato Roeder, se encuentra en una situación similar: abandona su país para irse a Estados Unidos y experimenta los rigores de la migración y el horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Title: Mina's Matchbox Author: Yoko Ogawa Narrator: Nanako Mizhushima Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 15, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. On sleepless nights, I open the matchbox and reread the story of the girl who gathered shooting stars. After the death of her father, twelve-year-old Tomoko is sent to live for a year with her uncle in the coastal town of Ashiya. It is a year which will change her life. The 1970s are bringing changes to Japan and her uncle's magnificent colonial mansion opens up a new and unfamiliar world for Tomoko; its sprawling gardens are even home to a pygmy hippo the family keeps as a pet. Tomoko finds her relatives equally exotic and beguiling and her growing friendship with her cousin Mina draws her into an intoxicating world full of secret crushes and elaborate storytelling. Rich with the magic and mystery of youth, Mina’s Matchbox is an evocative snapshot of a moment frozen in time, and a striking depiction of a family on the edge of collapse. Praise for Mina's Matchbox 'I read Mina’s Matchbox like a besotted child, enraptured, never wanting it to end.'

Title: Mina's Matchbox Author: Yoko Ogawa Narrator: Nanako Mizhushima Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: August 15, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. On sleepless nights, I open the matchbox and reread the story of the girl who gathered shooting stars. After the death of her father, twelve-year-old Tomoko is sent to live for a year with her uncle in the coastal town of Ashiya. It is a year which will change her life. The 1970s are bringing changes to Japan and her uncle's magnificent colonial mansion opens up a new and unfamiliar world for Tomoko; its sprawling gardens are even home to a pygmy hippo the family keeps as a pet. Tomoko finds her relatives equally exotic and beguiling and her growing friendship with her cousin Mina draws her into an intoxicating world full of secret crushes and elaborate storytelling. Rich with the magic and mystery of youth, Mina’s Matchbox is an evocative snapshot of a moment frozen in time, and a striking depiction of a family on the edge of collapse. Praise for Mina's Matchbox 'I read Mina’s Matchbox like a besotted child, enraptured, never wanting it to end.'

Title: A Little Trickerie Author: Rosanna Pike Narrator: Laura Aikman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 49 minutes Release date: August 1, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Listen. My one-time friend Maria did tell me once: 'Make your own paradise, Tibb, since this world is no sweet place for people like us.' Born a vagabond, Tibb Ingleby has never had a roof of her own. But her mother has taught her that if you're not too bound by the Big Man's rules, there are many ways a woman can find shelter in this world. Now her ma is dead in a trick gone wrong and young Tibb is orphaned and alone. As she wends her way across the fields and forests of medieval England, Tibb will discover there are people who will care for her, as well as those who mean her harm. And there are a great many others who are prepared to believe just about anything. And so, when the opportunity presents itself to escape the shackles society has placed on them, Tibb and her new friends conjure an audacious plan: her greatest trickerie yet. But before they know it, their hoax takes on a life of its own, drawing crowds - and vengeful enemies - to their door... A Little Trickerie is blazingly original, disarmingly funny and deeply moving. Portraying a side of Tudor England rarely seen, it's a tale of belief and superstition, kinship and courage, with a ragtag cast of characters and an unforgettable and distinctly unangelic heroine. 'Crisp, transportive, uplifting. The fresh, irreverent voice of Tibb Ingleby is sheer brilliance. I loved it!'

Title: The Modern Fairies Author: Clare Pollard Narrator: Kathryn Drysdale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 13, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Why don't they tell you it is the beautiful princess who becomes the evil queen; that they are just the same person at different points in their story? Versailles, 1682: a city of the rich, a living fairy-tale, Louis XIV's fever dream. It's a place of opulence, beauty, and power. But strip back the lavish exterior of polite society, and you'll find a dark undercurrent of sexual intrigue and vicious gossip. Nobody is safe here - no matter how highly born they are. No one knows this better than Madame Marie d'Aulnoy. Each week, a rogue group of intellectuals gather at her Parisian home to debate, flirt and perform Contes de Fées - fairy tales - that challenge the status quo, at a salon that will change the course of literature forever. But while they weave tales of glass slippers, enchanted beasts and long-haired princesses, a wolf is lurking, who threatens to destroy the members of the salon one by one. Brilliant and bawdy, romantic and provocative, The Modern Fairies is a dazzling novel inspired by real events, about the delights and dangers of storytelling in dark times. 'Elegant and decadent, vulgar and clever, enchanting and dark. The love child of Angela Carter and Anaïs Nin - the book I really really needed' SARAH PERRY, author of The Essex Serpent 'Pollard's future, as a novelist, is very bright indeed' THE I, praise for Delphi ©2024 Clare Pollard (P)2024 Penguin Audio Clare Pollard Thu, 13 Jun 2024 02:49:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729842 thebookvoice.com 7:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729842]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Chinese] - Destroyed Solemnly Author: Meisen Zhou Narrator: Lang Chuan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 51 minutes Release date: May 1, 1985 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In the autumn of 1919, Xinghua Coal Mining Co., Ltd. began large-scale mining of the Liujiawa coalfield in the Yellow River paleo-channel basin, causing mining-induced earthquakes and ground subsidence. Initially, about a dozen or so acres of land collapsed, rendering some areas uncultivable. Villagers brought their grievances to the company, and subsequently, the two parties agreed to negotiate compensation. However, the company used the excuse of tight finances in the early stages of mining operations to avoid fulfilling its obligations. In February 1920, the land continued to subside. The subsidence spread from Xixia Village in the northeast of Qingquan County, meandering all the way to Dongyuan Town in a neighboring county. Signs of sinking were visible everywhere: the land became uneven, with height differences of up to several feet. Ancestral graves were also affected, with coffins and human bones exposed. In total, nearly thousands of households were impacted. In mid-month, dozens of fissures up to half a foot wide were discovered in the Yellow River ancient embankment. By month's end, the subsidence threatened villages, and some houses in Dongyuan Town collapsed, with village walls cracking in many places. Even then, the company still did not provide compensation. The villagers were extremely indignant, swearing to fight to protect their homeland. In early March, villagers secretly gathered, arming themselves with folk weapons, and elected local gentry Liu Shujie to lead them in resolving the dispute through force. The situation was severe, with violent conflict imminent. Xinghua Company was forced to send personnel to survey the dire state of the collapsed land.

Title: We Are Only Ghosts Author: Jeffrey L. Richards Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 5 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A stunning, lyrical, and emotionally powerful novel of historical fiction spanning World War II–era Europe to 1960s New York City, We Are Only Ghosts is a haunting portrait of survival, loss, love, and redemption in all its human complexity. New York City, 1968: The customers at Café Marie don’t come just for the excellent coffee and pastries. They come for the sophisticated ambiance, and the illusion of being somewhere other than a bustling, exhausting city. Headwaiter Charles Ward helps create that illusion through impeccable service—unobtrusive, nearly invisible, yet always watchful. It’s a skill Charles honed as a young Jewish boy in war-torn Europe, when avoiding attention might mean the difference between life and death. But even then, one man saw him all too clearly—a Nazi officer who was both his savior and tormentor. At seventeen, Charles was deported to Auschwitz with his family. There he was singled out by Obersturmführer Berthold Werden, who hid him in his home. Their entanglement produced a tortured affection mixed with hatred that flares to life again, decades later, when Berthold walks into Café Marie. Drawn back into Berthold’s orbit, Charles is forced to revisit the pain and the brief, undeniable pleasures of the life he once knew. And if he acts on his growing hunger for revenge, will he lose his only tether to the past—the only other witness to who he was and everything he endured—or find peace at last? Jeffrey L.

She's always been happy with her lot in life, and never expected more. But one day, everything changes when she temporarily becomes lady's maid to the Bellingham's daughter, Arabella, who is pregnant with the illegitimate child of her lover, and about to be unhappily married off to a man double her age. When Arabella suddenly disappears and Lily is left holding the baby, the Bellingham's deny any link to the child. But Lily Moon is made of strong stuff, and between her and her sick mother, they know they must give a home to sweet baby Anastasia (Annie) and bring her up despite their own poor means. It is only Arabella's brother, the handsome son and heir of the estate, who shows any interest in the child, and through his kindness a friendship forms between him and Lily. Or, perhaps more than a friendship if the village gossips are to be believed . . . Lily knows she is no match for Louis: this humble pit wench could never steal the heart of the Lord of the manor. They must both deny their feelings and exist as they are: from different worlds.

Title: Henry and Clara Author: Thomas Mallon Narrator: Mia Barron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 4 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: On the evening of Good Friday, 1865, Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris joined the Lincolns in the presidential box at Ford’s Theater, becoming eyewitnesses to one of the great tragedies of American history. In this riveting novel, Thomas Mallon re-creates the unusual love story of this young engaged couple whose fateful encounter with history profoundly affects the remainder of their lives. Lincoln’s assassination is only one part of the remarkable life they share, a dramatic tale of passion, scandal, heroism, murder, and madness, all based on Mallon’s deep research into the fascinating history of the Rathbone and Harris families. Henry and Clara not only tells the astonishing story of its title figures; it also illuminates the culture of nineteenth-century Victorian America: a rigid society barely concealing the suppressed impulses and undercurrents that only grew stronger as the century progressed.

Title: Scandalous Women: A Novel of Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann Author: Gill Paul Narrator: Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Mad Men meets the world of publishing in international bestselling author Gill Paul’s new novel about Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann, two dynamic, groundbreaking writers renowned for their scandalous and controversial novels, and the beleaguered young editorial assistant who introduces them. 1966, NYC: Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls hits the bookstores and she is desperate for a bestseller. It’s steamy, it’s a page-turner, but will it make the big money she needs? In London, Jackie Collins’s racy The World Is Full of Married Men launches her career. But neither author is prepared for the price they will pay for being women who dare to write about sex. Jacqueline and Jackie are lambasted by the literary establishment, deluged with hate mail, and even condemned by feminists. In public, both women shoulder the outcry with dignity; in private, they are crumbling—particularly since they have secrets they don’t want splashed across the front pages. 1965, NYC: College graduate Nancy White is excited to take up her dream job at a Manhattan publishing house, but she could never be prepared for the rampant sexism she will encounter. While working on Valley of the Dolls, she becomes friends with Jacqueline Susann, and, after reaching out to Jackie Collins about a US deal, she is responsible for the two authors meeting. Will the two Jackies clash as they race to top the charts? Will Nancy achieve her ambition of becoming an editor, despite all the men determined to hold her back? Three women struggle to succeed in a man’s world, while desperately trying to protect those they love the most.

Title: Our Narrow Hiding Places: A Novel Author: Kristopher Jansma Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An elderly woman recounts her Dutch family’s survival during the final years of Nazi occupation, shedding new light on old secrets that rippled through subsequent generations.  Eighty-year-old Mieke Geborn’s life is one of quiet routine. Widowed for many years, she enjoys the view from her home on the New Jersey shore, visits with friends, and tai chi at the local retirement community. But when her beloved grandson, Will, and his wife, Teru, show up for a visit, things are soon upended. Their marriage is threatening to unravel, and Will has questions for his grandmother—questions about family secrets that have been lost for decades and are now finally rising to the surface. But telling Will the truth involves returning to the past, and to Mieke’s childhood in coastal Holland. There, in the last years of World War II, she survived the Hunger Winter, a brutal season when food and heat were cut off and thousands of Dutch citizens starved. Her memories weave together childhood magic and the madness of history, and carry readers from the windy beaches of the Hague to the dark cells of a concentration camp, through the bends of eel-filled rivers, and, finally, to the story of Will’s father, absent since Will’s childhood. Our Narrow Hiding Places is a sweeping story of survival and of the terrible cost of war—and a reminder that sometimes the traumas we inherit come along with a resilience we never imagined.

Title: Peggy: A Novel Author: Rebecca Godfrey Narrator: Leslie Jamison, Rebecca Lowman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 1 minute Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A dazzling, richly imagined novel about Peggy Guggenheim—a story of art, family, love, and becoming oneself—by the award-winning author of Under the Bridge, now a Hulu limited series starring Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone “Godfrey brilliantly resurrects the avant-garde adventurer Peggy Guggenheim as a feminist icon for our times.”—Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation “Magnificent . . . Readers will be won over by Godfrey’s incandescent portrait of a singular woman.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review Venice, 1958. Peggy Guggenheim, heiress and now legendary art collector, sits in the sun at her white marble palazzo on the Grand Canal. She’s in a reflective mood, thinking back on her thrilling, tragic, nearly impossible journey from her sheltered, old-fashioned family in New York to here: iconoclast and independent woman. Rebecca Godfrey’s Peggy is a blazingly fresh interpretation of a woman who defies every expectation to become an original. The daughter of two Jewish dynasties, Peggy finds her cloistered life turned upside down at fourteen, when her beloved father perishes on the Titanic. His death prompts Peggy to seek a life of passion and personal freedom and, above all, to believe in the transformative power of art. We follow Peggy as she makes her way through the glamorous but sexist and anti-Semitic art worlds of New York and Europe and meet the numerous men who love her (and her money) while underestimating her intellect, talent, and vision. Along the way, Peggy must balance her loyalty to her family with her need to break free from their narrow, snobbish ways and the unexpected restrictions that come with vast fortune. Rebecca Godfrey’s final book—completed by her friend, the acclaimed writer Leslie Jamison, following Godfrey’s death in 2022—brings to life the woman who helped make the Guggenheim name synonymous with art and genius.

Title: Observations on the Danger of Female Curiosity: Including an account of the unnatural tendencies arising on the over-stimulation of the mind of a lady Series: #1 of Curiosity Author: Suzanne Moss Narrator: Charlie Albers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 49 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An heiress, an obligation, and an unfortunate love for physics, fossils, dead fish, and . . . ladies? 'At once the easiest truth to know, and the hardest to realize' Thea Morell, Georgian heiress and eligible lady, is not normal. At least, that's what she has come to believe. She loves nothing more than spending hours at the study of natural history, collecting fossils, insects, dead fish, bones, and even the odd spider. Up to now, she has held off her mother's entreaties to marry, but this year may be her last chance to make a good match and the pressure is mounting. In her search for scientific truth, Thea also begins to acknowledge a truth about herself—a most inconvenient one which sparks at the lips of the 'electrical venus' and bursts into flame in the presence of the very proper Lady Eleanor Harrington. Despite her attempts to observe and understand, this particular truth defies all rationalization. Has her obsession with the male-dominated world of natural history caused the unnatural tendencies she can't seem to control? And more importantly, can she protect her family's interests whilst reconciling the dual passions of her mind and her heart?

Title: A Coat Dyed Black Author: Don Pugnetti Jr. Narrator: Chris Humphreys Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A young farmer turns into a courageous resistance fighter after Nazi Germany invades Norway and steals his way of life. Bjørn Erliksen lives a peaceful life on Norway’s west coast and has never considered himself anything but a farmer. But when Nazi Germany invades, and his country’s ill-equipped military collapses in less than two months, it falls on him and other ordinary Norwegians to fight back. He escapes to England, trains with an elite Norwegian special forces army unit, and is smuggled back into his homeland as a commando. When Bjørn’s resistance work eventually reunites him with a lost love, they join forces to carry out dangerous sabotage missions, all the while working in the shadows to evade the Gestapo. He weighs love against duty, wrestling with his own conscience as he is forced to commit unspeakable acts and unexpected betrayals. Can Bjørn survive long enough to see Norway’s liberation and find his own peace? Filled with thrilling historical details about a corner of Europe often forgotten in the story of WWII, A Coat Dyed Black illuminates the struggles and sacrifices of ordinary people compelled to do the extraordinary.

Title: Perkins' Ghost: A murder in the opening act Author: L.M. Wasylciw Narrator: Jack Wynters Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 6, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: On opening night of the stage play, Perkins’ Ghost, a shocking murder had occurred, leaving many residents of the sleepy hollow of Liverpool, Nova Scotia to suspect that the murder might have been committed by the ghost of Simeon Perkins. With virtually no clues to follow, apart from the unexplained sightings of a Perkins look-alike, clairvoyants, fortune cookies, intuitions and a seemingly odd connection between the murder or murderer and the Kings Orange Rangers. Sergeant Hill wondered if the murderer would ever be found. The little town of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, once booming with industry, had settled into itself. Ancient trees lined the streets, dappling patterns on the Colonial and Victorian homes. It was a quiet place, where retirees settled and tourists went to sit alongside the Mersey River as it glided by. The little town was drenched in Canadian history and nothing newsworthy had ever happened - until a murder occurred. What Amazon Reviewers Have to Say: “I enjoyed this one. It is a good read, with interesting characters and plot. A good ‘who done it’. The ending is a surprise, and moving. It will be of special interest to anybody from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, where the story takes place. The author has a good knowledge of places and local customs, and puts it all together well.” L.M.

Title: Circus Maximus: An unforgettable Roman odyssey of rivalry and power Author: A.D. O'neill Narrator: Mark Elstob Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: May 9, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The charioteer in his purest form. The supreme master of destiny and the elements. A man who made a circus out of life, and life out of a circus. 'A.D. O'Neill peels back the veil of time and shines a light on the intrigue and excitement of chariot racing in ancient Rome. With exquisite attention to detail and an authentic and engaging voice, Circus Maximus is endlessly and effortlessly entertaining.' MATTHEW HARFFY, author of The Bernicia Chronicles series THE CHAOTIC A.D. 69 When the tyrannical Aulus Vitellius seizes the reins of power in Rome, the empire is already in the grip of a fierce civil war. But the new emperor's first priority is both personal and deeply symbolic: he plans to crush the Green chariot racing faction - the mortal enemies of his beloved Blues - at the Plebeian Games in the Circus Maximus. To save the Greens from certain extinction, two former charioteers - the stoical and determined Corax and the flamboyant and cocksure Alector (once the firmest of friends, now the bitterest of rivals) - have just twenty-six days to transport four champion chariot horses across the breadth of Europe to Rome. Braving blizzards, bandits, floods and wild storms at sea, theirs is an unforgettable odyssey and race-against-time adventure. A.D. O'Neill steers a thundering epic around historical events and real-life characters to a breathtaking climax in the greatest sporting arena of all time - the Circus Maximus. A.D.

Title: The Highwayman's Letter Series: #5 of Sons of Somerset Author: Martha Keyes Narrator: Abigail Langham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: He waylays her carriage and runs off with her property. Can she keep him from stealing her heart as well? By day, Reginald Sinclair works in the post office, but by night, he is the increasingly infamous Paladin, the gallant highwayman making young women swoon all over Somerset. With a vendetta against the wealthy that spans both past and present, Reggie's escapades allow him to take justice into his own hands while helping his uncle avoid insolvency. Joanna Carmichael's father has finally chosen her a husband. While she is not thrilled with her father's selection, Joanna understands it as a business arrangement, something which suits her practicality perfectly. Her father hopes her good sense will exercise a beneficial effect upon her younger sister, Frances, who is regrettably prone to romantics. Frances's preoccupation with reports of the Paladin threaten to overshadow Joanna's coolheaded example, but Joanna is determined to show her sister how foolish and unworthy of admiration the outlaw is. During their encounter, though, the maddening highwayman takes an item of Joanna's—then has the audacity to send her a letter with instructions on how to recover it, beginning a battle of wills that brings Reggie within reach of the people responsible for his family's ruin and forces Joanna to reconsider the desirability of her business arrangement.
