Title: [German] - Und Schnee kann man braten (ungekürzt) Author: Oliver Peral Narrator: Oliver Peral Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 8, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Wer das Heute verstehen will, findet im Gestern Antworten, die unter die Haut gehen ... In dem abgelegenen spanischen Dorf Los Isidros entspinnt sich 1938 unter dem politischen Druck von Diktator Franco eine dramatische Geschichte, deren Auswirkungen bis ins Deutschland von heute spürbar bleiben: Die blutjunge Inés verliebt sich in den unerschrockenen Freiheitskämpfer Manuel, der für seinen Traum eines demokratischen Spaniens einen hohen Preis bezahlt. Während sein Bruder Vicente von einem Leben als Mönch träumt, lenkt eine unheilvolle Begegnung das Schicksal aller Beteiligten in ungewollte Bahnen ... Eingerahmt wird die Geschichte durch ebenso humorvolle wie nachdenkliche Episoden aus dem Leben von Inés' Enkel Oliver, dessen Kindheitserinnerungen in Osnabrück nicht nur die mangelnde Nähe zu seinem Vater Joaquín, sondern auch die generationenübergreifenden Konsequenzen seiner Wurzeln widerspiegeln. Basierend auf wahren Ereignissen ist 'Und Schnee kann man braten' berührende Familiengeschichte und politisches Mahnmal gleichermaßen.

Die Deutschen träumen von einer besseren Zukunft, als Berlin plötzlich durch Kontrollstellen geteilt wird. Nicht alle finden sich damit ab. Der Wunsch, gegen die Maßnahmen aufzubegehren, spaltet auch Augustas Familie. Gleichzeitig entfacht ein erbitterter Kampf der Geheimdienste.

Title: The Last Light over Oslo: A Novel Author: Alix Rickloff Narrator: Erin Bennett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Based on true events, this gripping historical novel set in Norway and Sweden in 1940, follows one of the first female US Ministers, Daisy Harriman, and her niece as the two are unexpectedly caught up in the German invasion of Norway. Cleo Jaffray was an American. A war in Europe had nothing to do with her. She told herself that right up until the man she loved went missing in Poland and Cleo was forced to turn to the only person who might be able to help—her aunt Daisy, the US Minister to Norway. Daisy Harriman has never shied away from a challenge, be it canvassing for women’s suffrage or driving Red Cross ambulances in WWI, so as only the second woman ambassador, she is determined to prove the naysayers wrong and succeed in her post. When her disgraced niece Cleo lands on her doorstep, penniless and demanding help to find her lost lover, Daisy must balance her responsibilities as a diplomat with her desire to help her family. Their search for answers is interrupted when Germany invades Norway and the pair find themselves on the run in a countryside that is quickly becoming a battleground. Then as Daisy is given the task of escorting the Norwegian Crown Princess and her young children to America, Cleo’s lover resurfaces with a story that doesn’t add up and dangerous enemies on his trail. This riveting historical novel, based on the astounding life of Daisy Harriman and a real-life royal rescue, vividly captures a desperate time and a fearless heroine.

Title: Hidden Yellow Stars Author: Rebecca Connolly Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Based on the true story of two World War II heroines who risked everything to save Jewish children from the Gestapo by hiding them throughout Belgium. Belgium, 1942. Young schoolteacher Andrée Geulen secretly defies the Nazis in Belgium, who are forcing Jews to wear a yellow Star of David. Andrée is not Jewish, but she feels a maternal connection to her students, who are living in constant fear, and decides to take action. No child should have to suffer under such persecution. But what can one woman do against an entire army? Ida Sterno is a Jewish woman who works with the Committee for the Defense of Jews in Belgium, a clandestine resistance group tasked with hiding children from the Gestapo. She wants to recruit Andrée because her Aryan appearance can provide crucial security measures for their efforts. Andrée agrees to join and begins work immediately by adopting a code name: Claude Fournier. Together, Andrée and Ida, and their undercover operatives, work around the clock to move Jewish children from their families and smuggle them to safety through the secret channels established by the resistance. As each child is hidden, Andrée commits to memory their true name and history. Someday, she vows, she will help reunite as many of these families as she can. But with the Gestapo closing in and the traitorous Fat Jacques who has turned from ally to enemy and is threatening to identify and expose any Jew he meets, Andrée and Ida must work even harder against increasingly impossible odds to save as many children as possible and keep them safely hidden—even if it might cost them their own lives.

Title: And So I Roar: A Novel Author: Abi Daré Narrator: Adjoa Andoh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A stunning, inspiring new novel from Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl with the Louding Voice When Tia accidentally overhears a whispered conversation between her mother—terminally ill and lying in a hospital bed in Port Harcourt, Nigeria—and her aunt, the repercussions will send her on a desperate quest to uncover a secret her mother has been hiding for nearly two decades. Back home in Lagos a few days later, Adunni, a plucky fourteen-year-old runaway, is lying awake in Tia’s guest room. Having escaped from her rural village in a desperate bid to seek a better future, she’s finally found refuge with Tia, who has helped her enroll in school. It’s always been Adunni’s dream to get an education, and she’s bursting with excitement.    Suddenly, there’s a horrible knocking at the front gate. . . . It’s only the beginning of a harrowing ordeal that will see Tia forced to make a terrible choice between protecting Adunni or finally learning the truth behind the secret her mother has hidden from her. And Adunni will learn that her “louding voice,” as she calls it, is more important than ever, as she must advocate to save not only herself but all the young women of her home village, Ikati.    If she succeeds, she may transform Ikati into a place where girls are allowed to claim the bright futures they deserve—and shout their stories to the world.

As Goldstar Studios' 'new Grace Kelly', she has been sent to the Club to keep her out of trouble, though Julia is just thrilled to finally make friends. For Peggy Carmichael, Julia's roommate, life is not so easy. She takes classes, auditions constantly, and grabs whatever bit-part is offered. Still, her 'big break' remains stubbornly out of reach. Meanwhile, Vivienne Lockhart, the most talented actress of them all, is constantly reduced to 'sexpot' roles. She'll do whatever it takes to succeed. But is she driven by ambition, or by a heartbreaking need to be loved? Finally, there's aspiring scriptwriter Sadie Shore, who has little interest in the trappings of fame. Particularly when she becomes the PA of a big studio boss and her eyes are opened to the perils of her friends' dreams . . . https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724330 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724330]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Salo Solo: El patrullero del amor Author: Mauricio Kartun Narrator: Mauricio Kartun Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Salomón, un viudo de mediana edad, decide salir a la aventura de encontrar pareja sentimental. Y no sentirse solo. «-Circule, Salomón. Circule. En los lugares de siempre no va a encontrar nada: con las que tenía que pasar ya pasó, y con las otras no va a pasar nunca. Ábrase y circule.» Salomón Goldfarb es viudo y ha pasado largo los sesenta. Cerró su localcito de cueros y vive del alquiler. Intenta seguir con su vida pero la soledad lo abruma. Entra en aquel círculo -literalmente vicioso- del ansiolítico y el desvelo; y una tarde, en busca rutinaria de la receta mensual, un médico nuevo de la prepaga lo lanza a circular. Salo, bajito, inseguro siempre, decide salir a la conquista y comienzan allí sus aventuras. Frecuenta teatros, talleres literarios, seminarios de filosofía. Abre una cuenta en Tinder; recupera el contacto con su prima, a quien no ve hace décadas; se acerca a su vecina del piso de abajo; se va de camping; baila; hace de extra en una película y hasta se une a un grupo de activistas provida. Sin demasiado éxito, pero decidido a lograrlo como sea, Salo se convierte en el patrullero del amor. Mauricio Kartun, con el humor irreverente que conocemos de su teatro, despliega en esta novela su finísimo oído, su habilidad para contar historias y su maestría para crear esos personajes inolvidables, que siempre nos recuerdan lo patético, pero también lo sensible de la condición humana. La crítica dijo... Sobre Terrenal. Pequeño misterio ácrata: «La felicidad de la obra teatral perfecta.» Analía Melgar, Perfil «Una obra de excelencia sobrenatural que logró convertirse en el mayor éxito del teatro alternativo argentino de los últimos años.» Juan Carlos Antón, La Prensa «Uno de esos textos que se van a estudiar por siempre, que van a ser joyas, clásicos de la dramaturgia nacional.» Pablo Gorlero, La Nación Sobre La vis cómica «Un despliegue de talento que me dejó sin palabras.» Osvaldo Quiroga, El refugio de la cultura Sobre Salomé de chacra «Un delicioso cóctel de clasicismo griego, gore, diablada, tabladillo telúrico y barricada de insurgencia. Este es un Kartun desatado y en estado de gracia.» Luis Mazas, Veintitrés Sobre Ala de criados «Una obra que roza la perfección teatral y literaria.» Olga Cosentino, Noticias Mauricio Kartun Thu, 30 Nov 2023 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724330 thebookvoice.com 5:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724330]]> to listen full audiobooks.

When Posey unexpectedly inherits a derelict mansion from her quirky old aunt Milbrey, she finagles her way into hosting her high school's twentieth reunion there. She cares nothing about seeing her classmates, but she cares deeply about seeing the love of her life, a man who dumped her nineteen years ago. Possums are nesting in the parlor and the stench of cat urine permeates the sunroom, but she must be ready for the big day, even if she has to do the work herself. Eighteen-year-old Callie Jane finds herself accidentally engaged and is panicking about her fast-approaching wedding. She's also had enough of her domineering mother. Even though she loves her father, the idea of working at his emporium for the rest of her life just makes her . . . so sad. She longs to escape from her mother, her job, her upcoming wedding, and the creepy Peeping Tom terrorizing the town. She dreams of leaving everything she's ever known in her rearview mirror and starting over in California. But when her life has been mapped out for her from birth, how can she break free? Set in a gossipy small town during the turbulent 1960s and full of Southern charm and unforgettable characters, The Empress of Cooke County is a novel about found family, what it means to be loved, and how being true to yourself can have life-altering consequences.

Title: The Forgotten Names: A Tale of Heroism and Reclaiming Identity in Nazi-Occupied France Author: Mario Escobar Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: For fans of The Book of Lost Names and The Way We Hide! In August 1942, French parents were faced with a horrible choice: watch their children die, or abandon them forever. Fifty years later, it becomes one woman's mission to match the abandoned names with the people they belong to. Five years after the highly publicized trial of Klaus Barbie, the 'Butcher of Lyon,' law student Valérie Portheret began her doctoral research into the 108 children who disappeared from Vénissieux fifty years earlier, children who somehow managed to escape deportation and certain death in the German concentration camps. She soon discovers that their rescue was no unexplainable miracle. It was the result of a coordinated effort by clergy, civilians, the French Resistance, and members of other humanitarian organizations who risked their lives as part of a committee dedicated to saving those most vulnerable innocents. Theirs was a heroic act without precedent in Nazi-occupied Europe, made possible due to a loophole in the Nazi agenda to deport all Jewish immigrants from the country: a legally recognized exemption for unaccompanied minors. Therefore, to save their children, the Jewish mothers of Vénissieux were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice of abandoning them forever. Told in dual timelines, The Forgotten Names is a reimagined account of the true stories of the French men and women who have since been named Righteous Among the Nations, the children they rescued, the stifled cries of shattered mothers, and a law student, whose twenty-five-year journey allowed those children to reclaim their heritage and remember their forgotten names. With its gripping narrative and thought-provoking themes, The Forgotten Names is a must-read for history enthusiasts and book clubs alike.

Title: A Pair of Wings: A Novel Author: Carole Hopson Narrator: Alaska Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An airline captain crafts a riveting, adventurous novel inspired by the remarkable true life of pioneer aviatrix Bessie Coleman, a Black woman who learned to fly at the dawn of aviation and found freedom in the air A few years after the Wright brothers’ first flight, Bessie was working the Texas cotton fields with her family when an airplane flew over their heads. It buzzed so low she thought she could catch it in her hands. Bessie was fearless. She knew there was freedom in those wings. The daughter of a woman born into slavery, Bessie answers the call of the Great Migration. She moves to Chicago, where she wins the backing of two wealthy, powerful Black men—Robert Abbott, creator and publisher of the Chicago Defender, and Jesse Binga, the founder of Chicago’s first Black bank. Abbott becomes her mentor, while Binga becomes her lover. Her true first love, though, remains flying. But in 1920, no one in the United States will train a Black woman to fly. So, twenty-eight-year-old Bessie learns to speak French and sets off for Europe. Two years ahead of Amelia Earhart, Bessie earns her pilot's license, and later she learns death-defying stunts from French and German dogfighting combat pilots. While she finds no prejudice in the air, Bessie wrestles with other challenges on the ground. A plane crash nearly kills her, her brothers seem to be crumbling under the weight of Jim Crow, and, while grappling with tough truths about Binga, Bessie begins to wonder if the freedom she finds in the sky means she must otherwise fly solo. With tenderness and mastery, Carole Hopson imagines the breathtaking moxie Bessie Coleman harnessed in order to lift herself out of poverty and become known as “Queen Bess.” A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Title: The Water Margin: Outlaws of the Marsh Author: Shi Naian Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 33 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 29, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Water Margin is one of the most popular classics of early Chinese literature. It tells the vigorous story of 108 characters who, falling foul of the established state authorities are forced to become outlaws. They form a bandit community in Liangshan Marsh, becoming such a formidable force in their own right that they threaten the power of government itself. The author, Shi Nain, writing in the 14th century, the time of the Ming Dynasty, presents the tale with all the force and directness of a live story-teller. He describes in some detail the numerous one-to-one combats with a wide variety of weapons, as well as hand to hand fights. Despite written over half a millennium ago, it all seems very familiar to the contemporary listener, for the style lives on in the Chinese martial arts movies of today. He pulls no punches with the events themselves. There is deception, murder, torture, adultery, beheadings and massacre on a grand scale, reflecting the disorderly nature of the time – it is set 200 years earlier in a lawless period during the Northern Song dynasty. But the power of the story lies in the portrayal of the individuals who cover the wide spectrum of human kind. There are the honourable figures, wrongly branded on the face as criminals and forced to wear the heavy cangue – the massive wooden collar, punishing and restricting movement. There are the mighty warriors who, despite good deeds (killing tigers that are terrorising the neighbourhood) are forced to flee established society by powerful but envious officials. There are monks displaying varying degrees of ethical behaviour. And there are some who simply love to fight, anywhere, anytime, with any weapons, and find themselves most comfortable in the outlaw milieu. The Water Margin has come down to us in various forms – its huge size attracted abridgements – and the version recorded here is the 70-chapter chronicle by Jin Shengtan, dating from the 17th century. The translation by J. H. Jackson appeared in the 1930s. But it has been recently revised by Edwin Lowe who wanted to bring back the earthy flavour of the original, reintroducing the strong language, the brutality and the unexpurgated nature of Shi Nain's language. In short, it is a rip-roaring tale, unrelenting in its energy, more akin to the modern thriller than the elegant, reflective character one would expect from a Chinese classic! Nevertheless, it often exhibits the features of the morality tale with wise aphorisms.

Title: The Water Margin: Outlaws of the Marsh Author: Shi Naian Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 33 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 29, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Water Margin is one of the most popular classics of early Chinese literature. It tells the vigorous story of 108 characters who, falling foul of the established state authorities are forced to become outlaws. They form a bandit community in Liangshan Marsh, becoming such a formidable force in their own right that they threaten the power of government itself. The author, Shi Nain, writing in the 14th century, the time of the Ming Dynasty, presents the tale with all the force and directness of a live story-teller. He describes in some detail the numerous one-to-one combats with a wide variety of weapons, as well as hand to hand fights. Despite written over half a millennium ago, it all seems very familiar to the contemporary listener, for the style lives on in the Chinese martial arts movies of today. He pulls no punches with the events themselves. There is deception, murder, torture, adultery, beheadings and massacre on a grand scale, reflecting the disorderly nature of the time – it is set 200 years earlier in a lawless period during the Northern Song dynasty. But the power of the story lies in the portrayal of the individuals who cover the wide spectrum of human kind. There are the honourable figures, wrongly branded on the face as criminals and forced to wear the heavy cangue – the massive wooden collar, punishing and restricting movement. There are the mighty warriors who, despite good deeds (killing tigers that are terrorising the neighbourhood) are forced to flee established society by powerful but envious officials. There are monks displaying varying degrees of ethical behaviour. And there are some who simply love to fight, anywhere, anytime, with any weapons, and find themselves most comfortable in the outlaw milieu. The Water Margin has come down to us in various forms – its huge size attracted abridgements – and the version recorded here is the 70-chapter chronicle by Jin Shengtan, dating from the 17th century. The translation by J. H. Jackson appeared in the 1930s. But it has been recently revised by Edwin Lowe who wanted to bring back the earthy flavour of the original, reintroducing the strong language, the brutality and the unexpurgated nature of Shi Nain's language. In short, it is a rip-roaring tale, unrelenting in its energy, more akin to the modern thriller than the elegant, reflective character one would expect from a Chinese classic! Nevertheless, it often exhibits the features of the morality tale with wise aphorisms.

Title: All the Summers In Between Author: Brooke Lea Foster Narrator: Emily Ellet Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Make room in your beach bag for this mesmerizing book” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author) about two estranged friends whose unexpected reconnection in the Hamptons forces them to finally confront the terrible event that drove them apart. When wealthy, impulsive Margot meets hardworking and steady Thea in the summer of 1967, the unlikely pair become fast friends, working alongside one another in a record store and spending every spare moment together. But after an unspeakable incident on one devastating August night, they don’t see one another for ten years…until Margot suddenly reappears in Thea’s life, begging for help and harboring more than one dangerous secret. Thea can’t bring herself to refuse her beloved friend—but she also knows she can’t fully trust her either. Unfulfilled as a housewife, Thea enjoys the dazzling sense of adventure Margot brings to her life, but will the truth of what happened to them that fateful summer ruin everything? Testing the boundaries of how far she’ll go for a friend, Thea is forced to reckon with her uncertain future while trying to decide if some friends are meant to remain in the past. Set in the dual timelines of 1967 and 1977, All the Summers In Between is at once “a taut, dynamic examination” (Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Wartime Sisters) of a complex friendship, a delicious glimpse into a bygone Hamptons, and a powerful coming-of-age story of two young women during a transformative era.

Title: The Girls We Sent Away Author: Meagan Church Narrator: Susan Bennett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Girls in your condition don't get to have their say. It’s the 1960s in North Carolina, and Lorraine Delford has it all—an upstanding family, a perfect boyfriend, and an idyllic home complete with a white picket fence. Yet every time she looks through her father’s telescope, she dreams of leaving it all behind to go to space. It’s ambitious, but Lorraine has always been exceptional. But when this darling girl-next-door gets pregnant, she’s forced to learn firsthand the realities that keep women grounded. To hide their daughter’s secret shame, the Delfords send Lorraine to a maternity home for wayward girls. But this is no safe haven—it’s a house with dark secrets and suffocating rules. And as Lorraine begins to piece together a new vision for her life, she must decide if she has the power to fight for the future she wants or if she must submit to the rules of a society she once admired. Powerful and affecting, The Girls We Sent Away is a timely novel set during the intersection of the Baby Scoop Era and Space Race that explores autonomy, belonging, and a quest for agency when the illusions of life-as-you-know-it fall away. “Readers will be entranced as author Meagan Church steadily peels away the veneer of the era, revealing the dark underbelly of a secretive and unforgiving society.”—Tracey Enerson Wood, international bestselling author of The Engineer’s Wife and The War Nurse Meagan Church Tue, 05 Mar 2024 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722724 thebookvoice.com 10:4:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722724]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a man who promises to change their fortunes, but his feet are hovering just a few inches above the ground. He’s a spirit, and he says he can bring Treasure’s beloved father back to life if she’ll do one terrible thing for him first. Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back. It’s an itch that speaks to her patrilineal destiny, an honor never before bestowed upon a girl, to defend the land and protect its people by becoming a Leopard. Her father impressed upon her what an honor this was before he vanished, but it’s one she couldn’t want less—she has enough to worry about as she tries to fit in at a new boarding school. As the two girls reckon with their burgeoning wildness and the legacy of their missing fathers, Ozoemena’s fellow students start to vanish, Treasure’s obligations to the spirit escalate, and Ozoemena’s duty of protection as a Leopard grows. Soon the girls are set on a dangerous collision course as both must face impossible choices, discovering what they are willing to sacrifice to get what is theirs in a world that always says “no” to women.

Title: Gideon's Revolution: A Novel Author: Brian Carso Narrator: Brian Carso Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: It's 1780, days after Benedict Arnold flees to the British when his treasonous plot to surrender the American fort at West Point is discovered and Gideon's Revolution is about to begin. General George Washington orders a secret mission for two Continental Army soldiers to go behind enemy lines, abduct Arnold, and return him to his countrymen to be tried and hanged. Washington selects one of the soldiers, Gideon Wheatley, for the mission because Arnold would trust him. Wheatley fought under Arnold's command at Saratoga and tended to the gravely wounded general for several months at Albany's military hospital. After feigning desertion to the British Army to join Arnold's corps of loyalists, Wheatley and his comrade John Champe seek out Washington's spies in New York and develop a plan to seize the traitor. But when the abduction is foiled, the soldiers are trapped by their own deceit and forced to fight alongside Arnold's raiding army, as if they were traitors themselves. Years after the war, pressed by memories that haunt him and seeking redemption, Wheatley must decide whether he alone can exact revenge on his former friend and commander, a decision that sends him across the Atlantic to London, to find and confront Arnold.

Title: Jamie MacGillivray: The Renegade's Journey Author: John Sayles Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 35 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: It begins in the highlands of Scotland in 1746, at the Battle of Culloden, the last desperate stand of the Stuart 'pretender' to the throne of the Three Kingdoms, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and his rabidly loyal supporters. Vanquished with his comrades by the forces of the Hanoverian (and Protestant) British crown, the novel's eponymous hero, Jamie MacGillivray, narrowly escapes a roadside execution only to be recaptured by the victors and shipped to Marshalsea Prison (central to Charles Dickens's Hard Times) where he cheats the hangman a second time before being sentenced to transportation and indentured servitude in colonial America 'for the term of his natural life.' His travels are paralleled by those of Jenny Ferguson, a poor, village girl swept up on false charges by the English and also sent in chains to the New World. The novel follows Jamie and Jenny through servitude, revolt, escape, and romantic entanglements—pawns in a deadly game. The two continue to cross paths with each other and with some of the leading figures of the era—the devious Lord Lovat, future novelist Henry Fielding, the artist William Hogarth, a young and ambitious George Washington, the doomed General James Wolfe, and the Lenape chief feared throughout the Ohio Valley as Shingas the Terrible.

While the outside world faces the catastrophe of World War I, the Tuareg continue to crisscross the Sahara as a matrilineal society in which the men are veiled, and the women hold property—a world in which anything can happen. It is a world well suited to eighteen-year-old Alice, who discovers a life she could never live in corseted England. In 1917, Alice returns home to a world completely alien to the one she left in the Sahara.

Thus, begins a weeklong journey of revelation as Alice lays bare her secrets.

In this harrowing story based on authentic historical documents, we follow the career of Dr. Silas Weir, “Father of Gyno-Psychiatry,” as he ascends from professional anonymity to national renown. Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics, where he reigns. There, he is allowed to continue his practice, unchecked for decades, making a name for himself by focusing on women who have been neglected by the state—women he subjects to the most grotesque modes of experimentation. As he begins to establish himself as a pioneer of nineteenth-century surgery, Weir’s ambition is fueled by his obsessive fascination with a young Irish indentured servant named Brigit, who becomes not only Weir’s primary experimental subject, but also the agent of his destruction. Narrated by Silas Weir’s eldest son, who has repudiated his father’s brutal legacy, Butcher is a unique blend of fiction and fact, a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche conjoined, in its startling conclusion, with unexpected romance. Once again, Joyce Carol Oates has written a spellbinding novel confirming her position as one of our celebrated American visionaries of the imagination.

Title: The Nightingale's Castle: A Novel of Erzsebet BAthory, the Blood Countess Author: Sonia Velton Narrator: Elinor Coleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In the vein of riveting historical novels such as Hamnet and Circe—with a touch of Dracula—a propulsive, feminist reimagining of the story of Erzsébet Báthory, the infamous sixteenth-century Hungarian aristocrat known as the “Blood Countess”, who was rumored to have murdered hundreds of peasant girls and bathed in their blood. In 1573, Countess Erzsébet Báthory gives birth to an illegitimate child. Secretly taken to a peasant family living in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, the infant girl is raised as their own. Years later, a young woman called Boróka—ignorant of her true history—is sent to join the Countess’s household. Terrified of the Countess’s murderous reputation and the brutally cruel women who run the castle, Boróka struggles to find her place. Then plague breaches the castle’s walls, and a tentative bond unexpectedly forms between the girl and the Countess. But powerful forces are moving against the great lady whose wealth and independence threatens the king. Can the Countess trust the women seemingly so close to her? And when the show trial begins against the infamous “Blood Countess” where will Boróka’s loyalties lie?

Title: [German] - Die vermisste Tochter - Die verlorenen Töchter, Band 2 (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Soraya Lane Narrator: Christiane Marx Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 5 minutes Release date: December 1, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Eine Einladung zum Träumen und in-der-Ferne-schwelgen: Reisen Sie mit Die vermisste Tochter, dem 2. Teil der bewegenden Familiengeheimnis-Saga Die verlorenen Töchter von Soraya Lane, in das Kuba der 1950er Jahre. Kunstvoll verwebt die Autorin zwei emotionsgeladene Liebesgeschichten und das Schicksal zweier Frauen in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit. Kommen Sie mit auf ein gefühlvolles Leseabenteuer! Auf den Spuren eines Familiengeheimnisses ins glanzvolle Kuba der 1950er London in der Gegenwart. Es beginnt mit einer kleinen hölzernen Schachtel mit dem Namen ihrer Großmutter und der Zeichnung eines Familienwappens: Claudia fällt ein geheimnisvolles Erbstück in die Hände und ihre Neugier ist geweckt - ist das der Schlüssel, um endlich mehr über das Leben ihrer verstorbenen Großmutter zu erfahren? Ihre Nachforschungen stoßen sie auf die kubanische Familie Diaz, der in den 1950er-Jahren eine große Zuckerrohrplantage gehörte. Kurzentschlossen fliegt Claudia nach Havanna, um mehr über die Vergangenheit ihrer Familie zu erfahren. Kaum angekommen ist sie wie verzaubert von der quirligen, vor Lebensfreude sprudelnden Stadt und spürt eine ungekannte Verbundenheit mit dem Land und seinen Bewohnern. Als sie den Koch Mateo trifft, zeigt dieser ihr nicht nur das beste Street Food von Havanna, sondern hilft ihr auch dabei, dem Geheimnis um ihre Großmutter auf die Spur zu kommen. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf eine emotionale Reise in die Vergangenheit, in das opulente und leidenschaftliche Kuba der 1950er Jahre. Mitreißend und wunderbar atmosphärisch erzählt der Familiengeheimnis-Roman von Soraya Lane eine dramatische Familiengeschichte und die Geschichte einer Liebe, die alle Grenzen überwindet. Im 1.

Er war der vielleicht strahlendste Fürst seiner Zeit, ein Förderer der Städte, Minnedichter und Ausrichter glänzender Turniere: Heinrich der Erlauchte, Markgraf von Meißen und Landgraf von Thüringen. Doch zu Beginn der Geschichte ist ungewiss, ob er die Herrschaft je antreten wird. Sein Vater stirbt, als Heinrich drei Jahre ist. Sein Oheim Ludwig von Thüringen, der gerade die ungarische Königstochter Elisabeth geheiratet hat, wird sein Vormund. Bewahrt er dem Neffen das Erbe oder will er es an sich reißen? In ihrer Not ruft die Markgräfinwitwe Jutta Lukas aus Freiberg zu sich. Ihn hatte sie einst vom Hof geschickt, denn seine Stieftochter Clara war die große Liebe ihres Mannes. Lukas schart Getreue um sich und ruft Marthes ältesten Sohn Thomas aus dem Heiligen Land nach Meißen. Marthes Enkelin Änne verschlägt es derweil nach Thüringen, wo sie verstörende Begegnungen mit der später heiliggesprochene Elisabeth und deren erbarmungslosem Beichtvater hat, dem fanatischen Kreuzzugsprediger und Ketzerverfolger Konrad von Marburg. Die heilkundige Marthe ist die Titelfigur von Sabine Eberts historischen Bestsellern der fünfbändigen Hebammen-Saga. Aus der Sicht von Marthes Kindern und Enkeln lässt uns Sabine Ebert in der historischen Roman-Reihe ein faszinierendes Jahrhundert erleben: die große Zeit der Minne und der Auseinandersetzungen Kaisers Friedrich II. mit dem Papst.

Sankt Petersburg, 1917. Der junge Bibliothekar Artur flieht vor den Schergen der Revolution, im Gepäck ein Manuskript, das ihn retten soll - und die Leben vieler anderer bedroht. Sein Ziel ist Leipzig, die Stadt der Bücher. Im legendären Graphischen Viertel will er seine große Liebe Mara wiedersehen, die dem Sohn eines reichen Verlegers versprochen ist. Cote d'Azur, 1928. Das Mädchen Liette findet auf dem Dachboden des Luxushotels Château Trois Grâces die vergessenen Reisekisten russischer Familien, die während der Revolution ermordet wurden. Darin entdeckt sie ein altes, mit einem Schloss gesichertes Buch. Dreißig Jahre später beauftragt Liette, mittlerweile Direktorin des Hotels, den Gentleman-Ganoven Thomas Jansen, mehr über die ehemalige Besitzerin des Buchs herauszufinden - eine Russin namens Mara. Die Spur führt zu einem Bibliothekar, der vor Jahren nach Leipzig kam, zu einer verlassenen Villa am Meer und der geheimnisvollen Bibliothek im Nebel. Wie schon in seinem Erfolgsroman Die Bücher, der Junge und die Nacht beschwört Kai Meyer die Magie der Bücher und präsentiert eine faszinierende Melange aus Familiensaga, Kriminalroman, Liebesgeschichte und Abenteuer.

Zu den Olympischen Spielen zeigt sich die Reichshauptstadt glamourös und weltoffen. Um den guten Eindruck bei Gästen und Reportern aus aller Welt zu bewahren, muss sich Hermann Schmidt vom Propagandaministerium mit hasserfüllten Schlägern und einer Widerstandsgruppe auseinandersetzen, die regimefeindliche Plakate aufhängt. Sein Leben gerät vollends aus der Bahn, als er sich in die Kunststudentin Anna Kollmann verliebt, die zu den Umstürzlern gehört. Unterdessen gerät auch der Zeppelin-Steward Georg Finkbeiner zwischen die Fronten und deckt ein schreckliches Geheimnis auf: Hinter der Fahrt der Hindenburg zur Eröffnungsfeier der Spiele steckt weit mehr als reine Propaganda.

Title: [German] - Unsereins (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Inger-Maria Mahlke Narrator: Julia Nachtmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 27, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Eine Lübecker Familie, kinderreich, konservativ, kaisertreu: die Lindhorsts. 1890 kommt Marthe in dem weitläufigen Patrizierhaus in der Königstraße zur Welt. Um sie eine Schar älterer Brüder, deren Freiheiten nicht ihre sein werden. Und doch ist es ein Leben mit glänzenden Aussichten. Bis ein Bestsellerroman, verfasst vom Sohn eines verstorbenen Bekannten, den respektablen Lindhorsts klarmacht, dass sie für ihr Umfeld auch nach zwei Generationen noch immer 'die Jüdischen' sind. Unsereins ist der Roman einer Stadt und ihrer Gesellschaft, ihrer Bürger und Lohndiener, der Handwerker und, vor allem, ihrer Frauen. Ob Dienstmädchen, Hausfrau, Weißnäherin oder Schriftstellerin, ob manisch-depressiv wie Marthes Mutter, durchlässig wie Marthe selbst, die mit eigenen und fremden Erwartungen ringt. Inger-Maria Mahlke erzählt von Identität und Zugehörigkeit, von Geschlecht und Klasse, von Macht- und Liebesverhältnissen - von allem, was nicht nur den vormals 'kleinsten Staat des deutschen Reichs', Lübeck, formte und zusammenhielt.

Title: The Secret Pianist Author: Andie Newton Narrator: Mary Galloway Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 17 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Sisters. Traitors. Spies. When a British RAF Whitley plane comes under fire over the French coast and is forced to drop their cargo, a spy messenger pigeon finds its way into unlikely hands… The occupation has taken much from the Cotillard sisters, and as the Germans increase their forces in the seaside town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Gabriella, Martine and Simone can’t escape the feeling that the walls are closing in. Yet, just as they should be trying to stay under the radar, Martine’s discovery of a British messenger pigeon leads them down a new and dangerous path. Gaby would do anything to protect her sisters but when the pianist is forced to teach the step-daughter of a German Commandant, and the town accuses the Cotillards of becoming ‘Bad French’ and in allegiance with the enemy, she realizes they have to take the opportunity to fight back that has been handed to them. Now, as the sisters’ secrets wing their way to an unknown contact in London, Gaby, Martine and Simone have to wonder – have they opened a lifeline, or sealed their fate?

Title: Maria: A Novel of Maria von Trapp Author: Michelle Moran Narrator: Natasha Soudek, Eileen Stevens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 1 minute Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Maria von Trapp. You know the name and the iconic songs, but do you know her real story? This dramatic novel, based on the woman glamorized in The Sound of Music, brings Maria to life as never before. “As immersive, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive as the musical . . . This one is not to be missed.”—Allison Pataki, author of Finding Margaret Fuller In the 1950s, Oscar Hammerstein is asked to write the lyrics to a musical based on the life of a woman named Maria von Trapp. He’s intrigued to learn that she was once a novice who hoped to live quietly as an Austrian nun before her abbey sent her away to teach a widowed baron’s sickly child. What should have been a ten-month assignment, however, unexpectedly turned into a marriage proposal. And when the family was forced to flee their home to escape the Nazis, it was Maria who instructed them on how to survive using nothing but the power of their voices. It’s an inspirational story, to be sure, and as half of the famous Rodgers & Hammerstein duo, Hammerstein knows it has big Broadway potential. Yet much of Maria’s life will have to be reinvented for the stage, and with the horrors of war still fresh in people’s minds, Hammerstein can’t let audiences see just how close the von Trapps came to losing their lives. But when Maria sees the script that is supposedly based on her life, she becomes so incensed that she sets off to confront Hammerstein in person. Told that he’s busy, she is asked to express her concerns to his secretary, Fran, instead. The pair strike up an unlikely friendship as Maria tells Fran about her life, contradicting much of what will eventually appear in The Sound of Music. A tale of love, loss, and the difficult choices that we are often forced to make, Maria is a powerful reminder that the truth is usually more complicated—and certainly more compelling—than the stories immortalized by Hollywood.

Los hermanos Montalbán, anticuarios castizos de Madrid, y sus ayudantes, Edmundo Esparza y Emilia Sanders, deben realizar una curiosa investigación sobre el cuadro El origen del mundo.

Title: The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia: A novel Author: Juliet Grames Narrator: Juliet Grames, Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 35 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: One unidentified skeleton. Three missing men. A village full of secrets. The best-selling author of The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna brings us a sparkling—by turns funny and moving—novel about a young American woman turned amateur detective in a small village in Southern Italy (“Terrific” –Boston Globe). Calabria, 1960. Francesca Loftfield, a twenty-seven-year-old, starry-eyed American, arrives in the isolated mountain village of Santa Chionia tasked with opening a nursery school. There is no road, no doctor, no running water or electricity. And thanks to a recent flood that swept away the post office, there’s no mail, either. Most troubling, though, is the human skeleton that surfaced after the flood waters receded. Who is it? And why don’t the police come and investigate? When the local priest's housekeeper begs Francesca to help determine if the remains are those of her long-missing son, Francesca begins to ask a lot of inconvenient questions. As an outsider, she might be the only person who can uncover the truth. Or she might be getting in over her head. As she attempts to juggle a nosy landlady, a suspiciously dashing shepherd, and a network of local families bound together by a code of silence, Francesca finds herself forced to choose between the charitable mission that brought her to Santa Chionia, and her future happiness, between truth and survival. Set in the wild heart of Calabria, a land of sheer cliff faces, ancient tradition, dazzling sunlight—and one of the world’s most ruthless criminal syndicates—The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia is a suspenseful puzzle mystery, a captivating romance, and an affecting portrait of a young woman in search of a meaningful life.

Title: A Thousand Times Before: A Novel Author: Asha Thanki Narrator: Priya Ayyar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “A rich family saga about art and memory's power to inform the present, make peace with the past, and maybe even alter the future.” — Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Our Missing Hearts “[Asha] Thanki reinvents generational memory, conjuring inheritance as a tapestry of love, trauma, and choices that echo through blood. A profoundly tender and complex debut that I didn't want to put down.' — Sequoia Nagamatsu, bestselling author of How High We Go in the Dark A heartrending family saga following three generations of women connected by a fantastic tapestry through which they inherit the experiences of those that lived before them, sweeping readers from Partition-era India to modern day Brooklyn. Ayukta is finally sitting down with her wife Nadya to respond to a question she’s long avoided: Should they have a child? The decision is complicated by a secret her family has kept for centuries, one that Ayukta will be the first to share with someone outside their bloodline: the women in her family inherit a mysterious tapestry, through which each generation can experience the memories of those who came before her. Ayukta invites Nadya into this lineage, carrying her through its past. She relives her grandmother Amla’s life: Once a happy child in Karachi, Amla migrates to Gujarat during Partition, witnessing violence and loss that forever shape her approach to marriage and motherhood. Amla’s daughter, Arni, bears this weight in her own blood in 1974, when gender equity and urban class distinctions divide the community as a bold student movement takes hold. As Ayukta unspools these generations of women—whole decades of love, loss, heartbreak, and revival—she reveals the tapestry’s second gift: the ability for each of these women to dramatically reshape their own worlds. Like all power, both fantastic and societal, this inheritance is more treacherous than it seems. What would it mean, to impart an impossible burden? To withhold these incredible gifts? Sweeping, deeply felt and intergenerational, A Thousand Times Before is a debut as poetic as it is propulsive, as healing as it is heartbreaking, as it examines what it means to carry our past with us and to pass it on. Rooted in a tender love story, and spun with a tremendous amount of care, this book is a rare, remarkable feat from an incredible new literary talent.

Sweeping, deeply felt and intergenerational, A Thousand Times Before is a debut as poetic as it is propulsive, as healing as it is heartbreaking, as it examines what it means to carry our past with us and to pass it on. Rooted in a tender love story, and spun with a tremendous amount of care, this book is a rare, remarkable feat from an incredible new literary talent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721829 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721829]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Heart in Winter: A Novel Author: Kevin Barry Narrator: Kevin Barry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 54 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: A BEST BOOK OF 2024 FROM THE ECONOMIST AND THE MINNESOTA STAR TRIBUNE Award-winning writer Kevin Barry’s first novel set in America, a savagely funny and achingly romantic tale of young lovers on the lam in 1890s Montana. 'A wedding of Cormac McCarthy with Flann O’Brien; a western but also the most Irish of novels; a tragedy written as farce . . . inspiring joy with every incident, every concept, every sentence.'— The Guardian October 1891. A hard winter approaches across the Rocky Mountains. The city of Butte, Montana is rich on copper mines and rampant with vice and debauchery among a hard-living crowd of immigrant Irish workers. Here we find Tom Rourke, a young poet and ballad-maker of the town, but also a doper, a drinker, and a fearsome degenerate. Just as he feels his life is heading nowhere fast, Polly Gillespie arrives in town as the new bride of the extremely devout mine captain Long Anthony Harrington. A thunderbolt love affair takes spark between Tom and Polly and they strike out west on a stolen horse, moving through the badlands of Montana and Idaho, and briefly an idyll of wild romance perfects itself. But a posse of deranged Cornish gunmen are soon in hot pursuit and closing in fast. With everything to lose and the safety and anonymity of San Francisco still a distant speck on their horizon, the choices they make will haunt them for the rest of their lives. In this love story for the ages—lyrical, profane and propulsive—Kevin Barry has once again demonstrated himself to be a master stylist, an unrivalled humourist, and a true poet of the human heart.

A reminder of the short story’s power. . . . The History of Sound marks Shattuck as one of the form’s brightest lights. . . . A terrific writer. . . . Deeply resonant.” —The Boston Globe “Exquisitely crafted, deeply imagined, exhilaratingly diverse, The History of Sound places Ben Shattuck firmly among the very finest of our storytellers.” —Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of Horse “Magnificent. . . . Poignant. . . . Exquisite.” —Publishers Weekly A stunning collection of interconnected stories set in New England, exploring how the past is often misunderstood and how history, family, heartache, and desire can echo over centuries In twelve luminous stories set across three centuries, The History of Sound examines the unexpected ways the past returns to us and how love and loss are entwined and transformed over generations. In Ben Shattuck's ingenious collection, each story has a companion story, which contains a revelation about the previous, paired story. Mysteries and murders are revealed, history is refracted, and deep emotional connections are woven through characters and families. The haunting title story recalls the journey of two men who meet around a piano in a smoky, dim bar, only to spend a summer walking the Maine woods collecting folk songs in the shadow of the First World War, forever marked by the odyssey. Decades later, in another story, a woman discovers the wax cylinders recorded that fateful summer while cleaning out her new house in Maine. Shattuck’s inventive, exquisite stories transport readers from 1700s Nantucket to the contemporary woods of New Hampshire and beyond—into landscapes both enduring and unmistakably modern. Memories, artifacts, paintings, and journals resurface in surprising and poignant ways among evocative beaches, forests, and orchards, revealing the secrets, misunderstandings, and love that linger across centuries. Written with breathtaking humanity and humor, The History of Sound is a love letter to New England, a radiant conversation between past and present, and a moving meditation on the abiding search for home.

Title: [Russian] - История телесных наказаний в России Author: николай николаевич евреинов Narrator: владимир самойлов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 0 minutes Release date: October 2, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Николай Николаевич Евреинов (1879-1953) – режиссер, драматург, теоретик и историк театра – создал фундаментальный труд, посвященный истории телесных наказаний в России. Зверства Ивана Грозного в эпоху опричного террора и расправы Петра I со стрельцами и придворной аристократией, жестокое подавление восстаний крестьян и казаков и насильственные методы дознаний при расследовании преступлений. Дыба, колесо, кол, четвертование, разрывание, распиливание на части, поджаривание на медленном огне, сдирание кожи и погребение заживо – мрачные страницы истории, которые современному человеку трудно вообразить. Однако несомненная ценность этой книги – не в познании давно отжившего института телесных наказаний, а во «всестороннем изучении быта и нравов народа, практиковавшего на протяжении веков членовредительство, боль и срам как законные и обычные средства воздействия на нарушителей закона».

Billed as the Little Girl with the Big Voice, blues singer Lucille Arnetta Love always dreamed of life under the lights. From traveling family gospel band to lead singer in a riotous vaudeville troupe, Lucille is on the rise.

Decades ago, a botched robbery ended in a suspicious death—and all signs point to Lucille’s own father as the culprit. It’s a secret that Lucille’s family is determined to keep buried—even from Lucille herself. For a time, a fresh start feels possible, especially when Marcus Williams, Lucille’s manager—and sometimes paramour—sets her up with a band to tour the country: Miss Lucille’s Black Troubadours. Lucille’s dream of seeing her name in the bright lights of Broadway may happen yet, if she and the Troubadours can endure the highly competitive, rocky road to fame. Beneath the dazzling glamour of the vaudeville scene lies a wicked underbelly, as drinking, gambling, salacious love affairs and racial tensions compete to dim Lucille’s shining star. And when shady figures from her father’s past emerge, their thirst for revenge threatens to silence Lucille’s career—and the sultry singer herself—for good.

Title: The Berlin Apartment Author: Bryn Turnbull Narrator: Mary Jane Wells Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “Wholly immersive and impeccably researched, Bryn Turnbull’s tale brings the time vividly to life.” —Toronto Star on The Paris Deception For fans of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah, this sweeping love story follows a young couple whose lives are irrevocably changed when they’re separated overnight by the construction of the Berlin Wall. Berlin 1961: When Uli Neumann proposes to Lise Bauer, she has every reason to accept. He offers her love, respect, and a life beyond the strict bounds of the East German society in which she was raised — which she longs to leave more than anything. But only two short days after their engagement, Lise and Uli are torn violently apart when barbed wire is rolled across Berlin, splitting the city into two hostile halves: capitalist West Berlin, an island of western influence isolated far beyond the iron curtain; and the socialist East, a country determined to control its citizens by any means necessary.  Soon, Uli and his friends in West Berlin hatch a plan to get Lise and her unborn child out of East Germany, but as distance and suspicion bleed into their lives and as weeks turn to months, how long can true love survive in the divided city?

Title: Doctor Copernicus: A Novel Author: John Banville Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 45 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The classic novel by "Irish master" (New Yorker) and Booker Prize–winner John Banville brings to life the dramatic and surprising world of sixteenth-century astronomer Nicolas Copernicus and the theory that would shatter the medieval view of the universe. Sixteenth-century Europe is teeming with change and controversy: wars are being waged by princes and bishops and the repercussions of Luther are being felt through a convulsing Germany. In a remote corner of Poland, a modest canon is practicing medicine and studying the heavens, preparing a theory that will shatter the medieval view of the universe. In this astonishing work of historical imagination, John Banville offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence. For, in a world that is equal parts splendor and barbarism, an obscure cleric who seeks “the secret music of the universe” poses a most devastating threat. "A tour de force… Exciting, beautifully written and astonishingly redolent of the late medieval world." —The Times John Banville Tue, 13 Feb 2024 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721198 thebookvoice.com 10:45:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721198]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Kepler: A Novel Author: John Banville Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 20 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: The Booker Prize–winning author of The Sea re-creates the life of the Renaissance mathematical genius Johannes Kepler and his incredible drive to chart the orbits of the planets and the geometry of the universe. Johannes Kepler, born in 1571 in southern Germany, was one of the world’s greatest mathematicians and astronomers. The novel Kepler by John Banville brilliantly re-creates his life and his work, which laid the foundation of the universe even while he was being driven from exile to exile by religious and domestic strife. At the same time, it illuminates the harsh realities of the Renaissance world, rich in imaginative daring but rooted in poverty, squalor and the tyrannical power of emperors.

Title: My Indian Author: Sheila O’neill, Saqamaw Mi'sel Joe Narrator: Sheila O’neill Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 24 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: In 1822, William Epps Cormack sought the expertise of a guide who could lead him across Newfoundland in search of the last remaining Beothuk camps on the island. In his journals, Cormack refers to his guide only as “My Indian.” Now, almost two hundred years later, Mi’sel Joe and Sheila O’Neill reclaim the story of Sylvester Joe, the Mi’kmaw guide engaged by Cormack. In a remarkable feat of historical fiction, My Indian follows Sylvester Joe from his birth (in what is now known as Miawpukek First Nation) and early life in his community to his journey across the island with Cormack. But will Sylvester Joe lead Cormack to the Beothuk, or will he protect the Beothuk and lead his colonial explorer away?

Title: [Spanish] - María de Molina. Tres coronas medievales Author: Almudena De Arteaga Narrator: Raquel Romero Escrivá Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 30, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Premio de Novela Histórica Alfonso X El Sabio «Solo espero que al morir yo no terminen asesinándose entre sí, ya que el odio enraíza en sus almas». A lo largo de toda su vida María de Molina sufrió por amor. Primero por casarse con su sobrino, Sancho IV de Castilla, matrimonio que no fue bien visto ni por el anterior rey, Alfonso X, ni por el papa, que denegó la dispensa por lazos consanguíneos. Su viudedad y la posterior regencia a la espera de la mayoría de edad de su hijo Fernando IV, aguantando los embates de la desestabilizada política ibérica, fueron un nuevo trago amargo para la reina. Al final de sus días presenció la muerte de su hijo y de su nuera y protegió de nuevo como regente a su desvalido nieto, el futuro Alfonso XI, envuelto en las intrigas palaciegas castellanas y los problemas políticos. Esta novela narra, con la pasión y elegancia habituales de la autora, la intensa vida de María de Molina, esposa de Sancho IV de Castilla. Una mujer única que en plena Edad Media gobernó tres veces a su pueblo entre los siglos XIII y XIV.

Title: In The Lion's Sign Author: Stefano Vignaroli Narrator: Luis Cruz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 21, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Year 2019: once again, the scholar Lucia Balleani and the archaeologist Andrea Franciolini will take us by the hand and guide us through the arcane mysteries of the Renaissance Jesi, among streets, alleys and palaces of a historical centre that, at the gates of the 1920s, begins to regurgitate from the underground ancient and important objects from past eras. The archaeological excavations of Piazza Colocci will in fact reserve unexpected surprises in the eyes of the entire population of Jesi. We begin to follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discovery of ancient documents and archaeological finds by the young couple of researchers of our time. New winds of war will in fact lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields.After the first two episodes of the series "The Printer", here we are at the end, the last episode of the saga dedicated to the Renaissance Jesi. We left Andrea almost at the point of death, helped by his beloved, hidden in disguise. The plot has moved to Urbino, but certainly our two heroes, Andrea Franciolini and Lucia Baldeschi, will have to return to Jesi to fulfill their dream of love. The wedding will have to be a festive and opulent event, and will have to be celebrated by the Bishop of the City of Jesi, Monsignor Piersimone Ghislieri. But are we sure that obscure plots, of destiny and of men, will not be able to hinder for the umpteenth time the union between Andrea and Lucia? The two lovers have found each other again, and for nothing in the world would they want to leave each other again. Andrea finally wants to be a father to his little girl, Laura and, why not, to Lucia's adopted daughter, Anna. The girls are fantastic, they are growing up healthy and lively in the country residence of the Counts Baldeschi, and Andrea is enjoying their closeness. But winds of war will once again lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields. And soon to leave the peace and quiet regained. The Lansquenets press the gates of northern Italy and the Duke of Oak, in a strange alliance with Giovanni De' Medici, better known as Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, will do his best to prevent German soldiers from reaching Florence and even Rome. Avoiding the sacking of the Eternal City in 1527 will not be an easy task, neither for the Duke Della Rovere, nor for Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, nor for Captain Franciolino de' Franciolini. Let us once again follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds of the young couple of researchers of our time. Once again, the scholar Lucia Balleani and the archaeologist Andrea Franciolini will take us by the hand and guide us through the arcane mysteries of the Renaissance Jesi, among streets, alleys and palaces of an old town centre that, at the gates of the 1920s, begins to regurgitate from the underground ancient and important objects from past eras.

Title: The London Girls Author: Soraya M. Lane Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: November 8, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the bestselling author of The Last Correspondent comes a remarkable story of three young women who defy the bombs to do their bit for Britain. Will they survive the dark streets of London to see the Allies win the war? London, 1941. The Blitz. When a Royal Navy memo arrives at head office, requesting female recruits to sign up as motorcycle dispatch riders, delivering highly classified orders across the country, three women jump at the chance to sign up for the most dangerous jobs in London. Olivia grew up riding motorcycles with her brothers, and with them fighting abroad she feels it is her duty to join up. The thrill of adventure draws Ava, but with more enthusiasm than skill, will she learn to navigate the treacherous London streets safely? Having lost her family during one of the first air attacks, Florence knows how important it is to have help arrive on the scene—fast—and so she steps up, outmanoeuvring the men behind the wheel of an ambulance. When Olivia, Ava and Florence meet for the first time they know they have found something all of them need—family. As bombs fall, decimating the city they love, these three brave women build a sisterhood amid the rubble, facing down anyone—even their own families—who objects to their service. And while romances bloom and fade, their connection grows ever stronger. But none of them dare consider the terrifying reality that one night Florence’s ambulance may be rescuing someone she loves… Soraya M.

Title: The Tamarind Tree Author: Sundara Ramaswamy Narrator: Amol Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Sundara Ramaswamy’s modern classic, translated from Tamil, is a simply stunning reflection about shared histories, loss, an affinity for nature, and a near-mythic center of life in a village in India. While it lived, the tamarind tree stood at the crossroads of a small village in Southern India. For more than fifty years it was a benevolent observer, offering shade without discrimination. It bore witness to laughter and tears, to tragedy and simple pleasures, and to the history of the village itself as it transformed from the old ways of bullock-led carts to a bustling community of social, political, economic, and ecological change. And for Damodara Asan, an enigmatic philosopher, memory keeper, and master storyteller, the tamarind tree—and everything it inspired—was an endless source of tales that enthralled generations. Unfolding through the bittersweet remembrances of an unnamed narrator who was once beguiled by Asan, The Tamarind Tree is a beautiful and universal story about transition, the compromises of progress, and a long-gone though undying symbol of indestructible dignity, culture, and life.

Melanie Barnett thinks she has it all together. With an ex-fiancé and a pending promotion at a Kentucky bourbon distillery, Melanie has figured out that love and career don’t mix. Until she makes a discovery while cleaning her Jordan MX car, a scarlet-red symbol of the Jazz Age’s independent women that she inherited from her great-great-great-aunt Violet. Its secret compartment holds Violet’s weathered journal—within it an intriguing message: Take from this story what you will, Melanie, and you can bury the rest. Melanie wonders what more there is to learn from Violet’s past. In 1921 Violet Bond defers to no one. Hers is a life of adventure in Detroit, the hub of the motorcar boom and the fastest growing city in America. But in an era of speakeasies, financial windfalls, free-spirited friends, and unexpected romance, it’s easy to spin out of control. Now, as Melanie’s own world takes unexpected turns, her life and Violet’s life intersect. Generations apart, they’re coming into their own and questioning what modern womanhood—and happiness—really means.

Intenta penetrar en la mente de los que presuntamente fueron nuestros primeros padres y nos hace verlos en su ingenuidad, en su mirada de descubrimiento de todo lo que les rodea, incluyéndose a ellos mismos (el "experimento semejante a un reptil" que mira Eva y "la nueva criatura de pelo largo" que ve Adán). Ellos nos presentan una visión masculina y femenina del mundo, aprenden a nombrarlo y a descubrir las maravillas que les brinda, mundo en el que ambos se van encontrando hasta reconocerse y dar una visión esperanzadora más allá de la expulsión del Paraíso.

Title: [Spanish] - El Banquete Author: Platón Narrator: María Cecilia Izarraraz Gutiérrez Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 27, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: El Banquete forma parte de los Diálogos, legado literario y filosófico de Platón. Esta obra se desarrolla en un banquete al que van invitados importantes, entre ellos Sócrates. Erixímaco propone que cada uno de los presentes haga un discurso en alabanza del Amor, de Eros, y de ahí se derivan los siete discursos que lo componen y es así que el amor se hace presente desde diferentes puntos de vista: entre otros, como algo valioso que inspira al hombre la vergüenza del mal y la emulación del bien, o que la búsqueda del amor se origina en la búsqueda de la completud ya que los seres humanos en el inicio estaban compuestos por los dos sexos y fueron castigados por los dioses quienes los dividieron, y es así que desde entonces el ser humano busca permanentemente su otra mitad. Sócrates dice que uno desea lo que no tiene.

Title: [Spanish] - El Banquete Author: Platón Narrator: María Cecilia Izarraraz Gutiérrez Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 27, 2020 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: El Banquete forma parte de los Diálogos, legado literario y filosófico de Platón. Esta obra se desarrolla en un banquete al que van invitados importantes, entre ellos Sócrates. Erixímaco propone que cada uno de los presentes haga un discurso en alabanza del Amor, de Eros, y de ahí se derivan los siete discursos que lo componen y es así que el amor se hace presente desde diferentes puntos de vista: entre otros, como algo valioso que inspira al hombre la vergüenza del mal y la emulación del bien, o que la búsqueda del amor se origina en la búsqueda de la completud ya que los seres humanos en el inicio estaban compuestos por los dos sexos y fueron castigados por los dioses quienes los dividieron, y es así que desde entonces el ser humano busca permanentemente su otra mitad. Sócrates dice que uno desea lo que no tiene.

Title: An Honorable Exit Author: éric Vuillard Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 36 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the award-winning author of The Order of the Day, a piercing account of the lesser-known conflict preceding the Vietnam War that dealt a fatal blow to French colonialism. How can a modern army lose to an army of peasants? Delving into the last gasps of the First Indochina War, which saw the communist Viêt Minh take control of North Vietnam, Éric Vuillard vividly illustrates the attitudes that both enabled French colonialist abuses and ultimately led to their defeat and withdrawal. From the Michelin rubber plantation, where horrific working conditions sparked an epidemic of suicides, to the battlefield, a sense of superiority over the 'yellow men' pervaded European and American forces. And, as with so many conflicts throughout history, there were key actors with a motivation deeper than nationalism or political ideology—greed. An Honorable Exit not only brings to life scenes from the war, but also looks beyond the visceral reality on the ground to the colder calculations of those who seek to benefit from conflict, whether shrewd bankers, who can turn a military win or loss into financial gain, or intelligence operatives like the CIA, who aim to influence governments across the globe. éric Vuillard Tue, 26 Dec 2023 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720296 thebookvoice.com 3:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720296]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Escaping from an abusive marriage, seventeen-year-old Lakshmi makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist—and confidante—to the wealthy women of the upper class. But trusted with the secrets of the wealthy, she can never reveal her own. Years later, she is confronted by her husband who has tracked her down with a high-spirited young girl in tow—a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened.  The Secret Keeper of Jaipur It’s the spring of 1969 and Lakshmi now directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik, her protégé, has finished his private school education, and at twenty, he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema. Malik soon finds that power and money move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur’s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried.

Radha, Lakshmi's younger sister, is living in Paris with her husband and their two daughters, to whom she is devoted, when she finally discovers her passion—the treasure trove of scents. She has an exciting and challenging position working for a master perfumer, helping to design completely new fragrances for clients and building her career one scent at a time. She only wishes Pierre could understand her need to work. She feels his frustration, but she can’t give up this thing that drives her. Tasked with her first major project, Radha travels to India, where she enlists the help of her sister, Lakshmi, and the courtesans of Agra—women who use the power of fragrance to seduce, tease and entice. She’s on the cusp of a breakthrough when she finds out a secret she's kept from her husband for years is about to be revealed, upending her carefully managed world and threatening to destroy a vulnerable marriage.

So when the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. But this is the tale of three women, for it is also the story of the princess Salome herself, consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Herod: a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart.

It is spring 1919, and John Sawtelle’s imagination has gotten him into trouble … again. Now John and his newlywed wife, Mary, along with their two best friends and their three dogs, are setting off for Wisconsin’s northwoods, where they hope to make a fresh start—and, with a little luck, discover what it takes to live a life of meaning, purpose, and adventure. But the place they are headed for is far stranger and more perilous than they realize, and it will take all their ingenuity, along with a few new friends—human, animal, and otherworldly—to realize their dreams. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, mysterious and enchanting, Familiaris takes readers on an unforgettable journey from the halls of a small-town automobile factory, through an epic midwestern firestorm and an ambitious WWII dog-training program, and far back into mankind’s ancient past, examining the dynamics of love and friendship, the vexing nature of families, the universal desire to create something lasting and beautiful, and of course, the species-long partnership between Homo sapiens and Canis familiaris.

Title: McLevy in the New World: A BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Crime Drama Author: David Ashton Narrator: Siobhan Redmond, Full Cast, Brian Cox Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 54 minutes Release date: February 29, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brian Cox and Siobhan Redmond return in two new series of adventures set in San Francisco. Forced to run for his life after killing two suspects, assaulting the Chief Constable and inadvertently causing the death of Lieutenant Roach, McLevy has fled Leith for San Francisco. Somewhat rashly, and against her better judgement, Jean Brash has decided to accompany him... Arriving in America, it seems they’ve jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. San Francisco is as cold and foggy as Leith, and home to just as many criminals. With the Gold Rush at its height, the city is a madhouse, its inhabitants driven by greed. Everyone is dying to get rich quick, and McLevy and Jean are caught in the middle. Unimpressed by San Francisco’s bawdy houses, Jean shifts from brothel-keeping to playing poker, and is soon making a killing. McLevy, however, is having a harder time adjusting. Adrift and purposeless, he goes looking for trouble – and finds it in spades. As he and Jean face violence, corruption, skulduggery and murder, McLevy sets about doing what he does best: tackling crime. His time as a policeman may be over, but in this wild, lawless West, there’s a desperate need for a good private investigator... Starring Brian Cox and Siobhan Redmond, these four entertaining episodes follow ex-Inspector James McLevy and former madame Jean Brash as they attempt to forge a new life in the New World.

Renie Lee has climbed the ladder in a man's world to be head of the Story Department at Warner Bros. Studios. Renie is an idealist who believes that 'the perfect film' can be created. When she pulls an unproduced stage play set in Morocco out of the slush pile, she has a feeling this one is special, maybe not perfect but special enough to secure her place as an equal to the studio's most powerful men. No one agrees with her until two brash young studio writers, Julius and Philip Epstein, decide to back Renie's gamble and bring the Morocco story to the screen. Their screenplay's name: Casablanca. Renie uses her charms on executive producer Hal Wallis until he finally agrees to her plan, but the problems seem insurmountable from the start, and Renie's gamble threatens to become a career killer for not only Renie but also her confederates, the Epsteins.

Title: The Windsor Conspiracy: A Novel of the Crown, a Conspiracy, and the Duchess of Windsor Author: Georgie Blalock Narrator: Ann Marie Gideon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Georgie Blalock, the acclaimed author of The Other Windsor Girl, delivers an enchantingly reimagined fictional portrait of Wallis Simpson through the lens of her cousin who is engaged to spy on the Duchess of Windsor for her alleged Nazi sympathies and finds much more than she bargained for! American Amelia Montague defied her family five years ago to marry the man she loved, but that decision cost her everything. Disowned by her family, and left a penniless widow after her husband’s death, Amelia becomes her cousin Wallis Simpson’s private secretary in France. With no other prospects available, Amelia has no choice but to succeed, and under their Aunt Bessie’s direction, hopes to have a positive influence on Wallis and the Duke of Windsor. During the next two years, Amelia realizes that not everything with the Windsors is glittering happiness. Beneath the façade of the besotted couple simmers Wallis’s rage at her stunted ambition, and the couple soon reveal themselves to be self-centered Nazi supporters who pursue their own interests at any cost. When the Germans invade France, and the Windsors leave Amelia to escape the Gestapo on her own, Amelia finds herself in position to work for the most unlikely of employers: MI5 and the FBI. Convinced to work undercover, Amelia joins the Windsors in Nassau and soon realizes that Wallis’s treachery extends far deeper than the US and British government even knows… Richly imaginative, Georgie Blalock’s novel stuns as it explores two women, opposites in every way, and the choices they make to survive both war and each other. . .

Title: Pearly Everlasting: A Novel Author: Tammy Armstrong Narrator: Jean Ann Douglass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 26 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: FINALIST Barnes and Nobel Discover Prize 2024 WINNER of the HarperCollins Canada-UBC Prize for Best New Fiction Steeped in rural folklore and superstition, and full of remarkable characters, Pearly Everlasting is an enchanting woodland Gothic about the triumph of good over evil, the beauty of the natural world, and a bond of love that cannot be broken. New Brunswick, 1934: A cook in a logging camp rescues an orphaned baby bear and brings it home to his wife. She names the cub Bruno and raises him alongside their newborn daughter, Pearly Everlasting. Living in the forest amid severe poverty during the Great Depression, Pearly’s family and the lumberjacks form a close-knit commu­nity that accepts and embraces the tame young bear in their camp. But when a new camp supervisor—a profiteer who endangers the lives of the loggers—arrives, he is less accepting of Bruno. When the supervisor is later found dead, Bruno is blamed, and then kidnapped and sold to an animal trader. Determined to rescue the only brother she has ever known, Pearly, now a teenager, sets off on a hazardous solo journey—her first trip to the Outside—to find him. To make her way home again, Pearly will tramp through miles of ice and snow, elude malevolent spirits, and confront the cruelty of local villagers.

Title: Pearly Everlasting: A Novel Author: Tammy Armstrong Narrator: Jean Ann Douglass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 26 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: FINALIST Barnes and Nobel Discover Prize 2024 WINNER of the HarperCollins Canada-UBC Prize for Best New Fiction Steeped in rural folklore and superstition, and full of remarkable characters, Pearly Everlasting is an enchanting woodland Gothic about the triumph of good over evil, the beauty of the natural world, and a bond of love that cannot be broken. New Brunswick, 1934: A cook in a logging camp rescues an orphaned baby bear and brings it home to his wife. She names the cub Bruno and raises him alongside their newborn daughter, Pearly Everlasting. Living in the forest amid severe poverty during the Great Depression, Pearly’s family and the lumberjacks form a close-knit commu­nity that accepts and embraces the tame young bear in their camp. But when a new camp supervisor—a profiteer who endangers the lives of the loggers—arrives, he is less accepting of Bruno. When the supervisor is later found dead, Bruno is blamed, and then kidnapped and sold to an animal trader. Determined to rescue the only brother she has ever known, Pearly, now a teenager, sets off on a hazardous solo journey—her first trip to the Outside—to find him. To make her way home again, Pearly will tramp through miles of ice and snow, elude malevolent spirits, and confront the cruelty of local villagers. But over the course of her harrowing journey, she will also discover new worlds, the kindness of strangers, and a strength she never knew she possessed.

Title: [Spanish] - Venus triste Author: Ana Romero Narrator: Dessirée Hernández Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: María Teresa Landa ocupó en dos ocasiones las portadas de los principales periódicos del país: por ser reina de belleza y por ser una asesina. María Teresa Landa fue la ganadora en 1928 del concurso de belleza Señorita México, que la convirtió en la primera Miss México de la historia. Poco después contrajo nupcias con Moisés Vidal, un general de la Revolución venido a menos, que le ocultó que ya estaba casado con otra mujer, también llamada Teresa, con quien además tenía dos hijas. La mañana del 25 de agosto de 1929, María Teresa comenzó su día como cualquier domingo, serena y desenfadada, hasta que se encontró con este titular en Excélsior: «Acusan de bigamia al esposo de Miss México». Su vida dio un vuelco. Presa de la tristeza, la ira y los celos, tomó el revólver de su marido y descargó seis balas sobre él. La reina de belleza era ahora una asesina. La prensa nacional hizo eco de lo ocurrido bajo titulares que se referían a ella como la Viuda Negra. Ana Romero narra la historia de María Teresa con maestría y sensibilidad. No sólo hace eco de las notas de la época, sino que se mete en la piel del personaje para tratar de comprender su psiquis, sus anhelos y sus miedos, y nos ofrece un retrato fascinante de una mujer a quien la belleza llevó tanto a la gloria como a la ruina. «De manera ingeniosa, desnuda el proceso de escritura exhibiendo no sólo las reflexiones del narrador, sino combinando recursos y fuentes hasta convertirlos en parte fundamental de la trama.» -MÓNICA LAVÍN «Con un estilo fresco en que participan el humor y la ironía, invita a una reflexión sobre el devenir de las mujeres en México a lo largo de los últimos cien años.» -EDUARDO ANTONIO PARRA Ana Romero Thu, 26 Oct 2023 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719615 thebookvoice.com 6:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719615]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: O Pioneers! - Unabridged Author: Willa Cather Narrator: Sara Nichols Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 59 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Nebraska native Willa Cather set many of her books - including her second novel, 'O Pioneers' - in the Midwest and often touched on themes of immigration, the challenges of the agricultural industry and the struggles of workaday farmers in her novels. The fact that she actually grew up amid the same people whose stories she depicts gave her books an authenticity that made her novels extremely popular. In 'O Pioneers,' we meet the Bergsons, a family of farmers in the fictional town of Hanover, Nebraska who have emigrated to America from Sweden. When the family patriarch dies, the running of the farm falls to the eldest daughter, Alexandra, who struggles to make the farm viable and provide for the family. Eventually, the focus turns to the romantic entanglements of Alexandra and her brother as well as touching upon the enormous difficulties of running a farm at the turn of the last century. At times funny, touching, tragic and beautiful, 'O Pioneers' was a great success when it was first released and the book has been adapted into both a 1992 film and a 2009 opera of the same name. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

Title: [Spanish] - La vida y la época de Juana la Loca Author: José Luis Olaizola Narrator: Alvaro Moreno Gelabert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 45 minutes Release date: October 7, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Juana I la Loca (1479-1555), reina de Castilla de 1504 a 1555, era hija de los Reyes Católicos. De acuerdo con la política exterior de su padre, contrajo matrimonio con el archiduque Felipe el Hermoso, primogénito de Maximiliano I. En 1504 aparecieron los primeros síntomas de enajenación mental, que se acentuaron a la muerte de su esposo en 1506. Su vida estuvo llena de intrigas y luchas por el poder. Esta referencia, puramente histórica, no explica el extraordinario y dramático destino de esta reina, a quien el pueblo llano tituló «doña Juana la Loca de amor». Por estirpe y por las prendas naturales con que Dios la dotó, fue muy hermosa, estaba llamada a ser la más dichosa de las criaturas. Educada por Beatriz Galindo, la Latina, se dijo que era la princesa más instruida del Renacimiento. Pero, por contra, fue en extremo desgraciada en este mundo, que para ella resultó un auténtico valle de lágrimas. Pasó los últimos treinta y cuatro años de su vida recluida en Tordesillas, sumida en un mundo de sombras del que sólo salía en contadas ocasiones. Funeral y honores los tuvo más sonados que en vida, y su cadáver, junto con el de su amado esposo, reposa en el panteón real de Granada. Su figura es una de las más trágicas y legendarias que ha dado la monarquía española. Esta obra nos acerca, con sensibilidad y comprensión, a su tragedia.

Title: [Spanish] - Catalina de Aragón Author: José Luis Olaizola Narrator: álvaro Moreno Gelabert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 34 minutes Release date: October 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Catalina de Aragón, esposa de Enrique VIII y reina de Inglaterra, es un personaje sorprendente y esencial para comprender un capítulo importantísimo en la historia de Europa: la separación de Inglaterra de la Iglesia de Roma. Hija de los Reyes Católicos, se trasladó a Inglaterra a los dieciséis años para casar con el príncipe Arturo, cuyo matrimonio, por oscuras razones que en parte se desvelan en este libro, no llegó a consumarse. Viuda y virgen, casó con Enrique VIII, hermano de su difunto esposo, ambos profundamente enamorados como queda patente en este relato. El feliz matrimonio duró más de quince años, durante los cuales Inglaterra pasó de ser una corte de guerreros y rústicos terratenientes a un emporio de cultura y refinamiento, precisamente gracias a Catalina de Aragón, que amparó a los principales humanistas europeos, tales como Erasmo de Rotterdam y Juan Luis Vives. En esta obra, José Luis Olaizola, con su habitual rigor histórico, nos explica el proceso por el que Enrique VIII, príncipe adornado con toda clase de virtudes, acaba convirtiéndose en un tirano feroz que comienza por repudiar a Catalina de Aragón, su gran amor, para contraer sucesivos matrimonios, y terminar degollando a dos de sus esposas, Ana Bolena y Catalina Howard, y a sus más fieles amigos. Enrique VIII llegó a tener seis esposas, pero ninguna tan esplendorosa ni con una vida tan novelesca como la de Catalina de Aragón.

En esta obra, José Luis Olaizola, con su habitual rigor histórico, nos explica el proceso por el que Enrique VIII, príncipe adornado con toda clase de virtudes, acaba convirtiéndose en un tirano feroz que comienza por repudiar a Catalina de Aragón, su gran amor, para contraer sucesivos matrimonios, y terminar degollando a dos de sus esposas, Ana Bolena y Catalina Howard, y a sus más fieles amigos. Enrique VIII llegó a tener seis esposas, pero ninguna tan esplendorosa ni con una vida tan novelesca como la de Catalina de Aragón. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719453 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719453]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El Camino Mozárabe Author: Jesús Sánchez Adalid Narrator: Miguel Coll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 51 minutes Release date: October 11, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Los lectores que quedaron fascinados con El mozárabe volverán a disfrutar con una novela magistral ambientada en la época de Abderramán III. Los lectores disfrutarán en estas páginas con legendarios episodios como la épica batalla de Simancas, donde Abderramán III perdió su precioso ejemplar del Corán; la peligrosa misión llevada a cabo por la reina Goto, viuda del último rey de Gallaecia, para rescatar las reliquias de san Paio, que reposan en tierra infiel, algo que muchos intentaron antes y ninguno logró; o la delicada tarea de las embajadas enviadas por Abderramán III y el rey Radamiro, las cuales se cruzan en la vieja ruta hispana, presa de guerras y batallas desde tiempos inmemoriales. Poder, prestigio, intrigas y anhelos de paz se encuentran en una espléndida novela que rescata los olores y aromas de la maravillosa Córdoba del califato, nos pasea por la bucólica Galicia y nos aproxima de manera sencilla y a la vez apasionante a una época importantísima de nuestra historia. Todo ello en torno a la vía que unió Norte y Sur, el Alándalus y el mítico Finis Terrae donde está el sepulcro de Santiago, conocida hoy como «Camino Mozárabe».

Tauchen Sie ein in eine packende Geschichte, die von einem alternativen Krieg erzählt. Autor Hermann Weinhauer, bekannt für seine nervenzerfetzenden Frontberichte, legt mit 'Imperium Germanicum' seinen ersten Ausflug in die Alternativweltgeschichte vor.

Louis Ferdinand wird zum Kaiser des neuen 'Großdeutschen Reichs' gekrönt. Die deutschen Streitkräfte beginnen umgehend damit, den Ausbruch der 6. Armee aus dem Kessel von Stalingrad vorzubereiten. Von Manstein ist wild entschlossen, die mehr als 200.000 Soldaten nicht im Stich zu lassen … - Kann die deutsche Generalität das Ruder herumreißen? - Wird Deutschland den drohenden Mehrfrontenkrieg abwenden? - Welche deutschen Waffenentwicklungen müssen forciert werden, um die Kriegsgegner zu bezwingen?

Ihr Vater verteidigt ihr Verhalten und ermuntert sie, sich in der Welt zu behaupten. Trotzdem wird Amal fortan von allen gemieden. Und dann verlässt der Vater die Familie. Zuflucht findet Amal ausgerechnet bei Younes und seiner Mutter Shahira, die ebenfalls Außenseiter sind. Als sich die Situation Jahre später zuspitzt und der Streit mit der Clique um Raffiq eskaliert, flieht Amal nach Kurdistan und begibt sich auf die Suche nach ihrem Vater. Teil 2: Raffiq Raffiqs Freund Younes steht ungewollt im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit ihres Viertels. Der Grund ist seine Mutter Shahira, die durch ihre Freizügigkeit alle Regeln bricht.

Paris, 1866: When Baroness Sylvie Devereux receives a house call from Charlotte Mothe, the sister she disowned, she fears her shady past as a spirit medium has caught up with her. But with their father ill and Charlotte unable to pay his bills, Sylvie is persuaded into one last con.

The scheme underway, the sisters deploy every trick to terrify the family out of their gold. But when inexplicable horrors start to happen to them, too, the duo question whether they really are at the mercy of a vengeful spirit. And what other deep, dark secrets may come to light?

Title: The Palace of Eros: A Novel Author: Caro De Robertis Narrator: Caro De Robertis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 51 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “It’s a literary gift to see gender expansiveness depicted in an ancient myth with such grace and ease.” —Electric Literature Fans of Circe and Black Sun, “prepare to be astonished” (R.O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries) with this bold and subversive feminist and queer retelling of the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros. Young, headstrong Psyche has captured the eyes of every suitor in town with her tempestuous beauty, which has made her irresistible as a woman yet undesirable as a wife. Secretly, she longs for a life away from the expectations of men. When her father realizes that the future of his family and town will be forever cursed unless he appeases an enraged Aphrodite, he follows the orders of the Oracle, tying Psyche to a rock to be ravaged by a monstrous husband. And yet a monster never arrives. When Eros, nonbinary deity of desire, sees Psyche, she cannot fulfill her promise to her mother Aphrodite to destroy the mortal young woman. Instead, Eros devises a plan to sweep Psyche away to a palace, hidden from the prying eyes of the gods and outside world. There, Eros and Psyche fall in love. Each night, Eros visits Psyche under the cover of impenetrable darkness, where they both experience untold passion and love. But each morning, Eros flies away before light comes to break the spell of the palace that keeps them safe. Before long, Psyche’s nights spent in pleasure turn to days filled with doubts, as she grapples with the cost of secrecy and the complexities of freedom and desire. Restless and spurred by her sisters to reveal Eros’s true nature, she breaks her trust and forces a reckoning that tests them both—and transforms the very heavens in this “brilliant and luminous” (Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author) epic.

Title: The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye: A Novel Author: Briony Cameron Narrator: Angel Pean Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 36 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: This “thrilling, swashbuckling story” (People) based on true events illuminates a woman of color’s rise to power as one of the few female pirate captains to sail the Caribbean, and a forbidden love story that will shape the course of history. In the tumultuous town of Yáquimo, Santo Domingo, Jacquotte Delahaye is an up-and-coming shipwright, but her ambitions are bound by the confines of her self-seeking French father. When her way of life and the delicate balance of power in the town are threatened, she is forced to flee her home and become a woman on the run along with a motley crew of refugees, including a mysterious young woman named Teresa. Jacquotte and her band become indentured servants to the infamous Blackhand, a ruthless pirate captain who rules his ship with an iron fist. As they struggle to survive, Jacquotte finds herself unable to resist Teresa despite their differences. When Blackhand hatches a dangerous scheme to steal a Portuguese shipment of jewels, Jacquotte must rely on her wits, resourcefulness, and friends to survive. But she discovers there is a grander, darker scheme of treachery at play, and she ultimately must decide what price she is willing to pay to secure a better future for them all.

A house is a precious thing... It is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother’s country home, Isabel knows her life is as it should be—led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva, leaving her at Isabel’s doorstep as a guest, to stay for the season. Eva is Isabel’s antithesis: she sleeps late, walks loudly through the house, and touches things she shouldn’t. In response, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house—a spoon, a knife, a bowl—Isabel’s suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel’s paranoia gives way to infatuation, leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva—nor the house in which they live—are what they seem. Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual, and infused with intrigue, atmosphere, and sex, The Safekeep is “a brave and thrilling debut about facing up to the truth of history, and to one’s own desires” (The Guardian).

But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva, leaving her at Isabel’s doorstep as a guest, to stay for the season. Eva is Isabel’s antithesis: she sleeps late, walks loudly through the house, and touches things she shouldn’t. In response, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house—a spoon, a knife, a bowl—Isabel’s suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel’s paranoia gives way to infatuation, leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva—nor the house in which they live—are what they seem. Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual, and infused with intrigue, atmosphere, and sex, The Safekeep is “a brave and thrilling debut about facing up to the truth of history, and to one’s own desires” (The Guardian). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719070 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719070]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Eilis Lacey is Irish, married to Tony Fiorello, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with their wives and children and Tony’s parents, a huge extended family. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis is now forty with two teenage children. Though her ties to Ireland remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home, she has not returned in decades. One day, when Tony is at work an Irishman comes to the door asking for Eilis by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with Tony’s child and that when the baby is born, he will not raise it but instead deposit it on Eilis’s doorstep. It is what Eilis does—and what she refuses to do—in response to this stunning news that makes Tóibín’s novel so riveting and suspenseful. Long Island is a gorgeous story “about a woman thrashing against the constraints of fate” (Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air). It is “a wonder, rich with yearning and regret” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis).

After the violence of Kristallnacht (1938), European Jews, now desperate to emigrate, found the consular doors of the world closed to them. Only one port required no entry visa: Shanghai, a self-governing Western trading enclave in what was technically Chinese territory, a political anomaly that became an escape hatch—if you were lucky enough to afford a ticket on one of the great Lloyd liners sailing to the East and safety. Daniel Lohr was one of the lucky ones—lucky enough to have escaped the Gestapo when his colleagues in the resistance were caught, lucky to have an uncle waiting in Shanghai, lucky to find a casual shipboard flirtation that turns unexpectedly passionate. But even lucky refugees have to confront the reality of Shanghai. With all their assets and passports confiscated by the Nazis, they arrive penniless and stateless in a tumultuous, nearly lawless city notorious for vice. When you can sink fast, how far are you willing to go to survive? What lines do you cross? As Daniel tries to navigate his way through his uncle’s world in Shanghai’s fabled nightlife, he finds himself increasingly ensnared in a maze where politics and crime are two sides of the same shiny coin. The trick, his uncle tells him, is to stay one step ahead. But how do you stay ahead of murder?

Title: Miss Morgan's Book Brigade: A Novel Author: Janet Skeslien Charles Narrator: Jackie Sanders, Sarah Gadon, Marin Ireland, Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 31 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times bestselling author Janet Skeslien Charles and based on the true story of Jessie Carson—the American librarian who changed the literary landscape of France—this is “a moving tale of sacrifice, heroism, and inspired storytelling immersed in the power of books to change our lives” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author). 1918: As the Great War rages, Jessie Carson takes a leave of absence from the New York Public Library to work for the American Committee for Devastated France. Founded by millionaire Anne Morgan, this group of international women help rebuild destroyed French communities just miles from the front. Upon arrival, Jessie strives to establish something that the French have never seen—children’s libraries. She turns ambulances into bookmobiles and trains the first French female librarians. Then she disappears. 1987: When NYPL librarian and aspiring writer Wendy Peterson stumbles across a passing reference to Jessie Carson in the archives, she becomes consumed with learning her fate. In her obsessive research, she discovers that she and the elusive librarian have more in common than their work at New York’s famed library, but she has no idea their paths will converge in surprising ways across time. Based on the extraordinary little-known history of the women who received the Croix de Guerre medal for courage under fire, Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade is a “rich, glorious, life-affirming tribute to literature and female solidarity. Simply unforgettable” (Kate Thompson, author of The Wartime Book Club).

Title: [Spanish] - Declaración de las canciones oscuras Author: Luis Felipe Fabre Narrator: Pedro Ruíz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 10 minutes Release date: October 23, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: En agosto de 1592 arriban al monasterio de Úbeda un alguacil y sus dos ayudantes, con la secreta encomienda de trasladar el cuerpo de fray Juan de la Cruz, el gran poeta y místico carmelita, muerto el año anterior, a su morada final en Segovia. Cuando al exhumarlo lo hallan 'incorrupto y tan fresco como cuando murió' se produce un fervor extático por el cuerpo del fraile, que sólo es liberado para su peregrinaje, meses después, a cambio de que una pierna o un brazo, las fuentes discrepan, permanezca en Úbeda. A lo largo del camino suceden toda clase de aventuras e infortunios, con personajes que parecen extraídos de gestas mitológicas, pues no sólo es el cuerpo un codiciado objeto de deseo o fervorosa devoción -como si fray Juan, que en vida fue un gran seducido, tras su muerte se hubiera convertido en don Juan o el gran seductor-, sino que la historia narrada por Luis Felipe Fabre se entrelaza magistralmente con los versos del fraile, como si en ellos hubiera profetizado el delirio que circundaría a su propio traslado póstumo. Declaración de las canciones oscuras es una obra de suma originalidad, donde Fabre ha conseguido capturar tanto el lenguaje y el tono como la mentalidad de la época en que transcurre la historia, al tiempo que le imprime un carácter muy actual, volviendo a contar el mito de fray Juan de la Cruz en clave contemporánea. Para ello, se vale de un registro que lo mismo roza la delicadeza poética del fraile carmelita, que utiliza el humor y el sentido del absurdo para envolver al lector en una historia que en sus manos deviene atemporal, contagiándonos del deseo místico -o no tan mísitico- que recorre de principio a fin esta prodigiosa novela.

In 1939, Anton, a captain in the Polish army, says goodbye to his wife, Elisabeth. He is leaving to defend their homeland against the invasion by Nazi Germany and Russia. They make a vow that - whatever happens, however much time passes - they'll meet again at the Winter Palace, their stately home in the Polish countryside. The winds of war draw them far apart. Anton is captured and sent to slave in a Siberian logging camp. He joins other POWs in a lost army that battles through snowstorms and scorching deserts in Central Asia. They finally arrive in Jerusalem, where the allies are preparing to invade Nazi-occupied Europe. Anton survives, driven by his determination to join Elisabeth again. The Winter Palace is taken over by the German army, and Elisabeth is forced to be the 'mistress' of a Nazi officer. She is sent to work in an army brothel but escapes to join the Polish resistance. After the war ends, Anton and Elisabeth are at the opposite ends of the world. He is mistakenly told that she is dead.

In 1939, Anton, a captain in the Polish army, says goodbye to his wife, Elisabeth. He is leaving to defend their homeland against the invasion by Nazi Germany and Russia. They make a vow that - whatever happens, however much time passes - they'll meet again at the Winter Palace, their stately home in the Polish countryside. The winds of war draw them far apart. Anton is captured and sent to slave in a Siberian logging camp. He joins other POWs in a lost army that battles through snowstorms and scorching deserts in Central Asia. They finally arrive in Jerusalem, where the allies are preparing to invade Nazi-occupied Europe. Anton survives, driven by his determination to join Elisabeth again. The Winter Palace is taken over by the German army, and Elisabeth is forced to be the 'mistress' of a Nazi officer. She is sent to work in an army brothel but escapes to join the Polish resistance. After the war ends, Anton and Elisabeth are at the opposite ends of the world. He is mistakenly told that she is dead.

Title: By Any Other Name Author: Jodi Picoult Narrator: Laura Benanti, Joe Jameson, Billie Fulford-Brown, Nicholas Guy Smith, Steve West, Andrew Fallaize, Jayne Entwistle, Jodi Picoult, John Lee, Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 25 minutes Release date: October 10, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The #1 New York Times Bestseller What if the greatest writer of all time isn’t who we think he is? What if he isn’t even a he? Step back four hundred years and discover the female author who hid behind the mask of the man we know as William Shakespeare . . . In Elizabethan London, young Emilia Bassano is a ward of English aristocrats. Her education has endowed her with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling, but still she is allowed no voice of her own. Forced to become a mistress to the Lord Chamberlain, who oversees the theatre, Emilia discovers the power of stories to beguile audiences. Secretly, she forms a plan to bring a play of her own to the stage - by paying an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work. In modern-day Manhattan, playwright Melina Green finds a woman's voice is still worth less than a man's. But, inspired by the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, Melina takes a lesson from history and submits a play under a male pseudonym . . . Moving between Elizabethan England and modern day Manhattan, By Any Other Name is a beautifully written, compelling novel that explores the theme of identity and the ways in which two women, centuries apart—one of whom might just be the real author of Shakespeare’s plays—are both forced to hide behind another name to make their voices heard.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller What if the greatest writer of all time isn’t who we think he is? What if he isn’t even a he? Step back four hundred years and discover the female author who hid behind the mask of the man we know as William Shakespeare . . . In Elizabethan London, young Emilia Bassano is a ward of English aristocrats. Her education has endowed her with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling, but still she is allowed no voice of her own. Forced to become a mistress to the Lord Chamberlain, who oversees the theatre, Emilia discovers the power of stories to beguile audiences. Secretly, she forms a plan to bring a play of her own to the stage - by paying an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work. In modern-day Manhattan, playwright Melina Green finds a woman's voice is still worth less than a man's. But, inspired by the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, Melina takes a lesson from history and submits a play under a male pseudonym . . . Moving between Elizabethan England and modern day Manhattan, By Any Other Name is a beautifully written, compelling novel that explores the theme of identity and the ways in which two women, centuries apart—one of whom might just be the real author of Shakespeare’s plays—are both forced to hide behind another name to make their voices heard. 'Her best one yet. Jodi Picoult has combined her trademark research with an astonishing and heart-rending story, embedded in truth, and turned it into a gripping novel' JOJO MOYES 'Stunning. So interesting, clever, educational and moving. One of the best books I've read in recent times' GILLIAN McALLISTER 'A timeless classic from one of our great storytellers' CHRIS WHITAKER 'Had me absolutely captivated . . . I loved all the questions this novel raised about who gets to tell which stories and how complex that can become. Jodi Picoult is a genius' JENNIFER SAINT '[An] inspiring work of feminist literature' ELLE 'Timely and affecting . . . Picoult’s many, many fans will pounce on her latest incisive, pot-stirring tale' BOOKLIST, Starred 'You’ll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life. Book clubs will embrace this rich, inspiring story' KRISTIN HANNAH 'A blend of historical fiction and modern-day settings, the novel gives us timelines that intertwine and surprise.

While he remains hopeful that at least there's the chance for some heroics, the reality is very different. Kemp's war is instead a terrifying odyssey through the panic and confusion of his first battle, the brutal realities of siege warfare, and eventually to the field of Crécy, where he faces the armoured might of the French nobility. But as an elite longbowman, when it comes to winning or losing, he could have a vital - though dangerous - part to play.

Title: [Spanish] - Morir en noviembre Author: Guillermo Galván Narrator: Germán Gijón Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 4, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Noviembre de 1942, el mundo arde en llamas y España, aún arrasada y en plena represión, es un nido de espías. Carlos Lombardi, de nuevo en Madrid, sobrevive como puede con su precaria agencia de detectives. No puede permitirse el lujo de rechazar ningún trabajo por lo que tiene que investigar y seguir a un misterioso viajante de comercio alemán. Nada puede apetecerle menos que volver a meter sus narices en los asuntos del Tercer Reich, pero… A su vez una joven aparece ahogada y la policía del Estado no tiene mucho interés en investigar y descubrir qué es lo que hay detrás. Por lo que Lombardi buscará la forma de averiguarlo viéndose atrapado en una sórdida trama de prostitución, cine y estraperlo. ¿Están conectados ambos casos? Guillermo Galván regresa a la más dura posguerra española para traernos una novela negra en la que, de forma magistral, junta los géneros policiaco, histórico y de espionaje. «La España más oscura en una novela negra que, sin embargo, iluminará al lector con una historia brillante. Lombardi se enfrenta a un caso en apariencia sencillo y acaba siendo engullido por un ciclón de espías, mentiras y asesinos, con la Segunda Guerra Mundial como telón de fondo». Susana Rodríguez Lezaun «La obra se enmarca en el género que ha dado en llamarse 'totalitaismo noir', es decir, novelas de tramas policiales ambientadas en la Alemania nazi, la Unión Soviética o, en este caso, la España de Franco en la posguerra». EFE, sobre Tiempo de siega «El escritor valenciano pergeña una novela que tiene más de crónica social de cómo era el país en los años 40 que de la propia trama policial, aunque el suspense se mantiene de manera extraordinaria en todas sus páginas». Todoliteratura.com, sobre Tiempo de siega «Ese oficio suyo, el del arte de novelar, es el que convierte Tiempo de siega en una historia milimétricamente narrada, en la que no sobra ni falta nada». Juan Bolea, El Periódico de Aragón «Novela negra y ficción histórica se unen en esta novela para llevarnos hasta la España profunda en la que se desarrolla y mostrarnos a una serie de personajes que van despertando lentamente y todavía tienen miedo a pronunciarse. Una trama donde los secretos mejor escondidos pierden su condición de invisibles».

Title: [Spanish] - La Cazadora. La mayor criminal de guerra nazi se oculta a plena luz del día Author: Kate Quinn Narrator: Ana Conca Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 4, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: De la autora superventas de La red de Alice y El código Rosa. La Cazadora es una novela épica y arrolladora acerca de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que arroja luz sobre un oscuro rincón de la historia, de la mano de la autora de los best Sellers de The New York Times La red de Alice y El código Rosa. En los gélidos confines de la Rusia soviética, la audaz y temeraria Nina Markova se une a las célebres Brujas de la Noche, un regimiento de bombardeo nocturno formado exclusivamente por mujeres. Al verse obligada a aterrizar tras las líneas enemigas, Nina habrá de recurrir a todo su ingenio para sobrevivir a su encuentro con una implacable asesina nazi conocida como la Cazadora. El corresponsal de guerra británico Ian Graham ha abandonado el periodismo para dedicarse a perseguir a criminales de guerra nazis, pero hay un objetivo que se le resiste: la Cazadora. Y Nina Markova es la única testigo que ha logrado escapar de ella con vida. En el Boston de posguerra, Jordan McBride, de diecisiete años, desconfía cada vez más de la educada viuda alemana que se convierte en su madrastra. Al indagar en su pasado, Jordan irá dándose cuenta poco a poco de que quizá sea una asesina nazi. «Si te gustó El tatuador de Auschwitz de Heather Morris, lee La Cazadora de Kate Quinn» Kristin Hannah, The Washington Post «Fascinante, escrita con brillantez, cautivadora… Sencillamente magnífica». Jill Mansell «Espléndidamente evocadora y apasionante». The Sunday Times «Un relato cautivador que combina la absorbente epopeya bélica y el suspense de una persecución trepidante… ¡Un logro absoluto!». Pam Jenoff, autora del best seller El vagón de los huérfanos «Una novela de misterio histórico elegante y arrolladora. No te la puedes perder». BookBub «Una opción perfecta para los aficionados a la novela histórica —y en particular a la época de la Segunda Guerra Mundial—, para los amantes de la novela de misterio y para cualquiera que busque historias bien contadas en las que el bien triunfa sobre el mal». Library Journal «Una novela histórica impresionante que sin duda atraerá la atención de los aficionados a la literatura sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Narra tres historias de amor conmovedoras e impredecibles, en las que se entretejen la búsqueda de la justicia, el suspense y el valor que requiere enfrentarse a los mayores miedos de uno mismo». Booklist «Kate Quinn ha creado nada menos que una obra maestra de la novela histórica». Jennifer Robson, autora del best seller El vestido «Nina es una precursora feroz y a la vez vulnerable de Lisbeth Salander. Su historia, narrada en pasajes vívidos y bien documentados, atraviesa toda la novela». Kirkus Reviews «Quinn nos brinda una historia de suspense sobre asesinatos y venganza ambientada en torno a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este emocionante thriller revela con enorme viveza cómo afrontan las personas la adversidad y el sacrificio al perseguir la justicia y el castigo de los culpables».

Title: [Spanish] - Ceniza en la boca Author: Brenda Navarro Narrator: Brenda Navarro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 13, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Diego salta desde un quinto piso y desde entonces esa imagen no deja de taladrarle la cabeza a su hermana: seis segundos y un cuerpo estrellándose contra el suelo. Es ella quien echa la vista atrás y cuenta la historia de los dos hermanos. Su llegada al mundo en un hogar en el que la vida nunca fue justa. Los años que pasaron en México con sus abuelos, mientras su madre se buscaba la vida en España, y era ella, aún niña, quien se hacía cargo de Diego. La etapa en Madrid, una ciudad que no entendían y que tampoco los entendía a ellos. La primera separación, cuando ella se marchó a Barcelona a abrirse camino y su hermano se quedó en el lugar que más odiaba. Y el regreso de ella, cargando las cenizas de Diego, a un México muy distinto al que recordaba.  Esta novela narra el viaje emocional de una joven que intuye las razones del suicidio de su hermano adolescente y protagoniza su propio síndrome de Ulises, en el que ni la ida ni la vuelta son realmente destino. Una historia de separaciones y abandonos, de anhelo y de rabia, de pérdida e iniciación a la vida, en la que Brenda Navarro aborda con enorme valentía cuestiones esquivas como la desigualdad, la xenofobia o el desarraigo, y que la confirma como una de las narradoras más potentes y audaces de nuestra literatura. Intenso, visceral y demoledor, Ceniza en la boca es un libro que quema y plantea la dolorosa pregunta de qué vida merece la pena ser vivida.  'Una irrupción deslumbrante, una nueva voz enérgica y desgarradora'—Miriam Toews Brenda Navarro Wed, 13 Sep 2023 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718324 thebookvoice.com 6:3:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718324]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Es ella quien echa la vista atrás y cuenta la historia de los dos hermanos. Su llegada al mundo en un hogar en el que la vida nunca fue justa. Los años que pasaron en México con sus abuelos, mientras su madre se buscaba la vida en España, y era ella, aún niña, quien se hacía cargo de Diego. La etapa en Madrid, una ciudad que no entendían y que tampoco los entendía a ellos. La primera separación, cuando ella se marchó a Barcelona a abrirse camino y su hermano se quedó en el lugar que más odiaba. Y el regreso de ella, cargando las cenizas de Diego, a un México muy distinto al que recordaba.  Esta novela narra el viaje emocional de una joven que intuye las razones del suicidio de su hermano adolescente y protagoniza su propio síndrome de Ulises, en el que ni la ida ni la vuelta son realmente destino. Una historia de separaciones y abandonos, de anhelo y de rabia, de pérdida e iniciación a la vida, en la que Brenda Navarro aborda con enorme valentía cuestiones esquivas como la desigualdad, la xenofobia o el desarraigo, y que la confirma como una de las narradoras más potentes y audaces de nuestra literatura. Intenso, visceral y demoledor, Ceniza en la boca es un libro que quema y plantea la dolorosa pregunta de qué vida merece la pena ser vivida.  'Una irrupción deslumbrante, una nueva voz enérgica y desgarradora'—Miriam Toews https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717447 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717447]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Francisco Pizarro. Crónica de una locura Author: José Luis Olaizola Narrator: álvaro Moreno Gelabert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 7, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: La vida de Francisco Pizarro, uno de los conquistadores más grandes de todos los tiempos, es un puro asombro.

[...] Juntos hicimos la navegación más larga de la que haya noticia en la historia, que según los geógrafos no habrá nunca otra igual, tanto de dificultades y peligros, como de descubrimientos...»Así comienza esta extraordinaria obra -ajustada al milímetro a la veracidad histórica; escrita con todo el dinamismo y la emoción de las grandes novelas de aventuras-, en la que el relato del primer viaje alrededor del mundo, narrado por un joven marinero que participó en la expedición, se conjuga con la crónica de una fascinación irresistible, la misma que alentaría a los personajes de Melville: la fascinación de «navegar mares prohibidos». Juan Sebastián Elcano, aquel vasco cuidadoso en el vestir y parco de palabras, cuya excepcional inteligencia hizo posible el éxito final de la arriesgada travesía, se yergue como el protagonista indiscutible de una hazaña que dejó atónitos a sus contemporáneos y que, sin duda, volverá a asombrar ahora al lector actual con esta obra apasionante en la que también hay espacio para el humor y los enredos galantes.

Title: Montana: A Novel of the Frontier Series: #1 of Montana Author: William W. Johnstone, J.A. Johnstone Narrator: Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Bordered by the Blackfeet Reservation to the north and mountain ranges to the east and west, Cutthroat County is seven-hundred glorious square miles of Big Sky grandeur. For generations, the Maddox and Drew families have ruled the county—often at odds with each other. Today, Ashton Maddox runs the biggest Black Angus ranch in the country, while County Sheriff John T. Drew upholds the law like his forefathers did over a century ago. A lot has changed since the county was established in 1891. But some things feel straight out of the 1800s. Especially when cows start disappearing from the ranches . . . Residents and news media still recall a gun-blazing tale of the land-grabbing battles fought by Maddox's and Drew's ancestors. Meanwhile, their present-day descendants face a new kind of war that's every bit as bloody. Sheriff Drew's girlfriend/deputy is shot and seriously wounded in what appears to be a routine traffic stop. When Ashton Maddox's rival rancher's foreman is found murdered and a modern-day vigilante group hires a hard-drinking, publicity-hungry retired Texas Ranger to investigate, Drew and Maddox decide to do what their forefathers did so many years ago: join forces against a common enemy. Risk their skins against all odds. And keep the dream of Montana alive for generations to come . . . William W. Johnstone, J.A.

In a North American British province, a group of Norweigan settlers have carved a life for themselves in a lakeshore village called Skarkavik.

Title: Blood on the Crossties: The Florida Chautauqua Murders Series: #1 of Choctaw Parker Mystery/Adventure Author: James D. Brewer Narrator: Rick Adamson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 14 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Railroad detective Choctaw Parker works to solve all manner of murder-most-foul in Florida. In early February of 1885, the robbery of the Pensacola and Atlantic train could not have come at a worse time for Florida panhandle railroad magnate William Chipley. He had put time, money, and both his personal and business reputation on the line to host the first Gulf Chautauqua in DeFuniak Springs. Now, with the murder of two guards, and the theft of both a payroll and a shipment of new US Army rifles, the success of the Chautauqua was at risk. Chipley hires the half-White/half-Indian L&N railroad detective Jimmy Lee 'Choctaw' Parker to investigate the crime, find the culprits, and restore confidence to those who would travel from all over the eastern US to attend the first month-long Florida Chautauqua. But Parker is not the only one investigating the robbery of the P&A, for he finds out very soon that he must work with—or in spite of—a pair of Pinkertons hired by the insurance company to recover the money, as well as an aggressive, vengeful, US Army Captain determined to recover the weapons and get justice for the two murdered soldiers. Parker, along with a long-time associate and a resourceful lady gambler, must navigate a web of politics, racial tension, Civil War grudges, and greed to bring to justice the culprits in this Victorian-era historical mystery.

Title: The Herbalist's Secret: A gripping historical mystery set in the Scottish Highlands Author: Annabelle Marx Narrator: Helen Mcalpine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 39 minutes Release date: October 27, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Two small lifeless bodies lie on the sand, arms carefully placed by their sides. On the other side of the loch stands an imposing house. It's almost as if it gives a silent howl of distress, echoing over the hills, making the birds turn their gaze down to the beach where the two bodies lie, awaiting discovery. 1889: Kitty Gray dreams of attending university and becoming a doctor, but when she is married off to Charles Maclean, one of Glasgow's richest and most eligible bachelors, her aspiration suddenly slips far from reach.  Exiled to her new remote home in the Scottish Highlands, with its gargoyles, gothic arches and turrets, Kitty seeks solace in creating a restorative herb garden. Combining her medical knowledge and new-found fascination with herbalism, Kitty spends her days absorbed in a world of herbs and their healing properties until a devastating tragedy strikes... 2003: Caitlin Black arrives at Ardbray House determined to restore the crumbling mansion and Kitty's walled garden to their former glory, enlisting the help of long-time housekeeper Greer Mackenzie. But as Caitlin delves deeper into the history of this once magnificent home, she uncovers a past haunted by misfortune and grief. And beneath the blood-red roses that climb beside the bay window of the drawing room, a human skull is about to be unearthed.  The truth that has held Ardbray House captive for so long is surfacing, and with it, the heart-breaking secret of the herbalist who once lived there.  An evocative, beautifully written, and unforgettable mystery that will transport you to the wild and beautiful Scottish Highlands. The Herbalist’s Secret will have fans of Fiona Valpy, Louise Douglas, and Rhys Bowen completely mesmerised.

Title: A Woman of Opinion Author: Sean Lusk Narrator: Anna Burnett, Olivia Vinall, Roy Mcmillan, Rachel Bavidge Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 52 minutes Release date: July 4, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'I shall be a thousand different Marys and, in such manner, shall find the one I wish to be...' Lady Mary Wortley Montagu longs for adventure, freedom and love, believing that only by truly living can she ever escape the stalking crow of Death... An aristocratic woman in 18th century England is expected to act in certain ways. But Mary has never let society's expectations stifle her: she writes celebrated poetry and articles advocating for equality, as well as endless, often scandalous, letters to her many powerful friends. However, Mary wants more from the world. Using her charm and connections, she engineers a job offer for her husband as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Travelling to Constantinople, Mary finally discovers the autonomous life she dreams of. And when she observes Turkish women 'engrafting' children against smallpox, she resolves to bring the miracle cure back to England. Despite this, Mary's reputation becomes increasingly tainted. Her inability to abide by the rules, her outspoken opinions on women's rights, and her search for love and desire at all costs gains her powerful enemies. While Mary tries to ensure her name will live on by arranging the publication of her diaries after her death, her own daughter works against her, afraid of what they might contain... An illuminating and beautiful novel which gives a voice to the tragically unremembered yet extraordinary life of pioneering poet and feminist, Mary Wortley Montagu. ©2024 Sean Lusk (P)2024 Penguin Audio Sean Lusk Thu, 04 Jul 2024 02:49:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716748 thebookvoice.com 10:52:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716748]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Los niños de Winton Author: Fabiano Massimi Narrator: Rebeca Hernando Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 19, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Un thriller trepidante sobre el hombre que salvó a más de seiscientos niños checoeslovacos del nazismo, por el premiado autor de El ángel de Múnich. «Un fresco intrigante que recorre una de las páginas más oscuras de la historia». Patrizia Violi, La Lettura Praga, 1938. La sombra de Hitler se cierne sobre Checoslovaquia. Unos voluntarios británicos liderados por Nicholas Winton, un joven agente de bolsa, se vuelcan en sacar del país en tren y en avión a los niños judíos para llevarlos a Reino Unido. Solo cuentan con la ayuda de Petra, su guía local, que se une a sus actividades clandestinas. En el centro de su empresa se encuentra la misteriosa Niña de la Sal, que todas las noches vende bolsitas de este codiciado ingrediente en las calles de la ciudad. Nadie conoce su nombre ni cómo consigue el preciado bien, pero corre un grave peligro: un gigantesco oficial alemán la está buscando. Una poderosa novela basada en unos hechos reales nunca desvelados hasta 1988, cuando un documental de la BBC hizo pública la lista de los niños, convirtiendo a Nicholas Winton en un héroe y en candidato a Premio Nobel de la Paz. Massimi nos regala un viaje entre la historia y la ficción que ilumina una de las partes más tenebrosas de nuestro pasado. La crítica ha dicho: «Un escritor que conjuga la erudición de un historiador, las fuentes de un periodista y la capacidad narrativa de un novelista». Juan Losa, Público «Una pequeña y brillante gran historia». Begoña Alonso, Elle «Una narración delicada [...] dentro de una Praga onírica». Il Libraio «Sin duda, en la mezcla de historia e intriga Massimi demuestra excepcionales dotes». El Imparcial «La solvente irrupción de Massimi viene a nutrir un subgénero propio de la novela negra, el nazi crime». El Periódico de España «Preciso, imaginativo y brillante». Donato Carrisi, Corriere della Sera «Un sutil hilo conductor que une Massimi a las novelas de Kafka y que, en sus relatos de la vida y de los sentimientos durante la formación del pangermanismo, vuelve a revivir a un pueblo muerto y a sus verdugos, recordándonos que no es la gente la que escribe la historia, sino quien sabe controlarla». Roma «Son las pequeñas historias las que hacen grande la historia, es la narración apasionada la que mantiene vivo el pasado». Domani «Un thriller que podría haber escrito Ken Follett».

Title: So Much Owed: An Irish World War 2 Story Author: Jean Grainger Narrator: Art Campion Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 37 minutes Release date: October 18, 2023 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An Irish country doctor is sickened by all he saw in the First World War. His children are now determined to fight in World War 2. How far can you stretch the ties that bind a family? In the turbulent and uncertain times of Ireland in 1919, the birth of two children revitalise a small town. Dr. Richard Buckley returns home to his wife and beloved hometown of Dunderrig, weary and heart-sick over the horror and pointlessness of The Great War. Soon, trouble is coming from all sides—Richard’s unhappy wife leaves Dunderrig, and a Nazi occupied Europe marches steadily closer to home. In the blink of an eye, the peace he’d craved and enjoyed since his days on the battlefield are gone. Meantime, James and Juliet come of age in a world on the brink of chaos, where the remnants of rebellion at home have snowballed into the horrors of yet another world war. Their father doesn’t see the twins choosing different paths—dangerous paths—that will test everything, including their love for their country, their family, and each other. Historically rich and moving, the tale of two children from the Irish countryside caught in the throes of wartime Europe is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and its willingness to endure.

Title: Teddy: A Novel Author: Emily Dunlay Narrator: Carlotta Brentan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 54 minutes Release date: July 2, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Good Morning America Buzz Pick “Effervescent and cool, Teddy is the perfect read if your trip to Capri gets canceled and your La Dolce Vita itch needs scratching.”—Washington Post Lessons in Chemistry meets Mad Men in this wildly entertaining debut novel set in glamorous Rome, which follows the free-spirited wife of an American diplomat as she desperately tries to contain a scandal of her own making. It is the summer of 1969 and Rome is awash with glamour and intrigue: the stars of Cinecittà are drinking and dancing along the paparazzo-lined Via Veneto, where royalty, American expats, and the occasional Russian spy rub shoulders. Teddy Huntley Carlyle has just arrived in Italy from Dallas, Texas, eager for a fresh start with her new husband, a diplomat assigned to the American embassy. After years of “spoiling like old milk,” in the words of her controlling, politically-minded uncle, Teddy vows to turn over a new leaf. She will be the soul of discretion; she will be conservative, proper, and polite. She will be her most beautiful, luminous self, wearing the right clothes and the perfect lipstick, and she will be good. She will charm her husband’s colleagues at the embassy, and no one will have a word to say against her. Teddy keeps her promise, more or less—until the Fourth of July, when her new life explodes as spectacularly as the colorful fireworks lighting the Roman sky over the embassy grounds. Now, Teddy is in the middle of a mess that even her powerful connections and impeccable manners can’t contain . . .

Title: An Unquiet Heart Author: Martin Sixsmith Narrator: Jamie Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 47 minutes Release date: May 23, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the bestselling author of Philomena comes a beautiful and heartbreaking tale about Sergei Yesenin, one of Russia’s most beloved poets. It vividly captures the extraordinary life of a man navigating love, loss and loneliness in the midst of the Russian Revolution.      Sergei Yesenin is a young poet, formed by childhood abandonment, set on becoming the most famous poet in Russia in a time of war, revolution and terror. A sensitive soul in a senseless time, searching for meaning through poetry, fame and passionate affairs with both women and men – until a meeting with the beautiful actress Zinaida Raikh changes everything.   ‘If thou art near, I’ll leave all behind, Renounce the world, the call of fame. All I need is to kiss your hand, your lips, And hear you call me by my name.’   His success will bring him to the Tsar’s family, to Rasputin, Trotsky and to the world’s most famous dancer, Isadora Duncan. He befriends other prominent poets and is revered by millions. Schoolchildren learn his verses by heart. Red Army soldiers carry them going into battle. Yuri Gagarin would later take them into space. But Yesenin’s obsession with fame is dangerous and destructive, for him, and for those who love him.   An Unquiet Heart is a magnificent insight into history, and into the life of a tender, troubled man. This is a story about the power of poetry in turbulent times, about triumph and tragedy and about how true love never fades.

My life is all of these things, and it is none of these things. They continue to miss what’s right in front of them. I love books. I love the sea. I love horses. Children. Art. Ideas. History.

Title: Hombrecito: A Novel Author: Santiago Jose Sanchez Narrator: André Santana Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND KIRKUS REVIEWS A novel by a brilliant new voice, Hombrecito is a queer coming-of-age story about a young immigrant’s complex relationships with his mother and his motherland In this groundbreaking novel, Santiago Jose Sanchez plunges us into the heart of one boy’s life. His mother takes him and his brother from Colombia to America, leaving their absent father behind but essentially disappearing herself once they get to Miami. In America, his mother works as a waitress when she was once a doctor. The boy embraces his queer identity as wholeheartedly as he embraces his new home, but not without a sense of loss. As he grows, his relationship with his mother becomes fraught, tangled, a love so intense that it borders on vivid pain but is also the axis around which his every decision revolves. She may have once forgotten him, disappeared, but she is always on his mind. He moves to New York, ducking in and out of bed with different men as he seeks out something, someone, to make him whole again. When his mother invites him to visit family in Colombia with her, he returns to the country as a young man, trying to find peace with his father, with his homeland, with who he’s become since he left, and with who his mother is: finally we come to know her and her secrets, her complex ambivalence and fierce love. Hombrecito—“little man”—is a moving portrait of a young person between cultures, between different ideas of himself. From an extraordinary new talent, this is a story told with startling beauty and intensity, a story for anyone searching for home, searching for a way to love.

Title: [Spanish] - Memorias de Hernán Author: Christian Duverger Narrator: José Manuel Rincón Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 27 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: «Mi querido Martín, la vida de un hombre es una suma; nada es vacuo, nada es vano, nada es accesorio. Cultiva dos cosas: la memoria y la voluntad.» Hernán Cortés toma la pluma nuevamente hacia el final de su vida. Esta vez no se dirige al emperador ni a un numeroso y anónimo lector, sino a su primogénito, Martín Cortés, hijo de la Malinche, para contarle su vida. Le habla de su infancia en Medellín, de sus días de estudiante en Salamanca y, por supuesto, de su llegada al Nuevo Mundo y de sus amores con doña Marina. Acompañamos a Martín en el descubrimiento de sus padres. Hallamos a una mujer dulce y determinada, arquitecta del México moderno. Encontramos a un conquistador victorioso que detesta la guerra y a un hombre poderoso que desconfía del poder, pues para él es sólo un medio para acceder a la libertad más plena. Cortés le confiesa a su hijo que ha sido muchos hombres, que tiene el alma vagabunda y que ama conquistar. Pero su conquista más grande no fue la de un territorio, sino la de la memoria. Gracias a su ingenio pudo salvar para la eternidad la crónica de su aventura por el Nuevo Mundo, y así dejó escrita, bajo el manto protector de un artificioso seudónimo, su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España. Con esta novela, el historiador Christian Duverger completa la desmitificación de Hernán Cortés. Rigurosamente basados en los archivos y las crónicas del siglo XVI, los hechos de esta autobiografía ficcional reflejan a un literato, a un hombre del Renacimiento absolutamente cautivado por el mundo indígena y, sobre todo, convencido de que el mestizaje era la clave para forjar una realidad mejor. Memorias de Hernán nos recuerda que, en ocasiones, sólo la ficción puede desentrañar la historia verdadera.

Title: Decline and Fall Author: Evelyn Waugh Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: “What an immature, self-destructive, antiquated mischief is man! How obscure and gross his prancing and chattering on his little stage of evolution! How loathsome and beyond words boring all the thoughts and self-approval of his biological by-product! this half-formed, ill-conditioned body! this erratic, maladjusted mechanism of his soul: on one side the harmonious instincts and balanced responses of the animal, on the other the inflexible purpose of the engine, and between them man, equally alien from the being of Nature and the doing of the machine, the vile becoming!” Evelyn Waugh’s first novel, Decline and Fall, is the daring and hilarious tale of Paul Pennyfeather, a theology student expelled from Oxford and sent to teach at a private boys’ school in Wales. Previously a modest young man, Paul finds himself a bit out of place amongst the teachers of Llanabba, who are all misfits, fools, and derelicts themselves: Prendy (the anxious) and Captain Grimes (the drunk), just to name two. There are not only failed men and rowdy boys in this Welsh town to occupy his time, however; Margot Beste-Chetwynde, the mother of one of his students, quickly becomes the object of Paul’s affections. But Margot may not be all she appears to, and Paul’s world is turned upside down all over again. With a title inspired both by Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West, Waugh’s Decline and Fall is a brilliant farce and a biting satire of English morals and school life of the 1920s and, by extension, of the experience of generations of so many students and educators since.
