Title: [German] - Bikergirl: Wie ich die Freiheit suchte und das Leben fand. Motorradabenteuer einer jungen Frau – Schicksal, Krankheit, Selbstfindung. Bekannt durch den Instagram-Account »Affe auf Bike« Author: Ann-Kathrin Bendixen Narrator: Dagny Dewath Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 21 minutes Release date: December 22, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Pure Freiheit. Eine Vorstellung, die viele fasziniert, aber die für die meisten ein unerfüllter Traum bleibt. In ihrem letzten Schuljahr konnte Ann-Kathrin Bendixen an nichts anderes mehr denken. Eine lebensbedrohliche Krankheit hatte ihr zwei Jahre ihres Lebens geraubt. Noch im Krankenhaus beschloss sie, nicht den herkömmlichen Weg zu gehen und nach dem Abitur ein Studium oder eine Ausbildung zu beginnen, sondern ihre alte Suzuki Bandit zu packen und auf einer Weltreise nach ihrer persönlichen Freiheit zu suchen. Bikergirl  erzählt die abenteuerliche Reise einer 19-Jährigen, die allein und ohne Geld mit ihrem Motorrad quer durch Europa fährt, neue Länder und Kulturen kennenlernt und allen Gefahren trotzt – denn diese gab es zuhauf. Ihr einziger Begleiter ist ihr Plüschaffe, der ihr in einsamen Momenten Trost spendet und bei großartigen Erlebnissen das Glück mit ihr teilt.

Title: Titanic (unabridged) Author: Filson Young Narrator: Will Huggins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 2 minutes Release date: July 2, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Published a mere 37 days after the tragedy, Filson Young's Titanic laid to rest public speculation and rumour with its firsthand account of the sinking of the great ship. For the first time since the Titanic left Southampton on April 10, 1912, the public had a full and detailed view of life on the ship, the events leading up to its collision with an iceberg late on April 14, its tragic sinking in the early hours of April 15, and the rescue of its survivors. Based on the accounts of survivors Young knew and interviewed personally, Titanic remains one of the most complete records of the sinking of the Titanic. The sinking of the Titanic in the frigid waters of the north Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912 is arguably the most famous peacetime maritime disaster of modern history, and one that continues to capture popular imagination a century later.

Title: Jew(ish): A primer, A memoir, A manual, A plea Author: Matt Greene Narrator: Matt Greene Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 58 minutes Release date: December 1, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: What does it mean to be Jew(ish) in 2020? Caught between tradition and modernity, between a Jewish family and a non-Jewish son, Matt Greene ponders the big questions concerning identity, religion, family and Seinfeld. When his son was born to a non-Jewish mother, Matt began to consider the upbringing he’d put behind him—the sense of not belonging, the forbidden foods, the holidays that felt more like punishments. There are more types of Jew than there are bagel fillings, and for every two there are three opinions. But if you’re not a black-hatted frummer, if you’re allergic to groups, if you observe but don’t believe, or you don’t observe at all, does that make you less Jewish? In this wide-ranging series of essays, at turns irreverent, insightful, urgent and iconoclastic, Matt considers what might loosely be termed ‘the modern Jewish experience’, and asks what it means to be anything in a world obsessed with the self and the other.

Title: The Greatest Escape: A gripping story of wartime courage and adventure Author: Neil Churches Narrator: Adam Fitzgerald Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 30 minutes Release date: May 26, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The gripping, vividly told story of the largest POW escape in the Second World War – organized by an Australian bank clerk, a British jazz pianist and an American spy. In August 1944 the most successful POW escape of the Second World War took place – 106 Allied prisoners were freed from a camp in Maribor, in present–day Slovenia. The escape was organized not by officers, but by two ordinary soldiers: Australian Ralph Churches (a bank clerk before the war) and Londoner Les Laws (a jazz pianist by profession), with the help of intelligence officer Franklin Lindsay. The American was on a mission to work with the partisans who moved like ghosts through the Alps, ambushing and evading Nazi forces. How these three men came together – along with the partisans – to plan and execute the escape is told here for the first time. The Greatest Escape, written by Ralph Churches' son Neil, takes us from Ralph and Les’s capture in Greece in 1941 and their brutal journey to Maribor, with many POWs dying along the way, to the horror of seeing Russian prisoners starved to death in the camp. The book uncovers the hidden story of Allied intelligence operations in Slovenia, and shows how Ralph became involved. We follow the escapees on a nail–biting 160–mile journey across the Alps, pursued by German soldiers, ambushed and betrayed. And yet, of the 106 men who escaped, 100 made it to safety. Thanks to research across seven countries, The Greatest Escape is no longer a secret. It is one of the most remarkable adventure stories of the last century.

Title: Code Gray: Death, Life, and Uncertainty in the ER Author: Farzon A Nahvi Narrator: Farzon A Nahvi, Aden Hakimi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A powerful, compelling firsthand account of the moral and ethical questions ER doctors face even as they scramble to diagnose patients on the brink of death. Code Gray​ is the riveting story of a seemingly healthy forty-three-year-old woman who arrives in the ER in sudden cardiac arrest. The cause of her condition is unknown, and as the ER team tries desperately to revive her, they cannot seem to find why her heart stopped. Eventually the cause is discovered—too late to save her—and it raises an unexpected ethical concern for Dr. Nahvi and the woman’s husband. With this narrative as background, Dr. Nahvi shares other stories of moral and ethical challenges, among them an elderly woman and her adult daughter who each want to enlist him in a conspiracy to shield the other from knowledge of the mother’s terminal cancer diagnosis. Dr. Nahvi worked in two of New York’s most heavily impacted ER’s in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. He describes the frantic exchange of information among the city’s ER doctors as they collectively encountered an illness none of them had ever seen before. Ranging from the Covid outbreak to the perennial glaring inequities in healthcare that it highlighted, Code Gray is a beautifully written, heartfelt memoir that will appeal to readers of Atul Gawande and Siddhartha Mukherjee.

Title: Making History: The Storytellers Who Shaped the Past Author: Richard Cohen Narrator: Richard Cohen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 8 minutes Release date: April 19, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A “supremely entertaining” (The New Yorker) exploration of who gets to record the world’s history—from Julius Caesar to William Shakespeare to Ken Burns—and how their biases influence our understanding about the past. There are many stories we can spin about previous ages, but which accounts get told? And by whom? Is there even such a thing as “objective” history? In this “witty, wise, and elegant” (The Spectator), book, Richard Cohen reveals how professional historians and other equally significant witnesses, such as the writers of the Bible, novelists, and political propagandists, influence what becomes the accepted record. Cohen argues, for example, that some historians are practitioners of “Bad History” and twist reality to glorify themselves or their country. “Scholarly, lively, quotable, up-to-date, and fun” (Hilary Mantel, author of the bestselling Thomas Cromwell trilogy), Making History investigates the published works and private utterances of our greatest chroniclers to discover the agendas that informed their—and our—views of the world. From the origins of history writing, when such an activity itself seemed revolutionary, through to television and the digital age, Cohen brings captivating figures to vivid light, from Thucydides and Tacitus to Voltaire and Gibbon, Winston Churchill and Henry Louis Gates. Rich in complex truths and surprising anecdotes, the result is a revealing exploration of both the aims and art of history-making, one that will lead us to rethink how we learn about our past and about ourselves.

With one son destined to be King and one needing to find his own way, she taught them lessons about royal tradition and also real life. 'William and Harry will be properly prepared,' Diana once promised. 'I am making sure of this.' Even after her tragic death, the strength of her love for her sons remains an enduring inspiration, not only for the two princes, but for the entire world. © James Patterson 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 James Patterson Mon, 15 Aug 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559012 thebookvoice.com 10:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/559012]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Voyager Author: Nona Fernández Narrator: Nona Fernández Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 23, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Tomando como punto de partida algunos recuerdos de su madre, que en la pantalla de un escáner cerebral 'evocan un paisaje astral', Nona Fernández construye lo que ella misma ha llamado una 'constelación de materiales'. Lo hace a través de la memoria personal, familiar y colectiva, la memoria de un país, y también echando mano del documento, de aquello que consigue iluminar el olvido. Acaso del mismo modo en que, al cabo de tantos años, nos alcanza la luz de las estrellas. Como a menudo ocurre con la justicia. En este primer ensayo de la autora se cifra, pues, el modo en que escribimos la historia, cómo y desde dónde, y la potencia política del recuerdo y de lo que hacemos con él, de su narrativa. 'En Voyager conviven lo grande y lo pequeño en igualdad de condiciones: ya se trate de la evolución del cerebro humano o de los problemas neurológicos de una anciana, de la vida del Sol o del discurso inconformista de un adolescente invitado a conmemorar —'sin abrir heridas'— el aniversario del plebiscito que terminó con la dictadura de Pinochet. Nona Fernández vuelve una y otra vez a ese periodo no para instalarse en el pasado sino para revelar el modo en que su luz sigue guiando nuestro presente.'—Javier Rodríguez Marcos, El País Nona Fernández Wed, 23 Mar 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/558653 thebookvoice.com 2:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/558653]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - El trabajo de los ojos Author: Mercedes Halfon Narrator: Mara Brenner Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 20 minutes Release date: June 22, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 'Un libro maravilloso que atenta contra los saberes rotundos y objetivos.'—Carlos Pardo, El País El trabajo de los ojos es un libro fragmentario, hermoso e inclasificable sobre la mirada. Con un estilo elegante y depurado, Mercedes Halfon nos habla de la forma en que sus problemas de visión determinaron una cierta manera de acercarse al mundo y cómo eso ha condicionado su escritura. Construido a base de escenas breves y heterogéneas, siempre reveladoras, la autora examina su propia mirada, como en una oftalmología de la conciencia, una delicada autobiografía ocular. Así, las visitas a la consulta del oculista se entremezclan con los recuerdos infantiles, las historias familiares con la omnipresencia de los ojos y la visión en la cultura universal. Un texto de extraña belleza que se desmarca de los géneros y puede ser leído como memoria, autoficción o ensayo literario. 'Un objeto inclasificable que exhibe a la vez la condición de pequeño y poderoso en sugestión o saltos mortales.'—Elvio Gandolfo 'Solo en primera persona se puede escribir un libro así, y si uno tuviera que recordar una sola cosa de este libro, lo que persiste es justamente ese tono, al mismo tiempo elegante e incisivo.'—Mauro Libertella 'El trabajo de los ojos es un libro hipnótico que comienza cuando la mujer que escribe da cuenta de la muerte de su oculista. El hombre que la ayudaba a ver. El relato, como hilo conductor de la enfermedad visual, bucea en la «enfermedad espiritual». Siguiendo a Montaigne: «toda enfermedad es primero una enfermedad del alma». Ya sin su oculista, la mujer narra, se emancipa escribiendo.'—Fabián Casas Mercedes Halfon Wed, 22 Jun 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/558644 thebookvoice.com 1:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/558644]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Diary Keepers: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times – World War II in the Netherlands, as Written by the People Who Lived Through It Author: Nina Siegal Narrator: Steven Jay, Nan Mcnamara, Mike Ortego, Rob Shapiro, Robert Petkoff, Catherine Taber, Maggie-Meg Reed, Jim Meskimen, Jenna Lamia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 6 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Based on select writings from an exceptional Amsterdam archive containing more than two thousand Dutch diaries from World War II, The Diary Keepers illuminates a part of history we haven’t seen in quite this way before. This audiobook is read by Nina Siegal, Maggi-Meg Reed, Nan McNamara, Catherine Taber, Jenna Lamia, Rob Shapiro, Mike Ortego, Robert Petkoff, Steven Jay Cohen and Jim Meskimen Nina Siegal, an accomplished journalist and novelist, weaves together excerpts from the daily journals of collaborators, resistors, and the persecuted—a Dutch Nazi police detective, a Jewish journalist imprisoned at Westerbork transit camp, a grocery store owner who saved dozens of lives—into a braided nonfictional narrative of the Nazi occupation and the Dutch Holocaust, as individuals experienced it day by day. Siegal provides the context, both historical and personal, while she tries to make sense of her own relationship to this past. As a “second-generation survivor” born and raised in New York, she attempts to understand what it meant for her mother and maternal grandparents to live through the war in Europe in those times. When Siegal moved to Amsterdam, those questions came up again, as did another horrifying one: Why did 75 percent of the Dutch Jewish community perish in the war, while in other Western European countries the proportions were significantly lower? How did this square with the narratives of Dutch resistance she had heard so much about, and in what way did it relate to the famed Dutch tolerance? Searching and singular, The Diary Keepers takes us into the lives of seven diary writers and follows their pasts into the present, through interviews with those who preserved and inherited these diaries. Along the way, Siegal investigates the nature of memory and how the traumatic past is rewritten again and again.

Title: The Oaken Heart Author: Margery Allingham Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 24 minutes Release date: October 26, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Margery Allingham, already a successful crime writer, was living quietly in the Essex village of Tolleshunt D'Arcy ('Auburn') when the Second World War broke out. Her house became an Air Raid Wardens' post and a First Aid centre, and Allingham herself became responsible for 275 East London evacuees in a rural community of just over 600. Commissioned by American publishing friends to recount what life was like, she began The Oaken Heart in the autumn of 1940, when the Battle of Britain gave way to the London Blitz. Bombs fell, even on the Essex countryside, and a German invasion was fully expected. She conceived her work as an honest letter to America. Places were given fictional names but otherwise she told it like it was, whether funny or painful. Unsentimental yet personal and rich in detail, this is an evocative first-hand account of day-to-day realities in a small community upended and terrified of the future - like so many villages of the time.

Title: We Share the Same Sky: A Memoir of Memory & Migration Author: Rachael Cerrotti Narrator: Rachael Cerrotti Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.06 of Total 34 Ratings of Narrator: 4.06 of Total 16 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In 2009, Rachael Cerrotti, a college student pursuing a career in photojournalism, asked her grandmother, Hana, if she could record her story. Rachael knew that her grandmother was a Holocaust survivor and the only one in her family alive at the end of the war. Rachael also knew that she survived because of the kindness of strangers. It wasn’t a secret. Hana spoke about her history publicly and regularly. But, Rachael wanted to document it as only a granddaughter could. So, that’s what they did: Hana talked and Rachael wrote. Upon Hana’s passing in 2010, Rachael discovered an incredible archive of her life. There were preserved albums and hundreds of photographs dating back to the 1920s. There were letters waiting to be translated, journals, diaries, deportation and immigration papers as well as creative writings from various stages of Hana’s life. Rachael digitized and organized it all, plucking it from the past and placing it into her present. Then, she began retracing her grandmother’s story, following her through Central Europe, Scandinavia, and across the United States. She tracked down the descendants of those who helped save her grandmother’s life during the war. Rachael went in pursuit of her grandmother’s memory to explore how the retelling of family stories becomes the history itself. We Share the Same Sky weaves together the stories of these two young women—Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and Rachael, whose insatiable curiosity to touch the past guides her into the lives of countless strangers, bringing her love and tragic loss. Throughout the course of her twenties, Hana’s history becomes a guidebook for Rachael in how to live a life empowered by grief.

Title: The Quintessential Good Samaritan: The Authorized Biography of John Joseph Kelly, Champion of Social Justice Author: Thomas Huening Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 16 minutes Release date: January 18, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: John Joseph Kelly—the quintessential Good Samaritan—changed the lives of thousands of people in need, first as a devoted Catholic priest; then as a champion of the poor and a father figure to troubled minority youth; and finally, as a one-on-one mentor offering hope and guidance to hardcore San Quentin inmates. Kelly was a spiritual superstar and a role model for anyone who truly desired to make a difference in their own community. When he died in 2019 at age ninety, thousands who knew him recalled the credo that marked his life: 'We need to take what God has given us, discover it, and use it for justice and good.' Father Kelly did exactly this when he traded his Catholic collar for a work shirt in 1979. He dropped his cassock in dramatic fashion after his final mass to pursue 'justice and good' for the next forty years. Kelly showed the courage of his convictions when he struggled with Church bureaucracy, hypocrisy, internal politics, silk vestments, and processions, ultimately deciding he could help more people by being less faithful to Catholic dogma, and do more as a lay person devoted to the teachings of Jesus, Muhammad, and Krishna. Kelly then dedicated his life to inspiring others to become instrumental in helping thousands of people—many of them homeless—who were hungry and needed food, shelter, and adequate clothing.

Title: While I Remember Author: Becky Grubbs Ritter Narrator: Becky Grubbs Ritter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 23 minutes Release date: November 5, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: This is the true story of some who have lived; heroes and failures, resourceful and talented, delightful and disappointing human beings whose 'days are like grass, flourishing like a flower in the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone; its place is remembered no more.'' But while I still can, I will remember. The tale is told in three parts intertwined with amusing and heart-breaking stories, peppered with historical references. Part One: Those Who Came Before includes ancestors who: entertained on a riverboat during the Civil War, played piano during silent movies, taught in a one room schoolhouse, delivered milk to front porches in a horse drawn wagon, participated in dance marathons during the Great Depression, and served as a fighter pilot in World War II. Part Two: Childhood to Car Keys begins with baby boomers (the author being one) and the construction building boom of the early 1950's, wrestlers competing for the Olympics in Rome, middle class families with big dreams and a built-in swimming pool, Kennedy's assassination, Teen Town at the Y, race riots in the summer of 67', the first draft lottery for the Viet Name War, and the author gets her car keys. Part Three: Self Determination involves: negotiating a changing world, a family collapse, drug culture, 1970s traveling Show Band, unrequited love, searching for truth, searching for truth in Florida, singing in a trio, finding God, losing God, playing in a piano bar, waiting tables, alcohol consumption, continuing to search for God, 'naming it and claiming it,' 'Jesus Freaks,' and finding a life. About the Author: Becky Grubbs Ritter is a lover of books, history, and learning. She is a maker of things, a musician, singer, and burgeoning author. At the core she is wife, mother, grandmother, and “post-evangelical” Christian…just another flower flourishing in the field and feeling the wind blow.

Title: What We Wish Were True: Reflections on Nurturing Life and Facing Death Author: Tallu Schuyler Quinn Narrator: Tallu Schuyler Quinn, Allyson Ryan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 19, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Facing death is the hardest thing of all, and Tallu Quinn faces hers in a way that broke and healed my heart. This book is a beautiful tribute to life, to truth, and to love.”—Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed Profound essays on nurturing life while facing a terminal diagnosis, from the dedicated humanitarian and young mother creating “a vibrant legacy for us to hold on to and learn from” (Ann Patchett) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Kirkus Reviews “I am holding both my hope and my grief together in the same hands. It is a loose hold, looser than I am accustomed to. My love is so much bigger than me.” Nonprofit leader and minister Tallu Schuyler Quinn spent her adult life working to alleviate hunger, systemic inequality, and food waste, first as a volunteer throughout the United States and abroad, and then as the founder of the Nashville Food Project, where she supported the vibrant community work of local food justice in Middle Tennessee. That all changed just after her fortieth birthday, when she was diagnosed with stage IV glioblastoma, an aggressive form of terminal brain cancer. In What We Wish Were True, Quinn achingly grapples with the possibility of leaving behind the husband and children she adores, and what it means to live with a terminal diagnosis and still find meaning. “I think about how my purpose may be the same in death as it continues to be in life—surrendering to the hope that our weaknesses can be made strong, that what is broken can be made whole,” she writes. Through gorgeous prose, Quinn masterfully weaves together the themes of life and death by integrating spiritually nourishing stories about family, identity, vocational call, beloved community, God’s wide welcome, and living with brain cancer. Taken together, these stunning essays are a piercing reminder to cherish each moment, whether heartbreaking or hilarious, and cast loose other concerns. As a mother, a kindred spirit, and a dear friend, Tallu Schuyler Quinn looks into our eyes with well-earned tears in her own and tells us the bittersweet truth: We are all searching for what has already found us—present and boundless love. This love will deliver us and never let us go.

Title: Makeup Tips From Auchwitz: How Vanity Saved My Mother's Life Author: Tommy Schnurmacher Narrator: Tommy Schnurmacher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 25, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Written by a second-generation child of survivors, it is the story of a Hungarian Jewish refugee family's cultural collision and delightful dysfunction. With the growing pains of Shtisel, the earthiness of The Simpsons and the fierce family loyalty of The Sopranos, it tells the story of newcomers who defy authority. Exploring the souls of a family for all to see, the memoir by an award-winning Montreal broadcaster is an addictive page-turner. Like the Oscar-winning film, Life is Beautiful, it revisits the Holocaust with rays of light in the darkness. Set in Montreal with side trips to New York City, the Academy Awards in Los Angeles, and the Cannes film festival, it has a lyrical cadence of its own as well as an unsettling candor reminiscent of humorist David Sedaris and essayist Augusten Burroughs. As you hear the stories of this dynamic mother and son duo, you get to laugh out loud at the antics of an eccentric psychologist and a superstitious hypochondriac named Paris. You will even find out how the author managed to avoid a war over the lyrics to 'Give Peace a Chance.'

With the growing pains of Shtisel, the earthiness of The Simpsons and the fierce family loyalty of The Sopranos, it tells the story of newcomers who defy authority. Exploring the souls of a family for all to see, the memoir by an award-winning Montreal broadcaster is an addictive page-turner. Like the Oscar-winning film, Life is Beautiful, it revisits the Holocaust with rays of light in the darkness. Set in Montreal with side trips to New York City, the Academy Awards in Los Angeles, and the Cannes film festival, it has a lyrical cadence of its own as well as an unsettling candor reminiscent of humorist David Sedaris and essayist Augusten Burroughs. As you hear the stories of this dynamic mother and son duo, you get to laugh out loud at the antics of an eccentric psychologist and a superstitious hypochondriac named Paris. You will even find out how the author managed to avoid a war over the lyrics to 'Give Peace a Chance.' Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/557601]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: May Tomorrow Be Awake: On Poetry, Autism, and Our Neurodiverse Future Author: Chris Martin Narrator: Kaleo Griffith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 52 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An author and educator’s pioneering approach to helping autistic students find their voices through poetry—a powerful and uplifting story that shows us how to better communicate with people on the spectrum and explores how we use language to express our seemingly limitless interior lives. Adults often find it difficult to communicate with autistic students and try to “fix” them. But what if we found a way to help these kids use their natural gifts to convey their thoughts and feelings? What if the traditional structure of language prevents them from communicating the full depth of their experiences? What if the most effective and most immediate way for people on the spectrum to express themselves is through verse, which mirrors their sensory-rich experiences and patterned thoughts? May Tomorrow Be Awake explores these questions and opens our eyes to a world of possibility. It is the inspiring story of one educator’s journey to understand and communicate with his students—and the profound lessons he learned. Chris Martin, an award-winning poet and celebrated educator, works with non-verbal children and adults on the spectrum, teaching them to write poetry. The results have been nothing short of staggering for both these students and their teacher. Through his student’s breathtaking poems, Martin discovered what it means to be fully human. Martin introduces the techniques he uses in the classroom and celebrates an inspiring group of young autistic thinkers—Mark, Christophe, Zach, and Wallace—and their electric verse, which is as artistically dazzling as it is stereotype-shattering. In telling each of their stories, Martin illuminates the diverse range of autism and illustrates how each so-called “deficit” can be transformed into an asset when writing poems. Meeting these remarkable students offers new insight into disability advocacy and reaffirms the depth of our shared humanity.  Martin is a teacher and a lifelong learner, May Tomorrow Be Awake is written from a desire to teach and to learn—about the mind, about language, about human potential—and the lessons we have to share with one other.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: Hitler's Boy Soldiers: How My Father's Generation Was Trained to Kill and Sent to Die for Germany Author: Helene Munson Narrator: Caitlin Cavannaugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 56 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Helene Munson resurrects her father’s WWII journals and embarks on a meticulous investigation, exposing how the Nazis trained 300,000 impressionable children as soldiers. In 1937, Munson’s father, Hans, was enrolled in an elite German school whose students were destined to take leadership roles in the Reich. At fifteen, he was drafted as an antiaircraft gunner—along with the rest of the Hitler Youth—and assigned to an SS unit. As the war was being lost, Hans and his schoolmates were ordered to the front lines. Few returned. A personal lens into a nation’s shameful past, Hitler’s Boy Soldiers documents the history of the largest army of child soldiers in recent memory. Munson explores the lifelong effects on brainwashed children coerced to join a party they didn’t understand. Both a modern narrative and an important historical contribution, Hitler’s Boy Soldiers grapples with inherited trauma, the nature of being victim or perpetrator, and the burden of guilt.

Title: The Chief: The Life of Lord Northcliffe Britain's Greatest Press Baron Author: Andrew Roberts Narrator: Gareth Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 42 minutes Release date: August 18, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 'Superb...his pages fizz with character and colour' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times 'Scholarly and very readable' Andrew Lycett, Spectator 'Energetic and hugely entertaining' A.N.Wilson, TLS The definitive biography of Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe, the first and greatest press magnate in history and the genius who invented modern popular journalism. The turn of the century was a period when the world was opening up in new and exciting ways – radio, telegrams, the advent of flight. With literacy and the right to vote extending across an ever-expanding populace, politics and journalism were embarking on a power struggle that continues unabated to this day. Lord Northcliffe rose to the challenges of this new world by employing cutting-edge technology, upending the outdated mores of traditional journalism and radically reshaping the very concept of ‘news’. He was a tough and uncompromising businessman, frequently levelled with charges of megalomania, but in The Chief Andrew Roberts puts Northcliffe’s ruthlessness in the context of a life of visionary business skill, journalistic brilliance, distinguished wartime public service and heartfelt patriotism. The man was, undoubtedly, a genius – albeit a flawed one. From a modest background, growing up on the outskirts of Dublin, by twenty-seven he presided over a magazine empire with the largest circulation in the world. By the time of his tragically early death in 1922, Northcliffe had founded the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, and had also owned The Times and the Observer. At one point he owned two thirds of all the titles on Fleet Street. Based on exclusive access to the Harmsworth family archive, The Chief charts Lord Northcliffe’s rise to power and his highly controversial influence in a politically critical period. His influence still resonates today both through his remarkable business innovations and in the way we consume our news and politics.

Title: Brown Boy: A Memoir Author: Omer Aziz Narrator: Omer Aziz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Aziz's story is a story that is common to many but one that is rarely told. It is the story of growing up the child of immigrants and trying to progress in a society where the realities of racism and xenophobia are all too obvious. It gives voice to the experience of finding oneself caught between worlds and the concomitant feelings of shame, insecurity and powerlessness that this can engender. As he describes it, he found himself ‘a hyphenated man’ struggling to create an identity that fused East and West. Brown Boy is a hugely important and desperately needed book, which asks the most important questions and answers them in a way that is sometimes uncomfortable but always incredibly stimulating. Like Richard Wright's Black Boy, from which it draws inspiration, Brown Boy will be read for years to come. It is an enormously significant contribution to the contemporary debate around race and identity, and a work of deep literary sensitivity that will stand the test of time.

Title: [Spanish] - Isabel II: Una biografía (1830-1904) Author: Isabel Burdiel Narrator: Silvia García Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 34 hours 24 minutes Release date: November 18, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Premio Nacional de Historia 2011 Luces y sombras de la monarquía en uno de los periodos más convulsos de la historia de España. La llegada al trono de Isabel II, cuando aún era una niña, suscitó una guerra civil y abrió el camino para la ruptura liberal con el absolutismo. Reinó bajo la larga sombra de una madre poderosa que la despreciaba, de un marido que la odiaba y de unos partidos liberales que, incapaces de entenderse entre ellos, trataron de manipularla en beneficio propio. Su concepción del poder monárquico, netamente patrimonial, fue de la mano de la inadecuación de su comportamiento personal a los valores de la sociedad burguesa. Sin embargo, la extraordinaria capacidad de desestabilización política y moral de la reina no fue la causa última de la falta de consenso del liberalismo isabelino sino su mejor exponente. Las relaciones entre la monarquía y el liberalismo decimonónico eran difíciles tanto en España como en la Europa posrevolucionaria. Este libro analiza, como nunca antes se ha hecho, la forma específica que adoptó esa tensión durante el reinado de Isabel II, un periodo fundamental de cuyos logros y limitaciones dependió, en muy buena medida, la posición de la monarquía en el régimen liberal hasta la II República. La biografía de Isabel II permite una amplia reflexión sobre el papel de la Corona e introduce nuevos elementos para el debate político actual sobre ésta, en España y en Europa.

Title: Saving Freud: The Rescuers Who Brought Him to Freedom Author: Andrew Nagorski Narrator: Michael David Axtell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 23, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A dramatic true story about Sigmund Freud’s last-minute escape to London following the German annexation of Austria and the group of friends who made it possible. In March 1938, German soldiers crossed the border into Austria and Hitler absorbed the country into the Third Reich. Anticipating these events, many Jews had fled Austria, but the most famous Austrian Jew remained in Vienna, where he had lived since early childhood. Sigmund Freud was eighty-one years old, ill with cancer, and still unconvinced that his life was in danger. But several prominent people close to Freud thought otherwise, and they began a coordinated effort to persuade Freud to leave his beloved Vienna and emigrate to England. The group included a Welsh physician, Napoleon’s great-grandniece, an American ambassador, Freud’s devoted youngest daughter Anna and his personal doctor. Saving Freud is the story of how this remarkable collection of people finally succeeded in coaxing Freud, a man who seemingly knew the human mind better than anyone else, to emerge from his deep state of denial about the looming catastrophe, allowing them to extricate him and his family from Austria so that they could settle in London. There Freud would live out the remaining sixteen months of his life in freedom. It is “an insight-filled group portrait of the founder of psychoanalysis and his followers…Compelling reading” (The Wall Street Journal).

Title: Defiant Brides: The Untold Story of Two Revolutionary-Era Women and the Radical Men They Married Author: Nancy Rubin Stuart Narrator: Ann M. Richardson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: April 12, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Get a “fresh perspective on the American Revolution” as an award-winning author reveals the true story of two young women who defied their Loyalist families to marry radical patriots, Henry Knox and Benedict Arnold (Shelf Awareness). When Peggy Shippen, the celebrated blonde belle of Philadelphia, married American military hero Benedict Arnold in 1779, she anticipated a life of fame and fortune, but financial debts and political intrigues prompted her to conspire with her treasonous husband against George Washington and the American Revolution. In spite of her commendable efforts to rehabilitate her husband’s name, Peggy Shippen continues to be remembered as a traitor bride. Peggy’s patriotic counterpart was Lucy Flucker, the spirited and voluptuous brunette, who in 1774 defied her wealthy Tory parents by marrying a poor Boston bookbinder simply for love. When her husband, Henry Knox, later became a famous general in the American Revolutionary War, Lucy faithfully followed him through Washington’s army camps where she birthed and lost babies, befriended Martha Washington, was praised for her social skills, and secured her legacy as an admired patriot wife. And yet, as esteemed biographer Nancy Rubin Stuart reveals, a closer look at the lives of both spirited women reveals that neither was simply a “traitor” or “patriot.” In Defiant Brides, the first dual biography of both Peggy Shippen Arnold and Lucy Flucker Knox, Stuart has crafted a rich portrait of two rebellious women who defied expectations and struggled—publicly and privately—in a volatile political moment in early America. Drawing from never-before-published correspondence, Stuart traces the evolution of these women from passionate teenage brides to mature matrons, bringing both women from the sidelines of history to its vital center. Readers will be enthralled by Stuart’s dramatic account of the epic lives of these defiant brides, which begin with romance, are complicated by politics, and involve spies, disappointments, heroic deeds, tragedies, and personal triumphs.

Title: [Spanish] - Pequeño elogio de la fuga del mundo: De Petrarca a Pascal Quignard Author: Rémy Oudghiri, Ana Nuño (translator) Narrator: Germán Gijón Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 40 minutes Release date: July 6, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: ¿Quién no ha sentido, al menos una vez en la vida, el deseo de alejarse del mundo? ¿Quién no ha soñado con dejarlo todo y desaparecer? La tentación de la huida, el motivo de la fuga mundi, es recurrente en nuestra cultura porque permanece vivo a lo largo de la historia, y siempre provoca una mezcla de fascinación, nostalgia y callado remordimiento. Para seguir su rastro, de la huida al desierto predicada en el siglo IV por el eremitismo cristiano al exaltado elogio de la evasión entonado por los hippies de la década de 1960, el sociólogo Rémy Oudghiri se ha deshecho de las herramientas habituales de su oficio –estudios, encuestas y esta- dísticas– para dejarse guiar por una docena de libros y autores, de Petrarca a Rousseau, de Flaubert a Tolstói, de Simenon y Emmanuel Bové a Le Clézio y Pascal Quignard. Porque la literatura abarca todos los registros, de la emoción a la razón, y no desdeña ningún método, de la introspección a la descripción, el relato o la poesía, el realismo o la ficción. Y porque los escritores no están constreñidos por protocolos rigoristas y se atreven a explorar territorios desconocidos e inciertos. Este pequeño gran libro es una invitación a tratar de comprender mejor en qué reside la irresistible atracción que produce el gesto de ruptura con el mundo, y descubrir, bajo sus diferentes máscaras, este secreto, sorprendente y paradójico: que huir del mundo es otra manera de iniciarse en él verdaderamente.

Title: Against the Ice: The Classic Arctic Survival Story Author: Ejnar Mikkelsen Narrator: Tristan Wright Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 17 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Now a major Netflix film co-written by and starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) The harrowing, amazing, and often amusing personal account of two mismatched Arctic explorers who banded together to keep themselves sane on an historic expedition gone horribly wrong Ejnar Mikkelsen was devoted to Arctic exploration. In 1910 he decided to search for the diaries of the ill-fated Mylius-Erichsen expedition, which had set out to prove that Robert Peary’s outline of the East Greenland coast was a myth, erroneous and presumably self-serving. Iver Iversen was a mechanic who joined Mikkelsen in Iceland when the expedition’s boat needed repair. Several months later, Mikkelsen and Iversen embarked on an incredible journey during which they would suffer every imaginable Arctic travail: implacable cold, scurvy, starvation, frostbite, snow blindness, plunges into icy seawater, impossible sledding conditions, Vitamin A poisoning, debilitated dogs, apocalyptic storms, gaping crevasses, and assorted mortifications of the flesh. Mikkelsen’s diary was even eaten by a bear. Three years of this, coupled with seemingly no hope of rescue, would drive most crazy, yet the two retained both their sanity as well as their humor. Indeed, what may have saved them was their refusal to become as desolate as their surroundings… Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who co-adapted the book into a screenplay, provides the foreword to this new edition of the classic exploration memoir, which was one of The Explorer's Club’s 100 Best Books of the 20th Century. Originally published as Two Against the Ice: A Classic Arctic Survival Story and a Remarkable Account of Companionship in the Face of Adversity. Translated from the Danish by Maurice Michael.

Indeed, what may have saved them was their refusal to become as desolate as their surroundings… Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who co-adapted the book into a screenplay, provides the foreword to this new edition of the classic exploration memoir, which was one of The Explorer's Club’s 100 Best Books of the 20th Century. Originally published as Two Against the Ice: A Classic Arctic Survival Story and a Remarkable Account of Companionship in the Face of Adversity. Translated from the Danish by Maurice Michael. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/555118 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/555118]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Lion House: The Rise of Suleyman the Magnificent Author: Christopher De Bellaigue Narrator: Barnaby Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 1 minute Release date: March 3, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Venice, 1522. Intelligence arrives from the east confirming Europe's greatest fear: the vastly rich Ottoman Sultan has all he needs to wage total war - and his sights are set on Rome. With Christendom divided, Suleyman the Magnificent has his hand on its throat. From the palaces of Istanbul to the blood-soaked fields of central Europe and the scorched coasts of north Africa, The Lion House pioneers a bold new style of eye-witness history to tell a true story of power at its most glittering, personal and perilous: Suleyman's rise to become the most feared and powerful man of the sixteenth century. It is a journey built on brutal choices and intimate relationships - with the Greek slave who becomes his closest friend, the Venetian plutocrat who sells him gems and wins him allies, the Russian consort who steals his heart. Within a decade, Suleyman has mastery over millions of souls, from Baghdad to the walls of Vienna, while his pirate admiral Barbarossa dominates the Mediterranean. And yet the real drama takes place in small rooms and whispered conversations: as the Sultan exchanges love letters with his own vizier; as he awakes in terror after dreaming of his own assassination. The Lion House is not just the story of two civilisations in an existential duel and of one of the most consequential lives in world history. It is a tale of the timeless pull of power, dangerous to live with, deadly to live without. © Christopher de Bellaigue 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Christopher De Bellaigue Thu, 03 Mar 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/555118 thebookvoice.com 9:1:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/555118]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Never Will I Die: The inspiring Special Forces soldier who cheated death and learned to live again Author: Michael Calvin, Toby Gutteridge Narrator: Matt Chambers, Toby Gutteridge Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. There's no pain, no theatrical agony. No screaming, no shouting. The kill shot is catastrophic, yet surgically precise. I slumped silently on to my knees and toppled forward, head first, into the dirt. The lads had seen enough death to assume mine was instantaneous. The lights were out. That's him gone. Toby Gutteridge was only 24 when he was shot through the neck while operating behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. He survived despite not breathing for at least 20 minutes. Back in the UK, doctors recommended that his life support machine be switched off, but with the defiant spirit that would define his recovery, Toby pulled through. Now quadriplegic, capable of movement only with his head, Toby has rebuilt his life. His is an extraordinary story of survival against overwhelming odds, and of the power of the human spirit to overcome extreme adversity. Brutally honest and authentic, he builds a compelling picture of the type of person produced by the Special Forces system, and tells of how one split second changed the course of his life forever. Powerful and inspiring, Never Will I Die is a universal story about our search for purpose, and explores what extreme experience teaches us about what truly matters. © Toby Gutteridge 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022 Michael Calvin, Toby Gutteridge Thu, 01 Sep 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/555113 thebookvoice.com 8:17:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/555113]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Way Out of No Way: A Memoir of Truth, Transformation, and the New American Story Author: Raphael G. Warnock Narrator: Raphael G. Warnock Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 6 minutes Release date: June 14, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: On the heels of his historic election to the United States Senate, Raphael G. Warnock shares his remarkable spiritual and personal journey. “Sparkling… a narrative of an extraordinary life, from impoverished beginnings in Savannah to his arrival on Capitol Hill. Along the way, he reflects with considerable candor and insight on the meaning and importance of faith, truth-telling and political and social redemption.”—The New York Times Book Review “A compelling, insightful memoir that details an extraordinary journey.” —Bryan Stevenson Senator Reverend Raphael G. Warnock occupies a singular place in American life. As senior pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, and now as a senator from Georgia, he is the rare voice who can call out the uncomfortable truths that shape contemporary American life and, at a time of division, summon us all to a higher moral ground.   Senator Warnock grew up in the Kayton Homes housing projects in Savannah, the eleventh of twelve children. His dad was a World War II veteran, and as a teenager his mom picked tobacco and cotton in rural Georgia. Both were Pentecostal preachers. After graduating from Morehouse College, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s alma mater, Senator Warnock studied for a decade at Union Theological Seminary while serving at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church. At thirty-five, he became the senior pastor at Ebenezer, where Dr. King had preached and served.   In January 2021, Senator Warnock won a runoff election that flipped control of the Senate at one of the most pivotal moments in recent American history. He is the first Black senator from Georgia, only the eleventh Black senator in American history, and just the second Black senator from the South since Reconstruction. As he said in his maiden speech from the well of the senate, Senator Warnock’s improbable journey reflects the ongoing toggle between the pain and promise of the American story.   A powerful preacher and a leading voice for voting rights and democracy, Senator Warnock has a once-in-a-generation gift to inspire and lead us forward. A Way Out of No Way tells his remarkable story for the first time. Raphael G.

Title: Bing Crosby: Swinging on a Star; The War Years, 1940–1946 Author: Gary Giddins Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 24 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In this companion book to the award–winning biography Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams; The Early Years, 1903–1940, Gary Giddins presents the second volume of his masterful work. Bing Crosby dominated American popular culture in a way that few artists ever have. From the dizzying era of Prohibition through the dark days of the Second World War, he was a desperate nation’s most beloved entertainer. But he was more than just a charismatic crooner: Bing Crosby redefined the very foundations of modern music, from the way it was recorded to the way it was orchestrated and performed. In this much-anticipated follow-up to the universally acclaimed first volume, acclaimed music critic Gary Giddins now focuses on Crosby’s most memorable period, the war years and the origin story of White Christmas. Set against the backdrop of a Europe on the brink of collapse, this groundbreaking work traces Crosby’s skyrocketing career as he fully inhabits a new era of American entertainment and culture. While he would go on to reshape both popular music and cinema more comprehensively than any other artist, Crosby’s legacy would be forever intertwined with his impact on the home front, a unifying voice for a nation at war. Over a decade in the making and drawing on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented access to numerous archives, Giddins brings Bing Crosby, his work, and his world to vivid life—firmly reclaiming Crosby’s central role in American cultural history.

Title: Rain of Gold Author: Victor Villaseñor Narrator: Johnny Rey Diaz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 29 minutes Release date: September 15, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Rain of Gold is a true-life saga of love, family and destiny that pulses with bold vitality, sweeping from the war-ravaged Mexican mountains of Pancho Villa’s revolution to the days of Prohibition in California. It all began when Villaseñor’s maternal grandmother sat him down in their little home in the barrio of Carlsbad, California, gave him sweet bread and told him the story of their past. Of his mother Lupe, the most beautiful girl in the whole village who was only a child when Villa’s men came shooting into their canyon. And of his father Juan and his family, reduced to rags and starvation as they sought refuge across the border, where they believed that endless opportunity awaited. Lupe and Juan met and fell in love in California, but they found that the doors to the Promised Land were often closed to those from south of the border. His father was forced to take the law into his own hands, in spite of his wife’s objections. With love and humor, Villaseñor shares this passionate love story that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. An all-American story of struggle and success, Rain of Gold focuses on three generations of Villaseñor’s kin, their spiritual and cultural roots back in Mexico, their immigration to California and overcoming poverty, prejudice and economic exploitation. It is the warm-hearted and spirited account of the wily, wary and persevering forebears of Victor Villaseñor.

It all began when Villaseñor’s maternal grandmother sat him down in their little home in the barrio of Carlsbad, California, gave him sweet bread and told him the story of their past. Of his mother Lupe, the most beautiful girl in the whole village who was only a child when Villa’s men came shooting into their canyon. And of his father Juan and his family, reduced to rags and starvation as they sought refuge across the border, where they believed that endless opportunity awaited. Lupe and Juan met and fell in love in California, but they found that the doors to the Promised Land were often closed to those from south of the border. His father was forced to take the law into his own hands, in spite of his wife’s objections. With love and humor, Villaseñor shares this passionate love story that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. An all-American story of struggle and success, Rain of Gold focuses on three generations of Villaseñor’s kin, their spiritual and cultural roots back in Mexico, their immigration to California and overcoming poverty, prejudice and economic exploitation. It is the warm-hearted and spirited account of the wily, wary and persevering forebears of Victor Villaseñor. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554875 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554875]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: An American Marriage: The Untold Story of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Author: Michael Burlingame Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 14 minutes Release date: December 21, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An enlightening narrative exploring an oft-overlooked aspect of the sixteenth president's life, An American Marriage reveals the tragic story of Abraham Lincoln's marriage to Mary Todd. Based on thirty years of research, An American Marriage describes and analyzes why Lincoln had good reason to regret his marriage to Mary Todd. This revealing narrative shows that, as First Lady, Mary Lincoln accepted bribes and kickbacks, sold permits and pardons, engaged in extortion, and peddled influence. The listener comes to learn that Lincoln wed Mary Todd because, in all likelihood, she seduced him and then insisted that he protect her honor. Perhaps surprisingly, the 5'2' Mrs. Lincoln often physically abused her 6'4' husband, as well as her children and servants; she humiliated her husband in public; she caused him, as president, to fear that she would disgrace him publicly. Unlike her husband, she was not profoundly opposed to slavery and hardly qualifies as the 'ardent abolitionist' that some historians have portrayed. While she provided a useful stimulus to his ambition, she often 'crushed his spirit,' as his law partner put it. In the end, Lincoln may not have had as successful a presidency as he did—where he showed a preternatural ability to deal with difficult people—if he had not had so much practice at home.

Title: Home in the World: A Memoir Author: Amartya Sen Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 44 minutes Release date: February 15, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen, a memoir about home, belonging, inequality, and identity, recounting a singular life devoted to bettering humanity.A towering figure in the field of economics, Amartya Sen is perhaps best known for his work on poverty and famine, as inspired by events in his boyhood home of West Bengal, India. But Sen has, in fact, called many places “home,” from Dhaka in modern Bangladesh to Trinity College, Cambridge. In Home in the World, these “homes” collectively form an unparalleled and profoundly truthful vision of twentieth- and twenty-first century life. Interweaving scenes from his youth with candid reflections on wealth, welfare, and social justice, Sen shows how his life experiences—in Asia, Europe, and later America—vitally informed his work, culminating in the ultimate “portrait of a citizen of the world” (Philip Hensher, Spectator).“Sen is more than an economist, moral philosopher or even an academic. He is a life-long campaigner … for a more noble idea of home.”—Edward Luce, Financial Times (UK) Amartya Sen Tue, 15 Feb 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554612 thebookvoice.com 16:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554612]]> to listen full audiobooks.

The same year, he married the woman that had inspired his run for freedom and started working actively as a social reformer, orator, statesman, and women’s rights defender. He remains most known today for his 1845 autobiography 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.' https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554121 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/554121]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: No Escape: The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs Author: Nury Turkel Narrator: Stewart Lang Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 10, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A powerful memoir by Nury Turkel lays bare China’s repression of the Uyghur people. Turkel is cofounder and board chair of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a commissioner for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. In recent years, the People’s Republic of China has rounded up as many as three million Uyghurs, placing them in what it calls “reeducation camps,” facilities most of the world identifies as concentration camps. There, the genocide and enslavement of the Uyghur people are ongoing. The tactics employed are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious because of the technology used, most of it stolen from Silicon Valley. In the words of Turkel, “Communist China has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the world’s watch.”  As a human rights attorney and Uyghur activist who now serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkel tells his personal story to help explain the urgency and scope of the Uyghur crisis. Born in 1970 in a reeducation camp, he was lucky enough to survive and eventually make his way to the US, where he became the first Uyghur to receive an American law degree. Since then, he has worked as a prominent lawyer, activist, and spokesperson for his people and advocated strong policy responses from the liberal democracies to address atrocity crimes against his people.  The Uyghur crisis is turning into the greatest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century, a systematic cleansing of an entire race of people in the millions. Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel’s personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China.

Title: Alabama v. King: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Criminal Trial That Launched the Civil Rights Movement Author: Dan Abrams, David Fisher Narrator: Fred D. Gray, Korey Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 25 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The forgotten story of a criminal trial that brought national attention to a young defendant named Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as told by Fred D. Gray, Dr. King’s lawyer and friend, along with New York Times bestselling authors Dan Abrams and David Fisher. The audiobook concludes with an exclusive conversation between Fred Gray and Dan Abrams. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. After years of mistreatment on public buses, the African American community organized a bus boycott. Eighty-nine people were indicted for violating the city’s anti-boycott statute. But rather than putting each of them on trial, the prosecutors chose to make an example of just one: twenty-seven-year-old minister Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This became the moment that transformed Dr. King into a national leader. Fred D. Gray, then twenty-four years old and one of only two Black lawyers in Montgomery, had prepared with Rosa Parks for the bus moment and now became Dr. King’s first defense lawyer. The stakes were huge. This was not just a trial about a state statute; this was an attempt to launch a movement in the face of an often violent effort by a Southern city fighting to preserve segregation. And it would set Gray on a path that would lead him to making an impassioned argument to the Supreme Court against segregation in Montgomery’s public transit. On the eve of the trial, Dr. King commented, “When the history books are written in the future generations, the historians will pause and say, ‘There lived a great people—a Black people—who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization.’” Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: The Art of Teaching Children: All I Learned from a Lifetime in the Classroom Author: Phillip Done Narrator: Phillip Done Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 26, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An essential guide for teachers and parents that’s destined to become a classic, The Art of Teaching Children is one of those rare and masterful books that not only defines a craft but offers a magical reading experience. After more than thirty years in the classroom, award-winning teacher Phillip Done decided that it was time to retire. But a teacher’s job is never truly finished, and he set out to write the greatest lesson of his career: a book for educators and parents that would pass along everything he learned about working with kids. From the first-day-of-school jitters to the last day’s tears, Done writes about the teacher’s craft, classrooms and curriculums, the challenges of the profession, and the reason all teachers do it—the children. Drawing upon decades of experience, Done shares time-tested tips and sage advice: Real learning is messy, not linear. Greeting kids in the morning as they enter the classroom is an important part of the school day. If a student is having trouble, look at what you can do differently before pointing the finger at the child. Ask yourself: Would I want to be a student in my class? When children watch you, they are learning how to be people, and one of the most important things we can do for our students is to model the kind of people we would like them to be. Done tackles topics you won’t find in any other teaching book, including Back to School Night nerves, teacher pride, the Sunday Blues, Pinterest envy, teacher guilt, and the things they never warn you about in “teacher school” but should, like how to survive recess duty, field trips, and lunch supervision. Done also addresses some of the most important issues schools face today: bullying, excessive screen time, the system’s obsession with testing, teacher burnout, and the ever-increasing demands of meeting the diverse learning needs of students. But The Art of Teaching Children is more than a guide to educating today’s young learners. These pages are alive with inspiration, humor, and tales of humanity. Done welcomes us like visitors at Open House Night to the world of elementary school, where we witness lessons that go well and others that flop, periods that run smoothly and ones that go haywire when a bee flies into the room. We meet master teachers and new ones, librarians and lunch supervisors, principals and parents (some with too much time on their hands). We get to know kids who want to hold a ball and those who’d rather hold a marker, students with difficult home lives and children with disabilities, youngsters who need drawing out and those who happily announce (in the middle of a math lesson) that they have a loose tooth. With great wit and wisdom, irresistible storytelling, and boundless compassion, The Art of Teaching Children is the new educator’s bible for teachers, parents, and all who work with kids and care about their learning and success.

Title: The Art of Teaching Children: All I Learned from a Lifetime in the Classroom Author: Phillip Done Narrator: Phillip Done Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 26, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An essential guide for teachers and parents that’s destined to become a classic, The Art of Teaching Children is one of those rare and masterful books that not only defines a craft but offers a magical reading experience. After more than thirty years in the classroom, award-winning teacher Phillip Done decided that it was time to retire. But a teacher’s job is never truly finished, and he set out to write the greatest lesson of his career: a book for educators and parents that would pass along everything he learned about working with kids. From the first-day-of-school jitters to the last day’s tears, Done writes about the teacher’s craft, classrooms and curriculums, the challenges of the profession, and the reason all teachers do it—the children. Drawing upon decades of experience, Done shares time-tested tips and sage advice: Real learning is messy, not linear. Greeting kids in the morning as they enter the classroom is an important part of the school day.

Title: The First Populist: The Defiant Life of Andrew Jackson Author: David S. Brown Narrator: Jacques Roy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 40 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A timely, “solidly researched [and] gracefully written” (The Wall Street Journal) biography of President Andrew Jackson that offers a fresh reexamination of this charismatic figure in the context of American populism—connecting the complex man and the politician to a longer history of division, dissent, and partisanship that has come to define our current times. Andrew Jackson rose from rural poverty in the Carolinas to become the dominant figure in American politics between Jefferson and Lincoln. His reputation, however, defies easy description. Some regard him as the symbol of a powerful democratic movement that saw early 19th-century voting rights expanded for propertyless white men. Others stress Jackson’s prominent role in removing Native American peoples from their ancestral lands, which then became the center of a thriving southern cotton kingdom worked by more than a million enslaved people. A combative, self-defined champion of “farmers, mechanics, and laborers,” Jackson railed against East Coast elites and Virginia aristocracy, fostering a brand of democracy that struck a chord with the common man and helped catapult him into the presidency. “The General,” as he was known, was the first president to be born of humble origins, first orphan, and thus far the only former prisoner of war to occupy the office. Drawing on a wide range of sources, The First Populist takes a fresh look at Jackson’s public career, including the pivotal Battle of New Orleans (1815) and the bitterly fought Bank War; it reveals his marriage to an already married woman and a deadly duel with a Nashville dandy, and analyzes his magnetic hold on the public imagination of the country in the decades between the War of 1812 and the Civil War. “By assessing the frequent comparisons between Jackson and Donald Trump…the hope is that a fresh understanding of the divisive times of ‘the country’s original anti-establishment president’ might shed light on our own” (The Christian Science Monitor).

Title: Path Lit By Lightning Author: David Maraniss Narrator: David Maraniss Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.17 of Total 12 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A biography of America’s greatest all-around athlete that “goes beyond the myth and into the guts of Thorpe’s life, using extensive research, historical nuance, and bittersweet honesty” (Los Angeles Times), by the bestselling author of the classic biography When Pride Still Mattered. Jim Thorpe rose to world fame as a mythic talent who excelled at every sport. Most famously, he won gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, he was an All-American football player at the Carlisle Indian School, the star of the first class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and played major league baseball for John McGraw’s New York Giants. Even in a golden age of sports celebrities, he was one of a kind. But despite his awesome talent, Thorpe’s life was a struggle against the odds. At Carlisle, he faced the racist assimilationist philosophy “Kill the Indian, Save the Man.” His gold medals were unfairly rescinded because he had played minor league baseball, and his supposed allies turned away from him when their own reputations were at risk. His later life was troubled by alcohol, broken marriages, and financial distress. He roamed from state to state and took bit parts in Hollywood, but even the film of his own life failed to improve his fortunes. But for all his travails, Thorpe survived, determined to shape his own destiny, his perseverance becoming another mark of his mythic stature. Path Lit by Lightning “[reveals] Thorpe as a man in full, whose life was characterized by both soaring triumph and grievous loss” (The Wall Street Journal).

Title: Imagine a City: A Pilot's Journey Across the Urban World Author: Mark Vanhoenacker Narrator: Kyle Soller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 3 minutes Release date: July 5, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: This love letter to the cities of the world—from the airline pilot–author of Skyfaring—is 'a journey around both the author's mind and the planet's great cities that leaves us energized, open to new experiences and ready to return more hopefully to our lives' (Alain de Botton, author of The Art of Travel). In his small New England hometown, Mark Vanhoenacker spent his childhood dreaming of elsewhere— of the distant, real cities he found on the illuminated globe in his bedroom, and of one perfect metropolis that existed only in his imagination. These cities were the sources of endless comfort and escape, and of a lasting fascination. Streets unspooled, towers shone, and anonymous crowds bustled in the places where Mark hoped he could someday be anyone—perhaps even himself.  Now, as a commercial airline pilot, Mark has spent nearly two decades crossing the skies of our planet and touching down in dozens of the storied cities he imagined as a child. He experiences these destinations during brief stays that he repeats month after month and year after year, giving him an unconventional and uniquely vivid perspective on the places that form our urban world.  In this intimate yet expansive work that weaves travelogue with memoir, Mark celebrates the cities he has come to know and to love, through the lens of the hometown his heart has never quite left. As he explores emblematic facets of each city’s identity— the road signs of Los Angeles, the old gates of Jeddah, the snowy streets of Sapporo—he shows us with warmth and fresh eyes the extraordinary places that billions of us call home.

Title: Good Arguments: How Debate Teaches Us to Listen and Be Heard Author: Bo Seo Narrator: Bo Seo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 6 minutes Release date: June 7, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “The rare book that has the potential to make you smarter—and everyone around you wiser.” —Adam Grant Two-time world champion debater and former coach of the Harvard debate team, Bo Seo tells the inspiring story of his life in competitive debating and reveals the timeless secrets of effective communication and persuasion When Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: he discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. It turned out, perhaps counterintuitively, that debating was the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically. And he’s not the only one. Far from it: presidents, Supreme Court justices, and CEOs are all disproportionally debaters. This is hardly a coincidence. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, Seo shows how the skills of debating—information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion—are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives. Drawing insights from its strategies, structure, and history, Seo teaches readers the skills of competitive debate, and in doing so shows how they can improve their communication with friends, family, and colleagues alike. He takes readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, touching on everything from the radical politics of Malcom X to Artificial Intelligence. Seo proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, far from being a source of conflict, good-faith debate can enrich our daily lives. Indeed, these good arguments are essential to a flourishing democracy, and are more important than ever at time when bad faith is all around, and our democracy seems so imperiled.

Title: Sabine’s War: The Incredible True Story of a Resistance Fighter Who Survived Three Concentration Camps Author: Eva Taylor Narrator: Nancy Peterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 33 minutes Release date: March 31, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An astonishing tale of romance, resistance and bravery ‘A sad and beautiful book, shining a light on quiet heroism in dark times.’ Lucy Adlington, New York Times bestselling author of The Dressmakers of Auschwitz Sabine’s War is the previously untold story of a remarkable resistance fighter and her incredible story of survival against the odds. When Germany invaded Holland in May 1940, Sabine Zuur joined the resistance movement without a moment’s hesitation aged just 22. Helping to hide those avoiding the German authorities, she was soon betrayed and subjected to repeated violent interrogations. Many of her friends were executed but Sabine was instead sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp, via the Amersfoort and Ravensbrück camps. Enduring gruelling conditions and backbreaking forced manual labour, she survived through a combination of guile and good fortune. But it was only after Sabine’s death that her daughter Eva discovered an archive of letters detailing her extraordinary life, revealing a rich inner world and a past she had discussed little. Amongst them were declarations of love from pilot Taro, shot down in his Spitfire over northern France aged just 26; notes from Sabine’s second love Gerard, executed by the Germans; letters to her mother smuggled out in her prison laundry; and passionate, creepy missives from a German professional criminal named Gebele who would ultimately save Sabine’s life. She emerges from this correspondence as a woman with an indefinable aura, somehow in control of her own destiny even when to all intents and purposes she was not. A transfixing story of survival, Sabine’s War captures a remarkable life in the words of the young woman who lived it.

Title: Blood Brother: A Memoir Author: Susan Keller Narrator: Lexi Mae Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 47 minutes Release date: November 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: As a happily married, fifty-five-year-old professional woman, Susan had it all—or thought she did—until the day of her shocking diagnosis with stage IV Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive disease. Ninety-eight percent of her bone marrow was cancerous, and a heart attack or brain aneurism was imminent. Within minutes of being admitted to the hospital, her beautifully ordinary life disappeared. Facing a possible death sentence, Susan experienced visions so lucid and beautiful that she imagined she was looking into the foyer of death or a magnificent afterlife. Her mind and body melded into all that surrounded her. Bliss replaced all fear. But during the darkest moments, Susan questioned the nature of mortality. Does death have the same shape, sound, and feeling for everyone? Did the father she yearned for think of her the moment he died? What would she think of? Would there be regret, celebration, or nothingness? After months of grueling inpatient chemo, she faced another seemingly impossible hurdle. To live, she needed a stem cell transplant. But Johnny—her brilliant, off-the-grid brother—was the only possible donor. He hadn't been heard from in thirty years.

Title: The Last Letter: A Father's Struggle, A Daughter's Quest and the Long Shadow of the Holocaust Author: Karen Baum Gordon Narrator: Christa Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 33 minutes Release date: December 28, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Born a German Jew in 1915, Rudy Baum was eighty-six years old when he sealed the garage door of his Dallas home, turned on the car ignition, and tried to end his life. After confronting her father's attempted suicide, Karen Baum Gordon, Rudy's daughter, began a sincere effort to understand the sequence of events that led her father to that dreadful day in 2002. What she found were hidden scars of generational struggles reaching back to the camps and ghettos of the Third Reich. In The Last Letter: A Father's Struggle, a Daughter's Quest, and the Long Shadow of the Holocaust, Gordon explores not only her father's life story, but also the stories and events that shaped the lives of her grandparents—two Holocaust victims that Rudy tried in vain to save in the late 1930s and early years of World War II. This investigation of her family's history is grounded in eighty-eight letters written mostly by Julie Baum, Rudy's mother and Karen's grandmother, to Rudy between November 1936 and October 1941. In five parts, Gordon examines pieces of these well-worn, handwritten letters and other archival documents in order to discover what her family experienced during the Nazi period and the psychological impact that reverberated from it in the generations that followed. Contains mature themes.

Title: Skiing into the Bright Open: My Solo Journey to the South Pole Author: Liv Arnesen Narrator: Ann Richardson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 25 minutes Release date: November 16, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In Skiing into the Bright Open Liv Arnesen describes the exhausting, exhilarating experience of being the first known woman to ski unsupported to the South Pole. From her childhood in Norway to the seasons she spent working as a guide on Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, Arnesen courted the cold, and her memoir reflects the knowledge and passion for Arctic and Antarctic exploration that grew with her adventures in the wintry reaches of Norway and beyond. Tracing her path from the heroic stories of explorers like Fridtjof Nansen and Ernest Shackleton to her own crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap in 1992, Arnesen credits the inspiring feats of those who preceded her but also describes the obstacles—including niggling self-doubt—that tradition, convention, and downright prejudice put in her way as she endeavored to find the support and sponsorship granted to men in her field. A tale of solitary adventure in the bleak and beautiful bone-chilling cold of Antarctica, Skiing into the Bright Open tells a story of gritty determination, thrilling achievement, and perseverance in the face of near despair and daunting odds; it is, ultimately, an object lesson in the power of a dream if one is willing to pursue it to the ends of the earth.

Tracing her path from the heroic stories of explorers like Fridtjof Nansen and Ernest Shackleton to her own crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap in 1992, Arnesen credits the inspiring feats of those who preceded her but also describes the obstacles—including niggling self-doubt—that tradition, convention, and downright prejudice put in her way as she endeavored to find the support and sponsorship granted to men in her field. A tale of solitary adventure in the bleak and beautiful bone-chilling cold of Antarctica, Skiing into the Bright Open tells a story of gritty determination, thrilling achievement, and perseverance in the face of near despair and daunting odds; it is, ultimately, an object lesson in the power of a dream if one is willing to pursue it to the ends of the earth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551806 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551806]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Calomarde. El hijo bastardo de las luces Author: Sergio Del Molino Narrator: Manuel Lanza Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 56 minutes Release date: December 8, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: El nombre de Calomarde pertenece a los más oscuro, abyecto y olvidable de la historia. Frente a la fuerza de un Rasputín o de un Hoover, que pueden ser personajes históricos equivalentes, Calomarde se ha quedado en un chiste. No es tan raro, en un país que tiende a contarse más como comedia que como tragedia, pero da pena tanto desaprovechamiento. Alguien que podría haber sido un Shylock ibérico o una Lady Macbeth: el que susurra a los oídos de los príncipes, el que conspira de madrugada para estrangular a sus enemigos, el que apuñala a su amo mientras le ofrece, obsequioso, la patita. Claro que tampoco fue eso exactamente, porque el príncipe al que susurraba, el terrible Fernando VII, no era un cándido con el seso sorbido. Digamos que Calomarde fue más cómplice útil de un criminal que instigador de crímenes. Un brazo ejecutor, el que mandaba en lo que los periodistas de hoy llamarían las cloacas del Estado. Fue, de hecho, el primer capo de esas cloacas, que él mismo inauguró - antes, casi no había ni Estado en España, como para tener cloacas -.

Title: The Polar Adventures of a Rich American Dame: A Life of Louise Arner Boyd Author: Joanna Kafarowski Narrator: Kate Mulligan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The first comprehensive biography of Louise Arner Boyd—the intrepid American socialite who reinvented herself as the leading female polar explorer of the twentieth century. Born in the late 1880s to a gritty mining magnate who made his millions in the California Gold Rush and a well-bred mother descended from one of New York’s distinguished families, society beauty Louise Arner Boyd was raised during a glittering era. After inheriting a staggering family fortune, she began leading a double life. She fell under the spell of the north in the late 1920s after a sailing excursion to the Arctic Ocean. Over the next three decades, she achieved international notoriety as a rugged and audacious polar explorer while maintaining her flamboyant lifestyle as a leading society woman. Yet despite organizing, financing, and directing seven daring Arctic expeditions between 1926 and 1955, she is virtually unknown today.

They and their music stir in her an ecstatic new sense of freedom. With a friend, she hatches a bold plan to escape their dreary lives and run away to London to meet the Fab Four. On their own for the first time—in 'Beatleland'—they explore a new city, a new culture, and a new life, visiting the hippest clubs of Soho, meeting some nice English boys, and hitchhiking to Liverpool. But unbeknownst to them, the runaways have become international news—and a hunt is on. Adventure and newfound freedom end abruptly when Janice is apprehended by London police and hauled home to Cleveland and an unforgiving juvenile justice system. Warned by responsible adults to put it all behind her, she doesn't speak of her extraordinary adventure for more than fifty years. In this memoir, she looks back with fresh insight on the heady early days of Beatlemania and an era in America when young women exercising some control over their lives presented a serious threat to adult society.

Entzminger links several generations of women from pre-Civil War years to the present, including Victoria, a former slave and concubine to her third great uncle, Rosalee, a great aunt committed to the state hospital for forty years, and Louise, an aunt who unwittingly married a gay man at a time when divorce was not legal in South Carolina. She also shares candid details of her rebellious youth and her own struggles with marriage and parenthood. In exploring the lives of her spirited female relatives, Entzminger—their educated, rebellious, and misfit twenty-first-century descendant—restores their voices and finds inspiration in their courage and integrity. The Beak in the Heart speaks to all women, regardless of region of birth, who have felt that society has curbed their freedoms or silenced their voices.

Title: Warren and Bill: Gates, Buffett and the Friendship that Changed the World Author: Anthony McCarten Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 19 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, and The Two Popes comes the fascinating account of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett’s friendship—one of the most impactful relationships in history, and the basis of an upcoming play and film. Few friendships have had such far-reaching implications for the world—from finance to technology to philanthropy—than that between Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. After meeting at a party in 1991, the two played cards and golf, shared jokes, swapped trade secrets, ate junk food, talked and listened. Their growing friendship would impact each man and lead to change on a grander scale, culminating in the development of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which holds nearly $50 billion in assets. How did such an unusual union blossom? In what ways specifically did each man begin to influence the other? How did these two avid wealth accumulators jointly decide to address some of the world’s most critical problems—poverty, disease, inequality—by giving their wealth away? And what, finally, does their giga-wealthy partnership mean for the rest of us in an age of great wealth—and great inequality? This book gives the fullest account yet of this extraordinary relationship and explores how it has transformed these two men—and is changing the world for the better for all of us.

Title: Transitional: In One Way or Another, We All Transition Author: Munroe Bergdorf Narrator: Mia Juul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 17 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience. This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

Title: The Earth Is All That Lasts: Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and the Last Stand of the Great Sioux Nation Author: Mark Lee Gardner Narrator: Shaun Taylor-Corbett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 21, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A magisterial dual biography of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, the two most legendary and consequential American Indian leaders, who triumphed at the Battle of Little Bighorn and led Sioux resistance in the fierce final chapter of the ''Indian Wars.'' Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull: Their names are iconic, their significance in American history undeniable. Together, these two Lakota chiefs, one a fabled warrior and the other a revered holy man, crushed George Armstrong Custer’s vaunted Seventh Cavalry. Yet their legendary victory at the Little Big Horn has overshadowed the rest of their rich and complex lives. Now, based on years of research and drawing on a wealth of previously ignored primary sources, award-winning author Mark Lee Gardner delivers the definitive chronicle, thrillingly told, of these extraordinary Indigenous leaders. Both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were born and grew to manhood on the High Plains of the American West, in an era when vast herds of buffalo covered the earth, and when their nomadic people could move freely, following the buffalo and lording their fighting prowess over rival Indian nations. But as idyllic as this life seemed to be, neither man had known a time without whites. Fur traders and government explorers were the first to penetrate Sioux lands, but they were soon followed by a flood of white intruders: Oregon-California Trail travelers, gold seek - ers, railroad men, settlers, town builders—and Bluecoats. The buffalo population plummeted, disease spread by the white man decimated villages, and conflicts with the interlopers increased. On June 25, 1876, in the valley of the Little Big Horn, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and the warriors who were inspired to follow them, fought the last stand of the Sioux, a fierce and proud nation that had ruled the Great Plains for decades. It was their greatest victory, but it was also the beginning of the end for their treasured and sacred way of life. And in the years to come, both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, defiant to the end, would meet violent—and eerily similar—fates. An essential new addition to the canon of Indigenous American history and literature of the West, The Earth Is All That Lasts is a grand saga, both triumphant and tragic, of two fascinating and heroic leaders struggling to maintain the freedom of their people against impossible odds.

Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull: Their names are iconic, their significance in American history undeniable. Together, these two Lakota chiefs, one a fabled warrior and the other a revered holy man, crushed George Armstrong Custer’s vaunted Seventh Cavalry. Yet their legendary victory at the Little Big Horn has overshadowed the rest of their rich and complex lives. Now, based on years of research and drawing on a wealth of previously ignored primary sources, award-winning author Mark Lee Gardner delivers the definitive chronicle, thrillingly told, of these extraordinary Indigenous leaders. Both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were born and grew to manhood on the High Plains of the American West, in an era when vast herds of buffalo covered the earth, and when their nomadic people could move freely, following the buffalo and lording their fighting prowess over rival Indian nations. But as idyllic as this life seemed to be, neither man had known a time without whites. Fur traders and government explorers were the first to penetrate Sioux lands, but they were soon followed by a flood of white intruders: Oregon-California Trail travelers, gold seek - ers, railroad men, settlers, town builders—and Bluecoats. The buffalo population plummeted, disease spread by the white man decimated villages, and conflicts with the interlopers increased. On June 25, 1876, in the valley of the Little Big Horn, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and the warriors who were inspired to follow them, fought the last stand of the Sioux, a fierce and proud nation that had ruled the Great Plains for decades. It was their greatest victory, but it was also the beginning of the end for their treasured and sacred way of life. And in the years to come, both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, defiant to the end, would meet violent—and eerily similar—fates. An essential new addition to the canon of Indigenous American history and literature of the West, The Earth Is All That Lasts is a grand saga, both triumphant and tragic, of two fascinating and heroic leaders struggling to maintain the freedom of their people against impossible odds.

Title: The Last Boss of Brighton: Boris “Biba” Nayfeld and the Rise of the Russian Mob in America Author: Douglas Century Narrator: Gregory Korostishevsky, Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: July 5, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Bestselling author Douglas Century reveals the untold story of the epic rise and fall of Boris Nayfeld, also known as Biba, one of the most notorious Russian mob bosses of our era. Boris Nayfeld, a.k.a. “Biba,” is the last living boss of the old-school Russian mob in America, and he’s survived to tell it all. Filled with sex, drugs, and murder, Biba’s story is a mind-boggling journey that took him from petty street crime in the USSR to billion-dollar embezzlement in America. Born in Soviet-era Belarus, abandoned by his parents in infancy, Biba’s brutal upbringing left him hungry for more—more power, control, and money. Taking advantage of the rampant corruption in the Soviet Union, Biba’s teenage hooliganism quickly turned into bolder “black cash” rackets, making him, by Soviet standards, a very rich young man. When authorities took notice and threatened him with “the supreme measure”— execution by firing squad—he managed to get out of the USSR just in time. Within months of landing in America, his intimidating presence and street smarts quickly made him legendary in the Soviet émigré community of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, and launched him to the top of New York’s Russian Jewish mob, one of the world’s most inventive, powerful and violent criminal organizations. After decades as a globe-trotting boss, and three stints in U.S. federal prisons he remains unbroken and unrepentant, even as his entire life has unraveled around him. Now seventy-four years old, Biba is a lion in winter. Douglas Century vividly brings the notorious gangster to life in these pages, telling not only his epic journey but also the history of the Russian mob in America.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: Isn't Her Grace Amazing!: The Women Who Changed Gospel Music Author: Cheryl Wills Narrator: Tracey Leigh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 56 minutes Release date: May 3, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A unique tribute to often overlooked women who have left an indelible mark on Gospel Music—powerful talents who overcame racism and sexism to define the genre, establish its sound, and set the standard for good sangin’ for generations. Nothing in the world soothes the soul better than Gospel music. From the foot-stomping, hand-clapping melodies of yesterday to the head-bobbing, bass-thumping hits of today, Gospel music ignites the spirit and delivers the inspiration that takes us from the rough side of the mountain to the peak of God’s love and grace. That feeling of joy, peace, love, and contentment is amplified when it’s ringing through the voice of a sister who can SANG, Cheryl Wills reminds us. The remedy for a tough day at work can be alleviated with Mary Mary’s uplifting jam Shackles, the answer to your heart’s desires can be found in the harmonies of The Clark Sisters Name It, Claim It, and if you need a reminder of God’s love, there is nothing more timeless that Aretha Franklin’s stirring rendition of Amazing Grace. Some talented performers, like Sister Rosetta Tharpe have faded from history, while singers like Yolanda Adams are at the top of her game. During the twentieth century, Willie Mae Ford spent most of her life encouraging and uplifting Christians both in church and on stage and composed more than 100 Gospel songs, yet it was men like her co-writer, Thomas A. Dorsey, who received the accolades and fame. Many women in the Gospel music industry go unnoticed, unpaid, and under-appreciated for their contributions, yet it is these women who are often the bedrock for songwriting, arranging, directing, and developing singers.  Cheryl Wills, the granddaughter of a Gospel singer, at last shines a spotlight on these spectacular women of song. The only book of its kind, Isn’t Her Grace Amazing! showcase the talents, gifts, and skills of women in the Gospel music industry. It celebrates these heroines, chronicles their journeys from the choir loft to the world’s largest stages, and reveals how they revolutionized this sacred music that is beloved worldwide. From the matriarchs of this movement to today’s chart-topping divas, Wills offers in-depth portraits of twenty-five amazing women of Gospel music—based on interviews and extensive research—behind-the-scenes stories of favorite gospel hits, and illuminates what makes each of them shine.

Title: Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration, Survival, and New Beginnings Author: Sonia Guiñansaca, Reyna Grande Narrator: Diana Pou, Avi Roque, Marisa Blake, Christian Barillas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 16 minutes Release date: June 7, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: ''[These contributions] touch on so many different facets of the immigrant experience that readers will find much to ponder... [and] experience how creative writing enriches our understanding of each other and our lives.'' –Booklist Introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen A unique collection of 41 groundbreaking essays, poems, and artwork by migrants, refugees and Dreamers—including award-winning writers, artists, and activists—that illuminate what it is like living undocumented today. In the overheated debate about immigration, we often lose sight of the humanity at the heart of this complex issue. The immigrants and refugees living precariously in the United States are mothers and fathers, children, neighbors, and friends. Individuals propelled by hope and fear, they gamble their lives on the promise of America, yet their voices are rarely heard. This anthology of essays, poetry, and art seeks to shift the immigration debate—now shaped by rancorous stereotypes and xenophobia—towards one rooted in humanity and justice. Through their storytelling and art, the contributors to this thought-provoking book remind us that they are human still. Transcending their current immigration status, they offer nuanced portraits of their existence before and after migration, the factors behind their choices, the pain of leaving their homeland and beginning anew in a strange country, and their collective hunger for a future not defined by borders. Created entirely by undocumented or formerly undocumented migrants, Somewhere We Are Human is a journey of memory and yearning from people newly arrived to America, those who have been here for decades, and those who have ultimately chosen to leave or were deported. Touching on themes of race, class, gender, nationality, sexuality, politics, and parenthood, Somewhere We Are Human reveals how joy, hope, mourning, and perseverance can take root in the toughest soil and bloom in the harshest conditions.

Title: [Spanish] - Somewhere We Are Human Donde somos humanos (Spanish edition): Historias genuinas sobre migración, sobrevivencia y renaceres Author: Sonia Guiñansaca, Reyna Grande Narrator: Alejandra Corman, Diana Pou, Avi Roque, Christian Barillas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Una colección de 35 ensayos y poemas audaces, importantes e innovadores de inmigrantes, refugiados y soñadores, incluidos escritores, artistas y activistas galardonados, que iluminan la experiencia de vivir sin documentos. Durante este tiempo de inestabilidad política e incertidumbre, esta colección de ensayos, poesía y arte tiene como objetivo cambiar el imaginario colectivo de la nación sobre los migrantes y refugiados hacia uno arraigado en la humanidad y la justicia. Los escritores de esta antología cambiarán la percepción de sí mismos y de sus comunidades a través de la narración y el arte, para declarar en voz alta y con orgullo que, aquí y en todas partes, son humanos a pesar de la militarización fronteriza, la detención masiva y la legislación antiinmigrante draconiana. Aquí, hablan de su experiencia, no solo lidiando con su estado migratorio actual, sino en un reflejo matizado de su propia existencia antes de la migración y su hambre colectiva por un futuro sin fronteras. Estas historias llevarán al lector a un viaje a través de los recuerdos de la infancia, las anécdotas familiares y los sueños de reunirse con los padres del otro lado. Otras historias capturarán lo que a menudo no se discute, como el momento en que uno decide dejar los EE. UU. para buscar una nueva vida en otro lugar, después de décadas de vivir como inmigrante indocumentado en los Estados Unidos, ser procesado en un centro de detención como transmigrante, y luto por patrias imaginadas. Algunas historias tendrán las complejidades en capas de ser negro y migrante, o reflejarán la angustia de envejecer fuera de DACA, pero todas las historias convergerán en las intersecciones de raza, clase, género, nacionalidad, sexualidad, creencias políticas y derechos reproductivos. Como semillas de diente de león, estas historias germinarán un sentido de urgencia, alegría, esperanza, luto y perseverancia, echando raíces en el suelo más duro, demostrando lo que puede florecer a pesar de las condiciones adversas.

Estas historias llevarán al lector a un viaje a través de los recuerdos de la infancia, las anécdotas familiares y los sueños de reunirse con los padres del otro lado. Otras historias capturarán lo que a menudo no se discute, como el momento en que uno decide dejar los EE. UU. para buscar una nueva vida en otro lugar, después de décadas de vivir como inmigrante indocumentado en los Estados Unidos, ser procesado en un centro de detención como transmigrante, y luto por patrias imaginadas. Algunas historias tendrán las complejidades en capas de ser negro y migrante, o reflejarán la angustia de envejecer fuera de DACA, pero todas las historias convergerán en las intersecciones de raza, clase, género, nacionalidad, sexualidad, creencias políticas y derechos reproductivos. Como semillas de diente de león, estas historias germinarán un sentido de urgencia, alegría, esperanza, luto y perseverancia, echando raíces en el suelo más duro, demostrando lo que puede florecer a pesar de las condiciones adversas. El PDF de jemora suplementario acompana al audiolibro. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551046 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/551046]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Wonder Drug: The Hidden Victims of America’s Secret Thalidomide Scandal Author: Jennifer Vanderbes Narrator: Jennifer Vanderbes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 11 minutes Release date: July 6, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Longlisted for the Andrew 2024 Carnegie Medal for Non-Fiction The shocking, never-before-told story of America’s thalidomide victims In Germany on Christmas Day 1956 a baby girl was born without ears. She was the first victim of the notorious thalidomide epidemic. There would be over 10,000 more across 46 countries. For years the world believed the United States had avoided the catastrophe. After Frances Kelsey at the Food and Drug Administration became suspicious of the dangers of thalidomide in 1960, she led a successful fight to block its commercial approval. But now, having probed government and corporate archives and interviewed hundreds of key players, Jennifer Vanderbes reveals a darker truth that lay buried for decades. The toxic sedative ostensibly ‘never sold’ in America was widely distributed for over five years under the guise of clinical trials, reaching hundreds of pregnant women. Scores of American babies were, in fact, born with birth defects likely caused by the drug. Wonder Drug gives a voice to these hidden victims of the twentieth century’s biggest medical scandal, shedding light on the deceptive practices of Big Pharma that still endanger lives around the world today.

Title: Sisters in Resistance: How a German Spy, a Banker's Wife, and Mussolini's Daughter Outwitted the Nazis Author: Tilar J. Mazzeo Narrator: Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 29 minutes Release date: June 21, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In a tale as twisted as any spy thriller, discover how three women delivered critical evidence of Axis war crimes to Allied forces during World War II: “Mazzeo is a fascinating storyteller” (New York Journal of Books).   In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's Foreign Minister, Galeazzo Ciano, had permeated public consciousness. What wasn't reported, however, was how three women—a Fascist's daughter, a German spy, and an American socialite—risked their lives to ensure the diaries would reach the Allies, who would later use them as evidence against the Nazis at Nuremberg. In 1944, Benito Mussolini's daughter, Edda, gave Hitler and her father an ultimatum: release her husband, Galeazzo Ciano, from prison, or risk her leaking her husband's journals to the press. To avoid the peril of exposing Nazi lies, Hitler and Mussolini hunted for the diaries for months, determined to destroy them. Hilde Beetz, a German spy, was deployed to seduce Ciano to learn the diaries' location and take them from Edda. As the seducer became the seduced, Hilde converted as a double agent, joining forces with Edda to save Ciano from execution. When this failed, Edda fled to Switzerland with Hilde’s daring assistance to keep Ciano's final wish: to see the diaries published for use by the Allies. When American spymaster Allen Dulles learned of Edda's escape, he sent in socialite Frances De Chollet, an “accidental” spy, telling her to find Edda, gain her trust, and, crucially, hand the diaries over to the Americans. Together, they succeeded in preserving one of the most important documents of WWII.           Drawing from in‑depth research and first-person interviews with people who witnessed these events, Mazzeo gives readers a riveting look into this little‑known moment in history and shows how, without Edda, Hilde, and Frances's involvement, certain convictions at Nuremberg would never have been possible.

Title: Wounded by Religion Healed by Faith Author: Michael Anderson And Nick Hanson Narrator: James Stoffa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: September 16, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Northwest Airlines became the first large domestic air carrier to join the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association in 1994, which changed aviation history. They did not do this out of the goodness of their hearts. They did it because of Mike Anderson's efforts to change the culture. This is at a time when Mike could still be fired for being gay. A time when religions were closing their doors to gay people. A time when Republicans were blurring Biblical law with civil laws through conservative rightwing bigoted hate groups. Mike knew that the unconditional love of God is a love before any condition happens. Mike felt he knew more about love than what his catholic priest and other preachers knew. Mike felt that Jesus came to show us that even by death we can't be separated from God. The author’s oneness with his God from childhood is shown to help you remember who you are in your relationship and oneness with God. God finally said to Mike: 'Stop, we're not going on any further till you accept yourself as being gay. I made you gay. And I love what I made.' Mike's concept of a God doesn't make mistakes. Jesus didn't come to save us from an imperfect God who tried to create a perfect human being and couldn't, but then demanded of us to be perfect or face damnation in hell. Jesus didn't come to save us from God's imperfections or what Christians call sin. God gave us experiences to bring forth clarity of who we are in our oneness with God. Sometimes we have to lose what we have to understand our true oneness with God. When Mike woke up from a three week coma due to a car wreck, he was no longer a human being having a catholic spiritual experience, he was now a spiritual being having a human experience. With Mike's story comes clarity of the damaging effects of organized religions on society. Have Christians used the Bible to advance their own views of an inflexible and at times an angry God?

Title: The Girl in the Middle: Growing Up Between Black and White, Rich and Poor Author: Anais Granofsky Narrator: Joniece Abbott-Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 47 minutes Release date: April 12, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In this poignant and timely memoir—written with the searing power of Beautiful Struggle and Born a Crime—Degrassi Junior High star Anais Granofsky contemplates the lingering impact of a childhood spent in two opposite and warring worlds. Though recognized around the world for her role as Lucy Hernandez on the hit show Degrassi, Anais Granofsky’s true childhood story is largely unknown. Growing up, Anais was caught between two vastly different worlds: her father, Stanley, came from a wealthy, prominent, white Jewish family in Toronto. Her mother, Jean, was one of 15 children from a poor Black Methodist family in Ohio directly descended from freed Randolph slaves. When Anais’s parents met at Antioch College in the early 1970s and soon had their first child, they didn’t anticipate being cut off by the wealthy Granofskys, or that Stanley would find his calling in the spiritual teaching of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, change his name to Fakeer, and leave his family for an ashram in India. Young Anais and her mother teetered on the abyss of poverty, sharing a mattress in a single room in social housing in Toronto, while her grandparents lived in a mansion that was 20 minutes away. As Anais grew up, she spent weekends with her wealthy Granofsky grandparents. On Saturdays and Sundays she would wear expensive clothes and eat lunch by the pool. In the weeks between, she and her mother lived day by day penniless, rarely knowing where their next meal would come from. From her earliest youth, Anais realized that if she wanted to be loved, she had to keep her two lives separate, learning to code switch between her Jewish identity on the weekend and her Black one during the week.  Her life was compartmentalized, until at age 12, Anais was cast in the internationally successful television show Degrassi Junior High.  The Girl in the Middle is a tale of two vastly different families and the granddaughter they shared and clashed over. Compassionate and vivid, Anais’s story is a powerful lens revealing two divided families and the systematic, generational oppression that separated them. As Anais shares her experiences growing up in opposing worlds, she offers a heart-wrenching exploration of generational trauma, love, shame, grief, and prejudice—and essential insight for healing and acceptance.

Title: The Boy in the Woods: A True Story of Survival During the Second World War Author: Maxwell Smart Narrator: Mack Gordon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 21 minutes Release date: May 3, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The astonishing true story of a boy who survived the war by hiding in the Polish forest Maxwell Smart was eleven years old when his entire family was killed before his eyes. He might have died along with them, but his mother selflessly ordered him to save himself. Alone in the forest, he dug a hole in the ground for shelter and foraged for food in farmers’ fields. His clothes in rags and close to starvation, he repeatedly escaped death at the hands of Nazis and Ukrainian thugs. After months alone, Maxwell encountered a boy wandering in the forest looking for food. Janek was also alone; like Maxwell he had just become an orphan, and the two quickly became friends. They built a bunker in the ground to survive through the winter. One day, after a massacre took place nearby, the boys discovered a baby girl, still alive, lying in the arms of her dead mother. Maxwell and Janek rescued the baby, but this act came at a great cost.  Max’s epic tale of heroism will inspire with its proof of the enduring human spirit. From the brutality of war emerges a man who would become a celebrated artist, offering the world, in contrast to the horrors of his suffering, beautiful works of art.

He might have died along with them, but his mother selflessly ordered him to save himself. Alone in the forest, he dug a hole in the ground for shelter and foraged for food in farmers’ fields. His clothes in rags and close to starvation, he repeatedly escaped death at the hands of Nazis and Ukrainian thugs. After months alone, Maxwell encountered a boy wandering in the forest looking for food. Janek was also alone; like Maxwell he had just become an orphan, and the two quickly became friends. They built a bunker in the ground to survive through the winter. One day, after a massacre took place nearby, the boys discovered a baby girl, still alive, lying in the arms of her dead mother. Maxwell and Janek rescued the baby, but this act came at a great cost.  Max’s epic tale of heroism will inspire with its proof of the enduring human spirit. From the brutality of war emerges a man who would become a celebrated artist, offering the world, in contrast to the horrors of his suffering, beautiful works of art.

Title: All That Moves Us: A Pediatric Neurosurgeon, His Young Patients, and Their Stories of Grace and Resilience Author: Jay Wellons Narrator: Jay Wellons Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 54 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “The surgical interventions in these pages are dizzying, but the fact that Jay Wellons can write as well as he can operate provides a whole other level of amazement.”—Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth “A powerful and moving account of the intense joys and sorrows of being a pediatric neurosurgeon.”—Henry Marsh, New York Times bestselling author of Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Publishers Weekly Tumors, injuries, ruptured vascular malformations—there is almost no such thing as a non-urgent brain surgery when it comes to kids. For a pediatric neurosurgeon working in the medical minefield of the brain—in which a single millimeter in every direction governs something that makes us essentially human—every day presents the challenge, and the opportunity, to give a new lease on life to a child for whom nothing is yet fully determined and all possibilities still exist.  In All That Moves Us, Dr. Jay Wellons pulls back the curtain to reveal the profoundly moving triumphs, haunting complications, and harrowing close calls that characterize the life of a pediatric neurosurgeon, bringing the high-stakes drama of the operating room to life with astonishing candor and honest compassion. Reflecting on lessons learned over twenty-five years and thousands of operations completed on some of the most vulnerable and precious among us, Wellons recounts in gripping detail the moments that have shaped him as a doctor, as a parent, and as the only hope for countless patients whose young lives are in his hands. Wellons shares scenes of his early days as the son of a military pilot, the years of grueling surgical training, and true stories of what it’s like to treat the brave children he meets on the threshold between life and death. From the little boy who arrived at the hospital near death from a gunshot wound to the head, to the eight-year-old whose shredded nerves were repaired using suture as fine as human hair, to the brave mother-to-be undergoing fetal spinal cord surgery, All That Moves Us is an unforgettable portrait of the countless human dramas that take place in a busy modern children’s hospital—and a meditation on the marvel of life as seen from under the white-hot lights of the operating room.

Title: The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor - the Truth and the Turmoil Author: Tina Brown Narrator: Tina Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 53 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.89 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 5 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. From the Queen's stoic resolve to the crisis of Meghan and Harry. From the ascendance of Camilla and Kate to the downfall of Andrew. Full of remarkable inside access, The Palace Papers by Sunday Times bestselling author Tina Brown will change how you understand the Royal Family. 'A brilliant book. Tina Brown has inside knowledge and writes so well' LADY ANNE GLENCONNER (author of Lady in Waiting) 'Never again', became Queen Elizabeth II's mantra shortly after Diana's death. More specifically, there could never be 'another Diana' - a member of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an existential threat to the British monarchy. Picking up where The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the traumatic years when Diana's blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet. Tina Brown takes readers on a tour de force journey that shows the Queen's stoic resolve as she coped with the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother and her partner for seven decades, Prince Philip, and triumphed in her Jubilee years even as the family dramas raged around her. She explores Prince Charles's determination to make Camilla his queen, the tension between William and Harry who are on 'different paths', the ascendance of Kate Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to 'step back' as senior royals. Despite the fragile monarchy's best efforts, 'never again' seems fast approaching. Praise for The Diana Chronicles: 'Unputdownable. . . extraordinary. . . allows us an unprecedented look at the world and mind of the most famous person on the planet.' Helen Mirren 'A blockbuster: a rollicking, page-turning, fast-quipping, gripping romp of a read. It is the work of a seasoned, serious journalist.'

Title: The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor--the Truth and the Turmoil Author: Tina Brown Narrator: Tina Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 11 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.26 of Total 38 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 10 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “addictively readable” (The Washington Post) inside story of the British royal family’s battle to overcome the dramas of the Diana years—only to confront new, twenty-first-century crises   “Frothy and forthright, a kind of Keeping Up with the Windsors with sprinkles of Keats.”—The New York Times (Notable Book of the Year) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Elle, Town & Country “Never again” became Queen Elizabeth II’s mantra shortly after Princess Diana’s tragic death. More specif­ically, there could never be “another Diana”—a mem­ber of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an existential threat to the Brit­ish monarchy. Picking up where Tina Brown’s masterful The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the trau­matic years when Diana’s blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet. Brown takes readers on a tour de force journey through the scandals, love affairs, power plays, and betrayals that have buffeted the monarchy over the last twenty-five years. We see the Queen’s stoic re­solve after the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and Prince Philip, her partner for seven decades, and how she triumphs in her Jubilee years even as family troubles rage around her. Brown explores Prince Charles’s determination to make Camilla Parker Bowles his wife, the tension between William and Harry on “different paths,” the ascend­ance of Kate Middleton, the downfall of Prince An­drew, and Harry and Meghan’s stunning decision to step back as senior royals. Despite the fragile monar­chy’s best efforts, “never again” seems fast approaching. Tina Brown has been observing and chronicling the British monarchy for three decades, and her sweeping account is full of powerful revelations, newly reported details, and searing insight gleaned from remarkable access to royal insiders. Stylish, witty, and erudite, The Palace Papers will irrevoca­bly change how the world perceives and under­stands the royal family.

Title: Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics Author: Lara Parker Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 39 minutes Release date: October 6, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: With unflinching honesty, Lara Parker, the Deputy Director for BuzzFeed, shares her day-to-day challenges of living, working, and loving with chronic pain caused by endometriosis in this raw, darkly humorous, and hopeful memoir. I wasn’t ready to be completely honest about my vagina yet, and the world wasn’t ready for that either. But I was getting there. I wanted the world to know that all of this pain I had been feeling…that it was related to my vagina. Thus, Vagina Problems was born. It was a cutesy name. It was my way of taking this pain and saying, “Whatever. I’m here. I have it. It sucks. Let’s talk about it.” In April 2014, Deputy Editorial Director at BuzzFeed Lara Parker opened up to the world in an article on the website: she suffers from endometriosis. And beyond that? She let the whole world know that she wasn’t having any sex, as sex was excruciatingly painful. Less than a year before, she received not only the diagnosis of endometriosis, but also a diagnosis of pelvic floor dysfunction, vulvodynia, vaginismus, and vulvar vestibulitis. Combined, these debilitating conditions have wreaked havoc on her life, causing excruciating pain throughout her body since she was fourteen years old. These are her Vagina Problems. It was five years before Lara learned what was happening to her body. Five years of doctors insisting she just had “bad period cramps,” or implying her pain was psychological. Shamed and stigmatized, Lara fought back against a medical community biased against women and discovered that the ignorance of many doctors about women’s anatomy was damaging more than just her own life. One in ten women have endometriosis and it takes an average of seven years before they receive an accurate diagnosis―or any relief from this incurable illness’ chronic pain. With candid revelations about her vaginal physical therapy, dating as a straight woman without penetrative sex, coping with painful seizures while at the office, diet and wardrobe malfunctions when your vagina hurts all the time, and the depression and anxiety of feeling unloved, Lara tackles it all in Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics with courage, wit, love, and a determination to live her best life.

Title: An American Covenant: A Story of Women, Mysticism, and the Making of Modern America Author: Lucile Scott Narrator: Nicol Zanzarella Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 5 minutes Release date: October 6, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A history of mystic resistance and liberation and of five women who transcended the expected to transform America. For centuries, women who emerge as mystic leaders have played vital roles in American culture. For just as long, they’ve been subjugated and ridiculed. Today, women and others across the nation are once again turning to their mystic powers to #HexThePatriarchy and help fight the forces that seem bent on relegating them to second-class citizenry. Amid this tumult, Lucile Scott looks to the past and the stories of five women over three centuries to form an ancestral spiritual coven: Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans; Cora L. V. Scott, nineteenth-century Spiritualist superstar; Helena Blavatsky, mother of Theosophy; Zsuzsanna Budapest, feminist witch and founder of Dianic Wicca; and Marianne Williamson, presidential candidate and preacher of the New Age Gospel of Love. Each, in their own ways, defied masculine preconceptions about power. A scathing queer feminist history and a personal quest for transcendence, An American Covenant opens our eyes to the paths forged by women who inspired the nation in their own times—and who will no longer be forgotten or silenced in ours.

Title: Diary of a Misfit: A Memoir and a Mystery Author: Casey Parks Narrator: Casey Parks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 39 minutes Release date: August 30, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2022 by The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, New York Public Library, Minneapolis Star Tribune Part memoir, part sweeping journalistic saga: As Casey Parks follows the mystery of a stranger's past, she is forced to reckon with her own sexuality, her fraught Southern identity, her tortured yet loving relationship with her mother, and the complicated role of faith in her life. 'Most moving is Parks’s depiction of a queer lineage, her assertion of an ancestry of outcasts, a tapestry of fellow misfits into which the marginalized will always, for better or worse, fit.' —The New York Times Book Review When Casey Parks came out as a lesbian in college back in 2002, she assumed her life in the South was over. Her mother shunned her, and her pastor asked God to kill her. But then Parks's grandmother, a stern conservative who grew up picking cotton, pulled her aside and revealed a startling secret. 'I grew up across the street from a woman who lived as a man,' and then implored Casey to find out what happened to him. Diary of a Misfit is the story of Parks's life-changing journey to unravel the mystery of Roy Hudgins, the small-town country singer from grandmother’s youth, all the while confronting ghosts of her own. For ten years, Parks traveled back to rural Louisiana and knocked on strangers’ doors, dug through nursing home records, and doggedly searched for Roy’s own diaries, trying to uncover what Roy was like as a person—what he felt; what he thought; and how he grappled with his sense of otherness. With an enormous heart and an unstinting sense of vulnerability, Parks writes about finding oneself through someone else’s story, and about forging connections across the gulfs that divide us.

Title: [Spanish] - La tierra de la gran promesa Author: Juan Villoro Narrator: José María De Tavira Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 30 minutes Release date: September 22, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: «Los relatos de Juan Villoro tienen ese raro poder no para asomarse al abismo sino para permanecer en el borde del abismo, durante mucho rato, balanceándose y por lo tanto haciéndonos balancear a nosotros sus lectores con movimientos que surgen de la duermevela o tal vez de una lucidez extrema». Roberto Bolaño Diego González es un documentalista que habla dormido. Está casado con una sonidista que trata de descifrar lo que dice en sueños. Se muda a Barcelona, pero el pasado lo alcanza como una pesadilla. La visita de un viejo conocido, el periodista Adalberto Anaya, trastoca su reciente tranquilidad. Anaya –quien ha vigilado a Diego durante años con la atención casi desmedida de un admirador– lo culpa de haber hecho un documental para entregar a un narco. Diego se ve obligado a lidiar con este enemigo que es, al mismo tiempo, su único aliado. La tierra de la gran promesa es una metáfora del México contemporáneo. Una lectura amplia sobre las entretelas de la corrupción y la vida íntima donde las verdades se pronuncian al dormir. Una reflexión sobre la forma en que el arte influye en la realidad y en que la realidad distorsiona al arte. Una novela tan política como personal que mantiene a Juan Villoro como un testigo excepcional de nuestro tiempo. La crítica ha dicho: «Villoro es uno de los escritores latinoamericanos que mejor piensan la literatura en este momento». Patricio Pron «Cuando ya a nadie se le ocurría ni preguntar si es posible escribir la gran novela mexicana, Villoro puso una en la mesa». Álvaro Enrigue, sobre El testigo «Villoro se identifica tan estrechamente con la Ciudad de México que es imposible imaginar cómo se puede conocer uno sin el otro, razón por la cual sus escritos emplean consistentemente el “nosotros” comunal». Los Angeles Times «Por esa combinación de cotidianidad y rareza, melancolía y humor, leemos a Villoro con avidez». Hugo Hiriart «Sé que a la hora de los fantasmas Villoro juraría como cuentista, pero lo tengo entre nuestros mejores críticos». Christopher Domínguez Michael «Un excepcional ensayista. Los ensayos de Villoro permiten volver a las obras discutidas con una mirada más amplia y renovada. De eso se trata». Edmundo Paz Soldán «Villoro cuenta sus aventuras con una mezcla de ironía y empatía, con sentido del humor y del absurdo. Está exquisitamente sintonizado con las contradicciones y matices de la capital y sabe escuchar a sus habitantes». The New York Times, sobre El vértigo horizontal Juan Villoro Wed, 22 Sep 2021 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548515 thebookvoice.com 13:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548515]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - La tierra de la gran promesa Author: Juan Villoro Narrator: José María De Tavira Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 30 minutes Release date: September 22, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: «Los relatos de Juan Villoro tienen ese raro poder no para asomarse al abismo sino para permanecer en el borde del abismo, durante mucho rato, balanceándose y por lo tanto haciéndonos balancear a nosotros sus lectores con movimientos que surgen de la duermevela o tal vez de una lucidez extrema». Roberto Bolaño Diego González es un documentalista que habla dormido. Está casado con una sonidista que trata de descifrar lo que dice en sueños. Se muda a Barcelona, pero el pasado lo alcanza como una pesadilla. La visita de un viejo conocido, el periodista Adalberto Anaya, trastoca su reciente tranquilidad. Anaya –quien ha vigilado a Diego durante años con la atención casi desmedida de un admirador– lo culpa de haber hecho un documental para entregar a un narco. Diego se ve obligado a lidiar con este enemigo que es, al mismo tiempo, su único aliado. La tierra de la gran promesa es una metáfora del México contemporáneo. Una lectura amplia sobre las entretelas de la corrupción y la vida íntima donde las verdades se pronuncian al dormir. Una reflexión sobre la forma en que el arte influye en la realidad y en que la realidad distorsiona al arte. Una novela tan política como personal que mantiene a Juan Villoro como un testigo excepcional de nuestro tiempo.

Title: A History of Water: Being an Account of a Murder, an Epic and Two Visions of Global History Author: Edward Wilson-Lee Narrator: Richard Trinder Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 22 minutes Release date: August 4, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A Times History Book of the Year 2022 A TLS Book of the Year 2022 ‘Exhilarating and whip-smart’ THE SUNDAY TIMES From award-winning writer Edward Wilson-Lee, this is a thrilling true historical detective story set in sixteenth-century Portugal. A History of Water follows the interconnected lives of two men across the Renaissance globe. One of them – an aficionado of mermen and Ethiopian culture, an art collector, historian and expert on water-music – returns home from witnessing the birth of the modern age to die in a mysterious incident, apparently the victim of a grisly and curious murder. The other – a ruffian, vagabond and braggart, chased across the globe from Mozambique to Japan – ends up as the national poet of Portugal. The stories of Damião de Góis and Luís de Camões capture the extraordinary wonders that awaited Europeans on their arrival in India and China, the challenges these marvels presented to longstanding beliefs, and the vast conspiracy to silence the questions these posed about the nature of history and of human life.

Emmanuel Iduma never met his uncle, his father’s favourite brother and the man for whom he is named. The elder Emmanuel left home in 1967 to fight in the Biafran War and was not seen again. The war lasted for three years, with young Igbo men volunteering to fight for a breakaway republic in the chaotic wake of British decolonization. Around one hundred thousand others who fought in the war share a fate like Emmanuel’s uncle, though there are no official records of these losses. The tensions that gave rise to the conflict remain live, threatening sometimes to bubble over. In this landscape, there are no monuments or graves. Instead, a collective remembering that remains, for the most part, silent. I Am Still with You sees a young Nigerian return to his place of birth. Travelling the route of the war, Iduma explores both a national history and the mysteries of his own family, finding both somewhat scarred and haunted, the memories warped by time and the darkest parts left for decades unspoken.

As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. He sang “Kumbaya” at church. And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth. But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril. And he is curious: What the hell happened? In this revelatory cri de coeur, McKibben digs deep into our history (and his own well-meaning but not all-seeing past) and into the latest scholarship on race and inequality in America, on the rise of the religious right, and on our environmental crisis to explain how we got to this point. He finds that he is not without hope. And he wonders if any of that trinity of his youth—The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon—could, or should, be reclaimed in the fight for a fairer future.

Title: George V: Never a Dull Moment Author: Jane Ridley Narrator: Joanna David Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 6 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From one of the most beloved and distinguished historians of the British monarchy, here is a lively, intimately detailed biography of a long-overlooked king who reimagined the Crown in the aftermath of World War I and whose marriage to the regal Queen Mary was an epic partnership The grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, King George V reigned over the British Empire from 1910 to 1936, a period of unprecedented international turbulence. Yet no one could deny that as a young man, George seemed uninspired. As his biographer Harold Nicolson famously put it, ''he did nothing at all but kill animals and stick in stamps.” The contrast between him and his flamboyant, hedonistic, playboy father Edward VII could hardly have been greater. However, though it lasted only a quarter-century, George’s reign was immensely consequential. He faced a constitutional crisis, the First World War, the fall of thirteen European monarchies and the rise of Bolshevism. The suffragette Emily Davison threw herself under his horse at the Derby, he refused asylum to his cousin the Tsar Nicholas II during the Russian Revolution, and he facilitated the first Labour government. And, as Jane Ridley shows, the modern British monarchy would not exist without George; he reinvented the institution, allowing it to survive and thrive when its very existence seemed doomed. The status of the British monarchy today, she argues, is due in large part to him. How this supposedly limited man managed to steer the crown through so many perils and adapt an essentially Victorian institution to the twentieth century is a great story in itself. But this book is also a riveting portrait of a royal marriage and family life. Queen Mary played a pivotal role in the reign as well as being an important figure in her own right. Under the couple's stewardship, the crown emerged stronger than ever. George V founded the modern monarchy, and yet his disastrous quarrel with his eldest son, the Duke of Windsor, culminated in the existential crisis of the Abdication only months after his death. Jane Ridley has had unprecedented access to the archives, and for the first time is able to reassess in full the many myths associated with this crucial and dramatic time. She brings us a royal family and world not long vanished, and not so far from our own.

Title: George V: Never a Dull Moment Author: Jane Ridley Narrator: Joanna David Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 6 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From one of the most beloved and distinguished historians of the British monarchy, here is a lively, intimately detailed biography of a long-overlooked king who reimagined the Crown in the aftermath of World War I and whose marriage to the regal Queen Mary was an epic partnership The grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, King George V reigned over the British Empire from 1910 to 1936, a period of unprecedented international turbulence. Yet no one could deny that as a young man, George seemed uninspired. As his biographer Harold Nicolson famously put it, ''he did nothing at all but kill animals and stick in stamps.” The contrast between him and his flamboyant, hedonistic, playboy father Edward VII could hardly have been greater. However, though it lasted only a quarter-century, George’s reign was immensely consequential. He faced a constitutional crisis, the First World War, the fall of thirteen European monarchies and the rise of Bolshevism. The suffragette Emily Davison threw herself under his horse at the Derby, he refused asylum to his cousin the Tsar Nicholas II during the Russian Revolution, and he facilitated the first Labour government. And, as Jane Ridley shows, the modern British monarchy would not exist without George; he reinvented the institution, allowing it to survive and thrive when its very existence seemed doomed. The status of the British monarchy today, she argues, is due in large part to him. How this supposedly limited man managed to steer the crown through so many perils and adapt an essentially Victorian institution to the twentieth century is a great story in itself. But this book is also a riveting portrait of a royal marriage and family life. Queen Mary played a pivotal role in the reign as well as being an important figure in her own right. Under the couple's stewardship, the crown emerged stronger than ever. George V founded the modern monarchy, and yet his disastrous quarrel with his eldest son, the Duke of Windsor, culminated in the existential crisis of the Abdication only months after his death. Jane Ridley has had unprecedented access to the archives, and for the first time is able to reassess in full the many myths associated with this crucial and dramatic time. She brings us a royal family and world not long vanished, and not so far from our own. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/548313]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Ante todo no hagas daño Author: Henry Marsh Narrator: Eugenio Barona Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: November 18, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: El eminente neurocirujano británico Henry Marsh expone a ojos del mundo la esencia de una de las especialidades médicas más difíciles, delicadas y fascinantes que existen. El resultado es este volumen que poco tiempo después de su publicación se encaramó a las listas de más vendidos del Sunday Times y el New York Times. Escogido «Mejor Libro del Año» por el Financial Times y The Economist, obtuvo los premios PEN Ackerley y South Bank Sky Arts y fue finalista del Costa Book Award, el Guardian First Book Award y el Samuel Johnson de no ficción. A los mandos de un microscopio ultrapotente y un catéter de alta precisión, el doctor Marsh se abre camino por los intersticios del cerebro. Con frecuencia, de su pericia y de su pulso dependen que un paciente recupere la visión o acabe en una silla de ruedas. Hay días en los que salva vidas, pero también hay jornadas nefastas en las que un pequeño error o una cadena de infortunios lo hacen sentirse el ser más desdichado sobre la faz de la Tierra. Mucho más cercano a una confesión personal que a una autobiografía complaciente con el autor, este libro -cuyo título se inspira en el juramento hipocrático- supone un auténtico alarde de valentía y de honestidad intelectual, un relato vibrante y luminoso que logra remover nuestros sentimientos más profundos y ensanchar nuestro umbral de sabiduría y compasión. La crítica ha dicho... «La neurociencia ha encontrado a su Boswell en Henry Marsh. [...] Un logro soberbio.» Ian McEwan «Increíblemente absorbente [...]. Una visión tan sincera que sorprende y asombra.» Bill Bryson «El doctorMarsh revisa su vocación de una forma íntima, compasiva y, a ratos, aterradora.» Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times «Ante todo, no hagas daño es un conjunto de elegantes reflexiones al final de una larga carrera. Algunas de las historias son lo bastante emotivas como parallevarnos hasta las lágrimas [...]. En el fondo, éste es un libro acerca de la sabiduría y la experiencia.» The Telegraph Henry Marsh Thu, 18 Nov 2021 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547660 thebookvoice.com 9:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/547660]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Latinx: En busca de las voces que redefinen la identidad latina Author: Paola Ramos Narrator: Juliette Restrepo, Paola Ramos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 30, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: El primer paso hacia el cambio es reconocer que nuestro poder nace de nuestra identidad.   Los jóvenes latinos en los Estados Unidos están redefiniendo su identidad, rompiendo moldes establecidos, y despertando políticamente de maneras sorprendentes y poderosas. Muchos de ellos—afrolatinos, indígenas, musulmanes, queer e indocumentados tanto en zonas urbanas como rurales—representan voces históricamente ignoradas en el modo en que la diversa población de casi seis millones de latinos en los Estados Unidos ha sido representada. Hasta ahora.   En esta inspiradora crónica de viaje de costa a costa, la periodista y activista Paola Ramos emprende una búsqueda de los individuos y comunidades que dan vida a un nuevo movimiento que esta definiendo el término controversial “Latinx”. Ramos nos presenta a un grupo de indígenas originarios de Oaxaca que ha reinventado la calle mayor de un pueblo industrial en el estado de Nueva York, a las “Las Poderosas”, que luchan por los derechos reproductivos en Texas, a unos músicos en Milwaukee que con sus ritmos confortan a otros sobre sus raíces... A lo largo de este viaje encontraremos también a activistas ambientales, trabajadores de campo, drag queens, e inmigrantes detenidos en la frontera. A partir de su trabajo periodístico sobre el terreno, así como de su historia personal, Ramos ilustra como el término “Latinx” ha dado paso a un sentimiento de pertenencia y solidaridad sin precedentes entre los latinos de este país.   Relevante e inspirador, Latinx nos invita a expandir nuestra conciencia de lo que significa ser latino y ser estadounidense, y como ambas identidades conviven dentro y fuera de esta comunidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Young Latinos across the United States are redefining their identities, pushing boundaries, and awakening politically in powerful and surprising ways. Many of them—Afrolatino, indigenous, Muslim, queer and undocumented, living in large cities and small towns—are voices who have been chronically overlooked in how the diverse population of almost sixty million Latinos in the U.S. has been represented. No longer. In this empowering cross-country travelogue, journalist and activist Paola Ramos embarks on a journey to find the communities of people defining the controversial term, “Latinx.” She introduces us to the indigenous Oaxacans who rebuilt the main street in a post-industrial town in upstate New York, the “Las Poderosas” who fight for reproductive rights in Texas, the musicians in Milwaukee whose beats reassure others of their belonging, as well as drag queens, environmental activists, farmworkers, and the migrants detained at our border. Drawing on intensive field research as well as her own personal story, Ramos chronicles how “Latinx” has given rise to a sense of collectivity and solidarity among Latinos unseen in this country for decades. A vital and inspiring work of reportage, Finding Latinx calls on all of us to expand our understanding of what it means to be Latino and what it means to be American. The first step towards change, writes Ramos, is for us to recognize who we are.

Title: Agent Twister: John Stonehouse and the Scandal that Gripped the Nation – A True Story Author: Philip Augar, Keely Winstone Narrator: Gareth Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: May 30, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: He lived a double-life in the sixties Faked his own death in the seventies And retained his cover in the eighties   A period thriller with powerful political and espionage themes, Agent Twister is the remarkable story behind one of the greatest scandals of the 1970s, told in full for the first time. If you think you know the true story of John Stonehouse – think again. It’s November 1974 and John Stonehouse MP, once a star in Harold Wilson’s Labour government, is missing in Miami, presumed drowned. His disappearance exposes the most lurid details of his life, including identity fraud, corporate corruption, a love triangle, blackmail, links with the Mafia and a decade-long career as a Soviet spy. The public are gripped by this story, happy to forget the strikes, IRA bombs and rising prices that are making daily life a misery.    On Christmas Eve, Stonehouse is tracked down in Melbourne, Australia, where he is suspected of being that other missing Englishman, Lord Lucan. The comic absurdity of the story is offset by claims of a mental breakdown and a refusal to resign as an MP, even when he is extradited back to the UK and up on charges at the Old Bailey. For the first time, Agent Twister reveals the corporate crimes at the heart of Stonehouse’s business empire, the true extent of his ten-year collusion with powerful Soviet proxies and the political consequences of his antics. It’s a scandal greater than Profumo that lay buried for thirty years, with three prime ministers – Wilson, Callaghan and Thatcher – covering it up for very different reasons.   Written by the makers of the Channel Four documentary The Spy Who Died Twice, Agent Twister is the first impartial account to put this extraordinary scandal in political context and reveal why John Stonehouse really disappeared.

Title: Lost in the Valley of Death: A Story of Obsession and Danger in the Himalayas Author: Harley Rustad Narrator: Harley Rustad Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 41 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.17 of Total 6 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In the vein of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, a riveting work of narrative nonfiction centering on the unsolved disappearance of an American backpacker in India—one of at least two dozen tourists who have met a similar fate in the remote and storied Parvati Valley. For centuries, India has enthralled westerners looking for an exotic getaway, a brief immersion in yoga and meditation, or in rare cases, a true pilgrimage to find spiritual revelation. Justin Alexander Shetler, an inveterate traveler trained in wilderness survival, was one such seeker. In his early thirties Justin Alexander Shetler quit his job at a tech startup and set out on a global journey: across the United States by motorcycle, then down to South America, and on to the Philippines, Thailand, and Nepal, in search of authentic experiences and meaningful encounters, while also documenting his travels on Instagram. His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. But the ever restless explorer was driven to seek out ever greater extremes, and greater risks, in what had become a personal quest—his own hero’s journey. In 2016, he made his way to the Parvati Valley, a remote and rugged corner of the Indian Himalayas steeped in mystical tradition yet shrouded in darkness and danger. There, he spent weeks studying under the guidance of a sadhu, an Indian holy man, living and meditating in a cave. At the end of August, accompanied by the sadhu, he set off on a “spiritual journey” to a holy lake—a journey from which he would never return. Lost in the Valley of Death is about one man’s search to find himself, in a country where for many westerners the path to spiritual enlightenment can prove fraught, even treacherous. But it is also a story about all of us and the ways, sometimes extreme, we seek fulfillment in life.

Title: Lost in the Valley of Death: A Story of Obsession and Danger in the Himalayas Author: Harley Rustad Narrator: Harley Rustad Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 41 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.17 of Total 6 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In the vein of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, a riveting work of narrative nonfiction centering on the unsolved disappearance of an American backpacker in India—one of at least two dozen tourists who have met a similar fate in the remote and storied Parvati Valley. For centuries, India has enthralled westerners looking for an exotic getaway, a brief immersion in yoga and meditation, or in rare cases, a true pilgrimage to find spiritual revelation. Justin Alexander Shetler, an inveterate traveler trained in wilderness survival, was one such seeker. In his early thirties Justin Alexander Shetler quit his job at a tech startup and set out on a global journey: across the United States by motorcycle, then down to South America, and on to the Philippines, Thailand, and Nepal, in search of authentic experiences and meaningful encounters, while also documenting his travels on Instagram. His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. But the ever restless explorer was driven to seek out ever greater extremes, and greater risks, in what had become a personal quest—his own hero’s journey. In 2016, he made his way to the Parvati Valley, a remote and rugged corner of the Indian Himalayas steeped in mystical tradition yet shrouded in darkness and danger. There, he spent weeks studying under the guidance of a sadhu, an Indian holy man, living and meditating in a cave. At the end of August, accompanied by the sadhu, he set off on a “spiritual journey” to a holy lake—a journey from which he would never return. Lost in the Valley of Death is about one man’s search to find himself, in a country where for many westerners the path to spiritual enlightenment can prove fraught, even treacherous. But it is also a story about all of us and the ways, sometimes extreme, we seek fulfillment in life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546795 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546795]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Fatherland: A Memoir of War, Conscience and Family Secrets Author: Burkhard Bilger Narrator: Burkhard Bilger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 59 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A New Yorker staff writer, investigates his grandfather, a Nazi Party Chief, in this 'unflinching, gorgeously written, and deeply moving exploration of morality, family, and war” (Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Empire of Pain) ‘The book we need right now’ Atul Gawande, author of Being Mortal What do we owe the past? How to make peace with a dark family history? Burkhard Bilger hardly knew his grandfather growing up. His parents immigrated to Oklahoma from Germany after World War II, and though his mother was an historian, she rarely talked about her father or what he did during the war. Then one day a packet of letters arrived from Germany, yellowing with age, and a secret history began to unfold. Karl Gönner was a schoolteacher and Nazi party member from the Black Forest. In 1940, he was sent to a village in occupied France and tasked with turning its children into proper Germans. A fervent Nazi when the war began, he grew close to the villagers over the next four years, till he came to think of himself as their protector, shielding them from his own party’s brutality. Yet he was arrested in 1946 and accused of war crimes. Was he guilty or innocent? A vicious collaborator or just an ordinary man, struggling to atone for his country’s crimes? Bilger goes to Germany to find out. What follows is a literary suspense story: a tale of chance encounters and serendipitous discoveries in villages and dusty archives across Germany and France. Intimate and far-reaching, Fatherland is an extraordinary odyssey through the great upheavals of the past century, tracing one family’s path through history’s wreckage. For readers of Bart van Es’s The Cut Out Girl or Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with the Amber Eyes, this is a story of middle lands, torn allegiances and loaded family inheritance.

Title: Righteous Troublemakers: Untold Stories of the Social Justice Movement in America Author: Al Sharpton Narrator: Al Sharpton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “This is the time. We won’t stop until we change the whole system of justice.” —Reverend Al Sharpton In the summer of 2020, Reverend Al Sharpton stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, preparing to give the keynote address of theGet Your Knee Off Our NecksCommitment March. He noticed an older man in the crowd wearing a button from Dr. King’s 1963 march. The man told Sharpton that he had, in fact, been to the original March on Washington. “And,” he said, “I’ll keep coming back until we see justice.” While the mainstream media may know the major names of the movement, there are countless lesser-known heroes like this man who “keep coming back,” fighting the good fight to advance equal justice for all. Whether working in civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQIA rights, or in environmental justice, they heed the call when no one else is listening, often risking their lives and livelihoods in the process. Righteous Troublemakers shines a light on everyday people called to do extraordinary things—like Pauli Murray, whose early work inspired Thurgood Marshall, Claudette Colvin, who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus months before Rosa Parks did the same, and Gwen Carr, whose private pain in losing her son Eric Garner stoked her public activism against police brutality. Sharpton also gives his personal take on more widely known individuals, revealing overlooked details, historical connections, and a perspective informed by years of working in the social justice movement. At the same time, this book details the tumultuous year following George Floyd’s murder, with Sharpton delivering an up close and personal look at the behind-the-scenes work that forced today’s national reckoning on race. Here, he reveals his relationship with the Floyd family, the emotional moments that impacted him most, and why his work—and ours—isn’t finished, all while offering timeless lessons about the enduring strength and moral courage of the American people. For anyone who wants to be a changemaker or believes that truth and justice are worthwhile pursuits, Righteous Troublemakers is as inspirational as it is essential. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. Also, don't miss Reverend Sharpton's previous book, Rise Up: Confronting a Country at the Crossroads.

Title: Walk with Me: A Biography of Fannie Lou Hamer Author: Kate Clifford Larson Narrator: Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 18, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: She was born the 20th child in a family that had lived in the Mississippi Delta for generations, first as enslaved people and then as sharecroppers. She left school at 12 to pick cotton, as those before her had done, in a world in which white supremacy was an unassailable citadel. She was subjected without her consent to an operation that deprived her of children. And she was denied the most basic of all rights in America—the right to cast a ballot—in a state in which Blacks constituted nearly half the population.And so Fannie Lou Hamer lifted up her voice. Starting in the early 1960s and until her death in 1977, she was an irresistible force, not merely joining the swelling wave of change brought by civil rights but keeping it in motion. Working with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which recruited her to help with voter-registration drives, Hamer became a community organizer, women's rights activist, and co-founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. She summoned and used what she had against the citadel—her anger, her courage, her faith in the Bible, and her conviction that hearts could be won over and injustice overcome. She used her brutal beating at the hands of Mississippi police, an ordeal from which she never fully recovered, as the basis of a televised speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention, a speech that the mainstream party—including its standard-bearer, President Lyndon Johnson—tried to contain. But Fannie Lou Hamer would not be held back. For those whose lives she touched and transformed, for those who heard and followed her voice, she was the embodiment of protest, perseverance, and, most of all, the potential for revolutionary change.Kate Clifford Larson's biography of Fannie Lou Hamer is the most complete ever written, drawing on recently declassified sources on both Hamer and the civil rights movement, including unredacted FBI and Department of Justice files. It also makes full use of interviews with Civil Rights activists conducted by the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, and Democratic National Committee archives, in addition to extensive conversations with Hamer's family and with those with whom she worked most closely. Stirring, immersive, and authoritative, Walk with Me does justice to Fannie Lou Hamer's life, capturing in full the spirit, and the voice, that led the fight for freedom and equality in America at its critical moment.'This biography of Fannie Lou Hamer, the civil-rights advocate who challenged Mississippi segregationists with her powerful oratory and 'unforgettable' singing, places grassroots organizing by women at the heart of the battle for Black enfranchisement.'—The New Yorker Kate Clifford Larson Tue, 18 Jan 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546481 thebookvoice.com 13:37:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546481]]> to listen full audiobooks.

And she was denied the most basic of all rights in America—the right to cast a ballot—in a state in which Blacks constituted nearly half the population.And so Fannie Lou Hamer lifted up her voice. Starting in the early 1960s and until her death in 1977, she was an irresistible force, not merely joining the swelling wave of change brought by civil rights but keeping it in motion. Working with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which recruited her to help with voter-registration drives, Hamer became a community organizer, women's rights activist, and co-founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. She summoned and used what she had against the citadel—her anger, her courage, her faith in the Bible, and her conviction that hearts could be won over and injustice overcome. She used her brutal beating at the hands of Mississippi police, an ordeal from which she never fully recovered, as the basis of a televised speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention, a speech that the mainstream party—including its standard-bearer, President Lyndon Johnson—tried to contain. But Fannie Lou Hamer would not be held back. For those whose lives she touched and transformed, for those who heard and followed her voice, she was the embodiment of protest, perseverance, and, most of all, the potential for revolutionary change.Kate Clifford Larson's biography of Fannie Lou Hamer is the most complete ever written, drawing on recently declassified sources on both Hamer and the civil rights movement, including unredacted FBI and Department of Justice files. It also makes full use of interviews with Civil Rights activists conducted by the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, and Democratic National Committee archives, in addition to extensive conversations with Hamer's family and with those with whom she worked most closely. Stirring, immersive, and authoritative, Walk with Me does justice to Fannie Lou Hamer's life, capturing in full the spirit, and the voice, that led the fight for freedom and equality in America at its critical moment.'This biography of Fannie Lou Hamer, the civil-rights advocate who challenged Mississippi segregationists with her powerful oratory and 'unforgettable' singing, places grassroots organizing by women at the heart of the battle for Black enfranchisement.'—The New Yorker Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/546481]]> to listen full audiobooks.

She left school at 12 to pick cotton, as those before her had done, in a world in which white supremacy was an unassailable citadel.

Title: Metternich: Strategist and Visionary Author: Wolfram Siemann Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 36 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 14, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Metternich has a reputation as the epitome of reactionary conservatism. Historians treat him as the archenemy of progress, a ruthless aristocrat who used his power as the dominant European statesman of the first half of the nineteenth century to stifle liberalism, suppress national independence, and oppose the dreams of social change that inspired the revolutionaries of 1848. Wolfram Siemann paints a fundamentally new image of the man who shaped Europe for over four decades. He reveals Metternich as more modern and his career much more forward-looking than we have ever recognized. Clemens von Metternich emerged from the horrors of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, Siemann shows, committed above all to the preservation of peace. That often required him, as the Austrian Empire's foreign minister and chancellor, to back authority. He was, as Henry Kissinger has observed, the father of realpolitik. But short of compromising on his overarching goal Metternich aimed to accommodate liberalism and nationalism as much as possible. Siemann draws on previously unexamined archives to bring this multilayered and dazzling man to life.

Title: Mystery School in Hyperspace: A Cultural History of DMT Author: Graham St John Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 44 minutes Release date: December 31, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Since the mid-1950s, the psychoactive compound DMT has attracted the attention of experimentalists, prohibitionists, scientists, artists, alchemists, and hyperspace emissaries. Mystery School in Hyperspace is the first book to delve into the history of this substance, the discovery of its properties, and the impact it has had on poets, artists, and musicians. DMT has appeared at crucial junctures in countercultural history. William Burroughs was jacking the spice in Tangier at the turn of the 1960s. It was present at the meeting between Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and Tim Leary's associates. It guided the inception of the Grateful Dead in 1965. It showed up in Berkeley in the same year, falling into the hands of Terence McKenna, who would eventually become its champion in the post-rave neo-psychedelic movement of the 1990s. Its indole vapor drifted through Portugal's Boom Festival and has been evident at Nevada's Burning Man, where DMT has been adopted as spiritual technology supplying shape, color, and depth to a visionary art movement. The growing prevalence of use is evident in a vast networked independent research culture, and in its impact on fiction, film, music, and metaphysics. As this book traces the effect of DMT's release into the cultural bloodstream, the results should be of great interest to contemporary audiences.

Title: Nothing Will Be Different: A Memoir Author: Tara Mcgowan-Ross Narrator: Nicol Zanzarella Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 53 minutes Release date: November 23, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A neurotic party girl's coming-of-age memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die. Tara has it pretty good: a nice job, a writing career, a forgiving boyfriend. She should be happy. Yet Tara can't stay sober. She's terrible at monogamy. Even her psychiatrist grows sick of her and stops returning her calls. She spends most of her time putting out social fires, barely pulling things off, and feeling sick and tired. Then, in the autumn following her twenty-seventh birthday, an abnormal lump discovered in her left breast serves as the catalyst for a journey of rigorous self-questioning. Waiting on a diagnosis, she begins an intellectual assessment of her life, desperate to justify a short existence full of dumb choices. Armed with her philosophy degree and angry determination, she attacks each issue in her life as the days creep by and winds up writing a searingly honest memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die.

Title: The Strong Black Woman: How a Myth Endangers the Physical and Mental Health of Black Women Author: Marita Golden Narrator: Diana Blue Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 26, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The Strong Black Woman Syndrome. For generations, in response to systemic racism, Black women and African American culture created the persona of the Strong Black Woman, a woman who, motivated by service and sacrifice, handles, manages, and overcomes any problem, any obstacle. The syndrome calls on Black women to be the problem-solvers and chief caretakers for everyone in their lives. Never buckling, never feeling vulnerable, and never bothering with their pain. Black women face a hidden mental health crisis of anxiety and depression. To be a Black woman in America is to know that you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, that your value is consistently questioned, and that even being 'twice as good' is often not good enough. Consequently, Black women disproportionately experience anxiety and depression. Studies now conclusively connect racism and mental health—and physical health. Time to take care of your emotional health. Because you deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love. More and more young Black women are re-examining the Strong Black Woman syndrome and engaging in self-care practices that positively change their lives.

Title: Patient 1: Forgetting and Finding Myself Author: Charlotte Raven, Edward Wild Narrator: Dr Ed Wild, Anna Wilson-Jones Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: November 4, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Charlotte Raven had never heard of Huntington's Disease when, in her mid-thirties, she discovered that her father was suffering from the illness. Life for her and her young family would never be the same again. Patient 1 is her brutally candid account of coming to terms with this inherited neurodegenerative disease, which can manifest at any time in life for people who carry the faulty gene. As the illness began to take hold of Raven's body, mind and memory, she began to write. She wrote like her life depended on it - and in many ways she believed it did. Frank and fearless, Patient 1 is an act of self-preservation and a kind of reckoning: with the illness, with the person she once was, with the person she is now. In an afterword, Raven's doctor Ed Wild - one of the country's leading experts in Huntington's - explains how doctors and patients like Charlotte are working together in the hope of one day eliminating this disease altogether. Honest, intelligent and unsentimental, Patient 1 is a startling self-portrait written with wit and vulnerability, and a unique testament to the power of hope in the face of illness. © Charlotte Raven 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Charlotte Raven, Edward Wild Thu, 04 Nov 2021 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/545352 thebookvoice.com 5:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/545352]]> to listen full audiobooks.

From Richard Nixon’s “You-won’t-have-Nixon-to-kick-around-anymore” 1962 gubernatorial campaign through his world-changing trips to China and the Soviet Union and epic downfall, Dwight Chapin was by his side. As his personal aide and then Deputy Assistant in the White House Chapin was with him in his most private and most public moments. He traveled with him, assisted, advised, strategized, campaigned and learned from America’s most controversial president. As Bob Haldeman’s protege, Chapin worked with Henry Kissinger in opening China—then eventually went to prison for Watergate although he had no involvement in it. In this memoir Chapin takes readers on an extraordinary historic journey; presenting an insider’s view of America’s most enigmatic President. Chapin will relate his memorable experiences with the people who shaped the future: Henry Kissinger, his close friend Bob Haldeman, Choi En-lai, Pat Nixon, the embittered Spiro Agnew, J. Edgar Hoover, Frank Sinatra, Mark ''Deep Throat'' Felt, young and ambitious Roger Ailes, and John Dean. It’s a story that ranges from Coretta Scott King to Elvis Presley, from the wonder of entering a closed Chinese society to the Oval Office, and concludes with startling new insights and conclusions about the break-in that brought down Nixon’s presidency.

Title: Alien Nation: 36 True Tales of Immigration Author: Sofija Stefanovic Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller, Feodor Chin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A collection of 36 extraordinary stories originally told on stage, featuring work by writers, entertainers, thinkers, and community leaders. Spanning comedy and tragedy, Alien Nation brilliantly illuminates what it’s like to be an immigrant in America. America would not be America without its immigrants. This anthology, adapted from storytelling event “This Alien Nation,” captures firsthand the past and present of immigration in all its humor, pain, and weirdness. Contributors—some well-known, others regular (and fascinating) people—share moments from their lives, reminding us that immigration is not just a word dropped in the news (simplified to something you are “for” or “against”), but a world—rich with unique voices, perspectives, and experiences. Travel from the Central Park playground where “tattle-tales” among nannies inspire Christine Lewis’s activism to an Alexandrian garden half a century ago courtesy of writer André Aciman. Visit a refugee camp in Gaza as described by actress and comedian Maysoon Zayid, and follow Intersex activist Tatenda Ngwaru as she flees Zimbabwe with dreams of meeting Oprah. Witness efforts from comedian Aparna Nancherla's mother to make Aparna less shy, and Orange is the New Black's Laura Gómez makes an unlikely connection in a bed-and-breakfast.  Compelling and inspirational, Alien Nation is a celebration of immigration and an exploration of culture shock, isolation and community, loneliness and hope, heartbreak and promise—it’s a poignant reminder of our shared humanity at a time we need it greatly, and a thoughtful, entertaining tribute to cultural diversity. Whether you're an immigrant yourself or simply interested in the history and culture of immigration in the United States, Alien Nation by Sofija Stefanovic is a must-read. This anthology of stories and essays offers a diverse and nuanced look at the immigrant experience, with contributions from writers of color, LGBTQ authors, and undocumented immigrants.

Title: Lest We Forget: A Doctor’s Experience with Life and Death During the Ebola Outbreak Author: Kwan Kew Lai Narrator: Raechel Wong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 33 minutes Release date: November 16, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In 2014 after fighting through yards of bureaucratic red tape, leaving her family, and putting her own health at risk in order to help suffering strangers, Kwan Kew Lai finally arrived in Africa to volunteer as an infectious disease specialist in the heart of the largest Ebola outbreak in history. What she found was not only blistering heat, inhospitable working conditions, and deadly, unrelenting illness, but hope, resilience, and incredible courage. Lest We Forget chronicles the harrowing and inspiring time spent serving on the front lines of the ongoing Ebola outbreak—the complicated Personal Protective Equipment, the chlorine-scented air, the tropical heat, and the heartbreaking difficulties of treating patients she could not touch. Dr. Lai interweaves original diary entries to create a gripping narrative about life, death, and human relationships that will leave no listener unmoved. Lest We Forget exposes the raw brutality of Ebola, as well as the chaotic nature of the undersupplied and understaffed health infrastructure in the developing world. At once a memoir of triumphs and failures and a memorial, this book will ensure that the victims of Ebola and the fighters who sought to heal them will not be forgotten.

Title: Hudson Bay Bound: Two Women, One Dog, Two Thousand Miles to the Arctic Author: Natalie Warren Narrator: Warren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 16, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The remarkable eighty-five-day journey of the first two women to canoe the 2,000-mile route from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay Unrelenting winds, carnivorous polar bears, snake nests, sweltering heat, and constant hunger. Paddling from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay, following the 2,000-mile route made famous by Eric Sevareid in his 1935 classic Canoeing with the Cree, Natalie Warren and Ann Raiho faced unexpected trials, some harrowing, some simply odd. Warren's spellbinding account retraces the women's journey from inspiration to Arctic waters, giving listeners an insider view of planning a three-month canoe expedition to the successful accomplishment of the adventure of a lifetime. Along the route we meet the people who live and work on the waterways, including denizens of a resort who supply much-needed sustenance; a solitary resident in the wilderness who helps plug a leak; and the people of the Cree First Nation at Norway House, where the canoeists acquire a furry companion. Describing the tensions that erupt between the women and the natural and human-made phenomena they encounter, Warren brings us into her experience, and we join these modern women (and their dog) as they recreate this historic trip, including the pleasures and perils, the sexism, the social and environmental implications, and the enduring wonder of the wilderness.

Title: [German] - Die Erb-Pleite (Ungekürzt): Wie die Besitzerfamilie mit Spekulationen ein blühendes Unternehmen ruinierte Author: Thomas Buomberger Narrator: Wolfgang Höltzel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 59 minutes Release date: February 19, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Aufstieg und Fall der Erb-Familie - spannend und realistisch erzählt. Dass die Realität manchmal die besten Drehbücher schreibt, zeigt die Pleite der Erb-Gruppe aus Winterthur, einer der spektakulärsten Firmenzusammenbrüche der Schweizer Nachkriegsgeschichte. Der Aufstieg des Schweizer Vorzeige-Unternehmens begann, als der Metallarbeiter Hugo Erb seinem Vater eine schwächelnde Autowerkstatt abkaufte. Mit Geschick und Fleiß baute er diese zu einem Konzern mit fast 3,2 Milliarden Euro Jahresumsatz aus. Kurz nach Erbs Tod brach das inzwischen von den Söhnen Rolf und Christian geleitete Unternehmen im Dezember 2003 zusammen. Die Ursachen für den Firmenzusammenbruch sind das Fehlen von zeitgemäßen Managementstrukturen, misslungene Spekulationen, die Gutgläubigkeit und Naivität der Banken sowie eine übertriebene Geheimnistuerei der Erb-Familie. Den Crash verursachte letztlich die Beteiligung an der Kölner Immobilienfirma CBB. Insgesamt flossen in den letzten Jahren 800 Millionen Euro aus der Erb-Gruppe in dieses hoch verschuldete Unternehmen, das nach der Wende vor allem in Immobilien im Osten Deutschlands und Berlin investierte. Thomas Buomberger zeigt, wie die allein agierenden Erbs mit riskanten Anlagen und Devisenspekulationen ihr blühendes Unternehmen in den Abgrund trieben. Aufgrund von Aussagen aus dem nächsten Umfeld und brisanten Dokumenten kommt die Tragik dieser Firmenpleite auf besonders drastische Weise zum Ausdruck. Thomas Buomberger, 1952 geboren, ist promovierter Historiker. Er arbeitete unter anderem in verschiedenen Funktionen beim Schweizer Fernsehen DRS und ist heute als Journalist für diverse Printmedien und als freier Autor tätig.

Title: [German] - Stauffenberg - mein Großvater war kein Attentäter Author: Sophie Von Bechtolsheim Narrator: Ulla Wagener Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 5, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Ein einzigartiger Blick auf eine Zentralfigur der neueren deutschen Geschichte. Wer von Attentätern hört, der denkt an Terroristen, die aus einer fanatischen Ideologie heraus Angst und Schrecken verbreiten wollen. Nichts davon trifft auf Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg zu. Stauffenberg und sein gescheiterter Versuch, den nationalsozialistischen Wahnsinn zu stoppen, sind zu einem Mythos geworden. Allerdings basiert der inzwischen abenteuerliche Gegenentwurf auf schwachen Fakten. Der wirkliche Mensch Stauffenberg in seiner Vielfalt tritt hinter all diesen Zuschreibungen zurück. Sophie von Bechtolsheim erzählt erstmals von den zahlreichen Stauffenberg-Bildern, die ihr im Laufe ihres Lebens begegnet sind – in der Wissenschaft, in den Medien, aber vor allem in der Familie. Ein Buch über den Mann, der es mit Hitler aufnahm – wie er wirklich war.

Title: [German] - Stauffenberg - mein Großvater war kein Attentäter Author: Sophie Von Bechtolsheim Narrator: Ulla Wagener Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 5, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Ein einzigartiger Blick auf eine Zentralfigur der neueren deutschen Geschichte. Wer von Attentätern hört, der denkt an Terroristen, die aus einer fanatischen Ideologie heraus Angst und Schrecken verbreiten wollen. Nichts davon trifft auf Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg zu. Stauffenberg und sein gescheiterter Versuch, den nationalsozialistischen Wahnsinn zu stoppen, sind zu einem Mythos geworden. Allerdings basiert der inzwischen abenteuerliche Gegenentwurf auf schwachen Fakten. Der wirkliche Mensch Stauffenberg in seiner Vielfalt tritt hinter all diesen Zuschreibungen zurück.

Title: [German] - Lion - Mein langer Weg nach Hause (Ungekürzt) Author: Saroo Brierley Narrator: Frank Stieren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 1, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Wie ich als Fünfjähriger verloren ging und fünfundzwanzig Jahre später meine Familie wiederfand. Ein modernes Märchen Es ist ein Tag wie jeder andere im Leben des fünfjährigen Saroo: Auf dem Bahnhof einer indischen Kleinstadt sucht er nach Münzen und Essensresten. Schließlich schläft er vor Erschöpfung in einem wartenden Zug ein. Der fährt den kleinen Jungen ans andere Ende von Indien, nach Kalkutta. Völlig alleine an einem der gefährlichsten Orte der Welt schlägt er sich wochenlang auf der Straße durch, landet im Waisenhaus und gelangt so zu den Brierleys, die Saroo ein neues Zuhause in Australien schenken. Fünfundzwanzig Jahre später macht sich Saroo mit Hilfe von Google Earth auf die Suche nach seiner leiblichen Familie. Am Bildschirm fährt er Nacht für Nacht das Zugnetz von Indien ab. Das Unglaubliche passiert: Er findet ein Dorf, das dem Bild in seiner Erinnerung entspricht - und macht sich auf den Weg ...

Title: [German] - Karl der Große (Ungekürzt) Author: Roland Pauler Narrator: Wolfgang Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Karl der Große gehört zu den bekanntesten historischen Persönlichkeiten des Abendlandes. Er gilt als Vater Europas. Selbst verstand er sich als Erneuerer des Römischen Reiches und somit direkten Nachfolger der römischen Kaiser. Welche Voraussetzungen führten zur Kaiserkrönung des Karolingers? Warum gilt der fränkische König als Wegbereiter des vereinten Europas? Wie gestaltete sich das Privatleben dieses 'konservativen Reformpolitikers', der zwar versuchte, die Unterdrückung der Armen durch die Mächtigen zu lindern, den man heute aber ebenso als brutalen Kriegsherrn sehen würde? Kenntnisreich und anschaulich zeichnet Roland Pauler die Schritte Karls zur Kaiserkrönung nach. Der Weg führt dabei vom antiken Rom in die heilige Stadt des Jahres 800.

Title: [German] - Caesar im Senat niedergestochen! (Ungekürzt) Author: Martin Held Narrator: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 14 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Immer wieder markieren Attentate und politische Morde Wendepunkte in der Geschichte. Doch kaum eines dieser Verbrechen ist so berühmt geworden wie die Tötung Julius Caesars in den Iden des März im Jahre 44 v. Chr. Während einer routinemäßigen Senatssitzung wird Caesar von einer Gruppe von Männern attackiert, umstellt und niedergestochen. Wer waren die Feinde des Herrschers? Wie fanden Sie zusammen, und wie entstand der Plan zu diesem Mord? Wie gingen die Verschwörer vor, wie war der Hergang des Geschehens wirklich? Und was waren die Konsequenzen - für Rom, für das Reich, für den weiteren Verlauf der Geschichte ? All diesen Fragen geht Martin Held in seinem Hörbuch nach und bereitet die Vorgänge so knapp wie präzise und lebhaft auf. Dabei entsteht ein politischer Krimi, der bis heute ungemein spannend ist!

Title: [German] - Hatschepsut (Ungekürzt) Author: Marianne Schnittger Narrator: Marianne Schnittger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 30 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Hatschepsut ist eine der faszinierendsten und geheimnisvollsten Herrschergestalten des Alten Ägypten. Die Tochter des Pharaos Thutmosis I. herrschte mehr als 20 Jahre lang als Königin, genauer: als Pharao. Denn dies ist das Besondere an Hatschepsut: Sie regierte keineswegs 'als Frau' oder 'Königin' - diesen Titel gab es im Alten Ägypten gar nicht. Bekannt sind vor allem die großen Bauwerke, die Hatschepsut errichten ließ, an erster Stelle ihr Totentempel in Deir el-Bahari, direkt neben dem Grab Mentuhoteps. Als Baumeisterin war sie auch im Amun-Tempel von Karnak tätig; die rundplastischen Bildnisse zeigen sie zunächst noch als Frau, später setzt sich dann die ausschließliche Darstellung als Mann durch. Marianne Schnittger zeichnet in ihrem Hörbuch das Leben dieser Herrschergestalt nach und rückt sie in das Licht ihrer Zeitumstände.

Title: [German] - Mohammed - Leben und Wirkung (Ungekürzt) Author: Marco Schöller Narrator: Thomas Krause Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 9 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Als Stifter einer der großen Weltreligionen ist Mohammed immer wieder vereinnahmt worden, von Muslimen wie von Nichtmuslimen. Heilsbringer und Lügenprophet, Genie und Fanatiker, Vermittler und Verführer, liebender Ehemann und strenger Richter: Lebensbild und Nachwirken dieser Persönlichkeit sind weit facettenreicher, als sie uns in vielen Darstellungen entgegentreten. Marco Schöller, Experte für islamisch-arabische Geistes-, Kultur- und Mentalitätsgeschichte, begibt sich auf die Spuren des Propheten und der Wirkung seines Schaffens. Dabei hat er stets das Bild im Blick, das die westliche Welt sich von Mohammed gemacht hat: Im Mittelalter als Häretiker, in der Neuzeit als Eiferer und Verführer beschimpft, wird er heute häufig als Symbolfigur einer Religion gesehen, die mit den westlichen Werten schwer vereinbar zu sein scheint. Sachlich und kenntnisreich, kritisch und gerecht korrigiert Schöller diese Zerrbilder und gibt den Blick frei auf eine widersprüchliche und faszinierende Gestalt.

Title: [German] - Cicero (Ungekürzt) Author: Klaus Bringmann Narrator: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 21 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Marcus Tullius Cicero ist eine der faszinierendsten Persönlichkeiten der späten römischen Republik. Wie kaum ein anderer verkörperte er die klassischen Ideale der altrömischen Tugenden - und geriet gerade deswegen in den Strudel der untergehenden republikanischen Ordnung. Die Idealvorstellungen des römischen Staates sah er gefährdet durch sozialrevolutionäre Politiker wie Catilina und wurde damit automatisch zum Gegenspieler Caesars. Als dieser ermordet wurde, jubelte er - und ahnte zu spät, dass er wieder auf der falschen Seite stand: Im Bürgerkrieg gegen die Caesarmörder wurde er eines der ersten Opfer der Proskriptionen. Klaus Bringmann erzählt jedoch nicht nur von Ciceros Verwicklungen in die Auseinandersetzungen seiner Zeit als Redner und Politiker, sondern stellt auch sein umfangreiches schriftliches Werk vor, das neben politischen Ideen auch seine privaten Eindrücke und Gedanken widerspiegelt und den Menschen Cicero erkennen hilft.

Title: [German] - Augustus (Ungekürzt) Author: Klaus Bringmann Narrator: Wolfgang Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 32 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Klaus Bringmann, einer der renommiertesten deutschen Althistoriker und Kenner der römischen Geschichte, schildert in diesem spannenden biographischen Hörbuch die widersprüchlichste Gestalt der römischen Geschichte. Augustus stieß das Tor auf zu der letzten, verheerendsten Phase des Bürgerkriegszeitalters und wurde doch zum Begründer eines Weltfriedens, der zu seinen Ehren den Namen 'Pax Augusta' trägt. Er begann als Hochverräter und war am Ende der 'Vater des Vaterlandes'. In seinen Anfängen trat er Recht und Gesetz mit Füßen, aber er ging als Wiederhersteller von Recht und Gesetz und als Schöpfer einer Ordnung, die er selbst und wahrscheinlich die Mehrheit seiner Zeitgenossen als den besten und glücklichsten Zustand des römischen Staates bezeichneten, in die Geschichte ein.

Wer war der Barockfürst des 18. Jahrhunderts aus Düsseldorf? Der volksnahe Tribun, vom Volksmund bis heute Jan-Wellem genannt, oder doch ein absolutistischer Kleinfürst, der von politischem Missgeschick verfolgt wurde und sein Volk ausbeutete? Geboren am 19. April 1658, bekleidete der in Düsseldorf geborene Wittelsbacher viele Positionen und war in zweiter Ehe verheiratet mit Anna Maria Luisa de Medici. Die beiden residierten in Schwetzingen und Düsseldorf und er stellte viele prachtvolle Bauten in Auftrag, beispielsweise das Schloss Bensberg. Dieses vielseitige Werk bereitet Amüsement, aber regt auch zum Nachdenken an! Autor Klas Evert Everwyn wurde am 10. März 1930 in Köln als Sohn eines Bäckers geboren und wuchs zwischen Windeck und Waldbröl im Bergischen Land auf. Nach seiner Ausbildung zum Diplom-Verwaltungswirt 1958 arbeitete er zuerst in verschiedenen öffentlichen Verwaltungen.

Title: [German] - Kaiser von morgens bis abends (Ungekürzt) Author: Jörg Fündling Narrator: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 19 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Über den Alltag der alten Römer ist schon viel geschrieben worden. Aber hatte Roms erster Mann überhaupt so etwas wie einen Alltag? Jörg Fündling begleitet einen Tag im Leben eines römischen Kaisers (zwischen 27 vor und 235 n. Chr.), angefüllt mit alltäglichen und außergewöhlichen Terminen und Ereignissen. Der Tag beginnt mit dem Morgenritual. Fündling beschreibt das Opfer an die Hausgötter und die Frühstücksgewohnheiten, wirft einen Blick auf die wartende kaiserliche Familie und bietet eine allgemeine Skizze des >Biotops< Kaiserpalast. Es folgen die zahlreichen Termine, die ein Kaiser wahrzunehmen hatte. Erst die Mittagsruhe bietet Gelegenheit für eine kurze Auszeit. Die Hauptmahlzeit des Tages gibt es am Abend, praktisch nie im kleinsten Kreis, häufig als 'Staatsbankett' im Palast. Schläft der Kaiser jemals allein? Das kaiserliche Eheleben wird ebenso beleuchtet wie späte Unterhaltungen bei Wein und Würfeln.

Title: [German] - Marc Aurel (Ungekürzt) Author: Jörg Fündling Narrator: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 20 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Marc Aurel ist eine der bekanntesten und populärsten Gestalten unter den römischen Kaisern. Seine 'Selbstbetrachtungen', auf seinen zahlreichen Feldzügen verfasst, geben Aufschluss über sein Leben und Denken und begründen bis heute seinen Ruhm als 'Kaiser und Philosoph'. Mit ihm endet die Zeit der dauerhaften Prosperität des römischen Reiches. Als Kaiser sah Marc Aurel sich mit vielen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Die Grenzen des Reiches wurden bedrängt, eine verheerende Pestepidemie suchte das dichtbesiedelte Rom heim, die Kriege drohten die Finanzen des Staates zu ruinieren und soziale Spannungen gefährdeten den inneren Frieden.

Title: [German] - 'Echte Kunst ist eigensinnig!' - Das Leben des Ludwig van Beethoven (Ungekürzt) Author: Hans-Georg Klemm Narrator: Kerstin Hoffmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 19 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Spannend wie ein historischer Roman ist diese Erzählung von Beethovens Leben. Das Hörbuch schildert konzentriert und packend die wichtigsten Stationen seiner Biographie und widmet sich den großen Fragen seiner Persönlichkeit. Beethovens Taubheit, seine Todesursache, seine unsterbliche Geliebte all dies kommt in höchst lebendiger Art zu Gehör.Das typische Beethoven-Klischee ist noch immer das des wild frisierten, ungestümen Grobians. Dass dies eine engsichtige Beschränkung auf wenige Aspekte der Persönlichkeit des großen Komponisten ist, hat die Forschung dargelegt. Der Autor Hans-Georg Klemm hat nun den Mut gehabt, das Leben Beethovens in seinem Hörbuch etwas weniger nüchtern anzugehen. In literarischer Anmutung beinahe in der Art eines historischen Romans beschreibt er das Leben des von vielen Schicksalsschlägen heimgesuchten Komponisten. Dies macht seine Biographie zu einem eigenständigen und höchst reizvollen Werk, das sich eindeutig und wohltuend von den bisherigen, zumeist sehr sachlichen Beethoven-Biografien unterscheidet. Klemms Arbeit richtet sich also an alle Beethoven-Liebhabern, auch an diejenigen, denen eine musikalische Ausbildung fehlt.

(1056-1106) stand unter keinem guten Stern. Noch unmündig beim Tod seines Vaters, muss er seine Herrschaft erst gegen seine Erzieher durchsetzen. Im ständigen Kampf gegen die Großen im Reich und gegen aufständische Sachsen erwächst ihm in der machtvollen Gestalt Papst Gregors VII. ein gefährlicher Gegner. Sein strenges Reformpapsttum erstrebt auch die Erhebung der Kirche über den Staat, des Papsttums über das Kaisertum. Der Streit eskaliert bis zum Bann gegen den Kaiser, der sich in Canossa demütigend dem Papst unterwirft. Sein eigener Sohn empört sich gegen ihn und setzt ihn gefangen, der Kaiser stirbt auf der Flucht. Aufgerieben im Kampf mit den aufstrebenden Fürsten im Reich und mit dem Anspruch des Papstes, als Stellvertreter Christi die höchste macht auf Erden zu repräsentieren, spitzen sich in Heinrichs Regierungszeit die beiden größten Probleme des mittelalterlichen Kaisertums bedrohlich zu. Heinrichs Regentschaft, geprägt von dauernden Krisen und Kriegen, ist ein Kaisertum des Scheiterns.

Title: [German] - Wallenstein (Ungekürzt) Author: Geoff Mortimer Narrator: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 15 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Wallenstein (1583-1634) ist eine Ausnahmefigur, faszinierend wie unerklärlich: Ein begnadetes Militärgenie und kühl kalkulierender Unternehmer, oder aber ein von Horoskopen abhängiger Zauderer? Dem Kaiser und der katholischen Sache treu ergeben oder maßlos egoistisch, ein Verräter? Ihn umgeben bis heute viele Rätsel. Geoff Mortimer, ausgewiesener Spezialist für den Dreißigjährigen Krieg und frühneuzeitliche Militärgeschichte, gelingt es immer wieder, die Mythen und Rätsel um die Person Wallensteins, die zumeist schon zu Lebzeiten entstanden, zu relativieren, seinen widersprüchlichen Charakter neu zu erklären. Anschaulich geschrieben ist es geradezu spannend, die Dekonstruktion der Legenden beim Lesen mit zu verfolgen. Es entsteht ein faszinierendes, ein fesselndes Portrait eines der größten Kriegsherren aller Zeiten. Er ist Handelnder wie Opfer einer finsteren, einer wilden Epoche, die im Spiegel Wallensteins in all ihren Facetten lebendig wird.

Title: [German] - Friedrich Barbarossa (Ungekürzt) Author: Ferdinand Opll Narrator: Wolfgang Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 28 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Friedrich Barbarossa (1122-1190) gehört bis heute zu den bekanntesten mittelalterlichen Herrscherpersönlichkeiten. Er kämpfte für die machtvolle Erneuerung des heiligen Römi-schen Reiches und die Festigung seiner kaiserlichen Stellung. Mit Diplomatie wie mit zahlrei-chen Feldzügen führte er sein Herrschaftsgebiet aus bürgerkriegsähnlichen Wirren zu einem Höhepunkt der 'Weltgeltung' staufischer Macht. Ferdinand Opll beschreibt Leben und Werk des populären Kaisers und nimmt dabei auch die markanten strukturellen Rahmenbedingun-gen der Epoche in den Blick, um so Person und Politik des legendären Staufers umfassend zu erklären. Ferdinand Oplls Biographie ist bis heute das unverzichtbare Standardwerk geblieben. Sie be-sticht durch ihren logischen Aufbau und die ungeheure Quellenkenntnis, ist dank ihrer sprachlichen Qualität aber auch für den interessierten Hörer geeignet.

Title: [German] - Konstantin der Große (Ungekürzt) Author: Elisabeth Herrmann-Otto Narrator: Wolfgang Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 26 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Konstantin (um 275 bis 337 n. Chr.) gehört zu den bedeutendsten römischen Kaisern - mit Recht trägt er in der Überlieferung den Beinamen 'der Große'. Die drei Jahrzehnte seiner Herrschaft markieren den entscheidenden Wendepunkt von der klassischen Antike zum christlichen Europa. Das biographische Hörbuch folgt seinem Lebenslauf von der Jugend in 'kleinen Verhältnissen' bis hin zur Alleinherrschaft über das Römische Reich, dessen neue Hauptstadt Konstantinopel von ihm gegründet wird. Das sogenannte Toleranzedikt von Mailand, das den Christen freie Religionsausübung gewährt, sowie die Hinwendung Konstantins zum Christentum sind wichtige Meilensteine seiner Regierungszeit und bleiben im historischen Gedächtnis über zwei Jahrtausende verankert. Elisabeth Herrmann-Otto schildert die zeitgeschichtlichen Hintergründe und stellt den ersten christlichen Kaiser in den Kontext der römischen Herrschaftsorganisation. Zugleich beleuchtet sie die Stellung der Christen sowie die Bedeutung der heidnischen Kulte für Staat und Gesellschaft.

Title: [German] - Richard Löwenherz (Ungekürzt) Author: Dieter Berg Narrator: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Schon zu Lebzeiten hatte er sich als Nachfolger König Artus' inszeniert. Nach seinem frühen Tod entstanden zahlreiche Legenden, deren bekannteste die von Robin Hood ist. Wer aber war dieser Richard Löwenherz wirklich? In jahrelangen Kämpfen entriss er seinem Vater die Herrschaft. Gleich nach seiner Krönung begab sich Richard auf den erfolglosen Dritten Kreuzzug. Auf der Rückreise wurde er von Herzog Leopold V. gefangengesetzt und erst gegen ein hohes Lösegeld und weitere Zugeständnisse freigelassen. Dennoch wurde der König bei seiner Heimkehr mit Jubel begrüßt. Nach erfolgreicher Herrschaftssicherung starb er, erst 41-jährig, an einer Schussverletzung. Dieter Berg rekonstruiert die wirkliche Gestalt hinter den Legenden. Er beschreibt die politischen Umstände vor und nach seiner Herrschaft, bettet Leben und Wirken Richards in seine Zeit ein und entwirft anhand seines Nachlebens ein Musterbeispiel für das Entstehen eines Mythos.

Title: [German] - Kleopatra (Ungekürzt) Author: Christoph Schäfer Narrator: Wolfgang Schmidt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 28 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Kaum eine Frauengestalt der Weltgeschichte hat - von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart - eine so große Faszination auf Dichter und Komponisten, auf Theater und Film ausgeübt wie Kleopatra VII. (69-30 v. Chr.). Die Lebensgeschichte der ägyptischen Königin ist ebenso reich an dramatischen Szenen wie an tragisch-romantischen Episoden. Das Bild Kleopatras ist in der Überlieferung durch den Hass der Römer verzeichnet: Sie war eine hoch gebildete Frau und beherrschte zahlreiche Sprachen des Ostens. Politisch klug und selbstbewusst stellte sie sich in die Tradition der Jahrtausende alten Geschichte der Pharaonen - und setzte zur Sicherung der Macht bedenkenlos auch ihre Liebe ein. Christoph Schäfer zeichnet in seinem Hörbuch ein ausgewogenes und unvoreingenommenes Bild Kleopatras. 'Eine wichtige Kleopatra-Biographie, um die man bei diesem Thema nicht herumkommt.'

Title: [German] - Ein spanisches Testament (Ungekürzt) Author: Arthur Koestler Narrator: Oliver Besthorn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: March 29, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Nach einem Putsch im Juli 1936 brach in Spanien der Bürgerkrieg aus, der bei vielen Intellektuellen überall in der Welt Solidarität mit der bedrohten Republik auslöste. Arthur Koestler ging zu jenen Zeiten direkt zu Anfang des Konfliktes als Kriegsberichterstatter nach Spanien. Den Fall Málagas im Februar 1937 erlebte er mit und wird gefangen genommen. Noch bevor er als Gefangener nach Sevilla verlegt wird, werden während seiner Isolierhaft, die nur fünf Tage dauerte, fünftausend Menschen erschossen. In dem Oliver Besthorn gelesenen Bericht, der als 'ungewöhnliches menschliches Dokument' gilt, erzählt Koestler von dem Schicksal von Abertausenden Inhaftierten des Spanischen Bürgerkrieges.

Title: [German] - Die Wittelsbacher (Ungekürzt) Author: Andreas Brunner Narrator: Martin Falk Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 9 minutes Release date: October 2, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Die Wittelsbacher sind eines der ältesten Adelsgeschlechter im deutschsprachigen Raum. Obwohl nur drei Wittelsbacher zu römisch-deutschen Königen gekrönt wurden, wovon zwei Kaiser wurden (Ludwig IV. und Karl VII.), mischten sie doch kräftig in der Politik des Heiligen Römischen Reiches deutscher Nation mit. In viele Nebenlinien aufgesplittert ist das Haus mit zahlreichen Adelshäusern in Europa verwandt und brachte auch einige weit über den bayerischen Raum hinaus bekannte Persönlichkeiten hervor. Zwei der schillerndsten sind der 'Märchenkönig' Ludwig II. und die nicht minder sagenumwobene Kaiserin Elisabeth von Österreich, die als Sisi Weltkarriere machte. Wittelsbacher herrschten aber auch auf den Thronen von Dänemark, Norwegen und Schweden, kurzfristig auch in Ungarn und Böhmen sowie für eine Generation in Griechenland. Das Hörbuch führt in die Geschichte dieser spannenden Dynastie ein.

Title: Dorothy Dandridge: A Biography Author: Donald Bogle Narrator: Matthew J. Turner, Donald Bogle Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 44 minutes Release date: October 12, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Available once again, the definitive biography of the pioneering Black performer—the first nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award—who broke new ground in Hollywood and helped transform American society in the years before Civil Rights movement—a remarkable woman of her time who also transcended it.  “An ambitious, rigorously researched account of the long-ignored film star and chanteuse. . . . Bogle has fashioned a resonant history of a bygone era in Hollywood and passionately documented the contribution of one of its most dazzling and complex performers.''—New York Times Book Review In the segregated world of 1950s America, few celebrities were as talented, beautiful, glamorous, and ultimately influential as Dorothy Dandridge. Universally admired, she was Hollywood's first full-fledged Black movie star. Film historian Donald Bogle offers a panoramic portrait of Dorothy Dandridge’s extraordinary and ultimately tragic life and career, from her early years as a child performer in Cleveland, to her rise as a nightclub headliner and movie star, to her heartbreaking death at 42.  Bogle reveals how this exceptionally talented and intensely ambitious entertainer broke down racial barriers by integrating some of America's hottest nightclubs and broke through Tinseltown’s glass ceiling. Along with her smash appearances at venues such as Harlem’s famed Cotton Club, Dorothy starred in numerous films, making history with her role in Otto Preminger’s Carmen Jones, playing opposite Harry Belafonte. Her performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress—the first Oscar nod for a woman of color. But Dorothy’s wealth, fame, and success masked a reality fraught with contradiction and illusion. Struggling to find good roles professionally, uncomfortable with her image as a sex goddess, coping with the aftermath of two unhappy marriages and a string of unfulfilling affairs, and overwhelmed with guilt for her disabled daughter, Dorothy found herself emotionally and financially bankrupt—despair that ended in her untimely death. Woven from extensive research and unique interviews, as magnetic as the woman at its heart, Dorothy Dandridge captures this dazzling entertainer in all her complexity: her strength and vulnerability, her joy and her pain, her trials and her triumphs.

Title: Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant's Search for Her Family's Lasting Legacy Author: Gayle Jessup White Narrator: Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 1 minute Release date: November 16, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A Black descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings’ family explores America’s racial reckoning through the prism of her ancestors—both the enslaver and the enslaved. Gayle Jessup White had long heard the stories passed down from her father’s family, that they were direct descendants of Thomas Jefferson—lore she firmly believed, though others did not. For four decades the acclaimed journalist and genealogy enthusiast researched her connection to Thomas Jefferson, to confirm its truth once and for all.  After she was named a Jefferson Studies Fellow, Jessup White discovered her family lore was correct. Poring through photos and documents and pursuing DNA evidence, she learned that not only was she a descendant of Jefferson on his father’s side; she was also the great-great-great-granddaughter of Peter Hemings, Sally Hemings’s brother. In Reclamation she chronicles her remarkable journey to definitively understand her heritage and reclaim it, and offers a compelling portrait of what it means to be a black woman in America, to pursue the American dream, to reconcile the legacy of racism, and to ensure the nation lives up to the ideals advocated by her legendary ancestor.

Title: River of the Gods: Genius, Courage, and Betrayal in the Search for the Source of the Nile Author: Candice Millard Narrator: Paul Michael Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 2 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.24 of Total 21 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The harrowing story of one of the great feats of exploration of all time and its complicated legacy—from the New York Times bestselling author of The River of Doubt and Destiny of the Republic A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE WASHINGTON POST • GOODREADS 'A lean, fast-paced account of the almost absurdly dangerous quest by [Richard Burton and John Speke] to solve the geographic riddle of their era.' —The New York Times Book Review For millennia the location of the Nile River’s headwaters was shrouded in mystery. In the 19th century, there was  a frenzy of interest in ancient Egypt. At the same time, European powers sent off waves of explorations intended to map the unknown corners of the globe – and extend their colonial empires. Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke were sent by the Royal Geographical Society to claim the prize for England. Burton spoke twenty-nine languages, and was a decorated soldier. He was also mercurial, subtle, and an iconoclastic atheist. Speke was a young aristocrat and Army officer determined to make his mark, passionate about hunting, Burton’s opposite in temperament and beliefs. From the start the two men clashed. They would endure tremendous hardships, illness, and constant setbacks. Two years in, deep in the African interior, Burton became too sick to press on, but Speke did, and claimed he found the source in a great lake that he christened Lake Victoria. When they returned to England, Speke rushed to take credit, disparaging Burton. Burton disputed his claim, and Speke launched another expedition to Africa to prove it. The two became venomous enemies, with the public siding with the more charismatic Burton, to Speke’s great envy. The day before they were to publicly debate,Speke shot himself. Yet there was a third man on both expeditions, his name obscured by imperial annals, whose exploits were even more extraordinary. This was Sidi Mubarak Bombay, who was enslaved and shipped from his home village in East Africa to India. When the man who purchased him died, he made his way into the local Sultan’s army, and eventually traveled back to Africa, where he used his resourcefulness, linguistic prowess and raw courage to forge a living as a guide. Without Bombay and men like him, who led, carried, and protected the expedition, neither Englishman would have come close to the headwaters of the Nile, or perhaps even survived. In River of the Gods Candice Millard has written another peerless story of courage and adventure, set against the backdrop of the race to exploit Africa by the colonial powers.

Knight probes the space between coincidence and the ineffable mystery of supernatural possibilities.' —NPR Books   '[Knight's] prose delights.' —Wall Street Journal “Stunning… An enveloping, unsettling book, gorgeously written and profound.” —Patrick Radden Keefe, New York Times bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain   From a rising star New Yorker staff writer, the incredible and gripping true story of John Barker, a psychiatrist who investigated the power of premonitions—and came to believe he himself was destined for an early death On the morning of October 21, 1966, Kathleen Middleton, a music teacher in suburban London, awoke choking and gasping, convinced disaster was about to strike. An hour later, a mountain of rubble containing waste from a coal mine collapsed above the village of Aberfan, swamping buildings and killing 144 people, many of them children. Among the doctors and emergency workers who arrived on the scene was John Barker, a psychiatrist from Shelton Hospital, in Shrewsbury. At Aberfan, Barker became convinced there had been supernatural warning signs of the disaster, and decided to establish a “premonitions bureau,” in conjunction with the Evening Standard newspaper, to collect dreams and forebodings from the public, in the hope of preventing future calamities. Middleton was one of hundreds of seemingly normal people, who would contribute their visions to Barker’s research in the years to come, some of them unnervingly accurate. As Barker’s work plunged him deeper into the occult, his reputation suffered. But in the face of professional humiliation, Barker only became more determined, ultimately realizing with terrible certainty that catastrophe had been prophesied in his own life. In Sam Knight’s crystalline telling, this astonishing true story comes to encompass the secrets of the world. We all know premonitions are impossible—and yet they come true all the time. Our lives are full of collisions and coincidence: the question is how we perceive these implausible events and therefore make meaning in our lives. The Premonitions Bureau is an enthralling account of madness and wonder, of science and the supernatural. With an unforgettable ending, it is a mysterious journey into the most unsettling reaches of the human mind.

Tasha Morton is a force of nature: a brilliant educator who’s left her mark on generations of students—and also a whirlwind of a mother, intrusive, chaotic, oppressively devoted, and irrepressible. For decades, her son Brian has kept her at a self-protective distance, but when her health begins to fail, he knows it’s time to assume responsibility for her care. Even so, he’s not prepared for what awaits him, as her refusal to accept her own fragility leads to a series of epic outbursts and altercations that are sometimes frightening, sometimes wildly comic, and sometimes both. Clear-eyed, “deeply stirring” (Dani Shapiro, The New York Times Book Review), and brimming with dark humor, Tasha is both a vivid account of an unforgettable woman and a stark look at the impossible task of caring for an elderly parent in a country whose unofficial motto is “you’re on your own.” Brian Morton Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/539757 thebookvoice.com 4:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/539757]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain Author: Marc Morris Narrator: Ralph Lister Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 30, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. This is the first major biography for a generation of a truly formidable king. Edward I is familiar to millions as 'Longshanks', conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace ('Braveheart'). Edward was born to rule England, but believed that it was his right to rule all of Britain. His reign was one of the most dramatic of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale, and leaving a legacy of division that has lasted from his day to our own. In his astonishingly action-packed life, Edward defeated and killed the famous Simon de Montfort in battle; travelled across Europe to the Holy Land on crusade; conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers, and constructed - at Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon - the most magnificent chain of castles ever created. After the death of his first wife he erected the Eleanor Crosses - the grandest funeral monuments ever fashioned for an English monarch. © Marc Morris 2008 (P) Penguin Audio 2021 Marc Morris Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/539437 thebookvoice.com 18:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/539437]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Young H.G. Wells: Changing the World Author: Claire Tomalin Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 23 minutes Release date: November 4, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A fascinating journey into the life of H.G. Wells, from one of Britain's best biographers. How did the first forty years of H. G. Wells' life shape the father of science fiction? From his impoverished childhood in a working-class English family, to his determination to educate himself at any cost, to the serious ill health that dominated his twenties and thirties, his complicated marriages, and love affair with socialism, the first forty years of H. G. Wells' extraordinary life would set him on a path to become one of the world's most influential writers. The sudden success of The Time Machine and The War of The Worlds transformed his life and catapulted him to international fame; he became the writer who most inspired Orwell and countless others, and predicted men walking on the moon seventy years before it happened. In this remarkable, empathetic biography, Claire Tomalin paints a fascinating portrait of a man like no other, driven by curiosity and desiring reform, a socialist and a futurist whose new and imaginative worlds continue to inspire today.

I couldn't stop reading it.”—Simon Sebag Montefiore In this life-affirming intergenerational memoir, Lily Ebert, a Holocaust survivor, and her great-grandson, Dov Forman, come together to share her story—an unforgettable tale of resilience and resistance. On Yom Kippur, 1944, fighting to stay alive as a prisoner in Auschwitz, Lily Ebert made a promise to herself. She would survive the hell she was in and tell the world her story, for everyone who couldn’t. Now, at ninety-eight, this remarkable woman—and TikTok sensation, thanks to the help of her eighteen-year-old great-grandson—fulfills that vow, relaying the details of her harrowing experiences with candor, charm, and an overflowing heart. In these pages, she writes movingly about her happy childhood in Hungary, the death of her mother and two youngest siblings on their arrival at Auschwitz, and her determination to keep her two other sisters safe. She describes the inhumanity of the camp and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. Lily lost so much, but she built a new life for herself and her family, first in Israel and then in London. Dov knows that it is up to younger people like him to keep Lily’s promise. He and Lily bridge the generation gap to share her experience, reminding us of the joy that accompanies the solemn responsibility of keeping the past—and our stories—alive.

Title: Lily's Promise: Holding On to Hope Through Auschwitz and Beyond—A Story for All Generations Author: Lily Ebert, Dov Forman Narrator: Dov Forman, Lily Ebert, Anna Cordell, Charles Hrh The Prince Of Wales Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 54 minutes Release date: May 10, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Performed by Anna Cordell and Dov Forman featuring a foreword written and read by Charles HRH The Prince of Wales and dedication written and read by Lily Ebert. “Utterly compelling, heartbreaking, truthful and yet redemptive . . . a testimony of irrepressible spirit and an unforgettable family chronicle. I couldn't stop reading it.”—Simon Sebag Montefiore In this life-affirming intergenerational memoir, Lily Ebert, a Holocaust survivor, and her great-grandson, Dov Forman, come together to share her story—an unforgettable tale of resilience and resistance. On Yom Kippur, 1944, fighting to stay alive as a prisoner in Auschwitz, Lily Ebert made a promise to herself. She would survive the hell she was in and tell the world her story, for everyone who couldn’t. Now, at ninety-eight, this remarkable woman—and TikTok sensation, thanks to the help of her eighteen-year-old great-grandson—fulfills that vow, relaying the details of her harrowing experiences with candor, charm, and an overflowing heart. In these pages, she writes movingly about her happy childhood in Hungary, the death of her mother and two youngest siblings on their arrival at Auschwitz, and her determination to keep her two other sisters safe. She describes the inhumanity of the camp and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. Lily lost so much, but she built a new life for herself and her family, first in Israel and then in London. Dov knows that it is up to younger people like him to keep Lily’s promise. He and Lily bridge the generation gap to share her experience, reminding us of the joy that accompanies the solemn responsibility of keeping the past—and our stories—alive. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/538556 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/538556]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Movement Made Us: A Father, a Son, and the Legacy of a Freedom Ride Author: David J. Dennis Jr., David J. Dennis Sr. Narrator: Leon Nixon, Cary Hite Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 55 minutes Release date: May 10, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “The Movement Made Us takes literature to a momentous Southern Black space to which I honestly never thought a book could take us. This is literally the Movement that made us and both Davids love us whole here with a creation that is as ingenious as it is soulfully sincere. Stunning.”—Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy A dynamic family exchange that pivots between the voices of a father and son, The Movement Made Us is a unique work of oral history and memoir, chronicling the extraordinary story of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and its living legacy embodied in Black Lives Matter. David Dennis Sr, a core architect of the movement, speaks out for the first time, swapping recollections both harrowing and joyful with David Jr, a journalist working on the front lines of change today.  Taken together, their stories paint a critical portrait of America, casting one nation’s image through the lens of two individual Black men and their unique relationship. Playful and searching, anxious and restorative, fearless and driving, this intimate memoir features scenes from across David Sr’s life, as he becomes involved in the movement, tries to move beyond it, and ultimately returns to it to find final solace and new sense of self—revealing a survivor who travels eternally with a cabal of ghosts.   A crucial addition to Civil Rights history, The Movement Made Us is the story of a nation reckoning with change and the hopes, struggles, setbacks, and triumphs of modern Black life. This is it: the extant chronicle of why we live, why we move, and for what we are made. David J. Dennis Jr., David J.

Title: The Son and Heir: A Memoir Author: Alexander Münninghoff Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 3 minutes Release date: August 1, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A prize-winning Dutch journalist’s unsparing memoir of growing up amid the excesses, triumphs, and devastation of post–World War II Europe. What can a son say upon discovering that his father wore a Nazi uniform? Reporter Alexander Münninghoff was only four when he found this mortifying relic from his father’s recent past in his attic. This shameful memento came to symbolize not only his father’s tragically misguided allegiance but also a shattered marriage and ultimately the unconscionable separation of a mother and son. In this revelatory memoir, the author confronts his parents’ complex past as he reconstructs the fortunes and disillusions of an entire family upheaved during the changes of twentieth-century Europe. The Münninghoffs were driven by greed, rebellion, and rage. An embattled dynasty, they were torn between the right and the wrong side of history. Their saga haunted Alexander’s life for the next seventy years. Only in reconciling with them can this man find the courage to move forward as son and heir to the startling legacy of a flawed yet grand tradition.

Despite her parents’ struggles with addiction, Lilly Dancyger always thought of her childhood as a happy one. But what happens when a journalist interrogates her own rosy memories to reveal the instability around the edges? Dancyger’s father, Joe Schactman, was part of the iconic 1980s East Village art scene. He created provocative sculptures out of found materials like animal bones, human hair, and broken glass and brought his young daughter into his gritty, iconoclastic world. She idolized him—despite the escalating heroin addiction that sometimes overshadowed his creative passion. When Schactman died suddenly, just as Dancyger was entering adolescence, she went into her own self-destructive spiral, raging against a world that had taken her father away. As an adult, Dancyger began to question the mythology she had created about her father—the brilliant artist, struck down in his prime. Using his sculptures, paintings, and prints as a guide, Dancyger sought out the characters from his world who could help her decode the language of her father’s work to find the truth of who he really was.

Title: The Song of Our Scars: The Untold Story of Pain Author: Haider Warraich Narrator: Haider Warraich, Fajer Al-Kaisi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 37 minutes Release date: April 19, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A doctor’s personal and unsparing account of how modern medicine’s failure to understand pain has made care less effective In The Song of Our Scars, physician Haider Warraich offers a bold reexamination of the nature of pain, not as a simple physical sensation, but as a cultural experience. Warraich, himself a sufferer of chronic pain, considers the ways our notions of pain have been shaped not just by science but by politics and power, by whose suffering mattered and whose didn’t. He weaves a provocative history from the Renaissance, when pain transformed into a medical issue, through the racial legacy of pain tolerance, to the opiate epidemics of both the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, to the cutting edge of present-day pain science. The conclusion is clear: only by reckoning with both pain’s complicated history and its biology can today’s doctors adequately treat their patients’ suffering. Trenchant and deeply felt, The Song of Our Scars is an indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body.

Warraich, himself a sufferer of chronic pain, considers the ways our notions of pain have been shaped not just by science but by politics and power, by whose suffering mattered and whose didn’t. He weaves a provocative history from the Renaissance, when pain transformed into a medical issue, through the racial legacy of pain tolerance, to the opiate epidemics of both the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, to the cutting edge of present-day pain science. The conclusion is clear: only by reckoning with both pain’s complicated history and its biology can today’s doctors adequately treat their patients’ suffering. Trenchant and deeply felt, The Song of Our Scars is an indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body.

Title: Border Hacker: A Tale of Treachery, Trafficking, and Two Friends on the Run Author: Levi Vonk Narrator: Axel Kirschner, Levi Vonk Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 30 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An unlikely friendship, a four-thousand-mile voyage, and an impenetrable frontier—this dramatic odyssey reveals the chaos and cruelty US immigration policies have unleashed beyond our borders. Axel Kirschner was a lifelong New Yorker, all Queens hustle and bravado. But he was also undocumented. After a minor traffic violation while driving his son to kindergarten, Axel was deported to Guatemala, a country he swore he had not lived in since he was a baby. While fighting his way back through Mexico on a migrant caravan, Axel met Levi Vonk, a young anthropologist and journalist from the US. That chance encounter would change both of their lives forever. Levi soon discovered that Axel was no ordinary migrant. He was harboring a secret: Axel was a hacker. This secret would launch the two friends on a dangerous adventure far beyond what either of them could have imagined. While Axel’s abilities gave him an edge in a system that denied his existence, they would also ensnare him in a tangled underground network of human traffickers, corrupt priests, and anti-government guerillas eager to exploit his talents for their own ends. And along the way, Axel’s secret only raised more questions for Levi about his past. How had Axel learned to hack? What did he want? And was Axel really who he said he was? Border Hacker is at once an adventure saga—the story of a man who would do anything to return to his family, and the friend who would do anything to help him—and a profound parable about the violence of American immigration policy told through a single, extraordinary life.

Title: [Spanish] - Man Enough Lo suficientemente hombre (Spanish edition): Cómo desdefiní mi masculinidad Author: Justin Baldoni Narrator: Cesar Ramones Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 14 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: «Ser ''lo suficientemente hombre'' es mirar hacia nuestro interior, entender y redefinir la masculinidad para así crecer como seres humanos.» —Jaime Camil Las consecuencias de la masculinidad tradicional nos afectan en todas las áreas de nuestras vidas. No sólo las sufren las mujeres, sino también nuestros amigos, familiares, compañeros y, sobre todo, nosotros mismos. También han afectado a Justin Baldoni, que ha decidido explorar algunas de las facetas más importantes de la experiencia masculina —el valor, el éxito, la raza, la sexualidad, las relaciones o la paternidad— para entender cómo la concepción social de «ser un hombre» nos hace daño y limita. Sus reflexiones y vivencias abren un debate en el que podemos descubrir y curar nuestras heridas más profundas para, por fin, decidir libremente qué clase de hombre queremos ser. Este es un testimonio íntimo que nos invita a explorar nuestra propia vulnerabilidad, a emprender nuestro propio viaje entre nuestra cabeza y nuestro corazón. Estas páginas son el camino en el que recordarás que eres suficiente tal como eres. «''Lo suficientemente hombre'' puede ser el primer gran paso de tu sanación y, con ella, la del resto de hombres, mujeres y niños en tu vida.» —Eugenio Derbez  Justin Baldoni es actor, director, fundador de Wayfarer Studios y de Wayfarer Foundation y, ante todo, un devoto bahá'í. Además de su conocido papel coprotagonista en la serie Jane the Virgin, Justin ha pasado la última década explorando, entendiendo y cambiando lo que significa ser un hombre. Esto le llevó a impartir su famosa charla TED, producir el programa Man Enough y, ahora, a escribir este libro.

Title: The First Kennedys: The Humble Roots of an American Dynasty Author: Neal Thompson Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 22, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “Here is that rare thing: an untold chapter in the Kennedy saga. . .Compelling and illuminating.”—Jon Meacham Based on genealogical breakthroughs and previously unreleased records, this is the first book to explore the inspiring story of the poor Irish refugee couple who escaped famine; created a life together in a city hostile to Irish, immigrants, and Catholics; and launched the Kennedy dynasty in America. Their Irish ancestry was a hallmark of the Kennedys’ initial political profile, as JFK leveraged his working-class roots to connect with blue-collar voters. Today, we remember this iconic American family as the vanguard of wealth, power, and style rather than as the descendants of poor immigrants. Here at last, we meet the first American Kennedys, Patrick and Bridget, who arrived as many thousands of others did following the Great Famine—penniless and hungry. Less than a decade after their marriage in Boston, Patrick’s sudden death left Bridget to raise their children single-handedly. Her rise from housemaid to shop owner in the face of rampant poverty and discrimination kept her family intact, allowing her only son P.J. to become a successful saloon owner and businessman. P.J. went on to become the first American Kennedy elected to public office—the first of many. Written by the grandson of an Irish immigrant couple and based on first-ever access to P.J. Kennedy’s private papers, The First Kennedys is a story of sacrifice and survival, resistance and reinvention: an American story.

Title: The Taste of Longing: Ethel Mulvany and her Starving Prisoners of War Cookbook Author: Suzanne Evans Narrator: Gwenlyn Cumyn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 54 minutes Release date: August 15, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Half a world away from her home in Manitoulin Island, Ethel Mulvany is starving in Singapore's infamous Changi Prison, along with hundreds of other women jailed there as POWs during the Second World War. They beat back pangs of hunger by playing decadent games of make-believe and writing down recipes filled with cream, raisins, chocolate, butter, cinnamon, ripe fruit-the unattainable ingredients of peacetime, of home, of memory. In this novelistic, immersive biography, Suzanne Evans presents a truly individual account of WWII through the eyes of Ethel-mercurial, enterprising, combative, stubborn, and wholly herself. The Taste of Longing follows Ethel through the fall of Singapore in 1942, the years of her internment, and beyond. As a prisoner, she devours dog biscuits and book spines, befriends spiders and smugglers, and endures torture and solitary confinement. As a free woman back in Canada, she fights to build a life for herself in the midst of trauma and burgeoning mental illness. Woven with vintage recipes and transcribed tape recordings, the story of Ethel and her fantastical POW Cookbook is a testament to the often-overlooked strength of women in wartime. It's a story of the unbreakable power of imagination, generosity, and pure heart.

Title: The Hangman and His Wife: The Life and Death of Reinhard Heydrich Author: Nancy Dougherty Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 12 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An astonishing journey into the heart of Nazi evil: a portrait of one of the darkest figures of Hitler’s Nazi elite—Reinhard Heydrich, the designer and executor of the Holocaust, chief of the Reich Main Security, including the Gestapo—interwoven with commentary by his wife, Lina, from the author's in-depth interviews. He was called the Hangman of the Gestapo, the 'butcher of Prague,' with a reputation as a ruthlessly efficient killer. He was the head of the SS, and the Gestapo, second in command to Heinrich Himmler. His orders set in motion the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938 and, as the lead planner of Hitler's Final Solution, he chaired the Wannsee Conference, at which details of the murder of millions of Jews across Nazi-occupied Europe were toasted with cognac.   In The Hangman and His Wife, Nancy Dougherty, and, following her death, Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, masterfully explore who Heydrich was and how he came to be, and how he came to do what he did. We see Heydrich from his rarefied musical family origins and his ugly-duckling childhood and adolescence, to his sudden flameout as a promising Naval officer (he was forced to resign his Naval commission after dishonoring the office corps by having sex with the unmarried daughter of a shipyard director and refusing to marry her).   Dougherty writes of his seemingly hopeless job prospects as an untrained civilian during Germany’s hyperinflation and unemployment, and his joining the Nazi party through the attraction to Nazism of his fiancée, Lina von Osten, and her father, along with the rumor shadowing him of a strain of Jewishness inherited from his father’s side. And we follow Heydrich’s meteoric rise through the Nazi high command—from SS major, to colonel to brigadier general, before he was thirty, deputy to Heinrich Himmler, expanding the SS, the Gestapo, and developing the Reich's plans for 'the Jewish solution.'   And throughout, we hear the voice of Lina Heydrich, who was by his side until his death at the age of thirty-eight, living inside the Nazi inner circles as she waltzed with Rudolf Hess, feuded with Hermann Göring, and drank vintage wine with Albert Speer.

Русская и французская истории всегда были тесно связаны, и культурно, и политически. Кроме того, нельзя забывать о том, что долгое время основным разговорным языком для русского дворянства был именно французский язык. Личность Наполеона Бонапарта в отечественном искусстве и историографии отражена весьма противоречиво. Впрочем, вряд ли можно ожидать каких-то непротиворечивых оценок для фигуры такого масштаба. С одной стороны, герой французской революции, великий полководец, невероятного размаха государственный деятель, ему посвящали стихотворения и даже циклы баллад. С другой стороны, злодей, вторгшийся на территорию Российской Империи с целью завоевания, жестокий тиран. А, с третьей, в конце своей жизни побеждённый, проигравший, человек, запутавшийся и обречённый, 'капитан воздушного корабля', с горечью взирающий на своё великое прошлое и свою Францию. Наталия Ивановна Басовская – доктор исторических наук, заведующая кафедрой всеобщей истории Историко-архивного института РГГУ, ведущая популярнейшей радиопередачи 'Всё так!' радиостанции 'Эхо Москвы', представляет аудиокнигу, посвящённую жизненному пути Наполеона Бонапарта - от его детства, юности, событий, повлиявших на становление личности будущего Императора к последним годам его жизни, одиночеству и смерти на острове святой Елены. наталия басовская Mon, 11 Jan 2021 09:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/535827 thebookvoice.com 2:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/535827]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Samuelson Friedman: The Battle Over the Free Market Author: Nicholas Wapshott Narrator: Chris Macdonnell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 13 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In 1966 two columnists joined Newsweek magazine. Their assignment: debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics. Milton Friedman championed 'monetarism' and insisted the Federal Reserve maintain tight control over the amount of money circulating in the economy. In Samuelson Friedman, author and journalist Nicholas Wapshott brings narrative verve and puckish charm to the story of these two giants of modern economics, their braided lives, and colossal intellectual battles. Samuelson, a forbidding technical genius, grew up a child of relative privilege and went on to revolutionize macroeconomics. He wrote the best-selling economics textbook of all time. His friend and adversary for decades, Milton Friedman, studied the Great Depression and with Anna Schwartz wrote the seminal books The Great Contraction and A Monetary History of the United States. Friedman found fortune writing a treatise, Capitalism and Freedom. In Wapshott's nimble hands, Samuelson and Friedman's decades-long argument over how—or whether—to manage the economy becomes a window onto one of the longest periods of economic turmoil in the United States.

Title: Foucault: A Very Short Introduction, 2nd edition Author: Gary Gutting Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 56 minutes Release date: August 31, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Born in 1926 in France, Foucault is one of those rare philosophers who has become a cult figure. Over the course of his life he dabbled in drugs, politics, and the Paris SM scene, all whilst striving to understand the deep concepts of identity, knowledge, and power. From aesthetics to the penal system; from madness and civilization to avant-garde literature, Foucault was happy to reject old models of thinking and replace them with versions that are still widely debated today. A major influence on Queer Theory and gender studies (he was openly gay and died of an AIDS-related illness in 1984), he also wrote on architecture, history, law, medicine, literature, politics, and of course philosophy. In this Very Short Introduction Gary Gutting presents a wide-ranging but non-systematic exploration of some highlights of Foucault's life and thought. Beginning with a brief biography to set the social and political stage, he then tackles Foucault's thoughts on literature, in particular the avant-garde scene; his philosophical and historical work; his treatment of knowledge and power in modern society; and his thoughts on sexuality. This new edition includes feminist criticisms of Foucault's apparently sexist treatment of the Jouy case, as well as a new chapter offering a unified overview of the College de France lectures, now a major focus of interest in Foucault.
