Title: [Chinese] - General Li GuangBi Author: Yunlei Jia Narrator: Yunlei Jia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 3 minutes Release date: December 31, 1969 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Li Guangbi, the martyr's descendant, didn't behave like an ordinary child since his childhood. From a young age, he excelled in horsemanship and archery. He had a stern and resolute character, rarely smiling or joking. People felt a sense of awe upon seeing him, and everyone in the military knew he was a promising young talent with great ambitions. After the death of Li Kailuo, Li Guangbi inherited his father's title. He served under Wang Zhongsi, the Military Governor of Hexi, as the commander of the cavalry and the leader of the Chishui Army. Wang Zhongsi had a keen eye for talent and treated Li Guangbi differently. He often said, 'In the future, the one who can lead my troops can only be Guangbi.' Due to his repeated military achievements in defeating the Tubo and Tuyuhun forces, the Tang court promoted Li Guangbi to General of Cloud Banners. At that time, An Sishun, the Military Governor of Shuofang, recommended Li Guangbi as his deputy and entrusted him with the management of military logistics. Due to Li Guangbi's talents and straightforwardness, An Sishun wanted to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Li Guangbi. However, Li Guangbi declined, claiming he was unwell, thus avoiding this marriage proposal. This indicates that Li Guangbi had a strategic vision from the beginning of his career and aimed to avoid entanglement in the webs of power and relationships among influential officials and generals. This way, he could remain devoted to the court and resist personal temptations and favors. His rival, Ge Shuhan, who had a strained relationship with An Sishun, learned about this and admired Li Guangbi's principles. At that time, An Lushan and An Sishun held significant power, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to curry favor with them. Li Guangbi's unwavering integrity and determination set him apart. In response, Ge Shuhan praised Li Guangbi's exceptional integrity and submitted a petition to the court, bringing Li Guangbi to the capital as a military officer.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/759922Thu, 27 Mar 2025 02:44:14 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/759922 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Every Kind of People: A Journey into the Heart of Care Work Author: Kathryn Faulke Narrator: Ayesha Antoine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 48 minutes Release date: October 24, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A luminous, uplifting and deeply moving memoir by a care worker, told through her funny, heartbreaking, sometimes frustrating, and always eye-opening encounters with the often overlooked and marginalised people she cares for. 'Being as close as this to someone is a uniquely precious place to be. It is a place where secrets are revealed and fears are shared and outrageous jokes are made that could not be told to anyone else. It is a coal face of human experience' Kate never expected to become a home care worker. But when she left her senior role in the NHS, burnt-out and disheartened, she thought caring for people in their own homes would be a simpler job. Despite being determined not to become too involved with her 'customers', she soon found herself developing firm friendships, forging deep connections and bearing witness to the extraordinary drama to be found in ordinary lives. With energy, compassion and clarity, her memoir gives an astonishing insight into this unsung - and often maligned - profession, and into the hidden lives of the housebound and infirm. From Beryl who screams like a banshee whenever Kate tries to wash her, but collapses in giggles when her toes are tickled, to bawdy Mr Radbert who 'promised to give me his car when he can remember where he left it'. Every Kind of People is clear-eyed about the challenges facing the NHS and the care system. But it is above all a celebration of humanity and of the life-changing impact of caring, on those who offer it and those who receive it. 'The work of a natural storyteller ... All kinds of brilliant' JON McGREGOR ‘I am in love with Kate's storytelling, her ability to see the person and her fabulous, dry humour. This is a book about caring, and it's also a book about being in love with humanity’ KATHRYN MANNIX 'An extraordinary account of what it is to care for others, both beautiful and painful to read. This book is a compassionate invitation to get up close to the human condition and those who attend to it' DR GWEN ADSHEAD, author of The Devil You Know 'An extraordinary and important book that will make you laugh, cry, admire and despair in equal measure...

For Dr. Jessi Gold, everything was absolutely fine—until it suddenly wasn’t. As an assistant professor, practicing psychiatrist, university wellness leader, regular media expert, and dedicated friend and family member, Jessi was used to being constantly busy. After all, people—her patients, colleagues, and loved ones—needed her, so who was she to say no to any opportunity to help, be that an extra therapy session, corporate wellness talk, or favor for a friend. She was a doctor, trained to serve, to put the needs of others before her own. But when Jessi is so mentally overwhelmed that she commits an unthinkable error during a patient session, she’s forced to reevaluate everything that the medical system has taught her. While reassessing her own complex relationship to the health-care industry, Jessi begins to examine it through the eyes of some of her healthcare worker patients—a thirty-something resident with OCD, a pregnant nurse suffering from PTSD, an aspiring medical student with crippling test anxiety, and an experienced ER physician who feels completely overwhelmed. In their discussions of burnout, perfectionism, empathy, and the emotional burden of working in health care, and through her own personal therapy sessions, Jessi recognizes that she is not alone in struggling to maintain her humanity, in a field that she chose because of its humanity in the first place. Expertly weaving research expertise with unforgettable stories and raw emotion, How Do You Feel? demonstrates the unbridled capacity that we as humans have for connecting, learning, and growing. At once deeply personal, but also utterly universal, it reminds us all that when caring for others, we first have to remember to care for ourselves.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/763251Tue, 08 Oct 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/763251 to listen full audiobooks.

The victor of Agincourt, he is remembered as the acme of kingship, a model to be closely imitated by his successors. William Shakespeare deployed Henry V as a study in youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship. For one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, “the greatest man who ever ruled England.”   For Dan Jones, Henry V is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down. He was a hardened, sometimes brutal warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family, but he always seemed to triumph when it mattered. As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions, and secured England’s borders; in foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses.   Henry V is a historical titan whose legacy has become a complicated one. To understand the man behind the legend, Jones first examines Henry’s years of apprenticeship, when he saw the downfall of one king and the turbulent reign of another. Upon his accession in 1413, he had already been politically and militarily active for years, and his extraordinary achievements as king would come shortly after, earning him an unparalleled historical reputation.

Title: The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands Author: Amir Tibon Narrator: Amir Tibon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 0 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The gripping true story of how leading Israeli journalist Amir Tibon, along with his wife and their two young children, were rescued from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, 2023 by Tibon’s own father—an incredible tale of survival that also reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures that led to Hamas’s attacks that day.   On the morning of October 7, Amir Tibon and his wife were awakened by mortar rounds exploding near their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a progressive Israeli community less than a mile from Gaza City. Soon, they were holding their two young daughters in the family’s reinforced safe room, urging them not to cry as gunfire echoed just outside the door. With his cell phone battery running low, Amir texted his father: “The girls are behaving really well, but I’m worried they’ll lose patience soon and Hamas will hear us.”   Some 45 miles north, Amir’s parents had just cut short an early morning swim along the shores of Tel Aviv. Now, they jumped in their Jeep and sped toward Nahal Oz, armed only with a pistol but intent on saving their family at all costs.   In The Gates of Gaza, Amir Tibon tells this harrowing story in full for the first time. He describes his family's ordeal—and the bravery that ultimately led to their rescue—alongside the histories of the place they call home and the systems of power that have kept them and their neighbors in Gaza in harm’s way for decades.    Woven throughout is Tibon's own expertise as a longtime international correspondent, as well as more than thirty original interviews: with residents of his kibbutz, with the Israeli soldiers who helped to wrest it from the hands of Hamas, and with experts on Gaza, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the failed peace process. More than one family's odyssey, The Gates of Gaza is the intimate story of a tight-knit community and the broader saga of war, occupation, and hostility between two national movements—a conflict that has not yet extinguished the enduring hope for peace.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755870Tue, 24 Sep 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755870 to listen full audiobooks.

Richly imaginative and powerfully empathetic, an intimate portrait of five remarkable Black men, and a meditation on race, estrangement and the search for home In the western imagination, a Black man is always a stranger. Outsider, foreigner, intruder, alien. One who remains associated with their origins irrespective of how far they have travelled from them. One who is not an individual in their own right but the representative of a type. What kind of performance is required for a person to survive this condition? And what happens beneath the mask? In answer, Ekow Eshun conjures the voices of five very different men. Ira Aldridge: nineteenth century actor and playwright. Matthew Henson: polar explorer. Frantz Fanon: psychiatrist and political philosopher. Malcolm X: activist leader. Justin Fashanu: million-pound footballer. Each a trailblazer in his field. Each haunted by a sense of isolation and exile. Each reaching for a better future. Ekow Eshun tells their stories with breathtaking lyricism and empathy, capturing both the hostility and the beauty they experienced in the world. And he locates them within a wider landscape of Black art, culture, history and politics which stretches from Africa to Europe to North America and the Caribbean. As he moves through this landscape, he maps its thematic contours and fault lines, uncovering traces of the monstrous and the fantastic, of exile and escape, of conflict and vulnerability, and of the totemic central figure of the stranger.

Once sober, he started Tenderloin Walking Tours and later Code Tenderloin, the remarkable organization teaching homeless, recovering addicts, sex workers, dealers, ex-felons, and other marginalized people how to get and keep a job. Owings traces Del’s story and those in his orbit: from his daughters, sobriety buddy, and ex-girlfriend, to a police captain and a psychiatric social worker, housing activists and corporate philanthropists, and Del’s Code Tenderloin students. In the Tenderloin, in a city known for its beauty and currently infamous for its divide between haves and have-nots, Owings highlights how Del gives back to people struggling with the same daunting setbacks—including a criminal record—he once faced. Honest and compelling, Mayor of the Tenderloin follows homelessness in one of America’s toughest neighborhoods as it was lived—in the words of someone who lived it and is now fighting to solve it.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734618Tue, 17 Sep 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734618 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Hell of a Storm: The Battle for Kansas, the End of Compromise, and the Coming of the Civil War Author: David S. Brown Narrator: Jacques Roy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 44 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From popular historian and author of the “marvelous” (The New York Times Book Review) The Last American Aristocrat comes the fascinating story of how in 1854, a new law—the Kansas-Nebraska Act—unexpectedly became the greatest miscalculation in American history, dividing North and South, creating the Republican party, and paving the way for the Civil War. The history of the United States includes a series of sectional compromises—the Constitutional Convention, the Missouri Compromise in 1820, and the Compromise of 1850. While these accords created an imperfect republic, or “a house divided,” as Lincoln put it, the country remained united. But then in 1854, this three-generations system suddenly blew up with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and here, David Brown explores in riveting detail how the Act led to the sudden division of North and South. The Act declared that planters, if permitted by territorial laws, could bring their enslaved peoples to the land extending from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains—the core of Jefferson’s old Louisiana Purchase which had been reserved for free labor. Northerners were shocked that free soil might now be turned over to slavery and responded with unprecedented backlash. In the bill’s wake the conservative Whig Party (winners of multiple presidential elections) collapsed, and the radical Republican Party was born—in six years it would take control of the central government, provoking Southern secession. In A Hell of a Storm, Brown brings history to life in a way that resonates with the events of present. Through chapters on Lincoln, Emerson, Stowe, Thoreau, and Tubman, along with a cast of presidents, poets, abolitionists, and black emigrationists, Brown weaves a political, cultural, and literary history that chronicles the Republican party’s creation and rise, the collapse of antebellum compromises, and the coming of the Civil War, all topics that mirror current discussions about polarization in our nation today. By illuminating the personalities and the platforms, the writings and ideas that upended an older America and made space for its successor, A Hell of a Storm reminds us that American history is always being made, and it can be both dynamic and dangerous, both then and now.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/754913Tue, 17 Sep 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/754913 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Sage Warrior: Wake to Oneness, Practice Pleasure, Choose Courage, Become Victory Series: Part of The Revolutionary Love Project Author: Valarie Kaur Narrator: Harjit 'dolly' Kaur Brar, Valarie Kaur Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 28 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Profound inner wisdom for courageous action—from the author of See No Stranger and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, a “prophetic voice of our generation” (America Ferrera) How do we find the wisdom to envision a new world and the courage to fight for it? How do we survive seemingly apocalyptic times? In a world on fire, how do we find love and joy? We are not the first to ask these questions—in fact, seeking answers to them forged one of the world's great wisdom traditions. In a time riven by caste, conquest, and cruelty, Sikhs blazed the path of the sant sipahi, the sage warrior. The sage radiates love and Oneness; the warrior activates that ethical power to fight for humanity. These energies empowered the first Sikhs to survive near-annihilation in South Asia nearly half a millennium ago. The sage warrior is the essential archetype for our time of turmoil—one we can all embody to cultivate our souls and transform the world. Valarie Kaur combines the epic, immersive story of her Sikh ancestors—centering the stories of the women who worked to map the path of the sage warrior—with the chronicle of a personal journey: her pilgrimage with her young  children to the Panjab, India, where the stories unfolded, an occasionally comic adventure woven with sublime moments of connection and insight. Each chapter offers a lesson that emerges from the stories—from practicing pleasure to metabolizing grief to choosing courage. Sage Warrior shimmers with wisdom: Every story is accompanied by meditations, illuminating new ways of seeing and being. This journey is for anyone—from any faith tradition or spiritual practice or none at all—who hungers for a better world and is ready to discover the depth of their own power.

A narrative about amazing courage and astonishing gutlessness . . . It explains why Union movements worked and, more often, didn’t work in clear-eyed explanatory prose that’s vivid and direct.” — Chicago Tribune The high command of the Army of the Potomac was a changeable, often dysfunctional band of brothers, going through the fires of war under seven commanding generals in three years, until Grant came east in 1864. The men in charge all too frequently appeared to be fighting against the administration in Washington instead of for it, increasingly cast as political pawns facing down a vindictive congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War. President Lincoln oversaw, argued with, and finally tamed his unruly team of lieutenants as the eastern army was stabilized by an unsung supporting cast of corps, division, and brigade generals. With characteristic style and insight, Stephen Sears brings these courageous, determined officers, who rose through the ranks and led from the front, to life and legend.    “[A] massive, elegant study . . .

An edge-of-your-seat journey into the darkest depths of the human mind from forensic psychiatrist Dr Duncan Harding - A likeable young girl who’s burnt her family home to the ground - A man with no memory of the night he killed his wife - A teenager whose visions and voices have had murderous effect One question binds these and others from the casebook of Britain’s leading forensic psychiatrist: Why?

An expert witness, he must try to establish a defendant’s mental state and motivation. And their fitness to stand trial.

Title: The Last Para Author: Stuart Tootal, John Humphreys Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin A powerful and authentic account of one soldier's war from Tobruk to Arnhem and all points in between. John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war's end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet, and refusing to surrender. But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight. Aged 101, Humphreys began to pen his extraordinary story, with the help of bestselling author and former paratrooper Stuart Tootal. The Last Para is Humphrey’s parting gift, and the final time we will read an account from soldier of our Greatest Generation bearing witness to the heroism and sacrifice of this legendary action – told with incredible honesty and irrepressible spirit. 'The last of the legends. A gripping, visceral and immensely moving read. Courage beyond measure, coupled with humility to act as a lesson to us all. No more fitting tribute - we remember them.'

Title: The Last Para Author: Stuart Tootal, John Humphreys Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin A powerful and authentic account of one soldier's war from Tobruk to Arnhem and all points in between. John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war's end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet, and refusing to surrender. But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight. Aged 101, Humphreys began to pen his extraordinary story, with the help of bestselling author and former paratrooper Stuart Tootal. The Last Para is Humphrey’s parting gift, and the final time we will read an account from soldier of our Greatest Generation bearing witness to the heroism and sacrifice of this legendary action – told with incredible honesty and irrepressible spirit. 'The last of the legends. A gripping, visceral and immensely moving read. Courage beyond measure, coupled with humility to act as a lesson to us all. No more fitting tribute - we remember them.'

Title: The Traitor's Daughter: Captured by Nazis, Pursued by the KGB, My Mother's Odyssey to Freedom from Her Secret Past Author: Roxana Spicer Narrator: Roxana Spicer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 31 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER The masterful narration of a daughter's decades-long quest to understand her extraordinary mother, who was born in Lenin's Soviet Union, served as a combat soldier in the Red Army, and endured three years of Nazi captivity—but never revealed her darkest secrets. As a child, Roxana Spicer would sometimes wake to the sound of the Red Army choir. She would tip-toe downstairs to find her mother, cigarette in one hand and Black Russian in the other, singing along. Roxana would keep her company, and wonder.... Everyone in their village knew Agnes Spicer was Russian, that she had been a captive of the Nazis. And that was all they knew, because Agnes kept her secrets close: how she managed to escape Germany, what the tattoo on her arm meant, even her real name.  Discovering the truth about her beloved, charismatic, volatile mother became Roxana's obsession. Throughout her career as a journalist and documentarian, between investigations across Canada and around the world, she always went home to ask her mother more questions, often while filming.  Roxana also took every chance to visit the few places that she did know played a role in her mother's story: Bad Salzuflen, Germany, home to POW slave labourers during the war; notorious concentration camps; and Russia. Under Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and the early years of Putin, she was able to find people, places, and documents that are now—perhaps forever—lost again.  The Traitor's Daughter is intimate and exhaustively researched, vividly conversational, and shot through with Agnes Spicer's irrepressible, fiery personality. It is a true labour of love as well as a triumph of blending personal biography with sweeping history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/741780Tue, 27 Aug 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/741780 to listen full audiobooks.

Hitler. Stalin. Mussolini. Roosevelt. Five of the most impactful leaders of WW2, each with their own individualistic and idiosyncratic approach to warfare. But if we want to understand their military strategy, we must first understand the strategist. In The Strategists, Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien shows how the views these five leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how they fought WW2. For example, Churchill's experiences of facing the German Army in France in 1916 made him unwilling to send masses of British soldiers back there in the 1940s, while Hitler's mistakes on the Eastern Front were influenced by his reluctance to accept that conditions had changed since his own time fighting. The implications of the power of leaders remain with us to this day: to truly understand what is happening in Ukraine, for example, requires us to know what has influenced the leaders involved. This is a history in which leaders—and their choices—matter.

Title: Survival is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde Author: Alexis Pauline Gumbs Narrator: Alexis Pauline Gumbs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A Guardian and Lit Hub most anticipated book of 2024 Read these chapters like a collection of poems that speak in chorus in all directions. Understand each word as an opportunity for Audre’s fierce love, which is the same love that birthed the volcanoes and split the continents, to reach you, wherever you are. Audre Lorde was a survivor: of childhood disability injustice, of her best friend’s suicide, of the atomic age. She was a college activist against nuclear arms. A mother who knew poetry could help her children survive a racist world. And, ultimately, a cancer survivor, who understood the war going on within her cells was connected to the struggle against oppression taking place all around her. This stunning new account of Lorde’s life and work illuminates how, for Lorde, survival was not simply about getting through, or about resilience. It was about how to live on, and with, a planet in transformation. Lorde’s commitment to justice was intimately connected to her deep engagement with the natural world; with the planetary dynamics of geology, meteorology, and biology. For Lorde, ecological images are not simply metaphors but rather literal guides to how to be on earth, and how to live fully as a Black feminist lesbian warrior poet. In Survival Is a Promise, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, the first researcher to explore the full depths of Lorde’s manuscript archives, illuminates the eternal life of Audre Lorde. Her life and work swell to become a cosmic force, showing us the grand possibility of life together on earth. ©2024 Alexis Pauline Gumbs (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731604Tue, 20 Aug 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731604 to listen full audiobooks.

John (Jack) Downey, Jr., was a new Yale graduate in the post-World War II years who, like other Yale grads, was recruited by the CIA. He joined the Agency and was sent to Japan in 1952, during the Korean War. In a violation of protocol, he took part in an air drop that failed and was captured over China. His sources on the ground had been compromised, and his identity was known. Although he first tried to deny who he was, he eventually admitted the truth. But government policy forbade ever acknowledging the identity of spies, no matter the consequences. Washington invented a fictitious cover story and stood by it for four administrations. As a result, Downey was imprisoned during the decades that Red China, as it was called, was considered by the US to be a hostile nation, until 1972, when the US finally recognized the mainland Chinese government. He had spent twenty-one years in captivity. Downey would go on to become a lawyer and an esteemed judge in Connecticut, his home state. Prisoner of Lies is based in part on a prison memoir that Downey wrote several years after his release. Barry Werth fluently weaves excerpts from the memoir with the Cold War events that determined Downey’s fate. Like a le Carré novel, this is a “thrilling, richly informative” (Stephen Kinzer, author of The Brothers) story of one man whose life is at the mercy of larger forces outside of his control; in Downey’s case as a pawn of the Cold War, and more specifically the Oval Office and the State Department. His freedom came only when US foreign policy dramatically changed. Above all, Prisoner of Lies is an inspiring story of remarkable fortitude and resilience.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/745730Tue, 20 Aug 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/745730 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich Author: Richard J Evans Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “A fascinating and instructive book . . . elegantly written and perceptive.” —Wall Street Journal “Kaleidoscopic . . . A fascinating exploration of individual agency that never loses sight of the larger context . . . Just the kind of probing, nuanced and unsparing study to help us think things through.” —The New York Times Through a connected set of biographical portraits of key Nazi figures that follows power as it radiated out from Hitler to the inner and outer circles of the regime’s leadership, one of our greatest historians answers the enduring question, how does a society come to carry out a program of unspeakable evil? Richard Evans, author of the acclaimed The Third Reich Trilogy and over two dozen other volumes on modern Europe, is our preeminent scholar of Nazi Germany. Having spent half a century searching for the truths behind one of the most horrifying episodes in human history, in Hitler’s People, he brings us back to the original site of the Nazi movement: namely, the lives of its most important members. Working in concentric circles out from Hitler and his closest allies, Evans forms a typological framework of Germany society under Nazi rule from the top down. With a novelist’s eye for detail, Evans explains the Third Reich through the personal failings and professional ambitions of its members, from its most notorious deputies—like Goebbels, the regime’s propagandist, and Himmler, the Holocaust’s chief architect—to the crucial enforcers and instruments of the Nazi agenda that history has largely forgotten—like the schoolteacher Julius Streicher and the actress Leni Riefenstahl.

Title: Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich Author: Richard J Evans Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “A fascinating and instructive book . . . elegantly written and perceptive.” —Wall Street Journal “Kaleidoscopic . . . A fascinating exploration of individual agency that never loses sight of the larger context . . . Just the kind of probing, nuanced and unsparing study to help us think things through.” —The New York Times Through a connected set of biographical portraits of key Nazi figures that follows power as it radiated out from Hitler to the inner and outer circles of the regime’s leadership, one of our greatest historians answers the enduring question, how does a society come to carry out a program of unspeakable evil? Richard Evans, author of the acclaimed The Third Reich Trilogy and over two dozen other volumes on modern Europe, is our preeminent scholar of Nazi Germany. Having spent half a century searching for the truths behind one of the most horrifying episodes in human history, in Hitler’s People, he brings us back to the original site of the Nazi movement: namely, the lives of its most important members. Working in concentric circles out from Hitler and his closest allies, Evans forms a typological framework of Germany society under Nazi rule from the top down. With a novelist’s eye for detail, Evans explains the Third Reich through the personal failings and professional ambitions of its members, from its most notorious deputies—like Goebbels, the regime’s propagandist, and Himmler, the Holocaust’s chief architect—to the crucial enforcers and instruments of the Nazi agenda that history has largely forgotten—like the schoolteacher Julius Streicher and the actress Leni Riefenstahl. Drawing on a wealth of recently unearthed historical sources, Hitler’s People lays bare the inner and outer lives of the characters whose choices led to the deaths of millions. Nearly a century after Hitler’s rise, the leading nations of the West are once again being torn apart by a will to power.

Evans Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Why did so many Germans take part in the crimes of Nazi Germany? How did they come to support Hitler and follow him almost to the very end? For too long, the Nazis have been presented as little more than psychopaths or criminals. In his major new work, renowned historian Richard J. Evans makes use of a mass of recently unearthed new evidence to strip away the veneer of myth and legend from the faces of the Third Reich and present a more realistic view of Nazi perpetrators as human beings who were disturbingly like us. Evans offers rounded, fresh and often startling new portraits of the men and women who created and served Nazi Germany, beginning with Hitler himself and going on to encompass leading figures like Göring, Goebbels and Himmler, enforcers of Hitler’s orders such as Eichmann and Heydrich, propagandists like Leni Riefenstahl, low-level perpetrators such as the notorious Irma Grese and unknown sympathizers and fellow-travellers who helped the regime in myriad ways. Hitler’s People is a chilling, brilliantly written work which allows the reader to understand the texture and values of the Third Reich and just how far individuals will go when so many normal moral constraints have disappeared. ©2024 Richard J.

Free, Eunice Wong, Clara Bingham, Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 19 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A comprehensive and engaging oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes—from former Newsweek reporter and author of the “powerful and moving” (The New York Times) Witness to the Revolution. For lovers of both Barbie and Gloria Steinem, The Movement is the first oral history of the decade that built the modern feminist movement. Through the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it, The Movement tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade, when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be. This engaging history traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating between the years of 1963 and 1973, when a decentralized collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, to the underground abortion network the Janes, to Shirley Chisholm’s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 battle of the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, and political revolution.

Title: A Passionate Mind in Relentless Pursuit: The Vision of Mary McLeod Bethune Series: Part of Significations Author: Noliwe Rooks Narrator: Danielle Lee James Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An intimate and searching account of the life and legacy of one of America’s towering educators, a woman who dared to center the progress of Black women and girls in the larger struggle for political and social liberation When Mary McLeod Bethune died, tributes in newspapers around the country said the same thing: she should be on the Mount Rushmore of Black American achievement. Indeed, Bethune is the only Black American whose statue stands in Statuary Hall in the US Capitol, and yet for most, she remains a marble figure from the dim past. Now, seventy years later, Noliwe Rooks turns Bethune from stone to flesh, showing her to have been a visionary leader with lessons to still teach us as we continue on our journey toward a freer and more just nation. Any serious effort to understand how the Black civil rights generation found role models, vision, and inspiration during their midcentury struggle for political power must place Bethune at its heart. Her success was unlikely: the fifteenth of seventeen children and the first born into freedom, Bethune survived brutal poverty and caste subordination to become the first in her family to learn how to read and to attend college. She gave that same gift to others when in 1904, at age twenty-nine, Bethune welcomed her first class of five girls to the Daytona, Florida, school she had founded and which would become the university that bears her name to this day. Bethune saw education as an essential dimension of the larger struggle for freedom, vitally connected to the vote and to economic self-sufficiency, and she enlisted Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and many other powerful leaders in her cause. Rooks grew up in Florida, in Bethune’s shadow: her grandmother trained to be a teacher at Bethune-Cookman University, and her family vacationed at the all-Black beach that Bethune helped found in one of her many community empowerment projects. The story of how Bethune succeeded in a state with some of the highest lynching rates in the country is, in Rooks’s hands, a moving and astonishing example of the power of a mind and a vision that had few equals. Now, when the stakes of the long struggle for full Black equality in this country are particularly evident—and centered on the state of Florida—it is a gift to have this brilliant and lyrical reckoning with Bethune’s journey from one of our own great educators and scholars of that same struggle.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721840Tue, 23 Jul 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721840 to listen full audiobooks.

It took a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere.” Before it made global headlines as the small town that burned down during a record-breaking heat wave in June 2021, while briefly the hottest place on Earth, Lytton, British Columbia, had a curious past. Named for the author of the infamous line, “It was a dark and stormy night,” Lytton was also where Peter Edwards, organized-crime journalist and author spent his childhood. Although only about 500 people lived in Lytton, Peter liked to joke that he was only the second-best writer to come from his tiny hometown. His grade-school classmate’s nephew Kevin Loring, Nlaka’pamux from Lytton First Nation, had grown up to be a Governor General’s Award–winning playwright.         The Nlaka’pamux called Lytton “The Centre of the World,” a view Buddhists would share in the late twentieth century, as they set up a temple just outside town. A gold rush in 1858 saw conflict with a wave of Californians come to a head with the Canyon War at the junction of the mighty Fraser and Thompson rivers. The Nlaka’pamux lost over thirty lives in that conflict, as did the American gold seekers. In modern times, many outsiders would seek shelter there, often people who just didn’t fit anywhere else and were hoping for a little anonymity in the mountains.         Told from the shared perspective of an Indigenous playwright and the journalist son of a settler doctor who pushed back against the divisions that existed between populations, Lytton portrays all the warmth, humour and sincerity of small-town life. A colourful little town that burned to the ground could be every town’s warning if we don’t take seriously what this unique place has to teach us.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733697Tue, 25 Jun 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733697 to listen full audiobooks.

It took a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere.” Before it made global headlines as the small town that burned down during a record-breaking heat wave in June 2021, while briefly the hottest place on Earth, Lytton, British Columbia, had a curious past. Named for the author of the infamous line, “It was a dark and stormy night,” Lytton was also where Peter Edwards, organized-crime journalist and author spent his childhood. Although only about 500 people lived in Lytton, Peter liked to joke that he was only the second-best writer to come from his tiny hometown. His grade-school classmate’s nephew Kevin Loring, Nlaka’pamux from Lytton First Nation, had grown up to be a Governor General’s Award–winning playwright.         The Nlaka’pamux called Lytton “The Centre of the World,” a view Buddhists would share in the late twentieth century, as they set up a temple just outside town. A gold rush in 1858 saw conflict with a wave of Californians come to a head with the Canyon War at the junction of the mighty Fraser and Thompson rivers. The Nlaka’pamux lost over thirty lives in that conflict, as did the American gold seekers. In modern times, many outsiders would seek shelter there, often people who just didn’t fit anywhere else and were hoping for a little anonymity in the mountains.         Told from the shared perspective of an Indigenous playwright and the journalist son of a settler doctor who pushed back against the divisions that existed between populations, Lytton portrays all the warmth, humour and sincerity of small-town life. A colourful little town that burned to the ground could be every town’s warning if we don’t take seriously what this unique place has to teach us.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/three-worlds-memoirs-of-an-arab-jew-by-avi-shlaim--65146345https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738474 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew Author: Avi Shlaim Narrator: Neil Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 54 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In July 1950, Avi Shlaim, only five, and his family were forced into exile, fleeing their beloved Iraq to the new state of Israel. Today the once flourishing Jewish community of Iraq, at one time numbering over 130,000 and tracing its history back 2,600 years, has all but vanished. Why so? One explanation speaks of the timeless clash between Arab and Jewish civilizations and a heroic Zionist mission to rescue Eastern Jews from backward nations and unceasing persecution. Avi Shlaim tears up this script. His parents had many Muslim friends in Baghdad and no interest in Zionism. As anti-Semitism surged in Iraq, the Zionist underground fanned the flames. Yet when Iraqi Jews fled to Israel, they faced an uncertain future, their history was rewritten to serve a Zionist narrative. This memoir breathes life into an almost forgotten world. Weaving together the personal and the political, Three Worlds offers a fresh perspective on Arab-Jews, caught in the crossfire of Zionism and nationalism.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738474Tue, 25 Jun 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738474 to listen full audiobooks.

Thousands of terracotta soldiers guarding the tomb of a tyrant. Ying Zheng was born to rule the world, claiming descent from gods, crowned king while still a child. He was the product of a heartless, brutal regime devoted to domination, groomed from an early age to become the First Emperor of China after a century of scheming by his ancestors. He faked a foreign threat to justify an invasion. He ruled a nation under twenty-four-hour surveillance. He ordered his interrogators to torture suspects. He boiled his critics alive. He buried dissenting scholars. He declared war on death itself. Jonathan Clements uses modern archaeology and ancient texts to outline the First Emperor's career and the grand schemes that followed unification: the Great Wall that guarded his frontiers and the famous Terracotta Army that watches over his tomb.

A prolific diarist, his political memoirs have been compared to Pepys in their detail, scope and accuracy. Three volumes are included here, read by Benn himself, together with four fascinating programmes focussing on the man behind the diaries. Part I: Tony Benn’s Diaries The Benn Tapes 1 – For over 25 years, Tony Benn sat late into the night dictating his personal account of the daily happenings at the heart of government. In this unique series, he shares his remarkable recordings from history’s front line, recalling events such as Harold Wilson’s surprise 1976 resignation; the miners’ strike of 1984-1985 and the 1992 general election. The Benn Tapes 2 – This second series of behind-the-scenes revelations sees Benn recounting why he believes nuclear power is unsafe, disclosing what went on during Cabinet reshuffles and tracing the split in the party following its 1979 defeat, the emergence of the Social Democratic Party, and his challenge to deputy leader Denis Healy. Free at Last!: The Diaries 1991-2001 – Spanning Tony Benn’s final decade as an MP, this third volume covers the Gulf War, the rise of New Labour, the death of Diana Princess of Wales and peace in Northern Ireland. Mixing political observations with a moving account of family life, it is full of humour, insight, joy and sadness. Part 2: Tony Benn’s Life In the Psychiatrist’s Chair: Tony Benn – Dr Anthony Clare talks to the legendary parliamentarian about his life, his career and how his guiding principles were influenced by his parents’ social and political convictions. Sentimental Journey: Tony Benn – Arthur Smith accompanies Tony Benn on a trip back to the place where he was born, grew up, and spent most of his political life – the City of Westminster. With Great Pleasure: Tony Benn – The veteran politician presents a selection of the prose and poetry that has shaped his personal philosophy, including the words of Mahatma Gandhi, Dwight D Eisenhower, Oscar Wilde and John Bunyan. Night Waves: Tony Benn – In an event from the 2008 Free Thinking festival, Tony Benn talks about the value of experience and discusses his own life experience with presenter Susan Hitch and the audience.

It wasn’t until her aunt mentioned a stowaway ancestor and she began to dig more deeply into the story of the land she lives on today in suburban Austin, that Goudeau discovered her family’s far more complicated role in Texas history: from a swindling land grant agent in the earliest days of Anglo settlement that brought slavery to Mexican land, up through her Texas Ranger great-uncle, who helped a sociopathic sheriff cover up mass murder.  Tracking her ancestors’ involvement in pivotal moments from before the Texas Revolution through today, We Were Illegal is at once an intimate and character-driven narrative and an insider’s look at a state that prides itself on its history. It is an act of reckoning and recovery on a personal scale, as well as a reflection of the work we all must do to dismantle the whitewashed narratives that are passed down through families, communities, and textbooks. And it is a story filled with hope—by facing these hypocrisies and long-buried histories, Goudeau explores with us how to move past this fractured time, take accountability for our legacy, and learn to be better, more honest ancestors. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with a family tree.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715883Tue, 18 Jun 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715883 to listen full audiobooks.

Yet often she’s a figure more out of myth than history, almost a comic-book superhero. Despite being barely five feet tall, unable to read, and suffering from a brain injury, she managed to escape from her own enslavement, return again and again to lead others north to freedom without loss of life, speak out powerfully against slavery, and then become the first American woman in history to lead a military raid, freeing some seven hundred people. You could almost say she’s America’s Robin Hood, a miraculous vision, often rightly celebrated but seldom understood. Tiya Miles’s extraordinary Night Flyer changes all that. With her characteristic tenderness and imaginative genius, Miles explores beyond the stock historical grid to weave Tubman’s life into the fabric of her world. She probes the ecological reality of Tubman’s surroundings and examines her kinship with other enslaved women who similarly passed through a spiritual wilderness and recorded those travels in profound and moving memoirs. What emerges, uncannily, is a human being whose mysticism becomes more palpable the more we understand it—a story that offers us powerful inspiration for our own time of troubles. Harriet Tubman traversed many boundaries, inner and outer. Now, thanks to Tiya Miles, she becomes an even clearer and sharper signal from the past, one that can help us to echolocate a more just and sustainable path. © 2024 Mora-Catlett Family / Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715823Tue, 18 Jun 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715823 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Ben & Me: In Search of a Founder's Formula for a Long and Useful Life Author: Eric Weiner Narrator: Eric Weiner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 48 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Part biography, part travelogue, part self-help, New York Times bestselling author Eric Weiner follows in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin, mining his life for inspiration and practical lessons for living a purposeful and virtuous life. Ben Franklin lingers in our lives and in our imaginations. One of only two non-presidents to appear on US currency, Franklin was a founder, statesman, scientist, inventor, diplomat, publisher, humorist, and philosopher. He believed in the American experiment, but Ben Franklin’s greatest experiment was…Ben Franklin. In that spirit of betterment, Eric Weiner embarks on an ambitious quest to live the way Ben lived. “A warm combination of homage and introspective memoir” (Kirkus Reviews), Ben & Me is a guide to living and thinking well, as Ben Franklin did. It is also about curiosity, respect for virtue, and, most of all, the elusive goal of self-improvement. As Weiner follows Franklin from Philadelphia to Paris, Boston to London, he attempts to uncover Ben’s life lessons, large and small. We learn how to improve a relationship with someone by inducing them to do a favor for you—a psychological phenomenon now known as The Ben Franklin Effect. We learn about the printing press (the internet of its day), early medicine, diplomatic intrigue, and, of course, electricity. And we learn about ethics, persuasion, humor, regret, appetite, and so much more. At a time when history is either neglected or contested, Weiner argues we have much to learn from the past and that we’d all be better off if we acted and thought a bit more like Ben did, even if he didn’t always live up to his own high ideals. Engaging, smart, moving, and quirky, Ben & Me distills the essence of Franklin’s ideas into grounded, practical wisdom for all of us.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723015Tue, 11 Jun 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723015 to listen full audiobooks.

Growing up in the Hasidic community of Brooklyn’s Borough Park, Sara Glass knew one painful truth: what was expected of her and what she desperately wanted were impossibly opposed. Tormented by her attraction to women and trapped in a loveless arranged marriage, she found herself unable to conform to her religious upbringing and soon, she made the difficult decision to walk away from the world she knew. Sara’s journey to self-acceptance began with the challenging battle for a divorce and custody of her children, an act that left her on the verge of estrangement from her family and community. Controlled by the fear of losing custody of her two children, she forced herself to remain loyal to the compulsory heteronormativity baked into Hasidic Judaism and married again. But after suffering profound loss and a shocking sexual assault, Sara decided to finally be completely true to herself.

But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek, I’d see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on. It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek.

Spock’s popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad’s personal life, characterizing us as a “close family.” But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings—even something akin to love—especially when we were celebrating my father’s many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained. My resentment towards my father kept building through the years until we were estranged. I wanted things to be different for my children.

Fedarko doesn’t describe awe; he induces it.” —The New York Times Book Review * “Passionate…memorable…life-affirming.” —The Wall Street Journal From the author of the beloved bestseller The Emerald Mile, a rollicking and poignant account of an epic 750-mile odyssey, on foot, through the heart of America’s most magnificent national park and the grandest wilderness on earth. Two friends, zero preparation, one dream. A few years after quitting his job to follow an ill-advised dream of becoming a guide on the Colorado River, Kevin Fedarko was approached by his best friend, National Geographic photographer Pete McBride, with a vision as bold as it was harebrained. Together, they would embark on an end-to-end traverse of the Grand Canyon, a journey that, McBride promised, would be “a walk in the park.” Against his better judgment, Fedarko agreed, unaware that the small cluster of experts who had completed the crossing billed it as “the toughest hike in the world.” The ensuing ordeal, which lasted more than a year, revealed a place that was deeper, richer, and far more complex than anything the two men had imagined—and came within a hair’s breadth of killing them both. They struggled to make their way through a vertical labyrinth of thousand-foot cliffs and crumbling ledges where water is measured out by the teaspoon and every step is fraught with peril—and where, even today, there is still no trail along the length of the country’s best-known and most iconic park. Along the way, veteran long-distance hikers ushered them into secret pockets, invisible to the millions of tourists gathered on the rim, where only a handful of humans have ever laid eyes. Members of the canyon’s eleven Native American tribes brought them face-to-face with layers of history that forced them to reconsider myths at the center of our national parks—and exposed them to the threats of commercial tourism. Even Fedarko’s dying father, who had first pointed him toward the canyon more than forty years earlier but had never set foot there himself, opened him to a new way of seeing the landscape. And always, there was the great gorge itself: austere and unforgiving but suffused with magic, drenched in wonder, and redeemed by its own transcendent beauty. A singular portrait of a sublime place, A Walk in the Park is a deeply moving plea for the preservation of America’s greatest natural treasure.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719057Tue, 28 May 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719057 to listen full audiobooks.

He made it his mission to record the war, giving visual form to what most citizens of the new United States thought: that they had brought into the world a great and unprecedented political experiment. His purpose, he wrote, was 'to preserve and diffuse the memory of the noblest series of actions which have ever presented themselves in the history of man.' Although Trumbull's contemporaries viewed him as a painter, Trumbull thought of himself as a historian. Richard Brookhiser tells Trumbull's story of acclaim and recognition, a story complicated by provincialism, war, a messy personal life, and, ultimately, changing fashion. He shows how the artist's fifty-year project embodied the meaning of American exceptionalism and played a key role in defining the values of the new country.

Engle Narrator: David Colacci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 3 minutes Release date: May 28, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Widely known as the 'poor man's lawyer' in antebellum Boston, John Albion Andrew (1818–1867) was involved in nearly every cause and case that advanced social and racial justice in Boston in the years preceding the Civil War. Inspired by the legacies of John Quincy Adams and Ralph Waldo Emerson, and mentored by Charles Sumner, Andrew devoted himself to the battle for equality. By day, he fought to protect those condemned to the death penalty, women seeking divorce, and fugitives ensnared by the Fugitive Slave Law. By night, he coordinated logistics and funding for the Underground Railroad as it ferried enslaved African Americans northward. In this revealing and accessible biography, Stephen D. Engle traces Andrew's life and legacy, giving this important, but largely forgotten, figure his due. Rising to national prominence during the Civil War years as the governor of Massachusetts, Andrew raised the African American regiment known as the Glorious 54th and rallied thousands of soldiers to the Union cause. Upon his sudden death in 1867, a correspondent for Harper's Weekly wrote, 'Not since the news came of Abraham Lincoln's death were so many hearts truly smitten.']]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/765265Tue, 28 May 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/765265 to listen full audiobooks.

Boehmer explores the long trajectory of Mandela's life, explaining first the historical and political context of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and then the post-apartheid period of difficult reconciliation, including the shifts and changes in Mandela's reputation since the millennium.

'This guy has better Punjabi than both of us and he's only half Punjabi.' Only. Half. I stared at those words. The intent behind the comment was in no way malicious, but it hurt. I felt diminished. I felt like I was being robbed of something essential to me. And as I stared at my screen, realisation dawned. '#bothnothalf' I replied. For over twenty-five years, actor Jassa Ahluwalia described himself as 'half Indian, half English'. His fluent Punjabi always prompted bewilderment, medical staff questioned the legitimacy of his name, and the world of casting taught him he wasn't 'the right kind of mixed-race'. Feeling caught between two worlds, it wasn't long before Jassa embarked on a call to action: we need to change how we think and talk about mixed identity. By delving into the media we grew up consuming and the legacies of empire we have been taught, Ahluwalia asks: is there anything to be learnt from Rudyard Kipling? Why were movie stars urged to hide their mixed identities? To what extent did colonialism encourage or hinder mixed marriages? Is nationalism outdated? How can the politics of class and queer liberation inform our understanding of mixed identity? Both Not Half is a rallying cry for a new and inclusive future. It's a journey of self-discovery that unearths the historical roots of modern mixed identity as we know it, braving to deconstruct the binaries we have inherited and the narratives we passively accept. Part-memoir, part-manifesto: this is a campaign for belonging in a divided world.

Title: House of Lilies: The Dynasty that Made Medieval France Author: Justine Firnhaber-Baker Narrator: Justine Firnhaber-Baker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 6 minutes Release date: May 16, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. One of the great epics of Europe's history, the story of the rise and rise of the Capetian dynasty dominates the Middle Ages. Starting in the tenth century from an insecure foothold around Paris, the Capetians built a nation that stretched from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and from the Rhône to the Pyrenees. They founded practices and institutions that endured until the Revolution, transformed Paris from a muddy backwater to a splendid metropole, and popularized the fleur-de-lys, the lily, as the emblem of France. Time and again, their opponents woefully misjudged who they were up against, as through guile, ruthlessness, luck and marriage the Capetians disposed of them all. This is their story, the story of the most powerful kingdom in Christendom. It is a tale of religious upheaval, heroism, adulterous affairs, holy wars, pogroms and persecution. From Hugh Capet to Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Capetians were men and women of vision and ambition, who considered themselves chosen by God to fulfil a great destiny. If they were mistaken in their assumptions and merciless in their methods, in one respect they were right. They did not simply rule France: they created it. House of Lilies is a highly enjoyable, state-of-the-art account of this extraordinary sequence of events, set against one of the great eras in the history of western Europe, a time of remarkable cultural efflorescence. Justine Firnhaber-Baker brilliantly conveys not only the sheer glamour of the French court, but also the intellectual achievements, the battles and the centrality of religion, as well as the series of catastrophes that led to the dynasty's ultimate demise. ©2024 Justine Firnhaber-Baker (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722506Thu, 16 May 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722506 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Klansman's Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism Author: R. Derek Black Narrator: R. Derek Black Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 3 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From the former heir apparent to White nationalism, an astonishing memoir of a childhood built on fear, and of breaking from a community of hateDerek Black was raised to take over the White nationalist movement in the United States. Derek’s father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet’s first White supremacist website—Derek built the kids’ page—and David Duke was a mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability and American history, was all Derek knew. It was their inheritance, their community, their identity. Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced White nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused. The majority of their family stopped speaking to Derek, and they disappeared into academia, convinced that they had done so much harm that there was no place for them in public life. But in 2016, as Derek watched the rise of Donald Trump, they recognized language and arguments they had once helped cultivate—and they knew that they couldn’t stay silent. The Klansman’s Son is a thoughtful, insightful, and moving account of a singular life, with important lessons for our contentious times. The place where Derek’s world turned upside down—New College of Florida—has become a prominent battleground in the fight over race, gender, and education, and few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the White nationalist movement likeDerek. As coded language and creeping authoritarianism spread the ideas of White nationalists, this is an essential book from a powerful voice.“Your family or your soul? That is what the choice finally came down to for Derek Black, whose searching memoir has much to teach us all. Surprises and insights abound in this page-turner composed with candor and grace. For instance, why do White power recruiters focus on those who say, ‘I’m not a racist, but … ’?

The Klansman’s Son is a must-read for all who hunger for hope in these cruel times.”—Nancy MacLean, author of Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America and Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-stars-will-still-be-there-what-my-daughter-taught-me-about-love-life-and-loss-by-nicola-nuttall--65146377https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721171 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Stars Will Still Be There: What my daughter taught me about love, life and loss Author: Nicola Nuttall Narrator: Melanie Crawley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 12 minutes Release date: May 9, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The inspiring, life-affirming memoir from Nicola Nuttall about her incredible daughter Laura When Nicola Nuttall was told that her 18-year-old daughter Laura had only 12 months to live, following a diagnosis of the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, she couldn’t begin to process her emotions. It was her greatest fear come true. But while her mother struggled to adjust and searched for new treatments, Laura made a decision: she would live her life to the full and embark on an extraordinary bucket list. Meeting Michelle Obama, piloting a Royal Navy ship, sky diving, going on safari in South Africa, driving monster trucks, taking tea at the Ritz, dancing on stage in front of thousands and graduating from university were just some of the many adventures Laura undertook. The Stars Will Still Be There is Nicola’s raw but beautifully written account of helping her daughter make the most of her remaining time, while dealing with her own pain along with that of her younger daughter Gracie and husband, Mark. This is a heartbreaking, life-changing memoir that reveals the fragility of humans, the power of love and why we should all ‘Be More Laura’ every single day.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721171Thu, 09 May 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721171 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Guest Privileges: Queer Lives and Finding Home in the Middle East Author: Gaar Adams Narrator: Gaar Adams Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: May 9, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. An intimate and illuminating account of queer lives and migration, homemaking and community in the Gulf, from a brilliant new voice in narrative non-fiction Upon moving to the Gulf States – where penalties for queer acts include deportation, imprisonment, torture and death – Gaar Adams wants to understand why LGBTQ+ migrants might choose to live amid such peril. From the UAE to Bahrain and Oman to Saudi Arabia – a region where four out of five residents are noncitizens – he begins riskily gathering interviews outside the tightly controlled state media, leading with what he thinks is a simple question: Isn't it harder for you to make a life here? But as unforgettable residents share a kaleidoscope of stories – from uproarious Filipino salon workers throwing secret drag parties to a courageous Pakistani farmhand helping his compatriots smuggle themselves across borders – cracks emerge in the framing of his enquiry, revealing disquieting assumptions about the motivations, places and identities of others. As Gaar begins his own clandestine queer relationship, fault lines and deeper questions begin to emerge: about what we perpetuate and refuse to examine, and how we balance opportunity, risk, subversion and assimilation. Weaving revealing memoir with unprecedented reportage, Guest Privileges is a decade-long journey of dislocation not just through the Gulf States – one of the most maligned and misunderstood regions in the world – but into the very nature of home, belonging and how we form a life and community. ©2024 Gaar Adams (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/759619Thu, 09 May 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/759619 to listen full audiobooks.

In this reexamination of the escape and its aftermath, the Anglin brothers' nephew presents compelling evidence that his uncles did, in fact, survive and eventually made their way to Brazil, where they married and had children. Using official, government documents showing how mobster Mickey Cohen may have been involved in the escape, some revealing letters from fellow inmate Whitey Bulger, and recorded testimony from the person who facilitated their escape to Brazil, the authors make a strong case for the Anglin brothers' survival.

Title: The Birds That Audubon Missed: Discovery and Desire in the American Wilderness Author: Kenn Kaufman Narrator: Mack Sanderson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 6 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Renowned naturalist Kenn Kaufman examines the scientific discoveries of John James Audubon and his artistic and ornithologist peers in this fascinating “blend of history, science, art, biography, and memoir” (Booklist, starred review) that is “a bird lovers’ delight” (Kirkus Reviews). Raging ambition. Towering egos. Competition under a veneer of courtesy. Heroic effort combined with plagiarism, theft, exaggeration, and fraud. This was the state of bird study in eastern North America during the early 1800s, as a handful of intrepid men raced to find the last few birds that were still unknown to science. The most famous name in the bird world was John James Audubon, who painted spectacular portraits of birds. But although his images were beautiful, creating great art was not his main goal. Instead, he aimed to illustrate (and write about) as many different species as possible, obsessed with trying to outdo his rival, Alexander Wilson. George Ord, a fan and protégé of Wilson, held a bitter grudge against Audubon for years, claiming he had faked much of his information and his scientific claims. A few of Audubon’s birds were pure fiction, and some of his writing was invented or plagiarized. Other naturalists of the era, including Charles Bonaparte (nephew of Napoleon), John Townsend, and Thomas Nuttall, also became entangled in the scientific derby, as they stumbled toward an understanding of the natural world—an endeavor that continues to this day. Despite this intense competition, a few species—including some surprisingly common songbirds, hawks, sandpipers, and more—managed to evade discovery for years. Here, renowned bird expert and artist Kenn Kaufman explores this period in history from a new angle, by considering the birds these people discovered and, especially, the ones they missed. Kaufman has created portraits of the birds that Audubon never saw, attempting to paint them in that artist’s own stunning style, showing how our understanding of birds continues to gain clarity, even as some mysteries persist from Audubon’s time until ours.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733578Tue, 07 May 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733578 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Demon of Unrest: Abraham Lincoln & America’s Road to Civil War Author: Erik Larson Narrator: Will Patton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The author of The Splendid and the Vile brings to life the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War in this 'riveting reexamination of a nation in tumult' (Los Angeles Times). On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fuelled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter. Master storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln’s election and the Confederacy’s shelling of Sumter – a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were ‘so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them’. At the heart of this suspense-filled narrative are Major Robert Anderson, Sumter’s commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardour at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, wife of a prominent planter, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between both. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln, battling with his duplicitous Secretary of State, William Seward, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable – one that will eventually kill 750,000 Americans. Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink – a dark reminder that we often don’t see a cataclysm coming until it’s too late.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721169Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721169 to listen full audiobooks.

Although a nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire. As emperor, Julian set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies and the corrupting influence of Christianity. Christian writers and historians have seen Julian much differently: as a traitor to God and violent oppressor of Christians.

A Palestinian prisoner’s memoir of thirty years’ captivity, and a love letter to the wall that encircles and comforts him This is the story of a wall that somehow chose me as the witness of what it said and did Nasser Abu Srour grew up in a refugee camp in the West Bank, on the outskirts of Bethlehem. As a child, he played in its shadow and explored the little world within the camp. As he grew older, he began questioning the boundaries that limited his existence. Later, sentenced to life in prison, with no hope of parole, he found himself surrounded by a physical wall. This is the story of how, over thirty years in captivity, he crafted a new definition of freedom. Turning to writings by philosophers as varied as Derrida, Kirkegaard and Freud, he begins to let go of freedom as a question that demanded an answer, in order to preserve it as a dream. The wall becomes his stable point of reference, his anchor, both physically and psychologically. As each year brings with it new waves of releases of prisoners, he dares to hope, and seeks refuge in the wall when these hopes are dashed. And, in a small miracle, he finds love with a lawyer from the outside – while in her absence, the wall is his solace and his curse. A testimony of how the most difficult of circumstances can build a person up instead of tearing them down, The Tale of a Wall is an extraordinary record of the vast confinement and power of the mind. ©2024 Nasser Abu Srour (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/736814Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/736814 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Martyr and the Red Kimono: A Fearless Priest’s Sacrifice and A New Generation of Hope in Japan Author: Naoko Abe Narrator: Ami Okumura Jones Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 52 minutes Release date: April 18, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. On the 14th of August 1941, a Polish monk named Maximilian Maria Kolbe was murdered in Auschwitz. Kolbe's life had been remarkable. Fiercely intelligent and driven, he founded a movement of Catholicism and spent several years in Nagasaki, ministering to the 'hidden Christians' who had emerged after centuries of oppression. A Polish nationalist as well as a monk, he gave sanctuary to fleeing refugees and ran Poland's largest publishing operation, drawing the wrath of the Nazis. His death was no less remarkable: he volunteered to die, saving the life of a fellow prisoner. It was an act that profoundly transformed the lives of two Japanese men. Tomei Ozaki was just seventeen when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, destroying his home and his family. Masatoshi Asari worked on a farm in Hokkaido during the war and was haunted by the inhumane treatment of prisoners in a nearby camp. Forged in the crucible of an unforgiving war, both men drew inspiration from Kolbe's sacrifice, dedicating their lives to humanity and justice. In The Martyr and the Red Kimono, award-winning author Naoko Abe weaves together a deeply moving and inspirational true story of resistance, sacrifice, guilt and atonement. ©2024 Naoko Abe (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731647Thu, 18 Apr 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731647 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Ashoka: Portrait of a Philosopher King Author: Patrick Olivelle Narrator: Neil Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 16, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: There are few historical figures more integral to South Asian history than Emperor Ashoka, a third-century BCE king who ruled over a larger area of the Indian subcontinent than anyone else before British colonial rule. Ashoka sought not only to rule his territory but also to give it a unity of purpose and aspiration, to unify the people of his vastly heterogeneous empire not by a cult of personality but by the cult of an idea—'dharma'—which served as the linchpin of a new moral order. He aspired to forge a new moral philosophy that would be internalized not only by the people of his empire but also by rulers and subjects of other countries, and would form the foundation for his theory of international relations, in which practicing dharma would bring international conflicts to an end. His fame spread far and wide both in India and in other parts of Asia, and it prompted diverse reimaginations of the king and his significance. In this deeply researched book, Patrick Olivelle draws on Ashoka's inscriptions and on the art and architecture he pioneered to craft a detailed picture of Ashoka as a ruler, a Buddhist, a moral philosopher, and an ecumenist who governed a vast multiethnic, multilinguistic, and multireligious empire.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722939Tue, 16 Apr 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722939 to listen full audiobooks.

Frankl was a medical doctor at a psychiatric hospital in 1942 when he became a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps in World War II. In 1946, he published this book about his camp experiences and a method of psychotherapy he developed. Forty-five years later, it was still named one of the most influential books in the United States. Part One describes his three years in four Nazi concentration camps, which took the lives of his wife, father, mother, and brother. He closely observed inmates’ reactions to their situation, as well as how survivors came to terms with their liberation. Part Two, introducing logotherapy, is an academic discussion of the psychological reactions experienced by all inmates to one degree or another. It solidified Frankl’s early theory that humanity’s primary motivational force is finding meaning in one’s life.

Title: Spinoza: Freedom's Messiah Series: Part of Jewish Lives Author: Ian Buruma Narrator: Lee Beddow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 22 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Ian Buruma explores the life and death of Baruch Spinoza, the Enlightenment thinker whose belief in freedom of thought and speech resonates in our own time Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza (1632–1677) was a radical free thinker who led a life guided by strong moral principles despite his disbelief in an all-seeing God. Seen by many as Satan's disciple during his lifetime, Spinoza has been regarded as a secular saint since his death. Many contradictory beliefs have been attached to his name: rationalism or metaphysics, atheism or pantheism, liberalism or despotism, Jewishness or anti-Semitism. However, there is no question that he viewed freedom of thought and speech as essential to an open and free society. In this insightful account, the award-winning author Ian Buruma stresses the importance of the time and place that shaped Spinoza, beginning with the Sephardim of Amsterdam and followed by the politics of the Dutch Republic. Though Spinoza rejected the basic assumptions of his family's faith, and was consequently expelled from his Sephardic community, Buruma argues that Spinoza did indeed lead a modern Jewish life. To Heine, Hess, Marx, Freud, and no doubt many others today, Spinoza exemplified how to be Jewish without believing in Judaism.

Proprietary Zionism, Gans argues, is the version that is most popular among the Israeli Jewish public. It conceives of the land of Israel/historic Palestine as the property of the Jewish people. It also conceives of the entire Jewish people as belonging to Israel. Hierarchical Zionism is common among Israel's educated elites and interprets the Jewish right to self-determination as a right to hegemony within the Israeli state. It remains silent on the relationship between Israeli and non-Israeli Jews. Post-Zionist approaches, conversely, critique the rationale for the continued existence of the state of Israel as a Jewish state. Gans disagrees with these approaches, and in their stead advocates egalitarian Zionism, which is based on an egalitarian interpretation of the right to national self-determination. As such, it interprets the historical link between the Jews and the land of Israel in terms of identity rather than property.

Title: Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family Author: Najla Said Narrator: Najla Said Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 5 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A frank and entertaining memoir, from the daughter of Edward Said, about growing up second-generation Arab American and struggling with that identity. The daughter of a prominent Palestinian father and a sophisticated Lebanese mother, Najla Said grew up in New York City, confused and conflicted about her cultural background and identity. Said knew that her parents identified deeply with their homelands, but growing up in a Manhattan world that was defined largely by class and conformity, she felt unsure about who she was supposed to be, and was often in denial of the differences she sensed between her family and those around her. The fact that her father was the famous intellectual and outspoken Palestinian advocate Edward Said only made things more complicated. She may have been born a Palestinian Lebanese American, but in Said’s mind she grew up first as a WASP, having been baptized Episcopalian in Boston and attending the wealthy Upper East Side girls’ school Chapin, then as a teenage Jew, essentially denying her true roots, even to herself—until, ultimately, the psychological toll of all this self-hatred began to threaten her health. As she grew older, making increased visits to Palestine and Beirut, Said’s worldview shifted. The attacks on the World Trade Center, and some of the ways in which Americans responded, finally made it impossible for Said to continue to pick and choose her identity, forcing her to see herself and her passions more clearly. Today, she has become an important voice for second-generation Arab Americans nationwide.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737662Tue, 26 Mar 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737662 to listen full audiobooks.

Women are joining together to change power dynamics in politics, the home, and the workplace.On election day, Joan Gelfand casts her vote for George McGovern and boards a plane from New York to California. With one introduction to a woman musician, Joan’s journey to become a writer is born. Embraced by a thriving women’s community of artists, filmmakers, musicians, poets, and writers, Joan is encouraged to find her voice.Mentored by paradigm-changing writers, Joan finds the courage to face her darkest fears through poetry and art, mining the trauma she experienced after losing her father and questioning her Jewish identity. Reminiscent of Paris in the twenties, Greenwich Village in the sixties, and Berlin in the eighties, Berkeley in the seventies was the “it” city of America.Outside Voices reports the ups and downs of finding one’s way as an artist, living with a women’s band, forging an independent Jewish identity, founding a women’s restaurant, and becoming a published writer and songwriter while exploring the limits of sexuality and spirituality. The story includes road trips to music festivals in the woods, beaches in Mexico, concerts in Southern California, and a retreat in the Pacific Northwest.A triumphant story of determination and will, Outside Voices is a backstage look at the women’s movement that sets the stage for decades of change. This book is a firsthand look at how the power of community emboldened innovation, social change, and self-discovery.“Joan Gelfand has written a compelling book about coming of age in Berkeley in the second wave of feminism circa 1970s.

Seth's nonfiction second book, the memoir Shopping for Porcupine, was even more compelling for many—the same raw details of a homesteading upbringing, but intensely personal.

Both Jews and Christians developed myths about his cruelty and rashness: in Christian tradition he was cast as the tyrant who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents; in the Talmud, despite fond memories of his glorious Temple in Jerusalem, he was recalled as a persecutor of rabbis. The life of Herod is better documented than that of any other Jew from antiquity, and Martin Goodman examines the extensive literary and archaeological evidence to provide a vivid portrait of Herod in his sociopolitical context: his Idumaean origins, his installation by Rome as king of Judaea and cultivation of leading Romans, his massive architectural projects, and his presentation of himself as a Jew, most strikingly through the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple.

Title: [Spanish] - El feminismo Author: María Elena Walsh Narrator: María Abadi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 29 minutes Release date: March 21, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Todavía los movimientos de mujeres no habían eclosionado en la Argentina, cuando María Elena Walsh escribía y cantaba palabras incómodas, cuestionaba los rígidos roles asignados a mujeres y varones, y se manifestaba contra la misoginia y la violencia machista. Qué es el feminismo reúne buena parte de esos textos, lanzados desde diarios y revistas, columnas radiales, discos y escenarios. Escritos, compuestos o publicados a lo largo de unos cincuenta años -algunos inéditos-, son de sorprendente actualidad, la confirman como la referente intelectual que es para muchas generaciones de argentinos y la revelan, además, como una precursora y una feminista pionera. Cuando todavía no había aparecido en la Argentina el colectivo Ni una menos, ni habían salido a las calles miles de chicas reclamando por el fin del patriarcado, María Elena Walsh escribía, cantaba y pronunciaba palabras incómodas, cuestionaba los rígidos roles asignados a mujeres y varones, se resistía a lavar los platos por mandato y se manifestaba contra la misoginia y la violencia machista.

Escritos a lo largo de cincuenta años -algunos inéditos-, son de sorprendente actualidad, la confirman como la referente intelectual que trasciende generaciones y la revelan, además, como pionera y precursora de la reciente eclosión de los movimientos de mujeres. Sin perder el humor y la paciencia, Walsh persuade con naturalidad y el alcance de su compromiso ético la ha convertido en un símbolo que enriquece y renueva el feminismo en la Argentina. «Quien no fue mujer / ni trabajador / piensa que el de ayer / fue un tiempo mejor / y al compás de la nostalgia / hoy bailamos por error». «Las mujeres, como los negros, los colonizados, la clase trabajadora, a medida que tomamos conciencia, menos queremos dádivas; queremos lo que nos pertenece por derecho y nos arrebatan día a día, es decir, todo. Las mujeres, que fuimos custodias de la vida -para que fuera rifada en guerras-, queremos más que nunca defenderla de los fabricantes de muerte.

As a child Janet is haunted by the eerie hush surrounding her parents' experiences. George and Katherine, two professional musicians and Holocaust survivors, bury the memories of who and what they were before, silencing the past in order to live. Janet finally unravels her Holocaust heritage when she stumbles upon a clue. After the war, George performed morale-boosting programs throughout Bavaria in a twenty-member orchestra of concentration camp survivors. Although Janet also becomes a cellist, her father never discloses that two of the programs, in 1948, were led by the legendary American maestro, Leonard Bernstein. Janet's father was more fortunate than others. When he was rounded up for hard labor, narrowly missing deportation to Auschwitz, a music-loving Nazi guard gave him gloves to protect his cello-playing hands. Janet's memoir of the Holocaust is deeply personal and illuminating. Through humor and colorful story-telling, she weaves her parents' life into her own and captures the intensity of their life experiences. The lingering scars are healed through the sustenance and power of music, and their music-making unites people from generation to generation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734710Tue, 19 Mar 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734710 to listen full audiobooks.

Ambedkar as the most powerful advocate of equality and fraternity in modern India. While the vibrant Dalit movement recognizes Ambedkar as an agent for social change, the intellectual class has celebrated him as the key architect of the Indian Constitution and the political establishment has sought to limit his concerns to the question of reservations. This remarkable volume seeks to unpack the radical in Ambedkar's legacy by examining his life work from hitherto unexplored perspectives.Although revered by millions today primarily as a Dalit icon, Ambedkar was a serious scholar of India's history, society and foreign policy. He was also among the first dedicated human rights lawyers, as well as a journalist and a statesman. Critically evaluating his thought and work, the essays in this book-by Jean Drèze, Partha Chatterjee, Sukhadeo Thorat, Manu Bhagavan, Anupama Rao and other internationally renowned names-discuss Ambedkar's theory on minority rights, the consequences of the mass conversion of Dalits to Buddhism, Dalit oppression in the context of racism and anti-Semitism, and the value of his thought for Marxism and feminism, among other global concerns.An extraordinary collection of immense breadth and scholarship that challenges the popular understanding of Ambedkar, The Radical in Ambedkar is essential reading for all those who wish to imagine a new future.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/764695Tue, 19 Mar 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/764695 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Beyond Hope Author: Bariz Shah Narrator: Ubai Dahoud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: March 6, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A powerful story of how one man didn't let other people define him 'Bariz gifts us his truth-telling, delivered with unwavering optimism.' Matt Brown, author of She Is Not Your Rehab 'Beautifully written. Takes us right inside a young person's life and is ultimately uplifting in the way they take control of that life.' Kathryn Ryan, RNZ Nine to Noon At age 18, Bariz Shah ended up in an Auckland prison. As an Afghan migrant who was deeply affected by 9/11, Bariz spiralled from schoolyard fights into crime and drugs - until prison made him rethink the story of his life. Years later, in Christchurch, Bariz had turned everything around when a terrorist walked into the local mosque and took the lives of 51 people in his community. Driven by a new purpose, Bariz and his wife Saba raised money to return to Afghanistan and establish 51 small businesses in honour of those they lost. In this memoir about finding self-belief, belonging and positive change, Bariz's story reminds us that we always have the power to change ourselves for the better. 'The book is sensitive and insightful about how pain comes into a life and how it lasts.' Phillip Matthews, The Press 'Extraordinary. A powerful story of redemption and hope.' Hon Lianne Dalziel CNZM, former Mayor of Christchurch 'Bariz has been through adversity and emerged with love, care and kindness. He shows that nothing is impossible.'

Title: My Disappearing Mother: A Memoir of Magic and Loss in the Country of Dementia Author: Suzanne Finnamore Narrator: Suzanne Finnamore Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 53 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: My Disappearing Mother: A Memoir of Magic and Loss is far more than a memoir on the devastation that comes with dementia, a cognitive impairment that affects fifty-five million people worldwide. Finnamore beautifully chronicles her mother's rich and varied life journey, from her birth in Puerto Rico during the height of the Depression to ferrying to the United States, in hopes of a better life. On U.S. soil, her mother, Bunny, started working as a performer for enlisted men, then became a secretary, and eventually a professional clairvoyant. With unexpected humor, Suzanne explores the feeling of love, grief, family, and loss while celebrating the bonds between mothers and daughters. In Suzanne's words, 'I want a book that attests to the fact that in a world full of disease, there is an abiding and supernatural force of love. That because of this, the sadness and the horror can be borne. That laughter can live alongside grief. That it must.' When Suzanne's guest essay 'Dementia Is a Place Where My Mother Lives. It Is Not Who She Is' was published in the New York Times on Mother's Day 2022, readers responded with an outpouring of empathy and love.

Title: Henrietta Szold: Hadassah and the Zionist Dream Author: Francine Klagsbrun Narrator: Dina Pearlman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 30 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Award-winning author Francine Klagsbrun reveals the complex life and work of Henrietta Szold, founder of Hadassah and a Zionist trailblazer Henrietta Szold (1860–1945) is renowned as the founder of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, which quickly became one of the most successful of all Zionist groups. In her work with Hadassah, Szold used a combined ethical and pragmatic approach aimed at improving the lives of both Jews and Arabs. She later moved to Mandate Palestine to help shape education, health, and social services there. The pinnacle of her career came in her seventies, when she took on the task of directing the Youth Aliyah program, which rescued thousands of young people from the Nazis and resettled them in Palestine. Using Szold's copious letters, diaries, and essays, along with other archival documents, Francine Klagsbrun traces Szold's life and legacy with an eye to uncovering the person behind the Zionist icon. She reveals Szold as a complex human being who had to cope with controversy and criticism, a workaholic with an outsized sense of duty, and an idealist who fought for her beliefs even as she questioned her own abilities.

The only person to step forward to comfort the infant as it writhed and screamed in pain during the surgery, she was shocked when the doctor said to her: “There is no medical reason for doing this.” From that moment on, Marilyn became an advocate for ending medically unnecessary circumcision, protecting our children, and educating parents, the public, and medical professionals about this cultural fraud and violation of human rights. She founded the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC); organized fifteen international symposia; and became a spokesperson for promoting the genital integrity of all children. A story of determination, service, and love, Marilyn’s memoir describes the myths, misinformation, and economic forces driving nonreligious infant circumcision in the United States, where it has become standard practice.

Seine jüdische Familie stammte aus Berlin und war in den 1930er-Jahren in letzter Minute nach England ins Exil entkommen. Das wussten alle. Ansonsten wurde über den Krieg nicht gesprochen.

Title: Young Elizabeth: Princess. Prisoner. Queen. Author: Nicola Tallis Narrator: Helen Keeley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 27 minutes Release date: February 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Elizabeth I is one of England's most famous monarchs, whose story as the ‘Virgin Queen' is well known. But queenship was by no means a certain path for Henry VIII's younger daughter, who spent the majority of her early years as a girl with an uncertain future. Before she was three years old Elizabeth had been both a princess and then a bastard following the brutal execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn. After losing several stepmothers and then her father, the teenage Elizabeth was confronted with the predatory attentions of Sir Thomas Seymour. The result was devastating, causing a heartbreaking rift with her beloved stepmother Katherine Parr. Elizabeth was placed in further jeopardy when she was implicated in the Wyatt Rebellion of 1554 – a plot to topple her half-sister, Mary, from her throne. Imprisoned in the Tower of London where her mother had lost her life, under intense pressure and interrogation Elizabeth adamantly protested her innocence. Though she was eventually liberated, she spent the remainder of Mary's reign under a dark cloud. On 17 November 1558, however, the uncertainty of Elizabeth's future came to an end when she succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-five. When Elizabeth became queen, she had already endured more tumult than many monarchs experienced in a lifetime. This colourful and immensely detailed biography charts Elizabeth's turbulent and unstable upbringing, exploring the dangers and tragedies that plagued her early life. Nicola Tallis draws on primary sources written by Elizabeth herself and her contemporaries, providing an extensive and thorough study of an exceptionally resilient youngster whose early life would shape the queen she later became. The heart racing story of Elizabeth's youth as she steered her way through perilous waters towards England's throne is one of the most sensational of its time. “A nuanced and realistic portrait of a formidable and multi-faceted woman.” ? Tudor Times “History as it should be written, vivid, colorful, pacy and evocative, but above all authentic and based on sound and innovative research.” – Alison Weir, Number One New York Times bestselling author]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/747440Thu, 29 Feb 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/747440 to listen full audiobooks.

Но подробности их биографий после многих столетий умолчания изгладились из исторической памяти, а реально произошедшее в трактовке биографов последующих веков обросло легендарными деталями.

While the WASP elite has, in the last half century, indeed drifted from American centrality to the periphery, its relevance and impact remain, as Michael Gross reveals in his compelling chronicle. From Colonial America's founding settlements through the Gilded Age to the present day, Gross traces the complex legacy of American WASPs through the lives of fifteen influential individuals and their very privileged, sometimes intermarried families. As the clans progress, prosper, and periodically stumble, defining aspects in the four-century sweep of American history emerge: our wide, oft-contentious religious diversity; the deep scars of slavery, genocide, and intolerance; the creation and sometime mis-use of astonishing economic and political power; an instinct to offset inequity with philanthropy; an equal capacity for irresponsible, sometimes wanton, behavior.

Title: Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair Series: Part of Jewish Lives Author: Maurice Samuels Narrator: Jason Grasl Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 7 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An insightful new biography of the central figure in the Dreyfus Affair, focused on the man himself and based on newly accessible documents On January 5, 1895, Captain Alfred Dreyfus's cries of innocence were drowned out by a mob shouting 'Death to Judas!' In this book, Maurice Samuels gives listeners new insight into Dreyfus himself—the man at the center of the affair. He tells the story of Dreyfus's early life in Paris, his promising career as a French officer, the false accusation leading to his imprisonment on Devil's Island, the fight to prove his innocence that divided the French nation, and his life of quiet obscurity after World War I. Samuels's striking perspective is enriched by a newly available archive of more than three thousand documents and objects donated by the Dreyfus family. Unlike many historians, Samuels argues that Dreyfus was not an 'assimilated' Jew. Rather, he epitomized a new model of Jewish identity made possible by the French Revolution, when France became the first European nation to grant Jews full legal equality. This book analyzes Dreyfus's complex relationship to Judaism and to antisemitism over the course of his life—a story that, as global antisemitism rises, echoes still. It also shows the profound effect of the Dreyfus Affair on the lives of Jews around the world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738405Tue, 27 Feb 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738405 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: We Come with This Place Author: Debra Dank Narrator: Debra Dank Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 38 minutes Release date: February 22, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: We Come with This Place is a remarkable book, as rich, varied and surprising as the vast landscape in which it is set. Debra Dank has created an extraordinary mosaic of vivid episodes that move about in time and place to tell an unforgettable story of country and people. There is great pain in these pages, and anger at injustice, but also great love, in marriage and in family, and for the land. Dank faces head on the ingrained racism, born of brutal practice and harsh legislation, that lies always under the skin of Australia, the racism that calls a little Aboriginal girl names and beats and rapes and disenfranchises the generations before hers. She describes sudden terrible violence, between races and sometimes at home. But overwhelmingly this is a book about strong, beloved parents and grandparents, guiding and teaching their children and grandchildren what country means, about joyful gatherings and the pleasures of eating food provided by the place that nourishes them, both spiritually and physically. Dank calibrates human emotions with honesty and insight, and there is plenty of dry, down-to-earth humour. You can feel and smell and see the puffs of dust under moving feet, the ever-present burning heat, the bright exuberance of a night-time campfire, the emerald flash of a flock of budgerigars, the journeying wind, the harshness of a station shanty, the welcome scent of fresh water. We Come with This Place is deeply personal, a profound tribute to family and the Gudanji Country to which Debra Dank belongs, but it is much more than that. Here is Australia as it has been for countless generations, land and people in effortless balance, and Australia as it became, but also Australia as it could and should be.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/754979Thu, 22 Feb 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/754979 to listen full audiobooks.

Cooped up inside due to long work hours, Marty was excited about taking off with his wife and five children for the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

Then tragedy struck, forcing Marty to face the terrifying possibility of losing a loved one. With the help of mysterious strangers in one of the world's most awe-inspiring locations, he fought to keep his family alive and his sanity intact. Now, three decades later, he joins forces with his daughter Grace Ly to recount the gripping tale of that ill-fated vacation.

Jahrhundert brauchen. Es erzählt, wie die charismatische Philosophin zu ihrem eigenen, sehr besonderen Denken kam, und erklärt, wie wir denken sollten, wenn unsere Politik aus den Fugen gerät. Mit Leidenschaft und brillanter Expertise beleuchtet Lyndsey Stonebridge Arendts Leben und Werk, bringt sie in einen Dialog mit unserer unruhigen Gegenwart – und fordert uns dazu auf, so zu denken wie Hannah Arendt: unerschütterlich, liebevoll und trotzig. Die Umwälzungen unserer heutigen Welt wären Arendt nur allzu vertraut gewesen. Tyrannei, Rassismus, postfaktische Politik, Verschwörungstheorien, Massenmigration, die Banalität des Bösen: Alles hat sie erlebt. Arendt wurde zu Beginn des letzten Jahrhunderts geboren und floh aus dem faschistischen Europa, um sich in Amerika ein neues Leben aufzubauen. Dort wurde sie zu einer der einflussreichsten – und umstrittensten – öffentlichen Intellektuellen der Welt. Sie schrieb über Macht und Terror, Exil und Liebe, aber vor allem über die Freiheit. Fragen und Denken – darin bestand ihre erste Verteidigung gegen jede Form der Tyrannei, der sie eine Politik der menschlichen Pluralität und Spontaneität entgegensetzte. Die Welt zu lieben, so lehrt uns Arendt, bedeutet, den Mut zu finden, sie zu schützen.

Title: Elizabeth: Renaissance Prince Author: Lisa Hilton Narrator: Kelly Birch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 5 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “Game-changing . . . How history should be written.” — Andrew Roberts, author of Napoleon: A Life [An] ambitious re-examination of the intersection of gender and monarchy.” — New York Times Book Review   Queen Elizabeth I was all too happy to play on courtly conventions of gender when it suited her “weak and feeble woman’s body” to do so for political gain. But in Elizabeth, historian Lisa Hilton offers ample evidence why those famous words should not be taken at face value. With new research out of France, Italy, Russia, and Turkey, Hilton’s fresh interpretation is of a queen who saw herself primarily as a Renaissance prince—an expert in Machiavellian statecraft.  Elizabeth depicts a queen who was much less constrained by her femininity than most accounts claim, challenging readers to reassess Elizabeth’s reign and the colorful drama and intrigue to which it is always linked. It’s a fascinating journey that shows how a marginalized newly crowned queen, whose European contemporaries considered her to be the illegitimate ruler of a pariah nation, ultimately adapted to become England’s first recognizably modern head of state.   “Hilton transforms an irreverent, centuries-old vision of a ‘bewigged farthingale with a mysterious sex life’ into a resolute, steel-spined survivor who far surpassed Henry VII’s wildest hopes for his new dynasty.” — Publishers Weekly]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/735714Tue, 13 Feb 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/735714 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Orchard: A Memoir Author: Adele Crockett Robertson Narrator: Alexandra Cohler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A stirring memoir of a young, single woman's laborious struggle to save her family's New England apple farm from going under during the Great Depression. The Orchard is a poignant memoir of a young woman's single-handed struggle to save her New England farm in the depths of the Great Depression. Discovered by the author's daughter after the author's death, it tells the story of Adele 'Kitty' Robertson, young and energetic, but unprepared by her Radcliffe education for the rigors of apple farming in those bitter years of the early 1930s. Alone at the end of a country road, with only a Great Dane for company, plagued by debts, broken machinery, and killing frosts, Kitty revives the old orchard after years of neglect. Every day is a struggle, but every day she is also rewarded by the beauty of the world and the unexpected kindness of neighbors and hired workers. Animated by quiet courage and simple goodness, The Orchard is a deeply moving celebration of decency and beauty in the midst of grim prospects and crushing poverty.

Irving Hallowell a remarkable history of his life, as well as many personal and dream experiences that held special significance for him. Most of this material has never been published. Because the elderly chief wanted his visitor to understand the Ojibwe world, and because Hallowell was deeply interested in his subject matter and was such a good listener, Berens freely related his dreams and other stories about encounters with powerful beings. The fact that he also shared traditional myths in summer, when Ojibwe people thought it dangerous to discuss such things, shows the depth of his relationship with Hallowell. Berens' reminiscences and story and myth texts are unparalleled as sources for the life, experiences, and outlook of this important Ojibwe leader, and for the insights they provide into the history and culture of his people. Rooted in the collaboration between Berens as steward of his oral traditions and Hallowell as creator and guardian of their written versions, Memories, Myths, and Dreams of an Ojibwe Leader draws the reader into the world - and world view - of Chief Berens, showing how an Aboriginal Christian of the early twentieth century could simultaneously take part in 'modern' and 'traditional' Ojibwe life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/747507Tue, 13 Feb 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/747507 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Room Swept Home Author: Remica Bingham-Risher Narrator: Remica Bingham-Risher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 11 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In a strange twist of kismet, Remica Bingham-Risher's paternal great-great-great grandmother, Minnie Lee Fowlkes, is interviewed for the Works Progress Administration Slave Narratives in Petersburg, Virginia in 1937, and her maternal grandmother, Mary Knight, is sent to Petersburg in 1941, diagnosed with 'water on the brain'—postpartum depression being an ongoing mystery—nine days after birthing her first child. Braiding meticulous archival research with Womanist scholarship and her hallmark lyrical precision, Bingham-Risher's latest collection of poems treads the murky waters of race, lineage, faith, mental health, women's rights, and the violent reckoning that inhabits the discrepancy between lived versus textbook history, asking: What do we inherit when trauma is at the core of our fractured living? Utilizing primary and secondary sources, Bingham-Risher weaves together a richly textured vision of her foremothers' everyday and exceptional living: two very different women at opposite ends of their lives, converging upon the same space and time. The lives these women inhabit and generations they fostered add infinite layers to the fabric of the American tapestry.

Utilizing primary and secondary sources, Bingham-Risher weaves together a richly textured vision of her foremothers' everyday and exceptional living: two very different women at opposite ends of their lives, converging upon the same space and time. The lives these women inhabit and generations they fostered add infinite layers to the fabric of the American tapestry. Room Swept Home serves as a gloriously rendered portrait of all that is held in the line between the private and public, the investigative and generative, the self and those who came before us.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/emerald-ark-by-theo-garb-michael-garb--65146232https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756419 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Emerald Ark Author: Theo Garb, Michael Garb Narrator: Stephen Dalton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 54 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Who ever heard of an Irish Jew? Set during World War II and the Holocaust era, Emerald Ark, Memories of a Jewish Irish Youth, a memoir, shares the story of an adventurous and uncommon life — the life of Theo Garb. Born in Manchester, England, in 1929, Theo grew up an Orthodox Jew in Dublin, Ireland. His parents, Wolf, a larger-than-life figure, and Rachel, have their hands full with Theo and elder brother, Abe, as they mature into adulthood and stray from Orthodox observance. Theo's story, which includes a romantic tale of interfaith love, is poignant and humorous — one filled with laughter and tears. He will tug at your heartstrings and teach you a bit as well, about following one's heart and living life to the fullest! Amazon review: ***** What a pleasure to read Theo's story. Uplifting, amusing and candid. With so much going on in the world it was wonderful to escape into Theo's adventures. His love for life, culture, faith and family is tremendous and we have the joy of traveling along with him. I smiled often and appreciate the attention to detail. It also has to be noted that the historical aspect is engaging and enlightening. Can't wait for the movie!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756419Thu, 01 Feb 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756419 to listen full audiobooks.

In the years immediately preceding World War II, Simone Arnold is a young girl who delights in life – her doting parents, her loving aunts and uncles, and her grandparents at their mountain farm in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. As Simone grows into her preteen years, her parents turn from the Catholic Church and become devout Jehovah's Witnesses. Simone, too, embraces the faith. The Nazi party (the 'Lion') takes over Alsace-Lorraine, and Simone's schools become Nazi propaganda machines. Simone refuses to accept the Nazi party as being above God. Her simple acts of defiance lead her to be persecuted by the school staff and local officials, and ignored by friends. With her father already taken away to a German concentration camp, Simone is wrested away from her mother and sent to a reform school to be 'reeducated.' There, Simone learns that her mother has also been put in a camp. Simone remains in the harsh reform school until the end of the war. She emerges feeling detached from life, but the faith that sustains her through her ordeals helps her rebuild her world. Facing the Lion provides an interesting and detailed view of ordinary country and town life in the pre-war years and during Hitler's regime. This inspiring story of a young girl standing up for her beliefs in the face of society's overwhelming pressure to conform is a potent reminder of the power of remaining true to one's beliefs.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755212Tue, 30 Jan 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755212 to listen full audiobooks.

Dreizehn Monate lang überlebt sie in dieser Hölle, getrennt von ihrer Mutter, in der Kinderbaracke. Sie ist eines der kleinen »Versuchskaninchen« von Dr. Josef Mengele, der seine lebensbedrohlichen »Experimente« an ihr durchführt. Lidia sieht, wie die anderen Kindern nach und nach sterben, an den Folgen der Experimente, am Hunger. Sie selbst ist eine der Wenigen, die überlebt - auch durch die Liebe ihrer Mutter, die sich in lebensgefährlichen Momenten in ihre Baracke schleicht, ihr etwas Gemüse oder Brot zusteckt, sie in den Arm nimmt und ihr einbläut, vor den SS-Männern keine Emotionen zu zeigen, um nicht ihren Zorn auf sich zu ziehen. Nach quälenden 13 Monaten ist der Krieg zu Ende. Doch nach der Befreiung findet Lidia ihre Mutter in Auschwitz nicht. Man erzählt ihr, dass sie tot sei. Doch Lidia hört nicht auf zu glauben, dass ihre Mutter am Leben ist und nach ihr sucht. Und tatsächlich gleicht es einem Wunder, dass Lidia sie eines Tages wiederfindet... Lidia Maksymowicz hat beschlossen, ihr Leben dem Erzählen ihrer Geschichte und dem Schreiben zu widmen. Denn es kann sich alles wiederholen. »Wir sind wieder dabei, Worte des Hasses, der Spaltung, der Abschottung zuzulassen. Wenn ich sie aus dem Munde von Politikern höre, verschlägt es mir den Atem.

Title: Until the Last Pickle Author: Yuliya Patsay Narrator: A Full Cast, Yuliya Patsay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 53 minutes Release date: January 11, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Born to a Jewish mother and Ukrainian father during the final years of the Soviet Union, Yuliya Patsay grew up believing bread lines were a fun way to spend an afternoon, drafts caused pneumonia, and that Lenin was everyone’s benevolent grandpa. After trading pickled herring and Soviet winters for San Francisco fog and year-round produce (the real American dream!) she found herself occupying two parallel universes: the first grounded in her Soviet roots and the second in her burgeoning ‘Amerikanskiye’ beliefs. Irreverent, nostalgic and vulnerable, Until the Last Pickle, is a memoir replete with remembrances, anecdotes, and exactly 18 recipes. It’s an exploration of identity and belonging — at once, deeply personal and broadly relatable — told through the lens of one family’s “totally average” immigration journey.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/746221Thu, 11 Jan 2024 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/746221 to listen full audiobooks.

El autor narra su vida, centrándose sobre todo en su etapa al frente del mayor campo de exterminio que haya existido: Auschwitz-Birkenau. Estamos ante un libro clásico, no por sus virtudes literarias ni por la grandeza de su autor, sino porque después de leer a Höss, negar el holocausto no solo es inmoral sino estúpido. Aquí no caben interpretaciones porque el culpable confiesa el delito. El prólogo de Primo Levi (la víctima condenando al verdugo para la posteridad) forma parte de este libro de manera casi inevitable. Es una pieza brillante de uno de los más lúcidos supervivientes del holocausto y el mayor ejemplo de justicia poética que se pueda imaginar. En palabras de Levi, de una pasmosa actualidad: «El libro muestra con qué facilidad el bien puede ceder al mal, ser asediado por este y, finalmente, sumergido, para sobrevivir en pequeñas islas grotescas».

Title: Seeking Social Democracy: Seven Decades in the Fight for Equality Author: Edward Broadbent Narrator: Frank Block Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 58 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent's ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life Part memoir, part history, part political manifesto, Seeking Social Democracy offers the first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent's ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life. In dialogue with three collaborators from different generations, Broadbent leads listeners through a life spent fighting for equality in Parliament and beyond: exploring the formation of his social democratic ideals, his engagement on the international stage, and his relationships with historical figures from Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro to Tommy Douglas, René Lévesque, and Willy Brandt. From the formative minority Parliament of 1972–1974 to the contentious national debate over Canada's constitution to the free trade election of 1988, the book chronicles the life and thought of one of Canada's most respected political leaders and public intellectuals from his childhood in 1930s Oshawa to the present day. Broadbent's analysis also points toward the future, offering lessons to a new generation on how principles can inform action and social democracy can look beyond neoliberalism. The result is an engaging, timely, and sweeping analysis of Canadian politics, philosophy, and the nature of democratic leadership.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717135Tue, 26 Dec 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/717135 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: William Blake Author: G. K. Chestertson Narrator: The Bell, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: William Blake was an English poet, painter, and printmaker who lived during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born on November 28, 1757, in London, England, Blake displayed artistic and poetic talent from an early age. Despite facing financial difficulties and limited formal education, he developed into one of the most visionary and unconventional figures of the Romantic era. Blake's artistic endeavors spanned both visual arts and literature. As a poet, he is renowned for his innovative and symbolic verse, often exploring themes of spirituality, imagination, and the human experience. His most famous collection of poems is 'Songs of Innocence and Experience,' where he contrasts the idyllic world of innocence with the harsh realities of experience. Notable poems from this collection include 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger.' In addition to his poetic achievements, Blake was a skilled and imaginative visual artist. He was a self-taught engraver, producing intricate and highly symbolic illustrations for his own works. His method of 'illuminated printing' involved both text and illustrations being etched onto copper plates, allowing for a seamless integration of words and images. Some of his other notable works include 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' and prophetic books like 'The Book of Urizen' and 'The Four Zoas.' One of Blake's distinctive features was his unorthodox spiritual and philosophical beliefs. He was deeply critical of organized religion and the conventional morality of his time. Blake developed a personal mythology incorporating mystical and visionary elements, often challenging traditional Christian doctrines.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738935Tue, 26 Dec 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738935 to listen full audiobooks.

Los efectos duraderos de su breve presidencia en EE.UU. Esos son los motivos por los que todavía se habla mucho de John F. Kennedy. Hijo de una familia de tradición diplomática con vínculos controversiales, Kennedy se alzó como un líder político joven, sorprendente y carismático. Se postulaba como un renovador de la democracia norteamericana, a la cual buscaba exportar alrededor del mundo en plena competencia con la URSS. El romance con Marilyn Monroe y otros detalles morbosos de su vida personal son tan recordados como su papel en la Crisis de los Misiles, en la Guerra de Vietnam o en la Alianza para el Progreso. Los disparos de Oswald pusieron fin a su carrera meteórica, pero desde entonces solo han ido creciendo las polémicas sobre lo que sucedió durante aquel mediodía en Dallas.

Met voorwoord ingelezen door de auteur zelf. De spoedafdeling: een plaats waar je zelf liever niet te veel komt, maar die wel tot de verbeelding spreekt. Elisabet Haesevoets werkte jaren als spoedarts en biedt je een onverbloemde blik achter de schermen van dit spannende en soms ook harde leven.

Title: Breaking Through: My Life In Science Author: Katalin Karikó Narrator: Eva Magyar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 3 minutes Release date: December 7, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. From butcher's daughter in Communist Hungary to winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine 2023, this is the story of one woman's extraordinary determination through decades of obscurity and rejection – and her breakthrough discovery that saved millions of lives. *An Amazon Best Book of the Year* Katalin Karikó began life as a butcher’s daughter in post-war Communist Hungary: a hand-to-mouth existence in a single-room house of clay and straw with no running water. Breaking Through is her extraordinary memoir of how she achieved her dream of becoming a scientist, first in Hungary and then in the USA, and pursued her belief – despite so many telling her not to – that an elusive molecule could transform our ability to prevent disease. For three decades she worked in obscurity, battling cockroaches in a windowless lab, enduring demotion, the derision of her colleagues, even threats of deportation. But in 2020, Karikó’s vision was spectacularly vindicated when her work made possible the vaccines that brought an end to the pandemic, paving the way for similar vaccines against HIV, malaria and other life-threatening diseases. As frank, wise and fearless as Karikó herself, Breaking Through is a remarkable story of tenacity, friendship and loyalty, and one woman’s unshakeable commitment to her values. 'Few have overcome adversity like Katalin Karikó . . . This remarkable memoir . . . is a joy to read' Financial Times 'Riveting. A true story of a brilliant biochemist who never gave up or gave in' BONNIE GARMUS, author of Lessons in Chemistry 'Anyone who has ever doubted that science, innovation and persistence can change the world should read this book' BILL GATES ©2023 Katalin Karikó (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/727964Thu, 07 Dec 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/727964 to listen full audiobooks.

Se embarcó de joven rumbo al continente americano, al que los españoles apenas habían arribado. En conflicto con sus superiores, decidió emprender una campaña militar que lo llevó de Cuba a México.

Se embarcó de joven rumbo al continente americano, al que los españoles apenas habían arribado. En conflicto con sus superiores, decidió emprender una campaña militar que lo llevó de Cuba a México. Durante su avance, jalonado por alianzas astutas con otros pueblos que estaban enemistados con los aztecas, Cortés se abrió paso hasta Tenochtitlan.

Title: Flora!: A Woman in a Man’s World Author: Geoffrey Stevens, Flora Macdonald Narrator: Sarah Orenstein Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 5, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Flora Isabel MacDonald – politician, humanitarian, adventurer, and role model for a generation of women – was known across Canada and beyond simply as Flora. In her memoir, co-authored by award-winning journalist and author Geoffrey Stevens, she tells her personal story for the very first time. Flora! describes her amazing journey from her childhood and her time at secretarial school in Cape Breton, through her years in backroom Progressive Conservative politics, to elected office and her appointment as Canada’s first female minister of foreign affairs. Finally, she details her exceptional humanitarian work in India and in war-torn Africa and Afghanistan. Flora was driven by a lifelong conviction that there is nothing a woman cannot achieve in a world controlled by men, and she pursued this conviction in everything she did, carving a path for women in Parliament. She won international acclaim for bringing 60,000 Vietnamese refugees to Canada, and for engineering the rescue of six American hostages in Tehran in a top-secret collaboration with the CIA known as the Canadian Caper. She exposed the inhumane treatment of inmates at Kingston’s Prison for Women. She defied male chauvinists in the Progressive Conservative party by running for its leadership, and she introduced the Employment Equity Act to guarantee women equal access to federal jobs. Flora was brave. She was relentless. She was controversial. She was a force of nature. In her own words and drawing from interviews with those who knew her, Flora! grants us insight into this exceptional woman who changed the course of history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728204Tue, 05 Dec 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728204 to listen full audiobooks.

Los retratos oficiales que muestran a las reinas ataviadas con suntuosos vestidos y cubiertas de joyas ocultan unas vidas marcadas por las desdichas y las tragedias personales. Algunas de ellas se encontraban lejos del trono al nacer, pero consiguieron ceñir la corona por derecho propio y no por matrimonio. Isabel I de Inglaterra, hija de Ana Bolena, pasó de ser una princesa bastarda a dar nombre al glorioso siglo en que reinó; Catalina la Grande no dudó en ponerse al frente de un ejército para derrocar a su esposo y dirigir con mano firme el imperio ruso, mientras que la emperatriz Cixí entró en la Ciudad Prohibida como concubina y gobernó China oculta tras una cortina de seda. Hubo también reinas marcadas por la fatalidad que sobrevivieron en un mundo de intrigas: Catalina de Aragón, hija de los Reyes Católicos y primera esposa de Enrique VIII, fue una de las soberanas más amadas de Inglaterra. O la infeliz Carlota de México, una joven y culta princesa belga que se convirtió en emperatriz de México y perdió la razón tras el asesinato de su esposo, Maximiliano de Habsburgo. Déspotas, libertinas, desalmadas, arpías, locas... son solo algunos de los adjetivos que engrosaron la leyenda negra de estas cinco soberanas.

Title: Warnings From Nostradamus Author: Raphael Terra Narrator: Synthetic Voice (tts) Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 34 minutes Release date: November 21, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). From a dark age, the light of prophecy shines forth. From deep in the bowels of a divided Europe emerge stark warnings to mankind that resonate within us even now. Prophecies that are seemingly impossible and yet are there for all to see. The outbreak of a worldwide pandemic, the death of Queen Elizabeth, the invasion of Ukraine, global warming, terror attacks, world war and the end of times. These, and more, were foreseen by a 16th century physician. Indeed we are told that a coming war, starting in Europe, will engulf the globe and cause catastrophic numbers of deaths. The materialistic Christian West will do battle with the united forces of the East and the Muslim world following a Russian invasion of Europe. Ballistic rockets will reign down upon us all.

From a dark age, the light of prophecy shines forth. From deep in the bowels of a divided Europe emerge stark warnings to mankind that resonate within us even now. Prophecies that are seemingly impossible and yet are there for all to see. The outbreak of a worldwide pandemic, the death of Queen Elizabeth, the invasion of Ukraine, global warming, terror attacks, world war and the end of times. These, and more, were foreseen by a 16th century physician. Indeed we are told that a coming war, starting in Europe, will engulf the globe and cause catastrophic numbers of deaths. The materialistic Christian West will do battle with the united forces of the East and the Muslim world following a Russian invasion of Europe. Ballistic rockets will reign down upon us all. Are we ready for the truth? This is the tale of that man and his unique insight into the global events set in motion by mankind.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Pancho Villa Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 11 minutes Release date: November 21, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Pancho Villa, uno de los principales líderes de la Revolución Mexicana, sigue fascinando a historiadores y curiosos. Villa se sumó a la revolución tras una trayectoria inicial como bandolero. Rápidamente demostró una gran capacidad para reunir en torno a él el apoyo popular contra los hacendados. Al frente de la División del Norte obtuvo importantes victorias militares. En 1914, por un momento, tomó junto a Zapata la capital de México. Mientras se replegaba en las zonas bajo el control de sus tropas, impulsó varias transformaciones económicas y sociales. Finalmente depuso las armas. Sin embargo, las autoridades mexicanas y estadounidenses lo seguían considerando un enemigo público. Pancho Villa fue asesinado por encargo en 1923. Los tempranos estudios de cine lo habían buscado para filmar una película sobre su vida, que al final no se hizo. En toda la región ya circulaba su leyenda. Y al día de hoy se siguen discutiendo los pormenores de la vida del 'Centauro del Norte'.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Nelson Mandela Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 21, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Desde la cárcel, Nelson Mandela se convirtió en el símbolo internacional de quienes luchaban para terminar con el régimen racista del apartheid en Sudáfrica. Había nacido en el pueblo xhosa y participaba en política desde muy joven dentro del partido Congreso Nacional Africano. Tras veintisiete años preso, logró el objetivo que compartía con varias generaciones de activistas: el principio del fin de las divisiones odiosas entre blancos y negros. En 1994 ganó las primeras elecciones con sufragio universal de su país y se propuso sentar las bases para una nueva convivencia. Los esfuerzos colectivos que lideraba lo hicieron acreedor al Premio Nobel de la Paz, si bien se han hecho distintos balances sobre el trabajo de la 'Comisión para la verdad y la reconciliación' y otros aspectos de su gobierno. Hasta su muerte en 2013, rodeado de honores, la vida de Mandela estuvo llena de enseñanzas sobre la resistencia a la opresión y sobre la capacidad de construir diálogo donde parece imposible pero se puede hacer posible.

Title: The Greatest Band That Ever Wasn't Author: Barrett Martin Narrator: Barrett Martin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 4 minutes Release date: November 12, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In 1992, the Screaming Trees were expected to become the next big band to come out of the Seattle music scene during the heyday of grunge. Except it never happened. It wasn't because the band didn't have great songs-indeed, the Trees were revered for their ability to write a great song that was both artistically original and commercially viable, which is no easy task. Other Seattle bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden were fans of the Screaming Trees, playing shows with them and collaborating on albums, long before their own bands broke through into the mainstream. That kind of success eluded the Screaming Trees, and it seemed as if there were more demons than angels in the band's corner when it came time for the Trees to make their mark. Their songwriting skills, however, remain as their greatest legacy. Written by Screaming Trees long-serving drummer, Barrett Martin, The Greatest Band That Ever Wasn't reads like a Greek comedy or tragedy, depending on your viewpoint. Each of the three acts contained in this book features 11 short stories, for a combined total of 33 stories. These tales will make you laugh and perhaps even cry, which is why the saga of the Screaming Trees reads more like a great myth-one that is incredible, at times unbelievable, yet still contains volumes of humor and wisdom.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734046Sun, 12 Nov 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734046 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Fidel Castro Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 36 minutes Release date: November 11, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Idolatrado y odiado en partes iguales, Fidel Castro fue el líder de la Revolución Cubana de 1959 y sin dudas una de las figuras políticas más importantes del siglo XX. Algunos lo consideran un dictador por la forma en que gobernó la isla durante casi sesenta años. Otros ven en él a un héroe de la resistencia contra el imperialismo norteamericano. Varios retratos destacan su astucia fuera de serie como contracara de una construcción implacable de poder. En su larga vida Fidel Castro protagonizó una multitud de episodios casi mitológicos –el Asalto al Cuartel Moncada, el Granma, la entrada en La Habana, la Crisis de los Misiles, solo por mencionar unos pocos–. Se le adjudicaron desde la represión a disidencias políticas y sexuales hasta los logros educativos y médicos que mejoraron las condiciones cotidianas de bastante gente. Desde el apoyo a los movimientos de liberación del Tercer Mundo hasta las alianzas burocráticas y el distanciamiento con el Che Guevara. Quizás lo que hace tan llamativa a la biografía de Fidel Castro es que su persona simboliza las esperanzas, tragedias y ambivalencias de muchos otros seres humanos con los que compartió la época.

In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year—a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months—is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That’s next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian’s double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719324Thu, 02 Nov 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719324 to listen full audiobooks.

Una cosa es segura: nada quedó igual en las tierras por las que pasó el ejército de Alejandro. - -]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-biografias-breves-caligula-by-luis-machado--65146340https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718507 to listen full audiobooks.

Más allá de otros aspectos de su gobierno –reformas, expansión militar– lo más llamativo sobre él pasa por la ristra de anécdotas sobre su sexualidad desenfrenada, los crímenes por diversión y el supuesto intento de hacer que su caballo fuera nombrado cónsul. Todo mientras levantaba un culto religioso en torno de su persona. Calígula fue asesinado por un complot, e inmediatamente se dispararon las primeras versiones sobre las causas probables de su demencia. - -]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718507Tue, 31 Oct 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718507 to listen full audiobooks.

Doch ihre Familie ist gegen die Verbindung mit dem mittellosen Adeligen. Elizabeth steht dennoch zu ihm und zeigt bereits hier ihren Charakter; sie ist willensstark, aufrichtig und bescheiden.

Porfirio Díaz. Su vida y su tiempo es la biografía definitiva sobre esta figura indiscutible de nuestra historia. Sin redimir ni satanizar, este libro es el mayor esfuerzo por contar las cosas como en realidad sucedieron. Al triunfar la República contra la Intervención y el Imperio, los liberales conquistaron el poder en México, pero fueron consumidos por la discordia, divididos con respecto de la reelección del presidente Juárez. Unos estaban a favor; otros estaban en contra. Los que estaban en contra postularon la candidatura de Porfirio Díaz, el general más popular del Ejército de la República, hasta entonces amigo y aliado de don Benito. Así comienzala historia que cuenta La ambición (1867-1884), continuación de La guerra (1830-1867), obra galardonada con el Premio Mazatlán de Literatura. El libro relata los años trágicos de Porfirio en la finca de La Noria; el fracaso de su rebelión contra Juárez; su paso por La Habana, Nueva York y San Francisco; las vicisitudes que vivió hasta triunfar en la revolución que lo llevó a la Presidencia. Narra con detalle la defensa que hizo de la patria frente a la amenaza de guerra con los Estados Unidos y rescata, también,el telegrama en clave donde ordenó reprimir la rebelión de Veracruz, que pasó a la historia con la frase Mátalos en caliente.

Title: [Spanish] - Léxico familiar Author: Natalia Ginzburg Narrator: Sol De La Barreda Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 19, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: El libro más fascinante de Natalia Ginzburg, por cuyas líneas autobiográficas se pasea en bata la historia de la Italia antifascista y donde brilla todo el talento de la autora y uno de los 40 libros imprescindibles escritos por mujeres según Elena Ferrante «Ginzburg entendió muy pronto que cada vez quedarían menos personas capaces de comprender ese lenguaje íntimo y quizás, aunque esto es de cosecha propia, para eso escribió Léxico familiar: para que fuéramos nosotros, los lectores, los que mantuviéramos con vida todas aquellas palabras perdidas.» Laura Ferrero, El País «Aunque esté basado en hechos reales, me gusta pensar que Léxico familiar va a leerse como una novela, pidiéndole a este libro todo lo que solemos pedir a la ficción.» Así se expresaba Natalia Ginzburg hablando de este magnífico texto que cuenta su infancia y su juventud, y donde aparecen los nombres reales de parientes y amigos, entre ellos Cesare Pavese y Elio Vittorini. Léxico familiar habla de los Levi, una familia judía y antifascista que vivió en Turín, en el norte de Italia, desde 1930 hasta 1950. Natalia era una de las hijas del profesor Levi y fue testigo privilegiado de los momentos íntimos de la familia, de ese parloteo entre padres y hermanos que se convierte en un idioma secreto. A través de este léxico tan peculiar vamos conociendo al padre y a la madre de Natalia, unas personas que inundan de vitalidad el libro; veremos también a los hermanos de la autora, a su primer esposo, a políticos de gran valía y a muchos de los intelectuales que animaban las tertulias en estas décadas tan importantes del siglo XX. La crítica ha dicho... «Ginzburg recrea los sentimientos y las relaciones, las simpatías y antipatías, los amores y odios de todas las familias, tan predecibles y caprichosos, pero también, una generación tras otra, la singularidad de los hijos.» Italo Calvino «Incomparable: no he encontrado ningun libro que se le parezca. [...] Con una ausencia ejemplar de narcicismo, Ginzburg se deja ir indolentemente al vaivén de sus recuerdos, como si tratara de evocar una música olvidada.» Carmen Martín Gaite, ABC «La Italia toda está presente en este memorable Léxico familiar [...]. Un libro imprescindible al que siempre hay que volver.» Javier García Recio, La Opinión de Málaga «Cada familia es el mundo. No un mundo, sino la humanidad entera. Quien entiende a su propia familia es capaz de entenderlo todo. Y ella repasa aquellas historias, deteniéndose en cómo se contaron, consciente de que la memoria hace trampas.» Llucia Ramis «Su trabajo no es abstracto ni expresamente filosófico, más bien práctico y personal. Cuando cierras el libro sientes que la autora se ha convertido casi en una conocida aun sin tener mucha idea de quién es.» Rachel Cusk, Times Literary Supplement «Ginzburg se reveló ante mí como una mujer que vivía en mi cabeza sin saberlo. Ella me enseñó a lavar mi propia ropa, llorando.» Karina Sainz Borgo «Su libro más representativo, el que contiene todos los demás.» Aloma Rodríguez, Diari de Tarragona «No soy ella, pero aquí -en esta lectura, ante este libro-, por arte de literatura, me siento Ginzburg, quizá porque haya dicho algo de mí que yo no sospechaba, y espero que, al cerrar la última página de Léxico familiar, todos sus lectores nos reconozcamos en ella.» Elena Medel «Cuando se cumplen 60 años de la publicación de Léxico familiar, su lectura sigue siendo un ejercicio de actualidad».

Se había formado como pastor metodista, había estudiado sociología y teología, pero iba a dejar su huella como uno de los líderes más notorios del movimiento por los derechos civiles, el movimiento que buscaba terminar con la brutal discriminación impuesta a la gente negra en Estados Unidos. Inclinado a una visión no violenta de la desobediencia civil, el Reverendo King tuvo un rol crucial en varios pasajes de esa historia: el boicot a los autobuses segregados, el famosísimo (y tergiversado) discurso 'yo tengo un sueño...', sus polémicas y acercamientos con Malcolm X, su oposición a la guerra de Vietnam que le valió amenazas y persecuciones. Martin Luther King fue asesinado en 1968 mientras organizaba la llamada Campaña de los Pobres, bajo circunstancias que todavía generan controversia,. Su vida sigue inspirando a multitud de personas que bregan por la justicia alrededor de mundo.

Growing up to be a restless young woman seeking nothing yet experimenting with everything, her curiosity took her to Crystal Healing to Reiki to Magnified Healing to Sweat Lodge and dancing around the fire in Shamanic rites. Little did she know that during a recorded guided meditation at a seminar she will see a vision of the satguru/master Yogiraj Siddhanath who will propel her on a fast-track evolutionary path of Mahavatar Babaji’s Kriya Yoga. In the book she takes you with ease and humour along this very personal journey unabashed and often brutally honest without guile, giving you glimpses of past lives across several civilisations, paranormal experiences in the present and manifold realms of existence, throughout which one link remains intact and steadfast - the link that binds the true disciple to their true guru. Today, as a senior disciple of Yogiraj Siddhanath she travels in India and worldwide sharing her learning with others, living and helping others to live joyously with grace, meeting all adversity with equanimity.

Title: The Autobiography of Mother Jones - Unabridged Author: Mother Jones Narrator: Sara Nichols, Kevin Theis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 4, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Perhaps the most famous labor activist and union organizer in history, Mary Harris Jones was an Irish emigre who watched her husband and four children die of yellow fever, saw her modest dressmaking shop go up in flames in the Great Chicago Fire and, as a lonely, poor widow in the late 19th century, was facing a bleak future. Then, as she approached old age and became involved in the labor movement, she reinvented herself as 'Mother Jones' - a fierce advocate of unionizing coal minors, textile workers and others - and through her work with disenfranchised and abused laborers became one of the most famous Americans of her age. Jones was a celebrated orator, a fearless supporter of workers rights and a tireless campaigner for the abolition of child labor.

Title: The Canyon Wren Author: Martín Prechtel Narrator: Martín Prechtel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The Canyon Wren is the continuation and beautiful punchline of the full tale of Martín Prechtel’s trilogy, The Story of My Horses, and picks up right where The Wild Rose leaves off. The Wild Rose ends with the dramatic Barn Fire Incident in which the author and his steady new young Barb stallion, Punk, pull a flame stunned mare out of a burning barn just seconds before the whole burning structure collapses, then together they both drive straight out of that book and into a new life in the next book. This third book in the trilogy brings the story far away from all those troubled times, ins and outs, and hardships and betrayals involved in the author’s effort to gather up those old style Indian Ponies of his youth, and heads us back out into the wild land and the beauty of ranchito New Mexico, where as an integral part of the lives of his new family, their family herd of rare Spanish/Native New Mexico horses play out a series of unexpected peculiarities and surprising horse antics that push the envelope of what mainstream culture has come to assume defines horses and the people that have them. If the first book, The Mare and the Mouse, is like finding a closed treasure chest, and the second book, The Wild Rose, is the retrieval of the lost keys to that chest, then The Canyon Wren is the treasure itself. 'If this book doesn't make you want to ride, talk to animals, eat well, and close the angry, slack-jaw and shamelessly jump up and try to kiss the sky, then I've failed, but I will always try again. Everyone wants life to be simple, but a simple life cannot be lived in a simple way: it takes a lot of simple skills. To see the humor and beauty in the world is one of those skills.'

Solange sie sich zurückerinnern kann, lebt Franzi mit Angststörungen, später kam die Diagnose Borderline dazu. Wovor sie sich nicht fürchtet, ist, sich verletzlich zu zeigen. Die Autorin gibt nicht nur Einblicke in ihre eigene Geschichte, sondern bricht auch mit dem Stigma psychischer Krankheiten und legt schockierende Missstände in unserem psychiatrischen System offen.Wer den Instagram-Account von Franziska Elea besucht, sieht Bilder einer schönen jungen Frau: Sie trägt hübsche Kleider, führt eine glückliche Beziehung, zeigt sich verträumt in Blumenfeldern oder lachend am Urlaubsstrand – und über 200.000 Leute schauen ihr dabei zu. Doch kaum jemand weiß, was sich hinter der nur scheinbar perfekten Fassade verbirgt:Eine Kindheit und Jugend, die von emotionaler Vernachlässigung geprägt war, mehrere stationäre Therapie-Aufenthalte, der Wunsch, einem perspektivlosen Umfeld zu entfliehen, in dem Franzi immer die Aussätzige war. Sie gibt Einblicke in die Ursachen ihrer Krankheitsgeschichte, schildert ihre Erfahrungen in der Psychiatrie, die lange Suche nach wirklicher Hilfe und schließlich ihren Weg zur erfolgreichen Influencerin. Aufklärung im Bezug auf die komplexe Persönlichkeitsstörung Borderline liegt der Autorin ebenso am Herzen wie ein Appell an alle Hörer*innen: Über psychische Erkrankungen zu sprechen darf kein Tabu mehr sein und sich therapeutische Unterstützung zu suchen ist keine Schande.-]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718455Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718455 to listen full audiobooks.

Doch kaum jemand weiß, was sich hinter der nur scheinbar perfekten Fassade verbirgt:Eine Kindheit und Jugend, die von emotionaler Vernachlässigung geprägt war, mehrere stationäre Therapie-Aufenthalte, der Wunsch, einem perspektivlosen Umfeld zu entfliehen, in dem Franzi immer die Aussätzige war. Sie gibt Einblicke in die Ursachen ihrer Krankheitsgeschichte, schildert ihre Erfahrungen in der Psychiatrie, die lange Suche nach wirklicher Hilfe und schließlich ihren Weg zur erfolgreichen Influencerin. Aufklärung im Bezug auf die komplexe Persönlichkeitsstörung Borderline liegt der Autorin ebenso am Herzen wie ein Appell an alle Hörer*innen: Über psychische Erkrankungen zu sprechen darf kein Tabu mehr sein und sich therapeutische Unterstützung zu suchen ist keine Schande.-]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/local-a-memoir-by-jessica-machado--65146285https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739178 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Local: A Memoir Author: Jessica Machado Narrator: Mapuana Makia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A powerful, lush memoir about a Hawaiian woman who ran away from paradise to discover who she is and where she belongs. Born and raised in Hawai‘i by a father whose ancestors are indigenous to the land and a mother from the American South, Jessica Machado wrestles with what it means to be “local.” Feeling separate from the history and tenets of Hawaiian culture that have been buried under the continental imports of malls and MTV, Jessica often sees her homeland reflected back to her from the tourist perspective—as an uncomplicated paradise. Her existence, however, feels far from that ideal. Balancing her parents’ divorce, an ailing mother, and growing anxiety, Jessica rebels. She moves to Los Angeles, convinced she’ll leave her complicated family behind and define herself. Instead, her isolation only becomes more severe, and her dying mother follows her to California. For Jessica, the only way to escape is a reckless downward spiral. Interwoven with a rich and nuanced exploration of Hawaiian history and traditions, Local is a personal and moving narrative about family, grief, and reconnecting to the land she tried to leave behind.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739178Sun, 01 Jan 2023 09:25:04 +0000Odie KilbackPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739178 to listen full audiobooks.
