The emperor Nero's reign is one weird tale of sexual depravity and extravagant sadism. He was a gifted musician, and is said to have given great concerts of which attendance was compulsory; women were said to have given birth during the performance, and men were driven to fake death to escape. Nero kicked his pregnant wife to death and then had a young boy castrated to replace her as his spouse; then, during the great fire of Rome, he is said to have played the lyre to emphasize the beauty of the destruction. His eccentricities are a continuation of the tradition of his predecessors, only more perverted; Suetonius' account portray a strange man in strange times. - -]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495781Thu, 09 Jun 2022 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495781 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Last Diving Horse in America: Rescuing Gamal and Other Animals--Lessons in Living and Loving Author: Cynthia A. Branigan Narrator: Cynthia A. Branigan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 19, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Named Best Equine Non-Fiction Book at the 2022 Equus Film & Arts Fest The rescue of the last diving horse in America and the inspiring story of how horse and animal rescuer were each profoundly transformed by the other—from the award-winning animal rescuer of retired racing greyhounds and author of the best-selling Adopting the Racing Greyhound It was the signature of Atlantic City’s Steel Pier in the golden age of “America’s Favorite Playground”: Doc Carver’s High Diving Horses. Beginning in 1929, four times a day, seven days a week, a trained horse wearing only a harness ran up a ramp, a diving girl in a bathing suit and helmet jumped onto its mighty bare back, and together they sailed forty feet through the air, plung­ing, to thunderous applause, into a ten-foot-deep tank of water.   Decades later, after cries of animal abuse and chang­ing times, the act was shuttered, and in May 1980, the last Atlantic City Steel Pier diving horse was placed on the auction block in Indian Mills, New Jersey. The au­thor, who had seen the act as a child and had been haunted by it, was now working with Cleveland Amory, the founding father of the modern animal protection movement, and she was, at the last minute, sent on a rescue mission: bidding for the horse everyone had come to buy, some for the slaughterhouse (they dropped out when the bidding exceeded his weight). The author’s winning bid: $2,600—and Gamal, gleaming-coated, majestic, commanding, was hers; she who knew almost nothing about horses was now the owner of the last div­ing horse in America.   Cynthia Branigan tells the magical, transformative story of how horse and new owner (who is trying to sort out her own life, feeling somewhat lost herself and in need of rescuing) come to know each other, educate each other, and teach each other important lessons of living and loving. She writes of providing a new home for Gamal, a farm with plentiful fields of rich, grazing pasture; of how Gamal, at age twenty-six, blossoms in his new circumstances; and of the special bond that slowly grows and deepens between them, as Gamal tests the author and grows to trust her, and as she grows to rely upon him as friend, confidant, teacher.   She writes of her search for Gamal’s past: moved from barn to barn, from barrel racer to rodeo horse, and ending up on the Steel Pier; how his resilience and dig­nity throughout those years give deep meaning to his life; and how in understanding this, the author is freed from her own past, which had been filled with doubts and fears and darkness. Branigan writes of the history of diving horses and of how rescuing and caring for Gamal led to her saving other animals—burros, llamas, and goats—first as company for Gamal and then finding homes for them all; and, finally, saving a ten-year-old retired greyhound called King—despondent, nearly broken in spirit—who, running free in the fields with Gamal, comes back to his happy self and opens up for the author a whole new surprising but purposeful world.   A captivating tale of the power of animals and the love that can heal the heart and restore the soul.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495529Tue, 19 Oct 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495529 to listen full audiobooks.

Branigan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 19, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Named Best Equine Non-Fiction Book at the 2022 Equus Film & Arts Fest The rescue of the last diving horse in America and the inspiring story of how horse and animal rescuer were each profoundly transformed by the other—from the award-winning animal rescuer of retired racing greyhounds and author of the best-selling Adopting the Racing Greyhound It was the signature of Atlantic City’s Steel Pier in the golden age of “America’s Favorite Playground”: Doc Carver’s High Diving Horses. Beginning in 1929, four times a day, seven days a week, a trained horse wearing only a harness ran up a ramp, a diving girl in a bathing suit and helmet jumped onto its mighty bare back, and together they sailed forty feet through the air, plung­ing, to thunderous applause, into a ten-foot-deep tank of water.   Decades later, after cries of animal abuse and chang­ing times, the act was shuttered, and in May 1980, the last Atlantic City Steel Pier diving horse was placed on the auction block in Indian Mills, New Jersey. The au­thor, who had seen the act as a child and had been haunted by it, was now working with Cleveland Amory, the founding father of the modern animal protection movement, and she was, at the last minute, sent on a rescue mission: bidding for the horse everyone had come to buy, some for the slaughterhouse (they dropped out when the bidding exceeded his weight). The author’s winning bid: $2,600—and Gamal, gleaming-coated, majestic, commanding, was hers; she who knew almost nothing about horses was now the owner of the last div­ing horse in America.   Cynthia Branigan tells the magical, transformative story of how horse and new owner (who is trying to sort out her own life, feeling somewhat lost herself and in need of rescuing) come to know each other, educate each other, and teach each other important lessons of living and loving. She writes of providing a new home for Gamal, a farm with plentiful fields of rich, grazing pasture; of how Gamal, at age twenty-six, blossoms in his new circumstances; and of the special bond that slowly grows and deepens between them, as Gamal tests the author and grows to trust her, and as she grows to rely upon him as friend, confidant, teacher.   She writes of her search for Gamal’s past: moved from barn to barn, from barrel racer to rodeo horse, and ending up on the Steel Pier; how his resilience and dig­nity throughout those years give deep meaning to his life; and how in understanding this, the author is freed from her own past, which had been filled with doubts and fears and darkness. Branigan writes of the history of diving horses and of how rescuing and caring for Gamal led to her saving other animals—burros, llamas, and goats—first as company for Gamal and then finding homes for them all; and, finally, saving a ten-year-old retired greyhound called King—despondent, nearly broken in spirit—who, running free in the fields with Gamal, comes back to his happy self and opens up for the author a whole new surprising but purposeful world.   A captivating tale of the power of animals and the love that can heal the heart and restore the soul.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/oscar-wilde-a-life-by-matthew-sturgis--65148022https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/494970 to listen full audiobooks.

On the night of the 2018 Deadspin Awards, he suffered a mysterious fall that caused him to smash his head so hard on a cement floor that he cracked his skull in three places and suffered a catastrophic brain hemorrhage.

'An uplifting tale, suffused with a karmic righteousness that is, at times, exhilarating.' —Wall Street Journal Rebecca Frankel's Into the Forest is a gripping story of love, escape, and survival, from wartime Poland to a wedding in Connecticut. In the summer of 1942, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods—through brutal winters, Typhus outbreaks, and merciless Nazi raids—until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. After the war they trekked across the Alps into Italy where they settled as refugees before eventually immigrating to the United States. During the first ghetto massacre, Miriam Rabinowitz rescued a young boy named Philip by pretending he was her son. Nearly a decade later, a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn would lead Philip to find the woman who saved him. And to discover her daughter Ruth was the love of his life.

The heart-wrenchingly honest new book about life and death from forensic pathologist and bestselling author of Unnatural Causes, Dr Richard Shepherd. This book is about death, but in it I will take readers on a journey through life... What can death teach us about life? Conducting many thousands of post-mortems has given Dr Richard Shepherd the opportunity to examine death at every stage of life. Each autopsy is its own unique investigation, providing evidence of how, through life, the risks to us ebb and flow. From old to young, from murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental death, each body has taught him something: about human development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, about justice and even about himself. From the bestselling author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving, endlessly fascinating and above all reassuring book about death as it touches our own lives - how to understand it, how best to postpone it, and, when our time comes (as it must come), how to embrace it, as the last great adventure on our journey through life.

In The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden, Peter Bergan provides the first reevaluation of the man responsible for precipitating America’s long war with al-Qaeda and its decedents, capturing bin Laden in all the dimensions of his life: as a family man, as a zealot, as a battlefield commander, as a terrorist leader, and as a fugitive. The book sheds light on his many contradictions: he was the son of a billionaire yet insisted his family live like paupers. He adored his wives and children, depending on his two wives, both of whom had PhDs, to make critical strategic decisions. Yet, he also brought ruin to his family. He was fanatically religious but willing to kill thousands of civilians in the name of Islam. He inspired deep loyalty, yet, in the end, his bodyguards turned against him. And while he inflicted the most lethal act of mass murder in United States history, he failed to achieve any of his strategic goals. In his final years, the lasting image we have of bin Laden is of an aging man with a graying beard watching old footage of himself, just as another dad flipping through the channels with his remote. In the end, bin Laden died in a squalid suburban compound, far from the front lines of his holy war. And yet, despite that unheroic denouement, his ideology lives on. Thanks to exclusive interviews with family members and associates, and documents unearthed only recently, Bergen’s “comprehensive, authoritative, and compelling” (H.R.

It’s the late 1960s, and two lovers converge on an arid patch of earth in South India. John Walker is the handsome scion of a powerful East Coast American family. Diane Maes is a beautiful hippie from Belgium. They have come to build a new world—Auroville, an international utopian community for thousands of people. Their faith is strong, the future bright. So how do John and Diane end up dying two decades later, on the same day, on a cracked concrete floor in a thatch hut by a remote canyon? This is the mystery Akash Kapur sets out to solve in Better to Have Gone, and it carries deep personal resonance: Diane and John were the parents of Akash’s wife, Auralice. Akash and Auralice grew up in Auroville; like the rest of their community, they never really understood those deaths. In 2004, Akash and Auralice return to Auroville from New York, where they have been living with John’s family. As they reestablish themselves in the community, along with their two sons, they must confront the ghosts of those distant deaths. Slowly, they come to understand how the tragic individual fates of John and Diane intersected with the collective history of their town. “A riveting account of human aspiration and folly taken to extremes” (The Boston Globe), Better to Have Gone probes the underexplored yet universal idea of utopia and portrays in vivid detail the daily life of one such community. Richly atmospheric and filled with remarkable characters, spread across time and continents, this is narrative writing of the highest order—a “gripping…compelling…[and] heartbreaking story, deeply researched and lucidly told” (The New York Times Book Review).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/490376Tue, 20 Jul 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/490376 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Art of Patience: Seeking the Snow Leopard in Tibet Author: Sylvain Tesson Narrator: David Pittu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A journey in search of one of the most elusive creatures on the planet Adventurer Sylvain Tesson has led a restless life, riding across Central Asia on horseback, freeclimbing the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, and traversing the Himalayas by foot. But while recovering from an accident that left him in a coma, and nursing his wounds from a lost love, he found himself domesticated, his lust for life draining with each moment spent staring at a screen. An expedition to the mountains of Tibet, in search of the famously elusive snow leopard, presented itself as a cure. For the chance to glimpse this near mythical beast, Tesson and his companions must wait for hours without making a sound or a movement, enduring the thin air and brutal cold. Their vigil becomes an act of faith--many have pursued the snow leopard for years without seeing it--and as they keep their watch, Tesson comes to embrace the virtues of patience and silence.

Title: The Art of Patience: Seeking the Snow Leopard in Tibet Author: Sylvain Tesson Narrator: David Pittu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A journey in search of one of the most elusive creatures on the planet Adventurer Sylvain Tesson has led a restless life, riding across Central Asia on horseback, freeclimbing the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, and traversing the Himalayas by foot. But while recovering from an accident that left him in a coma, and nursing his wounds from a lost love, he found himself domesticated, his lust for life draining with each moment spent staring at a screen. An expedition to the mountains of Tibet, in search of the famously elusive snow leopard, presented itself as a cure. For the chance to glimpse this near mythical beast, Tesson and his companions must wait for hours without making a sound or a movement, enduring the thin air and brutal cold. Their vigil becomes an act of faith--many have pursued the snow leopard for years without seeing it--and as they keep their watch, Tesson comes to embrace the virtues of patience and silence. His faith is rewarded when the snow leopard, the spirit of the mountain, reveals itself: an embodiment of what we have surrendered in our contemporary lives. And the simple act of waiting proves to be an antidote to the frenzy of our times. A celebration of the power and grace of the wild, and a requiem for the world's vanishing places, The Art of Patience is a revelatory account of the communion between nature and the human heart.

Title: Don't Let It Get You Down: Essays on Race, Gender, and the Body Author: Savala Nolan Narrator: Savala Nolan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A “brutal, beautifully rendered” (The New York Times Book Review) collection of essays that offers poignant reflections on living between society’s most charged, politicized, and intractable polar spaces—between black and white, rich and poor, thin and fat. Savala Nolan knows what it means to live in the in-between. Descended from a Black and Mexican father and a white mother, Nolan’s mixed-race identity is obvious, for better and worse. At her mother’s encouragement, she began her first diet at the age of three and has been both fat and painfully thin throughout her life. She has experienced both the discomfort of generational poverty and the ease of wealth and privilege. It is these liminal spaces—of race, class, and body type—that the essays in Don’t Let It Get You Down excavate, presenting a clear and nuanced understanding of our society’s most intractable points of tension. The twelve essays that comprise this collection are rich with “gorgeous prose” (Nadia Owusu, author of Aftershocks) and are as humorous and as full of Nolan’s appetites as they are of anxiety. The result is lyrical and magnetic. In “On Dating White Guys While Me,” Nolan realizes her early romantic pursuits of rich, preppy white guys weren’t about preference but about self-erasure. In the titular essay “Don’t Let it Get You Down,” we traverse the cyclical richness and sorrow of being Black in America as Black children face police brutality, “large Black females” encounter unique stigma, and Black men carry the weight of other people’s fear. In “Bad Education,” we see how women learn to internalize rage and accept violence to participate in our own culture. And in “To Wit and Also,” we meet Filliss, Grace, and Peggy, the enslaved women owned by Nolan’s white ancestors, reckoning with the knowledge that America’s original sin lives intimately within our present stories. Over and over again, Nolan reminds us that our true identities are often most authentically lived not in the black and white, but in the grey of the in-between. Perfect for fans of Heavy by Kiese Laymon and Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay, Don’t Let It Get You Down delivers a “deeply personal insight” (Layla F. Saad, New York Times bestselling author of Me and White Supremacy) on race, class, bodies, and gender in America today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495240Tue, 13 Jul 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/495240 to listen full audiobooks.

What does it mean when the gift that opens the world for us is not enough to stop us from losing the things we love? And what new gifts do we find in that loss?  Baseball had been CC Sabathia’s life since he was a kid in gritty, baseball-obsessed Vallejo, California. He was a star by the time he was a preteen and a professional athlete when he was still a teenager. Everything he knew about how to be a person—an adult, a husband and father, a leader—he learned in rhythm with the baseball season, the every-fifth-day high-intensity spotlight of a starting pitcher, all while dealing with one of the sport’s most turbulent eras: racism in a sport with diminishing black presence; the era of performance-enhancing drugs; and the increasing tension between high-value contracts and sports owners who moved players around like game pieces. But his biggest struggle was with his own body and mind: Buoyed his whole life by talent and a fiery competitive spirit, CC found himself dealing with the steady and eventually alarming breakdown of his own body and his growing addiction in a world that encouraged and enabled it. Till the End is the thrilling memoir of one of the most beloved players in the game, a veteran star of the sport’s marquee team during its latest championship era. It’s also a book about baseball—about the ins and outs of its most important and technical position and its evolution in this volatile era. But woven within it is the moving, universal story of resilience and mortality and discovering what matters.

Anna Neima’s absorbing and vivid account of these collectives, from creation to collapse, reveals them to be full of eccentric characters, outlandish lifestyles and unchecked idealism. They were dramatic, fractious places where high ideals collided with the need to feed the chickens, clean the toilets, bring up squabbling children and grow the grain for the daily bread. These communities were small in scale and dismissed in their time.

Title: Home Made: A Story of Grief, Groceries, Showing Up--and What We Make When We Make Dinner Author: Liz Hauck Narrator: Liz Hauck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 5 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • An “extraordinary” (The New York Times Book Review) tender and vivid memoir about the radical grace we discover when we consider ourselves bound together in community, and a moving account of one woman’s attempt to answer the essential question Who are we to one another? “Your heart will be altered by this book.”—Gregory Boyle, S.J., New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart   Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenage boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn’t know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities, and as a daughter, she believed that if she and the kids made even a single dinner together she could check one box off her father’s long, unfinished to-do list. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners. “The kids picked the menus, I bought the groceries,” Liz writes, “and we cooked and ate dinner together for two hours a week for nearly three years. Sometimes improvisation in kitchens is disastrous. But sometimes, a combination of elements produces something spectacularly unexpected. I think that’s why, when we don’t know what else to do, we feed our neighbors.”   Capturing the clumsy choreography of cooking with other people, this is a sharply observed story about the ways we behave when we are hungry and the conversations that happen at the intersections of flavor and memory, vulnerability and strength, grief and connection.

Title: Home Made: A Story of Grief, Groceries, Showing Up--and What We Make When We Make Dinner Author: Liz Hauck Narrator: Liz Hauck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 5 minutes Release date: June 8, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • An “extraordinary” (The New York Times Book Review) tender and vivid memoir about the radical grace we discover when we consider ourselves bound together in community, and a moving account of one woman’s attempt to answer the essential question Who are we to one another? “Your heart will be altered by this book.”—Gregory Boyle, S.J., New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart   Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenage boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn’t know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities, and as a daughter, she believed that if she and the kids made even a single dinner together she could check one box off her father’s long, unfinished to-do list. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners. “The kids picked the menus, I bought the groceries,” Liz writes, “and we cooked and ate dinner together for two hours a week for nearly three years. Sometimes improvisation in kitchens is disastrous. But sometimes, a combination of elements produces something spectacularly unexpected. I think that’s why, when we don’t know what else to do, we feed our neighbors.”   Capturing the clumsy choreography of cooking with other people, this is a sharply observed story about the ways we behave when we are hungry and the conversations that happen at the intersections of flavor and memory, vulnerability and strength, grief and connection.

I loved it.”--Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat, Pray, Love   An uproarious, moving memoir about a grandmother’s ferocious love and redefining what it means to be family “If you fight that motherf**ker and you don’t win, you’re going to come home and fight me.” Not the advice you’d normally expect from your grandmother—but Danielle Henderson would be the first to tell you her childhood was anything but conventional. Abandoned at ten years old by a mother who chose her drug-addicted, abusive boyfriend, Danielle was raised by grandparents who thought their child-rearing days had ended in the 1960s. She grew up Black, weird, and overwhelmingly uncool in a mostly white neighborhood in upstate New York, which created its own identity crises. Under the eye-rolling, foul-mouthed, loving tutelage of her uncompromising grandmother—and the horror movies she obsessively watched—Danielle grew into a tall, awkward, Sassy-loving teenager who wore black eyeliner as lipstick and was struggling with the aftermath of her mother’s choices. But she also learned that she had the strength and smarts to save herself, her grandmother gifting her a faith in her own capabilities that the world would not have most Black girls possess. With humor, wit, and deep insight, Danielle shares how she grew up and grew wise—and the lessons she’s carried from those days to these. In the process, she upends our conventional understanding of family and redefines its boundaries to include the millions of people who share her story.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/494208Tue, 08 Jun 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/494208 to listen full audiobooks.

Few people are aware that John Moses Browning—a tall, humble, cerebral man born in 1855 and raised as a Mormon in the American West—was the mind behind many of the world-changing firearms that dominated more than a century of conflict. He invented the design used in virtually all modern pistols, created the most popular hunting rifles and shotguns, and conceived the machine guns that proved decisive not just in World Wars I and II but nearly every major military action since. Yet few in America knew his name until he was into his sixties. Now, author Nathan Gorenstein brings firearms inventor John Moses Browning to vivid life in this riveting and revealing biography. Embodying the tradition of self-made, self-educated geniuses (like Lincoln and Edison), Browning was able to think in three dimensions (he never used blueprints) and his gifted mind produced everything from the famous Winchester “30-30” hunting rifle to the awesomely effective machine guns used by every American aircraft and infantry unit in World War II. The British credited Browning’s guns with helping to win the Battle of Britain. His inventions illustrate both the good and bad of weapons.

This page turner will have you cheering for 'Fast Freddy' as he faces off against huge challenges both on and off the ice--a great gift to every proud hockey fan, Canadian, and Indigenous person.' --Wab Kinew, Leader of the Manitoba NDP and author of The Reason You Walk Trailblazer. Residential school Survivor. First Treaty Indigenous player in the NHL. All of these descriptions are true--but none of them tell the whole story. Fred Sasakamoose, torn from his home at the age of seven, endured the horrors of residential school for a decade before becoming one of 120 players in the most elite hockey league in the world. He has been heralded as the first Indigenous player with Treaty status in the NHL, making his official debut as a 1954 Chicago Black Hawks player on Hockey Night in Canada and teaching Foster Hewitt how to pronounce his name. Sasakamoose played against such legends as Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, and Maurice Richard. After twelve games, he returned home. When people tell Sasakamoose's story, this is usually where they end it. They say he left the NHL to return to the family and culture that the Canadian government had ripped away from him. That returning to his family and home was more important to him than an NHL career. But there was much more to his decision than that. Understanding Sasakamoose's choice means acknowledging the dislocation and treatment of generations of Indigenous peoples. It means considering how a man who spent his childhood as a ward of the government would hear those supposedly golden words: 'You are Black Hawks property.' Sasakamoose's story was far from over once his NHL days concluded. He continued to play for another decade in leagues around Western Canada. He became a band councillor, served as Chief, and established athletic programs for kids. He paved a way for youth to find solace and meaning in sports for generations to come. Yet, threaded through these impressive accomplishments were periods of heartbreak and unimaginable tragedy--as well moments of passion and great joy. This isn't just a hockey story; Sasakamoose's groundbreaking memoir sheds piercing light on Canadian history and Indigenous politics, and follows this extraordinary man's journey to reclaim pride in an identity and a heritage that had previously been used against him.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486012Tue, 18 May 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486012 to listen full audiobooks.

In 2017, renowned author and celebrity rabbi Shmuley Boteach decided to take his family on a European holiday. But instead of seeing the sights of London or Paris, he took his reluctant—and at times complaining—children on a harrowing journey though Auschwitz, Treblinka, Warsaw, and many other sites associated with Hitler’s genocidal war against the Jews. His purpose was to impress upon them the full horror of the Holocaust so they would know and remember it deep in their bones. In the process, he and his children learn a great deal about the scope and nature of the European genocide and the continuing effects of global hatred and anti-Semitism.

From Minneapolis to Louisville, to Portland, Kenosha, and Washington, DC, America’s reckoning with its unmet promises on race and class is at a boiling point not seen since the 1960s. While conversations around pathways to progress take place on social media and cable TV, history tells us that meaningful change only comes with radical legislation and boots-on-the-ground activism.

A kid who was considered not “smart enough” to be worthy of a transplant. A young mother dying on the waiting list in front of her two small children. A father losing his oldest daughter after a transplant goes awry. The nights waiting for donor lungs to become available, understanding that someone needed to die so that another patient could live. These are some of the stories in Exhale, a memoir about Dr. Weill’s ten years spent directing the lung transplant program at Stanford. Through these stories, he shows not only the miracle of transplantation, but also how it is a very human endeavor performed by people with strengths and weaknesses, powerful attributes, and profound flaws. Exhale is an inside look at the world of high-stakes medicine, complete with the decisions that are confronted, the mistakes that are made, and the story of a transplant doctor’s slow recognition that he needed to step away from the front lines.

This book is an exploration of holding on too tight, of losing one’s way, and of the power of another kind of decision—to leave behind everything for a fresh start.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-windsor-diaries-my-childhood-with-the-princesses-elizabeth-and-margaret-by-alathea-fitzalan-howard--65148132https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/486016 to listen full audiobooks.

Like so many others in Great Britain, young Alathea Fitzalan Howard’s life was turned upside down by the start of the Second World War. Sent to stay with her grandfather at the historic Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park, Alathea found the affection she so craved through her close friendship with the two princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, and their parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, her neighbors at nearby Windsor Castle. Together, the girls enjoyed parties, cinema evenings, picnics, and more, all recorded in honest and captivating detail in Alathea’s diary, which she kept as a constant source of comfort. Day by day, from ages sixteen to twenty-two, she recorded the intimate details of her life with the Royal Family and the anxieties of wartime Britain.

Title: Women of the Pandemic: Stories from the Frontlines of COVID-19 Author: Lauren Mckeon Narrator: Katie Ryerson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: April 27, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The story of the pandemic is the story of women. This riveting narrative offers an account of COVID-19, reminding us of women's leadership and resilience, reflecting back hope and humanity as we all figure out a new normal, together. Throughout history, men have fought, lost, and led us through the world's defining crises. That all changed with COVID-19. In Canada, women's presence in the response to the pandemic has been notable. Women are our nurses, doctors, PSWs. Our cashiers, long-haulers, cooks. In Canada, women are leading the fast-paced search for a vaccine. They are leading our provinces and territories. At home, they are leading families through self-isolation, often bearing the responsibility for their physical and emotional health. They are figuring out what working from home looks like, and many of them are doing it while homeschooling their kids. Women crafted the blueprint for kindness during the pandemic, from sewing masks to kicking off international mutual-aid networks. And, perhaps not surprisingly, women have also suffered some of the biggest losses, bearing the brunt of our economic skydive.      Through intimate portraits of Canadian women in diverse situations and fields, Women of the Pandemic is a gripping narrative record of the early months of COVID-19, a clear-eyed look at women's struggles, which highlights their creativity, perseverance, and resilience as they charted a new path forward during impossible times.

Title: Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy Author: John F. Wasik Narrator: Bob Souer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: April 13, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Lincoln's view of the right to fulfill one's economic destiny was at the core of his governing philosophy—but he knew no one could climb that ladder without strong federal support. Some of his most enduring policies came to him before the Civil War: visions of a country linked by railroads running ocean to ocean, canals turning small towns into bustling cities, public works bridging farmers to market. Author John F. Wasik tracks Lincoln from his time in the 1830s as a young Illinois state legislator pushing for internal improvements; through his work as a lawyer representing the Illinois Central Railroad in the 1840s; to his presidential fight for the Transcontinental Railroad; and his support of land-grant colleges that educated a nation. These brick-and-mortar developments were essential to how the nation could lift citizens above poverty and its isolating origins. Lincolnomics revives the disremembered history of how Lincoln paved the way for Eisenhower's interstate highways and FDR's social amenities. With an afterword addressing the failure of American infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how Lincoln's policies provide a guide to the future, Lincolnomics makes the case for the man nicknamed 'The Rail Splitter' as the Presidency's greatest builder.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/493217Tue, 13 Apr 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/493217 to listen full audiobooks.

But soon after his retirement from the NBA, Grant was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease, ushering in a challenge greater than any he'd faced before as well as an opportunity to embrace what really matters in life. In Rebound, Grant shares his remarkable life before, during, and after those NBA years with no shortage of compassion and wit. With esteemed basketball writer Ric Bucher, Grant shares his story in raw and candid fashion, as he takes listeners to Sacramento, Portland, Miami, and beyond; to the airplane 30,000 feet in the air where he first came to understand the source of the tremors in his hand; and to the summit of Mount St. Helens alongside five others with PD, where he once again put himself to the test and defied expectations.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/490331Tue, 06 Apr 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/490331 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: My Own Blood: A Memoir of Special-Needs Parenting Author: Ashley Bristowe Narrator: Ashley Bristowe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 43 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Mothering under normal circumstances takes all you have to give. But what happens when your child is disabled, and sacrificing all you've got and more is the only hope for a decent future? Full of rage and resilience, duty and love, Ashley Bristowe delivers a mother's voice like no other we've heard. When their second child, Alexander, is diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, doctors tell Ashley Bristowe and her husband that the boy won't walk, or even talk--that he is profoundly disabled. Stunned and reeling, Ashley researches a disorder so new it's just been named--Kleefstra Syndrome--and she finds little hope and a maze of obstacles. Then she comes across the US-based 'Institutes,' which have been working to improve the lives of brain-injured children for decades. Recruiting volunteers, organizing therapy, juggling a million tests and appointments, even fundraising as the family falls deep into debt, Ashley devotes years of 24/7 effort to running an impossibly rigorous diet and therapy programme for their son with the hope of saving his life, and her own. The ending is happy: he will never be a 'normal' boy, but Alexander talks, he walks, he swims, he plays the piano (badly) and he goes to school. This victory isn't clean and it's far from pretty; the personal toll on Ashley is devastating. 'It takes a village,' people say, but too much of their village is uncomfortable with her son's difference, the therapy regimen's demands and the family's bottomless need. The health and provincial services bureaucracy set them a maddening set of hoops to jump through, showing how disabled children and their families languish because of criminally low expectations about what can be done to help. My Own Blood is an uplifting story, but it never shies away from the devastating impact of a baby that science couldn't predict and medicine couldn't help. It's the story of a woman who lost everything she'd once been--a professional, an optimist, a joker, a capable adult--in sacrifice to her son. An honest account of a woman's life turned upside down.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/494237Tue, 06 Apr 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/494237 to listen full audiobooks.

When Wilkes—fresh out of medical school—is suddenly thrust into this war zone, his skills, his faith, and his ability to endure are all put to the test. Code Red Fallujah is the firsthand narrative of Wilkes's role in the Battle of Fallujah, scintillating combat trauma, and the spiritual challenges that pierced his journey.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/jet-man-the-making-and-breaking-of-frank-whittle-genius-of-the-jet-revolution-by-duncan-campbell-smith--65147981https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/498999 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Jet Man: The Making and Breaking of Frank Whittle, Genius of the Jet Revolution Author: Duncan Campbell-Smith Narrator: Roger Davis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 53 minutes Release date: March 25, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The story of Frank Whittle – RAF pilot, mathematician of genius, inventor of the jet engine and British hero. In 1929, a twenty-two-year-old maverick named Frank Whittle – a self-taught aeronautical obsessive and risk-takingly brilliant RAF pilot – presented a blueprint for a revolutionary, jet-powered aircraft engine to the Air Ministry. His idea had the potential to change the course of history, but it was summarily rejected. In this meticulously researched biography, Duncan Campbell-Smith charts Whittle's stoic efforts to build his jet engine in the interwar years, during which he was constantly frustrated to find his ground-breaking project impeded by bureaucratic inertia until the outbreak of war in 1939. Eventual recognition of the importance of his work by the British government came too late for Whittle's invention to play a major part in the Second World War, but after the war his dream of civilian jet powered aircraft was gradually realized – eventually transforming the entire world of air travel. Gripping in its narrative, authoritative in its technical detail and insightful in its judgements, Jet Man is the definitive telling of the life of an engineering icon and unjustly neglected British hero of the Second World War – and a tantalizing tale of 'what might have been'. Reviews for Jet Man: 'A very well-written and long overdue corrective account of an extraordinary man' James Hamilton-Paterson 'Highly readable, and based on thorough research, Jet Man casts new light on the intense, heroic character of Frank Whittle and his revolutionary invention. The tale of how he overcame all the obstacles in his path is a gripping one. What also makes Duncan Campbell-Smith's narrative compelling is the way the complex mechanics of jet propulsion are so clearly explained' Leo McKinstry]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/498999Thu, 25 Mar 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/498999 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Think Least of Death: Spinoza on How to Live and How to Die Author: Steven Nadler Narrator: Christopher Douyard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 11 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In 1656, after being excommunicated from Amsterdam's Portuguese-Jewish community for 'abominable heresies' and 'monstrous deeds,' the young Baruch Spinoza abandoned his family's import business to dedicate his life to philosophy. He quickly became notorious across Europe for his views on God, the Bible, and miracles, as well as for his uncompromising defense of free thought. Yet the radicalism of Spinoza's views has long obscured that his primary reason for turning to philosophy was to answer one of humanity's most urgent questions: How can we lead a good life and enjoy happiness in a world without a providential God? In Think Least of Death, Steven Nadler connects Spinoza's ideas with his life and times to offer a compelling account of how the philosopher can provide a guide to living one's best life. In the Ethics, Spinoza presents his vision of the ideal human being, the 'free person' who, motivated by reason, lives a life of joy devoted to what is most important—improving oneself and others. Untroubled by passions such as hate, greed, and envy, free people treat others with benevolence, justice, and charity. Focusing on the rewards of goodness, they enjoy the pleasures of this world, but in moderation. 'The free person thinks least of all of death,' Spinoza writes, 'and his wisdom is a meditation not on death but on life.']]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/497716Tue, 23 Mar 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/497716 to listen full audiobooks.

Heavy Light is the story of a breakdown: a journey through mania, psychosis and treatment in a psychiatric hospital, and onwards to release, recovery and healing. After a lifetime of ups and downs, Horatio Clare was committed to hospital under Section 2 of the Mental Health Act. From hypomania in the Alps, to a complete breakdown and a locked ward in Wakefield, this is a gripping account of how the mind loses touch with reality, how we fall apart and how we can be healed - or not - by treatment. A story of the wonder and intensity of the manic experience, as well as its peril and strangeness, it is shot through with the love, kindness, humour and care of those who deal with someone who becomes dangerously ill. Partly a tribute to those who looked after Horatio, from family and friends to strangers and professionals, and partly an investigation into how we understand and treat acute crises of mental health, Heavy Light's beauty, power and compassion illuminate a fundamental part of human experience. It asks urgent questions about mental health that affect each and every one of us.

Dr. Bonnie Henry has been called 'one of the most effective public health figures in the world' by The New York Times. She has been called 'a calming voice in a sea of coronavirus madness,' and 'our hero' in national newspapers. But in the waning days of 2019, when the first rumours of a strange respiratory ailment in Wuhan, China began to trickle into her office in British Columbia, these accolades lay in a barely imaginable future. Only weeks later, the whole world would look back on the previous year with the kind of nostalgia usually reserved for the distant past. With a staggering suddenness, our livelihoods, our closest relationships, our habits and our homes had all been transformed. In a moment when half-truths threatened to drown out the truth, when recklessness all too often exposed those around us to very real danger, and when it was difficult to tell paranoia from healthy respect for an invisible threat, Dr. Henry's transparency, humility, and humanity became a beacon for millions of Canadians. And her trademark enjoinder to be kind, be calm, and be safe became words for us all to live by. Coincidentally, Dr. Henry's sister, Lynn, arrived in BC for a long-planned visit on March 12, just as the virus revealed itself as a pandemic. For the four ensuing weeks, Lynn had rare insight into the whirlwind of Bonnie's daily life, with its moments of agony and gravity as well as its occasional episodes of levity and grace. Both a global story and a family story, Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe combines Lynn's observations and knowledge of Bonnie's personal and professional background with Bonnie's recollections of how and why decisions were made, to tell in a vivid way the dramatic tale of the four weeks that changed all our lives. Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe is about communication, leadership, and public trust; about the balance between politics and policy; and, at heart, about what and who we value, as individuals and a society. The authors' advance from the publisher has been donated to charities with a focus on alleviating communities hit particularly hard by the pandemic: True North Aid with its Covid-19 response in Northern Indigenous communities, and First Book Canada, with its focus on reading and literacy for underserved, marginalized youth.

Title: Thaddeus Stevens: Civil War Revolutionary, Fighter for Racial Justice Author: Bruce Levine Narrator: Landon Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 32 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A “powerful” (The Wall Street Journal) biography of one of the 19th century’s greatest statesmen, encompassing his decades-long fight against slavery and his postwar struggle to bring racial justice to America. Thaddeus Stevens was among the first to see the Civil War as an opportunity for a second American revolution—a chance to remake the country as a genuine multiracial democracy. As one of the foremost abolitionists in Congress in the years leading up to the war, he was a leader of the young Republican Party’s radical wing, fighting for anti-slavery and anti-racist policies long before party colleagues like Abraham Lincoln endorsed them. These policies—including welcoming black men into the Union’s armies—would prove crucial to the Union war effort. During the Reconstruction era that followed, Stevens demanded equal civil and political rights for Black Americans—rights eventually embodied in the 14th and 15th amendments. But while Stevens in many ways pushed his party—and America—towards equality, he also championed ideas too radical for his fellow Congressmen ever to support, such as confiscating large slaveholders’ estates and dividing the land among those who had been enslaved.

Title: Thaddeus Stevens: Civil War Revolutionary, Fighter for Racial Justice Author: Bruce Levine Narrator: Landon Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 32 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A “powerful” (The Wall Street Journal) biography of one of the 19th century’s greatest statesmen, encompassing his decades-long fight against slavery and his postwar struggle to bring racial justice to America. Thaddeus Stevens was among the first to see the Civil War as an opportunity for a second American revolution—a chance to remake the country as a genuine multiracial democracy. As one of the foremost abolitionists in Congress in the years leading up to the war, he was a leader of the young Republican Party’s radical wing, fighting for anti-slavery and anti-racist policies long before party colleagues like Abraham Lincoln endorsed them. These policies—including welcoming black men into the Union’s armies—would prove crucial to the Union war effort. During the Reconstruction era that followed, Stevens demanded equal civil and political rights for Black Americans—rights eventually embodied in the 14th and 15th amendments. But while Stevens in many ways pushed his party—and America—towards equality, he also championed ideas too radical for his fellow Congressmen ever to support, such as confiscating large slaveholders’ estates and dividing the land among those who had been enslaved. In Thaddeus Stevens, acclaimed historian Bruce Levine has written a “vital” (The Guardian), “compelling” (James McPherson) biography of one of the most visionary statesmen of the 19th century and a forgotten champion for racial justice in America.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-girl-explorers-the-untold-story-of-the-globetrotting-women-who-trekked-flew-and-fought-their-way-around-the-world-by-jayne-zanglein--65148067https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482777 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Girl Explorers: The Untold Story of the Globetrotting Women Who Trekked, Flew, and Fought Their Way Around the World Author: Jayne Zanglein Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Never tell a woman where she doesn't belong. In 1932, Roy Chapman Andrews, president of the men-only Explorers Club, boldly stated to hundreds of female students at Barnard College that 'women are not adapted to exploration,' and that women and exploration do not mix. He obviously didn't know a thing about either . . . The Girl Explorers is the inspirational and untold story of the founding of the Society of Women Geographers—an organization of adventurous female world explorers—and how key members served as early advocates for human rights and paved the way for today's women scientists by scaling mountains, exploring the high seas, flying across the Atlantic, and recording the world through film, sculpture, and literature. Follow in the footsteps of these rebellious women as they travel the globe in search of new species, widen the understanding of hidden cultures, and break records in spades.

Title: Find the Helpers: What 9/11 and Parkland Taught Me About Recovery, Purpose, and Hope Author: Fred Guttenberg Narrator: William Sarris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 23, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Fred Guttenberg loved watching Mr. Rogers with his daughter and son when they were little. Their favorite wisdom was: In the midst of tragedy and catastrophe, find the helpers. 'Always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers. Because if you look for the helpers, you'll know there's hope.' —Fred Rogers, 1999. Life changed forever on Valentine's Day 2018. Thirty-four people were shot at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Jaime Guttenberg, a fourteen-year-old with a huge heart, was the second to last victim. That she and so many of her fellow students were struck down in cold blood galvanized many to action, including Jaime's father, Fred, who has become an activist dedicated to passing common sense gun safety legislation. This book is not about gun safety or Parkland. Instead, it tells the story of Fred Guttenberg's journey since Jaime's death and how he has been able to get through the worst of times thanks to the kindness and compassion of others. Good things happen to good people at the hands of other good people—and the world is filled with them. They include everyone from amazing gun violence survivors Fred has met around the country to former VP Joe Biden, who spent time talking to him about finding mission and purpose in learning to grieve.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/487780Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/487780 to listen full audiobooks.

The thoughtful and revealing memoir from one of the world's most recognisable women, renowned for her bold risk-taking, multiculturalism, and activism. 'I am a product of traditional India and its ancient wisdom, and modern India and its urban bustle. My upbringing was always an amalgamation of the two Indias, and, just as much, of East and West.' Unfinished takes readers from Priyanka's childhood in India, where she was raised by her grandparents and her parents-two army doctors committed not only to their children but to their careers and to philanthropy-before being sent away to boarding school at an early age; through her formative teenage years in the U.S. living with extended family in the Midwest (Cedar Rapids and Indianapolis), Queens, and suburban Boston, where she endured bouts of racism; to her return to India, where she unexpectedly won the national and global beauty pageants (Miss India and Miss World) that launched her acting career. Readers looking for a glimpse into what it takes to succeed in the massive Indian film industry will find it here, and they'll also find an honest account of the challenges Priyanka faced navigating her career, both in India and Hollywood. The result is a book that is warm, funny, sassy, inspiring, bold, and rebellious. Just like Priyanka herself. From her dual-continent twenty-year-long career as an actor and producer to her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, from losing her beloved father to cancer to marrying Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra Jonas's story will inspire a generation around the world to gather their courage, embrace their ambition, and commit to the hard work of following their dreams. © Priyanka Chopra Jonas 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/492122Thu, 11 Feb 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/492122 to listen full audiobooks.

Jones is buried in London's Highgate Cemetery, to the left of Karl Marx—a location that Boyce Davies finds fitting given how Jones expanded Marxism-Leninism to incorporate gender and race in her political critique and activism. Claudia Cumberbatch Jones was born in Trinidad. In 1924, she moved to New York, where she lived for the next thirty years. She was active in the Communist Party from her early twenties onward. A talented writer and speaker, she traveled throughout the United States lecturing and organizing. In the early 1950s, she wrote a well-known column, 'Half the World,' for the Daily Worker. As the US government intensified its efforts to prosecute communists, Jones was arrested several times. She served nearly a year in a US prison before being deported and given asylum by Great Britain in 1955. Looking at the contents of the FBI file on Jones, Boyce Davies contrasts Jones's own narration of her life with the federal government's.

Con casi treinta novelas publicadas, compagina su faceta literaria con su trabajo como publicista y profesor.

Con casi treinta novelas publicadas, compagina su faceta literaria con su trabajo como publicista y profesor.

Title: The Bravest Voices: A Memoir of Two Sisters' Heroism During the Nazi Era Author: Ida Cook Narrator: Heather Wilds Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 8 minutes Release date: January 19, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: This timeless memoir documents two sisters’ bravery leading up to WWII—a singular historical account that shines a light on one of humanity’s darkest hours. Ida and Louise Cook are two ordinary Englishwomen, seemingly destined never to stray from their quiet London suburb and comfortable jobs—Ida as a budding romance novelist and Louise as a civil service typist. But in 1923, a chance hearing of an aria from Madame Butterfly sparked a passion for opera in the sisters that led to the formation of friendships with some of Europe’s leading singers and their network, many of them Jewish. As the Nazis rose to power, Ida and Louise began working with the opera world’s insiders to save members of the community from persecution and death. Through ingenuity, thrift and bottomless goodwill, the sisters eluded the suspicion of the Nazis and helped secure safe passage for dozens of refugees. No one would have predicted such daring lives for Ida and Louise Cook—but that underestimation is exactly how they were able to save lives. First published in 1950, Ida’s memoir of the adventures she and Louise shared remains as fresh, vital and entertaining as the woman who wrote it, and is a moving testament to the extraordinary acts of courage by two everyday heroes.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466836Tue, 19 Jan 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466836 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Storm: One Voice from the AIDS Generation Author: Christopher Zyda Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 2 minutes Release date: January 19, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: It all begins in early 1984, when Chris, a twenty-one-year-old UCLA English literature major, risks ostracism when he comes out of the closet to his fraternity brothers just as the AIDS pandemic is beginning to explode in gay communities across the United States. Soon afterward, Chris meets and falls in love with Stephen, a graduate of Yale University and Law School, and the two of them build a life together as their friends start to fall sick and die from the spreading storm of AIDS. Stephen begins showing symptoms of AIDS in early 1986, and Chris faces a difficult choice as he is certain that he, too, eventually will be stricken by the disease. He abandons his writing career and attends the UCLA business school so that he can earn enough money to pay for healthcare during Stephen's illness. The Storm is filled with heart, optimism, and love, interspersed with Los Angeles history, gay and lesbian history, AIDS history, and the backdrop of the 1980s and 1990s. It is an unflinching and, at times, raw memoir of perseverance, integrity, forgiveness, the power of love, spiritual growth, Carpe Diem, dreams, and, most of all: survival and ultimate triumph.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/487735Tue, 19 Jan 2021 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/487735 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Making Trouble - Tongued with Fire: An Imagined History of Harriet Elphinstone Dick & Alice C Moon Author: Sue Ingleton Narrator: Sue Ingleton, Jennifer Vuletic Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 47 minutes Release date: December 5, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In the cold winter of 1875, two rebellious spirits leave England for the raw heat of Australia. Harriet Rowell, 22 a champion swimmer in a time when women didn’t go into the sea and Alice Moon, 18, a budding scientist and writer. In a time when men coersed women to believe if they didn’t bind their bodies in whalebone corsets they would collapse and ruin their childbearing purpose, they were athletic and strong. In a time when many women loved each other but held such love secretly for fear of retribution, they openly declared their love. The patriarchy still does not so much fear lesbian women but rather chooses to believe that they do not exist- how can a woman have sex without a man? In Australia, they will achieve their freedom and create a path for others to follow! They open a Women’s Gymnasium and begin to teach mothers and daughters how to trust, daring them to throw off the shackles of fashion and social laws that bound their natural female bodies and minds. With courageous defiance and rebellious natures, Harriet and Alice take on the world at a dangerous time for women’s freedom of expression. Love ends. Alice breaks free from Harriet’s life and, as an author, pursues her own destiny with new friends living in Sydney. Harriet, rejected and in despair, struggling to come to terms with their painful separation sells up and futilely follows her. But tragedy strikes. Alice, who all her life has laughed in the face of death and danger, suddenly and inexplicably dies. She is thirty-seven. Thrown into turmoil, her female friends build a wall of silence around the shocking death. Their suspicions rest upon a powerful, chauvinistic scientist, John McGarvie Smith, with whom Alice had been working on her forthcoming book on Bacteriology. They leave a public accusation on her gravestone, ‘When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble’-a clue for a future woman to bring justice. I am that woman.

Was he a brilliant, ambitious conqueror or a self-obsessed leader who put his men in harm's way? A divine figure or a god in his own mind? In this audio course, join acclaimed historian Christopher Bellitto to explore this famously complex figure Alexander the Great (ca. 356-323 BCE) was a Macedonian general who brought Greek civilization to the edge of modern-day India. After studying the Iliad, he believed himself to be Achilles reincarnated, imitating the hero of the epic poem in his own military campaigns. Even before he died barely into his thirties, the legends surrounding him were larger than life. In this compelling new audio course, you'll explore the history and lore surrounding this real man and mythic figure, often by consulting the ancient sources themselves. With Prof. Bellitto, you'll trace Alexander's conquests from Macedonia to Asia, assessing his military prowess and leadership skills along the way. You'll also explore questions about his alleged divinity, his ideas for mixing Greek culture with peoples he overwhelmed, and whether or not he planned to build an empire. Analyzing primary sources as well as context from contemporary historians, you'll discover wildly different accounts of the same events in Alexander's life.

Baker, III began over fifty years ago on the tennis courts of the Houston Country Club when they found themselves paired as a doubles team, winning back-to-back championships in 1966 and 1967. While both men were admittedly weak servers, Bush was the net-and-volley guy, with Baker holding down the baseline with his groundstroke skills. That same approach of complementary skill sets and teamwork spilled over into their political careers for decades to come. Both men's résumés were legendary. Bush served as a United States congressman, ambassador to the United Nations, chair of the Republican National Committee, US liaison to China, director of Central Intelligence, 43rd vice president, and 41st president of the United States. Baker served as undersecretary of commerce, secretary of the treasury, secretary of state, and White House chief of staff — twice, while also chairing or playing a lead role in five successive presidential elections for three different candidates from 1976 to 1992.

Tania Romanov Amochaev and her father were both exiled from their homelands as infants; both knew life in refugee camps. Their shared fate does not lead to mutual understanding. The family’s immigration to San Francisco heralded a promising new future—but while Tania just wanted to be an American, her father could not trust that this was his final asylum. His fears and his resistance to assimilation leave Tania with deep resentment toward him and her Russian heritage. Decades later, his unexpected death exposes Tania’s open wounds and a host of unanswered questions about her father and his story. A serendipitous meeting with a last surviving member of the Russian royal family, followed by a baffling error that miraculously connects her with unknown relatives, catapults Tania on a quest for answers in her father’s homeland. Tania’s story proves inseparable from Russia’s, featuring Cossacks who fled revolution, a family who survived Stalin, and a family of royal exiles, culminating in a meeting between princess and peasant. One Hundred Years of Exile is a moving story of how revisiting the past can bring not only forgiveness and redemption, but something far more powerful as well.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/488721Tue, 17 Nov 2020 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/488721 to listen full audiobooks.

John Harvey was a neurosurgeon, violinist, and photographer who answered his door a decade into retirement to find a sheriff with a summons. It was a malpractice suit, and it did not go well. Dr. Harvey never got over it. The box contained every nurse's record, doctor's report, trial transcript, and expert testimony related to the case. Only Brian's father had read it all - until now.

Doch Jonathan Swift schrieb seine Geschichte mit einer derart scharfen Feder, dass auch Erwachsene sie durchaus mit Gewinn lesen können. 'Es birgt scharfsinnige Gesellschaftsbeobachtungen und Psychogramme, entlarvt den korrupten, geld- und machtgeilen, selbstsüchtigen, bequemen Zivilisationsmenschen, den wir kennen und hassen, auch und vielleicht besonders in uns selbst' (FAZ). In seiner Geschichte erzählt Swift von Gulliver, der auf einem Schiff anheuert und bald als Arzt an Bord tätig ist. Nachdem die Crew in ein Unwetter gerät, strandet Gulliver als einziger Überlebender bei den Liliputanern. Unter den Bewohnern gibt es zwei Gruppierungen, die sich anfeinden allein ob der unterschiedlichen Höhe ihrer Absätze. Bedrohlicher jedoch sind die Invasionspläne der Insel Blefuscu. Streitpunkt zwischen den Völkern ist die Frage, ob ein Ei am flachen oder am spitzen Ende geöffnet werden sollte. Gulliver flüchtet von der Insel und kehrt in seine Heimat zurück. Auch auf seiner zweiten Reise kommt Gulliver durch ein Unwetter vom Kurs ab und landet in einem fremden Land. Dieses Mal sind die Verhältnisse jedoch umgekehrt: Gulliver ist nicht Goliath, sondern Winzling unter Riesen. Wieder muss er absonderliche Abenteuer überstehen. Wieder findet er zurück nach Hause.

Ist es verrückt, an das Unmögliche zu glauben, auch wenn alle anderen sagen, dass es nie funktionieren wird? Gut, etwas verrückt muss man wohl sein, um mit der Badewanne zum Bäcker zu fliegen oder 10 Meter tief in einem selbstgebauten U-Boot zu tauchen. Das ist meine Geschichte. Meine Real Life Story hinter der Kamera. Nicht beschönigt, nicht geschnitten. Die Geschichte, wie ich als Kind ultrastrenggläubiger Eltern aufgewachsen bin und mit dem frommen Zeug absolut nichts zu tun haben wollte. Wie ich gemeinsam mit meinem Zwillingsbruder und einer Badewanne als 'The Real Life Guys' auf YouTube bekannt wurde. Wie ich Krebs bekam und Gott meine ganz schön dreiste Challenge annahm: 'Wenn es dich gibt, dann mach mich gesund!' Wie unsere Schwester bei einem Flugzeugabsturz starb und wir das irgendwie überstanden. Und wie ich endlich raffte, dass tausend 'Zufälle' keine Zufälle waren. Wenn du denkst, dass es Gott nicht gibt oder dass es langweilig oder irgendwie crazy ist, an ihn zu glauben, solltest du dieses Buch besser nicht in die Hand nehmen.

Title: [German] - Meine Real Life Story: und die Sache mit Gott Author: Philipp Mickenbecker Narrator: Philipp Mickenbecker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 59 minutes Release date: August 21, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Hättest du gedacht, dass eine Badewanne fliegen kann? Ist es verrückt, an das Unmögliche zu glauben, auch wenn alle anderen sagen, dass es nie funktionieren wird? Gut, etwas verrückt muss man wohl sein, um mit der Badewanne zum Bäcker zu fliegen oder 10 Meter tief in einem selbstgebauten U-Boot zu tauchen. Das ist meine Geschichte. Meine Real Life Story hinter der Kamera. Nicht beschönigt, nicht geschnitten. Die Geschichte, wie ich als Kind ultrastrenggläubiger Eltern aufgewachsen bin und mit dem frommen Zeug absolut nichts zu tun haben wollte. Wie ich gemeinsam mit meinem Zwillingsbruder und einer Badewanne als 'The Real Life Guys' auf YouTube bekannt wurde. Wie ich Krebs bekam und Gott meine ganz schön dreiste Challenge annahm: 'Wenn es dich gibt, dann mach mich gesund!' Wie unsere Schwester bei einem Flugzeugabsturz starb und wir das irgendwie überstanden. Und wie ich endlich raffte, dass tausend 'Zufälle' keine Zufälle waren. Wenn du denkst, dass es Gott nicht gibt oder dass es langweilig oder irgendwie crazy ist, an ihn zu glauben, solltest du dieses Buch besser nicht in die Hand nehmen.

Now, in collaboration with the well-known actress Julika Jenkins and the outstanding pianist Zhana Minasyan, she is releasing her latest literary hit in English: the audio book How I Met Your Grandfather or Why It Makes Sense to Wear High Heels. The audio book tells the true story of an extraordinary friendship between the author, Juliane Sophie Kayser, and Fred Raymes, who became famous through the autobiographical film, Menachem and Fred. Their inspiring story touches the heart and moves us to think about the important things in life.

'Fred taught me many things, especially to look where it hurts,' notes the author Juliane Sophie Kayser. 'The time we spent together was very intense. This audio book brings together everything that was important to us: dialogue, music, literature, history, and friendship.'

Title: [German] - Der Klavierstimmer Ihrer Majestät Author: Daniel Mason Narrator: Stefan Merki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 10 minutes Release date: April 8, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: London 1886. 'Es war Spätnachmittag. Sonnenstreifen fielen durch ein kleines Fenster in einen Raum, der mit Klavierrahmen vollgestellt war. Edgar Drake, Klavierstimmer, Erard-Spezialist, legte den Brief auf seinen Schreibtisch. Ein 1840-Flügel ist schön, dachte er, und er faltete dem Brief behutsam zusammen und steckte ihn in seine Jackentasche. Und Birma ist weit weg.' In diesen wenigen Sätzen ist schon alles drin: das Behagliche, Vertraute, das Zögern, dann die Verführung, das lockende Fremde, die Weite. Gewohnheit und Aufbruch. Die Namen klingen exotisch, Birma oder Burma, Mandalay, Indochine, Mekong – und wecken Bilder von spitzen Tempeldächern im Nebel und weiten Reisfeldern. Reizvoller Sehnsuchtsort – aber eben auch ein heiß umkämpftes Gebiet, Schauplatz zahlreicher kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen. Edgar Drake, Klavierstimmer in London, erhält den Auftrag seitens der britischen Krone, vertreten durch das Kriegsministerium, im Dschungel von Birma den Erard-Flügel eines exzentrischen Militärarztes zu stimmen. Er willigt ein, und schon auf dem Weg nach Birma hört er abenteuerliche Geschichten über diesen charismatischen Militärarzt, der so eine wichtige Rolle in diesem Krieg spielt, daß er sich unentbehrlich gemacht hat und alles verlangen kann. Auch einen Flügel im Urwald und einen Klavierstimmer. Es heißt, Dr. Anthony Carroll operiere und impfe die Birmanen, versuche aber zugleich, die marodierenden Warlords mit Musik und Poesie zu befrieden. Ein Rebell, den die Einheimischen lieben und die britische Krone braucht. Und Edgar? Er verliebt sich in eine schöne und gebildete Birmanin, gerät in den Bann des Arztes, verstrickt sich und findet nicht mehr hinaus aus der Schönheit der Shan-Hochebene. Es ist also auch ein Entwicklungsroman, die Reise des Klavierstimmers nach Birma ist die Reise zu seinem eigenen verklemmten Ich – und weiter, denn es wird brenzlig! Daniel Mason schildert nicht nur drastisch das Verhalten der britischen Kolonialherrschaft in Birma im 19. Jahrhundert, mit aller militärischen Borniertheit und Selbstüberschätzung - er läßt auch die Landschaften und Stimmungen dieses Landes vor dem Hörer entstehen, ein Land das seinen Reiz und seine Eigenwilligkeit ungeachtet aller Schrecknisse der Kriege nicht verliert.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466982Wed, 08 Apr 2020 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/466982 to listen full audiobooks.

Er willigt ein, und schon auf dem Weg nach Birma hört er abenteuerliche Geschichten über diesen charismatischen Militärarzt, der so eine wichtige Rolle in diesem Krieg spielt, daß er sich unentbehrlich gemacht hat und alles verlangen kann. Auch einen Flügel im Urwald und einen Klavierstimmer. Es heißt, Dr. Anthony Carroll operiere und impfe die Birmanen, versuche aber zugleich, die marodierenden Warlords mit Musik und Poesie zu befrieden. Ein Rebell, den die Einheimischen lieben und die britische Krone braucht. Und Edgar? Er verliebt sich in eine schöne und gebildete Birmanin, gerät in den Bann des Arztes, verstrickt sich und findet nicht mehr hinaus aus der Schönheit der Shan-Hochebene. Es ist also auch ein Entwicklungsroman, die Reise des Klavierstimmers nach Birma ist die Reise zu seinem eigenen verklemmten Ich – und weiter, denn es wird brenzlig! Daniel Mason schildert nicht nur drastisch das Verhalten der britischen Kolonialherrschaft in Birma im 19. Jahrhundert, mit aller militärischen Borniertheit und Selbstüberschätzung - er läßt auch die Landschaften und Stimmungen dieses Landes vor dem Hörer entstehen, ein Land das seinen Reiz und seine Eigenwilligkeit ungeachtet aller Schrecknisse der Kriege nicht verliert.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-unterschatzte-allheilmittel-im-selbstversuch-wie-hat-vitamin-c-liposomal-opc-vitamin-d3-k2-b12-und-mms-meine-gesundheit-verb--65148159https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/467193 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Von sich selbst wissen: Dieter Henrich erzählt über Erinnerung und Dankbarkeit Author: Dieter Henrich, Alexandru Bulucz, Klaus Sander Narrator: Dieter Henrich Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 2 minutes Release date: February 10, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 'In allem Wissen, auch im selbstvergessenen, im Schaffen wie im Betrachten, im Streit und in der Liebe, sind die gegenwärtig, die von sich selbst wissen.' Auf 'Von sich selbst wissen', seinem wohl persönlichsten Dokument, gerät Dieter Henrich aus dem Gespräch heraus ins Erzählen, wie auch ins spontane Philosophieren. Im Medium seiner Stimme verlässt er die Strenge seiner Begründungen in der Philosophie und schlägt den Bogen von seinen weltweit beachteten Forschungen und Konzeptionen zu seiner Kindheit in der Weimarer Republik und seiner Jugend bis 1945. In der Erzählung einiger prägender und dramatischer Erlebnisse jener Zeit tritt etwas von den Motiven hervor, die Menschen in das Philosophieren hineinziehen und die eine der Wurzeln der kulturellen Bedeutung der Philosophie ausmachen. Er lässt nachvollziehen, warum alle Menschen im Ansatz von philosophischen Fragen bewegt sind - und wie dann der Alltag mit Metaphern für die Philosophie als solche aufwartet, bevor irgendein Bildungswissen von ihr die Menschen berührt hat. Philosophie als Disziplin - das ist für Dieter Henrich dann auch eine architektonische Kunst der Zuordnung von 'riesigen Dimensionen des Nachfragens', vergleichbar den Entwürfen jener Straßenbahnsysteme, die ihn schon als Kind faszinierten. Nie den Erfahrungen im Menschenleben samt seinen Verwirrungen und Ambivalenzen fern, richtet er den philosophischen Blick auf die eigenen Lebensprobleme und Krisenerfahrungen in einer Weise, die um eine allgemein zu begründende Tiefenanalyse bemüht ist. So blitzen in dem, was er in bildkräftiger Sprache erzählt, immer wieder Glanzlichter von Durchblicken und Perspektiven auf, die seiner philosophischen Besinnung entstammen. Ein langer Krankenhausaufenthalt in sehr jungen Jahren versetzte ihn bereits in den Konflikt zwischen der Möglichkeit der Nichtigkeit von allem, was verlässlich und bedeutsam schien - eine Frühgestalt von Nihilismus, gegen den sich die heimatliche Glückserfahrung im Leben mit den Eltern zu behaupten hatte. So sieht Henrich eine Verwandtschaft zwischen Philosophie und Religion, als deren Schnittstelle seine Gedanken zur Dankbarkeit gelten dürfen. Eine andere seiner Thesen, dass nämlich alle Menschen philosophieren, ist er abschliessend bereit, auf persönlichste Weise zu erweitern: Es gibt keinen guten Philosophen ohne eine Verletzung, die zu einer bewegenden Kraft auf seinem Weg geworden ist.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/473004Mon, 10 Feb 2020 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/473004 to listen full audiobooks.

So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors’ most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn’s voice is being heard now. #TheTruthWillOut]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/that-wild-country-an-epic-journey-through-the-past-present-and-future-of-america-s-public-lands-by-mark-kenyon--65148050https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/489652 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - JFK. El hombre, el líder, el presidente Author: Salvador Rus Narrator: Antonio Leiva Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 36 minutes Release date: September 15, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: En 2017 se cumple el primer centenario del nacimiento de John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Un hombre que, a pesar de haber estado al frente de la presidencia de su país solo 1.032 días, marcó un antes y un después en la historia tanto de los Estados Unidos como del resto del mundo y lo hizo de tal modo que ha pasado a ser un verdadero mito. Su éxito le ha permitido convertirse en un icono, en una imagen, que permanece en la memoria de muchas generaciones, porque su estilo de hacer política, diferente, joven, fresco e innovador, marcó a su generación y su influencia se ha dejado sentir en otras muchas. Este libro, en el que se cuenta con la opinión de personas que le conocieron, muestra al presidente que traspasaba los límites tradicionales que imponía el cargo, al hombre que pensaba en grande y trataba siempre de llegar más lejos, más allá de las exigencias de la situación. Además contiene diez discursos que muestran algunos aspectos fundamentales y críticos de su vida política. Finalmente, se transcribe el último discurso que llevaba preparado para el Trade Mart en el momento que fue abatido a tiros.

Früh widersetzt er sich allen Formen der Assimilation, lernt Hebräisch, wendet sich dem Zionismus zu.

In ihr begegnet Scholem einer jüdischen Theosophie: den Mysterien der Gottheit und seiner Schöpfung. Er sucht ihre philosophische Dimension für die Moderne fruchtbar zu machen, indem er die Verluste offenbart, die mit einer verlorenen, vergessenen Tradition so schmerzlich groß werden können.

He conveys beautifully his love of opera, theatre, cinema and the respect, compassion, admiration and sense of wonder he felt for many people.' (Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend) 01 The Threepenny Opera A tiny commentary on the wrong rendition in English of a piece from this opera, describing how he was impressed by a single line in Brecht's libretto. 02 Falstaff On Verdi's opera after Shakespeare. 03 Fury The story of Fritz Lang's movie. 04 Schroedinger Description of what kind of person the physicist Erwin Schroedinger was and Feyerabend's relationship with him. 05 Macbeth Feyerabend reads Verdi's thoughts on Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene: una macchia. 06 Xenophanes Some Xenophanes fragments, read by Feyerabend in his own translation, attempting to respect the original metric rhythm. 07 Paul Robeson, Joe Louis, Max Schmeling Feyerabend explains a lullaby sung by Paul Robeson, describes the life of this American football star and also a bit of the story of Joe Lewis and Max Schmeling.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-nicht-nur-in-worten-auch-in-der-tat-kathe-sasso-erzahlt-ihre-jugend-im-widerstand-by-evelyn-steinthaler-kathe-sasso-klaus-san--65148171https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/476099 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Nicht nur in Worten, auch in der Tat: Käthe Sasso erzählt ihre Jugend im Widerstand Author: Evelyn Steinthaler, Käthe Sasso, Klaus Sander Narrator: Käthe Sasso Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 2 minutes Release date: February 18, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Im Jahr 1942 wird Käthe Sasso in Wien wegen Hochverrats angeklagt und verhaftet. Mit 16 Jahren muss die junge Widerstandskämpferin die unmenschlichen Verhöre der Gestapo durchstehen und miterleben, wie Ihre Kameradinnen aus den Todeszellen hingerichtet werden. Ihre Kindheit verbringt sie in einem deutsch-kroatischen Dorf im Burgenland bei ihrer Großmutter Majka (kroatisch für 'Mutter'). Von Majka liebevoll erzogen, lernt sie das wichtigste Gut des Menschen zu schätzen - die Freiheit. Käthes Eltern, beide überzeugte Sozialdemokraten, leben und arbeiten in Wien. Mit wachsendem Druck des Regimes setzen sie sich mit anderen Gleichgesinnten im Untergrund zur Wehr; auch Käthe wird immer mehr Teil dieses politischen Kampfes. Der Tod ihrer Mutter und die Grausamkeiten der Nationalsozialisten lassen sie schließlich das politische Erbe ihrer Eltern antreten, und so setzt sie die Arbeit bis zur ihrer Verhaftung im Alleingang fort. Nach langem Aufenthalt in den Wiener Gefängnissen wird sie 1944 in das Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück überführt. Heute ist Käthe Sasso 86 Jahre und lebt allein in ihrem Haus in Winzendorf. Ihre dramatischen Erinnerungen hindern sie nicht daran, ein modernes Leben zu führen. Seit ihrer Flucht aus Ravensbrück setzt sie sich unermüdlich für das Andenken der hingerichteten WiderstandskämferInnen der 'Gruppe 40' auf dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof ein. Für ihr Engagement wurde sie u. a. mit dem Goldenen Verdienstzeichen der Republik Österreich ausgezeichnet. Sie bleibt eine Kämpferin - nicht nur in Worten, auch in der Tat.

Title: [Spanish] - Salvar a Sadie Author: Joal Darse Dauer, Elizabeth Ridley Narrator: Marta Pérez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 36 minutes Release date: February 10, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Un paseo por la montaña no presagia nada bueno para Sadie, una perra de cría a quien pocas veces se le da la oportunidad de pasear; su tarea es parir, pero ese día su dueño le ha sacado al bosque y, cuando está bien adentro, se ha parado y poniéndose frente a ella, ha sacado algo de la chaqueta. ¡Bang!, suena, y un dolor insoportable recorre a Sadie. Sin aún comprender qué está pasando, ha visto el cañón de una escopeta y a su asesino, su propio dueño, cómo la disparaba entre los ojos y en la columna vertebral. Dos tiros y todo se volvió negro. Pero Sadie no murió, su afán por vivir era demasiado fuerte. Unas personas escucharon los disparos, se acercaron al lugar y la llevaron a un refugio de animales. Allí, Joal Derse Dauer se encontró a Sadie desahuciada por los veterinarios. Pero Joal tampoco se rindió. El desprecio por la vida de Sadie despertó en ella la necesidad de no dejar que el maltratador tuviese la última palabra. Acudió a varios expertos, hasta que un veterinario le dijo que había posibilidades, que Sadie tenía futuro y comenzó una campaña de financiación online para su tratamiento. Hoy en día Sadie y Joal son felices y ambas inspiran al mundo con su historia de amor, respeto a la diversidad y segundas oportunidades. Este relato nos indigna ante la barbarie de algunos. Pero, sobre todo, conmueve y nos transmite una enorme alegría por vivir y compartir. Sadie se ha convertido en EE.UU. en la mascota oficial contra los abusos y por la aceptación de la diversidad, y pone de manifiesto el valor intrínseco de cada vida y el tremendo poder del cariño para curar casi cualquier cosa. Compartiendo, Sadie y Joal transformaron sus vidas porque dar es siempre recibir y nuestra propia existencia, un milagro.

Title: Sign My Name to Freedom Author: Betty Reid-Soskin Narrator: Betty Reid-Soskin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 5, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In Betty Reid Soskin's 96 years of living, she has been a witness to a grand sweep of American history. When she was born in 1921, the lynching of African-Americans was a national disgrace, minstrel shows were the most popular American form of entertainment, women were looked at suspiciously by many for exercising their right to vote, and most African-Americans in the Deep South could not vote at all. From her great-grandmother, who had been enslaved until she was in her mid-2s, Betty heard stories of slavery and the difficult times for Black Folk that immediately followed. In her lifetime, Betty has seen the nation begin to break down its race and gender biases, watched it nearly split apart in the upheavals of the civil rights and Black Power eras, and, finally, lived long enough to witness both the election of an African-American president and the re-emergence of a militant, racist far right. But far more than being merely a witness, Betty Reid Soskin has been an active participant with so many other Americans in shaping the country as we know it now. The child of Louisiana Creole parents who refused to bow down to Southern discrimination, she was raised in the Black Bay Area community before the great westward migration of World War II. After working in the civilian homefront effort in the war years, she and her husband, Mel Reid, helped break down racial boundaries by moving into a white community east of the Oakland hills. There she raised four children-one openly gay, one developmentally disabled-while working to end the prejudices against the family that existed among many of her neighbors. With Mel, she opened up one of the first Bay Area record stores in Berkeley both owned by African-Americans and dedicated to the distribution of African-American music. Her community organizing activities eventually led her to work as a state legislative aid, helping to plan the innovative Rosie the Riveter National Park in Richmond, California, then to a 'second' career at the Rosie Park as the oldest park ranger in the history of the National Park Service. In between, she used her talents as a singer and songwriter to interpret and chronicle the great social upheavals that marked the 196s. In 23, Betty displayed a new talent, writing, when she created the popular blog CBreaux Speaks. Now followed by thousands, her blog is a collection of Betty's sometimes fierce, sometimes gently persuasive, but always brightly honest story that weaves both the wisdom of the ages and the fresh enthusiasm of an always youthful mind into her long journey through an American and African-American life, as well as America's long struggle to both understand and cleanse its soul. Blending together selections from many of Betty's hundreds of blog entries with interviews, letters, and speeches collected throughout her long life, Sign My Name to Freedom invites readers into an American life through the words and thoughts of a national treasure who has never stopped looking at herself, the nation, or the world with fresh eyes.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482413Tue, 05 Feb 2019 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/482413 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - #Krebspatient: Wie ich ihn besiegte Author: Simon Sprock Narrator: Simon Sprock Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 20, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Erlebe mit '#Krebspatient: Wie ich ihn besiegte' die packende und motivierende Geschichte eines Krebspatienten auf dem Weg zur Genesung vom Krebs. Dies ist das Audiobuch zum dazugehörenden biographischen Roman von Simon Sprock, gelesen vom Autoren selbst. Sie beruht auf wahren Begebenheiten. Die verrücktesten Geschichten schreibt halt immer noch das Leben selbst. Die Geschichte startet mit dem glücklichsten Moment des Lebens des Autors, doch schon bald folgt die Ernüchterung. Erst fing alles harmlos an, aber was schnell zu Ende sein sollte, verläuft dann doch anders als vorausgesehen. So werden aus wenigen Tagen dann doch eher 15 Monate. Der Prozess, die Therapien und Operationen zehren an den Kräften, doch Simon gibt nicht auf. Sein Glaube an sich selbst und sein Wille, zu überleben helfen ihm, sich zumindest vom Krebs und den dringendsten lebensbedrohenden Gefahren zu befreien. Natürlich wäre es auch ohne die Unterstützung seiner Frau, Familie und Freunde bei weitem nicht so 'glimpflich' verlaufen. Erlebe diese packende Geschichte aus dem wahren Leben hautnah. Sie unterteilt sich in sieben Kapitel. Jedes Kapitel beschreibt dich Geschichte vom glücklichsten Moment bis zum dunkelsten Loch des Lebens, vielleicht auch wieder positiver. Jedes Kapitel besteht aus drei Teilen: 1) Emotionen und Erfahrungen des Krebspatienten 2) Eine bildhafte kurze Verdeutlichung Situation 3) Schlussfolgerungen aus dem Gelebten. Jede der drei Teile kann vom ersten bis zum letzten Kapitel als eine Geschichte gesehen oder zusammen mit den anderen Teilen genossen werden. Wenn dich diese Erzählung nicht berührt, dann weiß ich auch nicht mehr. Viel Spaß mit dem wahren Leben.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/475085Sun, 20 Jan 2019 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/475085 to listen full audiobooks.

Sein Glaube an sich selbst und sein Wille, zu überleben helfen ihm, sich zumindest vom Krebs und den dringendsten lebensbedrohenden Gefahren zu befreien. Natürlich wäre es auch ohne die Unterstützung seiner Frau, Familie und Freunde bei weitem nicht so 'glimpflich' verlaufen. Erlebe diese packende Geschichte aus dem wahren Leben hautnah. Sie unterteilt sich in sieben Kapitel. Jedes Kapitel beschreibt dich Geschichte vom glücklichsten Moment bis zum dunkelsten Loch des Lebens, vielleicht auch wieder positiver. Jedes Kapitel besteht aus drei Teilen: 1) Emotionen und Erfahrungen des Krebspatienten 2) Eine bildhafte kurze Verdeutlichung Situation 3) Schlussfolgerungen aus dem Gelebten. Jede der drei Teile kann vom ersten bis zum letzten Kapitel als eine Geschichte gesehen oder zusammen mit den anderen Teilen genossen werden. Wenn dich diese Erzählung nicht berührt, dann weiß ich auch nicht mehr. Viel Spaß mit dem wahren Leben.]]>185krebspatientcleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/you-must-be-very-intelligent-by-karin-bodewits--65148140https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/481164 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Und morgen Santiago: Auf dem Jakobsweg zu mehr Zuversicht und Glück. Mit Multipler Sklerose Author: Samira Mousa Narrator: Samira Mousa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 22 minutes Release date: November 27, 2018 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Trotz Multipler Sklerose knapp 600 Kilometer zu Fuß auf dem Jakobsweg gehen? 'Warum nicht', dachte sich Samira und brach auf. In ihrem Hörbuch nimmt sie ihre Leser auf ihre Reise mit. Diese führt nicht nur über die grünen Bergketten Nordspaniens, auf wellenumtoste Landzungen und durch verschlafene Dörfer, sondern vor allem auch zu sich selbst: Die Begegnungen mit anderen Menschen, der immer wieder kurz entmutigende Kampf mit den Symptomen der MS und das Überwinden dieser. Nicht nur für Menschen mit einer chronischen Erkrankung, sondern für alle, die einen Schicksalsschlag erlitten haben und nun auf der Suche nach sich selbst, nach Hoffnung, nach einer Antwort sind. Menschen, die Motivation und Mut suchen. 'Können wir aus uns selbst Kraft und Zuversicht schöpfen? Woher die Hoffnung, den Mut nehmen, wenn alles aussichtslos erscheint?' Dieser und weiteren Fragen geht das autobiografische Hörbuch auf den Grund. Die Antwort auf so viele Fragen liegt bereits in uns. Wir müssen nur lernen, unseren Kopf frei zu machen - und zuzuhören. Mit Anfang Zwanzig wird bei Samira Mousa die unheilbare Krankheit Multiple Sklerose diagnostiziert. Es folgen viele Jahre der Unsicherheit und Angst. Doch irgendwann wacht sie auf und begreift, dass sie ihr Leben selbst in die Hand nehmen muss, um endlich einen positiven und zuversichtlichen Umgang mit der Krankheit zu erlernen. Eines vergisst man schnell: MS ist bei jeder Person anders. Man nennt sie auch die 'Krankheit der 1000 Gesichter'. Denn: Alles kann passieren - doch nichts muss passieren. Von dieser Erkenntnis angetrieben, gründete Samira Anfang 2017 ihren Blog 'chronisch fabelhaft'. Schnell startete sie als Mikro Influencerin im Healthcare Bereich durch. Es folgten Artikel über sie im Lisa Magazin, Interviews im RBB Radio (Fritz), Gastartikel bei Refinery29 Germany und auf Pink Compass, Deutschlands größtem Reiseblog für Frauen. Nun bringt sie mit 'Und morgen Santiago' ihr erstes Hörbuch heraus, das Mut macht, informiert und motiviert.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/477640Tue, 27 Nov 2018 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/477640 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Because We Are Bad: OCD and a Girl Lost in Thought Author: Lily Bailey Narrator: Lily Bailey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 52 minutes Release date: September 15, 2018 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 'Extremely compelling' – THE GUARDIAN 'It's a fascinating read... Buy the book! Buy the book!' – JO GOOD, BBC RADIO LONDON 'Searing... funny, eloquent and honest' – PSYCHOLOGIES 'Remarkable... I hope this book finds a wide readership' – WASHINGTON POST 'A beautifully-rendered memoir' – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'Often as chilling as Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, but also full of so much inner and external turbulence that it reminded me at times of The Bourne Identity and Memento. Readers will root for Lily, even when she is attempting to run away from the realities and sometimes authorities chasing her.' – HUFFPOST UK 'A harrowingly honest memoir' – KIRKUS REVIEWS' As a child, Lily Bailey knew she was bad. By the age of 13, she had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and spied upon her classmates. Only by performing a series of secret routines could she correct her wrongdoing. But it was never enough. She had a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and it came with a bizarre twist. This true story lights up the workings of the mind like Mark Haddon or Matt Haig. Anyone who wants to know about OCD, and how to fight back, should read this book. It is ideal for anyone who liked books by fellow OCD sufferers Bryony Gordon (Mad Girl, Glorious Rock Bottom), Rose Cartwright (Pure), and David Adam (The Man Who Couldn't Stop: The Truth About OCD). EXTRACT Chapter 1: Chesbury Hospital From the outside, Chesbury Hospital in London looks like a castle that got lost and was plonked down in the wrong place. It is long and white, with battlements and arched windows from which princesses could call down, in the chapter before they are saved. But it's not entirely believable. Where the portcullis should be, there are giant glass doors. Walk through them, and you could be in a five-star hotel. The man at reception wears a suit and tie and asks if he can help, like he's going to book you a table. A glass cupboard showcases the gifts sold by reception: bath oils, rejuvenating face cream, and Green & Black's chocolate, just in case you arrive empty-handed to see a crazy relative and need an icebreaker. The walls, lampshades, window fittings, and radiators are all a similar, unnameable colour, somewhere between brown, yellow, and cream. A looping gold chandelier is suspended by a heavy chain; the fireplace has marble columns. The members of staff have busy, preoccupied faces—until they come close to you, when their mouths break into wide, fixed smiles. Compared with the Harley Street clinic, there is a superior choice of herbal teas. When the police arrived after the escape, Mum cried a lot; then she shouted. Now she has assumed a sense of British resolve. She queries: 'Wild Jasmine, Purple Rose, or Earl Grey?' A nurse checks through my bag, which has been lugged upstairs. She takes the razor (fair enough), tweezers (sort of fair enough), a bottle of Baileys lying forgotten in the handbag (definitely fair enough), and headphones (definitely not fair enough). There would never be a hanging: far too much mess. The observation room is next to the nurses' station; they keep you there until you are no longer a risk to yourself. It is 10th January, 2013, and I am 19. ABOUT LILY Lily Bailey is a model, writer and mental health campaigner. As a child and teenager, Lily suffered from severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She kept her illness private, until the widespread misunderstanding of the disorder spurred her into action. She began campaigning for better awareness and understanding of OCD, and has tried to stop companies making products that trivialise the illness.

Title: [German] - Endlich mal was Positives: Offensiv & optimistisch: Mein Umgang mit HIV Author: Matthias Gerschwitz Narrator: Vera Schultz, Andreas Schultz, Matthias Gerschwitz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 49 minutes Release date: August 6, 2018 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In 'Endlich mal was Positives' beschreibt Matthias Gerschwitz, der 1994 das positive HIV-Testergebnis erhielt, seinen Umgang mit der Infektion ohne Larmoyanz oder Betroffenheitspathos, sondern optimistisch, informativ und zuweilen auch etwas provokativ. Das Hörbuch soll Mut machen und informieren. Es wendet sich nicht nur an Positive und ihr Umfeld, sondern auch und besonders an diejenigen, die bislang keine Notwendigkeit sahen, sich mit der Infektion zu befassen, weil sie immer noch glauben, sie wären von HIV nicht betroffen. Das Virus ist allerdings nicht wählerisch. Es kann jeden treffen - egal, ob Mann oder Frau, ob homo-, bi- oder heterosexuell. Aber: Mit der 1996 vorgestellten antiretroviralen Therapie hat die Infektion viel von ihrem Schrecken verloren. Sie ist zwar noch nicht heilbar, jedoch mittlerweile gut behandelbar; mit der Therapie kann die Infektion nicht mehr weitergegeben werden. 'Endlich mal was Positives' zeigt, dass man auch mit HIV das Lachen nicht verlernen muss - und auch mit einer unheilbaren Krankheit zukunftsorientiert leben kann.

Title: [Spanish] - Por qué las cosas pueden ser diferentes Author: Manuela Carmena Narrator: Marina Viñals Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 5 minutes Release date: April 4, 2018 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Las cosas pueden ser diferentes. Se pueden cambiar, siempre que exista la voluntad, también individual, de hacerlo. Se pueden hacer grandes cambios pero podemos empezar también por cambiar pequeñas cosas. Los cambios uno a uno significan poco, pero la acumulación de muchos pequeños cambios puede hacer que el mundo sea diferente. Eso nos dice la jueza Manuela Carmena, que en este libro nos ofrece ejemplos de lo que ha sido, a lo largo de su vida, su lucha contra la injusticia, la corrupción y la burocracia. Pequeños cambios como negarse a utilizar el coche oficial y desplazarse con su escolta en metro, ante los atónitos ojos de sus compañeros de judicatura, o proponer a los miembros del Gobierno Vasco que utilicen en Vitoria la bicicleta, medio con el que ella se mueve también en las ciudades. Una mujer valiente y comprometida con la justicia social, abogada desde los años 60 (época en que las mujeres en España eran, social y legalmente apenas un objeto), que fundó los primeros despachos laboralistas, que tanto hicieron en defensa de los trabajadores y contra la dictadura franquista, que no se amedrentó cuando un atentado de extrema derecha acabó con la vida de varios de sus compañeros y amigos, y ha continuado defendiendo que la Justicia sea un servicio público de la ciudadanía.

Er teilt kurze inspirierende Texte voller Weisheit und Gelassenheit, die uns helfen zu erkennen, worauf es wirklich ankommt. Sein Credo der Einfachheit beginnt bereits im Alltag: im Ernstnehmen des Anderen, im Aufbrechen des Egoismus, in einem Leben aus dem Herzen. Schritt für Schritt zeigt der Autor, wie man sich auf positive menschliche Eigenschaften und Werte wie Einfühlungsvermögen, Gemeinschaftssinn und Aufrichtigkeit zu besinnen lernt und schließlich wieder zu sich und einer neuen Ethik des Handelns findet.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/476820Tue, 20 Mar 2018 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/476820 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Vom Angsthasen zum Abenteurer: Die Kunst, zu einem von Ängsten befreiten Leben zu finden Author: Nima Ashoff Narrator: Nima Ashoff Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 3 minutes Release date: October 4, 2017 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Wir haben Angst, eine falsche Entscheidung zu treffen. Wir fürchten uns vor der Zukunft, leben Selbstzweifel oder klammern uns an die Meinungen anderer Leute. Angst ist ein Gefühl, das jeder von uns kennt. Es wird von körperlichen Symptomen begleitet und kann die unterschiedlichsten Formen annehmen, etwa als Platzangst, Verarmungsangst, Angst vor Ablehnung oder als Panikattacke. Nima Ashoff kennt diese Gefühle nur zu genau. In diesem besonderen Hörbuch erzählt sie von ihren eigenen Erfahrungen und verrät, wie sie es geschafft hat, sich von ihren Ängsten und Depressionen zu lösen. Nach der Scheidung ist sie finanziell und emotional am Boden. Als sie am absoluten Nullpunkt ankommt, trifft sie eine ungewöhnliche Entscheidung: Sie wirft ihr bisheriges Leben in die Luft und lässt sich überraschen, was davon übrig bleibt. Bei ihrem Neuanfang in Spanien stellt sie sich Schritt für Schritt ihren Ängsten, trifft ihre neue Liebe und entdeckt ihre Leidenschaft für das freie Leben in einem Oldtimerbus. Seitdem reist sie quer durch Europa und ist zufriedener als je zuvor. In diesem außergewöhnlichen Hörbuch berichtet sie sehr persönlich und humorvoll davon, wie sie den Sprung vom Angsthasen zum Abenteurer geschafft hat. Das Hörbuch wurde produziert von Patrick Lynen und dem Team der TV-Reihe 'Die Runde Ecke' (bekannt aus dem WDR). Patrick Lynen zählt zu den erfolgreichsten Gelassenheitstrainern im deutschsprachigen Bereich.

Seine Eltern und seine Geschwister werden allesamt ermordet. Nach dem Krieg beendet Weisz die Schule und wird Florist - schließlich sogar einer der wichtigsten Repräsentanten der niederländischen Floristik. So erstellt er etwa das größte Blumenarrangement der Welt und erhält dafür einen Eintrag in das Guinnessbuch der Rekorde. Die niederländische Königin Beatrix ernennt Zoni Weisz zum Offizier des Ordens von Oranien-Nassau. Seit vielen Jahren bemüht sich Weisz, der lange über seine Vergangenheit geschwiegen hatte, um die Erinnerung an die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus und engagiert sich sehr für die Wahrnehmung der Rechte von Sinti und Roma in Europa. Am 27. Januar 2011 hielt Zoni Weisz als erster Vertreter der Sinti und Roma eine viel beachtete Rede vor dem Deutschen Bundestag anlässlich des Tags des Gedenkens an die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus. Auf den beiden CDs erzählt Zoni Weisz ohne Skript aus seinem Leben. Er spricht über seine Eltern und seine Geschwister, über das freie Leben im Pferdewagen, über die Angst während der Besatzungszeit, über seine Zeit als Lehrling und das Wunder der Pflanzenwelt sowie über sein politisches Engagement.

Wer den Namen Sigi Sommer hört, denkt zunächst einmal an die legendären Kolumnen, die ab den späten 1940er Jahren in der 'Süddeutschen Zeitung' und der 'Abendzeitung' erschienen. An seine Lokalspitzen und an Blasius den Spaziergänger, der mit feiner Beobachtungsgabe, spitzer Feder und hintersinnigem Humor allerlei Merkwürdiges, Wunderliches, Skurriles aber auch Bewegendes von den Bewohnern seiner Heimatstadt München berichtet.

Neben einigen seiner brillantesten Blasius-Geschichten stellt 'Sommersprossen' auch zwei weniger bekannte Seiten des großen Münchner Originals vor: Erzählungen über seine Jugend während des Ersten Weltkriegs und der 20er Jahre sowie seine Zeit als Soldat und die Rückkehr aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Title: [German] - Winston Churchill: Der späte Held. Eine Biographie Author: Thomas Kielinger Narrator: Gert Heidenreich Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: November 24, 2016 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill – ein Jahrhundertpolitiker. Und eine 'Marke', die der Meister der Selbstinszenierung gekonnt in Szene setzte. Die Utensilien: Zigarre, Gehrock, die Kollektion seiner Hüte und Zylinder, der rote Morgenmantel. Sein Zeichen: das V-Siegesfingerzeichen. 'Wir sind doch alle Würmer. Aber ich glaube, ich bin ein Glühwurm', hat Churchill (1874–1965) in jungen Jahren einmal verkündet. Als Mitglied des englischen Hochadels erhielt er eine militärische Ausbildung und versuchte, talentiert und ehrgeizig, in die Fußstapfen seines berühmten Vorfahren, des Herzogs von Marlborough zu treten. In Englands Kolonialkriegen kämpfte er als Soldat, wurde Kriegsberichterstatter, erlebte und überlebte Abenteuer und saß mit 25 Jahren im britischen Unterhaus. Thomas Kielinger würdigt in dieser Biographie das 'Allroundgenie': den Politiker, der fast jeden Ministerposten seines Landes innehatte, den zweifachen Premierminister, aber auch den Maler, den charismatischen Redner, den Schriftsteller, der 1953 den Nobelpreis für Literatur erhielt, und den Ehemann und Vater. Der innige Briefwechsel zwischen Churchill und seiner Frau Clementine lassen noch einen ganz anderen Aspekt aufblitzen. Und dann kam der Zweite Weltkrieg. 1939 holte Chamberlain den fast 65jährigen Churchill ins Kabinett. Churchill rief sofort zum entscheidenden Widerstand gegen Hitler-Deutschland auf, 'um die ganze Welt vor der Pestilenz der Nazi-Tyrannei zu bewahren' und führte sein Land bis zum siegreichen Kriegsende.  50 Jahre nach Churchills Tod erzählt Thomas Kielinger einfühlsam und fesselnd die wechselvolle Lebensgeschichte dieser faszinierenden Persönlichkeit.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/477651Thu, 24 Nov 2016 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/477651 to listen full audiobooks.

In Englands Kolonialkriegen kämpfte er als Soldat, wurde Kriegsberichterstatter, erlebte und überlebte Abenteuer und saß mit 25 Jahren im britischen Unterhaus. Thomas Kielinger würdigt in dieser Biographie das 'Allroundgenie': den Politiker, der fast jeden Ministerposten seines Landes innehatte, den zweifachen Premierminister, aber auch den Maler, den charismatischen Redner, den Schriftsteller, der 1953 den Nobelpreis für Literatur erhielt, und den Ehemann und Vater. Der innige Briefwechsel zwischen Churchill und seiner Frau Clementine lassen noch einen ganz anderen Aspekt aufblitzen. Und dann kam der Zweite Weltkrieg. 1939 holte Chamberlain den fast 65jährigen Churchill ins Kabinett. Churchill rief sofort zum entscheidenden Widerstand gegen Hitler-Deutschland auf, 'um die ganze Welt vor der Pestilenz der Nazi-Tyrannei zu bewahren' und führte sein Land bis zum siegreichen Kriegsende.  50 Jahre nach Churchills Tod erzählt Thomas Kielinger einfühlsam und fesselnd die wechselvolle Lebensgeschichte dieser faszinierenden Persönlichkeit.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-fliegst-du-schon-oder-uberlegst-du-noch-frauen-die-ihre-traume-wahr-machten-by-claudia-lanfranconi--65148064https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/478768 to listen full audiobooks.

Der in Argentinien geborene Ernesto Guevara, El Che, war Arzt, Abenteurer, Revolutionär und Guerilla-Kämpfer - er stand für den Traum von Gerechtigkeit und den Sieg gegen Unterdrückung. Zusammen mit dem kubanischen Revolutionsführer Fidel Castro kämpfte er ab 1956 auf Kuba gegen die brutale Diktatur des Batista-Regimes, das, obschon Protégé der USA, den dort strafrechtlich verfolgten Bossen des organisierten Verbrechens ein Dorado bot. Von Fidel zum 'Comandante' ernannt, hatte er maßgeblichen Einfluss auf den Sieg der Revolution und beteiligte sich danach an der politischen Neugestaltung Kubas - er wurde Leiter der Nationalbank Kubas und Industrieminister. In dieser Funktion stand er für die Anbindung Kubas an die UdSSR, pflegte aber auch enge Kontakte zu China. Doch seine radikalen sozialistischen Ideale, die er stets selbst als erster zu erfüllen suchte, konnten sich nicht durchsetzen. Stets blieb er bei seinen Bemühungen der empörte Weltbürger, aus dem erst der kubanische Revolutionär geworden war. Politisch gescheitert trat er zurück und sah seine Aufgabe in der Befreiung anderer unterdrückter Völker. Zunächst versuchte er dies im Kongo, dann in Bolivien. Doch die Bevölkerung schloss sich ihm nicht an - 1967 schließlich wurde er verhaftet und ohne Gerichtsverhandlung exekutiert. Von ihm blieben der Mythos des Revolutionärs und ein Bild - jenes, das Alberto Kordas während einer Gedenkveranstaltung 1960 von 'Che' aufgenommen hatte. Dies machte ihn noch zu Lebzeiten, vor allem dann posthum zu einer politischen Ikone aber auch einem popkulturellen Ereignis.

Auch Wirtschaftsblockaden und Invasionspläne konnten ihm nichts anhaben. Er steht aber auch für das Ereignis, das die Welt während des Kalten Krieges wohl am nähesten an einen Atomkrieg brachte - die Kubakrise. Seine Palmeninsel des Sozialismus mitten in der Karibik hielt sich eisern, über alle Zeitenwenden. Nicht einmal der Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion beendete das karibische Experiment des Sozialismus und seine Herrschaft, so abhängig er und sein Regime auch vom 'großen Bruder' waren. Es ist die Rede von Fidel Castro, der von 1959 bis 2008 über Kuba herrschte. Damit war er, abgesehen von Monarchen, der am längsten herrschende Staatschef der Welt. Doch all dies ging nicht spurlos an ihm, der Insel und seinem Regime vorbei - sein Land stand am Rande des Staatsbankrotts, als er sich schließlich in den 1990er Jahren bereitfand eine Öffnung für den Tourismus zu wagen und Zuckerrohr als Monokultur den Rücken zuwandte. Doch inzwischen trägt die Insel eher den Charme des Museal-maroden - und Fidel wirkt auf viele mindestens ebenso aus der Zeit gefallen, ein museal anmutendes Relikt der Vergangenheit. Die Ansichten über Fidel Castro könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein - für die einen ist er ein Schurke und Verbrecher, für die anderen der langjährige Kämpfer gegen Unterdrückung und Hegemonie. Die eine Seite sieht ihn als Unterdrücker von Meinungsfreiheit und Grundrechten, als für den Niedergang der einst prosperierenden Insel verantwortlich.

Title: [German] - Karl der Große - Charlemagne: Kaiser des römischen Reichs Author: Elke Bader Narrator: Heiner Heusinger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 36 minutes Release date: June 25, 2015 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Historienfilme im TV, ob es sich um 'Die Päpstin', 'Die Borgia', 'Säulen der Erde', 'Die Tudors' oder 'Die Wanderhure' handelt, sind äußerst beliebt. Allein 2,5 Millionen Zuschauer sahen den Kinofilm 'Die Päpstin', Quotenhit war 'Die Wanderhure', die 10 Millionen Zuschauer vor den Fernseher lockte. Warum fasziniert Geschichte die Menschen? War das Mittelalter nicht düster, brutal, gewalttätig und hausten die Menschen nicht in bitterster Armut, Schmutz und Gestank? Geschichte ist der Blick durch das Schlüsselloch von einem sicheren Ort aus: Wir leben in Wohlstand, sind weitgehend sozial abgesichert, leben in einem demokratischen Staat, sind freie und gleichberechtigte Bürger - und trotzdem werden wir von Verunsicherung, Zweifeln und Ängsten heimgesucht. Zu sehen, wie Menschen mit sehr viel weniger als dem, was wir haben, nicht nur überlebt, sondern etwas aufgebaut und sich durchgesetzt haben, Ideen entwickelt haben und erfolgreich wurden, ist ein Anreiz, sich in die Vergangenheit hineinzuversetzen. 'Je suis Charlemagne' - ich bin Karl der Große - soll Napoleon, noch ganz unter dem Eindruck seiner Pilgerreise nach Aachen im Jahr 1804, dem Papst mitgeteilt haben. Karl, den seine Zeitgenossen als den 'Leuchtturm' und 'Vater Europas' bezeichneten, galt noch über tausend Jahre nach seinem Tod als die Leitfigur der europäischen Monarchie. Es war ein Reich ungeheuerlichen Ausmaßes, das er am Ende seines Lebens nicht nur erobert, sondern auch neu gestaltet hatte: Es reichte vom heutigen Frankreich über Deutschland und Österreich bis an die Grenzen Polens, Tschechiens und der Slowakei, hinunter bis nach Ungarn und Kroatien.

Title: [German] - Adolf Hitler: Teil 2 1939-1945 Author: Clemens Von Lengsfeld Narrator: Murali Perumal, Gero Wachholz, Gert Heidenreich Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 57 minutes Release date: March 18, 2015 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Eine Biografie Hitlers ist von den Ereignissen des Zweiten Weltkriegs nicht zu trennen. Deshalb beschäftigt sich der vorliegende zweite Teil der Biografie Adolf Hitlers mit den Kriegshandlungen, aber auch mit den 'Säuberungsaktionen' hinter der Frontlinie, den Bombardements auf europäische Städte und der Massenflucht aus den deutschen Ostgebieten. Die Frage nach der deutschen Kriegsschuld ist nicht einfach zu beantworten und beschäftigt die Forschung bis heute. Als Auslöser des Krieges kann zweifellos die aggressive Außenpolitik des Deutschen Reiches gelten. Aber vor allem ist der Zweite Weltkrieg eine Verlängerung des Ersten. Winston Churchill sprach in diesem Zusammenhang richtigerweise von einem 'Dreißigjährigen Krieg': 1914 - 1945. Schätzungen zufolge wurden im Zweiten Weltkrieg über 65 Millionen Menschen getötet. Die erschütternde Bilanz waren die getöteten Zivilisten, deren Zahl die der kämpfenden Soldaten sogar noch überstieg. Trauriger Spitzenreiter unter den Ländern war mit 27 Millionen Toten die Sowjetunion. Die materiellen Schäden waren ebenfalls schwindelerregend: Die Politik der verbrannten Erde und der Bombenkrieg hatten weite Landstriche in sechs Jahren zu unwirtlichen Mondlandschaften gemacht. Es darf als gesichert gelten, dass die NSDAP unter der Führung Adolf Hitlers ohne die dumpfen Ressentiments gegen die Siegermächte und den Versailler Friedensvertrag von 1918 sich nie als Volkspartei durchgesetzt hätte. Hitler gelang es in kürzester Zeit sich von einem fanatischen Führer einer Splitterpartei zu einem Staatsmann zu entwickeln. Dabei sahen die ausländischen Machthaber über seine Vertragsbrüche und die Annektionen ganzer Länder großz ügig hinweg. In der Zeit der Blitzkriege zwischen 1939 und 1940 umgab die deutsche Wehrmacht die Aura einer unbesiegbaren Macht.

Auf den Spuren Marco Polos ist 750 Jahre später Michael Yamashita in der Türkei, Afghanistan, Iran und China unterwegs. Immer wieder stellt sich die Frage: War Marco Polo wirklich im Tartarenreich?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/478547Mon, 12 Sep 2005 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/478547 to listen full audiobooks.

Merkwürdiges und Wunderbares findet ihr darin und ihr werdet erfahren, wie sich Groß-Armenien, Persien, die Tartarei, Indien und viele andere Reiche von einander unterscheiden. Dieses Buch wird euch genau darüber unterrichten; denn Messer Marco Polo, ein gebildeter edler Bürger aus Venedig, erzählt hier, was er mit eigenen Augen gesehen hat.' Mit diesen Worten beginnt das legendäre 'Buch der Wunder' auch 'Il Milione' genannt, mit dem der Mythos des abenteuerlustigen Händlers aus Venedig unsterblich wurde. Der Originaltext des Ende des 13.

Title: [German] - Christoph Columbus: Der Aufbruch in eine neue Welt Author: Ulrich Offenberg Narrator: Anja Buczkowsky, Achim Höppner, Peter Bertram Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 4 minutes Release date: September 12, 2005 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Christoph Columbus ist kein Jüngling mehr, als er am 3. August 1492 mit den drei Schiffen 'Santa Maria', 'Pinta' und 'Nina' von Spanien aus aufbricht, um den Seeweg nach Indien zu entdecken. Jahrelang hatte er vergeblich versucht, das portugiesische und spanische Königshaus davon zu überzeugen, dass man nur lange genug nach Westen segeln müsse, um Indien und China mit ihren sagenhaften Schätzen zu erreichen. Am 12. Oktober ist es so weit, Columbus sichtet Land. Keine Entdeckung der Menschheit ist so folgenreich wie diese. Spanien und andere europäische Staaten schwingen sich durch den Reichtum ihrer Kolonien zu Weltmächten auf. Nur das Leben des Mannes, dem alles zu verdanken ist und der auf vier entsagungsreichen Reisen immer neue Entdeckungen machte, verläuft tragisch. In den Kerker geworfen, verhöhnt und gedemütigt stirbt er einsam am 1506 in Valladolid. Bis zu seinem letzten Atemzug glaubte er unbeirrt, den Seeweg ins ferne Indien gefunden zu haben. Spannend von Peter Bertram, Anja Buczkowski und Achim Höppner gesprochen sowie musikalisch genauso wie mit Geräuschen gekonnt untermalt, erzählt dieser Download das Leben dieses Mannes.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/476118Mon, 12 Sep 2005 09:25:09 +0000Yessenia FriesenPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/476118 to listen full audiobooks.
