Publisher's Summary:

I tell you, you meet some strange characters in this game....

Boasting the biggest beats in the world - some as large as France - Australia's outback police have seen it all: natural disasters, incredible acts of selflessness, unspeakable crimes and daring rescues, just to name a few. And they've met some unforgettable characters along the way: from the murderer who stuffed his victims' bodies down wombat holes to the policeman who arrested his own wife to the prisoner who risked his life to rescue his own captor from certain death.

Master storyteller Bill 'Swampy' Marsh has travelled the length and breadth of the country to gather their tales of adventure and misadventure, drama and mayhem, and larrikinism and laughter, to create this memorable collection of real life stories about those on the frontline in the heart of Australia.

Members Reviews:

Fascinating. More please.

I'd love to meet Swampy. He reads so comfortably as though he just chatting.

Great stories of a wonderful country and fascinating lives. It's like spending time with Henry Lawson.

Good stories

Really enjoyed the stories. Found the inflection of the narrators hard at time and the pronunciation of local names could have been better especially from Kate

Beautiful Christmas Spirit

Looking back, I dont regret that I didnt spend enough Christmas Days with my parents. We chose a different day to celebrate it; when it wouldnt be interrupted with exs visitations, etc.

My mom and dad knew how much I loved and appreciated them. And the time we spent together wasnt nestled between the times we had to be there, there, and there by X oclock.

Ino has a successful son who was going to be in town. His responsibilities pull him thin and hes unable to see his mom, as was last-minute-planned.

Inos caregiver is too quick to judge, but Ino understands. And she teaches Ruby to understand the season is about love, understanding, and tolerance - and everything happens for a reason .... and you cant help but wonder about the presents!

Terry Murphy did a wonderful job, portraying the various feelings of the short story.

I would recommend this audio to anyone who needs a gentle nudge to get into or stay in good spirits.

A sweet, tender short story!

This is a sweet and tender short story that turned out to be a wonderful listening experience for me. In the past, I have only listened to a couple of short stories and was a bit disappointed in them. What a nice surprise to listen to Ino's Love! Ino is a lovely older woman who shows her love in such a nice way to her son and her caregiver and left me with sweet memories of my grandmother.

I was given this audio book in exchange for and honest and unbiased review.

A Loving Heart

What did you love best about Ino's Love?

The message of love.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ino, of course!

Have you listened to any of Terry Murphys other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I would like to.

Any additional comments?

Ino truly has a loving heart in the spirit of I Corinthians chapter 13. This is a short listen and gave my spirit a lift, a perfect listen while waiting for an appointment.

Heartwarming

This story is heartwarming. Its a quick listen, but the author uses the time to pull at your heartstrings and makes you angry, frustrated, and then happy. The story starts off with Ino excited to see her son, and then learning that he wont make time for her. Her home health care aid is there through this and its really through her that we feel the anger and frustration towards the sons treatment of Ino. At the end of it though we are happy because we realize that though her son cant make time for her, Ino does have at least one person who loves her and cares to spend time with her. As the blurb says, sometimes the people who love us best are not family

With short stories the author has to get you invested in the characters in a short amount of time. The narrator here helps that along by putting the emotions and getting across the moods of the characters perfectly. The narrator puts emotion so you feel Inos excitement and disappointment, as well as the frustration and anger Ruby has on behalf of Ino.

I listened to this during a rainy and dreary commute and cheered me up a bit.

A Very Sweet Story

I found the story sweet and relevant to our current dilemma with too many coming home emotionally shattered or not at all. The brotherhood of family and service is a heartwarming union. Several grammatical errors that almost lost me. All in all, a good story.

Title: Seleta de Fernando Sabino [Portuguese Edition]

Author: Fernando Sabino

Narrator: Ivam Cabral

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-02-15

Publisher: Livro Falante

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

O audiolivro Seleta de Fernando Sabino inclui uma seleço de contos e crônicas de Fernando Sabino lidas por Ivam Cabral, que é hoje um dos mais reconhecidos profissionais do teatro brasileiro, onde atua como ator, autor e diretor. Fernando Sabino (1923-2004) é mestre em explorar o viés engraçado de situaçes do cotidiano, vividas por pessoas comuns. Assim acontece com o homem que se vê nu sem poder voltar para dentro do seu apartamento, o viajante que teme passar na alfândega com um produto eletrônico, o desembargador que recorre a inúmeros interlocutores para compensar seus lapsos de memória e muitos outros personagens que fazem parte destas histórias. Mas o melhor vem ao final de cada texto. Fernando Sabino nos deixa sempre um pensamento sobre o comportamento e a essência humana. Talvez, por isso, fique difícil chamar seus textos simplesmente de crônicas, como normalmente concebemos a definiço desse gênero literário. Fernando Sabino foi muito além de escrever sobre os acontecimentos e os hábitos de seu tempo. Ele escreveu sobre a alma humana, com todas suas obviedades e contradiçes, sempre com graça, ironia e sagacidade.

Este audiolivro é composto por vinte contos de Arthur Azevedo. Arthur Azevedo (1855-1908) é considerado por muitos estudiosos como um dos maiores escritores brasileiros, à altura de Machado de Assis. Seus textos se aproximam da representaço de uma comédia; muitos contos so piadas transcritas. Tudo que se passava nas ruas ou nas casas lhe forneceu assunto para as histórias, os namoros e os casamentos arranjados por conveniência, os desentendimentos conjugais, as relaçes de família e amizade, as cerimônias festivas ou fúnebres e até mesmo a infidelidade. Seus personagens so caracterizados com a intenço de representar os cariocas da época, com toda a perplexidade e confuso diante das novas relaçes sociais e de comportamento que se estabeleciam com a República. Arthur Azevedo também foi jornalista, cronista, crítico, teatrólogo e poeta. Neste audiolivro, a interpretaço de Marcos Damigo seguiu uma linha despojada e fluente, bem ao estilo do autor. Marcos Damigo começou a atuar no teatro com uma montagem de A Consulta, de Arthur Azevedo. Ao longo de sua carreira, além de interpretar clássicos como Hamlet e Dorian Gray, escreveu algumas peças, entre elas Cabra, que tinha como pano de fundo a guerra de Canudos, e lhe rendeu o prêmio Nascente, parceria da USP com a Editora Abril, em 1997. O ator também escreve sobre teatro para o site RG Vogue e em seu blog sobreteatro.wordpress.com.
