Title: Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom

Author: Sanjeev Sanyal

Narrator: Adwait Karambelkar

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:22:34

Summary:

The history of India's struggle for freedom is usually told from the perspective of the non-violent movement. Yet, the story of armed resistance to colonial occupation is just as important. Names such as Vinayak Savarkar, Aurobindo Ghosh, Rashbehari Bose, Bagha Jatin, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and Subhas Chandra Bose are still widely remembered. Their story is almost always presented as acts of individual heroism and not as part of a wider movement that had any overarching strategy or significant impact on the overall struggle for Independence. In reality, the revolutionaries were part of a large network that sustained armed resistance against the British Empire for half a century. They not only created a wide network inside India but also established nodes in Britain, France, Thailand, Germany, Persia, Russia, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Japan and Singapore. At various points, they received official support and recognition from the governments of some of these countries. Even the internal dynamics of the Indian National Congress of the time cannot be understood without the revolutionaries, who enjoyed widespread support within the organization. This was no small-scale movement of naive individual heroism but one that involved a large number of extraordinary young men and women who were connected in multiple ways to each other and to the evolving events of their times.

Revolutionaries tells their story, one that is replete with swashbuckling adventure, intrigue, espionage, incredible bravery, diabolical treachery and shockingly unpredictable twists of fate.

Resumen:

Crónica alucinada de cómo un escritor se fabrica un mundo atroz para acceder a la verdad del amor y la literatura.

Un tortuoso viaje hacia el interior de un escritor, una suerte de crucigrama en el que se ponen en juego su vida y sus saberes.

Clarín

Apenas desembarcado en Saint-Nazaire, el puerto francés donde pasará dos meses en una residencia de escritores, un novelista argentino descubre que nada es como lo había planeado. No puede escribir. La ciudad, impersonal y vacía, reconstruida por completo después de la guerra, le quita un poco el sueño. El quiste que le ha brotado en la base del cuello no para de crecer. Su mujer se aburre y su editor, dipsómano genial, atormentado, lo mete en toda clase de situaciones equívocas. Obstrucciones y malestar: es todo lo que necesita la vida del escritor, no tan cachorro, para internarse en un laberinto de espejismos lisérgicos, trampas y peripecias delirantes. Abandonado por su mujer, que huye a Londres, y engañado por su editor; el héroe recala en París, que es sólo la máscara glamorosa de una intemperie atroz, y busca redimirse con las únicas pasiones que le quedan: el fanatismo literario y el crimen. Versión tragicómica de un viejo mito de la cultura latinoamericana -el viaje iniciático a Europa-, Wasabi es la crónica alucinada de un escritor que no escribe, distraído por el goce de zozobrar y perderse.

La crítica ha dicho...

Una fascinante inmersión en lo inconsciente.

Bella Jozef

Quien aprecie la gran literatura y cultive el placer del texto saldrá regocijado de la lectura de Wasabi.

El surgimiento de Alan Pauls es lo mejor que podía haberle pasado a la literatura argentina desde la estrella de Manuel Puig.

Summary:

The Speechless God is Anna Jansson's debut novel and the first in the hit Nordic crime series about Detective Constable Maria Wern.

'The man was hanging stiffly by a slip noose, his shirt ripped to shreds, with a thick stick piercing his belly.' Police constable Maria Wern and her colleagues are stunned by the bestiality they encounter. A similar murder occurred in Uppsala nine years earlier. The killer had apparently died in a car fire. Could there be a connection after all?

Thanks to Maria's persistence, the image of a murderer begins to coalesce - a human being betrayed and degraded to the point where reality gives way to insanity.

Una comedia prodigiosa de Roberto Santiago.

Antonio lo tiene todo: un buen trabajo, una buena esposa, una buena casa. Bernardo es su mejor amigo. No tiene nada.

Ahora Bernardo se ha enamorado de Sophie, la mujer de Antonio.

Por lo visto, es algo imparable.

Sophie es artista. Atraviesa una crisis creativa y habla 'raro'.

Clara es la camarera del bar al que suelen acudir los tres.

Tuvo ataques de ira en el pasado. Ahora lo tiene controlado. Más o menos.

En esta historia, nada es lo que parece a primera vista.

Estamos en primavera, en un bar en medio de un parque.

Uno de esos lugares donde ocurren cosas prodigiosas:

Declaraciones de amor y amistad, desmayos, besos indefinidos, contratos indefinidos, poesía callejera

Ah, durante este audiolibro se van a pronunciar exactamente diez mil ochocientas setenta y dos

palabras.

No es lo más importante, pero conviene no olvidarlo.

Title: Sixteen Stormy Days: The Story of the First Amendment of the Constitution of India: The Story of the First Amendment of the Constitution of India

Author: Tripurdaman Singh

Narrator: Rakesh Sharma

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:34:26

Language: English

Release date: 02-14-23

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: History, Global Politics, Political Ideologies

Summary:

Sixteen Stormy Days narrates the riveting story of the First Amendment to the Constitution of India-one of the pivotal events in Indian political and constitutional history, and its first great battle of ideas. Passed in June 1951 in the face of tremendous opposition within and outside Parliament, the subject of some of independent Indias fiercest parliamentary debates, the First Amendment drastically curbed freedom of speech; enabled caste-based reservation by restricting freedom against discrimination; circumscribed the right to property and validated abolition of the zamindari system; and fashioned a special schedule of unconstitutional laws immune to judicial challenge. Enacted months before Indias inaugural election, the amendment represents the most profound changes that the Constitution has ever seen. Faced with an expansively liberal Constitution that stood in the way of nearly every major socio-economic plan in the Congress partys manifesto, a judiciary vigorously upholding civil liberties, and a press fiercely resisting his attempt to control public discourse, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru reasserted executive supremacy, creating the constitutional architecture for repression and coercion.What extraordinary set of events led the prime minister-who had championed the Constitution when it was passed in 1950 after three years of deliberation-to radically amend it after a mere sixteen days of debate in 1951?Drawing on parliamentary debates, press reports, judicial pronouncements, official correspondence and existing scholarship, Sixteen Stormy Days challenges conventional wisdom on iconic figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, B.R. Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Patel and Shyama Prasad Mookerji, and lays bare the vast gulf between the liberal promise of Indias Constitution and the authoritarian impulses of her first government.
