Title: Walking (Unabridged) Author: Henry David Thoreau Narrator: Chris Masterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 28 minutes Release date: May 5, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Walking by Henry David Thoreau or sometimes referred to as 'The Wild', is a lecture by Henry David Thoreau first delivered at the Concord Lyceum on April 23, 1851. It was written between 1851 and 1860, but parts were extracted from his earlier journals. Thoreau read the piece a total of ten times, more than any other of his lectures. 'Walking' was first published as an essay in the Atlantic Monthly after his death in 1862. Writing Style: 'Walking' has autobiographical side of Henry David Thoreau as well, and reflects the author's personal experiences. As Rebecca Solnit has stated in 'Wanderlust: A History of Walking', the rhythm of walking could be the sources of music, conversation, thoughts, and literature. In over ten years of walking, Thoreau kept observing nature, organizing his thought, and considering the best way to express his lecture; his diary shows what elements in his daily life influenced his environmental view and motivated him to write it. Above all, the author's correspondence with friends provides not only his lecture career but also his works and his writing process. As a result, his essay is told by the voice of the confident narrator, given some authority. Moreover, using allusion, he succeeded in not only understanding the essay broader but also obtaining a form of poetry, and with his lecture and the new writing style, 'Walking' became a new critique of the existing society.

Title: [Spanish] - Los chicos de Hidden Valley Road Author: Robert Kolker Narrator: Carme Calvell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 17 minutes Release date: April 18, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Doce hermanos, seis diagnosticados con esquizofrenia. Una tragedia familiar, la gran esperanza de la ciencia para entender la enfermedad N.º 1 de la lista de libros más vendidos del New York Times Don y Mimi Galvin encarnan como nadie el espíritu ingenuo y entusiasta de los Estados Unidos de su época. Jóvenes y llenos de sueños y ambiciones, el futuro es para ellos un horizonte abierto. Los hijos no tardan en llegar: en 1945 nace Donald, el primero de los doce que tendrá la pareja a lo largo de dos décadas. Atléticos, inteligentes, talentosos, atractivos y felizmente instalados en la idílica casa de Hidden Valley Road, los Galvin se dirían la perfecta familia americana. Hasta que un día, tras una serie de extraños comportamientos, diagnostican esquizofrenia a Donald. En los años sucesivos, nada menos que otros cinco de los chicos de Hidden Valley Road desarrollarán la enfermedad, y la amenaza siempre penderá sobre la cabeza del resto. Pese a que su singular caso llegará a llamar la atención del Instituto Nacional de Salud Mental, Mimi se pasará media vida tratando de mantener la impoluta fachada de familia modélica e intachable, mientras de puertas adentro la desdicha y el horror no hacen sino acrecentarse: crisis nerviosas, episodios de violencia descontrolada, secretos abominables… Los chicos de Hidden Valley Road es una portentosa crónica con un pulso narrativo tan sólido y adictivo que se lee como una novela: una saga familiar llena de amor, sufrimiento y esperanza que se desarrolla en paralelo no solo a los grandes episodios de la historia estadounidense del siglo xx, sino también a los avances en la visión, comprensión y tratamiento de la esquizofrenia. El libro de Kolker es una lectura apasionante que nos habla de la tragedia de una familia devorada por la esquizofrenia en una época en la que nadie sabía demasiado bien qué era: ni los doctores, ni los investigadores, ni mucho menos los Galvin.
