  • [German] - Reissleine - Wie ich mich selbst verlor - und wiederfand (ungekürzt) by Katja Suding

Title: [German] - Reissleine - Wie ich mich selbst verlor - und wiederfand (ungekürzt) Author: Katja Suding Narrator: Katja Suding Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: April 8, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Mit bemerkenswerter Offenheit nimmt uns Katja Suding mit hinter die Kulissen der Politik und ihres Lebens. Ein Erfahrungsbericht über das System Spitzenpolitik, emotionale Achterbahnen und den Mut zum Neuanfang.' Brigitte Huber, Chefredakteurin BRIGITTE. 2021 beendet die Bundestagsabgeordnete Katja Suding, stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der FDP und eines der bekanntesten Gesichter der Freien Demokraten, ihre politische Laufbahn. Aus freien Stücken. Und überraschte damit Weggefährten und Kontrahenten gleichermaßen. Natürlich stellte sich sofort die Frage: Was steckt dahinter? Geht es hier um ein Zerwürfnis in der Partei? Kommt Suding, die als eines der größten Talente in der deutschen Politik gilt, einem Rauswurf zuvor? Zieht sie die Reißleine, ehe irgendein noch unbekannter Skandal auffliegt und die Partei in Mitleidenschaft zieht? Nichts davon ist der Fall. Die Wahrheit ist einfacher. Katja Suding war an einem Punkt angekommen, an dem sie erkennen musste: Ich bin nicht mehr ich. Sie merkt: Das exzessive Leben in der Topetage der Politik unter permanenter öffentlicher Beobachtung hat sie von sich selbst entfremdet. Sie beschließt, ihren Abschied aus der Politik selbst zu bestimmen und zu neuen Ufern aufzubrechen. In 'Reißleine' erzählt Katja Suding, was die Politik mit ihr gemacht hat, warum sie ausgestiegen ist, durch welche Täler sie auf dem Weg zurück zu sich selbst gegangen ist, und wie sich ihr Leben fortan entfaltet. Ehrlich, ungeschönt, mitreißend. 2022 by Audio-To-Go Publishing Ltd., Ireland. Buchvorlage by Herder Verlag GmbH, Freiburg.

  • Jefferson An Autobiography In Letters & Private Writings by Thomas Jefferson

Title: Jefferson An Autobiography In Letters & Private Writings Author: Thomas Jefferson Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: April 7, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Thomas Jefferson was an American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. He had previously served as the second vice president of the United States under John Adams and as the first United States secretary of state under George Washington. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, motivating American colonists to break from the Kingdom of Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national levels. During the American Revolution, Jefferson represented Virginia in the Continental Congress that adopted the Declaration of Independence. As a Virginia legislator, he drafted a state law for religious freedom. He served as the second Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, during the American Revolutionary War. In 1785, Jefferson was appointed the United States Minister to France, and subsequently, the nation's first secretary of state under President George Washington from 1790 to 1793. Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose the Federalist Party during the formation of the First Party System. With Madison, he anonymously wrote the provocative Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in 1798 and 1799, which sought to strengthen states' rights by nullifying the federal Alien and Sedition Acts. As president, Jefferson pursued the nation's shipping and trade interests against Barbary pirates and aggressive British trade policies. Starting in 1803, Jefferson promoted a western expansionist policy, organizing the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the nation's claimed land area. To make room for settlement, Jefferson began the process of Indian tribal removal from the newly acquired territory. As a result of peace negotiations with France, his administration reduced military forces.

El exilio: un relato de familia narra los avatares de dos familias que tuvieron que salir de México tras el estallido de la Revolución: la de Porfirio Díaz y la de Joaquín Casasús. Es un relato de carácter íntimo sobre la vida que llevaron a lo largo del exilio y es, también, un recuento de los sucesos que cambiaron al país vistos a través de sus vidas en el extranjero. La historia que cuenta está basada, esencialmente, en fuentes primarias, muchas de ellas inéditas. El libro de Carlos Tello Díaz, tataranieto del general Porfirio Díaz, publicado por primera vez hace veinte años, fue elogiado entonces por uno de los grandes historiadores mexicanos del siglo XX, don Luis González y González, quien escribió estas palabras en una reseña: 'Sin abjurar del profesionalismo y la especialidad, sin apartarse de los rigores del método científico, la nueva historia aspira a la reconciliación con el público, quiere volver a su condición de arte sin perder el prestigio de ciencia. Pueden aducirse muchos ejemplos de la nueva revolución historiográfica que viene a superar la que se produjo en los años cuarenta. El ejemplo hasta ahora mayor de una nueva historia es El exilio: un relato de familia, de Carlos Tello Díaz'.

  • George Soros: A Life In Full by Peter L.W. Osnos

Osnos Narrator: Petrea Burchard, Earl Mclean, Shaun Grindell, George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 58 minutes Release date: April 5, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The name George Soros is recognized around the world. Universally known for his decades of philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success, he is equally well known as the nemesis of the far right—the target of sustained attacks from nationalists, populists, authoritarian regimes, and anti-Semites—because of his commitment to open society, freedom of the press, and liberal democracy. At age ninety-one, Soros still looms large on the global stage, and yet the man himself is surprisingly little understood. Biographers have attempted to tell the story of George Soros, but no single account of his life can capture his extraordinary, multifaceted character. Now, in this ambitious and revealing new book, Soros's longtime publisher, Peter L. W. Osnos, has assembled an intriguing set of contributors from a variety of different perspectives—public intellectuals (Eva Hoffman, Michael Ignatieff), journalists (Sebastian Mallaby, Orville Schell), scholars (Leon Botstein, Ivan Krastev), and nonprofit leaders (Gara LaMarche, Darren Walker)—to paint a full picture of the man beyond the media portrayals. Through this kaleidoscope of viewpoints emerges a vivid and compelling portrait of this remarkable man's unique and consequential impact. It has truly been a life in full.

  • [Spanish] - Oración: Carta a Vicki y otras elegías políticas by María Moreno
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578101 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Oración: Carta a Vicki y otras elegías políticas Author: María Moreno Narrator: Ines Ulanovsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 46 minutes Release date: April 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Partiendo del enfrentamiento en el que muere Vicki Walsh a través de documentos y testimonios de sobrevivientes, Oración es una relectura de la obra periodística de Rodolfo Walsh y sus procedimientos estético-políticos a partir de sus 'Carta a Vicki' y 'Carta a mis amigos', menos conocidas que su 'Carta a la Junta'. Combinación y cruce de géneros, el libro es principalmente una investigación sobre la verdad en su dimensión para-judicial, sus metáforas y el nuevo valor del testimonio. Oración es de aquellos libros que transforman nuestra sensibilidad al pensar la tragedia humana. Con la investigación del asalto del Ejército a la casa donde a fines de 1976 muere Vicki Walsh, el libro propone una nueva tradición fundada en las cartas que Rodolfo Walsh dedica a su hija y a sus amigos. En esos textos, la gesta política de Walsh se transforma en literaria e íntima, porque instaura un linaje de mujeres destinado a jaquear el protocolo testimonial de la violencia política que -en cine, literatura y teatro- estallará con la interpelación recurrente de hijas y madres sobre los alcances de la vida y el amor. María Moreno, consagrada como una de las voces más audaces y plenas de Hispanoamérica, arrasa con las fronteras entre ensayo, literatura, crítica, investigación y biografía para llevar la escritura a un nuevo mundo, del que es a la vez creadora, descubridora y cronista. La crítica ha dicho... «Somos muchos los que consideramos a María Moreno la mejor cronista argentina de todos los tiempos y una de las voces documentales más lúcidas de la lengua, entre otras hipérboles razonables.» Jorge Carrión, The New York Times 'La verdad de Moreno es una norma de estilo, de un gran estilo plebeyo.' Carlos Pardo, Babelia

  • [Spanish] - De la paz al olvido: Porfirio Díaz y el final de un mundo by Rafael Tovar Y De Teresa
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/580487 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - De la paz al olvido: Porfirio Díaz y el final de un mundo Author: Rafael Tovar Y De Teresa Narrator: Rafa Serrano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 41 minutes Release date: March 31, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: De la paz al olvido dibuja el vasto panorama que abarca el arco de tiempo entre el último brindis triunfal de don Porfirio Díaz a su último aliento. De la paz al olvido narra la historia del declive de Porfirio Díaz en medio de la transformación en México y Europa, en la que se cruzan la Revolución mexicana y la Belle Époque, el fin del orden monárquico y el inicio de la democracia moderna. Rafael Tovar y de Teresa ofrece al lector el retrato de una época y la crónica de un personaje que lo fue casi todo: héroe, dictador, soldado, pacificador, culto cívico y fantasma en el exilio. El 15 de septiembre de 1910, Porfirio Díaz cumplía ochenta años, encabezando los festejos del Centenario -una conmemoración cuyo objetivo era presentar a México ante el mundo como un país próspero y moderno, yasimismo ensalzar la figura del arquitecto de ese progreso-. Sin embargo, la fiesta también sería la antesala de una convulsión. Menos de un año después, el 25 de mayo de 1911, Díaz presenta su renuncia como presidente de la República, para partir rumbo al exilio europeo, antes de una semana, a bordo del Ypiranga. Tres años más tarde, estalla la Gran Guerra, dando fin a la larga paz del siglo XIX. Once meses después, el 2 julio de 1915, muere en París el caudillo mexicano. Parece un periodo breve, pero el cambio político, social y cultural ocurrido en estos años es uno de los más radicales de la historia. Díaz llega a una Europa que vive el ocaso de una época marcada por el crecimiento económico, el fulgor científico y artístico, y el imperio de fuertes hombres de Estado. El viejo general ve en este declive su propio reflejo, mientras desde México le llegan noticias de la guerra civil y de cómo su nombre va cayendo en el olvido.

  • Sonny: The Last of the Old Time Mafia Bosses, John 'Sonny' Franzese by S.J. Peddie
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568818 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Sonny: The Last of the Old Time Mafia Bosses, John 'Sonny' Franzese Author: S.J. Peddie Narrator: Tanya Eby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 22 minutes Release date: March 29, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: John 'Sonny' Franzese reportedly committed his first murder at the age of fourteen. As a 'made man' for the Colombo crime family, he operated out of his Long Island home specializing in racketeering, fraud, loansharking, and other illicit deeds he would deny to his dying day. His career in organized crime spanned over eight decades—and he was sentenced to fifty years in prison for robbery charges. But even behind bars, Sonny Franzese never stopped doing business . . . This is the true story of an old-school Mafioso as it's never been told before. Newsday reporter S. J. Peddie interviewed Franzese in prison—and uncovered a lifetime of shocking secrets from the legend himself: why FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had a very personal interest in Sonny; how Sonny managed to juggle numerous affairs with women, including a famous model; how Sonny spent a third of his life in prison—and still managed to earn untold millions for the mob; how Sonny accidentally revealed some of his worst crimes—to a 'friend' wearing a wire; and how Sonny hobnobbed with celebrities such as Ava Gardner, Jayne Mansfield, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dionne Warwick, among others. This is a must-listen for anyone fascinated with Mafia history—and a rare look inside a criminal mind that has become the stuff of legend.
