Title: We Wanted to be Writers Subtitle: Life, Love, and Literature at the Iowa Writers' Workshop Author: Eric Olsen, Glenn Schaffer Narrator: Rama Vallury Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 02-13-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: It was the best teaching-writing job I ever had. (John Irving) We Wanted to be Writers is a rollicking and insightful blend of original interviews, commentary, advice, gossip, anecdotes, analyses, history, and asides with nearly thirty graduates and teachers at the now legendary Iowa Writers' Workshop between 1974 and 1978. Among the talents that emerged in those years - writing, criticizing, drinking, and debating in the classrooms and barrooms of Iowa City - were the younger versions of writers who became John Irving, Jane Smiley, T. C. Boyle, Michelle Huneven, Allan Gurganus, Sandra Cisneros, Jayne Anne Phillips, Jennie Fields, Joy Harjo, Joe Haldeman, and many others. It is chock full of insights and a treasure trove of inspiration for all writers, readers, history lovers, and anyone who ever "wanted to be a writer." Jane Smiley on the Iowa writers' workshop: "In that period, the teachers tended to be men of a certain age, with the idea that competition was somehow the key-the Norman Mailer period. The story was that if you disagreed with Norman, or gave him a bad review, he'd punch you in the nose. You were supposed to get in fights in restaurants." T.C. Boyle on his short story "Drowning": "I got $25 for it, which was wonderful... You know, getting $25 for the product of your own brain? You could buy a lot of beer in Iowa City back then for that." Editorial Reviews: The right time, the right place, the right mix of people - all the conditions for creative success were met between 1974 and 1978 at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, a group that nurtured the talents of John Irving, Jane Smiley, T.C. Boyle, and other literary greats. We Wanted to be Writers reminisces over this time of creative ferment through interviews and commentary with over 30 graduates and teachers from the legendary institution. Voice performer Rama Vallury takes listeners into the convivial inner circle of writers, skillfully capturing their yearning for success alongside the gossip and advice they so easily dispense. Entertaining and thoughtful, We Wanted to be Writers is sure to inspire anyone whose keenest desire is to write.

Basten Narrator: Samantha Worthen Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Nice women never wore makeup. Even the word was taboo in polite societyuntil Max Factor entered the scene. Born in Poland in 1877, Factor worked as a beautician for the Russian royal family, the Romanovs. In 1904, he fled to America, where he opened a cosmetics store in Los Angeles. Creating makeup originally for silent films, then the talkies, and, ultimately, color motion pictures, Factor designed looks for Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Bette Davis, and countless other beauties of the day. Soon women everywhere wanted to look like their favorite glamorous stars, and Factor was there to help, bringing his innovative cosmetics to the general public. He revolutionized the world of beauty by producing many firsts: false eyelashes, lip gloss, foundation, eye shadow, the eyebrow pencil, concealer, wand-applicator mascara, and water-resistant makeup. A true innovator, he also introduced the concept of color harmony and the celebrity-endorsed cosmetics advertising that forms the glamorous backbone of the modern industry. Max Factor was the father of modern makeup. This is his extraordinary story. Editorial Reviews: Fred Basten, many of whose books have featured Hollywood and the entertainment industry, explores the biography of the "father of modern makeup". Born in Poland, Max Factor worked on first Russian and then Hollywood royalty. With the friendliness and openness of a favorite cosmetician, Samantha Worthen reads the story of a cosmetics innovator who created the looks of Romanov women as well as stars such as Pola Negri, Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, and Bette Davis. Additionally, he proved himself a great salesman and only-in-America entrepreneur by bringing that glamour to the women of Main Street. Critic Reviews: Fascinating . . . you wont be able to put it down. (Glamour)

Title: 1912: The Year the World Discovered Antartica Author: Chris Turney Narrator: James Millar Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-12 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration Publisher's Summary: 1912 was an incredible year, marking the height of the Heroic Age of Exploration. Curiosity about Antarctica was at fever pitch, and between 1910 and 1914 five teams of intrepid explorers embarked on the greatest race of the era, to travel beyond the edges of the known world and conquer this last great frontier. Pitted against one another were Captain Robert Falcon Scott for Britain, Roald Amundsen for Norway, Sir Douglas Mawson for Australasia, Wilhelm Filchner for Germany, and Nobu Shirase for Japan. "Conquest of the South Pole!" trumpeted the world's newspapers in March 1912. Amundsen had won. But behind all the headlines, there was a much bigger story. The exploits of these larger-than-life explorers, often narrated in their own words, thrilled and enthralled the world; the limits of our planet were pushed all the way to the South Pole and the door to Antarctica flung wide open. Drawing on his own polar experiences, Chris Turney reveals why 1912 witnessed the dawn of a new age in our understanding of the natural world. The tales of endurance, self-sacrifice, and technological innovation that marked 1912 laid the foundation for modern scientific exploration and have continued to inspire future generations. 1912 is an awe-inspiring journey - part nail-biting adventure, part scientific history - through an ancient and fascinating land. Includes a PDF of photographs from these Antarctic expeditions.

En un viejo pub de Calcuta se fragua el plan, unir la India y España por tierra en un destartalado Land Rover, que se convertiría casualmente en transporte y albergue. Un viaje a la antigua donde los protagonistas pasan de situaciones límite como tener que comer escoltados por la policía en un pueblo cerca de la frontera entre Pakistán y Afganistán, a momentos extraordinarios donde camioneros iraníes se confabulan para protegerlos de cualquier ataque nocturno en una de las fronteras más desangeladas del planeta. Este es un viaje lleno de personajes extraordinarios, situaciones al límite y no pocos momentos hilarantes con el fin de encontrar diferencias y similitudes entre Romaníes de toda Europa partiendo de sus verdaderos orígenes; las tribus del Norte de la India.
