Publisher's Summary:

The fully updated digital edition of Hugh Johnson's multi-award-winning 1989 masterpiece, in which the author explores humanity's fascination with the most venerable of alcoholic beverages from Noah to Now. When first published in 1989 The Story of Wine won every wine award in the UK and the USA. It is widely regarded as Hugh Johnson's most ambitious and enthralling book, writing it, according to Hugh, was like trying to get a quart into a liqueur glass. It is not just one story but a collection of many, scanning the wine world from Noah to Napa, from Pompeii to Pomerol, as illuminating to our understanding of civilization as it is to our appreciation of wine. Chronicling the making, merchandising and drinking of wine through millennia, this beautiful new edition is fully updated to include Johnson's view of the evolution of wine over the past 30 years. As historian Andrew Roberts says in his foreword: 'The genius of The Story of Wine derives from the fact that it is an adventure story, full of mysteries, art and culture.'

Title: When Indian Rupee was the Arab world's legal tender

Author: Amit Schandillia

Narrator: Vijayan Menon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 39 minutes

Release date: September 7, 2021

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

Today, the American dollar is legal tender in as many as seven sovereign nations besides the United States of America. But there was a time, not too long ago, when another currency enjoyed a similar influence far from home. It was legal tender in half a dozen countries besides its own, all of them in a region that influences the global economy more than any other on the planet today. It's the Indian rupee. This is the rarely-told story of how a currency from a nation as impoverished as ours went on to enjoy such clout in one of the wealthiest parts of the world, and how it ended.

Title: B.R. Ambedkar, the man who defied the Mahatma

Author: Amit Schandillia

Narrator: Vijayan Menon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 41 minutes

Release date: August 17, 2021

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

Mahatma Gandhi sought India's independence, as did B.R. Ambedkar. Gandhi sought the emancipation of the oppressed, Ambedkar wanted that too. And yet, the two keystones of the monument called India couldn't be more antithetical to each other's principles. They held immense respect for each other and together, offered great solidarity to the greater good. So it's easy to lose sight of just how deeply opposed they were to each other in the fundamentals of their politics. Many are probably not even aware of such a difference between two of the tallest leaders of an emergent India. It is probably the least talked about political rivalry in the history of this country. This is the story of how their rivalry shaped the constitution of our country and its socio politics well into the 21st century.

Author: Homero

Narrator: Clara Sofía Arrieta

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 20 hours 16 minutes

Release date: August 5, 2021

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

Aquiles, el más veloz de los hombres, se ha retirado de la contienda tras un disgusto con el rey Agamenón. Este es el inicio de uno de los episodios más conocidos de la Guerra de Troya, en el que la ira de Aquiles tendrá consecuencias terribles para ambos bandos durante los 51 días que duran estos cantos, mientras que los dioses conspiran y luchan a la par de sus favoritos. Este gran poema épico atribuido a Homero es el inicio de la literatura universal, cuyos personajes y eventos se han vuelto arquetipos esenciales en nuestra cultura. Storytel Classics es una apuesta de Storytel por darle un nuevo soplo de vida a los clásicos a través de la interpretación de grandes lectores como la actriz colombiana Sofía Arrieta. La decisión de prestar la voz de Sofía a La Ilíada es una invitación a aproximarnos a este texto clásico con una nueva perspectiva, aunque su genial interpretación no necesite de ningún pretexto para disfrutarse.

Title: India's First Newspaper

Author: Amit Schandillia

Narrator: Raghavendra Ashok

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 43 minutes

Release date: July 27, 2021

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

Five years before The Times and over seventy years before The New York Times, a four-page broadsheet appeared in Calcutta to become the first newspaper in India and all of Asia. This newspaper, started by an Irish expatriate on Indian soil under British patronage, soon became a lighthouse of resistance and free speech when the Sepoy Mutiny was still almost a century away. The story of India's first newspaper is the story of oppression, audacity, conspiracy, and determination. This story has happy moments, but it does not have a happy ending. Most importantly, it has lessons—both political and editorial.

Title: The Scindias, The Tatas, A Medieval Treasure & A Bailout

Author: Amit Schandillia

Narrator: Anish Nair

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 34 minutes

Release date: July 6, 2021

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

India has been called the golden bird so often, that it's become a cliché now. But the title doesn't exist without reason. Sure, this land has seen catastrophic famines and poverty rarely seen elsewhere in human history, but it's never lost its familiarity with extreme wealth either. British India was a tribute to the wealth gap in ways hard to fathom today. India was a Golden Bird but caged by royalty. One such royalty was the Scindias. This is the story of how a clan went from bearing a rich nobility's slippers for a living to bankrolling India's biggest economic turnaround.
