Title: [Spanish] - A orillas de la noche

Author: Daur Nachkebia

Narrator: Luis Carreño, Jonathan Miranda

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 4 minutes

Release date: July 16, 2019

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

«En el idioma abjasio la palabra 'guerra' significa 'asesinato mutuo', una definición cruel pero honesta, sin matices paliativos. Por lo visto, se remonta a la época muy remota cuando el ser humano llamaba las cosas por su nombre, porque aún no existían las normas 'políticamente correctas'. Los pueblos del Sur del Cáucaso llevan ya dos décadas matándose unos a otros. Se han quedado atrás los momentos más devastadores, aunque en un lugar u otro brotan fuentes de discrepancias, cobrando más y más vidas… Mi novela no es sobre la guerra —es sobre cómo la guerra mata todo lo que está vivo, mata a quienes sobrevivieron, los que defendieron su tierra, por muy noble que parezca su causa. Por lo visto, en eso radica el destino trágico de nuestra generación que nunca ha vuelto de la guerra, que anda 'perdida' en ella…»

Title: [Spanish] - Conspiración contra Güemes

Author: Elsa Drucaroff

Narrator: Gabriela Olarieta

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 15 hours 26 minutes

Release date: July 9, 2019

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

La novela que continúa la saga de las espías salteñas que Elsa Drucaroff iniciara con éxito en La patria de las mujeres. La aristocrática Loreto Sánchez de Peón y su ayudante, la liberta Benita, que ya han demostrado sagacidad y valentía en arriesgadas misiones de inteligencia a favor de Güemes y del movimiento independentista patriota, enfrentan aquí un desafío aun mayor: alertar y proteger al caudillo de las múltiples conjuras que lo amenazan. Es que el General no solo libra una guerra de guerrillas contra la Corona española sino también una dura pulseada contra los dueños del poder tradicional. 'Conspiración contra Güemes es una novela que construye una trama eficiente desde el código de la novela de espionaje y que consigue, incluso, incorporar y distanciarse de ciertos lugares comunes, tanto 'oficiales' como 'revisionistas''. Eduardo Muslip, Página/12.

Title: [Spanish] - La patria de las mujeres. Una historia de espías en la Salta de Güemes

Author: Elsa Drucaroff

Narrator: Gabriela Olarieta

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 9 minutes

Release date: February 25, 2019

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

En medio de la guerra de independencia contra la Corona española, un grupo de mujeres –damas de sociedad, niñas casaderas, negras esclavas, indias y mestizas– protagonizaron una de las gestas más desconocidas de nuestra historia. Fueron las 'bomberas', las míticas espías de Güemes, fundamentales en la guerra de guerrillas que comandó el caudillo salteño. Pero la batalla no era solo contra el enemigo realista. Elsa Drucaroff arma una vibrante y magistral ficción –con un marco histórico fruto de una investigación profunda– que indaga en el alma femenina de estas valientes patriotas, sometidas por los prejuicios de una sociedad patriarcal y clasista. La imposible historia de amor entre la adolescente Mariana Mercedes Guadalupe Molina Inhierza y el mestizo tallista de santos Gabriel Mamaní es la disparadora de una trama en la que el patriotismo, el amor, la traición y la vergüenza se entrecruzan. Marea presenta la nueva edición de La patria de las mujeres, la primera novela de Elsa Drucaroff, también publicada en Europa. Una novela de intriga, romance y aventuras que transcurre en ese tiempo épico en el que la Patria estaba naciendo y que plantea preguntas necesarias: ¿ofrecía el nuevo orden a las mujeres un horizonte distinto del de la colonia moribunda? ¿Uno tan distinto como para que ellas tuvieran motivos para luchar?

Author: Ralph Peters

Narrator: Peter Berkrot

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 21 hours 55 minutes

Release date: September 15, 2013

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times bestselling author Ralph Peters returns with the sequel to his smash hit Cain at Gettysburg Between May 5 and June 3, 1864, the Union and Confederate armies suffered eighty-eight thousand casualties. Twenty-nine thousand were killed, wounded, or captured in the first two days of combat. The savagery shocked a young, divided nation. Against this backdrop of the birth of modern warfare and the painful rebirth of the United States, Peters has created a breathtaking narrative. In Hell or Richmond, thirty days of ceaseless carnage are seen through the eyes of a compelling cast, from the Union's Harvard valedictorian 'boy general,' Francis Channing Barlow, to the brawling 'dirty boots' Rebel colonel, William C. Oates. From Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee to a simple laborer destined to win the Medal of Honor, Peters brings to life an enthralling array of leaders and simple soldiers from both North and South, fleshing out history with stunning, knowledgeable realism. From the horrific collision of armies in the Wilderness, where neither side wanted to fight, to the shocking slaughter of the grand charge at Cold Harbor, this epic novel delivers a compelling, authentic, and suspenseful portrait of Civil War combat. Commemorating the approaching 150th anniversary of this grim encounter between valiant Americans, Ralph Peters brings to bear the lessons of his own military career, his lifelong study of this war and the men who fought it, and his skills as a bestselling, prizewinning novelist to portray horrific battles and sublime heroism as no other author has done.

Title: The Crooked Maid: A Novel

Author: Dan Vyleta

Narrator: Kate Reading

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 15 hours 44 minutes

Release date: August 6, 2013

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Graham Greene meets Dostoevsky in a thrilling and atmospheric story of guilt and restitution set in postwar Vienna. Vienna, 1948. The war is over, and as the initial phase of de-Nazification winds down, the citizens of Vienna struggle to rebuild their lives amid the rubble. Anna Beer returns to the city she fled nine years earlier after discovering her husband's infidelity. She has come back to find him and, perhaps, to forgive him. Traveling on the same train from Switzerland is eighteen-year-old Robert Seidel, a schoolboy summoned home to his stepfather's sickbed and the secrets of his family's past. As Anna and Robert navigate an unrecognizable city, they cross paths with a war-widowed American journalist, a hunchbacked young servant girl, and a former POW whose primary purpose is to survive by any means—and to forget. Meanwhile, in the shells of burned-out houses and beneath the bombed-out ruins, a ghost of a man, his head wrapped in a red scarf, battles demons from his past and hides from a future deeply uncertain for all. In The Crooked Maid, Dan Vyleta returns to the shadows of war-darkened Vienna, proving himself once again 'a magical storyteller, master of the macabre' (David Park).
