Title: [Russian] - Рим — это я

Author: Сантьяго Постегильо

Narrator: Станислав Федорчук

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 25 hours 32 minutes

Release date: August 21, 2024

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Порой один человек меняет ход истории, при жизни становится легендой, а после смерти — недосягаемым образцом для подражания. Порой на свете рождаются подлинно эпические персонажи, и один из них — Юлий Цезарь, фигура многогранная и сложная, защитник народа и борец с элитами, который превратился в диктатора и за свое стремление к власти поплатился жизнью. Впрочем, в 77 году до н. э. Рим еще не знает, до чего важен окажется этот юноша для государства. И беспринципный и жестокий сенатор Долабелла, бывший губернатор Македонии, готовясь предстать перед судом, ничуть не нервничает: казалось бы, неопытный двадцатитрехлетний обвинитель по имени Гай Юлий Цезарь не представляет ни малейшей угрозы... Сантьяго Постегильо, филолог и лингвист, дотошный исследователь и энергичный рассказчик, автор исторических бестселлеров, посвященных истории Древнего Рима, всю жизнь готовился написать цикл о Юлии Цезаре. «Мне казалось, право писать о нем я должен заслужить», — говорит он. «Рим — это я», судебный триллер, который понравился бы Джону Гришэму, и красочная фреска в лучших традициях жанра исторического романа, — первая книга цикла, и в ней речь идет о малоизвестном эпизоде биографии Цезаря. Здесь Цезарь, еще молодой человек, терпит поражения — и все равно выходит победителем, впервые добиваясь признания масс. Здесь вновь кипят сражения, выигранные две тысячи лет назад, и оживают ораторы, соревнующиеся в красноречии, на котором мы учимся по сей день. Здесь сердца людей, чью биографию изучают школьники и академики, снова полны нежности и страсти, а жизни тех, кто борется за справедливость, опять, как испокон веков, угрожает опасность. Впервые на русском!

Publisher's Summary:

Japan, 1745, is a land under the iron grip of the Tokugawa shoguns. Roads are monitored, dissent stifled, and order maintained through blackmail and an extensive network of informers. Amid rumors of rebellion, Kurosawa Kinko—samurai and monk—is expelled in disgrace as the head music instructor of his Zen temple in Nagasaki. He begins an odyssey across Japan, dogged by agents and assassins from an unknown foe. Along his journey, Kinko encounters a compelling cast of merchants, ronin, courtesans, spies, warriors, hermits, and spirits, on a quest to redeem his honor. Inspired by the life of the historical Kurosawa Kinko (1710–1771), master of the shakuhachi flute and founder of the Kinko-ryu school, Song of the Samurai takes the listener on a richly textured exploration of feudal Japan and the complexities of the human spirit. This enhanced audiobook includes shakuhachi musical interludes performed by the author.

Title: Rock Bottom, Tennessee

Author: Kimberly Nixon

Narrator: Dani Nelson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 54 minutes

Release date: August 19, 2024

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Life is hard for Ruby, who grew up in poverty on the wrong side of the mountain on her grandfather's farm, where the sun literally didn't shine. The Appalachian setting isn't her friend as she searches for an easy life at the 'tippy-top' with contentment and security. Ruby makes a series of poor decisions, causing her life to tumble into an unexpected outcome. Joseph knew that he always wanted to be a teacher. His family, one of the more prosperous on the mountain, surrounded him with love and support and encouraged him to find happiness with a family of his own. Leon, a former farmhand on her grandfather's farm, darts in and out of Ruby's life on his way toward a life of crime. The Four Winds meets Blind Tiger in this tale set in Prohibition-era Appalachian Tennessee in the early 1900s. The setting and mountain community become other characters of the story. Based on a real-life tale of the author's grandmother, the reader gets immersed in Ruby's choices as she searches for worthiness and belonging. Was the adventure worth the loss of her family? Will Ruby find what she is looking for? 'In this gritty tale of danger, daring, and morally ambiguous women, Kimberly Nixon shows her talent for creating flawed but compelling characters. At times both tense and touching, Rock Bottom, Tennessee is powerful in its humanity. With a richly detailed setting, the story captures its era well.' ~Kim Lozano, writer and editor 'Nixon's original and unflinching prose reveals Ruby Sullivan's hardscrabble odyssey from Appalachian poverty towards self-worth and belonging.' - Elizabeth Sumner Wafler, author

Title: The Plan

Author: Susan Klopfer

Narrator: Tim Morgan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 24 minutes

Release date: August 14, 2024

Genres: Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Starting in New York City, The Plan quickly moves to the Mississippi Delta and winds up in Ecuador. Based on a true story of two murdered civil rights lawyers, Susan Klopfer’s intriguing work weaves factual history through alternative or paranormal fiction themes. The tight bond between Clinton and Joe, two gay, black lawyers is broken when Joe (openly married to a knockout blond woman) is reportedly found hanged. Moore believes Joe Means was tortured and murdered (not a suicide, as Joe’s cagey wife insists), and that his and Joe’s shared obsession—investigating the cover-ups of various murders and assassinations of civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and President John Kennedy—is the reason for Joe’s death. Clinton also believes he is next on a hit list, and that solving Joe’s murder is his only chance of survival. When he discovers Joe’s wife, Tara, was spirited away as an expat to South America, he sends his trusted Spanish-speaking legal assistant, Mollie Johnson, to Ecuador for the adventure of her life. But Clinton Moore is killed before Mollie even leaves the airport. Mollie responds to join forces with former Dallas journalist Sara Mercury, and together they take readers into the high Andes to bring home Joe’s widow who they believe is in serious danger. Filled with more than enough civil rights and alternative history to titillate the most sophisticated conspiracy theorist, Klopfer‘s first foray into paranormal and alternative fiction is thought-provoking fodder and a fun read! Ties to the KKK, paramilitary groups (Militia), Neo Nazis, Chile's Colonia Dignidad (Paul Schaeffer and Augusto Pinochet), the NSA, FBI, CIA and the assassinations of two famous civil rights leaders and President John F. Kennedy, keep the fast pace of this historical fiction, paranormal thriller that is first of the Civil Rights Mystery Sleuth crime adventure series.
