Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa, König Philippe II. August von Frankreich und König Richard Löwenherz von England ziehen mit ihren Rittern aus, um Palästina und die Stadt Jerusalem von Sultan Saladin zurückzuerobern.

Title: Blue: A Novel

Author: Emmelie Prophète

Narrator: Krystel Roche

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 23 minutes

Release date: January 1, 2022

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

An award-winning Haitian novel about silence, beauty, and the solidarity of tears. Airports are distillations of the world. I like thinking of them that way. The hope of leaving and the desire to come home, existing side by side. Any voyage is possible. My mind flies off toward the blue province once again. I don’t know, anymore, why I always associate it with blue. It isn’t even my favorite color. Traveling alone from Miami to Port-au-Prince, our narrator finds comfort at the airport. She feels free to ponder the silence that surrounds her homeland, her mother, her aunts, and her own inner thoughts. Between two places, she sees how living in poverty keeps women silent, forging their identities around practicality and resilience. From a distance, she is drawn inevitably homeward toward her family and the glittering blue Caribbean Sea. Blue comes alive through vivid images crowding the page, just as memories do in real life, as if the author is trying to sort through them, to come to grips with her own emotional conflict. Balancing the pain and anger are spiritual bonds that connect the author to the women who have come before her, who have created her, and with Haiti itself, her motherland. No amount of glittering opportunity up north can prevent her from finding her way home.

Author: Valentín Trujillo

Narrator: Randolfo Barrionuevo

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 47 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2021

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

En plena guerra de independencia, un grupo de patriotas naufraga en las costas del Perú. Uno de ellos es el coronel Carlos Federico de Brandsen, destacado jinete francés que había peleado junto a Napoleón y que luego, en América, continuó la lucha por la libertad de las incipientes repúblicas. Su periplo a través de los Andes, desfiladeros, pueblos fantasmas, caminos tortuosos, nevadas inclementes y el acecho de ejércitos enemigos va limando la conciencia y la fidelidad a las causas de los protagonistas de esta historia basada en episodios verídicos, pero casi desconocidos en estas tierras. Luego de tanta sangre vista, tanto tiempo en el campo de batalla, las guerras empiezan a mezclarse en la mente de Brandsen, pero también se le aparecen recuerdos del futuro, imágenes que parecen presagiar derrotas posteriores. Tanto enfrentarse con la muerte ya no sabe cuál es la vida que está viviendo. En pleno siglo XXI, Trujillo ha escrito una épica no exenta de tragedia.
