Title: Cleopatra's Daughter: From Roman Prisoner to African Queen

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Biography & Memoir, History & Culture

Summary:

The first biography of one of the most fascinating yet long-neglected rulers of the ancient world: Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Antony and Cleopatra.

Years ago, archaeologists excavating near Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman treasures, among them a bowl depicting a woman with thick, curly hair and sporting an elephant-scalp headdress. For decades, theories circulated about her identityuntil, at last, she was ascertained to be Cleopatra Selene, the only surviving daughter of Roman Triumvir Marc Antony and Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII. Using this discovery as her starting point and creating a narrative from mere fragments in the archaeological record, historian Jane Draycott reconstructs the exceptional life of this woman who, although born into royalty and raised in her mothers court, was held captive by Augustus Caesar and his sister, Octavia, after her parents demise. Yet as Draycott shows, Cleopatra Selene was destined to emerge as an influential ruler in her own right, as queen, alongside King Juba II, of Mauretania, an ancient African kingdom. A long-overdue historical corrective, Cleopatras Daughter reclaims a mighty regentand her infamous familyfor posterity.

Title: Shield of David: A History of Jewish Servicemen in America's Armed Forces

Author: Chaim M. Rosenberg

Narrator: Eric Burgher

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:48:59

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, Military

Summary:

Since Revolutionary times, Jews have served in the United States armed forces and fought bravely in America's wars.

Jews first arrived in the New World in 1654, seeking religious freedom. Since the beginning of American nationhood, Jewish volunteers and conscripts fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, on both sides of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, in both World Wars, and in the Korean, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars. Over the years, the American military learned to integrate its Jewish servicemen and women by providing Jewish military chaplains, kosher food, religious services, and placing the Star of David on the graves of fallen Jewish soldiers.

The end of conscription and the establishment of the All-Volunteer Force in 1973 offered other paths to serve our country. American Jews have contributed with distinction in the arts and sciences, academia, entertainment, government, and in building the economy. For Jews, America is the Goldene Medina-the Golden Country.

Title: On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide

Author: Richard Barrios

Narrator: Richard Barrios

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:11:39

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

Marilyn Monroe has been gone for over sixty years, and yet people are still talking about her. What, exactly, is the spell she casts on so many? Stunning, exciting to watch, incredibly famous, Monroe lived a very public life and died young, with a sad suddenness. All of this is true, and yet there is so much more to her story.

On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide looks past the sensation to the real legacy—her richly varied body of work. Both during her life and following her death, Monroe was dismissed as more of a phenomenon than an actor, often an object of ridicule instead of a performer whose work could be taken seriously. The truth that lay behind the dazzling surface was that she was one of the hardest working of actors. Rigorously applying both skillful technique and an inherent charisma, she was able to create truly unforgettable performances.

In this lively guide, Richard Barrios looks beyond the ballyhoo and legend at Monroe's best-known films, and some that remain obscure. It also addresses the work she did on television and the stage, as well as her underrated abilities as a vocalist. Both an informative study and a perceptive critical assessment, On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide gives this brilliant performer the attention she desired—that of an artist whose work deserves both examination and celebration.

Title: Bruno Schulz: An Artist, a Murder, and the Hijacking of History

Author: Benjamin Balint

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:39:04

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Military, Arts & Entertainment, History & Culture

Summary:

The twentieth-century artist Bruno Schulz was born an Austrian, lived as a Pole, and died a Jew. He was a master of twentieth-century imaginative fiction who mapped the anxious perplexities of his time; Isaac Bashevis Singer called him 'one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived.' Schulz was also a talented illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Schulz's art became the currency in which he bought life.

Drawing on extensive new reporting and research, Benjamin Balint chases the inventive murals Schulz painted on the walls of an SS villa-the last traces of his vanished world-into multiple dimensions of the artist's life and afterlife. Sixty years after Schulz was murdered, those murals were miraculously rediscovered, only to be secretly smuggled by Israeli agents to Jerusalem. The ensuing international furor summoned broader perplexities, not just about who has the right to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings, but about who can claim to stand guard over the legacy of Jews killed in the Nazi slaughter.

By re-creating the artist's milieu at a crossroads of art, sex, and violence, this book offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of an artist's life, with all its paradoxes and curtailed possibilities.

Title: Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust

Author: Ari Joskowicz

Narrator: Michael Kirby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:22:59

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, Military

Summary:

Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust, yet the world did not recognize their destruction equally. In the years and decades following the war, the Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts, scholars, educators, curators, and politicians, while the genocide of Europe's Roma went largely ignored. Rain of Ash is the untold story of how Roma turned to Jewish institutions, funding sources, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition and compensation for their wartime suffering.

Ari Joskowicz vividly describes the experiences of Hitler's forgotten victims and charts the evolving postwar relationship between Roma and Jews over the course of nearly a century. During the Nazi era, Jews and Roma shared little in common besides their simultaneous persecution. Yet the decades of entwined struggles for recognition have deepened Romani-Jewish relations, which now center not only on commemorations of past genocides but also on contemporary debates about antiracism and Zionism.

Unforgettably moving and sweeping in scope, Rain of Ash is a revelatory account of the unequal yet necessary entanglement of Jewish and Romani quests for historical justice and self-representation that challenges us to radically rethink the way we remember the Holocaust.

Summary:

Bon Jovi. Bryan Adams. Presley West. My favorite men of music. Only one of them within reach.

The night before Presley West was due to leave our small town of Hollings Hill, all of my high school fantasies came to life. He finally wanted me. Eight years I'd spent pining, and now I, bartending Tessa Lisbon, was going to make damn sure I made that night count before the music industry stole him.

Never screw your idols. That's what they say, right? Well, I did, and I did it well. So well, I somehow managed to screw my own heart in the process.

He gave me one night to convince him to stay. In the end, I begged him to go.

Forever.

But that's the thing about rock stars: they do what they want, when they want, and forever didn't end up being as long as I expected.

Presley was back, and with his face, voice, and music now everywhere I turned, I officially had nowhere left to run.

Title: Spain: The Trials and Triumphs of a Modern European Country

Author: Michael Reid

Narrator: Asa Siegel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:03:50

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, Europe

Summary:

An incisive account of modern Spain, from the death of Franco to the Catalan referendum and beyond

Spain's transition to democracy after Franco's long dictatorship was widely hailed as a success, ushering in three decades of unprecedented progress and prosperity. Yet over the past decade its political consensus has been under severe strain. A stable two-party system has splintered, with disruptive new parties on the far left and far right. No government has had a majority since 2015.

Michael Reid overturns the stereotypical view of Spain as a country haunted by its Francoist past. From Catalan separatism and the indignados movement to the Spanish economy's overdependence on tourism and small business, Spain's challenges can often seem unique. But Reid is careful to emphasize the many pressures it faces in common with its European neighbors-such as austerity, populism, and increasing polarization. The result is a penetrating yet rounded portrait of a vibrant country-one that is more often visited than understood.
