A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

The true face of the other genocidal ideology.
Revisado: 02-22-20
Jordan Peterson was right in saying that "after the publication of The Gulag Archipelago it was not moral for anyone to still call himself a communist". Hard to believe you needed a book for that, but it did show the West what this ideology is truly capable of. "Intelectuals" in democratic, capitalist nations, like France and the US, wers discussing the superiority of socialism and communism, while benefitting from everything capitalism had to offer. Meanwhile, Eastern Europeans were rotting in political prisons, queueing for days to get food and trembling at every word they said, in fear of being arrested. This book is direct, vast and does not spare details. Yes, this really happened, as horrible as it was. Our civilization cannot take the next moral step, in the absence of a Nüremberg trial for communism.

Kit Harington (Games of Thrones) and Johnny Flynn (Beast) smolder and burn as sparring brothers in Sam Shepard’s darkly comic 1980 drama. The live theatre production of True West was performed at the Vaudeville Theatre in London, United Kingdom, in 2019. It was produced by Joseph Smith and John Brant for Smith & Brant Theatricals and James Bierman for Empire Street Productions.

By far the worst theater piece I've ever heard.
Revisado: 04-08-19
I don't know where to start. Horrific acting, simplistic script, listened to it for about 20 minutes, then I just had to stop. Sad I can't return this and choose another one of the free originals.

Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us sapiens? In this bold and provocative audiobook, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here, and where we're going.

Superficial and Biased
Revisado: 02-07-19
Gave up the book halfway. It begins well, but soon collapses into standard leftwing propaganda and biased claims. Would not recommend.

Who Owns the Future? is a visionary reckoning with the effects network technologies have had on our economy. Lanier asserts that the rise of digital networks led our economy into recession and decimated the middle class. Now, as technology flattens more and more industries - from media to medicine to manufacturing - we are facing even greater challenges to employment and personal wealth. But there is an alternative to allowing technology to own our future....

Good information, dry book.
Revisado: 12-08-18
Very good approach to the way our society has been changed by the information age. The book is very very dry though. You need patience to get through it all, even if it's only 12 hours long. If you do, it is worth it.
