Extremely moving
Revisado: 05-24-24
A very moving human document of the Second World War and the Holocaust. Grossman was the chronicler of the bravest who opposed the Nazis and the barbarisms who exterminated an entire people. This a recording that every should hear.

Historia
Sofia Ali-Khan’s parents emigrated from Pakistan to America, believing it would be a good country. With a nerdy interest in American folk history and a devotion to the rule of law, Ali-Khan would pursue a career in social justice, serving some of America’s most vulnerable communities. By the time she had children of her own—having lived, worked, and worshipped in twelve different towns across the nation—Ali-Khan felt deeply American, maybe even a little extra American for having seen so much of the country.

Required Reading
Revisado: 07-05-22
Written in searing prose, Sofia Ali-Khan has provided what is destined to become the standard reference for the Muslim American experience in America. Detailing her own experiences growing up in the US and those of her family members, she powerfully describes the plight of a community, besieged by anti-Muslim hatred, prejudice and even violence. This is a side of the American dream few have dared recount and one that deserves careful reading by all those concerned about racism and exclusion in this country.
The narrator Kelsey Jaffer provides a sensitive and moving interpretation of the work.

Historia
Algernon est une souris de laboratoire dont le traitement du Pr. Nemur et du Dr. Strauss vient de décupler l'intelligence. Enhardis par cette réussite, les deux savants tentent alors, avec l'assistance de la psychologue Alice Kinnian, d'appliquer leur découverte à Charlie Gordon, un simple d'esprit. C'est bientôt l'extraordinaire éveil de l'intelligence pour le jeune homme. Il découvre un monde dont il avait toujours été exclu, et entame une incroyable métamorphose. Mais un jour les facultés supérieures d'Algernon déclinent.

This is the French version of Flowers for Algernon. The narrator is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this to French speakers and those learning French

Historia
Y a-t-il des êtres humains ailleurs que dans notre galaxie ? C'est la question que se posent les passagers d'un vaisseau spatial survolant une planète proche de Bételgeuse : on y aperçoit des villes, des routes curieusement semblables à celles de notre Terre. Après s'y être posés, les trois hommes découvrent que la planète est habitée par des singes. Ceux-ci vont les capturer et se livrer sur eux à des expériences. Il faudra, devant les singes, faire la preuve de son humanité.

Magnificent production! Pierre Boulle was a great writer. This novel and the Bridge on the River Kwai were his two masterpieces. The plot is incredible, the narration superb! Highly recommended.

Historia
The tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life. Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: “I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.” Yet under the searing heat of the Egyptian sun, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Painful narration
Revisado: 02-09-22
I love Agatha Christie, and I have great admiration for Kenneth Branagh— but this recording was painful to listen to. Branagh’s interpretation of the female voice, particularly that of the central female character, Linnet Ridgeway, was absolutely atrocious. For a better listening experience, I would stick with the fabulous performance by David Suchet.

One of the very best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to
Revisado: 06-15-21
This book is nothing less than a masterpiece, and the reader was phenomenal. There is some extreme violence which I found a little hard to take, but as a whole, the book is an amazing novel about insanity, about justice, war and illusion.

This moving novel comes to life through the voice of this acclaimed actress. I cannot imagine anyone else -- French or English -- interpreting the text with such depth of feeling as Marie-Christine Barrault.

Historia
Le 19 mars 1944, Albert Camus et Maria Casarès se croisent chez Michel Leiris. L'ancienne élève du Conservatoire, originaire de La Corogne et fille d'un républicain espagnol en exil, n'a que vingt et un ans. L'écrivain vit alors seul à Paris, la guerre l'ayant tenu éloigné de son épouse Francine, enseignante à Oran. Sensible au talent de l'actrice, Albert Camus lui confie le rôle de Martha pour la création du Malentendu en juin 1944. Et durant la nuit du Débarquement, Albert Camus et Maria Casarès deviennent amants.

These letters by Albert Camus and Maria Casares are a real gem. Written from the heart and soul, they capture the beauty, joy, and tenderness of love.
