Historia
The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Well written and an enthralling story!
Revisado: 11-17-23
The author did a remarkable job of researching both the Boys, their coach, the shell maker and the times. The races were thrilling! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their story.
Edward Hermann did a nearly perfect job of narrating. If only he or one of the producers had taken the time to learn the correct pronunciation of our local locations, newspapers and rivers.
Except for that, I would definitely recommend this story.

Another winner in Doig’s Montana series

This is the 3rd book I’ve read in his telling of the McCaskills in the hills of Montana. Ivan knows how to draw the reader/listener in. He tells of Jick’s travels with his daughter, Mariah, and her ex, Riley, while weaving his and his family’s history into the story. Bringing the new reader into the background of these interesting characters. If you haven’t listened/read the next in this series, MOUNTAIN TIME, I recommend it. It tells the story of his daughters, Mariah and Lexa.

Historia
Nuri is a beekeeper and Afra, his wife, is an artist. Mornings, Nuri rises early to hear the call to prayer before driving to his hives in the countryside. On weekends, Afra sells her colorful landscape paintings at the open-air market. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the hills of the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens. When all they love is destroyed by war, Nuri knows they have no choice except to leave their home. But escaping Syria will be no easy task: Afra has lost her sight.

Wonderful story!

The Beekeeper of Aleppo brings the beauty of the bees and the horror of civil war to reality. The characters and descriptions of the places Nuri and Afra travel draw you into the story. Mr Malek’s narration is fantastic! Wonderful, horrific, sad, and humbling all at once.

Interesting story, hurried narration
Revisado: 08-02-22
I bought this Audiobook because I enjoy Tyrus on Gutfeld! and other Fox programs and wanted to know more about him. Although his childhood was less than inspiring, he was able to take positive attitudes and ethics from the various good role models he came in touch with in his life. He is open about his past and doesn’t come across as a victim, but as a survivor and intelligent human being.
Unfortunately, his narration was hurried and not always easy to follow. It sounded like doing the narration was a burden and he just wanted to get through it. I could hear him turning the pages. Tyrus, there are periods at the end of sentences for a reason.
Still enjoy you. Like the snazzy, new hats!

Historia
Working with the full cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials. While drawing liberally from the artist's famously eloquent letters, they have also delved into hundreds of unpublished family correspondences, illuminating with poignancy the wanderings of Van Gogh's troubled, restless soul. Naifeh and Smith bring a crucial understanding to the larger-than-life mythology of this great artist.

Fascinating biography and very good performance
Revisado: 07-13-22
It is obvious that the authors did substantial research for this book. They draw the listener or reader in with wonderful detail recounting of Van Gogh’s life and his work. They dispel myths surrounding his behavior as well as describe his mental torment in layman’s terms. I recommend it whether you are interested in art or mental health or history.

Historia
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
