The Second World War lasted for 2,174 days, cost $1.5 trillion, and claimed the lives of more than 50 million people. Why did the Axis lose? And could they, with a different strategy, have won? Andrew Roberts's acclaimed new history has been hailed as the finest single-volume account of this epic conflict. From the western front to North Africa, from the Baltic to the Far East, he tells the story of the war - the grand strategy and the individual experience, the cruelty and the heroism - as never before.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 10
This charming account of the voyage of two men in a small boat half way round the world from Plymouth to New Zealand in 1953 is a rare insight into a time, not long ago, when sailors had no GPS, electronics, radio or any of the mod cons that we take for granted today. Without lifejacket or a life raft, they 'just took what came along', hand steering all the way, navigating by sextant, hand-cranking their engine and using oil lamps for light at night and for navigation. Sailors will be staggered how primitive conditions were only a few decades ago, even though it was the norm at the time.

Audible Books has enriched my life with many fine works. Just Sea and Sky is one of the finest! Ben Pester and Dick Durham earned my highest admiration! 5 Stars is not enough

Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest.

Jeremy Irons brings the Alchemist to life.
Revisado: 04-23-12
Would you consider the audio edition of The Alchemist to be better than the print version?
A great performance by a trained actor brings the characters of this book a vitality I do not find reading the printer words my self.
Would you be willing to try another book from Paulo Coelho? Why or why not?
Paulo Coelho created a unique story when he wrote "The Alchemist". I have no plans to seek more of his literature.
Which scene was your favorite?
I particularly enjoy the scene in which the boy first meets the King who gives him new insights into the nature of the world and the fact that most people choose the safe path. Thus, living less than full lives.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I never want to listen to an entire book in one sitting. I enjoy savoring the richness of language that some authors give to their readers. I sometime will listen to a section several times because I enjoy the music of the language. This was true of The Alchemist as read by Jeremy Irons.
Any additional comments?
Thank you
James Fournell
