Historia
At once a powerful evocation of his early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice to both the individual and the body politic, James Baldwin galvanized the nation in the early days of the civil rights movement with this eloquent manifesto. The Fire Next Time stands as one of the essential works of our literature.

Historia
Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject: the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.

Historia
Actor Mahershala Ali performs the gripping tale of an armed band of Confederate deserters and slaves living in a mixed-race community who rose up against the Confederate Cavalry in 1863 to form their own republic, free of slavery, in what is now the state of Mississippi. The community they formed - and the ambiguous racial identity of their descendants - confounded the rules of the segregated South well into the 20th century.

Where does The Free State of Jones rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the history category 5
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The intensity of fear of discovery that cause a family to tear itself off from one another
Any additional comments?
It is good to read that there were so many parts of the history of the south that it was not black and white (no pun intended), but many shades of grey that existed. Just like now it is only in what we believe in our minds no matter how irrational we see others. maybe reading learning about the struggles of others - we can finally learn - we are all the same

Historia
Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no, a bit to long to sit and listen to all at once - besides when listening to history one needs to take time to digest the ramifications of past acts on what happened after -

Historia
The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful but slowly going under - maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

Compassion
Revisado: 05-01-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I read this book as a required reading, now re-reading 40+ years latter I wish I had the insight to read and feel the pain. This book will teach if not understanding of the difficulties of having health issues of the unseeing kind at least it can teach compassions for those who suffer from these illness'.

Historia
Joan MacKimmie is on her way to Paris to take up her vocation as a nun. Yet her decision is less a matter of faith than fear, for Joan is plagued by mysterious voices that speak of the future, and by visions that mark those about to die. The sanctuary of the nunnery promises respite from these unwanted visitations...or so she prays. Her chaperone is Michael Murray, a young widower who, though he still mourns the death of his wife, finds himself powerfully drawn to his charge.
