Historia4 out of 5 stars 139
The war is over, yet Dr. Doll, a loner and "moderate pessimist", lives in constant fear. By night, he is still haunted by nightmarish images of the bombsite in which he is trapped - he, and the rest of Germany. More than anything, he wishes to vanquish the demon of collective guilt, but he is unable to right any wrongs, especially in his position as mayor of a small town in northeast Germany that has been occupied by the Red Army. Dr. Doll flees this place for Berlin, where he finds escape in a morphine addiction: each dose is a "small death."

Germany after the defeat
Revisado: 03-13-21
This book took us for 4 hours between dallas and Austin. We did not stop for lunch.
Fallada narrates his life after the war in this quasi-biography, as well the life of all Germans especially those that never recognize that they were Nazis either in the big towns or in the small villages
a critique of German society and the human condition, the same narrative repeats over and over again in Syria in the Balkan, in Vietnam.
I have previously read “we all die alone” but this one is great, but without showing the Nelum neighborhoods.
Narrator creates Great voices for each one of the characters really bring into life many of the characteristics that fallada describes.

For nearly four decades, David Sedaris has faithfully kept a diary in which he records his thoughts and observations on the odd and funny events he witnesses. Anyone who has attended a live Sedaris event knows that his diary readings are often among the most joyful parts of the evening. But never before have they been available in print. Now, in Theft by Finding, Sedaris brings us his favorite entries. From deeply poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these selections reveal with new intimacy a man longtime fans only think they know.

Great listening
Revisado: 08-20-17
The stories about America are great, early on we go around picking apples, doing construction work, getting high .
we understand that this life is terrible and it's only by chance that we are not death yet, the absurd is everywhere and the truth is always elusive, I did listen to the whole book in 1 week

History repeats itself
Revisado: 03-22-16
100 years ago the world super powers asked for jihad from the ottoman empire or the Arab peoples as the European royal families embarked in war. The treaties from that time have had lasting effects on preventing peace in the region. We learn about the ottomans prowess and the Armenian slaughter from first hand participants: the Armenian priest, the Venezuelan mercenary and many others.
Very good book overall with stories that coalesce into the biggest picture: the geopolitical elimination of the Ottoman Empire.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 141
In January 1952, two young men from Buenos Aires set out to explore South America on "La Poderosa", the Powerful One: a 500cc Norton. One of them was the 23-year-old Che Guevara. Written eight years before the Cuban Revolution, these are Che's diaries - full of disasters and discoveries, high drama, low comedy and laddish improvisations.
