These are the true life tales of adventure and travel throughout Central America by John L. Stephens who employed Frederick Catherwood to create artistic renderings of their discoveries. First published in 1858, the world was amazed and intrigued by their travels.

poorly produced, entire chapter missing
Revisado: 08-15-24
The original work is worth reading. The reader is competent. My complaints are with the sloppy production.
The reader makes some minor pronunciation errors, such as saying "affection" when he means "affliction". If he's not a Spanish speaker, I don't expect him to get person or place names right, or Spanish phrases.
What's not so easy to excuse is the sloppy production. The original work has 19 chapters, with chapter breaks in logical places. This audio recording has 11 chapters, with chapter breaks sometimes in the middle of a paragraph. The reader sometimes reads sentences and whole paragraphs twice, and, in other places, skips sentences, paragraphs, and entire chapters. He skips from the end of chapter 13, in Guatemala, to the middle of chapter 15, in El Salvador. He leaves out chapter 14 entirely, leaving the listener confused about how the other got from Guatemala to El Salvador.

Before it was a religion, a culture, or even a system of meditation, what was Buddhism? On Buddhism Without Beliefs, celebrated teacher, translator, and former Buddhist monk Stephen Batchelor takes us back to the first years after the Buddha's awakening to reveal the root insights of Buddhism hidden beneath centuries of history and interpretation.

Deceptive
Revisado: 06-13-22
The text of the audio book is completely different from the text of the print book by the same title. If you're going to market different material, give it a different title.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Where is the epilogue by Alex Haley?
Revisado: 11-19-20
Very good reading by Laurence Fishburne, an actor whom I have always liked. l first read this work in the 1980s, when I was in my 20s. Reading it now, at age 56, is a different experience, of course. My only complaint about this production is that it does not include an introduction, the 74-page epilogue by Alex Haley, the beautiful eulogy by Ossie Davis, or any of the other supporting works that most print editions include.

"This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial. Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's 'Note-books.'"

Very Poor Quality Recording
Revisado: 02-02-19
As the headline says, quality of recording is very poor. Sound fades in and out, 20% to 30% of the words being unintelligible. Why waste your time and our offering this defective recording for download. I will be requesting a refund.
