Historia
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Historia
The tale of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become modern myth, an epic tragedy of the corruption of a young man in love into darkness, the rise of evil, and the power of good triumphing in the end. But it didn't start out that way. In this thorough account of one of cinema's most lasting works, Michael Kaminski presents the true history of how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science fiction fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we now know, chronicling the methods, techniques, thought processes, and struggles of its creator.

Brilliant research and audio performance!
Revisado: 12-20-23
This book has mountains of primary source material! I was so intrigued by the backstory of how George Lucas created the 6 Star Wars movies. It covers the inspirations like Flash Gordon and Hidden Fortress very thoroughly. It also goes deep into the production side. The narrator on this audiobook version is so talented! I hope he continues to perform audiobooks! I want to hear more by him! Lucasfilm should have him perform some of the Expanded Universe novels. He is able to perform so many voices of people like George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Mark Hamill, Irvin Kershner, and so many other behind the camera and front of the camera talent involved in bringing the movies to fruition. Well done! Right up there with Marc Thompson’s audio performance talent! I’m going to listen to the audiobook again.

Historia
Mystery and horror. Poe, who remains one of the most iconic of American writers, died under haunting circumstances that reflect the two literary genres he took to new heights. Over the years, there has been a staggering amount of speculation about the cause of death, from rabies and syphilis to suicide, alcoholism, and even murder. But many of these theories are formed on the basis of the caricature we have come to associate with Poe: the gloomy-eyed grandfather of Goth, hunched over a writing desk with a raven perched on one shoulder, drunkenly scribbling his chilling masterpieces.

Behind the daguerreotype
Revisado: 10-18-23
Did you know the actual complete works of Edgar Allan Poe fill multitudes of volumes? I found that fascinating. The usual complete works that we are used to are really just the most popular poems and gothic tales. Poe was far more than the brooding figure writing on a stormy night that we imagine him to be. This book tells the whole story of his life. I now look forward to visiting the Poe museum in Richmond. Wonderful narration by Grover Gardner.

Peter Noble is an excellent reader. I felt like I was actually hearing Orwell read his essays! I hope he will read more of Orwell’s works for audiobooks. Orwell understood history, current events, literature, human nature and it all comes across hear in these essays.

Essential children’s classic. Kids need literature like this. There is a whole different view of children’s literature as adults but often as profound because you see why it was important as a child.

Historia
Filled with the twists, pathos, and unusual characters that sprang from this novelist’s extraordinary imagination, The Mystery of Charles Dickens looks back from the legendary writer’s death to recall the key events in his life. In doing so, he seeks to understand Dickens’ creative genius and enduring popularity. Following his life from cradle to grave, it becomes clear that Dickens’ fiction drew from his life - a fact he acknowledged.

Thirty years ago, Tucker Carlson got his first job out of college fact-checking for a quarterly magazine, and he went on to write for many other publications before becoming the primetime Fox News host he is today. In The Long Slide, Tucker delivers a few of his favorite pieces - annotated with new commentary and insight - to memorialize the tolerance and diversity of thought that the media used to celebrate instead of punish.

Thus, Americans are rapidly becoming the least knowledgeable people in the industrial world.

Dated but relevant

Dated but still relevant on how news broadcasts are made and how one should analyze them. It seems to predict the rise of YouTube and independent news journalists with its reference to future one-man on the ground journalists as we have now where anyone can live stream.
