Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 70
In the 1950s, Oscar Hammerstein is asked to write the lyrics to a musical based on the life of a woman named Maria von Trapp. He’s intrigued to learn that she was once a novice who hoped to live quietly as an Austrian nun before her abbey sent her away to teach a widowed baron’s sickly child. What should have been a ten-month assignment, however, unexpectedly turned into a marriage proposal. And when the family was forced to flee their home to escape the Nazis, it was Maria who instructed them on how to survive using nothing but the power of their voices.

The mostly true and wild story that inspired the Sound of Music
Revisado: 04-18-25
Warning, it will burst some of your Sound of Music bubble. That said, what an excellent story telling. Some fantasy and truth to tell the correct story, warts and all. I loved the Sound of Music and wanted to know the back story. I thought this was Maria Vontraps autobiography, I didn't look close, At first I didn't think I was going to red this book, as i didn't care about a storyline that was weaved through, because I had hoped this was the autobiography. Then I fell in love with the side storyline characters. A few characters were that were based off of a composite of people who worked in Rogers & Hammerstein's office and Hammerstein's role in the true story. I've been thinking about this book a few days since finishing it and resold some true stories to my mom and dad, who really enjoyed hearing about "the true" story. In fact, some of the true story, is better than the movie. But the reasons they chose not to go there make sense. At the time of the play and movies release, WW2 was not a distant memory and people may not wish to watch with their scars still healing.

Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.

Chapter 25 seems to be corrupted and I can't listen to it. Everything up to that point pretty great.
