About this listen
La vida es lo que usted hace de ella. Nadie puede nunca decir cómo en el mundo un joven chico de clase media e inocente se convirtió en uno de los criminales más buscados y de mala fama en el mundo. A veces, las circunstancias pueden cambiar a un ángel en un demonio y vice versa. Una persona es la única que puede decidir por su propia vida y del futuro que a él le encantaría tener pronto. El dinero es una de las cosas que puede hacer que una persona cambie en alguien que es muy distinto de él. Pablo Escobar es una de esas inocentes personas que se volvió la más destructiva del pasado debido a algunos cambios en su vida que tuvieron una gran influencia en él.
¿Quién dice que solo aquellas celebridades son las personas más influyentes y famosas en la tierra? Pablo Escobar es famoso no porque es una celebridad, sino porque fue uno de los narcotraficantes colombianos más infames y ricos que ha suministrado más del 80% de la cocaína que fue contrabandeada en los Estados Unidos. Pablo Escobar fue ampliamente conocido en el mundo como el "Rey de la Cocaína" y se convirtió en un gran nombre en la industria del mercado negro cuando él se volvió el criminal más rico que ha vivido alguna vez en la historia; con un patrimonio neto estimado de, alrededor de, 30 mil millones de dólares estadounidenses muy atrás, a comienzos de los 90. Aparte de eso, él tenía unos, aproximadamente, 50 mil millones de dólares estadounidenses cuando su dinero, que fue enterrado en varias partes de Colombia está incluido.
Este libro dice los comienzos y el ascenso brutal, así como la caída del criminal y Rey de la Cocaína Colombiano más peligroso del mundo, Pablo Escobar, cuyo imperio criminal y dominio de la injusticia retuvo una nación entera de más de 30 millones de rehenes. Su imperio criminal ha traído un reino de completo caos y terror que sólo terminaría con la muerte de Pablo Escobar.

Story
Cuando conoció a Pablo Escobar, con solo trece años, Victoria Eugenia Henao ignoraba que su vida estaba a punto de convertirse en una pesadilla terrible, y que jamás dejarían de señalarla con el dedo por ser la mujer con la que se casó y tuvo dos hijos el mayor narcotraficante de todos los tiempos.
Para este libro, y durante dos años, la viuda de Escobar se ha sumergido en su memoria y ha recordado cada uno de los horribles episodios que vivió con quien, a partir de 1982, asoló a Colombia con una estrategia de terror en la que cabían asesinatos de políticos, periodistas y defensores de derechos humanos, mientras seguía inundando el mundo de cocaína.
Nunca hasta ahora un testigo tan cercano de la vida de Escobar había examinado sus actuaciones en diversos frentes. ¿Cómo fue la guerra que lo enfrentó al cartel de Cali y al Estado colombiano? ¿Hasta qué punto se relacionó con los paramilitares? ¿Cómo vivió ella las continuas infidelidades de su marido? ¿De qué forma convirtió el arte en su vía de escape? ¿Cómo fueron los últimos años de Escobar, desde estuvo encerrado en La Catedral hasta su asesinato? Y sobre todo: ¿qué fue de su familia tras la muerte del narco?

El traidor es uno de los trabajos periodísticos más ambiciosos en la trayectoria de Anabel Hernández. Su historia se remonta a enero de 2011, cuando la contactó uno de los abogados de Vicente Zambada Niebla, mejor conocido como Vicentillo, quien enfrentaba un juicio en una corte de Chicago. La intención era compartir con la periodista documentos y hechos que ampliaban y esclarecían varios de los episodios que acababa de dar a conocer en Los señores del narco.

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.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer.

Story
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.
