Título: El talmud de Viena [The Talmud of Vienna]
Autor: Gonzalo Hernández Guarch
Narrador: Raul Gutierrez
Formato: Unabridged
Duración: 32 hrs and 36 mins

Resumen:
Una novela que nos sumerge en la historia de la Europa Central del siglo XX, la ciudad de Viena y el largo peregrinaje del pueblo judío a través de una saga familiar en pos de un sueño: alcanzar la Tierra Prometida.
Esther, hija de una familia de orígenes judíos, nace el mismo día en que se firma el Tratado de Versalles, que pone fin a la devastadora Primera Guerra Mundial. Su padre, el doctor Paul Dukas, obsesionado con su ascenso personal y profesional, y convertido al cristianismo, descubrirá muy pronto que el pasado judío de un hombre no se perdona fácilmente.
La historia de Esther, así como la de los Goldman - portadores del Talmud de Viena - o la de los mellizos Gessner - que ven en el auge del partido nazi un instrumento idóneo para medrar - , es el hilo conductor de esta apasionante novela que muestra los avatares del pueblo judío en un período crucial del siglo XX: desde la promesa, finalmente frustrada, de los felices años veinte, al ascenso al poder de Adolf Hitler y el posterior conflicto que asoló Europa. Una etapa de continuos cambios políticos y sociales durante la cual los protagonistas de esta épica y al mismo tiempo intimista saga familiar aman, odian, ríen, lloran... y mueren, todo ello en pos de un sueño perenne: el de alcanzar Eretz Israel, la mítica tierra prometida.
G.H. Guarch, el celebrado autor de títulos tan exitosos como El testamento armenio y Shalom Sefarad, brinda al oyente un imponente fresco coral en el que se dan cita las pasiones más intensas con el telón de fondo de una era convulsa y dramática, y en cuya trama comparecen numerosos personajes reales, como Sigmund Freud o el propio Führer nazi. Unos y otros se erigen en símbolos de un periodo histórico que, como un espejo roto, nos permite vislumbrar quiénes fuimos - y somos - realmente.

Resumen:
"Si El tiempo entre costuras descubrió el Protectorado Español de Marruecos, El fuego del flamboyán evoca magistralmente, a través de una fascinante saga familiar, el contraste entre las vidas de la Galicia profunda y su próspera emigración a la sensual Cuba de la primera mitad del siglo xx."
En la Galicia rural y convulsa de la dictadura del general Primo de Rivera, un puñado de personajes tratan de vivir según sus propias convicciones en los días previos al advenimiento de la República. Pero llegado el momento, las circunstancias les obligarán a dejar España con destino a Cuba; los unos porque les persiguen las izquierdas, los otros porque desean darles caza las derechas. La exultante y próspera Habana de entonces supondrá un abierto contraste con la fría tierra de la que proceden. La isla es luz, sensualidad, modernidad, fortuna, ritmo, y abundancia. El árbol del fuego será testigo de que la mezcla de razas y el tórrido ambiente gobiernan los sentidos.
Antonio, abogado liberal y culto, esconde un secreto guardado bajo llave durante años que, de revelarse, supondría un escándalo para la aristocracia de los años treinta. El atractivo y seductor Tino regresa a Galicia para casarse; la vida provinciana choca con su espíritu libre y combativo. Junto a ellos, cuatro mujeres excepcionales: Elisa, que conforme va cumpliendo años cobrará paulatina conciencia de su fortaleza interior; Elvira, la viva esencia de la mujer de antaño, recia, trabajadora, comprometida, capaz de matar por amor; Nélida es la sensualidad cubana, el exotismo más carnal; y Casilda encarna la rebeldía, la ruptura de moldes y ataduras sociales.
Crónica de la emigración gallega a Cuba durante la Segunda República, en El fuego del flamboyán, la pasión, el abandon, y el maltrato están presentes. Pero el honor, los valores, y la lealtad son la esencia de esta novela coral escrita a partir de hechos reales y basada en los testimonios de numerosos hombres y mujeres, unos famosos y otros desconocidos, que vivieron una de las épocas más emocionantes y traumáticas de nuestra historia reciente.

Summary:
Growing up in 1930s Brooklyn, Florence Fein will do anything to escape the confining values of her family and her city, and create a life of meaning and consequence. When a new job and a love affair lead her to Moscow, she doesn't think twice about abandoning America - only to discover, years later, that America has abandoned her.
Now, as her son Julian travels back to Moscow - entrusted to stitch together a murky transcontinental oil deal - he must dig into Florence's past to discover who his mother really was and what she became. He must also persuade his own son, Lenny, to abandon his risky quest for prosperity in the cutthroat Russian marketplace.
As he traces a thread from Depression-era America, through the collective housing and work camps of Stalin's USSR, to the glittering, oil-rich world of New Russia, Julian finally begins to understand the role he has played - as a father and as a son.
Epic in sweep and intimate in detail, The Patriots is both a compelling portrait of the entangled relationship between America and Russia and a beautifully crafted story of three generations of one family caught between the forces of history and the consequences of past choices.

Summary:
In the South Carolina Hills, along the Savannah River Watershed, in the fall of 1829, 14-year-old, three-quarter Cherokee Sahani, whose Christian name is Charity, sets out on a journey with her 83-year-old maternal white grandfather to Fort Charlotte for what she thinks is a trip to trade the pelts he has accumulated in order to replenish their supplies. However, Charity soon discovers that her grandfather's objective in making this trip is to get her married off and settled somewhere.
Since her beloved grandmother's passing several months earlier, her grandfather has worried about what would become of Charity should he, too, pass away. And, given his advanced age, he somehow senses that time is near; he does not want to die and leave young Charity alone and desolate. He and his wife reared Charity after her mother and father both died in a yellow fever epidemic when she was three years old.
As they travel to Fort Charlotte, her grandfather tells her that before going to Fort Charlotte they will be making an overnight stop at his friend's house. And, that a year or so earlier, he and his long-time friend, Eli Gulledge, talked about what would happen to Charity should both he and his wife pass away and have arranged for Charity and Eli's son Henry to meet before that time comes to see if they will take a liking to one another.
When Charity, who has never met Eli or his family, hears that, she threatens to act rude in order to make them not like her so that she can go back home with him, but her grandfather tells her that she cannot go back home with him and assures her that if young Henry doesn't take a liking to her, he is sure that some young buck down in Fort Charlotte will be looking for a wife.
Faced with the stark realization that her life is changing and she has no control of that change, many thoughts run through young Charity's mind - she even contemplates running away, but doesn't want to leave her grandfather alone.
When her grandfather suddenly passes away that night at Eli's house, that threat never comes to fruition. Young Charity is forced to abide by her grandfather's wishes and stay there with Eli's family....
Contains mature themes.

Author: John Biggins
Narrator: Nigel Patterson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 13 hrs and 51 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-04-18
Publisher: McBooks Press, Inc.
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
Early in the year 1912, the recently-promoted Lieutenant Ottokar Prohaska finds himself stuck as a gunnery officer aboard a battleship mostly moored in harbor. He answers a War Ministry advertisement for training as a naval air pilot, but he soon finds himself appointed aide-de-camp for aviation to the appalling, boorish, near-insane Austro-Hungarian heir-apparent: the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After breaking a leg in a flying accident, Prohaska is relieved of his duties, and upon his recovery, he is posted to a river gunboat on the Danube. After an ill-considered liaison with a Polish opera singer, he flees her vengeful husband into Serbian territory. There, a case of mistaken identity enmeshes him in a Serbian anarchist plot to kill the Austro-Hungarian chief of staff with a small diversionary operation in the town of Sarajevo - the assassination of the Archduke.
His warnings of the assassination plot are mysteriously disregarded by Austrian officials, and Prohaska is whisked off to Shanghai aboard an Austrian liner, where he arrives just in time for the outbreak of World War One. Plenty more outlandish adventures await him: an insider's view of the Japanese siege of a German colony, an escape aboard a Chinese junk, and instruction in the art of flat-earth marine navigation. Finally, Prohaska must come to grips with the decision, by a not-very-bright commandant of a Turkish fort in the Arabian desert, that he should be hanged as a spy.
With irony, wit, historical accuracy, and telling detail, Biggins brings alive a time and place that spawned two World Wars, the Cold War, and the Balkan wars of the late 20th century.

Summary:
Sam Houston is a living legend in 1861. The hero of the Battle of San Jacinto, he had defeated Santa Anna to win independence for Texas back in 1836. He had twice served as president of the Republic of Texas, helped Texas join the Union, and served as senator and governor of Texas. Before settling in Texas, he had been a hero of the Creek War and governor of Tennessee. He had been friends with Andrew Jackson and Davy Crockett and had been adopted into the Cherokee tribe, whose rights he had often defended and who had named him the Raven.
Yet now, approaching 70 years of hard living, he finds everything he has fought for being torn asunder. Texas is joining the Confederacy, and Houston, a Unionist who has been cast out as governor, quickly loses power, prestige, and friends. He could hide in retirement, but such is not the way of a warrior. The Raven prepares for his most important fight yet. He knows this battle will test his endurance and faith. He knows he will need his wife, Margaret, to save him from his own worst enemy - himself. And he knows this war, which will pit brother against brother, will also try to divide Houston's family. What he doesn't know yet is that he will find help from long-dead friends and enemies to help him sort out his life and restore his honor.
Johnny D. Boggs, among the most honored Western writers of the 21st century, brings one of Texas' greatest heroes to life, warts and all, in a character study and love story of a man fighting for his country and legacy - but mostly for his family.

Title: Quo Vadis
Author: Henryk Sienkiewicz
Narrator: James Winston
Format: Unabridged
Length: 20 hrs and 45 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-26-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
"Quo Vadis" is a historical novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz. It tells of a love between a young Christian woman and a Roman patrician in Rome, under the rule of emperor Nero, c. AD 64. The main characters is Marcus Vinicius, a military tribune and Roman patrician who recently returned to Rome. On his arrival, he meets and falls in love with Ligia. He seeks the counsel of his uncle Petronius to find a way to possess her.

Ligia, the daughter of a deceased king of a barbarian tribe, is technically a hostage of the Senate and people of Rome, and was forgotten years ago by her own people. A great beauty, she has converted to Christianity, but her religion is originally unknown to Marcus.

Gaius Petronius, former governor of Bithynia, is a member of Nero's court who uses his wit to flatter and mock him at the same time. Somewhat amoral and a bit lazy, he tries to help his nephew, but his cunning plan is thwarted by Ligia's Christian friends. Nero and the apostles Peter and Paul also appear.

Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) was a Polish journalist, novelist and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature. He is best remembered for his internationally known best-seller "Quo Vadis".

Length: 9 hrs and 11 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-22-17
Publisher: Hudson Montgomery Dutton
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
Ennis Middlebrooks and Harry Byerly are warriors, and the time for fighting is past. Theyre cowboys, and when they get back home to Texas, the time for cowboys is passing, too.
Monte Duttons fifth novel, Cowboys Come Home, begins on the island of Peleliu, where the two privates somehow manage to save themselves when cut off from their fellow Marines by the Japanese. Ennis and Harry come home to a heroes' welcome, but life gets complicated after that.
The Middlebrooks ranch, east of Janus, near the Oklahoma border, is run-down, and Ennis's father is dying. Harry moves in, Mama Middlebrooks moves out, and Ennis takes a job as a deputy sheriff under a wise but aging lawman, Judson Lawson. His little sister, Becky, is wild beyond her years and takes an immediate shine to Harry, who is haunted by the war and prone to violence.
The closing of an Army base, Camp Ammons, is causing the town to die. The county loses nearly 40,000 infantry trainees and gains nearly 60,000 acres. The ranchers it displaced are either long gone or too poor to purchase their land back. Men with political clout and money move in like vultures. Money buys influence and, with it, elections. Ennis Middlebrooks goes from sheriff-in-waiting to disgraced lawman. He and his old Marine pal, Harry Byerly, decide to do something about it.

Resumen:
En esta novela que es considerada, creo que con razón, como una de las más importantes del siglo XX, el autor nos cuenta como una experiencia vivida, la historia de Larry Darrel. Joven americano nacido en una familia bien situada en Chicago. Cuando Larry vuelve de la guerra, no encuentra sentido a la vida que le espera, y que todo el mundo cree que aceptará encantado: casarse con Isabel, una joven de familia bien de Chicago para anquilosarse en un trabajo que no le interesa, pero que sin duda perpetuaría esa clase de vida de la alta sociedad, tan vacía de valores a la que todo el mundo piensa, que cualquiera debería estar contento de pertenecer.Como el autor dice, Larry es un hombre profundamente religioso, pero que no cree en Dios. Larry decide viajar antes de tomar ninguna decisión. Primero a París durante un tiempo, para terminar en la India donde realmente va a culminar su búsqueda interior. Allí conocerá a un sabio que le ayudará a encontrarle sentido a la vida y la felicidad y en definitiva, encontrarse a si mismo.

Summary:
Historical action adventure in the style of Bernard Cornwell and Rosemary Sutcliffe, the Leader of Battles series breathes new life into Arthurian legend....
"My father was a warrior. He bade me fight..."
Britain, AD 427. Rome has abandoned the province, leaving it exposed to waves of barbarian invasions. To the west, savage pirates from Hibernia ravage the coastline. In the North, the crumbling defenses of the Wall cannot contain marauding bands of Picts as they sweep down from the highlands. Worst of all are the Saxons, the dreaded sea-wolves. Under their chiefs, Hengist and Horsa, they wish to drive out the native Britons and claim the entire island for their own.
Attacked from all sides, the Britons find a champion in the form of Ambrosius Aurelianus, the last of the Romans. A modest man, riddled with doubts and fears, Ambrosius reluctantly takes on the mantle of Dux Bellorum, Leader of Battles. Placed in command of Britain's only standing army, he fights to preserve the dwindling light of civilization while the treacherous High King, Vortigern, plots his destruction.
Set before the coming of Arthur, the first book of the Leader of Battles trilogy charts the rise and fall of post-Roman Britain's first great hero, and his desperate struggle to hold back the shadows threatening to engulf his country.

Narrator: Alex Lee
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-19-17
Publisher: M J Porter
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
Before Anne Boleyn stole the heart of a king and demanded marriage, another woman strove to wed an already-married King of England. This is the story of Elfrida, who would become the first crowned Queen of England.
England is united under Edgar, but 20 years of uncertainty and a dwindling royal nursery have left the royal family vulnerable to extinction. Edgar, a king at only 15 years old, has an acknowledged daughter and wife, but the dying Ealdorman, Aethelwald, has commanded his wife to seek out the King, now in his early 20s.
True to her husband's wishes, Elfrida pursues the king, nervous of her husband's intentions, but trusting them all the same. When the king tries to make her his concubine, Elfrida refuses and withdraws from the court, only to find herself dreaming of the king, desiring his touch and his presence.
When the king seeks her out once more, she willingly follows him back to his court and finds herself plunged into a world of politics and self-interest where her future happiness rests not only on the king loving her but also on the goodwill of others with much to play for at the king's court.
Bringing alive the characters of 10th-century England: its young king, Edgar; its ealdormen, Brythnoth, thelwine, and Úlfhere; the great reforming religious figures of Archbishop Dunstan, Bishop thelwold and Oswald and the great women of the period, Lady Elfrida, Lady thelflaed and Lady Wulfthryn, The First Queen of England evokes 10th-century England at its most enigmatic, shining a welcome light on England's first crowned queen, a woman who would go on to accomplish much, but who must first steal the heart of an amorous king and earn her place at court, and overcome the obstacle of the outcome of not only the king's second marriage, but also his first.

Title: Graced 1943
Author: Courtney Williamson Milford
Narrator: Roberto Scarlato
Format: Unabridged
Length: 13 hrs and 4 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-19-17
Publisher: Courtney Williamson Milford
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
Set against a backdrop of World War II, the Grace family and friends live in and operate out of Gracestone, a Miami Beach luxury estate. Most of them are "Graced", meaning they have special powers: Navigators can get anywhere without a map and are never lost; Incapacitators are never bested in a fight and can turn any item into a weapon; Knowers can learn all there is to know about any topic just by concentrating on it for a few moments. There is no finite number of Graces, and a person can be Graced in more than one way.
In Graced 1943, the first book in The Grace Family Chronicles, the characters are focused on protecting the children of Gracestone. Kidnapping is always an issue, mainly because its patriarch, Henri Grace, is a Midasian Multiplyer, meaning he can multiply wealth, and he has passed this rare Grace onto one of his grandsons. Greedy people and even the US government target Midasian Multiplyers, hoping to exploit their ability to make money.
Like most Americans in the mid-1940s, the Grace family and friends are enmeshed in World War II, and the action moves to the atomic weaponry lab in Los Alamos, NM, and to Europe and South America, and then back again to Gracestone for Henri's wife's ill-advised Christmas Ball in December of 1943. Be warned: The ending is a cliffhanger, and it leads into the second book in the series, The Atherlings 1944.
This series has the feel of an old-fashioned radio soap opera crossed with a comic book and a war drama. The cast is large, and their lives intermingle, sometimes in surprising ways. Graced 1943 is for anyone who enjoys actions tinged with humor in a setting that features real history and larger than life characters.

Idioma: Español
Fecha de publicación: 12-14-17
Editor: Editorial Planeta
Categorías: Fiction, Historical

Resumen:
En esta novela, Lorenzo Silva narra en primera persona cómo descubrió uno de los momentos más heroicos y trágicos de la historia española, sorprendentemente olvidado por casi todos. Un suceso clave marcado por el antagonismo entre dos hombres. La historia de la sublevación militar en Barcelona el 19 de julio de 1936, del desafío del general Goded a la legalidad republicana y de la decisión del general Aranguren, el máximo responsable de la Guardia Civil, que optó por defender la democracia.
La negativa de Aranguren a colaborar con el alzamiento y su fi delidad a la República forman parte de nuestra historia, pero de una parte muy poco contada. Y el hecho de que este sea uno de nuestros episodios más desconocidos e incómodos lo convierte en uno de los mejores relatos que puede darnos la literatura sobre la guerra civil.
Esta es la historia de un héroe olvidado. Un hombre que fue capaz de anteponer la lealtad y su sentido del deber a las órdenes de quienes acabarían haciéndose con el poder.

Après un long voyage épique à travers l'Europe, Ayla et Jondalar arrivent à l'emplacement de la Neuvième Caverne, un camp de l'âge de pierre situé dans ce qu'on appellera bien plus tard le Périgord. C'est là que Jondalar retrouve la tribu qui l'a vu naître, et qui se réjouit de son retour.

L'accueil fait à Ayla est plus mitigé. Cette femme parle avec un accent curieux et, surtout, elle est suivie par un loup et deux chevaux sur lesquels elle exerce un pouvoir troublant. Mais, si la jeune femme étonne les Zelandonii, ceux-ci la surprennent tout autant par leur façon de vivre dans leurs confortables abris-sous-roche et par la splendeur des peintures dont ils ornent leurs grottes. Plongée dans cet univers étranger, Ayla parviendra-t-elle à gagner la confiance des membres de la tribu de Jondalar ?

Riepilogo:
Barcellona, XIV secolo. Nel cuore dell'umile quartiere della Ribera gli occhi curiosi del piccolo Arnau sono catturati dalle maestose mura di una grande chiesa in costruzione. Un incontro decisivo, poiché la storia di Santa Maria del Mar sarà il cardine delle tormentate vicende della sua esistenza.

Figlio di un servo fuggiasco, nella capitale catalana Arnau trova rifugio e quella sospirata libertà che a tutt'oggi incarna lo spirito di Barcellona, all'epoca in pieno fermento: i vecchi istituti feudali sono al tramonto, mentre mercanti e banchieri sono in ascesa, sempre più influenti nel determinare le sorti della città, impegnata in aspre battaglie per il controllo dei mari. Intanto l'azione dell'Inquisizione minaccia la non facile convivenza fra cristiani, musulmani ed ebrei...

Personaggio di inusuale tempra e umanità, Arnau non esita a dedicarsi con entusiasmo al grande progetto della "cattedrale del popolo". E all'ombra di quelle torri gotiche dovrà lottare contro fame, ingiustizie e tradimenti, ataviche barriere religiose, guerre, peste, commerci ignobili e indomabili passioni, ma soprattutto per un amore che i pregiudizi del tempo vorrebbero condannare alle brume del sogno...

Un'opera in cui avventura e sentimento si uniscono al romanzo di una città, protagonista anch'essa di una straordinaria vicenda corale, restituita nella drammaticità dei suoi momenti cruciali così come nella sua vivacissima quotidianità, in un'ambientazione capace di ricreare, con limpidezza superiore alla penna di uno storico, luci e ombre di un Medioevo di ineguagliabile fascino.

Summary:
The Macedonian is based on the early life of Philip II, King of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great and perhaps the greatest military genius of the ancient world. Born a minor prince of the royal house, he survives the intrigues of a family in which treachery and murder are almost a tradition. A brilliant commander while still in his teens, he becomes king when his brother, King Perdikkas, and half the Macedonian army are massacred and his country is on the brink of ruin. As wily in diplomacy as in war, he manages to stave off Macedonia' s lesser enemies while he prepares for the final struggle with the bandit empire that would overwhelm her. Yet Philip was also a man who loved and suffered. His mother hated him from the moment of his birth, and he was raised by foster parents who taught him to see the truth of life as most people experience it. Shuttled about as a diplomatic hostage, the learned politics and war. In the end, after losing almost his whole family, he finds happiness with the daughter of his bitterest enemy.

Resumen:
Una historia a veces desgarradora, inspiradora, apasionadamente romántica y con desenfrenado humor, La Reina Norteamericana es un relato sobre una joven que alcanza su mayoría de edad y tiene que encontrar su lugar en un mundo nuevo. Comenzando donde se quedó el bestseller de Luis Alberto Urrea The Hummingbird's Daughter, ahora en La Reina Norteamericana nos vuele a reunir, en Arizona en 1982, con la joven Teresita Urrea, amada curandera y "Santa de Cabora", y su padre. Asediada por lo colonos quienes necesitan desesperadamente de sus poderes curativos, y perseguida por asesinos, ella tiene más opción que escapar hacia las tierras fronterizas y embarcar en un extraordinario viaje hacia el corazón de la Norteamérica de fin de siglo.
Esta aventura de Teresita la lleva desde Nueva York a San Francisco, pasando por St. Louis, donde conoce realeza europea, poetas cubanos, reinas de belleza, inmigrantes ansiosos y poderosos magnates, entre los cuales se encuentra un hombre que la obligará a finalmente formularse la pregunta más importante de su vida: ¿se le permite a una santa enamorarse?

Title: Beyond Fort Mims
Author: Lauran Paine
Narrator: Jack Garrett
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 26 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-01-17
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
The massacre at Fort Mims is what spurred young Davy Crockett to leave his family and become a volunteer scout in the military campaign between American militias and the Creek Indians. It was while serving in this capacity that Crockett earned his reputation as a first-rate scout, which added to his already established reputation as a crack shot.
Like many volunteers serving in militias, Crockett also had to concern himself with protecting his wife, his children, and his land from roaming Indian war parties and gangs of frontier renegades who used the distraction of wars to attack and pillage those left behind.
It was in these skirmishes that Davy Crockett distinguished himself. It was a chaotic and dangerous time on the frontier, and Davy Crockett and his family seemed to have a ringside seat in the midst of the action.

Titre: Underground Railroad
Auteur: Colson Whitehead

Langue: Français

Éditeur: Audiolib
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Résumé:
Cora, seize ans, est esclave sur une plantation de coton dans la Géorgie d'avant la guerre de Sécession. Abandonnée par sa mère lorsqu'elle était enfant, elle survit tant bien que mal à la violence de sa condition. Lorsque Caesar, un esclave récemment arrivé de Virginie, lui propose de s'enfuir, elle accepte et tente, au péril de sa vie, de gagner avec lui les États libres du Nord. De la Caroline du Sud à l'Indiana en passant par le Tennessee, Cora va vivre une incroyable odyssée. Traquée comme une bête par un impitoyable chasseur d'esclaves qui l'oblige à fuir, sans cesse, elle fera tout pour conquérir sa liberté.

L'une des prouesses de Colson Whitehead est de matérialiser l' "Underground Railroad", le célèbre réseau clandestin d'aide aux esclaves en fuite qui devient ici une véritable voie ferrée souterraine, pour explorer, avec une originalité et une maîtrise époustouflantes, les fondements et la mécanique du racisme.

À la fois récit d'un combat poignant et réflexion saisissante sur la lecture de l'Histoire, ce roman est une œuvre politique aujourd'hui plus que jamais nécessaire.

Zusammenfassung:
Im Jahr 1546 ruft Sultan Süleyman der Prächtige alle Könige Europas auf, an einem nie dagewesenen Wettstreit teilzunehmen: In einem großen Turnier soll der beste Schachspieler der Welt gefunden werden... Unter den Tausenden Reisenden, die in Konstantinopel eintreffen, reihen sich auch der Gelehrte Roger Ascham und seine Schülerin Elisabeth ein, Tochter von Heinrich VIII.

Bald überschlagen sich die Ereignisse: Schon vor Beginn des Turniers wird ein christlicher Kardinal ermordet und grässlich verstümmelt. Es folgen weitere barbarische Todesfälle. Elisabeth und Ascham erkennen bald, dass sie selbst die eigentlichen Figuren in einem verderbten Spiel sind, in dem es ums nackte Überleben geht...

Ein historischer Action-Thriller, der an "Der Name der Rose" und die Abenteuer von Sherlock Holmes erinnert.

Summary:
Glass Ferry, Kentucky, is bourbon country. Whiskey has been a way of life for generations, enabling families to provide and survive even in the darkest times. Flannery Butler's daddy, Beauregard "Honey Bee" Butler, was known for making some of the best whiskey in the state, aged in barrels he'd take by boat up and down the Kentucky River until the rocking waters turned the spirits smooth and golden. Flannery is the only person Honey Bee ever entrusted with his recipes before he passed on, swearing her to secrecy as he did so.
But Flannery is harboring other secrets too, about her twin sister Patsy, older by eight minutes and pretty in a way Flannery knows she'll never be. Then comes the prom night when Patsy - wearing a yellow chiffon dress and the family pearls - disappears along with her date. Every succeeding year on the twins' birthday, Flannery's mother bakes a strawberry cake, convinced that this is the day Patsy will finally come home.
But it will be two tumultuous decades until the muddy river yields a clue about what happened that night, compelling Flannery to confront the truth about her sleepy town, her family's past, and the choices she and those closest to her have made in the name of love and retribution.

"Two people, one city, different times; connected by a memoir. Can love exist in a city destined for decades of misery?"
Adnan leads a weary existence as a bookshop owner in modern-day, war-torn Baghdad, where bombings, corruption, and assault are everyday occurrences and the struggle to survive has suffocated the joy out of life for most. But when he begins to clean out his bookshop of 40 years to leave his city in search of somewhere safer, he comes across the story of Ali, the Gardener of Baghdad. Adnan rediscovers through a memoir handwritten by the gardener decades ago that beauty, love, and hope can still exist, even in the darkest corners of the world.
