    Dancing into My Bolshoi Dream: A Vision That Turns into Reality Audiobook by Anna Duvall

Title: Dancing into My Bolshoi Dream: A Vision That Turns into Reality Subtitle: Ballet Butterfly, Book 1 Author: Anna Duvall Narrator: Anna Duvall Format: Unabridged Length: 51 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-17 Publisher: BalletButterfly.com Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: The true story of a 15-year-old girl who goes to Moscow to study ballet at the Bolshoi. Just after the Berlin Wall falls, the USSR becomes Russia and a coup has taken over the government. Anna makes the impossible possible when her dream becomes a reality and she becomes one of the first Americans ever to study at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow. She encounters adventures, trials, and heartaches along the way - including culture shock, language barriers, a first love, and a gang of Gypsy kids. Authored by creative and well-known ballet dancer and educator Anna Duvall, Dancing into My Bolshoi Dream is Anna's amazing true story of survival through the harsh conditions of Moscow at a time when the newly-formed Russian mafia has more control over Russia than the government. Misha Tchoupakov, formerly of the Bolshoi Ballet, describes the book as "very real, with lots of emotions." "A truly inspiring story of perseverance against all odds in a strange and foreign land," says Patrick Cross, nutritionist, trainer, and elite sports therapist. "A dreamy depiction written from the perspective of her dreamy 15-year-old self," says a published fiction writer, her father. Anna's survival during her intensive dance studies depends on connecting with the humanity of her directors, teachers, and fellow students. Thus begins the story of empathy with her very strict ballet teacher, and Anna's perseverance through physical and psychological torment during her studies. Since the Russian invasion of the American psyche still persists today, making daily headlines, Anna proves to be an authentic source of knowledge and insight into the creative minds of Russia. She provides an in-depth firsthand understanding of people, conflicts, and culture, the forces that awaken creativity at its best, producing the most celebrated ballet dancers in the world even during difficult times in their homeland.

    Michael Rabin, America's Virtuoso Violinist Audiobook by Anthony Feinstein

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Michael Rabin, America's Virtuoso Violinist Subtitle: The First Authorized Biography - Revised and Updated Author: Anthony Feinstein Narrator: Guy Bannerman Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs Language: English Release date: 08-28-17 Publisher: Amadeus Press Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: In Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist, Anthony Feinstein tells the poignant story of the life and career of one of history's greatest violinists. As a child prodigy, Rabin had the classical music world at his feet. Notable successes included a coveted EMI contract, recording the soundtrack for an Elizabeth Taylor movie, and guest appearances on The Milton Berle Show and The Bell Telephone Hour. Yet no sooner had Rabin taken his place alongside such illustrious colleagues as Heifetz, Milstein, and Stern, that he abruptly and inexplicably disappeared from the concert stage. For three years, the public saw and heard little of him. In the mid-1960s, Rabin resurfaced and painstakingly began rebuilding a once-great career. Then one morning, the music world awoke to news of his sudden, mysterious death at age 35. For the first edition of this biography, Feinstein had unprecedented access to Rabin's private papers and medical history. Now he draws on additional material obtained from recent interviews with Rabin's colleagues, girlfriends, and management. The result is an added appreciation of Rabin's remarkable family, his cloistered upbringing, and a micromanaged career that ensured not only great success, but also periods of deep despair. Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist is more than a story of a great violinist. It is also the moving account of a man of rare talent who never stopped battling to find personal happiness on that fragile journey from wunderkind to adulthood. The audiobook contains numerous musical extracts from Rabin's recordings that span his career from wunderkind to mature artist.

    Loving Robert Lowell Audiobook by Sandra Hochman

Title: Loving Robert Lowell Author: Sandra Hochman Narrator: Dawn Harvey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: When asked in 1976 by a reporter from People magazine if her first two novels were autobiographical, Sandra Hochman replied, "My real life is much more fabulous than the books. One day I plan to write about it - men, Paris, and women's liberation. It will probably be called Unreal Life." Hochman first met Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet Robert Lowell in 1961 at the Russian Tea Room in New York. She was to interview him for Encounter magazine. Hochman was 25 and had recently returned from Paris, where she had lived with her husband for four years. They were now separated. Lowell was 43, with plans to leave his wife. Hochman remembers it as the day that changed her life. The two poets fell in love instantly, and before the night was over, they had vowed to stay together forever. In Hochman's first literary work in almost 40 years, she writes in startling detail about the torrid, violent, and doomed affair that would follow.

    The Mighty Franks Audiobook by Michael Frank

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Mighty Franks Subtitle: A Memoir Author: Michael Frank Narrator: Michael Frank Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: A story at once extremely strange and entirely familiar - about families, innocence, art and love. This hugely enjoyable, totally unforgettable memoir is a classic in the making. 'My aunt called our two families the Mighty Franks. But, she said, you and I, Lovey, are a thing apart. The two of us have pulled our wagons up to a secret campsite. We know how lucky we are. We're the most fortunate people in the world to have found each other, isn't it so?' Michael Frank's upbringing was unusual, to say the least. His aunt was his father's sister and his uncle his mother's brother. The two couples lived blocks apart in the hills of LA, with both grandmothers in an apartment together nearby. Most unusual of all was his aunt, 'Hankie': a beauty with violet eyelids and leaves fastened in her hair, a woman who thought that conformity was death, a Hollywood screenwriter spinning seductive fantasies. With no children of her own, Hankie took a particular shine to Michael, taking him on antiquing excursions, telling him about 'the very last drop of her innermost self', holding him in her orbit in unpredictable ways. This love complicated the delicate balance of the wider family and changed Michael's life forever. Critic Reviews: "An utterly magical book. Michael Frank inherits Truman Capote's glorious ability to recreate the past in an act of exquisite, knowing retrieval. Set on the glamorous, conflicted fringes of 20th century Hollywood, Frank's memoir is a glittering, happy-sad evocation of his elegant, tyrannical, stylish aunt and the rest of his extraordinary family. I hung on every word, spying through his child's eyes. This is intense and lyrical prose: I never wanted it to stop." (Philip Hoare) "P.G. Wodehouse could not have invented Michael Frank's aunt. An astonishing story of a relationship and a family that ends up the wrong side up and inside-out. Beautiful, strange and true." (Ian Sansom) "The Mighty Franks is very easy to love and very hard to put down. It is a terrific portrait of Los Angeles at a particular time for all of us who ever fantasized about growing up with pools, palm trees, and, yes, even the occasional star. Moving, wonderfully written, and marvelously written, it is filled with characters who love you, hug you, drive you crazy, and sometimes make you cry." (George Hodgman, author of Bettyville)

    British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Freddie Mercury Audiobook by Charles River Editors

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Freddie Mercury Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Jim D Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Like many pop cultural icons (and rock icons in particular), Freddie Mercury is one of the most recognizable figures of the 20th century and yet one of the more enigmatic personalities as well. To be sure, anyone who was alive during the reign of Queen is well aware of who Mercury was and the sound of his music (even those who despise rock music are familiar with the blasting, deliriously over-the-top rhythms of songs like "We Are the Champions"). At the same time, a noteworthy discrepancy existed between the flamboyant personality that Freddie maintained during his performances and public appearances and the rather guarded manner in which he kept his private life more or less shielded from public view. By way of example, while it is now common knowledge that Mercury was homosexual (or at least bisexual), this was a fact that he avoided disclosing to the general public, and even his band mates were kept unaware until 1975. In some cases, biographical details are still not entirely clear, although the past 15 years have done much to clear up certain aspects of his life that Mercury kept close to the vest.

    History's Greatest Artists: The Life and Legacy of Rembrandt Audiobook by Charles River Editors

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: History's Greatest Artists: The Life and Legacy of Rembrandt Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Of all the famous Dutch masters during the Late Renaissance and Early Baroque periods, none surpass Rembrandt van Rijn in either historical importance or artistic merit. His aesthetic has been much-imitated, a testament to the inspirational grip they exert on their viewer. Key aspects of his style are instantly recognizable to even the casual fine art enthusiast: his penchant for chiaroscuro lighting amidst dark backgrounds; the feverish intensity of his subjects, who are often shown seemingly in action rather than composed; and the recurring use of Biblical and historical subject matter, not to mention an even more prolific output of portraits commissioned (including works commissioned by the Court of the Hague). The more educated viewer might also be aware of Rembrandt's remarkably thick handling of paint, which often seems to protrude from the canvas rather than invite a recession into space (in the Renaissance tradition.) However one recognizes a Rembrandt, however, the strength of his talents is such that encounters with his work leave an indelible imprint. That said, Rembrandt's fame derives not only from the hundreds of paintings he completed (his output is believed to total as many as several hundred works); Rembrandt is also remembered for his profligate spending habits, which famously resulted in him filing for bankruptcy in 1656. If "baroque" connotes excess, it is most appropriate that Rembrandt stands as the most famous painter of the Baroque age, as he lived well beyond his means.

The land is timeless, but much has changed: the station has been handed back to its traditional owners, the mining companies have arrived and Aboriginal art has flourished.

    Roads to Mussoorie Audiobook by Ruskin Bond

Title: Roads to Mussoorie Author: Ruskin Bond Narrator: Fred Stella Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Ruskin Bond emerges again, with a delightful set of sketches set in and on the way to his beloved Mussoorie. With an endearing affection and nostalgia for his home of over 40 years, Mr Bond describes his journeys to and from Mussoorie over the years, and then delves into the daily scandals surrounding his life and friends in the (not so) sleepy hill town. The pieces in this collection are characterised by an incorrigible sense of humour and an eye for ordinary - and most often unnoticed - details that are so essential to the geographic, social and cultural fabric of a place. Roads to Mussoorie is a memorable evocation of a writer's surroundings and the role they have played in his work and life.

    Da quando a ora Audiolibro di Giorgio Faletti

    Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 Titolo: Da quando a ora Autore: Giorgio Faletti Narratore: Diego Ribon Formato: Unabridged Durata: 5 hrs and 16 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 12-23-16 Editore: Audible Studios Categoria: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Riepilogo Editore: Tutto comincia ad Asti, al numero 33 di corso Torino: è lì che nasce, "bambino fatto in casa", Giorgio Faletti. Sono passati 62 anni, che lui ha impiegato facendo il comico, il musicista, l'attore, il pittore, e naturalmente lo scrittore. Scorrendo l'elenco delle sue imprese (e parliamo solo di quelle professionali) sembra che Giorgio Faletti abbia vissuto mille vite. Di sicuro, scopriamo leggendo il suo nuovo libro, ne ha vissute due: "Quando" e "Ora" sono le prime due sezioni che compongono questa autobiografia fatta di musica e parole. A fare da spartiacque una frase secca che mette i brividi: "Poi, senza preavviso, sono morto. Dell'ictus che lo ha colpito nel 2002 Faletti non ha mai raccontato molto." Lo fa adesso, a dieci anni di distanza, "perché consegnare a una pagina quella confidenza significherà liberarsene una volta per tutte, sarà come appendere una carta moschicida che invece di imprigionare gli insetti blocca i brutti ricordi". Dopo quella frase nel libro la scrittura cambia, dalla prima persona si passa alla terza e Faletti gioca a raccontarsi come fosse un personaggio dei suoi romanzi. Quello che non cambia è lo sguardo che tiene insieme passato e presente, e che sceglie di raccontare, senza imbarazzo né autocompiacimento, il rovescio della medaglia. Le difficoltà, le sfide perse, i fallimenti che si nascondono dietro una vita di successi. E che, paradossalmente, di questi successi sono il nutrimento: "La felicità la vivo, - ha detto Faletti a Silvia Nucini in un'intervista per Vanity Fair. - Sono le malinconie, l'amaro in bocca che mi ispira". E nelle pagine di "Da quando a ora" l'autore ci racconta com'è che funziona l'ispirazione, mettendo in parole quei momenti intimi, quegli attimi di vita da cui, nel tempo, sono nate le sue canzoni. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale. ©2012 Piergiorgio Nicolazzini Literary Agency (P)2016 Audible GmbH

Title: So Sad Today Author: Melissa Broder Narrator: Melissa Broder Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-16 Publisher: Jammer Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: In 2012 Melissa Broder went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread, so she began @SoSadToday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In So Sad Today, Broder delves deeper into existential themes, from eating disorders, drug addiction and unusual fetishes to love, death and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. Narrated by the author, this is a modern-day memoir that is relatable to so many. Critic Reviews: "So Sad Today is desperately honest.... Sad and uncomfortable and its own kind of gorgeous." (Roxane Gay, best-selling author of Bad Feminist) "It would have been easy for Broder to stay anonymous and simply publish a book of @SoSadToday's most popular tweets, but instead, she chose to challenge herself in what turned out to be a triumph of unsettlingly relatable prose." (Vanity Fair)

    Oscar Wilde: A Biography Audiobook by Samuel Crawford

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Oscar Wilde: A Biography Author: Samuel Crawford Narrator: Gabriel Benson Format: Unabridged Length: 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-16 Publisher: Samuel Crawford Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Oscar Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. Wilde's parents were successful Anglo-Irish Dublin intellectuals. Their son became fluent in French and German early in life. At university, Wilde read Greats; he proved himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at Dublin, then at Oxford. He became known for his involvement in the rising philosophy of aestheticism, led by two of his tutors, Walter Pater and John Ruskin. After university, Wilde moved to London into fashionable cultural and social circles. As a spokesman for aestheticism, he tried his hand at various literary activities: He published a book of poems, lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art", and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist. Known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day. At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He wrote Salome (1891) in French in Paris, but it was refused a license for England due to the absolute prohibition of biblical subjects on the English stage. Unperturbed, Wilde produced four society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London.

Title: Carolina Israelite Subtitle: How Harry Golden Made Us Care About Jews, the South, and Civil Rights Author: Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett Narrator: Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: This first comprehensive biography of Jewish American writer and humorist Harry Golden (1903-1981) - author of the 1958 national best seller Only in America - illuminates a remarkable life intertwined with the rise of the civil rights movement, Jewish popular culture, and the sometimes precarious position of Jews in the South and across America during the 1950s. After recounting Golden's childhood on New York's Lower East Side, Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett points to his stint in prison as a young man, after a widely publicized conviction for investment fraud during the Great Depression, as the root of his empathy for the underdog in any story. During World War II, the cigar-smoking, bourbon-loving raconteur landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, and founded the Carolina Israelite newspaper, which was published into the 1960s. Golden's writings on race relations and equal rights attracted a huge popular readership. Golden used his celebrity to editorialize for civil rights as the momentous story unfolded. He charmed his way into friendships and lively correspondence with Carl Sandburg, Adlai Stevenson, Robert Kennedy, and Billy Graham, among other notable Americans, and he appeared on the Tonight Show as well as other national television programs. Hartnett's spirited chronicle captures Golden's message of social inclusion for a new audience today.

Title: The Partnership Subtitle: Brecht, Weill, Three Women, and Germany on the Brink Author: Pamela Katz Narrator: Malk Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Among the most creative and outsized personalities of the Weimar Republic, that sizzling yet decadent epoch between the Great War and the Nazis' rise to power, were the renegade poet Bertolt Brecht and the rebellious avant-garde composer Kurt Weill. These two young geniuses and the three women vital to their work - actresses Lotte Lenya and Helene Weigel, and writer Elizabeth Hauptmann - joined talents to create the theatrical and musical masterworks The Threepenny Opera and The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, only to split in rancor as their culture cracked open and their aesthetic and temperamental differences became irreconcilable. The Partnership is the first book to tell the full story of Brecht and Weill's impulsive, combustible partnership, the compelling psychological drama of one of the most important creative collaborations of the past century. It is also the first book to give full credit where it is richly due to the three women whose creative gifts contributed enormously to their masterworks. And it tells the thrilling and iconic story of artistic daring entwined with sexual freedom during the Weimar Republic's most fevered years, a time when art and politics and society were inextricably mixed.

    The Van Cliburn Story Audiobook by Howard Reich

Title: The Van Cliburn Story Author: Howard Reich Narrator: Tom Taylorson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: When a lanky, unpretentious, incredibly gifted 23-year-old Texan took Moscow by musical storm in 1958, it launched a sensational career that began at the age of 13 and was to span over four decades. At the height of the Cold War, this friendly, openhearted pianist enchanted the hearts of Americans and Russians alike with playing that was more about "personal communications than exhibitionistic virtuosity". Winning the Soviet-sponsored Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition immediately thrust Van Cliburn into political as well as artistic pressures, attention, adulation, and scrutiny that might have sabotaged any young artist who lacked the confidence and conviction of Van Cliburn. After an 11-year retreat into privacy, the myth that surrounded the name Van Cliburn in the 1950s and '60s became legend with his triumphant reentry in 1987 - an event that was to epitomize the poetic nature of Van's entire life. Responding to an invitation to perform for Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev at a state dinner, Van once again proved that music is indeed the universal language of understanding and is capable of uniting our diverse cultures. Bounding off the platform after his performance to kiss Nancy Reagan and Raisa Gorbachev, Van responded to Raisa's request for more music by playing the beloved Soviet song "Moscow Nights" - the same nostalgic song he had learned and performed during his first incredible journey to Moscow in 1958. As millions of Americans watched on their television screens, the usual staid state dinner dissolved into a moving memory of Van singing along with the Gorbachevs as the whole room was overcome by tears. Russia and America joined hands and hearts in this one historical moment.

    British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Jane Austen Audiobook by Charles River Editors

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Jane Austen Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Diane Lehman Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: "Which brings us again, after this long way about, to Jane Austen and her novels, and that troublesome question about them. She was great and they were beautiful, because she and they were honest, and dealt with nature nearly a hundred years ago as realism deals with it to-day. Realism is nothing more and nothing less than the truthful treatment of material, and Jane Austen was the first and the last of the English novelists to treat material with entire truthfulness. Because she did this, she remains the most artistic of the English novelists, and alone worthy to be matched with the great Scandinavian and Slavic and Latin artists." (William Dean Howells) As has happened with many of history's greatest writers, Jane Austen (1775-1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death. Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, have earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature over the last 150 years. Austen's romantic fiction was an interesting genre. Her writing was laden with realism and scathing critiques of both society and the role women played in society during her life. Austen tried several different types of literary styles before settling on writing novels from 1811-1817, releasing Sense and Sensibility (1811), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). The novels highlighted women's dependence on marrying high in order to obtain better social statuses and financial security. Given the controversial nature of her topics and her writing, there was a strong debate in the 19th century over the merits of Jane's writing and her works.

    British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Charles Dickens Audiobook by Charles River Editors

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Charles Dickens Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Diane Lehman Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 05-14-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Charles Dickens needs no formal introduction, having been the most popular English writer of the 19th century and still one of the most popular writers in history today. Dickens' upbringing was a mixture of happy times and sad: When he recalled his father being sent to debtor's prison in his memoirs, his tears actually left marks on the page. These qualities eventually helped forge him into a man many regard as the greatest Victorian-era novelist, perhaps in the world, and the author of some of the most remarkable fictional characters who retain tremendous staying power to this day, including Fagin, Peepy, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist, to name just a few. Unlike other great writers and artists, during his own lifetime Dickens' works enjoyed remarkable popularity and renown, to such an extent that even Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli felicitated and feted Dickens. In the 20th century, well after Dickens' passing, his literary genius was truly and completely appreciated by ordinary readers as well as critics and scholars alike. Dickens' novels, novellas, and short stories retain powerful and enduring popularity with the public largely because Dickens, apart from the usual attributes of good fiction writing, connected his thoughts with the universal by using history and the present as bridges. By the time he died at the relatively young age of 58 from a stroke, he was already Europe's most famous writer, and obituaries noted that Dickens was a "sympathiser with the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed". Dickens was interred in Westminster Abbey, a rare honor bestowed only upon the greatest and most accomplished Britons. Many of Dickens' novels were written with the concept of social reform in mind, and Dickens' work was often praised for its realism, comic genius, and unique personalities. At the same time, however, Dickens' ability as a writer was nearly unrivaled, with his ability to write in prose unquestioned and unmatched. British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Charles Dickens details the writer's life and career while humanizing the man who overcame a turbulent childhood to become one of the West's greatest writers.

    American Legends: The Life of Frank Sinatra Audiobook by Charles River Editors

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Legends: The Life of Frank Sinatra Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Allison McKay Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: America has always celebrated its star entertainers, but Frank Sinatra remains a unique American legend. A pop culture fixture for over half a century, Sinatra's music is still cherished, and his persona remains its own archetype of the quintessential American star. Sinatra transcended genres to the extent that his music stands alone as its own kind of American music, with songs like "New York, New York," "Chicago," and "Come Fly with Me" instantly recognizable among all Americans. Of course there was also the life that went with the music. The cultural identity of the Rat Pack, epitomized in the 1960 film Ocean's Eleven, further contributed to his fame, and everyone knows and appreciates the image of easy living, smooth voice, and exuberant star power that Sinatra represents. If anything Sinatra's ability to make so many people feel happy and good about themselves was one of the main ingredients of his success. And as evidence of the fact that Americans don't mind their stars doing a little dirt, Sinatra's rap sheet and relationship with the mob are practically a celebrated part of his life. Given his almost universal appeal, it is easy to forget that Sinatra did not always enjoy strong popularity during his career. He had a meteoric rise to fame, but he also suffered a terrible midcareer slump in popularity and was forced to work hard to reinvent his public image. In a sense the many changes to his public identity only make him even more American; the American public loves an underdog figure, and during his rise back to fame Sinatra came to embody the struggling American hero. The many transformations that Sinatra made throughout his career were necessary to cement his legacy as an unshakable American icon. American Legends: The Life of Frank Sinatra looks at the life, career, and legacy of Ol' Blue Eyes.

    The Voice of Libertarians: The Life and Legacy of Ayn Rand Audiobook by Charles River Editors

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Voice of Libertarians: The Life and Legacy of Ayn Rand Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Clifford Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: "Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution.... The only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off." (Ayn Rand) Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, to Jewish parents on February 2, 1905, as Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, and she lived through the turbulence and transformation of early 20th-century Russia. Her first exposure to reading came after she taught herself how to read at age six, and she decided at nine years old to become a writer after a chance encounter with the books of Victor Hugo, the writer she admired most. The seminal events in the young would-be writer's life came just a few years later, when she witnessed firsthand the Bolshevik Revolution and the ultimate Communist victory as a teenager. Rand's experience with the maelstrom of this revolutionary zeal and cultural breakdown greatly contributed to the formation of Rand's philosophy of objectivism, individualism, and antireligious ideas. During her last year of high school, she was introduced to the history of the United States and immediately decided to make America her model of what an ideal society should look like. Rand came to the United States as a young woman for a visit in 1925, and, as fate would have it, she never returned to Russia. In middle age Rand continued trying to write in some capacity as a profession, but she had also formed her personal philosophy of integrating ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, economics, and sexuality into what came to be called objectivism, or, as she called it, "a philosophy for living on earth".

    The Mighty Dead: Why Homer Matters Audiobook by Adam Nicolson

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Mighty Dead: Why Homer Matters Author: Adam Nicolson Narrator: Dugald Bruce Lockhart Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-15 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Longlisted for the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction "A thrilling and complex book, enlarges our view of Homer.... There's something that hits the mark on every page" (Claire Tomalin, Books of the Year, New Statesman) From where does Homer come? And why does Homer matter? His epic poems of war and suffering can still speak to us of the role of destiny in life, of cruelty, of humanity and its frailty, but why they do is a mystery. How can we be so intimate with something so distant? The Mighty Dead is a magical journey of discovery across wide stretches of the past, sewn together by some of the oldest stories we have - the great ancient poems of Homer and their metaphors of life and trouble. In this provocative and enthralling book, Adam Nicolson explains why Homer still matters and how these vital, epic verses - with their focus on the eternal questions about the individual versus the community, honour and service, love and war - tell us how we became who we are. Critic Reviews: "A thrilling and complex book, enlarges our view of Homer.... There's something that hits the mark on every page." (Claire Tomalin, Books of the Year, New Statesman) "Bursting with enthusiasm, erudition and eccentricity: a travelogue, a memoir, a work of literary criticism and, at bottom, an archaeology of the western imagination. Completely thrilling." (Susan Hill, Books of the Year, Spectator) "Only the hardiest immune systems will be able to resist his unselfconscious adoration of the poet. Anyone who feels they never 'got' Homer should read this book." (Books of the Year, Sunday Times) "Astounding. Scholarly, but so up-close and personal that you feel it in the guts...it transcends genre...you come away exhilarated." (Sofka Zinovieff, Books of the Year, Spectator) "A brilliant, passionate, world-wandering love letter to Homer...far more inspirational than any dry academic exegesis. If the only real test of any book about Homer is that it should make you want to go back to Homer, then The Mighty Dead passes in a blaze of glory." (Sunday Times) "A hosanna to Homeric wandering and wanderlust...breathes new life into an ancient adventure." (Observer)

    Cannes & Cap d'Antibes: Travel Adventures Audiobook by Ferne Arfin

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Cannes & Cap d'Antibes: Travel Adventures Author: Ferne Arfin Narrator: Don Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-15 Publisher: Hunter Publishing, Inc. Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration Publisher's Summary: Cannes is probably the most urban of all the Riviera resorts. When not lounging on terraces overlooking the water (the quintessential Cannes accommodation is a rented apartment with a sea or pool view), experienced visitors spend a lot of time "en promenade." Before lunch on La Croisette is the traditional time and place to stroll, window shop, see, and be seen. For aficionados of "old towns," the area known as Le Suquet around Cannes' oldest harbor is where what little remains of the city's pre-nineteenth-century history can be found. A medieval castle atop the old city, the views over La Croisette, the Bay of Cannes, and the Iles de Lérins make it clear why the first defensive structures of ancient Canoïs were built there. The castle now standing was built at the end of the eleventh century. The keep, the Romanesque Chapel of Sainte Anne, and the cisterns date from the original structure. I discovered that I loved Antibes on my first trip to the South of France. Maybe that is why it has remained my favorite town on the Riviera ever since. In the ruelles of the Vielle Ville, every house seemed bursting with flowers. Geraniums, oleanders, bougainvilla, grapevines, palms and yucca plants framed windows, tumbled out of pots, and covered golden stone walls. Rounding a bend we would be surprised by a sudden view of one of the ports, of the ramparts and fort. Or a market table loaded with oranges and lemons, their fragrances saturating the air. Or a shady square. Or the tiny shop where I bought needles in paper packets, embroidery silk, brightly printed Provençal fabrics, and armloads of fresh flowers. Some afternoons we chilled, drinking menthe et l'eau or Ricard along the front at Juan les Pins, watching women in high heels and gold bikinis shop the designer stores while my friend hummed "Music to Watch Girls By". At night we watched fireworks set to music over the harbor, listened to fabulous jazz in Juan les Pins, or tried our luck at the casino. American millionaires discovered Antibes-Juan les Pins at the beginning of the twentieth century. They built enormous mansions on the Cap d'Antibes or took over ones built half a century earlier, like Eilenroc, designed by Charles Garnier in the the 1860s. By the 1920s and '30s, the era the French call l'age du pyjama, they had turned it into a winter resort on their social schedule of Europe. Everything you need to know is in this remarkable guide: the history, what to see and do, the culture, the activities, the restaurants, and all the hotels. The author lives near the areas she writes about and visits them often.

    William Wells Brown Audiobook by Ezra Greenspan

    Please visit https://fashabooks.com/aff/fashabooks/1639 to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: William Wells Brown Subtitle: An African-American Life Author: Ezra Greenspan Narrator: Mirron Willis Format: Unabridged Length: 20 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Born into slavery in Kentucky, raised on the Western frontier on the farm adjacent to Daniel Boones, rented out in adolescence to a succession of steamboat captains on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the young man known as Sandy reinvented himself as William Wells Brown after escaping to freedom. He lifted himself out of illiteracy and soon became an innovative, widely admired, and hugely popular speaker on antislavery circuits (both American and British) and went on to write the earliest African American works in a plethora of genres: travelogue, novel (the now canonized Clotel), printed play, and history. He also practiced medicine, ran for office, and campaigned for black uplift, temperance, and civil rights. Ezra Greenspans masterful work, elegantly written and rigorously researched, sets Browns life in the richly rendered context of his times, creating a fascinating portrait of an inventive writer who dared to challenge the racial orthodoxies and explore the racial complexities of nineteenth-century America.

Eine der wärmsten und fruchtbarsten Ecken Deutschlands. Dort könnten bald klimatische Verhältnisse herrschen wie in Mittelitalien. Chianti-Reben statt Gutedel, vielleicht sieht so die Zukunft des Weinbaus hier aus. Eine fast paradiesische Landschaft, die gelegentlich Schlagzeilen machte: durch die rabiate Rebflurbereinigung der 70er Jahre oder den Protest vieler Kaiserstühler gegen das einst geplante Kernkraftwerk Wyhl. Und Breisach mit seinem Münster hoch überm Rhein wurde zum Symbol deutsch-französischer Freundschaft. O-Töne: Karl Ruh, Gärtnermeister, Endingen am Kaiserstuhl; Hans-Peter Trautwein, Ökowinzer, Bahlingen/Kaiserstuhl; Theo Liebenstein, Revierförster, Kaiserstuhl; Ralf Stritt, Burkheimer Fischerzunft; Sibylle Breisacher, Ihringen, Kaiserstuhl; Musik: "Mueders Stübele", Komp. + Interpret: Walter Mossmann, Liedermacher, Kaiserstuhl. Regie: Maria Ohmer. ©2007 SWR (P)2007 SWR
