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.

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.

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.

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. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

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.

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.

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.

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". ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

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. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

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.
