About this listen
Generalmente se nos suele enseñar la Edad Media como una etapa de oscuridad marcada por guerras continuas entre señores feudales y por un cristianismo hermético. Un estudio a fondo nos demostrará que no es una imagen completa, ya que sólo tiene en cuenta el ojo occidental. Breve Historia del Imperio Bizantino nos presenta la historia del otro lado, la historia de la Edad Media vista desde un imperio majestuoso que supo conservar, desde su inexpugnable capital Constantinopla, durante más de un milenio los valores y la cultura del antiguo Imperio romano.
El libro arranca en el S. III a. C. para ponernos en antecedentes acerca de la ruptura del Imperio romano en dos, el de Oriente y el de Occidente, sólo comprendiendo esto seremos capaces de aceptar que cuando se habla de la caída del Imperio romano, es el de Occidente el que cae, el Imperio oriental resiste, y su destino corre paralelo a la Edad Media. El Imperio Bizantino será no un nuevo imperio, sino la prolongación del Imperio romano hasta la modernidad. Conocer sus relaciones con los otomanos, o la influencia de las Cruzadas en Oriente, conocer las relaciones del Papa de Roma con el Emperador de Constantinopla, que desembocan en el cisma entre la Iglesia Católica y la Ortodoxa, o presenciar la decadencia de la dinastía Macedónica y la destrucción de Constantinopla, es conocer la Edad Media en toda su complejidad.
Una historia apasionante sobre un Imperio que, en medio de la tumultuosa y bélica Edad Media, supo crear una ciudad invencible, que resistió el ataque de los mejores ejércitos, y en la que, los valores del Imperio romano resistieron mil años y entraron de lleno en la modernidad.

Roma está bajo el control de Cómodo, un emperador loco. El Senado se conjura para terminar con el tirano y los gobernadores militares más poderosos podrían dar un golpe de Estado: Albino en Britania, Severo en el Danubio o Nigro en Siria. Cómodo retiene a sus esposas para evitar su rebelión y Julia, la mujer de Severo, se convierte así en rehén.

"La República" es la más conocida e influyente obra de Platón, y es el compendio de las ideas que conforman su filosofía. Se trata de un diálogo entre Sócrates y otros personajes, como los discípulos o parientes del propio Sócrates. El tema central de la República es la reflexión sobre qué es la justicia y cómo se expresa en el hombre, lo que lleva a Platón a abordar la organización de la ciudad-estado ideal.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Story5 out of 5 stars 150
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. 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.

Bizancio el úlimo escudo de la Europa cristiana
Si eres aficionado(a) a la historia de Grecia/Roma clásica, este audiolibro no te lo debes de perder porque el Imperio Romano no cayó en en el año 476, sino hasta 1453, con la caída de Constantinopla. Esta excelente cápsula histórica relata alrededor de 1000 años del Imperio Romano de Oriente (Bizantino).
De manera interesante, el autor plantea, que si Constantinopla hubiera caído antes del siglo XV en poder de los musulmanes, probablemente también Europa hubiera tenido un destino similar.
La narración de Adriana Sananes (como de costumbre) es excelente.
