About this listen
En el puerto de La Habana desembarca una mañana de principios de los años 50 un joven asturiano, Patricio, sin otro patrimonio que sus ganas de comerse el mundo y sin otro afán que dejar atrás una aldea aún envuelta en las sombras de una posguerra interminable.
A su encuentro sale una ciudad luminosa y hospitalaria en la que pronto hace amigos y donde enseguida encuentra trabajo en El Encanto, los grandes almacenes que son un símbolo y el orgullo la ciudad. Patricio empieza a ascender y a ocupar puestos de más responsabilidad que le abren un mundo nuevo, pero que también atraen hacia él muchas envidias.
El Encanto será también el lugar que propicie su encuentro con Gloria, una de las mujeres más hermosas y, sin duda, la más prohibida de toda la isla, ya que su marido es un gánster implacable de los bajos fondos habaneros.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Cuando Yuri Santacruz asistió al nombramiento como canciller de Adolf Hitler, no podía imaginar lo mucho que cambiaría su vida en Berlín. Había llegado allí unos meses atrás, después de haber huido, junto con parte de su familia, de San Petersburgo, asfixiados por una revolución que los había dejado sin nada. A Yuri también lo privó de su madre y su hermano pequeño, a quienes las autoridades rusas no permitieron la salida del país. Ya en Berlín, su sentido de la justicia lo impulsará a defender a un joven comunista agredido por las tropas de asalto de Hitler.

Afganistán, 2004. La doctora Edith Lombard, de Médicos Sin Fronteras, hace guardia en un hospital de Kabul. Al atender a una joven en quirófano advierte en su cuello algo que atrae su atención: un collar del que cuelga una perla de ámbar. Una perla que Edith reconoce enseguida, pues fue robada en su casa de Quebec dieciocho años antes, en un atraco en el que su madre falleció de un disparo. Una perla de la que su padre, Édouard Lombard, había contado que perteneció a la famosa Cámara de Ámbar de San Petersburgo, desparecida durante la II Guerra Mundial.

Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

ESPECTACULARRRR!
Me fascino este libro, me enganche desde la primera página. Muy disfrutable, emocionante e interesante. Una trama con sorpresas bien elaborada donde se entrelazan historias personales, la historia de la Cuba de los años 50, la mafia con su crudeza y la tónica, una historia de amor que emociona. Me encanto, espero encontrar mas de esta escritora.

Vivir nuevamente mis años en Cuba
Es difícil resumir en pocas palabras los recuerdos que éste libro me ha traído. Mi madre trabajó en El Encanto, en el Departamento de arreglos. Personajes como Manet, eran parte del resumen de su día a la hora de la cena. Los sábados mi papá y yo íbamos a buscarla y especialmente en Navidad pasábamos largo rato en la tienda viendo la espectácular decoración navideña.
El día de la quema de El Encanto, mi madre debía haber estado allí haciendo guardia...pero no estaba, pues sufrí uno de mis ataques de asma. El G2 se la llevó presa esa noche, su tía la había denunciado. Ahí comenzó un cambio en nuestras vidas, huyendo ella y yo solas a Venezuela con $3. Pero mi madre llevaba el tesoro de haberse convertido, en El Encanto, en una modista de alta costura.
Graciassssss por haberme paseado por La Habana y por El Encanto.
Saludos Idania Martin
