Acerca de esta escucha
In this inspiring work, Dominique Lapierre tells stories of extraordinary love and heroism - performed by ordinary people. Deep within one of the poorest sections of Calcutta, Lapierre found that this city, which produced Mother Teresa, had many other selfless inhabitants. Hear about a Polish Catholic priest who came to share and ease the plight of the impoverished, an American doctor who came to treat people who were without medical resources, and an Assamese nurse who became an Angel of Mercy to the afflicted. Best selling author Lapierre has woven these amazing stories into an epic tale of human benevolence and hope.

Historia
This is the story of the eclipse of the British Raj and the birth of an independent India and Pakistan. The fabled India of the maharajas, with their palaces and harems, their gold-caparisoned elephants and their glittering private armies—the India of Kipling’s legendary army, with its young British officers commanding troops of a dozen races, religions, and castes—the India of tiger hunts and pigsticking.

Here they recreate the drama, the fervor, and the triumph that heralded one of the most dramatic events of our time. Is Paris Burning? reconstructs, in meticulous and riveting detail, the network of fateful events - day by day, moment by moment - that saved the City of Light.

Historia
The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

Elegant, enigmatic Jay Gatsby yearns for his old love, the beautiful Daisy. But she is married to the insensitive if hugely successful Tom Buchanan, who won’t let her go despite having a mistress himself. In their wealthy haven, these beguiling lives are brought together by the innocent and entranced narrator, Nick – until their decadent deceits spill into violence and tragedy. Part morality tale, part fairy tale, The Great Gatsby is the consummate novel of the Jazz Age. Its tenderness and poetry make it one of the great works of the 20th century.

His memories of that terrifying experience are still vivid, and his love for his brother Andris still brings a husky tone to his voice when he remembers the terrible ordeal they endured together. Stephen's account of the Holocaust, told in the refreshingly direct and optimistic language of a young boy, will help every listener to understand that the Holocaust was real.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Historia
The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Michael York makes this book bearable
I was required to read this book for a Cultural Anthropology class. It did help me understand various concepts of lineage, marriage and status. While I wouldn't have chosen to read this on my own, the audio version was very pleasant and I was surprised how fast I got thru it.
Michael York's voice is beautiful.

All to vivid description of poverty in Calcutta
Would you listen to The City of Joy again? Why?
No I wouldn't listen again, but I might read the book.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The strength and hope shown by people living under such appalling conditions.
Would you be willing to try another one of Michael York’s performances?
No, unless he used a less soppy tone in what he was reading.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
That once the slum area had become known because of the work being done there, it changed, not always to the benefit of the inhabitants.
Any additional comments?
Having just read a history of the East India Company and Britain's colonial occupation of India, the narrative of this book illustrates so completely the damage perpetrated by foreign powers sucking the wealth out of nations.

Beautiful
Each book I've read by Dominique Lapierre, leaves me 'in awe'! Beyond Love, magnificent also. The City of Joy, I just could not stop listening to it. I have purchased the book for two friends, whom I know will find this book so beautiful and will keep it close to their hearts.
Thank You

INCOMPLETE AUDIOBOOK
INCOMPLETE AUDIOBOOK. Very disappointed in the fact that Audible is advertising and selling this recording as a complete book. Guess their screening process has some loopholes. Guess I'll cancel my subscription now.

NOT THE FULL BOOK
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
IF IT WAS THE FULL BOOK!!!!
What could Dominique Lapierre have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
He did a fine job.
Would you be willing to try another one of Michael York’s performances?
NO!! I HONESTLY WILL NOT BE USING AUDIBLE EVER AGAIN!!!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The City of Joy?
NONE PLEASE KEEP THE FULL VERSION AVAIABLE FOR THOSE WHO WOULD HAVE ENJOYED LISTENING TO ALL OF IT!! THE FACT THAT THIS IS EVEN A QUESTION IS DISTRUBING!!! WHAT IS THIS NAZI GERMANY, AUDIBLE SHOULD NOT REMOVE ANY SCENE FROM ANY BOOK!!!!
Any additional comments?
This has been a terrible experience for someone who truly loves audio books. I understand that some of the scenes in The City of Joy are disturbing but if you are going to have an edited verson please make a full verson avaiable also. Otherwise it really isn't the worthwhile for those who actually want to learn through listening. I give audible a zero out of five stars.

Not The Actual Book
This is not the book. It's a sample. I didn't realize that and based on the reviews I'm not alone. Audible should make it more clear.

It's ok
It's good if you want a summary of the book but it skips many parts of the story. Like Hasari pals' introduction at the beginning of the physical copy of the book. I think that if you read the book you will probably get more out of the story.
