To listen to The Little World of Don Camillo is to travel to the valley of the River Po, Italy's widest and most fertile plain, with its unique atmosphere, culture, and natural history. And to do so in the incomparable company of a cast of fictional characters who testify to the exquisite humor and humanity of their creator. Here, eternal forces grapple with the absurd drama of everyday life, and hilarious and unearthly things can happen.

Story
It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

Narration leaves something to be desired
- By Laura on 07-10-19
obviously a well researched book...
Reviewed: 05-16-22
Like several people have mentioned the narrator takes away from this book. Whenever she is reading a direct quote, she attempts to mimic the accent of the nationality of the person who made the statement. Its cringe worthy at times. Mispronounces many names.
Story itself is excellent. Very informative. I would recommend it. Archbishop Lefebvre seems to be getting vindicated more and more, year by year.....

Basically reads the Bible story, but in a very relatable and systematic fashion. He lays out the story of Jesus in a historical context with what was happening in the Roman and Jewish world.

40% of this book is a tangent. Still very interesting. But at times I found myself wondering aloud what this had to do with the story at hand.

An amazing story of survival, patriotism and heroism. What struck me was strangers willingness to risk everything for a man they didn't know.

Story
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed journalist and author of the best seller Into the Wild. Jon Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people - including himself - to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Krakauer's eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.

Story
Evan MacIan is a tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed Scottish Highlander and a devout Roman Catholic. James Turnbull is a short, red-haired, gray-eyed Lowlander and a devout but naïve atheist. The two meet when MacIan smashes the window of the street office where Turnbull publishes an atheist journal. This act of rage occurs when MacIan sees posted on the shop's window a sheet that blasphemes the Virgin Mary, presumably implying she was an adulteress who gave birth to an illegitimate Jesus.
