About this listen
En estas páginas sin censura se cuenta todo sobre la vida intensa, de esplendor y tragedia, del mejor boxeador que ha tenido México y uno de los campeones mundiales más grandes de todos los tiempos
De niño, Julio César Chávez vivió con sus padres y hermanos en un viejo vagón de tren, en la pobreza más extrema; desde sus primeras peleas profesionales sorprendió de inmediato a los expertos; sus victorias ante rivales duros y experimentados -a veces sin ganar un solo peso por sus combates- le dieron la oportunidad de llegar al ansiado título del mundo, para con ello iniciar su leyenda.
Jamás se había escrito con tanta franqueza sobre sus logros como boxeador, sus peleas por los campeonatos mundiales, sus enfrentamientos legendarios con Mario El Azabache Martínez, Rubén Castillo, Edwin El Chapo Rosario, Roger Mayweather, Meldrick Taylor, Óscar de la Hoya y muchos más peleadores fuera de serie; su incursión en el mundo del alcohol, las drogas, el torbellino de una vida al límite que derivó en las derrotas más trágicas de su vida.
Julio César Chávez: la verdadera historia revela quiénes fueron los grandes amores del campeón mexicano; qué actrices, cantantes y celebridades fueron seducidas por su carisma; cuál fue su relación con políticos poderosos, presidentes del país, empresarios, narcos encumbrados y estrellas del espectáculo.
El testimonio del gran campeón mexicano y del hermano mayor de El César del boxeo, recogido por Javier Cubedo, no sólo es el repaso de una vida intensa y delirante, es también una serie inolvidable de lecciones de vida, un recuento de las victorias en el ring, de los romances prohibidos y las confesiones de esas horas de excesos demenciales, sin olvidar las trágicas muertes de los hermanos del campeón mexicano y los detalles donde se da muestra de la generosidad del campeón con su familia y la gente del pueblo que, sin duda, lo hizo ya inmortal.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

"El Charro de Huentitán refleja el tiempo de oro de la música popular, la de hombres y mujeres que caminaron por el barro y llegaron a la cumbre". El palenque estallaba en gritos de felicidad y delirio. Erguido y con la frente en alto, se ajustó el sombrero de ala ancha y el traje de charro, acomodó la pistola en el cinturón y arremetió con su voz. Se dispuso a cantar como el público lo merecía y hasta que dejara de aplaudir. Así sucedió siempre, mientras el mariachi rasgaba las cuerdas de las guitarras y las trompetas y los violines lloraban, él también lloraba.

El traidor es uno de los trabajos periodísticos más ambiciosos en la trayectoria de Anabel Hernández. Su historia se remonta a enero de 2011, cuando la contactó uno de los abogados de Vicente Zambada Niebla, mejor conocido como Vicentillo, quien enfrentaba un juicio en una corte de Chicago. La intención era compartir con la periodista documentos y hechos que ampliaban y esclarecían varios de los episodios que acababa de dar a conocer en Los señores del narco.

En 2008, cuando Jesús Lemus dirigía el periódico El Tiempo de La Piedad, Michoacán, publicó diversas notas que irritaron a las autoridades locales. La venganza de los poderosos no se hizo esperar: le fabricaron cargos criminales y lo enviaron al penal de máxima seguridad de Puente Grande. Después de varios años encerrado e incontables tribulaciones, Lemus consiguió la libertad. Gracias a la fuerza que el oficio de periodista le brindó, se decidió a contar su historia y la de aquellos hombres con los que compartió torturas y humillaciones.

No es una pandilla, no es una célula de un grupo mayor ni tampoco una banda doméstica, sino un auténtico cártel que logró apoderarse del centro del país, justo en las narices de las más altas autoridades. ¿Cómo lo hizo? Ejerciendo una violencia como nunca se había visto, con el liderazgo de un hombre del que poco o nada se sabía, con una red de lavado poderosísima y la apatía de dos administraciones capitalinas.

Un audiolibro que aporta las claves para esclarecer un suceso que definió la historia del narcotráfico en México: el asesinato del agente de la DEA Enrique Kiki Camarena, en febrero de 1985. Se trata de un caso emblemático que pone en evidencia la forma en que el crimen organizado adquirió un poder prácticamente ilimitado en nuestro país, gracias a la complicidad urdida con policías, militares y funcionarios públicos, algunos de ellos aún en activo.

After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts. Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

Derick Lugo had never been hiking. He certainly couldn't imagine going more than a day without manicuring his goatee. But with a job cut short and no immediate plans, this fixture of the New York comedy scene began to think about what he might do with months of free time. He had heard of the Appalachian Trail, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,184.2 miles of it. Suddenly he found himself asking, Could he do it?

In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Great Book about a Great Man
Excellent book about the Mexican legend. It talks about his successes but also talks about his very serious struggles with drugs and alcohol. Well written. Well performed. Alot of love and rigorous honesty in this book. If you speak Spanish, I would highly recommend it.
