About this listen
El último territorio del antiguo imperio romano fuera de Europa era Constantinopla una ciudad de grandes murallas y fortaleza protegida. Pero la presión turca para invadirla cada vez era mayor y el sultán Mehmed II está completamente obsesionado con capturar la ciudad que identifica con el símbolo de la cristiandad.
En Constantinopla, conocida como Bizancio, sus habitantes todavía esperan la posible ayuda proveniente del resto de la cristiandad, pero esta no tiene ningún interés en salvar a los bizantinos.
El sultán recurrirá a una maniobra totalmente inesperada por parte de los defensores de la ciudad para dejarles totalmente indefensos.

En 1518, un cuarto de siglo después de Cristóbal Colón, Magallanes convenció al rey de España, Carlos I, de que le proporcionara una flota para explorar el mar que separaba Asia de América. A sus treinta y nueve años, al mando de una flota de 5 barcos y 265 hombres, comenzaba un episodio que marcaría la historia de la navegación y de la humanidad.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Hofmiller, un oficial de la caballería austrohúngara, es invitado a una fiesta en la casa de un rico terrateniente Kekesfalva, lo que le lleva a un mundo completamente distinto del de su rutina cuartelaria habitual: se encuentra en un entorno glamuroso, donde el vino fluye libremente y acaba estimulándole, a pedir a la bella hija de su anfitrión que baile con el. Sin embargo para su horror descubre que la joven es inválida. Esta torpeza inconsciente va a ser el comienzo de la pérdida del respeto hacia sí mismo.

Robespierre y los jacobinos luchan por la paz para que entre tanto venga el poder a sus manos. Crece cada día la tensión, los periódicos polemizan con artículos vibrantes, se discute en los clubs, circulan los rumores más diversos y la opinión va excitándose cada día que pasa. Y como siempre que apremia una determinación, se experimenta una especie de liberación cuando por fin, el 20 de abril, el rey de Francia declara la guerra al emperador de Austria y al rey de Prusia.

José Fouché fue uno de los hombres mas poderosos de su època y uno de los mas extraordinarios de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, ni gozó de simpatias entre sus contempordneos ni se le ha hecho justicia en la posteridad. A Napoleóni en Santa Elena, a Robespierre entre los jacobinos, a Carnot, Barras y Talleyrand en sus respectivas Memorias, y a todos los historiadores franceses — realistas, republicanos o bonapartistas—, la piuma les rezuma hiel cuando escriben su nombre.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
Publicada en 1929, "Fouché, el genio tenebroso", es una de las mayores obras maestras de Stefan Zweig. Una obra apasionante e hipnótica, que no deja indiferente a nadie. Joseph Fouché (1759 - 1820) fue uno de los personajes más controvertidos de la Revolución Francesa. Hipócrita, tenebroso y maquiavélico, votó a favor de la muerte de Luis XVI y María Antonieta y fue responsable de sangrientas represalias. Luego, sintiéndose amenazado por Robespierre, participó activamente en la conspiración termidoriana.

Un gran estratega militar, un administrador sin igual: Carlomagno unificó Europa y le dio sus señas de identidad. Poco es lo que se ha escrito sobre uno de los hombres más relevantes de la historia, quizá por los prejuicios que arrastra, incluso para los estudiosos, la Edad Media. Considerada unánimemente como un período salvaje y oscuro, pocos olvidan el espíritu de Carlomagno, el rey de los francos, un sobresaliente militar que formó un imperio compuesto por Galia, Germania, Italia y la parte norte de España.

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.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

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.

Widely hailed as a spiritual classic, this inspirational and unfailingly powerful story reveals the life and visions of the Lakota healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and the tragic history of his Sioux people during the epic closing decades of the Old West. In 1930, the aging Black Elk met a kindred spirit, the famed poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt (1881–1973) on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

La caída de Bizancio
Muy interesante y recomendable como toda obra de Stephan Zweig. Además, muy bien narrado por Joan Mora.

Otra maravillosa joya sobre la historia de Zweig
Excelente narración. Zweig, como siempre, engancha desde el primer momento, narrando un momento histórico con maestría.
