About this listen
LA HISTORIA CONTADA POR SU PROTAGONISTA:
EL MEMOIR ACLAMADO POR LA CRÍTICA QUE VA MÁS ALLÁ DE LA SERIE,
NOMINADO A LOS PREMIOS CINEMATOGRÁFICOS DE LA FERIA DE FRANKFURT
«Millones de personas confinadas en todo el mundo se han dejado fascinar estos días por Unorthodox, [...] un mundo tan exótico como real.» Ana Carbajosa, El País
«Uno de esos libros que no puedes soltar.» Joan Rivers, The New York Post
Como miembro de los satmar, una comunidad de judíos ultraortodoxos de Williamsburg (Brooklyn, Nueva York), Deborah Feldman crece bajo un estricto código de normas que rige desde su idioma -el yiddish- o su indumentaria hasta sus lecturas y las personas con las que se le permite relacionarse. Siendo adolescente, intuye que puede existir una forma de vida alternativa entre los rascacielos de Manhattan, y se debate entre la responsabilidad de ser una buena judía jasídica y sus anhelos de independencia, como los que anidan en las protagonistas de las novelas de Jane Austen o Louisa May Alcott que lee a escondidas de su familia. Pero pronto se ve atrapada en un matrimonio concertado que resulta frustrante, sexual y emocionalmente. Todo cambia cuando, a los diecinueve años, da a luz a su hijo y comprende que, a pesar de todos los obstáculos, ha de encontrar para ambos un camino hacia la libertad.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

La adopción de pautas alimentarias que dejan total o parcialmente de lado los productos de origen animal es considerada por la población, en ocasiones, una mera opción ideológica, carente de fundamento científico y hasta perniciosa para la salud. De entre dichas pautas, conocidas como «dietas basadas en plantas» (plant-based diets), destacan el vegetarianismo y el veganismo.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reveladora, intrigante y singular
Me gustó y me sorprendió la historia que narra esta mujer, me parece muy valiente al contar su historia sin duda, fuerte y escandalosa. Me parece increíble la interpretación de las religiones, el impacto te tiene en las vidas de seres humanos. Dictaminando así su futuro y estrechando sus posibilidades.
