Story
Porfirio Díaz. Su vida y su tiempo narra la historia de uno de los personajes más fascinantes en la historia de México. Héroe para unos, villano para otros, su vida de soldado ilustra en plenitud una novela de aventuras del siglo XIX. Es el tema que aborda La guerra. Díaz nació en un mundo donde la gente despertaba a las cuatro de la madrugada para rezar el Rosario; formó parte de la generación que derribó a sablazos aquel mundo durante la Reforma y destacó como nadie en la lucha contra la Intervención y el Imperio.

Aquí se cuenta la vida de un hombre que solía despertarse, casi siempre, en un lugar diferente del que originalmente había elegido para dormir. Tenía este extraño hábito porque más de la mitad de su vida adulta, 17 años de los 30 que vivió antes de sumarse a una revolución, había sido prófugo de la justicia, bandolero, ladrón, asaltante de caminos, cuatrero. Y tenía miedo de que la debilidad de las horas sueño fuera su perdición.

México es un país racista que niega serlo. Con argumentos como “No es racismo, sino clasismo”, “Acá somos todos mestizos” o “Nunca hubo un sistema segregacionista como en Estados Unidos” negamos que hemos perpetuado la discriminación durante generaciones. Tenoch Huerta, actor de reconocido prestigio y portavoz del debate y la lucha antirracista en México desde hace años, se encarga de rebatir estos y otros mitos acerca del racismo en Orgullo prieto.

Maximiliano de Habsburgo ostentó el título de emperador de México entre 1864 y 1867. Su vida como monarca trascendió hasta nuestros días, con especial dramatismo, por su trágico final. Fue un personaje a la vez polémico, ridículo y notable. El papel que desempeñó en México reflejó los cambios que propiciaba, en ese momento, el ajedrez mundial, jugado sobre todo en Europa y Norteamérica. Esta concisa biografía introduce a este destacado personaje histórico en el contexto de los 150 años del final del Imperio Mexicano.

Publisher's summary
La otra historia de México: Hidalgo e Iturbide, es la otra historia de México, donde sus héroes y heroínas no son de bronce o mármol, sino hombres y mujeres sujetos a la grandeza y las miserias de la condición humana. Es aquella que nos permite replantearnos quien es el verdadero Padre de la Patria y cuestionar el papel de los llamados villanos y traidores que señalan los libros de texto. Como nunca antes, Armando Fuentes Aguirre "Catón" aborda el convulsionado periodo de la Independencia de México y retrata a sus protagonistas sin miramientos ni concesiones. Hidalgo, Morelos, Iturbide, Guerrero, Nicolás Bravo y todos los sin nombre, los que la historia olvidó, desfilan por los capítulos de este audio libro con sus virtudes y desaciertos, sacrificios heroicos y traiciones despreciables. Si por sus actos serán recordados, ¿a quién mantener en la memoria histórica de un país que ha perdido la fe? Es esta, más que todo, una obra de divulgación. Fue escrita por un periodista, no por un historiador. Pero algo tiene de historiador el periodista. A nada aspira el que la escribió sino a ser acompañado en la aventura por los mismos cuatro oyentes que ya otras veces lo han seguido. A ellos les dice el autor que lo que aquí van a escuchar, "No es histórico: es verídico." - Catón

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Story
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.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Wonderful book.
I loved it. Hopefully more books by this author (and narrator) will be added. The book is realistic, interesting and funny... yes funny even though it is a history book. Still it's name does not do justice to its content. It is a book about the Independence of México, Hidalgo is covered in the first chapters only, and Iturbide is barely mentioned. I am sure this is a book I will hear again.

No se trata de la vida de Hidalgo ni de Iturbide
Catón siempre entretiene, ya sea contando historietas cómicas como cuando nos narra la historia desde su perspectiva. Este libro lo recomiendo sin duda, sin embargo solo le doy cuatro estrellas porque:
1. Yo quería escuchar/leer historia de Hidalgo e Iturbide y así lo insinúa el título del libro. Sin embargo de las 20+ horas del audiolibro a Hidalgo lo matan en la segunda hora y de Iturbide solo hace breves menciones sin dar detalles de su vida.
El título del libro, basado en su contenido, yo lo cambiaría a “La Nueva España en el período del grito de Hidalgo hasta la proclamación de la constitución liberal de España”.
No esperen lectores encontrar información en este libro sobre la vida de Iturbide ni de cómo entró a la Ciudad de México como el consumador de La Independencia de México. El libro es excelente pero no trata de estos temas.
2. En el audiolibro la voz y lectura del narrador son excelentes, sin embargo, no lo califiqué con cinco porque hacia el final del libro pronuncia la “s” como pronuncian los españoles la “c” y la “z”. Desconozco el motivo ya que si hubiera querido pronunciar castellano como los españoles, nada que ver con pronunciar la “s” de esa forma. A mi en lo personal, que tengo un oído fino y rayo en la misofonía, me irritó un poco escuchar esas cacofonías.

Muy buen libro, lástima de narración
Es un libro poco tradicional, cortado en segmentos y salpicado de anécdotas que hacen atractivo el escuchar. Lo único malo es el narrador que no conoce el contexto ni el lenguaje de México y por lo mismo suena bastante mal, acartonado, sin chiste, pronunciando tan mal algunas palabras que da la impresión de que se trata de otro lugar pero no de México
