Acerca de esta escucha
Bull Vaulter is an absorbing novel, particularly appropriate for our time, set in 2100 BCE, that interweaves adventure, passion, love, wisdom, and women's goddess spirituality as practiced some 4,000 years ago on Keft (Ancient Crete) and Kalliste (Santorini). Ms. Tieken was inspired by the writings of the late UCLA archeologist/mythologist Dr. Marija Gimbutas and the excavations of Akrotiri on Santorini by Dr. Christos Doumas and the late Dr. Spyridon Marinatos as chronicled in Dr. Charles Pellegrino's novel Unearthing Atlantis: An Archaeological Odyssey.
Join Alena, famed Bull Vaulter from Keft, as she sails to the Peloponnesus for a stellar performance with her fellow vaulters from their island culture; meets (under the most horrid circumstances) the Kurgan warrior Jahal; studies with the famed healer Aesclevius and his herbalist wife, Myra; and discovers the special talents bestowed upon her by the goddess. Alena's is an exhilarating journey that vividly describes the contrasting cultures of that Bronze Age period as it follows Crete's famous bull vaulter on her path to fulfill her fated destiny.

Studies have shown that developing an “atomic habit” - just doing a few minutes a day of whatever skill or habit you want to take on can be more than enough to engrain it into our lives. Therefore, we have transformed timeless, legendary stories into 10-minute, bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the youths but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.

In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with 18-year-old Jesus changes everything.

In the ancient moors of Scotland, the king of Calidon lies on his deathbed, cursed by a ring that cannot be removed from his finger. When a mysterious fey stranger appears to save the king, he also carries a secret that could tear the royal family apart. The kingdom's only hope will lie with two young men raised worlds apart. Aric is the beloved heir to the throne of Calidon; Albaric is clearly of noble origin yet strangely out of place. The Oddling Prince is a tale of brothers whose love and loyalty to each other defies impending warfare, sundering seas, fated hatred, and the very course of time itself.
