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.

The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the trial of the century".

Story
The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

Engaging History of France
Listening to this audiobook felt like embarking on a thrilling time travel adventure, guided by Dominic Hayes's compelling storytelling. This audiobook unravelled France's rich tapestry from its enigmatic Celtic beginnings, through the dramatic epochs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, right up to the throes of modernity. Hayes has a knack for making history come alive, weaving facts with vivid narrative that captivated me every step of the way. As someone deeply fascinated by my French heritage, I was delighted by the deep dives into the nation's transformation under Roman rule, the tumult of revolutions, and the cultural explosions that shaped the France we know today. This isn't just another history book; it's a journey through time, rendered in such detail and enthusiasm that it's impossible not to be drawn in. Whether you're a history buff or just casually curious about how France became the beacon of culture and politics it is, this audiobook is an absolute gem.

Viva la France!!
I am actually from France, so I was very excited to listen to this audiobook about our rich history. I have listened to other audiobooks from Dominic Hayes and they are always exceptionally done. In this audiobook, Hayes brings tons of insight and information to the listener about the Pre-Roman landscape, the grip of Rome, the impact of Romes collapse, war, plagues, and so much more! I enjoyed this book very much and I am sure you will too!
