Publisher's summary
Ismael María González Arias habla en esta novela de la patria, pero según la entendía Stendhal, cuando dejó dicho: «La verdadera patria es aquella en la que me encuentro más personas que se me parecen». Así entonces “El tiempo de Manolo” es un minucioso relato biográfico de la juventud del autor, etapa en la que tuvo a bien entregarse al disfrute pleno del placer –y al que, como tiene demostrado de sobra, sigue entregado en la actualidad–. Valiéndose de un estilo narrativo torrencial y vivísimo, González Arias descubre por primera vez lo que para muchos va a resultar imperdonable: los misteriosos detalles de la vida de un pueblo allá por 1975 donde, como en todos los lados, los habitantes valen muncho más por lo que son que por lo que parecen. La amistad, el amor, el sexo, les drogas y la muerte son, en resumidas cuentas, los ingredientes básicos en este «plato fuerte» que no tiene ninguna intención moralizante pero sí una clara vocación de homenaje, público y notorio, a una forma de vivir que, en ciertas circunstancias, resulta la única posible.

Perspectivas diferentes
Este libro es un tanto difícil de reseñar, ya que su contenido es literalmente una biografía y al mismo tiempo una historia de las travesuras de unos jóvenes en tiempos distintos y lugares distintos, porque como se explica, la vida de pueblo/rancho es excesivamente diferente a la de ciudad, no obstante, no puedo pensar ni pensare igual que el autor, ya que siento que durante su narrativa, intenta justificar sus malos hábitos, por la juventud, el tiempo y costumbres que antiguamente se tenían que para mí personalmente, son las que han acabado destruyendo en parte lo que es ahora la sociedad y en lo cual estoy dispuesto a explicar.
Como él y algunos de los personajes nombrados, y sobre todo con el respecto y la disculpa a los creyentes en cualquier religión, yo igual soy capaz de pasarme el sermón de un padre o de un libro relacionado con lo mismo por el arco del triunfo, ya que como el mismo dice con otras palabras, hay que tomar con sabiduría todo lo que "enseña" la religión y no descarriarse, haciendo referencia a el fanatismo de algunos muchos de creerse tamaño barbaridades de la iglesia o supuesta entidad divina plasmada en un libro sin dar fe de quién demonios habrá escrito tales cosas y que acaban siendo a la larga, en todas las familias de hijos jóvenes, creer ciegamente en algo que no ven, pero lo que intento decir con todo esto es que, a raíz de pensar de forma similar, tampoco podemos justificar el libertinaje de nuestras acciones de más jóvenes, y después decir que benditos los que sufrieron un calvario por actitudes como estas, para luego decir más adelante que una persona vive amargada por no tener a nadie con quien compartir un suceso de tus amigos, conectando hechos que te marcan en la vida como humillaciones o golpes de los compañeros de escuela, pueda decir que no afecte, normalizando así la violencia, como se ha estado normalizando y arrastrando en estos últimos tiempos, por ende, para mí es difícil reseñar el contenido porque no puedo comprender ni de lejos la forma de vida incivilizada de algunos, que si bien no buscaría un castigo, si buscaría una reflexión ante lo dicho y consciencia ante todo de que la moneda tiene más de una cara.
Obviamente nadie es un santo, todos cometemos errores y como humanos los seguimos cometiendo, por eso es imposible recriminar, es mejor reflexionar, analizar y que puede ser mejor en lo que todavía muchos dicen que es la sociedad, yo personalmente ahora la llamaría la jungla, porque a raíz de muchas costumbres absurdas y falta de sentido común de pensar más allá de nosotros mismos, el humano ha optado por destruirnos a nosotros mismos.
La narración es excelente y la historia es muy buena por lo que puedo recomendar escucharla e intentar ver las perspectivas que pueden tener otras personas, claro, podemos dar una opinión y una crítica, pero siempre desde el lado del respeto, sin buscar convencer a los demás que tenemos la verdad absoluta.

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.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.
