Publisher's summary
Este libro relata la vida de una familia y unos acontecimientos que cambiaron para siempre la historia de América Latina. Como nadie más podía hacerlo, Juanita nos adentra en el mundo familiar de los Castro, desde su infancia y juventud hasta las nuevas generaciones, pasando por la gesta contra Batista, la Revolución y el posterior desencanto de muchos. A lo largo de este fascinante relato desfilan los míticos personajes de la Revolución Cubana. Fidel y Raúl Castro, Camilo Cienfuegos, Ernesto “Che” Guevara y Celia Sánchez, entre otros, muestran aquí su faceta menos conocida. Juanita lleva más de cincuenta años guardando un doloroso secreto que hasta sus hermanos desconocen. He aquí el valiente relato de quien ha decidido revelarlo todo.

Artículo destacado: Personajes con iniciativas sociales que han cambiado el mundo
Sus vidas y obras inspiran, ilusionan, deslumbran, desilusionan e invitan a no rendirse por trivialidades en una época marcada por la pandemia. Por esta selección de audiolibros desfilan deportistas, políticos, víctimas, revolucionarios, activistas y varios más. Guevara, Merkel, Frankl, Davis, Frank, Zapata y Jebb son algunos de los personajes que queremos recomendarte. Lo que todos tienen en común es que han sido fieles a determinada causa.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9
The American story is a story of progress. We’re taught that as time moves forward–and movements for civil rights come and go–America gets better, and better, and better. But the story isn’t that straightforward. Because often, on the heels of what looks like progress, comes backlash. People in power find ways to return things to the way they were before. These moments prove that progress isn’t linear or inevitable. Our standard narratives about American progress aren’t quite true. Backlash offers a new narrative.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 240
In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell--and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,591
At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians - many of them young women from small towns across the South - were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 484
This landmark book, first published in 1978, remains one of the most influential books in the Social Sciences, particularly Ethnic Studies and Postcolonialism. Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism", which he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East. In Orientalism Said claimed a "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture."

What did you love best about Fidel y Raul, mis hermanos [Fidel and Raul, My Brothers]?
This book had an interesting point of view. I understand why she did it, but I found the gringo accents of the CIA agents really annoying.

Interesante
Nunca me había interesado el tema de Cuba. Aunque soy de PR pero eso no afectó a mi generación por qué para ese tiempo era adolescente y ya sabemos como son los adolescentes. Pero me gustó escuchar la versión de un familiar de Fidel, me gusto q fue neutral. Que pena q se distanciara de su familia. Recomiendo la lectura de este libro.

Otra versión de los hechos
Siempre es bueno saber de todas las partes de un hecho-etapa histórica.
Definitivamente ha sido enriquecedor para mi saber de la historia contada desde la perspectiva de este personaje. Conocer la otra cara de la moneda... especialmente del Che Guevara.
Recomiendo escucharlo

Great work of fiction
What did you love best about Fidel y Raul, mis hermanos [Fidel and Raul, My Brothers]?
It was somewhat of a comedy, if you are familiar with the protagonists. Juanita came up with a fantastic work of fiction.
What could Juanita Castro have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Well...she could have told the truth but then I would not have laughed as much.
Have you listened to any of Tatiana Vecino???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have no basis to compare...I had never heard of her.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The fictional Castro Family, as seen by the eyes of Juanita, the greatest fiction writer of all times.
