    Summary:
    San Francisco, 1915. As America teeters on the brink of world war, Charmian and her husband, famed novelist Jack London, wrestle with genius and desire, politics and marital competitiveness. Charmian longs to be viewed as an equal partner who put her own career on hold to support her husband, but Jack doesn't see it that way...until Charmian is pulled from the audience during a magic show by escape artist Harry Houdini, a man enmeshed in his own complicated marriage. Suddenly, charmed by the attention Houdini pays her and entranced by his sexual magnetism, Charmian's eyes open to a world of possibilities that could be her escape. As Charmian grapples with her urge to explore the forbidden, Jack's increasingly reckless behavior threatens her dedication. Now torn between two of history's most mysterious and charismatic figures, she must find the courage to forge her own path, even as she fears the loss of everything she holds dear.

    Resumen:
    Una novela que nos sumerge en la historia de la Europa Central del siglo XX, la ciudad de Viena y el largo peregrinaje del pueblo judío a través de una saga familiar en pos de un sueño: alcanzar la Tierra Prometida. Esther, hija de una familia de orígenes judíos, nace el mismo día en que se firma el Tratado de Versalles, que pone fin a la devastadora Primera Guerra Mundial. Su padre, el doctor Paul Dukas, obsesionado con su ascenso personal y profesional, y convertido al cristianismo, descubrirá muy pronto que el pasado judío de un hombre no se perdona fácilmente. La historia de Esther, así como la de los Goldman - portadores del Talmud de Viena - o la de los mellizos Gessner - que ven en el auge del partido nazi un instrumento idóneo para medrar - , es el hilo conductor de esta apasionante novela que muestra los avatares del pueblo judío en un período crucial del siglo XX: desde la promesa, finalmente frustrada, de los felices años veinte, al ascenso al poder de Adolf Hitler y el posterior conflicto que asoló Europa. Una etapa de continuos cambios políticos y sociales durante la cual los protagonistas de esta épica y al mismo tiempo intimista saga familiar aman, odian, ríen, lloran... y mueren, todo ello en pos de un sueño perenne: el de alcanzar Eretz Israel, la mítica tierra prometida. G.H. Guarch, el celebrado autor de títulos tan exitosos como El testamento armenio y Shalom Sefarad, brinda al oyente un imponente fresco coral en el que se dan cita las pasiones más intensas con el telón de fondo de una era convulsa y dramática, y en cuya trama comparecen numerosos personajes reales, como Sigmund Freud o el propio Führer nazi. Unos y otros se erigen en símbolos de un periodo histórico que, como un espejo roto, nos permite vislumbrar quiénes fuimos - y somos - realmente. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

    Summary:
    Growing up in 1930s Brooklyn, Florence Fein will do anything to escape the confining values of her family and her city, and create a life of meaning and consequence. When a new job and a love affair lead her to Moscow, she doesn't think twice about abandoning America - only to discover, years later, that America has abandoned her. Now, as her son Julian travels back to Moscow - entrusted to stitch together a murky transcontinental oil deal - he must dig into Florence's past to discover who his mother really was and what she became. He must also persuade his own son, Lenny, to abandon his risky quest for prosperity in the cutthroat Russian marketplace. As he traces a thread from Depression-era America, through the collective housing and work camps of Stalin's USSR, to the glittering, oil-rich world of New Russia, Julian finally begins to understand the role he has played - as a father and as a son. Epic in sweep and intimate in detail, The Patriots is both a compelling portrait of the entangled relationship between America and Russia and a beautifully crafted story of three generations of one family caught between the forces of history and the consequences of past choices.

    Resumen:
    "Si El tiempo entre costuras descubrió el Protectorado Español de Marruecos, El fuego del flamboyán evoca magistralmente, a través de una fascinante saga familiar, el contraste entre las vidas de la Galicia profunda y su próspera emigración a la sensual Cuba de la primera mitad del siglo xx." En la Galicia rural y convulsa de la dictadura del general Primo de Rivera, un puñado de personajes tratan de vivir según sus propias convicciones en los días previos al advenimiento de la República. Pero llegado el momento, las circunstancias les obligarán a dejar España con destino a Cuba; los unos porque les persiguen las izquierdas, los otros porque desean darles caza las derechas. La exultante y próspera Habana de entonces supondrá un abierto contraste con la fría tierra de la que proceden. La isla es luz, sensualidad, modernidad, fortuna, ritmo, y abundancia. El árbol del fuego será testigo de que la mezcla de razas y el tórrido ambiente gobiernan los sentidos. Antonio, abogado liberal y culto, esconde un secreto guardado bajo llave durante años que, de revelarse, supondría un escándalo para la aristocracia de los años treinta. El atractivo y seductor Tino regresa a Galicia para casarse; la vida provinciana choca con su espíritu libre y combativo. Junto a ellos, cuatro mujeres excepcionales: Elisa, que conforme va cumpliendo años cobrará paulatina conciencia de su fortaleza interior; Elvira, la viva esencia de la mujer de antaño, recia, trabajadora, comprometida, capaz de matar por amor; Nélida es la sensualidad cubana, el exotismo más carnal; y Casilda encarna la rebeldía, la ruptura de moldes y ataduras sociales. Crónica de la emigración gallega a Cuba durante la Segunda República, en El fuego del flamboyán, la pasión, el abandon, y el maltrato están presentes. Pero el honor, los valores, y la lealtad son la esencia de esta novela coral escrita a partir de hechos reales y basada en los testimonios de numerosos hombres y mujeres, unos famosos y otros desconocidos, que vivieron una de las épocas más emocionantes y traumáticas de nuestra historia reciente.

    Summary:
    Three women, once enemies. Their secrets will unite them. The First World War is over. The war-torn area of Flanders near Ypres is no longer home to troops but groups of tourists. Controversial battlefield tourism now brings hundreds of people to the area, all desperate to witness firsthand where their loved ones fell. At the Hotel de la Paix in the small village of Hoppestadt, three women arrive, searching for traces of the men they have loved and lost. Ruby is just 21, a shy Englishwoman looking for the grave of her husband. Alice is only a little older but brimming with confidence; she has travelled all the way from America, convinced her brother is in fact still alive. Then there's Martha and her son, Otto, who are not all they seem to be.... The three women in Liz Trenow's In Love and War may have very different backgrounds, but they are united in their search for reconciliation: to resolve themselves to what the war took from them but also to what life might still promise for the future....

    Saint-Jean-d'Acre, 1203. Une nef génoise arrive à Marseille. Elle débarque un templier infidèle, une jeune veuve, un arbalétrier et un clerc en mission pour Aliénor d'Aquitaine. Cette dernière, à la veille de sa mort, a émis l'ultime désir de voir le saint linceul du Christ. Une lutte sourde s'engage autour de cette précieuse relique, qui échappe tour à tour à ceux qui la pourchassent. Certains souhaitent la posséder pour son caractère sacré, d'autres veulent s'en servir pour asseoir leur pouvoir perdu. Guilhem d'Ussel se retrouve, malgré lui et pour venger les siens, emporté dans ce combat. Les destins se croisent à Rouen, où Arthur, le jeune duc de Bretagne, est tenu prisonnier par son oncle Jean sans Terre. La ville devient le théâtre des intrigues, des meurtres, des complots qui se trament autour de la sainte relique. Qui finira par la posséder ? Arthur sera-t-il délivré par ses fidèles ?
