This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins | Audiobook
Jan 30, 201807:05:00Tap to summarizeListen to free audiobook with a 30 day free trial :https://esound.space/audibleTitle: This Will Be My UndoingAuthor: Morgan JerkinsNarrator: Morgan JerkinsFormat: UnabridgedLength: 7 hrs and 5 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-30-18Publisher: Harper AudioGenres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal MemoirsSummary:From one of the fiercest critics writing today, Morgan Jerkins' highly anticipated collection of linked essays interweaves her incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism with her own experiences to confront the very real challenges of being a black woman today - perfect for fans of Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists.Morgan Jerkins is only in her 20s, but she has already established herself as an insightful, brutally honest writer who isn't afraid of tackling tough, controversial subjects. In This Will Be My Undoing, she takes on perhaps one of the most provocative contemporary topics: What does it mean to "be" - to live as, to exist as - a black woman today? This is a book about black women, but it's necessary listening for all Americans.Doubly disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced, and marginalized, with devastating consequences, in ways both obvious and subtle that are rarely acknowledged in our country's larger discussion about inequality. In This Will Be My Undoing, Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large.Whether she's writing about Sailor Moon; Rachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don't "see color"; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of "the fast-tailed girl" and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the "Black Girl Magic" movement, Jerkins is compelling and revelatory.Contact: info@esound.space

On the Frontlines of the Television War by Terry Irving - editor | Audiobook
Jan 30, 201811:50:00Tap to summarizeListen to free audiobook with a 30 day free trial :https://esound.space/audibleTitle: On the Frontlines of the Television WarAuthor: Terry Irving - editor, Yasutsune HirashikiNarrator: Tetsuro Shigemastsu, Eric PollinsFormat: UnabridgedLength: 11 hrs and 50 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-30-18Publisher: Audible StudiosGenres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal MemoirsSummary:On the Frontlines of the Television War is the story of Yasutsune "Tony" Hirashiki's 10 years in Vietnam - beginning when he arrived in 1966 as a young freelancer with a 16mm camera but without a job or the slightest grasp of English and ending in the hectic fall of Saigon in 1975 when he was literally thrown on one of the last flights out. His memoir has all the exciting tales of peril, hardship, and close calls as the best of battle memoirs but it is primarily a story of very real and yet remarkable people: the soldiers who fought, bled, and died, and the reporters and photographers who went right to the frontlines to record their stories and memorialize their sacrifice.The great books about Vietnam journalism have been about print reporters, still photographers, and television correspondents, but if this was truly the first "television war", then it is time to hear the story of the cameramen who shot the pictures and the reporters who wrote the stories that the average American witnessed daily in their living rooms. An award-winning sensation when it was released in Japan in 2008, this book been completely re-created for an international audience.In 2008, the Japanese edition was published by Kodansha in two hardback volumes and titled I Wanted to Be Capa. It won the 2009 Oya Soichi Nonfiction Award - a prize usually reserved for much younger writers - and Kodansha almost doubled their initial print run to meet the demand. In that period, he was interviewed extensively, a documentary was filmed in which he returned to the people and places of his wartime experience, and a dramatization of his book was written and presented on NHK Radio. A Kodansha paperback was published in 2010 with an initial printing of 17,000 copies and continues to sell at a respectable pace.Contact: info@esound.space

After being abandoned by her mother for months at her grandmother's retirement community, she asks to be put into foster care.Surely she would fare better at a stable home than living with her mother?It turns out that it was not the storybook ending she had hoped for.

A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise by Sandra Allen | Audiobook
Jan 23, 201807:18:00Tap to summarizeListen to free audiobook with a 30 day free trial :https://esound.space/audibleTitle: A Kind of Mirraculas ParadiseAuthor: Sandra AllenNarrator: Sandra Allen, Pete SimonelliFormat: UnabridgedLength: 7 hrs and 18 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-23-18Publisher: Simon & Schuster AudioGenres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal MemoirsSummary:Dazzlingly, daringly written, marrying the thoughtful originality of Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts with the revelatory power of Neurotribes and The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, this propulsive, stunning book illuminates the experience of living with schizophrenia like never before.Sandra Allen did not know her uncle Bob very well. As a child, she had been told he was "crazy", that he had spent time in mental hospitals while growing up in Berkeley in the '60s and '70s. But Bob had lived a hermetic life in a remote part of California for longer than she had been alive, and what little she knew of him came from rare family reunions or odd, infrequent phone calls. Then in 2009 Bob mailed her his autobiography. Typewritten in all caps, a stream of error-riddled sentences over 60 single-spaced pages, the often incomprehensible manuscript proclaimed to be a "true story" about being "labeled a psychotic paranoid schizophrenic" and arrived with a plea to help him get his story out to the world.In A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise, Allen translates her uncle's autobiography, artfully creating a gripping coming-of-age story while sticking faithfully to the facts as he shared them. Lacing Bob's narrative with chapters providing greater contextualization, Allen also shares background information about her family, the culturally explosive time and place of her uncle's formative years, and the vitally important questions surrounding schizophrenia and mental health care in America more broadly. The result is a heartbreaking and sometimes hilarious portrait of a young man striving for stability in his life as well as his mind and an utterly unique lens into an experience that, to most people, remains unimaginable.Contact: info@esound.space

Winter by Karl Ove Knausgaard | Audiobook
Jan 23, 201805:10:00Tap to summarizeListen to free audiobook with a 30 day free trial :https://esound.space/audibleTitle: WinterAuthor: Karl Ove KnausgaardNarrator: Edoardo BalleriniFormat: UnabridgedLength: 5 hrs and 10 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-23-18Publisher: Recorded BooksGenres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal MemoirsSummary:The second volume in his autobiographical quartet based on the seasons, Winter is an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and letters addressed directly to Knaugsaard's unborn daughter2 December - It is strange that you exist, but that you don't know anything about what the world looks like. It's strange that there is a first time to see the sky, a first time to see the sun, a first time to feel the air against one's skin. It's strange that there is a first time to see a face, a tree, a lamp, pajamas, a shoe. In my life it almost never happens anymore. But soon it will. In just a few months, I will see you for the first time.In Winter, we rejoin the great Karl Ove Knausgaard as he waits for the birth of his daughter. In preparation for her arrival, he takes stock of the world, seeing it as if for the first time. In his inimitably sensitive style, he writes about the moon, water, messiness, owls, birthdays - to name just a handful of his subjects. These oh-so-familiar objects and ideas he fills with new meaning, taking nothing for granted or as given. New life is on the horizon, but the earth is also in hibernation, waiting for the warmer weather to return, and so a contradictory melancholy inflects his gaze.Startling, compassionate, and exquisitely beautiful, Knausgaard's writing is like nothing else. Somehow, he shows the world as it really is, at once mundane and sublime.Contact: info@esound.space

Eva Braun di Roberta Dalessandro | Audiolibro Gratuito
Jan 22, 201800:38:00Tap to summarizeAscolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su :https://esound.space/audibleTitolo: Eva BraunAutore: Roberta DalessandroNarratore: Alice Pagotto, Marcello PozzaFormato: UnabridgedDurata: 38 minsLingua: ItalianoData di pubblicazione: 01-22-18Editore: GoodMoodCategoria: Bios & Memoirs, CelebritiesRiepilogo:Eva Braun era una giovane donna di Monaco che proveniva da una famiglia borghese come molte altre. L'incontro con Adolf Hitler, l'uomo più potente della Germania nazista, condizionò la sua esistenza e tutte e sue scelte. Eva nutrì per il Fuhrer un amore incondizionato, nonostante lui la tenesse lontana da Berlino e dalla sua vita politica e si rifiutasse di prenderla in moglie o anche solo di mostrarsi pubblicamente insieme a lei.Eppure Eva scelse sempre di mettere il suo amore davanti a ogni cosa; alla fine della guerra, mentre il mondo scopriva gli aberranti crimini compiuti per volere del suo amante, pur potendo fuggire, Eva scelse di seguire Hitler fino alla fine, e di condividere con lui il suo destino di morte.La vita di Eva Braun resta sospesa tra luci e ombre, tra cieco amore e follia, che lacerano la figura di questa donna che fu una vittima ma anche una silente complice della pazzia di Adolf Hitler. Questo audioBook racconta le vicende della vita di Eva Braun e la contestualizza nel periodo storico in cui visse, che come sappiamo, fu tra i più bui del ventesimo secolo. È inoltre arricchito da contributi originali rinvenuti dopo la seconda guerra mondiale.©2017 GOODmood (P)2017 GOODmoodContatto: info@esound.space
