Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 315
Listeners return to the world of Severian, now the Autarch of Urth, as he leaves the planet on one of the huge spaceships of the alien Hierodules to travel across time and space to face his greatest test, to become the legendary New Sun or die. The strange, rich, original spaceship scenes give way to travels in time, wherein Severian revisits times and places which fill in parts of the background of the four-volume work, that will thrill and intrigue particularly listeners who enjoyed the earlier books.

Jonathan Davis is a master storyteller

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 29
In the summer of 1936, James Agee and Walker Evans set out on assignment for Fortune magazine to explore the daily lives of sharecroppers in the South. Their journey would prove an extraordinary collaboration and a watershed literary event when Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was first published in 1941 to enormous critical acclaim. This unsparing record of place, the people who shaped the land, and the rhythm of their lives is intensely moving and unrelentingly honest, and today, it stands as a poetic tract of its time.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 32
If socialists and Wall Street bankers can agree on anything, it is the extreme rationalism of capital. Ignoring the motive force of the spirit, capitalism rejects the awe-inspiring divine for the economics of supply and demand. Eugene McCarraher challenges this conventional view. Capitalism, he argues, is full of sacrament, whether or not it is acknowledged. Capitalist enchantment first flowered in the fields and factories of England and was brought to America by Puritans and evangelicals whose doctrine made ample room for industry and profit.

Horrible narration
Revisado: 12-18-21
A laudable scholarly work marred in this audible version by a pretentious and inept narrator who uses the same / cadence on every / sentence and sounds like an incompetent actor attempting to mimic William Shatner acting serious as Captain Kirk; not to mention the narrator’s risible habit of pronouncing ever quote by a British person as if he were a middle school thespian trying on a London Shakespearean accent, including, for example, the Scottish Carlyle, and of pronouncing any name sounding vaguely French or Italian (no matter if the person was an American citizen) like Inspector Clousseau.
The narrator ought, out of shame, to donate his payment to an acting school and take a vow of silence. Any decent high school drama student could give a better reading.
