About this listen
PRÓLOGO DE CIRO GÓMEZ LEYVA
"Sin el testimonio y la memoria la civilización no avanza. Con estas páginas, Lourdes Mendoza nos regala su testimonio de las duras batallas que como mujer, como madre, como periodista ha librado para obtener justicia, preservar su honor y ser ejemplo para Dany, su hija. Con valentía, con profesionalismo, con emociones encontradas, Lourdes nos comparte la memoria de su lucha triunfante por la dignidad." -Andrés Pastrana, expresidente de Colombia.
La crítica dice:
"Los Lozoya se metieron con la persona equivocada. Trataron de sumirla y sumarla al pantano de hostigamiento y estigmatización que padece la prensa en nuestros días, despertando así a una periodista y madre aguerrida que los exhibió y venció en tribunales. Con la franqueza y claridad que la caracteriza, Lourdes comparte una historia que nos recuerda que lo personal también es político; que las mentiras acaban carreras (y vidas) enteras; y que la batalla por la libertad de expresión está más vigente que nunca." -Leopoldo Maldonado, director regional de artículo 19
"Este texto es mucho más que una narrativa escrita con un corazón dolorido, con la mano firme de una periodista injustamente lastimada en su dignidad por el poder. Se trata de una sincera y profunda reflexión sobre una cruenta lucha entre la ignominia que busca encubrirse con la mentira y el engaño, por un lado, y el empeño históricamente renovado por que aflore la verdad del otro. Este texto es su Antígona, expresión de una mujer mexicana, de una orgullosa madre resiliente y con la frente en alto ante el poder." -Emilio Rabasa, Doctor en Derecho
"La prosa de Lourdes Mendoza te atrapa por fluida y porque la respalda una información pesada por precisa. En el trasfondo está un hecho: en México lo normal es que ganen los corruptos. En esta ocasión la periodista (Lourdes) ya derrotó en primera y segunda instancia a Emilio Lozoya. También lo destrozó mediáticamente y sus fotografías mostrándolo en un restaurante de lujo lo tienen tras las rejas. Recomiendo esta crónica que alimenta la creencia de que en México sí puede haber justicia." -Sergio Aguayo, profesor investigador de el Colegio de México
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

"¿Por qué llegamos a este precipicio?" parecen preguntarse los mexicanos ante el desastre. La respuesta de Macario Schettino se reduce a un nombre: Andrés Manuel López Obrador. El autoritarismo, los atavismos, las ocurrencias y el desprecio por instituciones que han sido creadas a lo largo de décadas, han llevado al país a una ruina no solo económica, sino moral. Schettino aporta datos acerca de la economía del país y de los proyectos alucinantes del presidente.

El traidor es uno de los trabajos periodísticos más ambiciosos en la trayectoria de Anabel Hernández. Su historia se remonta a enero de 2011, cuando la contactó uno de los abogados de Vicente Zambada Niebla, mejor conocido como Vicentillo, quien enfrentaba un juicio en una corte de Chicago. La intención era compartir con la periodista documentos y hechos que ampliaban y esclarecían varios de los episodios que acababa de dar a conocer en Los señores del narco.

Al publicar México negro, nunca imaginé que, a 35 años de distancia, miles de lectores seguirían leyéndolo. Tampoco supuse la catástrofe que significaría la burocratización de la energía en México: Pemex es la única compañía petrolera quebrada en el mundo. Su insolvencia financiera puede destruir el crédito público de México. Ha sido, con algunas excepciones, una cantera de bandidos. ¿De qué les ha servido la expropiación petrolera de 1938 a más de 50 millones de mexicanos sepultados, hoy en día, en la pobreza?

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement.

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

Story
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.
