Juanita Castro
About this listen
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.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

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.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Story
The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Toys and games have long been a part of childhood, but the 20th century saw the rise of an entire industry devoted to the business of play, one that would constantly evolve over the years. In the six lectures of The History of Toys, 1900 to the Present, consultant and toy industry expert Chris Byrne—also known as The Toy Guy®—will take you on a journey through the world of toys from the Edwardian era to our current moment. Beginning with the birth of the mass-market toy industry, you’ll trace the many transformations of toys and our shifting theories of play and childhood development.

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

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. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Interesting read
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.
