About this listen
«Mi querido Martín, la vida de un hombre es una suma; nada es vacuo, nada es vano, nada es accesorio. Cultiva dos cosas: la memoria y la voluntad.»
Hernán Cortés toma la pluma nuevamente hacia el final de su vida. Esta vez no se dirige al emperador ni a un numeroso y anónimo lector, sino a su primogénito, Martín Cortés, hijo de la Malinche, para contarle su vida. Le habla de su infancia en Medellín, de sus días de estudiante en Salamanca y, por supuesto, de su llegada al Nuevo Mundo y de sus amores con doña Marina. Acompañamos a Martín en el descubrimiento de sus padres. Hallamos a una mujer dulce y determinada, arquitecta del México moderno. Encontramos a un conquistador victorioso que detesta la guerra y a un hombre poderoso que desconfía del poder, pues para él es sólo un medio para acceder a la libertad más plena.
Cortés le confiesa a su hijo que ha sido muchos hombres, que tiene el alma vagabunda y que ama conquistar. Pero su conquista más grande no fue la de un territorio, sino la de la memoria. Gracias a su ingenio pudo salvar para la eternidad la crónica de su aventura por el Nuevo Mundo, y así dejó escrita,bajo el manto protector de un artificioso seudónimo, su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España.
Con esta novela, el historiador Christian Duverger completa la desmitificación de Hernán Cortés. Rigurosamente basados en los archivos y las crónicas del siglo XVI, los hechos de esta autobiografía ficcional reflejan a un literato, a un hombre del Renacimiento absolutamente cautivado por elmundo indígena y, sobre todo, convencido de que el mestizaje era la clave para forjar una realidad mejor. Memorias de Hernán nos recuerda que, en ocasiones, sólo la ficción puede desentrañar la historia verdadera.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Se cumplen cinco siglos de la Conquista de México, y a lo largo de este tiempo Hernán Cortés ha desempeñado un claro papel en el imaginario colectivo de la nación: el de villano. Sin embargo, para Christian Duverger esta apreciación no podría ser más injusta. Lejos del ambicioso y sanguinario invasor que los libros de texto han urdido, el historiador francés presenta en esta biografía en dos tomos a un humanista, un hombre de armas y de letras que vio en las tierras americanas la posibilidad, no de trasplantar una copia de la sociedad castellana, sino de inventar un mundo nuevo. Para Cortés, el mestizaje era la clave de este proyecto cultural.

En la base de operaciones, una pequeña isla del mar Egeo, la vida del corsario español se cruzará en turbio triángulo con la de los propietarios, el barón Katelios y su esposa: una seductora mujer madura que busca, con fría desesperación, el modo de escapar a su destino.

Nueva España era un territorio gigantesco, comprendía de lo que ahora es el sur de Estados Unidos hasta Nicaragua. Contrario a las aburridas lecciones escolares sobre la época virreinal, lejos de los héroes y villanos de monografía, estas minutas nos recuerdan que, entre la llegada de Cortés y la Independencia proclamada por Miguel Hidalgo, existió un mundo complejo y contrastante que apenas se mantuvo en precario equilibrio. Ecos de Nueva España es una apasionante y colorida travesía por los siglos que moldearon nuestro tiempo.

Nos gustan las mentiras. Tenemos la facultad de mentir, la capacidad de construir mentiras y la maravillosa inclinación de creer en ellas. Ese es el inicio y la premisa de Falsificar la historia. Un recorrido de miles de años por la historia, la filosofía y la religión; una aventura a través de la psicología individual y la de las masas, un viaje que no deja de moverse entre la realidad y los mitos, y que nos lleva a cuestionarnos TODO LO QUE HEMOS CREÍDO.

Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

Story
Hace 13.000 años la evolución de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzó a tomar rumbos diferentes. La temprana domesticación de animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en el Creciente Fértil, China, Mesoamérica y otras zonas geográficas otorgó una ventaja inicial a sus habitantes. Sin embargo, los orígenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganadería son solo una parte de la explicación de los diferentes destinos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con más probabilidades de desarrollo, supervivencia y poder bélico.

En los años 1942 y 1943, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, buzos de combate italianos hundieron o dañaron catorce barcos aliados en Gibraltar y la bahía de Algeciras. En esta novela, inspirada en hechos reales, sólo algunos personajes y situaciones son imaginarios. Elena Arbués, una librera de veintisiete años, encuentra una madrugada mientras pasea por la playa a uno de esos buzos, desvanecido entre la arena y el agua. Al socorrerlo, la joven ignora que esa determinación cambiará su vida y que el amor será sólo parte de una peligrosa aventura.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Espectacular!
Un libro histórico que nos acerca a todas la vicisitudes de la conquista de Nueva España. Aparte la narración es envolvente. Te sientes en Santo Domingo, en Veracruz, en Tenochtitlan, súper recomendado. Uno de mis libros favoritos!
