Sinopse

In "Spirit-of-Iron (Manitou-pewabic)," Harwood Steele masterfully weaves a narrative that intertwines Indigenous mythology with the harsh realities of life in early 20th-century America. This poignant novel explores the intersection of modernity and tradition through its rich, lyrical prose and deeply evocative imagery. Steele's literary style is characterized by its vivid descriptions and nuanced character development, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the emotional landscape of the characters, particularly the struggles of Indigenous people against the backdrop of industrial encroachment and cultural erasure. The context of the book, set against a time of rapid technological change and social upheaval, speaks to themes of resilience and identity as it brilliantly captures the spirit and tenacity of its characters. Harwood Steele, a passionate advocate for Indigenous voices and cultures, draws on his deep appreciation of Native American history and folklore to inform his work. His personal experiences and scholarly pursuits have shaped his understanding of the complexities surrounding Indigenous identities. Steele's commitment to amplifying these often-misunderstood narratives is evident throughout this novel, as he deftly crafts a story that challenges dominant historical narratives and foregrounds Indigenous wisdom. "Spirit-of-Iron (Manitou-pewabic)" is not merely a work of fiction; it is a vital exploration of cultural survival and resistance that will resonate with readers interested in the intersections of history, identity, and environmental themes. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a profound and thought-provoking reading experience that illuminates the enduring strength of Indigenous cultures.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Born in the crushing poverty of Valparaíso, Isabella "La Víbora" Velasco clawed her way to the bloody pinnacle of the international cocaine trade. From the violent streets of Nueva Esperanza to the sun-drenched, bullet-riddled avenues of Costa del Sol, she built an empire on innovation, ruthlessness, and a mountain of corpses. They called her La Madrina, the Godmother, a woman who commanded loyalty through fear and eliminated rivals with chilling precision, pioneering terrifying tactics like the motorcycle assassin and the infamous "Sol Marina Mall Mayhem." 
    But as her power grew, so did her paranoia, her cruelty touching even her own family, turning her sons into reluctant heirs of a cursed dynasty. Hunted by Colombian cartels, pursued by relentless US federal agents like Frank Miller, and betrayed from within, Isabella's reign of terror could not last forever. "Queen of the Sun Coast" is a shocking, fictionalized saga of ambition, power, and the devastating price of a life steeped in violence, inspired by one of history's most notorious female crime lords.

    This novel by Maylis Besserie, the first of her Irish trilogy, shows us Samuel Beckett at the end of his life in 1989, living in Le Tiers-Temps retirement home. It is as if Beckett has come to live in one of his own stage productions, peopled with strange, unhinged individuals, waiting for the end of days.
    Yell, Sam, If You Still Can is filled with voices. From diary notes to clinical reports to daily menus, cool medical voices provide a counterpoint to Beckett himself, who reflects on his increasingly fragile existence. He remains playful, rueful, and aware of the dramatic irony that has brought him to live in the room next door to Winnie, surrounded by grotesques like Hamm or Lucky, abandoned by his wife Suzanne who died before him.
    Besserie delights in Beckett's bilingualism and plays back and forth between the francophone and anglophone properties of language, summoning James Joyce as Beckett reminisces about evenings the two spent together singing, talking and drinking. Largely written in the library of the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Besserie has kept the hum of Irish voices throughout this work.
    Yell, Sam, If You Still Can won the "Goncourt du premier roman", the prestigious French literary prize for first time novelists, just before the country went into lockdown. Besserie is now planning a further two novels that will explore the links between Ireland and France and is touted as the new star of the French literary world.

    🎷 In the sultry shadows of 1918 New Orleans, death has a rhythm all its own. 
    When a string of brutal, axe-wielding murders shatters the city’s uneasy peace, Detective Louis Beaulieu is thrust into a chilling hunt for a phantom whose only calling cards are shattered skulls and bloodstained jazz notes. As fear grips the streets, the elusive Axeman sends a nightmarish ultimatum to the public: play jazz through the night—or face the blade. 
    With each new body, the line between madness and music blurs. Beneath the surface of this city steeped in secrets, something darker is composing a symphony of terror. Beaulieu must navigate a twisted maze of smoke-filled clubs, cryptic messages, and haunted minds—where every clue is a note in a macabre composition, and silence could be the prelude to death. 
    As the killer’s melody crescendos, Beaulieu faces a truth more sinister than he ever imagined—one that threatens to consume him and the soul of New Orleans itself. 
    The Axeman of New Orleans is a heart-pounding historical thriller where jazz and horror intertwine. Prepare to leave the lights on—and the music playing. 🔊 
    Some symphonies should never be heard...🎶
