  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the heart of the twentieth century, when America wrestled with racial injustice and foreign wars, a legend was born who would shake the world—not merely with his fists, but with his unwavering conscience. 
  This is the extraordinary journey of Muhammad Ali. 
  From Cassius Clay, a young boy in Kentucky whose stolen bicycle became the catalyst for greatness, to Muhammad Ali, the three-time heavyweight champion who stood against the most powerful government on earth. This audiobook chronicles the rise of a man who transformed boxing from simple sport into a theater of social revolution. 
  Witness the making of "The Greatest"—his Olympic triumph, the shocking upset of Sonny Liston, his conversion to Islam, and his principled stand against the Vietnam War that cost him the prime years of his career. Experience the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman, where Ali crafted the immortal "rope-a-dope" strategy that stunned the world. 
  But this is more than a sports biography. It's the story of a poet-warrior who declared "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and lived those words both in the ring and in life. A man who proved that true courage isn't measured by victories, but by standing firm on principle when everything is at stake. 
  Muhammad Ali didn't just fight opponents—he fought injustice, racism, and war itself. 
  Through intimate details never before told, discover how a young man afraid of flying became the most fearless voice of his generation. How he transformed pain into purpose, anger into justice, and became a symbol of human dignity that transcends sport, race, and time. 
  This is the definitive story of Muhammad Ali... The Greatest forever.

  Making Love with the Land - Essays

  Joshua Whitehead

  A moving and deeply personal excavation of Indigenous beauty and passion in a suffering world 
   
   
   
  In prose that is evocative and sensual, unabashedly queer and visceral, raw and autobiographical, Joshua Whitehead writes of an Indigenous body in pain, coping with trauma. Deeply rooted within, he reaches across the anguish to create a new form of storytelling he calls "biostory"—beyond genre, and entirely sovereign. Through this narrative perspective, Making Love with the Land recasts mental health struggles and our complex emotional landscapes from a nefarious parasite on his (and our) well-being to kin, even a relation, no matter what difficulties they present to us. Whitehead ruminates on loss and pain without shame or ridicule but rather highlights waypoints for personal transformation. Written in the aftermath of heartbreak, before and during the pandemic, Making Love with the Land illuminates this present moment in which both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are rediscovering old ways and creating new ones about connection with and responsibility toward each other and the land. 
   
   
   
  Intellectually audacious and emotionally compelling, Whitehead shares his devotion to the world in which we live and brilliantly—even joyfully—maps his experience on the land that has shaped stories, histories, and bodies from time immemorial.

  Good wives don’t fall in love with other men. That's what Amber Rae—who also narrates this program—told herself when, in the midst of building a home with her husband in Mexico, she met the man she knew she was meant to spend the rest of her life with.Maybe in another life, she thought. But the truth was, for years, she smiled and strived her way through a sexless and lonely marriage, never admitting her unhappiness to anyone—not even to herself. She thought that if she just tried harder, everything would fall into place. But as the voice inside her grew louder, she realized she had two choices: keep pretending everything’s fine and her needs don’t matter, or confront everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and her own limits. LOVEABLE is a raw and intimate journey of a woman breaking free from the roles that confined her. This memoir isn't about trading one life or one man for another—it’s about the painful, beautiful process of coming home to oneself. And this isn't just Amber’s story―it's a rallying cry to stop being good so you can start being free.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials

  Pablo Picasso - The Famous...

  Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it. 
  Picasso’s personal life was filled with struggles, but some of those were likely self-imposed. From records, we learn that he had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and was extremely abusive in several of his relationships, dominating the women he slept with in kinky, sadistic ways. His children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines. 
  Despite of the dysfunctionality in his personal and family life, his artwork reflected something new and fresh. His concepts of color, contrast, and composition have inspired many. And in a variety of paintings, an underlying rebel message against totalitarian regimes and the cruelty of warfare can be seen. Having lived through many of the horrors of the Spanish war, as well as other 20th-century conflicts, the painter showed both style and morale in his works and has left a legacy that can be studied by the masses.

  Bubsie and the Boys - The first...

  In the winter of 1925, a pair of 21-year-old men drove out of Perth in a small second-hand Citroen nicknamed “Bubsie” headed for Darwin. At the time, no motor vehicle had ever drive to Darwin from Perth and their borrowed Citroen had less horsepower than a modern-day lawn mower. There were no serviced roads north of Meekatharra and few petrol stations. With most of the routes north unmapped cattle station tracks, the boys—Nevill Westwood and Greg Davies—would need to rely on the generosity of cattle station managers for food and fuel. 
  Getting to Darwin was adventure enough, but their journey took an unexpected turn when a car dealer encouraged them to keep driving to the east coast instead of returning to Perth via steam ship. It was a journey that would make Australian motoring history—the first car to drive around Australia—and the original vehicle is now housed at the National Museum as a vehicle of national significance.
