The Trial of Anna Thalberg - A...

Eduardo Sangarcía

Winner of the 2020 Mauricio Achar Award 
 
 
 
Does evil lurk in the shadows of the forest or within the human heart? Eduardo Sangarcía's tale of one woman's trial opens the door to deeper horrors. 
 
 
 
Anna Thalberg is a villager shunned for her red hair and provocative beauty, so when she is dragged from her home and accused of witchcraft, her neighbors do not intervene. Only Klaus, her husband, and Father Friedrich, a priest experiencing a crisis of faith, set out to Würzburg to prove her innocence. There, locked in a prison tower, Anna faces isolation and torture while anxiety builds over strange happenings within the city walls. Can the two men convince the Church inquisitors to release Anna, or will she burn at the stake? 
 
 
 
The Trial of Anna Thalberg is a tale of religious persecution, superstition, and suffering during the Protestant Reformation. While mapping the medieval fear of occultism and demons, it delves into enduring human concerns: the oppression of women, the inhumanity of institutions, and the question of God's existence. Frantic in pace and experimental in form, this is an unforgettable debut from Mexican author Eduardo Sangarcía.

Tree - The Sixth Element

Anônimo

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
The story TREE-The Sixth Element has evolved and is inspired by many historical facts. I believe that this story acknowledges the bond between man and nature. My intention in writing this book is to raise awareness about the Five Elements (The Panchabhootas) among the new generation. In ancient times, people worshipped the Panchabhootas; Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and the Sky for their protection and satisfaction. 
More than 3,000 years ago, people believed in Sanatana Dharma and they were worshipping Panchabhootas. 
Just as humans can develop habits through continuous exposure, plants too can exhibit habituation and become conditioned or ‘addicted’ to certain stimuli over time. 
This is a literary work and a peek into the historical nexus that beautifully portrays human experiences through different eras.  
With profound gratitude, I dedicate TREE-The Sixth Element to the readers.
