  War and Peace Book 03: 1805

  Leo Tolstoy

  War and Peace (Russian: ????? ? ???, Voyna i mir; in original orthography: ????? ? ????, Voyna i mir") is an epic novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy's time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (Summary by Wikipedia)

  Now & Then Redux - Two Long...

  As its title suggests, Now & Then is an urgent plea to revisit the present in relation to the past—to bear in mind the admonition that “The past is never dead. It’s not even past” (William Faulkner). Lurking behind the warning is a ponderous question that haunts this collection of stories and essays: Are we going to have to relive it all over again—the era of racial, ethnic, and national tensions that made the 1930s such a terrifying decade in the history of western societies? In two stories and two essays, Salah el Moncef conjures up a set of fearful symmetries between the flimsy diversity and globalism of “Now,” and the authoritarian, martial echoes of “Then,” a world long consigned to the ash heap of history—or so we think. Moncef’s collection of stories and essays is a timely reminder that Now and Then are frightfully similar—a warning we would do well to heed.

  Yves de Bourganes just wanted to make some money to support his widowed mother as she tried to keep the family farm afloat. He wouldn’t have minded some adventure, too. He didn’t expect to be sent to fight in a war between France’s constant nemesis Great Britain and her boisterous American colonies across the treacherous sea.

  The year is 1942 and America is under siege. 
  After invading the Hawaiian Islands and South Carolina, the Axis are on the move. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s panzer army blitzes north to capture Washington D.C. and force a United States surrender, while the Japanese land on the west coast to make their own territorial claims on America.

  The invasion tore Jim Fraser from his wife Florrie and their twin daughters. Doubting his family survived the lost battle for Charleston, all that sustains Captain Fraser is fighting for the men of his Baker Company, as they resist a relentless enemy driving them ever farther away from their homes. Meanwhile, Florrie and her girls embark on a journey across the occupied zone to reach Free America, but the closer they get to safety, the more dangerous the war becomes.

  The gripping ElevenLabs AI voice Declan gives the audiobook a new dimension like a cinema newsreel from an all too close front line.
