About Begums Fortune

Step into a world where utopia clashes with dystopia in Begums Fortune. This gripping novel follows a French doctor and a German professor, both heirs to a monumental fortune from a French soldier who married an Indian princes wealthy widow. Eager to forge their own ideal societies in America, Dr. Sarrasin, the visionary French doctor, constructs Ville-France on the stunning Oregon Coast, prioritizing public health and well-being. In stark contrast, the militaristic and prejudiced Professor Schultze lays the groundwork for Stahlstadt, a city dedicated to the relentless production of advanced weaponry, all in a bid to overpower Sarrasins peaceful community. With the U.S. ceding sovereignty to these two cities, the stage is set for an epic showdown between their contrasting ideologies. Where will the pursuit of fortune and the quest for an ideal society lead? - Summary by Kate Follis

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
