Title: [Spanish] - Una vida llena de propósito Author: Pablo Casacuberta Narrator: Ignacio Casas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: December 18, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Todos los libros son de 'autoayuda', dice uno de los personajes de esta novela delirante. A lo largo de un accidentado camino de torpezas, su protagonista, el incurable escéptico David Badenbauer, deberá emprender un proceso de autoayuda que haría palidecer al más ambicioso de los gurús. En la peor privación, instigado por una hostilidad que siempre atribuye a los demás, el frustrado neurofisiólogo se verá obligado a enfrentar todo aquello que ha evadido por décadas. Para soportarlo, deberá hallar refugio en el ejercicio de la ironía y del pensamiento, donde se expresa lo mejor de su existencia. Pablo Casacuberta terminó esta novela en el módulo de cuidados intermedios de un hospital, luego de haber pasado algunos de los días más álgidos de su vida en un centro de terapia intensiva. El desquicio de la pandemia, con todas sus consecuencias terribles, contribuyó paradójicamente a que tanto la gloria como el absurdo de la vida ficcionada alcanzarán en sus páginas un tono apoteósico. La muerte, el misterio de la conciencia o la inexorabilidad de la entropía se exploran aquí en un recorrido tan íntimo como universal.

Spontaneous Order: How Norms, Institutions, and Innovations Emerge from the Bottom Up by H. Peyton Young

Title: Spontaneous Order: How Norms, Institutions, and Innovations Emerge from the Bottom Up Author: H. Peyton Young Narrator: Kent Klineman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 0 minutes Release date: December 17, 2024 Genres: Economics Publisher's Summary: Spontaneous Order brings together Peyton Young's research on evolutionary game theory and its diverse applications across a wide range of academic disciplines, including economics, sociology, philosophy, biology, computer science, and engineering. Enhanced with an introductory essay and commentaries, the book pulls together the author's work thematically to provide a valuable resource for scholars of economic theory. Young argues that equilibrium behaviors often coalesce from the interactions and experiences of many dispersed individuals acting with fragmentary knowledge of the world, rather than (as is often assumed in economics) from the actions of fully rational agents with commonly held beliefs. The author presents a unified and rigorous account of how such 'bottom-up' evolutionary processes work, using recent advances in stochastic dynamical systems theory. This analytical framework illuminates how social norms and institutions evolve, how social and technical innovations spread in society, and how these processes depend on adaptive learning behavior by human subjects.

[German] - Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam by Stefan Zweig

Title: [German] - Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam Author: Stefan Zweig Narrator: Wolfgang Schrader Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 7 minutes Release date: December 5, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: Was für eine wunderbare Biographie! Und wie aktuell erscheint plötzlich das ferne 16. Jahrhundert! Nur die Gegenspieler haben gewechselt. Humanismus gegen religiösen Fanatismus. Nationaler Egoismus contra Weltbürgertum. Erasmus hat die EU und die Vereinten Nationen vorausgedacht und die christliche Reformation angestoßen, die dann von Luther, dem religiösen Fanatiker, usurpiert und zur Revolution missbraucht wurde. Erasmus, der Mann des Ausgleichs, hat sich immer wieder um die Versöhnung der Parteien bemüht. Voraussehbar vergeblich. Für ihn war eine umfassende Bildung die Voraussetzung für eine humane Menschenwelt, aber er machte sich keine Illusionen darüber, dass die Verführer leichtes Spiel mit der dumpfen ungebildeten Masse haben. Erasmus war kein Demokrat, sondern ein Aristokrat des Geistes. Er kämpfte nicht für seine Überzeugungen, sondern legte sie in einer Unzahl von Schriften nieder. Unnachahmlich lässt die Wortkunst Stefan Zweigs Gestalten, Gedanken und Geschehnisse vor unseren Augen lebendig werden, die 500 Jahre zurückliegen.

With God in Russia: The Inspiring Classic Account of a Catholic Priest's Twenty-three Years in Soviet Prisons and Labor Camps by Daniel L. Flaherty, Walter J. Ciszek

Title: With God in Russia: The Inspiring Classic Account of a Catholic Priest's Twenty-three Years in Soviet Prisons and Labor Camps Author: Daniel L. Flaherty, Walter J. Ciszek Narrator: James Conlan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 26, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: “. . . a human and historical document of compelling interest.” — The Atlantic Powerful and inspirational, With God in Russia captures the heroic patience, endurance, and religious conviction of a man whose life embodied the Christian ideals that sustained him. While ministering in Eastern Europe during World War II, Polish-American priest Walter Ciszek, S.J., was arrested by the NKVD, the Russian secret police, shortly after the war ended. Accused of being an American spy and charged with ''agitation with intent to subvert,'' he was held in Moscow’s notorious Lubyanka prison for five years. The Catholic priest was then sentenced without trial to ten more years of hard labor and transported to Siberia, where he would become a prisoner within the forced labor camp system made famous in Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn’s Nobel Prize—winning book The Gulag Archipelago. In With God in Russia, Ciszek reflects on his daily life as a prisoner, the labor he endured while working in the mines and on construction gangs, his unwavering faith in God, and his firm devotion to his vows and vocation. Enduring brutal conditions, Ciszek risked his life to offer spiritual guidance to fellow prisoners who could easily have exposed him for their own gains. He chronicles these experiences with grace, humility, and candor, from his secret work leading mass and hearing confessions within the prison grounds, to his participation in a major gulag uprising, to his own ''resurrection''—his eventual release in a prisoner exchange in October 1963 which astonished all who had feared he was dead. “More than a superbly interesting adventure story, With God in Russia is a moving document of a man’s faith in his God and his God’s goodness in allowing him to live through his ordeal.” — The Advocate

Title: Woman Uninterrupted Author: Brodie Kane Narrator: Brodie Kane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 1 minute Release date: November 24, 2024 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: Yarns on a life lived at a million miles, from beloved broadcaster, podcaster and go-getter Brodie Kane 'A romp through glorious (and gross) adventures, Brodie writes as if you're her best friend. By the end, you'll really wish you were.' - Kerre Woodham First up: this is absolutely not a guide to life. I've done some impressive stuff, but I've also slept on the floor of an old Greek man's house and lost my dignity in the Brunei jungle. I say yes to everything this life has to offer - I'm from the 'women can have it all' club - and, boy, have I got the stories to show for it. From surf-lifesaving to a hungover Army deployment, being broke with a gum infection in Europe, spooning Richie McCaw on a mountain, improvising make-up for Paul Holmes, running my first ultra-marathon and reinventing myself after redundancy: every wild, brilliant and hilarious experience has taught me something new. Whether it's how not to care about being judged, how to fake it till you make it, how to throw yourself into the unknown or how to push through the pit of despair, I've come to love that we are all works in progress. If I fail from time to time, that's okay too. Open the book of this open book (me). I want to show you the raw, the real and the vulnerable of a full-volume life and how the greatest moments - or at the very least the greatest yarns - come about by just giving it a crack.
