Review Odysseus: A Life / Blackstone Audiobooks:Now in paperback, an informative and entertaining "biography" of Odysseus by an acclaimed classicist. Odysseus, the fictional Bronze Age hero, is an extraordinary figure who has captured our imagination over the millennia from culture to culture. But until now, he has never been the subject of a "biography," in which his life is set out from beginning to end. In this remarkable book, beloved classicist Charles Beye puts his unique spin on Odysseus' strange and adventuresome existence. With tremendous wit and insight, Beye portrays the character's amazing life and evolution - and in the process casts new light on one of the great figures of the Western imagination.

Review French Toast / Blackstone Audiobooks:Peter Mayle may have spent a year in Provence, but Harriet Welty Rochefort writes from the wise perspective of one who has spent more than twenty years living among the French. From a small town in Iowa to the City of Light, Harriet has done what so many of dream of one day doing-she picked up and moved to France. But it has not been twenty years of fun and games; Harriet has endured her share of cultural bumps, bruises, and psychic adjustments along the way. In French Toast, she shares her hard-earned wisdom and does as much as one woman can to demystify the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. She investigates such delicate matters as how to eat asparagus, how to approach Parisian women, how to speak to merchants, how to drive, and, most important, how to make a seven-course meal in a silk blouse without an apron! Harriet's first-person account offers both a helpful reality check and a lot of very funny moments.

Review The Flamboyant: Library Edition / Blackstone Audiobooks:In the tradition of Beryl Markham's West with the Night, The Flamboyant tells the story of Lenora Demarest, a strong–willed, soft–spoken American beauty intent on becoming the first aviatrix in her adopted country of Puerto Rico. Born in 1900, on the cusp of divergent eras, Lenora epitomises the glamorous, wealthy, adventurous women of the 1920s and 1930s who balanced romantic, Victorian sensibilities with decidedly modern forays into traditionally male arenas. When an affair with a dashing aviator and friendship with the spirited Amelia Earhart awaken her passion for flying, Lenora – captivated by two cultures and loved by two men – finds herself on an exhilarating path towards independence. Set against the vibrant backdrop of colonial politics, The Flamboyant pays tribute to a woman generations ahead of her time.

Review John Wesley: Men and Women of Faith Series (Men of Faith (Blackstone)) / Blackstone Audio Inc.:John Wesley was a small, frail man who was a giant in faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. This is the inspiring, personal story of one of the most powerful preachers since apostolic times. Crisscrossing his country on horseback for an incredible quarter of a million miles, Wesley preached at thousands of outdoor evangelistic meetings. In his own pulpit, Wesley's pastoral and teaching ministry filled the pews and spilled over to other congregations, unifying them into a strong church body. But the impact of John Wesley's life and ministry reaches far beyond the shores of England and the confines of Methodism. His witness to salvation and sanctification still shines through his hymns, through his books, and through books of his life story such as this one.

Review Gustavo Cisneros: Un Empresario Global / FonoLibro Inc.:Gustavo Cisneros, uno de los principales empresarios globales, forma parte de una dinastía de empresarios iniciada por su padre, Diego Cisneros, en la segunda generación no sólo mantiene si no supera los logros de la primera. Gustavo Cisneros consigue convertir un importante y saneado negocio venezolano en un jugador dentro del mercado global, propio de la época que le ha tocado vivir. Pablo Bachelet relata de una forma amena, y no especializada, el entramado de un negocio de muchas cabezas que, conforme se van haciendo mas grande, también se hace mucho mas complejo. Uno siente que se está en la junta directiva de la organización, Volando con Cisneros a Miami, Nueva York o Madrid, e incluso vive en carne propia y casi en tiempo real, el vértigo de negociaciones complejas y, sobre todo, arriesgadas. El autor presenta a Gustavo Cisneros en toda su complejidad, con sus triunfos y fracasos. En este sentido, las experiencias de Galerías Preciados o, mucho después, el intento de crear una única plataforma de satélite para toda Latinoamérica con Murdoch, Azcárraga, y Marinho son fascinantes como el éxito de CADA, Venevisión, Univisión o la operación ultra secreta para convertir la Organización Cisneros en el Franquiciador de Coca-Cola en Venezuela. Gustavo Cisneros, "El adelantado," según lo defina Carlos Fuentes en su prologo, es una historia de riesgos premiados. También de errores admitidos. Es una historia de oportunos cambios de velocidad. Del negocio de consumo perecedero, Cisneros pasa al negocio de las telecomunicaciones. [+]De la generación de flujo de caja, a la generación de valor. Y siempre, antes del siguiente paso, la consolidación interna. La saga empresarial de Cisneros - digna de ser descrita por un Balzac o un Dreisner, y comparable a los Fugger renacentistas- posee, como toda vida- y vida, sobre todo, de acción-, luces y sombras, derrotas y victorias, detalladamente descritas en este audiolibro.
