His family shared a long-established link with the Mountbatten arm of the Royal Family.

Coral Castle is the first audiobook to take an objective, journalistic look at one of America's most intriguing places: Coral Castle, located in Homestead, Florida. Edward Leedskalnin, an eccentric Latvian immigrant, built Coral Castle in the 1920s and 30s. Working alone with primitive tools, he quarried, carved, and set in place more than 1,100 tons of coral rock, creating what is commonly known as the American Stonehenge. How he accomplished this amazing feat remains a mystery.

Anni cinquanta. In mezzo a una strada di Parigi sono raccolte alcune persone, ferme, come in attesa di qualcosa o qualcuno. Uno di loro ha i capelli ispidi e brizzolati, un altro è quasi calvo, parlotta con un uomo baffuto, le mani incrociate sul petto; un altro ancora sputa in aria il fumo di una sigaretta, assorto in chissà quale pensiero. Qualcuno è lì di fronte con una Leica in mano, preme il pulsante, clic.

This is one art history lesson you'll never forget!

"Questa è una storia parziale e non ha la pretesa di ricostruire alla perfezione gli accadimenti storici. È una storia d'amore personale, a tratti assai stramba e picaresca, che però somiglia a quella di tanti altri. Una storia, quella del comunismo italiano, tanto forte da far tremare i polsi." Sergio Staino è uno dei più importanti vignettisti italiani.

At age 13, most boys are finding trouble in all its infinite forms. In 1939, 13-year-old Jon Lippens’ worst troubles found him in a predawn Nazi invasion that left his hometown of Ghent, Belgium, enveloped in mass death and destruction. His childhood ended that day. Jon’s life thereafter was a series of traumatic events and close scrapes with death. He resisted Hitler Youth recruiters and avoided being sent to death in a labor camp, disappearing into the Belgian Underground Resistance, where he ultimately joined the Allied effort.

"No me ha bajado la regla. Hace dos semanas salí a tomar algo, me lie con las copas y terminé escribiendo a mi ex italiano... ¿Cómo iba yo a saber que unos chupitos de Jäger me pondrían la vida patas arriba?"

Para matar el mono, pero también porque no podía creerse que fuera positivo. ¿Puede una llegar a ser buena madre cuando aún no sabe cuidar ni de sí misma?

The 1935 murder of architect Francis Mawson Rattenbury, world famous for his design of the iconic Parliament Buildings and Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, and the arrest and lurid trial of his thirty years younger second wife, Alma, and the family chauffeur, George Percy Stoner, her lover, who was half her age, riveted people. Debate continues even today as to which one of them really was responsible.

One of the nation’s top art critics shows how six great artists made old age a time of triumph by producing some of the greatest work of their long careers—and, in some cases, changing the course of art history. Though these six artists differed in many respects, they shared one thing: a determination to go on creating, driven not by the bounding energies of youth but by the ticking clock that would inspire them to produce some of their greatest masterpieces.
