Andrew Roberts' Napoleon is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon's thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation. At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine.

Napoleon will surprise you
Revisado: 09-16-24
He’s not the dictator that you think he is. He didn’t murder his opponents and he fought mostly for the common man, esp in the military. He was incredibly well read. You can’t help but admire him greatly for his attributes. There’s a reason West Point still studies his battles. Great book

By 1120, Henry was perhaps the most formidable ruler in Europe, with an enviable record on the battlefield, immense lands and wealth and unprecedented authority in his kingdoms. Everything he had worked so hard for was finally achieved, and he was ready to hand it on to his beloved son and heir, William Ætheling. Henry I and his retinue set out first. The White Ship - considered the fastest afloat - would follow, carrying the young prince. Spoilt and arrogant, William had plied his comrades and crew with drink from the minute he stepped aboard....

The Plantagenet queens of England played a role in some of the most dramatic events in our history. Crusading queens, queens in rebellion against their king, queen seductresses, learned queens, queens in battle, queens who enlivened England with the romantic culture of southern Europe - these determined women often broke through medieval constraints to exercise power and influence, for good and sometimes for ill.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 46
Virginal, chaste, humble, patiently waiting for rescue by brave knights and handsome princes: this idealized—and largely mythical—notion of the medieval noblewoman still lingers. Yet the reality was very different, as Kelcey Wilson-Lee shows in this vibrant account of the five daughters of Edward I, often known as Longshanks. The lives of these sisters—Eleanora, Joanna, Margaret, Mary, and Elizabeth—ran the gamut of experiences open to royal women in the Middle Ages.

Loved this book for its focus on the daughters and their relationship with their father. King Edward and Queen Eleanor were terrific parents for that age. It’s lovely to see how the king truly loved and cared for his daughters even beyond the grave. They clearly were superior in judgment and character compared to his son.

This book is narrated so well. And the story is great, kept me guessing the whole time. I just really enjoy this series. I love C & R, what great characters. Way to go, JK Rowling! I love the way you weave a yarn, or whatever the expression is! Keep going, girl!!

The talented, confident, and intelligent son of John of Gaunt, Henry IV started his reign as a popular and charismatic king after he dethroned the tyrannical and wildly unpopular Richard II. But six years into his reign, Henry had survived eight assassination and overthrow attempts. Having broken God's law of primogeniture by overthrowing the man many people saw as the chosen king, Henry IV left himself vulnerable to challenges from powerful enemies about the validity of his reign. Even so, Henry managed to establish the new Lancastrian dynasty and a new rule of law.

Revisado: 08-10-22
What a story! I am learning so much about leadership by reading about these rulers. Their triumphs, mistakes, courage, relentlessness, and everyday commitment to rule justly by the standards of THEIR time (not ours) are truly inspirational. Henry, his father, his uncles, his grandfather and Edward I are really very remarkable men for their day. I thank the author for writing in a gripping way, and dissecting critical moments from various viewpoints, not just the protagonist’s. That technique truly illuminates all of the competing agendas and personalities at that juncture. Finally, the performance took a little getting used to, but grew to appreciate the cadence, especially when unfolding events got complicated. I can’t wait to visit Henry’s resting place to give thanks to standing up against a tyrant, laying the foundations of modern democracy.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

Revisado: 06-09-17
The narrators are AMAZING. This book is so well written and just beautiful. I saw the movie after finishing the book and the book is a thousand times better. It's a bit slow at first, but HANG IN THERE because it becomes a book you can't turn off.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Amazing story
Revisado: 05-28-17
I'm kind of speechless because he showed me how totally ignorant I am about apartheid, racism and how utterly hopeless it must still be for the tens of millions of people who live in the aftermath of such an oppressive system. I will watch his show because he will bring a different perspective to so many people and issues. He is a miracle himself. He has his mother and Jesus to thank!
