Johanna has forgotten the English language, tries to escape at every opportunity, throws away her shoes, and refuses to act "civilized.” Yet as the miles pass, the two lonely survivors tentatively begin to trust each other, forming a bond that marks the difference between life and death in this treacherous land.Arriving in San Antonio, the reunion is neither happy nor welcome. The captain must hand Johanna over to an aunt and uncle she does not remember—strangers who regard her as an unwanted burden.

Angel Fire East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 753min

When Running with the Demon appeared, it was recognized at once as a masterpiece in the making, a bold departure that promised to revitalize contemporary urban fantasy and showcase Terry Brooks' vast storytelling gifts as never before. The second book of the series, A Knight of the Word, raised expectations even higher. Now, in Angel Fire East, sure to be hailed as his most ambitious, most accomplished work yet, Terry Brooks brings his best-selling epic trilogy of good and evil to an unforgettable close. As a Knight of the Word, John Ross has struggled against the tireless dark forces of the Void for 25 years. A rootless wanderer scarred as deeply by the magic he wields as by the unspeakable horrors he has witnessed in its service, Ross is driven by dreams that show the world reduced to blood and ashes by the Void and its minions. The grim futures he dreams each night will come true unless he can stop them now, in the present. But for all his power, John Ross is only one man, while the demons he hunts - and which hunt him in turn - are legion. Then Ross learns of the birth of a gypsy morph, a rare and dangerous creature formed of wild magics spontaneously knit together. If he can discover its secret, the morph could be an invaluable weapon against the Void. But the Void, too, knows the value of the morph and will not rest until the creature has been corrupted - or destroyed. Desperate, Ross returns to the town of Hopewell, Illinois, home of Nest Freemark, a young woman with magical abilities of her own. Twice before, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the lives of Ross and Nest have intersected. Together they have prevailed. But now they face an ancient evil beyond anything they have ever encountered, for a demon of ruthless intelligence and feral cunning awaits them in Hopewell. As a firestorm of good and evil erupts, threatening to consume lives and shatter dreams, Ross and Nest have but a sin ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Deakins.

Sueño Mexicano / Mexican Dream

«EN LA VIDA HAY QUE TENER SUEÑOS LO SUFICIENTEMENTE REALISTAS PARA LLEGAR A ELLOS ANTES DE MORIR, PERO LO SUFICIENTEMENTE MOTIVANTES PARA LEVANTARSE TODOS LOS DÍAS A LUCHAR POR ELLOS.» Don Arnoldo de la Rocha es originario de la sierra de Chihuahua. Aprendió a trabajar la tierra desde los seis años, usó zapatos a partir de los ocho y entró a la escuela a los once. Forzada por la necesidad, su familia dejó el campo para instalarse en la ciudad. Luego de tocar fondo durante un turbulento periodo de adaptación al nuevo entorno, Arnoldo recibió una llamada que le cambiaría la vida: su tío lo invitaba a que aprendiera el oficio de asar pollos al carbón en su local para que después abriera su propia parrilla en otra ciudad. Desarraigado, inconforme, hambriento literal y figurativamente, soñador, Arnoldo tomó la oportunidad, aunque se resistía a abandonar los paradigmas con los que había crecido. Con el tiempo, descubrió su pasión por el negocio y, junto con sus socios, reunió los locales de la familia bajo la marca Pollo Feliz, la cual se volvería una exitosa cadena de restaurantes en México y el sur de Estados Unidos. El tercer libro de la colección Conecta México consiste en una historia de una familia que dejó el campo persiguiendo un sueño y lo cumplió tras una parrilla, que convirtió sus locales en un laboratorio de emprendedores y que finalmente alcanzó la prosperidad. Un camino cuesta arriba en todos los sentidos hacia la trascendencia que se acompaña de profundas reflexiones, enseñanzas de vida y consejos para los jóvenes emprendedores. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "IN LIFE YOU MUST HAVE PRACTICAL DREAMS IN ORDER TO FULFILL THEM BEFORE YOU DIE, BUT ALSO ENCOURAGING ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU GET UP EVERYDAY TO FIGHT FOR THEM." Don Arnoldo de la Rocha was born in the mountain range of Chihuahua. He learned to work the land since he was six years old, didn't wear shoes until he turned eight, and had his first school day at eleven. Out of necessity, his family left the countryside and moved to the city. After hitting rock bottom during a troubled adjustment period to this new environment, Arnoldo got a phone call that would change his life. His uncle invited him to learn the trade of grilling chicken at his local restaurant so he could open up his own grill in a different city. Rootless, dissatisfied, literally and figuratively hungry, dreamer Arnoldo took the chance, even though he felt reluctant to abandon the paradigms he was raised with. Over time, Arnoldo discovered his passion for business and, along with his partners, he combined all family grills under the brand Pollo Feliz, which became a successful restaurant chain in Mexico and the American south. The third installment in the collection Conecta México is the story of a family that left the countryside to pursue a dream and fulfilled it behind a grill, turning their businesses into an entrepreneur workshop that ultimately became prosperous. It was an uphill climb to transcendence in every way, accompanied by deep reflection, life lessons, and advice for young entrepreneurs.
