Amidst the joys of a motherhood journey, there is an undercurrent of challenge unlike any other you’ll face in your life, requiring a different kind of strength than your pre-motherhood days. The current maternal healthcare system sets moms up to get weaker in pregnancy and start motherhood with a deficit of strength and energy. This means the vast majority of mothers are slogging through motherhood feeling weak and discouraged. It’s time for that to change. Each week, Pregnancy and Postpartum Exercise Specialists (and sisters!) Kendra Fitzgerald and Nicole Coons will bring you the deep ...

La historia de Benjamin Button, un hombre que nace viejo y, a medida que pasan los años, recupera la juventud, lo que le permite ver la sociedad que lo rodea con ojos distintos y críticos. Otros relatos hablan de novios imposibles y padres incómodos con su condición, de jóvenes y ricos herederos que envejecen prematuramente un mundo de luces y sombras que deja un sabor amargo en los labios. Este audiolibro constituye la quintaesencia del mundo narrativo de Scott Fitzgerald, quizá el narrador más dotado que dio la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX.

Sich am Lagerfeuer Geschichten erzählen - so war das damals im Wilden Westen. Aber diese schöne Erzähltradition hat beileibe nicht nur in den USA stattgefunden, auch wenn die vorliegende Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten sämtlich von dort stammt! Mit dabei: "Wie man ein Feuer macht" (J. London), "Die Maske des roten Todes" (E. A. Poe), "Die Eine Million Pfundnote" (M. Twain), "Rip van Winkle" (W. Irving), "David Swan" (N. Hawthorne), "Die Braut kommt nach Yellow Sky" (S. Crane), "Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button" (F. S. Fitzgerald).

Der permanente amerikanische Traum von Ruhm, Macht und Geld, das ständige Streben nach persönlichem Erfolg, die Mystifikation der Liebe, Teenagersorgen, rauschende Schulfeste und Geldprobleme, Höhenflüge und Abstürze ins Bodenlose – alles das sind die wichtigsten Themen seiner Erzählungen, seines Lebens und Werkes. Bei F. Scott Fitzgerald nimmt die exaltierte Welt der Reichen und Schönen und der Emporkömmlinge mitunter bizarre Formen an, das zeigen aufs Unterhaltsamste die hier versammelten Kurzgeschichten.

When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids. Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had by Fitzgerald's time become increasingly focused on money and pleasure—a phenomenon the high-living writer was only too familiar with.

Long considered one of America’s greatest novels, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald has remained the quintessential look at the “Roaring Twenties.” This new audio edition includes a nearly 2-hour study guide to The Great Gatsby, including a chapter-by-chapter analysis, descriptions of the key characters, and an overview of the important themes and symbols in the book. The novel unfolds as a memoir in the voice of Nick Carraway, a young man from the Midwest who travels to New York. By chance, Nick rents a house next door to the millionaire Jay Gatsby.

"You see, this is the beauty I want. Beauty has got to be astonishing, astounding--it's got to burst in on you like a dream, like the exquisite eyes of a girl." Ardita, a beautiful and bored young Flapper, is hanging out on her uncle's yacht when it's suddenly captured by pirates. When Ardita meets and falls in love with the charming captain she knows she's been right to reject the boring and rich society men. But a truth lurks around the corner that will make her question everything she thinks she knows.

"I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." When Benjamin Button is born he looks oddly like an old man. He's not interested in playing with other kids and he's too low on energy to participate anyway. When Benjamin turns 20 it dawns on his family that he is aging backwards. The younger he grows, the more he learns to embrace life.

"He wondered idly whether she was a poor conversationalist because she got no attention or got no attention because she was a poor conversationalist." Bernice is having a difficult summer trying to fit in with her popular cousin Marjorie and her friends. But when Marjorie helps her become a society girl and she wins the affections of a certain young man, a battle of wits and wills ensues between the two cousins. In classic 90s makeover movie style, 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair' is the 1920s equivalent of 'She's All That'.

Andora is a young priestess in training who couldn’t kill her friend for blaspheming, and is being hunted for her lack of action. The two will collide in an apocalyptic coincidence that threatens to usurp the entire continent of Domhan, and the theocracy that has been constructed by their god, Halion, and his two children. They will meet, they will be bound together, and they will be pursued. As they flee for their lives, they will discover a deeper connection from their past.

Pero tras tan imponente carta de presentación se esconden secretos y debilidades que acaban convirtiéndose en un caballo desbocado imposible de domar, haciendo que la perfección de Dick y Nicole no sea más que un espejismo.

Bryan Dalyrimple returns to his hometown as a war hero after World War I. But after the ticker tape parades and back-slapping handshakes, he finds himself stuck in a dead-end job with little room for advancement, and frustration begins to mount. He decides to turn to the only option left for him—crime. Originally published in the 1920 short story collection Flappers and Philosophers, Fitzgerald shines a light on the sentiment toward the returning doughboys of World War I, and the dwindling opportunities awaiting them upon their return.
