This is volume 8 of 12.(Summary by Chip)

This is absolutely the best Conan novel ever written in my opinion. It follows Conan when at the peak of his power as king of Aquilonia, he is overthrown by dark, evil magic from Stygia and turned into a hunted refugee. A 3,000 year old magician from the most evil empire that ever existed is resurrected and with his sinister aid, Conan's enemies cause the barbarian's downfall. The plot twists and turns in wonderful fashion, following the Heart of Arihman, a strange extremely powerful magic jewel from another universe. He fights back as only he can against tremendous odds; beautiful women love and aid him; other beautiful women try to kill him; he travels through many hostile countries; his days as a corsair and pirate are remembered and used; and so, so, much more. This book was a joy to read and it will be a good listen for Conan fans. (by phil Chenevert).

06:47:24 - 17 - V - La razón de la sin razón (Parte B)
'Fortunata y Jacinta' esta considerada la mejor obra de su autor: Benito Pérez Galdós, y junto con 'La Regenta' de Clarín, la cima de la novela española del Realismo del siglo XIX. Es mucho más que una historia de dos mujeres casadas de distinta posición social, carácter, y objetivos que ven sus vidas entrelazadas de manera dramática. Tanto es así que en 2003 fue elegida por aclamación popular como la mejor obra ambientada en Madrid que se ha escrito nunca y la que mejor refleja los surcos profundos de la sociedad de esta ciudad en los tres últimos siglos. Su extension en cuatro partes, su profundidad psicológica y el vastísimo elenco de personajes la han convertido en una obra universal, contribuyendo a situar a Galdós a la altura (y algunos dirán incluso por encima) de maestros como Balzac, Dickens o Dostoievsky.Esta Cuarta y última parte comienza con la sospecha de que ni siquiera aquellos que parecían más virtuosos se salvan de los deslices amorosos. Sin remedio, todos los personajes y todas las tramas se aceleran entrelazándose en una espiral creciente de traiciones y lealtades que pocos como Galdós han sabido tejer y presentar, como la vida misma. ¿Cómo saldrá la Familia Santa Cruz de semejante trance? ¿Y qué suerte le deparará cada miembro del clan Rubín? ¿Y sobre todo: cómo terminarán nuestras dos casadas.... Fortunata y Jacinta?

00:00:00 - 47 - Chapter XLVII
A mysterious man arrives in London and, in a freak accident, gets electrocuted on an underground train and loses his memory. A young lady called Sally Nightingale feels responsible, and brings him home to her mother. But in a strange twist of fate it transpires that her mother is the man's ex wife, whom he left twenty years earlier in unhappy circumstances. The old attraction is there, but what will happen if and when his memory returns? A highly melodramatic plot, but with a deft comic touch, a host of vibrant characters, and a large dash of romance.De Morgan is best known as a designer. One of the pioneers of the arts and crafts movement, he was a lifelong friend of William Morris and designed tiles and ceramics for Morris & Co for many years. But during his lifetime he also found considerable success as a writer. Over a century later his novels provide the reader with a picture - as intricately designed and lavishly colourful as his ceramics - of an England which, in a few short years after their publication, was to be changed forever by the First World War. With a style that at times is reminiscent of Thackeray or Dickens, De Morgan is a writer with a distinctive voice, wry wit, and - if 'Somehow Good' is any indicator - a truly sentimental heart.
