Tidigt en juldagsmorgon ringer det i telefonen hemma hos Dante och den främmande mannen i andra änden påstår sig vara hans pappa. Handfallen och upprörd lägger han på luren. Han intalar sig själv att det var en felringning. Hans pappa är ju död, omkommen i Vietnamkriget när Dante bara var ett spädbarn. Trots det bekymrar samtalet honom, och sakta men säkert växer tvivlet.När Dante senare städar bland sin mammas kvarlåtenskap hittar han fotografier av flera okända personer tillsammans med slarvigt nedtecknade initialer. Fotografierna väcker frågor. Vilka är personerna och kan någon av dem vara hans pappa? Därifrån börjar Dantes resa och sökande efter svar.Tony Samatas, född 1966, är en svensk författare och illustratör.

Algunas de sus obras más célebres son «La Gaviota» (1849) o «Clemencia» (1852).

Diese Satire handelt von einem Traum des jungen Prinzenerziehers und Hofrats zu Weimar, Christoph Martin Wieland: Er landet in seinem Traum im Schattenreich Hades und muss sich zwischen all den griechischen Göttern und Helden für seine, als miserabel und mittelmäßig eingestuften, schriftstellerischen Werke verantworten. Alle Versuche, die Griechen von seinen Werken zu überzeugen, scheitern. Nun wird ihm auch noch vorgeworfen, er würde dem empfindsamen Autor Euripides mit seinen Werken keinen Respekt entgegenbringen und ihn lächerlich machen. Wird Wieland mit dem griechischen Volk auf einen Nenner kommen bevor er erwacht?Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wurde 1749 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und verstarb im Jahre 1832 in Weimar.

- Este audiolibro está narrado en Español neutral.Veinte años tardará Ulises, el rey de Ítaca, en volver a su patria. Luego de luchar en la guerra de Troya por diez años, siendo uno de los héroes, Ulises emprende el regreso a su tierra natal. Pero una ofensa al dios Poseidón lo alejará de su camino por otros diez años, siendo condenado a navegar sin rumbo y a vivir las más extrañas aventuras y vicisitudes en el camino. Así, en su retorno a Ítaca, Ulises desafiará monstruos y tempestades, se enfrentará a encantamientos y a las seductoras sirenas, sobreponiéndose al designio de los dioses, en su intento por volver a su hogar. Mientras su fiel esposa, Penélope, y su hijo, Telémaco, intentan resistir ante la codicia de los pretendientes que aspiran al trono. La Odisea es un poema épico de la Grecia clásica y representa una de las grandes epopeyas de la historia de la humanidad. Se cree que fue una de las primeras obras escritas en la antigüedad, luego de ser recitada durante siglos. Convertida en una pieza clave de la cultura universal, ha inspirado a grandes autores de la literatura, desde Virgilio hasta Joyce. Hoy puede escuchar y disfrutar esta obra, creada para ser narrada en voz alta. Dividida en tres partes, conocerá la situación de Ítaca sin Ulises, las peripecias de su regreso y su venganza para recuperar su trono y vengar su honor.Homero (Grecia, Siglo VIII a.C.) fue un poeta griego, al que se le atribuye la autoría de La Odisea y La Ilíada, conocidas epopeyas épicas de la tradición oral griega. Desde el período helenístico se ha cuestionado si el autor de estas obras fue la misma persona. Si bien su origen y su vida siguen en discusión, se estima que vivió en Jonia durante el Siglo VIII a.C. siendo una figura influyente de la antigua Grecia. Sus creaciones literarias han trascendido el tiempo y el espacio, siendo el pilar sobre la que se apoyó la épica grecolatina y, por consiguiente, toda la literatura occidental.
