[Spanish] - Meditaciones Metafísicas
Las meditaciones metafísicas de Descartes tienen como principal objetivo la demostración de Dios y la inmortalidad del alma mediante razonamientos lógicos y de definir las bases del conocimiento del momento con el fin de disponerlo sobre unas bases más sólidas de las que había hasta entonces. Descartes también estudiará la naturaleza dual del hombre compuesta por la “res cogitans” (pensamiento) y la “res extensa” (cuerpo). En resumen y en palabras del autor, podríamos decir que Descartes busca encontrar “la verdad” de las cosas a través de la razón.
René Descartes (Author), Armando Hernandez (Narrator)

[Catalan] - 1984 (edició en català avalada per The Orwell Estate)
Una obra mestra ambientada en una societat distòpica, totalitària i dictatorial, que reflexiona sobre conceptes encara vigents com ara la censura, la manipulació dels mitjans de comunicació i la falta de llibertats individuals en benefici d'un suposat interès comú. L'any 1984 Londres és una ciutat fosca en què la Policia del Pensament controla exhaustivament la vida dels ciutadans. Winston Smith és un peó d'aquest engranatge pervers i té com a objectiu reescriure la història per adaptar-la al que el Partit considera la versió oficial dels fets. Fins que un dia en Winston decideix qüestionar-se el sistema que els governa i els sotmet. «No hi haurà lleialtat, llevat de la lleialtat al Partit. No hi haurà amor, llevat de l'amor pel Gran Germà. No hi haurà rialles, llevat de les rialles del triomf davant un enemic derrotat. No hi haurà art, ni literatura ni ciència. Quan siguem omnipotents ja no necessitarem la ciència. No hi haurà distinció entre la bellesa i la lletjor. No hi haurà curiositat ni alegria davant el curs de la vida. Tots els plaers antagònics seran destruïts».
George Orwell (Author), Roger Batalla (Narrator)

…for Witch Wood specially I am always grateful; all that devilment sprouting up out of a beginning like Galt's Annals of the Parish. That's the way to do it. — C. S. Lewis Published in 1927, Scottish writer John Buchan's Witch Wood is set in a rural parish located in the Scottish Borders during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. The story centers around newly-ordained minister David Sempill's arrival in Woodilee in the wake of the Church of Scotland's acceptance of the Solemn League and Covenant and explores themes and issues surrounding religious tolerance and seventeenth-century Calvinism. With pagan rituals, an outbreak of the plague, and rumors about fairies and the devil, Witch Wood also delves into the supernatural and occult. Written while doing research for his biography of Scottish nobleman James Graham, the 1st Marquess of Montrose, Witch Wood is considered Buchan's masterpiece by scholars and critics. Read by Scottish narrator Angus King, this audio edition maintains sections of dialogue originally written and published in Scots.
