Story
Old Man Hawkins was a larger-than-life character among deer hunters, or, more precisely, among tellers and hearers of tall tales. His self-proclaimed method of hunting deer by holding a mirror in one hand and his rifle in the other, pointing backward over a shoulder, was, he said, "to be fair to the deer". It was a story, Davis tells us, that would occupy his father on the drive to Grandma's house.

Story
A te che questo tempo ha appena portato ad ascoltare questo audiolibro. Devo dirti una cosa importante: ti prego, fa' attenzione. In questo audiolibro, non troverai nessun supereroe e nemmeno parole come "mantello" o "e dalla lampada uscì", no, niente di tutto questo. Qui troverai una vita vera, una vita che esiste, e le vite vere che esistono sono fragili, delicate, forti ma piene di cuore e di spaventi che ci portiamo dentro da anni e anni o, forse, da tantissime vite. Ci sono dentro coraggio e amore e amici, e c'è il mare, e un parco giochi incastrato nel centro della città.

Story
Wzruszająca opowieść o Januszu Korczaku i o wychowankach sierocińca, który stworzył z myślą o dzieciach. "Na ulicy Krochmalnej 92 był wielki, biały budynek z tablicą "Dom Sierot". I tam Frania po raz pierwszy zobaczyła Panadoktora. Stał przed głównym wejściem i czekał na dzieci, żeby się z nimi przywitać. Babcia, gdy to opowiada, a lubi tę część, mówi: "Pandoktor się do nas uśmiechał. Jak tylko go zobaczyłam, to wiedziałam, że Pandoktor to dobry człowiek". I mówi "Pandoktor" tak, jakby to był jeden wyraz.

Story
At three years of age Susan, who was very bright and quick, learned her letters and also some words, while on a visit at her grandmother’s. When she was a little older, she attended a district school, and then a private school conducted in the Anthony home. Susan was a very successful teacher, and often she grew indignant to see that men who did not do their work so well as she received four times as much pay. Equal pay for equal work was one of the rights that she began to demand for her fellow women from that time on.

When he is unable to both defend the love of his life and earn the money to buy her freedom, Gabriel makes a decision: freedom for just his own family would not be enough.
