Summary
The lights dim at the Paris Opera House. The exquisite Christine Daae enraptures the audience with her mellifluous voice. Immediately, Raoul de Chagny falls deeply in love. But the legend of the disfigured opera ghost haunts the performance, and as Raoul begins his pursuit of Christine, he is pulled into the depths of the opera house, and into the depths of human emotions. Soon Raoul discovers that the ghost is real and that he wields a terrifying power over Christine; a power as unimaginable as the ghost's masked face. As Raoul and the ghost vie for Christine's love, a journey begins into the dark recesses of the human heart, where desire, vulnerability, fear, and violence unravel in a tragic confrontation.

+ 25 H Aventuras IV
Summary
Más de 25 horas de audiolibros: CORAZÓN INDIO, de Nieves Herrero El accidente de Lucas con la moto que le acaban de regalar, aunque casi le cuesta la vida, le va a meter de lleno en un mundo de sensaciones increíbles. Rodeado de nuevos amigos, y con la ayuda de Oriana, tendrá que asumir una gran responsabilidad: buscar el símbolo que puede salvar a una raza que está a punto de desaparecer. Para ello, será fundamental que consiga la plena comunión con la naturaleza. Un auténtico chamán indio, un águila que le persigue en sueños, y los ojos verdes de Oriana que parecen darle energía cada vez que le miran, impulsarán a Lucas tras su objetivo. LA ESPOSA DEL SOL, de G. Leroux Raymond, un joven ingeniero francés, llega a Lima, donde le espera su prometida María Teresa, toda una mujer de negocios que domina el comercio del guano de la región. Allí se encuentra con "algo" que al principio no parecía más una cierta hostilidad por parte de los indios, pero que después se irá transformando en algo totalmente distinto... ¿Por qué? El choque entre la búsqueda del poder económico por los europeos, y el intento de mantener sus tradiciones ancestrales por parte de los quechuas, va a desembocar en una situación de antagonismo que sólo el indio Huáscar podrá solucionar. EL ESCARABAJO DE ORO, de Edgar Allan Poe El Sr. Legrand se ha ido a vivir a la Isla de Sullivan. Allí se dedica a sus actividades favoritas: la lectura y la búsqueda de nuevas especies de insectos, junto con su inseparable criado, Júpiter. El día que fui a visitarle estaba muy alterado, porque acababa de descubrir una especie que parecía completamente desconocida: era un escarabajo que parecía... de oro. Júpiter, que como todos los negros era muy supersticioso, no quería saber nada del escarabajo. Pero su patrón nos iba a embarcar en una aventura que ninguno de nosotros podía imaginar... y que estamos seguros de que, te va a enganchar. MANAOS, de Alberto Vázquez Figueroa En Manaos, perdidas en medio de la selva amazónica, se encuentran las explotaciones de caucho del argentino Sierra, un despiadado terrateniente que esclaviza a los indios y los somete al hambre y al látigo para aumentar los beneficios de su producción. Entre los esclavos se encuentran el Nordestino, que fue a parar allí por una deuda que nunca logrará pagar; el Gringo, un antiguo guardaespaldas de Sierra condenado a la esclavitud por acostarse con Claudia, la amante del patrón, y Ramiro Poco-poco, un indio auca recién llegado a la plantación. Cuando Sierra parece decidido a dejar a Claudia allí para satisfacer a los caucheros, lo insostenible de la situación determinará de estos tres hombres a rescatarla e intentar lo que hasta este momento ningún hombre ha logrado: huir. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
