The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
Summary
Upanishads are mankind's oldest works of philosophy, predating the earliest Greek philosophy. They are the concluding part of the Vedas, the ancient Indian sacred literature, and mark the culmination of a tradition of speculative thought first expressed in the Rig-Veda more than 4,000 years ago. Remarkable for their meditative depth, spirit of doubt and intellectual honesty, the Upanishads are concerned with the knowledge of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, and man's relationship with it. The name Upanishad is derived from the face-to-face mode of imparting knowledge - in the utmost sanctity and secrecy, to prevent its trivialisation or perversion. Composed in Sanskrit between 900 and 600 BC, the Upanishads presented here are by far the oldest and most important of those that exist. Max Muller’s classic translation of the first 12 Upanishads have been extensively revised by Suren Navlakha, who provides an entirely new translation of the 13th, the Kaushitaka Upanishad. The recording opens with an extended and informative introduction to the Upanishads, setting the background to the genre, and each Upanishad is prefaced with a brief introductory passage. The Indian actor Sagar Arya gives an idiomatic reading.

Bhagavad Gita
Summary
AMA Audiolibros presenta la narración en Español (Castellano) de la Bhagavad Gita en la voz de nuestro narrador Artur Mas. La Bhagavad-gita es un importante texto sagrado hinduista. Se le considera uno de los clásicos religiosos más importantes del mundo. Es parte del texto épico Majabhárata (posiblemente del siglo III a. C.). Consta de 18 capítulos y 700 versos. Su contenido es la conversación entre Krishna a quien los hinduistas consideran una encarnación de Visnú (mientras que los Krisnaístas lo consideran el origen de Visnú) y su primo y amigo Arjuna en el campo de batalla en los instantes previos al inicio de la guerra de Kurukshetra. Respondiendo a la confusión y el dilema moral de Arjuna, Krishna explica a éste sus deberes como guerrero y príncipe, haciéndolo con ejemplos y analogías de doctrinas yóguicas y vedánticas. Esto ha hecho que el Bhagavad-gita sea considerado un resumen breve de las doctrinas hinduistas. Durante su discurso, Krishna revela su identidad como el ‘mismísimo Dios’ (suaiam Bhagaván), bendiciendo a Arjuna con una impresionante visión de su divina forma universal.

The Secret Player
Summary
For those who enjoyed I Am the Secret Footballer, this new book delivers hard-hitting insights into the hidden world of professional football and footballers. In the vein of Hotel Babylon and Confessions of a GP, The Secret Player will fascinate football fans with its wealth of insider knowledge and willingness to talk, albeit anonymously, about the inner workings of the game. Based on the hugely popular 'The Player' columns in FourFourTwo magazine, the book gives a warts-and-all insight into the daily life of professional footballers. Month by month, it chronicles the oscillating rhythms of the season, from the trudge of pre-season to the 'squeaky-bum time' of promotion and relegation. The player himself has played at all levels of English football - from Premier League to a season of non-League - and represented England.
