Saving the World

Julia Alvarez

4.9/5 (33009 ratings)

Description:🎧Listening Length = 16 hours and 16 minutesWith a “first-rate performance” (AudioFile) from the narrator and a “beautifully written” plot (Chicago Tribune): While her husband helps combat the AIDS epidemic in the Dominican Republic, author Alma falls down a rabbit hole researching the subject of her latest novel: a 19th-century orphanage director who joined a voyage to prevent the spread of smallpox in America. “Remarkable” (Diana Gabaldon).A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award with In the Time of Butterflies, author Julia Alvarez is a beloved voice in modern fiction and poetry. In Saving the World, she weaves the stories of two courageous women-separated by two centuries-into a breathtaking novel of love and idealism in an increasingly troubled world. A best-selling, Latin-American author living in Vermont, Alma stays behind when her husband travels to the Dominican Republic to help fight AIDS. She needs the time to work on her latest book, but she has terrible writer’s block. Soon, her focus is diverted to an entirely new story, that of the early 19th-century anti-smallpox expedition of Dr. Francisco Balmis. Accompanying Dr. Balmis was Doña Isabel, who cared for the orphan boys serving as living carriers of the smallpox vaccine. It is the narrative of the courageous Doña Isabel that provides hope and inspiration when Alma’s husband is taken captive. Mesmerizing and poetic, Saving the World is a visionary tale that raises profound questions about the world we live in-and whether or not it is beyond redemption.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
