Edison, His Life and Inventions by Frank Lewis Dyer audiobook.

Genre: biography

A detailed biography of Thomas Alva Edison, inventor of such things as the telephone, the microphone, the electric motor, the storage battery, and the electric light. In the words of the authors, 'It is designed in these pages to bring the reader face to face with Edison; to glance at an interesting childhood and a youthful period marked by a capacity for doing things, and by an insatiable thirst for knowledge; then to accompany him into the great creative stretch of forty years, during which he has done so much. This book shows him plunged deeply into work for which he has always had an incredible capacity, reveals the exercise of his unsurpassed inventive ability, his keen reasoning powers, his tenacious memory, his fertility of resource; follows him through a series of innumerable experiments, conducted methodically, reaching out like rays of search-light into all the regions of science and nature, and finally exhibits him emerging triumphantly from countless difficulties bearing with him in new arts the fruits of victorious struggle.'

The Grell Mystery by Frank Froest audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a rain-swept London night, American millionaire-adventurer Robert Grell leaves the comfort of his club for a secret appointment, just days before his society wedding to Lady Eileen Meredith. By morning, Grell is at the center of a scandalous puzzle: a man has been found murdered in the study of Grell's home, yet the dead man is not who the household insists he is. As whispers spread from drawing rooms to back alleys, Scotland Yard is called in to prevent a high-profile case from turning into a public humiliation. Leading the inquiry is Chief Inspector Heldon Foyle, a patient, relentless investigator who quickly realizes that every straightforward explanation falls apart under scrutiny. Grell himself has vanished, a veiled woman seems to hover at the edge of events, and a missing foreign valet deepens the sense that someone has staged the scene with care. With aristocratic reputations on the line and the criminal underworld offering its own shadowy truths, Foyle must sort genuine clues from deliberate misdirection and answer the question that drives the case: is this murder the work of chance, revenge, or a plan close to perfection?

Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche launches a provocative investigation into the hidden motives behind moral beliefs and the cultural assumptions people treat as timeless truths. Written as a series of sharp, energetic sections rather than a single linear argument, the book challenges readers to question ideas such as objective morality, absolute truth, and the comforting stories societies tell themselves about virtue and vice. Nietzsche targets the legacy of traditional European philosophy and religion, arguing that many 'higher' ideals can mask deeper drives: the will to interpret, to rank, to control, and to give life a meaning that favors certain types of people. Along the way he examines the psychology of philosophers, the social power of moral language, the tension between individual creativity and herd conformity, and the costs of intellectual honesty. With aphorisms that move from biting critique to visionary calls for new values, Nietzsche invites readers to look past familiar categories of good and evil and confront the unsettling possibility that moral systems are human creations, shaped by history, temperament, and struggle. The central conflict is the reader's own: whether to cling to inherited certainties or risk a harder freedom of thought.
