Not George Washington by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.
Genre: comedy
Before Jeeves, before Blandings, P. G. Wodehouse turned his comic eye on the making of a writer. Co-written with Herbert Westbrook, Not George Washington follows James Orlebar Cloyster, a mild-mannered young man with big literary ambitions and a talent for presenting himself as far more upright than his actions suggest. Through a brisk, multi-voiced narrative, we watch Cloyster navigate early jobs, journalistic hustle, and the temptations of quick success in London, while his romantic entanglement with Margaret Goodwin adds both warmth and complication to his plans. As friends, rivals, and would-be benefactors tell their sides of the story, the picture that emerges is less a heroic rise than a wry study of how reputation is manufactured - and how easily people bend the truth when applause, money, or simple gratification is at stake. Part lightly fictionalized memoir and part satire of literary posturing, this early Wodehouse novel sparkles with sharp social observation, playful shifts in perspective, and a central question: what does it really take to become somebody, if you are not exactly George Washington?

The Early History of the Airplane by Orville and Wilbur Wright audiobook.
Genre: history
The Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air flight, on 17th December 1903. They were not the first to build and fly aircraft, but they invented the controls that were necessary for a pilot to steer the aircraft, which made fixed wing powered flight possible. The Early History of the Airplane consists of three short essays about the beginnings of human flight. The second essay retells the first flight: This flight lasted only 12 seconds, but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it started.

![undefined - The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy by Padraic Colum ~ Full Audiobook [folklore]](https://storage.googleapis.com/goodpods-images-bucket/episode_images/163ccfa1b304c350c0da6ed6f88eb5afca44631a0283419c126ef3d9fa080af5.avif)
The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy by Padraic Colum audiobook.
Genre: folklore
Padraic Colum retells two of the ancient world's most enduring legends with a storyteller's clarity and momentum: the siege of Troy and the long, perilous homecoming of Odysseus. Beginning with the tangled rivalries and vows that draw Greek kings to the walls of Troy, the narrative introduces larger-than-life heroes and tragic choices on both sides, while the gods watch, argue, and intervene for reasons that are never purely noble. From the clash of champions and the testing of pride to the clever strategies that decide battles, the war becomes a crucible where honor and ambition constantly collide. When Troy's fate is sealed, the focus shifts to Odysseus, a warrior defined less by brute strength than by quick wits and stubborn endurance. His journey across wine-dark seas brings him face-to-face with monstrous dangers, enchanting islands, treacherous hospitality, and temptations that threaten to erase his name and his purpose. At its heart, this is a tale about courage under pressure, the cost of glory, and the fierce, sustaining pull of home and identity.
