Spirits in Bondage by C. S. Lewis audiobook.

Genre: poetry

Spirits in Bondage is C.S. Lewis’s first book and the first of his works to be available in the public domain. It was released in 1919 under the pseudonym of Clive Hamilton and was written in a period of darker thought for C.S. Lewis than was later evidenced in his Christian apologist writings.

The darkness of the verse is most evident in Part One (The Prison House), begins to change in the short transitional Part Two (Hesitation) and attains a more hopeful tone in the final Part Three (Escape). Yet a dreamy effect, influenced by Celtic and Druid mythology, persists throughout.

Spirits in Bondage consists of forty poems that provide an intriguing insight into the youthful heart of C.S. Lewis and occasionally provides interesting lyrical foreshadowing of some of the landscapes portrayed in his famous Chronicles of Narnia series.

The Art of Controversy (or - The Art of Being Right) by Arthur Schopenhauer audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

The Art of Controversy (or The Art of Being Right) (Die Kunst, Recht zu Behalten) is a short treatise written in 1831 by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in which he presents thirty-eight methods of gaining an unfair advantage in a debate and thereby being right even if you are wrong. Schopenhauer champions the virtue of dialectical argument, in his view wrongly neglected by philosophers in favour of logic, and goes on to discuss the distinction between our conscious intellectual powers and our will. The text is a favourite of debaters including the philosophers AC Grayling and Mary Warnock, and the Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

The Seven Sleuths Club by Carol Norton audiobook.

Genre: mystery

At Miss Demorest's Sunnyside Seminary, recreation breaks are filled with gossip, snowstorms, and big ideas - especially when spirited Merry Lee discovers that the local boys have their own secret detective society, the C.D.C., inspired by Conan Doyle. When the boys dismiss the notion that girls could ever solve mysteries, Merry and her friends do what they do best: band together. Their long-running S.S.C. - once the earnest Spread Sunshine Club - is reborn as the Seven Sleuths' Club, a lively sisterhood determined to prove its cleverness, uncover the boys' secrets, and find a real case worthy of their new name. Alongside quick-witted Peggy Pierce, kindhearted Gertrude, and the rest of the seven, Merry navigates school rules, sibling rivalries, and a swirl of schemes that range from charity parties to daring daytime investigations. Complicating everything is Geraldine Morrison, a wealthy new girl whose pride and polish make her an unlikely recruit - until unexpected happenings in Sunnyside begin to feel a little too suspicious to ignore. Warm, funny, and full of youthful daring, this classic middle-grade mystery celebrates friendship, confidence, and the thrill of following clues wherever they lead.
