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.

He Knew He Was Right by Anthony Trollope audiobook.

Genre: drama

In Anthony Trollope's He Knew He Was Right, a comfortable Victorian marriage begins to fracture under the slow, relentless pressure of pride and suspicion. Louis Trevelyan, an honorable, high-minded English gentleman, becomes convinced that his wife, the spirited and independent Emily, is behaving improperly in her friendship with a charming older colonel. What starts as a demand for reassurance hardens into a test of obedience, and soon Louis' certainty turns into an obsession that isolates him from family, friends, and the reasonable counsel of those who care for him. Emily, unwilling to accept humiliation or surrender her sense of dignity, resists in ways that only deepen the conflict. As the Trevelyan household splinters, Trollope widens the lens to include a lively network of relatives, suitors, and social climbers whose romantic schemes and moral compromises echo the novel's central questions about power, duty, and self-deception. Moving from drawing rooms to country estates, the story builds through escalating confrontations, legal and financial pressures, and the devastating emotional cost of being unable to yield. With psychological insight and sharp social observation, Trollope traces how a private conviction can become a public catastrophe.

Spirits in Bondage by C. S. Lewis ~ Full Audiobook [poetry]

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.
