The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri audiobook.

Genre: poetry

The Divine Comedy (Italian: Commedia, later christened 'Divina' by Giovanni Boccaccio), written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321, is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great work of literature of the Middle Ages and the first great work of the Renaissance. A culmination of the medieval world-view of the afterlife, it establishes the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. - The Divine Comedy is composed of three canticas (or 'cantiche') — Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise) — composed each of 33 cantos (or 'canti'). The very first canto serves as an introduction to the poem and is generally not considered to be part of the first cantica, bringing the total number of cantos to 100. - The poet tells in the first person his travel through the three realms of the dead, lasting during the Easter Triduum in the spring of 1300

The Way of Peace by James Allen audiobook.

Genre: self help

In The Way of Peace, James Allen offers a calm, direct guide to finding steadiness in a restless world by working from the inside out. Rather than promising quick fixes, Allen argues that lasting peace is built through self-control, disciplined thought, and a sincere commitment to live by clear moral principles. Through a series of brief, focused reflections, he invites the listener to examine how anger, worry, and self-centered desires disturb the mind, and how patience, kindness, and humility can restore balance. Allen frames daily life as a training ground: every reaction, every choice of words, and every private thought becomes an opportunity to practice composure and strengthen character. Along the way, he presents meditation and quiet reflection as practical tools for clarity, encouraging a life shaped by purpose instead of impulse. Written in a simple, earnest style, this book speaks to anyone seeking resilience under pressure, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of inner order. The central conflict is not against external enemies, but against the habits of mind that steal peace - and the hard, hopeful work of replacing them with wisdom.
