After some time, the frustrated Gregory finds Syme and leads him to a local anarchist meeting-place to prove that he is a true anarchist. Instead of the anarchist Gregory getting elected, the officer Syme uses his wits and is elected as the local representative to the worldwide Central Council of Anarchists.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass audiobook.

Genre: biography

In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass recounts his early years in bondage and his emergence as one of the 19th century's most powerful voices against slavery. Born into a system designed to erase identity and deny education, Douglass pieces together the story of his childhood on Maryland plantations, the constant threat of separation from family, and the everyday violence used to enforce obedience. As he grows older, he becomes determined to understand the world that enslaves him, pursuing literacy despite harsh prohibitions and learning how knowledge can be both dangerous and liberating. Douglass also confronts the psychological machinery of slavery: how it distorts religion, corrodes relationships, and rewards cruelty. Moving from one owner to another, he faces escalating tests of endurance and self-possession, including moments that force him to decide what kind of man he will be under relentless oppression. Clear-eyed, urgent, and fiercely humane, this memoir is not only a personal account of survival and awakening, but a direct challenge to a nation built on contradiction, demanding that listeners reckon with freedom, dignity, and the cost of injustice.

The Man Who Knew Too Much by G. K. Chesterton audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an influential and prolific English writer of the early 20th century. He was a journalist, a poet and a novelist. He wrote 80 books and 200 short stories in addition to his other work. He is perhaps best remembered for his ‘Father Brown’ stories; two collections of which are available at Librivox.org.

‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’ has some similarities to the Father Brown stories: Horne Fisher the eponymous hero is connected and indeed related to many of the high-ranking politicians of his age and thus ‘knows too much’ about the background of the mysteries in which he becomes embroiled and which he unravels.
