What Men Live By and Other Tales by Leo Tolstoy audiobook.

Genre: religion

Although Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a wealthy landowner, in his later life he had what was considered a “religious awakening.” This experience went on to inform his writing and his lifestyle in profound ways. His views transcended the specifics of religion, as known in his day - so much so he came to be a helpful guide both to Mohandas Gandhi and to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The four stories in this collection ask profound questions and gently supply helpful, non-dogmatic hints to their answerings: What is the most important thing to do? Who is the most important person? When is the most important time? What is worth owning? What is the most profound religion? What rules should men live by? How much land does a man need? Who is God? What should we bother to discuss? How should we act towards one another? How should we respond to cruelty and violence? And many more. Wonderful stories written in a relaxed style.

Insurgent Mexico by John Reed audiobook.

Genre: history

In the autumn of 1913 John Reed was sent to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to report the Mexican Revolution. He shared the perils of Pancho Villa's army for four months, present with Villa's Constitutional Army when it defeated Federal forces at Torreón, opening the way for its advance on Mexico City. Reed's time with the Villistas resulted in a series of outstanding magazine articles that brought Jack a national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed deeply sympathized with the plight of the peons and vehemently opposed American intervention, which came shortly after he left. Jack adored Villa, while Carranza left him cold. Jack's Mexican reports were later republished in book form as Insurgent Mexico, which appeared in 1914.

The Book of Wonder by Lord Dunsany ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

The Book of Wonder by Lord Dunsany audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

First published in 1912, The Book of Wonder gathers Lord Dunsany's luminous, dreamlike short tales into a single volume of mythic imagination. Each story opens a different door: a traveler strays into uncanny streets where ordinary rules dissolve; a king bargains with forces older than his throne; a hunter follows signs that seem to come from the edge of the world; and distant gods, monsters, and marvels drift through scenes that feel both ancient and newly invented. Dunsany's prose is rich, musical, and deceptively simple, conjuring enchanted cities, impossible beasts, and fateful choices with the calm certainty of a legend being remembered rather than invented. Beneath the jeweled surfaces lies a steady pulse of longing - for beauty, for escape, for answers that remain just out of reach - and a recurring reminder that wonder can humble as easily as it can delight. Ideal for listeners who love poetic fantasy and folklore-like storytelling, this collection invites you to surrender to atmosphere, mystery, and the strange logic of dreams, where every path may lead to awe and every wish carries its own shadow.
