The Big Time by Fritz Leiber audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In The Big Time, Fritz Leiber drops you into a war that cannot be mapped on any battlefield: the Change War, fought across centuries by two shadowy factions known as the Snakes and the Spiders. Far outside ordinary time sits a cramped, worn, strangely cozy way station called the Place - part barracks, part backstage, part refuge - where wounded agents are patched up, debriefed, and sent back into history. Greta, the station's sharp-tongued, big-hearted hostess, keeps the fragile peace among a small, tense cast of soldiers, misfits, and drifters pulled from different eras. When a new arrival is dragged in from 20th-century America, he expects heroics and clear causes, but the Place runs on secrets, cover stories, and rules no one fully explains. Then something goes wrong: an unseen presence slips past safeguards that are supposed to be absolute, paranoia spikes, and the station's inhabitants must decide who to trust when even time itself is a weapon. Fast, witty, and claustrophobically intense, Leiber's classic explores identity, loyalty, and what a never-ending war does to the people trapped between its battles.

The Perfect Wagnerite by George Bernard Shaw ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

The Perfect Wagnerite by George Bernard Shaw audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

The Perfect Wagnerite: A Commentary on the Niblung's Ring (originally published London, 1898) is a philosophical commentary on Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, by the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Shaw offered it to those enthusiastic admirers of Wagner who 'were unable to follow his ideas, and do not in the least understand the dilemma of Wotan.' He interprets the Ring in Marxian terms as an allegory of the collapse of capitalism from its internal contradictions. Musicologically, his interpretation is noteworthy for its perception of the change in aesthetic direction beginning with the final scene of Siegfried, in which he claimed that the cycle turns from Musikdrama back towards opera.
