Summary

In the refrains of Augustus J. C. Hare's 'The Story of My Life, volumes 4-6', the reader is treated to an intricate tapestry of personal narrative that deftly weaves through the fabric of historical and societal contexts. Hare's prose is characterized by its elegant, detailed, and somewhat didactic style, mirroring the Victorian era's literary traditions. With a historian's attention to detail and a storyteller's flair for the dramatic, these volumes traverse a transformative period of history, marked by cultural and technological shifts that are meticulously chronicled through Hare's experiential lens. The journey within these pages is both expansive and introspective, revealing nuanced observations of an evolving world and providing valuable insights into the 19th-century zeitgeist.

Augustus J. C. Hare was a man deeply embedded in the cultural and intellectual currents of his time. His background as an English cleric and raconteur lent him a unique perspective on a rapidly changing society. His astute observations are often shaped by his travels and interactions with contemporaries, effectively capturing the essence of his epoch. It is this personal connection to the world he lived in that lends 'The Story of My Life' its authenticity and power, marking it as a beacon of historical literature that transcends the boundary of mere autobiography.

Recommended for the discerning reader who seeks a window into the past through the eyes of one who lived it, 'The Story of My Life, volumes 4-6' is an essential work for understanding the Victorian ethos and its impacts on our contemporary society. Hare's vivid recounting offers more than mere history; it invites a deeper appreciation for the personal narratives that collectively shape our understanding of cultural identity and legacy. In the hands of history enthusiasts, literary scholars, or those entranced by the power of personal stories, these volumes promise an enriching journey through the rich tapestry of human experience.

    The Tao te Ching by the shadowy figure Lao-Tzu is the seminal text for the philosophical and religious tradition of Taoism. Scholars date the text to the 4th century BC and it has since become one of the most widely translated texts after the bible. The 'Book of the Way' is the philosopher's quintessential hand book for the art of living in accordance with Tao. At 5000 Chinese characters organized into 81 chapters the Tao te Ching is a short, yet poetic and esoteric experience.

    Did you know that the Balkans is home to some of the oldest cities in the world? 
    Many have heard the term “Balkans” tossed about but likely don’t know a whole lot about the region. The saga of the Balkans is profound yet incredibly complicated. Bordered by both the Balkan Mountains of southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, this region holds a strong place in the history of Western civilization and is also a major crossroads of Eastern civilization as well. 
    The Balkans have been the stomping grounds of both Byzantine emperors and Ottoman sultans. And both Christianity and Islam call this place home. Sadly, it was this clash of culture and religion that would lead to much of the struggles in the history of the Balkans. 
    Similar fault lines of conflict occurred in more recent years, especially when the Balkans erupted in bloodshed in the 1990s. The Balkans had just thrown off the fetters of decades of communism to embrace an uncertain future, only to be haunted by terrible demons from its past. 
    This audiobook takes a look at both the ancient past of this important part of the world, as well as more recent events. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about:The people who first called the Balkans home;The role and impact Alexander the Great had on the region;What life was like for the people of the Balkans during the Roman and Byzantine Empires;What changes did the Ottoman administration bring to the Balkans;The interesting roles the Balkans played during the two world wars;How communism penetrated into the Balkans and its influence today;What the Balkan states have been up to in more recent years;And much more!
