The Sun Also Rises (Classicus Edition)

Ernest Hemingway

Beschreibung

First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s groundbreaking novel of love, loss, and disillusionment in the aftermath of World War I. Set in the bohemian cafes of Paris and the sun-soaked streets of Pamplona, the story follows American journalist Jake Barnes and a group of expatriate friends searching for meaning amid the ruins of their generation. With its vivid scenes of bullfights, romantic entanglements, and restless wandering, the novel captures the reckless energy and emotional detachment of the “Lost Generation.”     At its heart is Jake’s aching devotion to the charismatic Lady Brett Ashley—a woman as magnetic as she is unattainable. Around them swirls a cast of war-damaged characters grasping at pleasure, pride, and purpose in a world that no longer makes sense. Hemingway’s lean, understated prose cuts through pretense and sentimentality, offering an honest, unflinching portrait of human connection in a time of spiritual drift.     Now presented by Classicus, this enduring classic remains as powerful and relevant as ever. The Sun Also Rises is not only a defining work of modernist literature—it’s a timeless meditation on identity, desire, and the fragile search for meaning in a world adrift.

Object Lessons (Unabridged)

Booker T. Washington

Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
OBJECT LESSONS: Not long ago an old coloured man living in this State said to me: "I's done quit libin' in de ashes. I's got my second freedom." That remark meant, in this case, that that old man by economy, hard work and proper guidance, after twenty years of struggle, had freed himself from debt, had paid for fifty acres of land, had built a comfortable house, and was a tax-payer.

The Facts in the Case of M Valdemar

Edgar Allan Poe

Title: The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar
Author: Edgar Allan Poe
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1845
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Number 48 in the Timeless Terrors series
Description:
The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most macabre and unsettling tales — a dark blend of science, mesmerism, and the boundaries of death itself.
Told in the clinical yet horrified voice of a mesmerist, the story recounts an experiment performed on a dying man — one meant to test whether the human spirit can be held between life and death by hypnosis. What follows is a grotesque and unforgettable account of suspended mortality, decomposition, and the terrible price of curiosity.
A masterpiece of Gothic horror and proto-science fiction, Poe’s tale remains as shocking today as it was in 1845 — a story that anticipates both modern medical ethics and the existential terror of consciousness trapped beyond the grave.
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels Poe’s eerie precision and the suffocating dread of the impossible made real. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar endures as one of Poe’s most chilling studies in the unnatural stillness between death and decay — where science dares to trespass upon the soul.
