Sinopse

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Gulliver's Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre.

It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

The book was an immediate success. The English dramatist John Gay remarked "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." In 2015, Robert McCrum released his selection list of 100 best novels of all time in which Gulliver's Travels is listed as "a satirical masterpiece".

It is uncertain exactly when Swift started writing Gulliver's Travels. (Much of the writing was done at Loughry Manor in Cookstown, County Tyrone, whilst Swift stayed there.) Some sources[which?] suggest as early as 1713 when Swift, Gay, Pope, Arbuthnot and others formed the Scriblerus Club with the aim of satirising popular literary genres.

    This book is about fighting, learning and studying people. 
    It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years. 
    Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports.Why fight and what can I get from it? How much effort is it worth?Can I become better and fulfilled through fighting?How to learn combat efficiently? Which martial arts are currently martial and which have become just an art?How can my insecurities be related to my need to fight? How being an adrenaline junkie and my ego can harm me and others?Why are there so many weird guys in the gyms? Where are the true sensei?What can meditation techniques have to do with all this? 
    It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”. 
    This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower. 
    I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves.

    Mars the Warning 
    Book 6 of 6 – the reckoning 
    This final story in the series I have written is summarized below; 
    Six months after humanity's retreat from Mars, crystalline ships materialize around Earth in silent siege. Dr. Lin Mei deciphers their ultimatum: Depart the solar system or face annihilation—not as vengeance, but as cosmic stewardship. While General Drake advocates futile resistance, Lin orchestrates the Exodus, a desperate evacuation of 50 million aboard prototype starships. Billions are left behind as Earth's systems collapse under Martian-induced blackouts. The Martians dismantle orbital defenses with terrifying precision, proving resistance impossible. Lin's final message—"We understand. We will not return"—echoes into the void as humanity flees. Decades later, on distant Kepler-186f, Lin watches the first post-exodus generation play, humbled but hopeful. The Martians, having preserved Earth as a warning, vanish into cosmic silence. Humanity's reckoning ends not with extinction, but with exile—a second chance to evolve beyond conquest, under alien suns.  
    I do hope you enjoy this sixth instalment, and its only $3. 
    the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm, 1 minutes plus.  
    The book itself runs to about 35 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
