  This is a small part of the book introduction : In the annals of history, there are rare figures whose lives transcend their time, leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of human civilization. Ashoka the Great, often dubbed "The Enlightened Ruler," stands as one such luminary figure. His story, one of profound transformation and enduring legacy, continues to captivate generations. 
  In this journey through the life and times of Ashoka, we traverse the corridors of ancient India, exploring an epoch marked by both conquest and enlightenment. The tale of Ashoka Maurya begins in 304 BCE, a significant year that heralded the birth of this remarkable figure in Pataliputra, the capital of the Maurya Empire. 
  From his earliest days, Ashoka's life was intertwined with the grand narrative of a powerful empire, where the fate of millions was shaped by the decisions of a few. We uncover the formative years of Ashoka's education and upbringing, the foundations upon which his reign would be built. 
  The ascent to the throne in 272 BCE marked a crucial turning point. Ashoka's journey as the third Mauryan emperor was not simply an ascent to power; it was the start of a profound odyssey, a saga marked by military conquests that painted the map of the empire in the hues of expansion.

  The famous and the obscure are illuminated under the penetrating, sometimes jaundiced eyes of author Henry Miller.
  Henry Miller's gifts of profundity, humor, and spiritual sensitivity are well displayed in this collection of insights into the human character. The pieces range from the delightfully raucous to the metaphysically illuminating. Included here are mini-portraits of the renowned—Swiss astrologer Conrad Moricand, collage artist Jean Varda, Swiss-French novelist Blaise Cendrars, and American painter Beauford Delaney—as well as the anonymous figures who crossed Miller's path, including his first high school romance; a prostitute named Mademoiselle Claude; Miller's alcoholic, philandering Uncle Harry; and a murderer that Miller dubs "Bud Clausen." Thanks to Miller's penetrating prose, all of these figures become real to the listener, even 19th century poet What Whitman.
  This recording contains material that may offend some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
