  Meditations by Marcus Aurelius -...

  Meditations has been translated into English more than twenty times. This audiobook presents one of the most enduring versions — the classic translation by George Long — narrated in full, from the first page to the last. 
  These are the private reflections of a Roman Emperor, written between 161 and 180 CE, during military campaigns far from Rome. Marcus Aurelius never intended them for publication. He wrote them for himself, as a way of returning, night after night, to the questions that mattered most: how to face death without fear, how to respond to difficult people without losing patience, how to live in agreement with nature when nothing is within your control except your own mind. 
  This audiobook contains the complete, unabridged text of all twelve books, narrated by Daniel Carvalho, with a short editorial introduction placing the work in context. 
  Eighteen centuries after it was written, Meditations remains one of the most listened-to works of philosophy in the world — not because it offers easy answers, but because it asks the right questions, in the voice of a man who had no audience but himself. 
  Listen to the words of an emperor who ruled the known world, and chose, instead, to master himself.

  History of Marathas EP18 -...

  Tipu formed a large corps of young Muslim lads whom he called his sons and now provided them with handsome young wives from the Hindu fold. These atrocities were perpetrated during the wet months of 1785. In Malabar he had converted, in one stroke, a hundred thousand Hindus to his faith. Portuguese missionaries wrote that 'he tied naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces.' In 1786 he declared himself emperor and had the khutba read in his name in all the mosques throughout his kingdom. His contention was that 'those idiots who introduce the name of Shah Alam in the khutba act through ignorance since the real condition of the so called emperor is this: that he is actually enslaved and a servant of the Scindia. So to pronounce the name of someone dependent on the infidels while reciting the sacred khutba was blasphemy.

Martin Guerre, a peasant, abandons his family, only for a man claiming to be him to return years later. The impostor, Arnaud du Tilh, seamlessly integrates into Martin’s life, earning the trust of his wife and community. However, cracks in his facade lead to a dramatic trial that questions truth, loyalty, and justice. Dumas explores themes of identity, love, and societal expectations, painting a vivid picture of rural life and legal drama. A tale of intrigue and human complexity, it reflects on the fragility of trust and the consequences of ambition, blending history with suspenseful storytelling.

  The Big Change - America...

  During the first fifty years of the twentieth century, the United States saw two world wars, a devastating economic depression, and more social, political, and economic changes than in any other five-decade period before. Frederick Lewis Allen, former editor of Harper's Magazine, recounts these years—spanning World War I, the Progressive Era, the Great Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War—in vivid detail, from the fashions and customs of the times to major events that changed the course of history. 
   
   
    
  Politically, the United States grew into its own as a global superpower during these years, even as domestic developments altered the everyday lives of its citizens. The introduction of the automobile, mass production, and organized labor changed the way Americans lived and worked, while innovations like penicillin and government regulation of food safety contributed to an increase in average life expectancy from forty-nine years in 1900 to sixty-eight years in 1950. With the development of a strong, centralized government, a thriving middle class, and widespread economic prosperity, the nation emerged from the Second World War transformed in virtually every way. 
   
   
    
  Richly informative, The Big Change is an indispensable volume charting the many changes that ushered in our contemporary age.
