  Imperial Rome saw the rise of good and bad emperors. How much do you really know about their lives? 
  To this day, we feel the influence of imperial Rome. After all, imperial Rome was one of the first successful “melting pots” of cultures. The Romans took what worked and discarded what didn’t work, showing that it was possible to have a stable, centralized government over an extremely large area. 
  But there’s also another side to imperial Rome. Intrigue, treachery, love of power, narcissism, and lunacy—these are all interrelated in the fascinating history of imperial Rome. If you like Game of Thrones, you’ll most certainly like this audiobook; the only thing is, it has no dragons. 
  But you don’t need fictional beings to appreciate what very real humans did thousands of years ago. And Roman emperors, in spite of being worshiped like gods, were just that: real human beings with their own good and bad sides. By delving deeper into the lives of Roman emperors, we can understand the Roman history and ourselves better. 
  There is much to discover within this audiobook. Some of what you learn includes the following:The downfall of the Roman Republic and the emergence of the illustrious Roman Empire;Caesar’s life and conquests, as well as his ultimate assassination at the hands of his senators;The fascinating life of Octavian Augustus and the start of the Pax Romana;Gradual “reduction” in the quality of emperors, starting with bureaucratic Tiberius, who ultimately left Rome;The incredible life of Tiberius’s successor, Caligula, who gained much notoriety;The long reign of Emperor Claudius, whose two wives, Messalina and Agrippina the Younger, shaped the future of Rome;

  Mary Barton: A Tale of...

  Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

  Mary Barton: A Tale of Manchester Life  was Mrs Gaskell's first full-length novel. It was published anonymously in that tumultuous year of political change, 1848 - only a few months after the Communist Manifesto co-authored by her fellow Manchester-resident, Friedrich Engels. Engels's experience as agent in his father's cotton-spinning factory motivated him to write "The Condition of the Working Class in England", a classic account of the sufferings of the poor under the factory-system. 
  Elizabeth Gaskell's own personal contact with the plight of the poor cotton workers of Lancashire also compelled her to a compassionate examination of their lives; but as a middle-class woman, married to a Unitarian minister, her approach to her subject took on a more emotionally complex significance; influenced by religious faith but also by more personal considerations. 
  In the brief preface to the novel, Mrs Gaskell hints at her initial impulse. The loss of a beloved child in infancy led her to seek a therapeutic outlet, but one which left her uncertain of her capacity to contextualize her public, writerly response to the tragedies occurring in the surrounding society of Manchester's poorest classes: "I know nothing of Political Economy, or the theories of trade..." She was, however, determined to portray, in novelistic form, the intimate connection between the private experience of her characters and the social forces of her time. The success of the novel led her to proclaim her authorship and move on to further works of fiction, which have secured her in our times a mounting reputation as one of the leading novelists of the mid-Victorian period. 
  Certainly the novel features numerous death-scenes, all conveyed with a depth of sympathy that contrasts with the queasy iambics with which Dickens orchestrated the notorious demise of Little Nell. Mrs Gaskell was not, like Dickens, a London-based novelist observing the sufferings of the provincial poor with a journalistic detachment - as evidenced in his own admirable, Lancashire-based novel "Hard Times". Gaskell lived among the people whose attenuated lives she chronicled - and however hesitantly, as a début novelist, she rendered their experience in literary terms, her writing presents us with a true insight into the sufferings of individuals at a point in history when the mass of human beings fell casualty to the forms of economic progress following upon the Industrial Revolution. Most impressively she called into question the political and social cost of creating a resentful proletariat despairing of survival in (to quote Karl Marx) a "heartless world". 
  Our reader Tony Foster is a resident of Manchester and a near-neighbour of Mrs Gaskell (allowing for their separation in time). His superb narration renders the native speech of her characters with an authenticity which ideally conveys the spirit of this book. A truly moving experience awaits everyone who gives ear to this 'Tale of Manchester Life'.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Discover the uncomfortable truth about confidence and why the self-assurance you project often has little connection to actual competence or reality. This thought-provoking audiobook explores the psychology of confidence, revealing how this feeling is manufactured by your brain regardless of your true abilities. Learn why overconfident people consistently outperform the equally skilled but humble in job interviews, negotiations, and social situations despite knowing less. The narrator examines the Dunning-Kruger effect, imposter syndrome, and the cognitive mechanisms that create our sense of certainty about uncertain things. Understand why your brain generates confidence to help you function rather than to accurately reflect your capabilities, and how this illusion affects every decision you make. Discover the surprising research showing confident people are not more successful because they are better but because confidence itself creates success through social dynamics. This audiobook reveals how confidence bias influences hiring, promotion, relationships, and public trust in ways that reward bravado over substance. Learn to recognize false confidence in yourself and others while developing authentic self-assurance grounded in genuine competence. Essential listening for professionals, leaders, and anyone seeking to understand the hidden role confidence plays in success and failure.
