The Dawn of Day

Friedrich Nietzsche

The Dawn of Day
By Friedrich Nietzsche
What if the true dawn of humanity is not behind us, but still ahead? In The Dawn of Day, Nietzsche invites you to peer into the quiet moments before sunrise - where morality, truth, and belief begin to shift their shape.
Known as one of the most provocative minds in Western philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche sought to untangle the inherited dogmas of his age. This work marks a turning point in his thought, foreshadowing the bold ideas of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil. Here, Nietzsche begins to question the foundations of religion, ethics, and self - urging readers to wake from the slumber of convention and to seek their own truths.
Explore entries that challenge the origins of conscience, dissect the psychology of altruism, and examine the hidden instincts that shape our so-called morality. Each aphorism opens a door - sometimes to wonder, sometimes to unease - but always toward deeper self-awareness.
More than a philosophical treatise, The Dawn of Day remains a timeless journey into the labyrinth of human nature. Nietzsche's insights continue to influence thinkers, artists, and seekers over a century later. His call for intellectual courage is as relevant now as ever.
This immersive audiobook experience, brought to life with crystal-clear AI narration, delivers Nietzsche’s words with precision and emotional nuance—inviting you to engage deeply, reflect boldly, and listen actively.
Dare to step into the shadows before sunrise. Buy now and awaken your own dawn of thought.

One Step in a Poppy Field - The...

Bronwyn Royce

Thousands of miles away from where her son was deployed, a powerful premonition is devastatingly confirmed by a knock on the door from two faceless strangers bearing the news that her son had stepped on an improvised explosive device in the poppy fields of Afghanistan. He had lost both of his legs and suffered multiple other injuries, including partial amputation of all the fingers of his left hand. For forty-eight days she stood at his bedside. 
 
 
 
Not only did he survive against all odds, but in time he began to test the limits of his new capabilities and undertook the first of, what would prove to be, many physical challenges. Just eighteen months after injury, and as part of a team of four servicemen, he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. 
 
 
 
Told mostly from a mother's perspective with contributions from Cayle, the genesis of the book was in the diary she kept while he was in a medically induced coma. It is the story of an extraordinarily brave man who has been through the agonies of rebuilding his life, with the encouragement of family and friends. 
 
 
 
This was never meant to be another book about war or Afghanistan; it is a message of how love and hope can overcome adversity.
