Homer's Iliad and Odyssey - A...

Alberto Manguel

A worldwide exploration of the history, purpose, and inescapable influence of the Iliad and the Odyssey that will inspire listeners to think anew about Homer's work 
 
 
  
No one knows whether Homer was a real person, but there is no doubt that the epic poems assembled under his name are foundations of Western literature. The Iliad and the Odyssey—with their tales of the Trojan War, Achilles, Odysseus and Penelope, the Cyclops, the beautiful Helen of Troy, and the petulant gods—have inspired us for over two and a half millennia and influenced writers from Plato to Virgil, Pope to Joyce, and Dante to Margaret Atwood. 
 
 
  
In this graceful and sweeping book, Alberto Manguel traces the lineage of Homer's poems. He examines their original purpose, either as allegory or record of history; surveys the challenges the pagan poems presented to the early Christian world; and looks at their reception after the Reformation through the present day. In this revised and expanded edition, Manguel ignites new ways of thinking about these classic works.

Thought Vibration: Or the Law of...

William Walker Atkinson

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Here's everything to fill in for this audiobook:

Description (paste this):

Thought Vibration: Or, the Law of Attraction in the Thought World is a groundbreaking classic by William Walker Atkinson, first published in 1906 — one of the earliest and most powerful works ever written on the law of attraction. Long before the concept entered mainstream culture, Atkinson laid out with remarkable clarity the science of thought vibration: the idea that every thought you hold sends out a frequency into the universe, attracting people, circumstances, and outcomes that match its energy.

In this transformative audiobook, Atkinson takes listeners on a journey through the hidden mechanics of the mind. He explains how positive, focused, and confident thinking creates a magnetic force that draws success, opportunity, and abundance into your life — while fear, doubt, and negativity repel them. Chapter by chapter, he builds a practical framework for mastering your mental output and aligning your inner world with the life you desire.

This is not mere philosophy — it is a precise, actionable system for reshaping your reality from the inside out. Whether you are new to the law of attraction or have studied it for years, Atkinson's original vision will deepen your understanding and sharpen your practice. Timeless, direct, and profoundly empowering, Thought Vibration remains one of the most essential listening experiences in the world of personal transformation. This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.

Shmuel's Bridge - Following the...

Jason Sommer

A moving memoir of a son's relationship with his survivor father and of their Eastern European journey through a family history of incalculable loss. 
 
 
 
Jason Sommer's father, Jay, is ninety-eight years old and losing his memory. More than seventy years after arriving in New York from WWII-torn Europe, he is forgetting the stories that defined his life, the life of his family, and the lives of millions of Jews who were affected by Nazi terror. Observing this loss, Jason vividly recalls the trip to Eastern Europe the two took together in 2001. 
 
 
  
As father and son travel from the town of Jay's birth to the labor camp from which he escaped, and to Auschwitz, where many in his family were lost, the stories Jason's father has told all his life come alive. So too do Jason's own memories of the way his father's past complicated and impacted Jason's own inner life. 
 
 
  
Shmuel's Bridge shows history through a double lens: the memories of a growing son's complex relationship with his father and the meditations of that son who, now grown, finds himself caring for a man losing all connection to a past that must not be forgotten.

Socratic Dialogues The: Early...

Benjamin Jowett, Plato

Here, in this second collection of Socratic Dialogues from Plato's Early Period, read by David Rintoul as Socrates with a full cast, are contrasting six works. Often, as with Gorgias, which opens the recording, Socrates combats the popular subjects of sophistry and rhetoric, in direct conversation with Gorgias (a leading sophist teacher), and with one of his pupils, Callicles. 
 
In Meno, Socrates encounters another Gorgias pupil, Meno, and a debate on 'virtue' ensues. Virtue is also the topic in Protagoras, though this dialogue is largely narrated by Socrates (David Rintoul), who 'reports' the conversation which had taken place shortly before. 
 
Euthydemus is one of the most entertaining of all the Socratic Dialogues, with the two vastly overconfident brothers Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, supposedly capable wrestlers, boxers and musicians, who have come to Athens to teach sophistry. They enter into philosophical debate with Socrates, who at times is almost amazed by their brash sense of superiority. 
 
The Lesser Hippias dialogue considers issues of morality, truth and lies, with reference to Homer's great characters Achilles and Odysseus, while the Greater Hippias enquires into the nature of beauty. 
 
Translation: Benjamin Jowett.
