  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  "For the child enduring a long winter of the heart, here is Spring’s gentlest whisper." 
  Winter felt endless, and the world outside seemed painted in shades of cold gray. For the child hiding behind the heavy curtains, stepping out felt like an impossible journey. But Spring doesn't knock loudly; it whispers. 
  From the quiet cracking of the frozen earth to the "ticklish" touch of the warm breeze, and the sudden, joyous explosion of yellow flowers, Asleep in Spring's Embrace follows the tender journey of a child learning to trust the world again. Through the soothing rhythm of nature, the protagonist discovers that the warmth they were searching for was waiting right outside the window.

  The Only Jealousy of Emer & The...

  This is the inevitable conclusion of the Myth of Cuchulainn as set out by W.B. Yeats.  
  "The Only Jealousy of Emer" is a story of self sacrifice and humility brought about through humiliation and debauchery. And yet, through all of that, each action taken by the characters in done out of love. If the other portions of Yeats' Myth of Cuchulainn  were about fealty, this play is about true devotion, even unto giving up that precious item at the bottom of Pandora's box.  
  As the title suggests, "The Death of Cuchulainn" is about as mythic and yet as human as the titular character. A man worn down with time, finally in acceptance of his fate. A fate still worth telling and felt in the Irish people today.

  The period known as the Avignon Papacy began in 1309, when Pope Clement V relocated the seat of papal power to Avignon, France. The French monarchy slowly gained control over the papacy during this time, and as they did, corruption and greed grew in the church. The troubadour and priest Raimon de Cornet staunchly opposed the Avignon Papacy for these reasons. He summarized his grievances in this noteworthy poem, in which he states, “I see the pope his sacred trust betray, / For while the rich his grace can gain alway, / His favors from the poor are aye withholden.”
