Hydriotaphia – Urne Burial - Discourse of the Sepulchral Urns Lately Found in Norfolk

Thomas Brown

Sinopsis

Hydriotaphia, or Urn Burial is a work by Sir Thomas Browne. Its nominal subject was the discovery of some 40 to 50 Anglo-Saxon pots in Norfolk. The discovery of these remains prompts Browne to deliver, first, a description of the antiquities found, and then a survey of most of the burial and funerary customs, ancient and current, of which his era was aware. The most famous part of the work is the apotheosis of the fifth chapter which is considered a piece of absolutely sublime rhetoric.

Saurabh Singh Chauhan

This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, and author. He is considered to be one of the most influential figures in the Scientific Revolution. Bacon's work helped to lay the foundation for modern science by promoting the use of inductive reasoning and experimental observation. 
Bacon was born into a prominent family in London. His father, Sir Nicholas Bacon, was the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under Queen Elizabeth I. Bacon's mother, Anne Cooke Bacon, was a learned woman who taught him Latin and Greek at a young age. 
Bacon received a classical education at Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduating from Cambridge, he studied law at Gray's Inn. Bacon was admitted to the bar in 1582 and quickly rose through the ranks of the legal profession. 
In 1584, Bacon was elected to Parliament. He served in Parliament for over 20 years and was a vocal advocate for reform. Bacon also served in a number of government positions, including Solicitor General, Attorney General, and Lord Chancellor.

A Modest Proposal

Jonathan Swift

Dive into Jonathan Swift’s sharp satire in A Modest Proposal, one of literature’s most famous works of dark humor and social criticism. Written in 1729, Swift offers a shocking "solution" to the poverty and famine affecting Ireland, proposing the unthinkable with a calm, calculated rationale that highlights the cruelty and indifference of the ruling classes. Through biting irony, Swift forces readers to confront the realities of exploitation and dehumanization in society. 
Narrated by Ian Michael Turrell, this audiobook brings Swift’s complex wit to life. Turrell’s performance captures the serious tone Swift adopts to drive home his satire, immersing listeners in the mock-serious prose and unrelenting logic of Swift’s voice. 
Perfect for fans of classic literature, satire, and thought-provoking commentary, A Modest Proposal remains as impactful today as when it was first published, challenging listeners to question societal values and human compassion.
