    Brewsters Millions by George Barr McCutcheon ~ Full Audiobook [comedy]

    Brewsters Millions by George Barr McCutcheon audiobook. Genre: comedy When young Montgomery Brewster, a down-on-his-luck New Yorker with a stubborn sense of honor, learns he has been named in an extraordinary will, it feels like a miracle. But the legacy comes with a maddening condition: before he can claim a vast fortune, he must first spend a smaller fortune in a limited time, and he must do it under strict rules that prevent easy loopholes. Suddenly Brewster is racing the calendar, hounded by lawyers, watched by skeptics, and tempted by strangers who want a piece of the spectacle. As he tries to burn through money without falling into scandal or outright crime, every impulsive purchase creates new problems: friendships are tested, motives are questioned, and romance becomes tangled with suspicion. George Barr McCutcheon turns Brewster's predicament into a sharp, fast-moving satire about greed, appearances, and the strange ways society treats wealth. Is it possible to spend extravagantly and still keep your integrity intact - and what does money really reveal about the people closest to you?

    On the Future of Our Educational Institutions by Friedrich Nietzsche ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

    On the Future of Our Educational Institutions by Friedrich Nietzsche audiobook. Genre: philosophy In On the Future of Our Educational Institutions, Friedrich Nietzsche delivers a provocative diagnosis of what education is becoming and what it ought to be. Framed as a sequence of public lectures, the work follows a young listener drawn into an intense conversation about the fate of schools, universities, and culture itself. Nietzsche argues that modern education is being pulled in two dangerous directions at once: toward mass expansion that prizes usefulness and quick credentials, and toward narrow specialization that produces experts without inner cultivation. Against these trends, he defends Bildung - the slow formation of character, taste, and intellectual integrity - and insists that great teachers, serious language study, and a living relationship to art and classical learning are not luxuries but the conditions for genuine culture. Along the way, he questions who education should serve, what kind of human being it should shape, and how institutions can resist the pressures of the state, the market, and fashionable opinion. Urgent, satirical, and fiercely idealistic, Nietzsche's lectures remain a bracing challenge to anyone who cares about what learning is for. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 01 (00:07:45) Chapter 02 (00:21:11) Chapter 03 (01:17:26) Chapter 04 (02:16:00) Chapter 05 (03:04:30) Chapter 06 (03:59:40) Chapter 07 Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Birth of Tragedy; or, Hellenism and Pessimism by Friedrich Nietzsche ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

    The Birth of Tragedy; or, Hellenism and Pessimism by Friedrich Nietzsche audiobook. Genre: philosophy In The Birth of Tragedy; or, Hellenism and Pessimism, Friedrich Nietzsche launches a bold investigation into the origins of Greek tragedy and what it reveals about art, culture, and the human need to find meaning in suffering. Writing with the urgency of a young classical scholar turning into a philosopher, Nietzsche argues that the greatest works of Greek drama arose from a tense partnership between two artistic drives: the Apollonian, associated with form, clarity, and dreamlike beauty, and the Dionysian, associated with ecstasy, music, intoxication, and the dissolution of the individual into a larger life-force. Through this lens he revisits the world of Aeschylus and Sophocles, the role of chorus and myth, and the cultural turning point he sees in Socrates and the rise of rational optimism. Nietzsche also draws a provocative line from ancient Athens to modern Europe, asking whether modern culture has lost the capacity for tragic wisdom and how music, especially the spirit of drama and opera, might restore it. Part cultural diagnosis and part manifesto, this book challenges listeners to reconsider why we create art and what it costs to face reality without illusions. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 00 (00:44:40) Chapter 01 (01:21:05) Chapter 02 (01:24:20) Chapter 03 (01:38:55) Chapter 04 (01:49:35) Chapter 05 (02:00:20) Chapter 06 (02:12:31) Chapter 07 (02:30:51) Chapter 08 (02:42:51) Chapter 09 (02:59:06) Chapter 10 (03:19:46) Chapter 11 (03:38:11) Chapter 12 (03:49:06) Chapter 13 (04:06:11) Chapter 14 (04:24:21) Chapter 15 (04:34:46) Chapter 16 (04:48:41) Chapter 17 (05:04:56) Chapter 18 (05:23:26) Chapter 19 (05:41:11) Chapter 20 (05:54:23) Chapter 21 (06:18:53) Chapter 22 (06:27:43) Chapter 23 (06:49:08) Chapter 24 (07:02:48) Chapter 25 (07:16:28) Chapter 26 (07:30:23) Chapter 27 (07:35:30) Chapter 28 Learn more about your ad choices.

    About Orchids, a Chat by Frederick Boyle ~ Full Audiobook [science]

    About Orchids, a Chat by Frederick Boyle audiobook. Genre: science In About Orchids, a Chat, Victorian writer and enthusiastic gardener Frederick Boyle invites listeners into his small 'bungalow' garden and orchid houses for a candid, witty, and practical conversation about one of the most coveted plant families on earth. Writing as a self-confessed amateur who began with more curiosity than expertise, Boyle recounts his early misconceptions, costly mistakes, and hard-won discoveries as he learns how light, ventilation, humidity, and watering can make the difference between orchids that merely survive and orchids that flourish. Along the way he introduces the colorful world surrounding orchid culture: auctions where prized plants change hands, collectors chasing rare varieties, and the emerging trade that brings spectacular species from distant forests into European glasshouses. Boyle's central mission is to strip away the intimidating mystique and show that orchid growing is not reserved for the wealthy or the professionally staffed estate. At the same time, he does not ignore the larger consequences of the craze, touching on the waste and pressure that commercial collecting can place on wild habitats. Part memoir, part guide, and part cultural snapshot, this book celebrates the beauty of orchids while challenging the listener to grow them with patience, observation, and respect. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 01 (00:15:32) Chapter 02 (00:36:56) Chapter 03 (01:00:59) Chapter 04 (01:26:43) Chapter 05 (01:58:00) Chapter 06 (02:26:30) Chapter 07 (02:51:58) Chapter 08 (03:17:28) Chapter 09 (03:45:27) Chapter 10 (04:09:28) Chapter 11 (04:23:20) Chapter 12 (04:45:18) Chapter 13 (05:04:03) Chapter 14 (05:31:46) Chapter 15 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Is War Diminishing by Frederick Adams Woods ~ Full Audiobook [history]

    Is War Diminishing by Frederick Adams Woods audiobook. Genre: history Written in 1915 in the shadow of the First World War, Is War Diminishing? asks a blunt question that still unsettles modern readers: are nations actually becoming more peaceful, or do we merely change the shape and scale of conflict? Historian Frederick Adams Woods, working with Alexander Baltzly, approaches the problem with an unusually quantitative mindset for its era. Instead of relying on moral arguments or political hopes, they assemble a long view of European history, tracking the prevalence of war from 1450 up to their present day. Country by country, the authors count years of warfare among the major European powers, compare long stretches of peace to recurring eruptions of violence, and present their findings through clear summaries and charts. Along the way, they confront the difficulties of definition (what counts as a war, and for whom?), the distortions of incomplete records, and the temptation to read progress into any temporary lull. The result is a bracing, data-driven challenge to easy optimism, and an invitation to think harder about the forces that sustain war and the conditions that might truly restrain it. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 00 (00:10:36) Chapter 01 (00:46:34) Chapter 02 (00:53:55) Chapter 03 (01:06:50) Chapter 04 (01:13:40) Chapter 05 (01:35:42) Chapter 06 (01:45:18) Chapter 07 (01:50:07) Chapter 08 (01:59:30) Chapter 09 (02:06:15) Chapter 10 (02:21:08) Chapter 11 (02:31:42) Chapter 12 (02:42:04) Chapter 13 (02:53:33) Chapter 14 Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Influence of Monarchs by Frederick Adams Woods ~ Full Audiobook [history]

    The Influence of Monarchs by Frederick Adams Woods audiobook. Genre: history In The Influence of Monarchs, physician and early social scientist Frederick Adams Woods sets out to test a bold claim: that the personal qualities of rulers can measurably shape the fortunes of nations. Writing in 1913, Woods proposes a 'new science of history' he calls historiometry, blending biography, genealogy, and comparative historical narrative to look for patterns rather than isolated anecdotes. He surveys the rise and decline of fourteen European states and places their turning points alongside the reigns of kings and queens, asking whether periods of national strength align with monarchs marked by unusual intelligence, energy, and force of will. Drawing on large family networks among royal and noble houses, Woods also weighs heredity against circumstance, treating dynastic succession as a natural experiment in leadership. Part political history, part philosophical argument, and part early quantitative study, the book invites listeners to consider how much history is driven by institutions and social movements - and how much by the character of the individual at the top. The result is a provocative, method-driven tour through European monarchy and the causes of national change. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 00 (00:08:02) Chapter 01 (00:34:52) Chapter 02 (01:18:43) Chapter 03 (02:14:59) Chapter 04 (02:38:45) Chapter 05 (02:46:57) Chapter 06 (02:57:26) Chapter 07 (03:05:20) Chapter 08 (03:47:46) Chapter 09 (04:05:43) Chapter 10 (04:36:44) Chapter 11 (05:00:53) Chapter 12 (05:19:57) Chapter 13 (05:53:02) Chapter 14 (06:10:19) Chapter 15 (06:27:52) Chapter 16 (07:10:45) Chapter 17 (07:55:47) Chapter 18 (08:59:42) Chapter 19 (09:47:51) Chapter 20 (10:58:54) Chapter 21 (12:10:49) Chapter 22 (12:38:57) Chapter 23 (12:45:11) Chapter 24 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Oscar Wilde - His Life and Confessions by Frank Harris ~ Full Audiobook [biography]

    Oscar Wilde - His Life and Confessions by Frank Harris audiobook. Genre: biography In Oscar Wilde - His Life and Confessions, journalist, editor, and notorious raconteur Frank Harris offers a vivid, argumentative portrait of one of the most dazzling figures of the late Victorian world. Part biography, part memoir, and part personal testimony, the book traces Wilde's rise from brilliant student and apostle of aestheticism to celebrated playwright and social lion, while also probing the private appetites and risky choices that collided with the era's strict moral codes. Harris writes not as a distant scholar but as a man who knew Wilde, recreating conversations, drawing sharp character sketches of friends and enemies, and insisting on his own interpretation of what Wilde wanted, feared, and believed. Alongside the glamour of salons and opening nights, Harris follows the tightening net of gossip, law, and public outrage, and the devastating consequences that follow when wit and fame prove no shield. The result is a dramatic, intimate account of genius, self-invention, and the price of defiance, as well as a revealing look at the storyteller behind the story. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 00 (00:09:27) Chapter 01 (00:46:17) Chapter 02 (01:09:15) Chapter 03 (01:32:45) Chapter 04 (02:13:50) Chapter 05 (02:44:28) Chapter 06 (03:03:49) Chapter 07 (03:21:17) Chapter 08 (03:58:01) Chapter 09 (04:17:29) Chapter 10 (04:39:19) Chapter 11 (05:12:53) Chapter 12 (05:59:58) Chapter 13 (06:42:54) Chapter 14 (07:40:20) Chapter 15 (08:32:13) Chapter 16 (09:24:32) Chapter 17 (10:06:55) Chapter 18 (10:38:33) Chapter 19 (11:22:01) Chapter 20 (11:55:36) Chapter 21 (12:44:08) Chapter 22 (13:15:02) Chapter 23 (13:48:46) Chapter 24 (14:23:36) Chapter 25 (15:00:46) Chapter 26 (15:40:53) Chapter 27 (15:58:36) Chapter 28 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Rural Improvement by Frank Albert Waugh ~ Full Audiobook [science]

    Rural Improvement by Frank Albert Waugh audiobook. Genre: science Written in the early 20th century by landscape gardener and horticulturist Frank Albert Waugh, Rural Improvement is a practical manifesto for making the American countryside not only productive, but livable, orderly, and beautiful. Aimed at farmers, village residents, and local leaders, the book applies principles of civic art to small towns and open-country neighborhoods: how roads should be laid out and cared for, how public grounds can serve community life, and how private homes, barns, fences, plantings, and farmyards can be planned with both usefulness and good taste in mind. Waugh treats improvement as a shared responsibility, arguing that prosperity alone does not guarantee comfort or dignity unless communities choose to invest in design, maintenance, and public-minded habits. Moving from broad principles to concrete examples, he connects architecture, horticulture, and town planning to everyday rural problems, from neglected streetscapes to poorly used commons. The central tension running through the book is how to balance economy and function with lasting beauty and civic pride, and how ordinary citizens can cooperate to raise the standard of rural life without losing its character. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 00 (00:04:55) Chapter 01 (00:24:42) Chapter 02 (00:34:53) Chapter 03 (00:57:41) Chapter 04 (01:21:40) Chapter 05 (01:35:47) Chapter 06 (01:51:26) Chapter 07 (02:06:42) Chapter 08 (02:22:38) Chapter 09 (02:37:45) Chapter 10 (02:58:41) Chapter 11 (03:14:55) Chapter 12 (03:35:30) Chapter 13 Learn more about your ad choices.
