Free Download How to Be: Life Lessons from the Early Greeks (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9780008490812 | 2023 | 9 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 256 MB
Author: Adam Nicolson
Narrator: Leighton Pugh
Before the Greeks, the idea of the world was dominated by god-kings and their priests, in a life ruled by imagined metaphysical monsters. 2,500 years ago, in a succession of small eastern Mediterranean harbour-cities, that way of thinking began to change. Men (and some women) decided to cast off mental subservience and apply their own worrying and thinking minds to the conundrums of life. These great innovators shaped the beginnings of philosophy. Through the questioning voyager Odysseus, Homer explored how we might navigate our way through the world. Heraclitus in Ephesus was the first to consider the interrelatedness of things. Xenophanes of Colophon was the first champion of civility. In Lesbos, the Aegean island of Sappho and Alcaeus, the early lyric poets asked themselves 'How can I be true to myself?'

Author: Cory O'Brien
Narrator: Cory O'Brien
Prepare to Be Beaked by the Majestic Eagle of History. Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that: Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest. Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures. Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks. Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon. And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.

Author: Frieda Hughes
Narrator: Frieda Hughes
"He was a hectic, unprincipled bird, but it was impossible not to love him." From poet and painter Frieda Hughes, a memoir of love, obsession, and feathers. When Frieda Hughes moved to the depths of the Welsh countryside, she was expecting to take on a few projects: planting a garden, painting, writing her poetry column for The Times (London), and possibly even breathing new life into her ailing marriage. But instead, she found herself rescuing a baby magpie, the sole survivor of a nest destroyed in a storm-and embarking on an obsession that would change the course of her life. As the magpie, George, grows from a shrieking scrap of feathers and bones into an intelligent, unruly companion, Frieda finds herself captivated-and apprehensive of what will happen when the time comes to finally set him free. With irresistible humor and heart, Frieda invites us along on her unlikely journey toward joy and connection in the wake of sadness and loss; a journey that began with saving a tiny wild creature and ended with her being saved in return.
