English | ASIN: B0D15G8F73 | 2024 | 7 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 218 MB
Author: Cass R. Sunstein
Narrator: Tom Beyer
It's hard to imagine our world without its stars and celebrity geniuses-they become a part of our culture and history, seeming permanent and preordained. But as Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book, that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music, literature, business, science, politics, and other fields, he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't, and offers a new understanding of the role of greatness, luck, and contingency in the achievement of fame. First, Sunstein examines recent research-on informational cascades, power laws, network effects, and group polarization-to probe the question of how people become famous.

Free Download Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CJCV4NK1 | 2024 | 8 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 246 MB
Author: Alonso Duralde
Narrator: Alonso Duralde
For generations, members of the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood needed to be discreet about their lives but-make no mistake-they were everywhere, both in front of and behind the camera. On the eve of the twentieth century, in Thomas Edison's laboratory, one of the earliest attempts at a sound film depicted two men dancing together as a third plays the violin. It's only a few minutes long, but this cornerstone of early cinema captured a queer moment on film. It would not be the last. With Hollywood Pride, renowned film critic Alonso Duraldepresents a history spanning from the dawn of cinema through the "pansy craze" of the 1930s and the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s, all the way up to today. He showcases the hard-working actors, writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, art directors, and choreographers whose achievements defined the American film industry and charts the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling itself-the way mainstream Hollywood decided it would portray (or erase) their lives and the narratives created by queer filmmakers who fought to tell those stories themselves.

Free Download Great Utopian and Dystopian Works of Literature [TTC Audio]
English | February 03, 2017 | ASIN: B01N9R5PHE | M4B@128 kbps | 12h 29m | 714 MB
Lecturer: Pamela Bedore
Can literature change our real world society? At its foundation, utopian and dystopian fiction asks a few seemingly simple questions aimed at doing just that. Who are we as a society? Who do we want to be? Who are we afraid we might become? When these questions are framed in the speculative versions of Heaven and Hell on earth, you won't find easy answers, but you will find tremendously insightful and often entertaining perspectives.
Utopian and dystopian writing sits at the crossroads of literature and other important academic disciplines such as philosophy, history, psychology, politics, and sociology. It serves as a useful tool to discuss our present condition and future prospects - to imagine a better tomorrow and warn of dangerous possibilities. To examine the future of mankind through detailed and fascinating stories that highlight and exploit our anxieties in adventurous, thought-provoking, and engaging ways. From Thomas More's foundational text Utopia published in 1516 to the 21st-century phenomenon of The Hunger Games, dive into stories that seek to find the best - and the worst - in humanity, with the hope of better understanding ourselves and the world.

Free Download Gothic Tales (Penguin Classics) (Audiobook)
English | October 21, 2021 | ASIN: B097TM8ZYK | M4B@128 kbps | 16h 25m | 894 MB
Author: Elizabeth Gaskell | Narrator: Olivia Forrest
This Penguin Classic is performed by Olivia Forrest. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Laura Keanzler.
Elizabeth Gaskell's chilling Gothic Tales blends the real and the supernatural to eerie, compelling effect. 'Disappearances', inspired by local legends of mysterious vanishings, mixes gossip and fact; Lois the Witch, a novella based on an account of the Salem witch hunts, shows how sexual desire and jealousy lead to hysteria; while in 'The Old Nurse's Story', a mysterious child roams the freezing Northumberland moors. Whether darkly surreal, such as 'The Poor Clare', where an evil doppelgänger is formed by a woman's bitter curse, or mischievous like 'Curious, If True', a playful reworking of fairy tales, all the stories in this volume form a stark contrast to the social realism of Gaskell's novels, revealing a darker and more unsettling style of writing.
