The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen
English | MP3@192 kbps | 1h 12m | 100.1 MB
One day, a diabolical troll made a mirror that showed everything beautiful as ugly and all that was good as evil. Delighted, the trolls decided to carry their mirror to heaven and mock the angels, but on the way the mirror shattered and pieces of the mirror spread across the world. This was how some became windows and others were made into spectacles, but the most unfortunate received tiny pieces in their eyes or in their heart, changing their life for ever. That is what happened to little Kay, to the great chagrin of his neighbour, Gerda, and this is how he crossed the path of the Snow Queen.

The Shores of Bohemia A Cape Cod Story, 1910-1960 [Audiobook]
The Shores of Bohemia: A Cape Cod Story, 1910-1960 (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09VCRKY9L | 2022 | 11 hours and 5 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 296 MB
Author: John Taylor Williams
Narrator: Jeff Zinn

An intimate portrait of a legendary generation of artists, writers, activists, and dreamers who created a utopia on the shores of Cape Cod during the first half of the twentieth century. Their names are iconic: Eugene O'Neill, Willem de Kooning, Josef and Anni Albers, Emma Goldman, Mary McCarthy, Edward Hopper, Walter Gropius-the list goes on and on. Scorning the devastation that industrialization had wrought on the nation's economy and workforce in the early decades of the twentieth century, they gathered in the streets of Greenwich Village and on the beachfronts of Cape Cod. They began as progressives but soon turned to socialism, then communism. They founded theaters, periodicals, and art schools. They formed editorial boards that met in beach shacks and performed radical new plays in a shanty on the docks, where they could see the ocean through cracks in the floor. They welcomed the tremendous wave of talent fleeing Europe in the 1930s. At the end of their era, in the 1960s, as the postwar economy boomed, they took shelter in liberalism as the anti-capitalist movement fragmented into other causes.

English | ISBN: 9780008356712 | 2023 | 7 hours and 39 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 218 MB
Author: Christopher Hadley
Narrator: Guy Solocombe

For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look. In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today. The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets.

The Other Slavery The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America [Audiobook]

The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America (Audiobook)
English | November 04, 2016 | ASIN: B01M4RYLBS | M4B@64 kbps | 12h 38m | 392 MB
Author: Andrés Reséndez | Narrator: Eric Jason Martin
A landmark history - the sweeping story of the enslavement of tens of thousands of Indians across America, from the time of the conquistadors up to the early 20th century.
Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering The Other Slavery, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors, then forced to descend into the "mouth of hell" of 18th-century silver mines or, later, made to serve as domestics for Mormon settlers and rich Anglos.
