12 juni 2022 · 1 uur 47 min
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771-90, and has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Lees meer
Benjamin Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them. In the "Introduction" of the 1916 publication of the Autobiography, editor F. W. Pine wrote that Franklin's biography provided the "most remarkable of all the remarkable histories of our self-made men" with Franklin as the greatest exemplar.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 –1790) was an American polymath active as a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher and political philosopher. Among the leading intellectuals of his time, Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and the first United States Postmaster General.
As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He founded many civic organizations, including the Library Company, Philadelphia's first fire department, and the University of Pennsylvania. (From Wikipedia).

The Enneads, by Plotinus. Volume I, Part II.
12 juni 2022 · 1 uur 53 min
The six Enneads are the collected writings of the Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus, arranged by his student Porphyry into fifty-four books with each Ennead containing nine. Lees meer
Plotinus was a student of Ammonius Saccas and the founder of Neoplatonism. His work, through Augustine of Hippo, the Cappadocian Fathers, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and several subsequent thinkers, has greatly influenced Western thought.
The translator Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie arranged these books chronologically rather than according to Porphyry's numeration. This recording is organized according to Porphyry's numeration with Roman numerals indicating the Ennead and numerals indicating the book e.g. VI.9 would be the ninth book of the sixth Ennead. A hyperlinked table of contents at Volume 1 Page 3 of the gutenberg.org text will enable you to jump to the specific Ennead if you wish to read along with the recording.

The Iliad, by Homer. Part VIII.
9 juni 2022 · 1 uur 37 min
The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem by Homer, written down around the 8th century BC, and among the oldest works of Western literature along with the Odyssey. Lees meer
Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Mycenaean Greek states (Achaeans), it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.
Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns, tend to appear near the beginning. Then the epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles's imminent death and the fall of Troy, although the narrative ends before these events take place. However, as these events are prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, when it reaches an end, the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War. (From Wikipedia).

Pensées, by Blaise Pascal. Part V.
4 juni 2022 · 2 uur 12 min
Pascal's Pensées is widely considered to be a masterpiece, and a landmark in French prose. When commenting on one particular section (Thought #72), Sainte-Beuve praised it as the finest pages in the French language. Will Durant, in his 11-volume, comprehensive The Story of Civilization series, hailed it as "the most eloquent book in French prose." Lees meer
In Pensées, Pascal surveys several philosophical paradoxes: infinity and nothing, faith and reason, soul and matter, death and life, meaning and vanity—seemingly arriving at no definitive conclusions besides humility, ignorance, and grace. Rolling these into one he develops Pascal's Wager.

Will Durant, in his 11-volume, comprehensive The Story of Civilization series, hailed it as "the most eloquent book in French prose." Lees meer
In Pensées, Pascal surveys several philosophical paradoxes: infinity and nothing, faith and reason, soul and matter, death and life, meaning and vanity—seemingly arriving at no definitive conclusions besides humility, ignorance, and grace. Rolling these into one he develops Pascal's Wager.

Common Sense, by Thomas Paine
1 juni 2022 · 2 uur 39 min
Thomas Paine has a claim to the title The Father of the American Revolution because of Common Sense, the pro-independence monograph pamphlet he anonymously published in 1776; signed "Written by an Englishman", the pamphlet became an immediate success. It quickly spread among the literate, and, in three months, 100,000 copies (estimated 500,000 total including pirated editions sold during the course of the Revolution) sold throughout the American British colonies (with only two million free inhabitants), making it the best-selling book ever. Paine's original title for the pamphlet was Plain Truth; Paine's friend, pro-independence advocate Benjamin Rush, suggested Common Sense instead. Lees meer
The pamphlet appeared in January 1776, after the Revolution had started. It was passed around, and often read aloud in taverns, contributing significantly to spreading the idea of republicanism, bolstering enthusiasm for separation from Britain, and encouraging recruitment for the Continental Army. Paine provided a new and convincing argument for independence by advocating a complete break with history. Common Sense is oriented to the future in a way that compels the reader to make an immediate choice, and argues strongly against any compromise short of independence. (From Wikipedia).

Native American Fairy Tales, by William Trowbridge Larned and Henry Rowe Schoolcraft
1 juni 2022 · 2 uur 49 min
With no written language, Native Americans living in the Lake Superior region passed their cultural identity down through the generations by way of stories. Far more than mere tales to amuse children, they passed along the collective wisdom of the tribes. Lees meer
In the 1830s, government Indian Agent and ethnologist Henry R. Schoolcraft learned the language of these peoples and went out to collect and preserve their stories before the tribes disappeared under the westward rush of American civilization. Though these stories were retold as children’s fairy tales in the 1920s, they contain much of the old wisdom of a culture which has largely disappeared.

Life on the Mississippi, by Mark Twain. Part VI.
29 mei 2022 · 2 uur 24 min
Life on the Mississippi is a semi-autobiographical travelogue by Mark Twain, published in 1883, that encapsulates his personal and artistic world and his turbulent and humorous approach to reality, his penchant for unrestrained structure, and his belief that there is no substitute for experience in the scaffolding of a book. Lees meer
The story takes as its subject the great Mississippi, whose waters flowed through the author's early years, as an apprentice and later as a steamer pilot, to know all its currents with which he managed to identify as like he were its higher guardian.
The identification of the author with the river, as well as the multiple, powerful and abundant styles that put them together, build little by little the shared myth of the Mississippi and of the writer, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who became, through a slow process of sublimation of their relationship, Mark Twain.
