The Iron Republic is one of the most fascinating and controversial lost works of the late 19th century—an extraordinary blend of adventure, political commentary, and speculative science fiction that challenges the limits of accepted history. First published in 1899, this mysterious narrative recounts the tale of an American politician who, disillusioned with the corruption of Washington, sails beyond the Antarctic ice barrier—only to discover an advanced civilization hidden on the other side. What he finds there is a society built on freedom, equality, and advanced technology—a startling contrast to the decaying moral and political landscape of his own world. Part utopian vision, part forbidden history, and part political satire, The Iron Republic explores timeless questions of liberty, governance, and the hidden truths that may lie beyond official narratives. Many modern researchers consider it an early example of the “breakaway civilization” theme, predating the modern hollow-earth and Antarctic conspiracy theories by decades. Narrated with Adultbrain’s signature clarity and depth, this audiobook resurrects a rare gem that speaks eerily to the disillusionment of our own age—where freedom is fading, truth is obscured, and adventure still calls from beyond the edge of the map.

The Amazons, a fascinating exploration of the legendary women-warriors who captured the Greek imagination. Rothery draws on classical texts, folklore, anthropology, and comparative histories to trace the myth’s evolution—and to ask: how much of the legend is rooted in fact? From the ancient Greek world through the reaches of Asia, Africa, and even the Americas, Rothery charts how the Amazon myth adapted across cultures and epochs. He examines geographical claims, social structures, ritual practices, and the psychological symbolism behind the enduring image of the warrior woman. Along the way, he ponders the tension between male-dominated societies and the cultural “otherness” embodied by the Amazons. This audiobook is equal parts scholarship and storytelling. Rich with speculative insight and literary reflection, it invites listeners to reconsider the line between history and myth, and to rediscover the potency of a figure who continues to inspire and provoke.

Long before modern theories of human origins took shape, William F. Warren proposed an extraordinary idea — that the cradle of civilization once lay in the far North, in a lost polar homeland remembered in ancient myths and sacred texts around the world. In Paradise Found, first published in 1885, Warren explores the world’s oldest legends — from Eden and Olympus to Asgard and Avalon — tracing their shared symbolism to a common source: a vanished paradise near the Pole. Drawing from comparative mythology, astronomy, and early anthropology, he builds a sweeping argument that challenges conventional history and invites us to reimagine our beginnings. Whether you approach it as bold speculation, inspired mythography, or a forgotten key to humanity’s past, Paradise Found remains a fascinating journey through the deepest layers of human memory — a blend of science, theology, and wonder that has influenced generations of thinkers and seekers. Brought to you by Adultbrain Publishing, this unabridged audiobook revives one of the 19th century’s most daring explorations into the origins of humankind and the mysteries of the Earth’s lost North.

Step into one of the most fascinating works of subterranean lore ever written. First published in 1908, The Smoky God recounts the extraordinary tale of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who claimed to have journeyed with his father through an opening at the North Pole into a vast hidden land within the Earth. Inside, they discovered a thriving civilization of giants, a lush inner sun known as “The Smoky God,” and a society far advanced in peace, longevity, and wisdom. Blending travel narrative, myth, and esoteric speculation, this gripping account has become a cornerstone of Hollow Earth theory and alternative history. Is it fact, allegory, or pure imagination? That question continues to fuel its enduring mystery. What is certain is that Emerson’s book has inspired generations of explorers, mystics, and seekers to question the boundaries of geography, science, and human possibility. Now brought to life in audiobook form, The Smoky God is more than a story—it is an invitation to explore the unknown and consider what wonders might lie hidden beneath our very feet.

The Kingdom of God Is Within You is Leo Tolstoy’s groundbreaking work on faith, morality, and the futility of violence. Written in 1894, this powerful book was banned in his native Russia, yet it became one of the most influential manifestos of nonviolent resistance in the modern world. Tolstoy argues that true Christianity is not found in the rituals of church or the authority of the state, but in the living example of Christ’s teachings—especially the command to resist evil not with force, but with love and forgiveness. His radical rejection of organized religion and state violence inspired generations of reformers, from Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King Jr. This audiobook brings Tolstoy’s prophetic voice to life, offering timeless wisdom for anyone seeking freedom from oppression, hypocrisy, and the empty promises of worldly power. More than a religious tract, it is a call to conscience—a reminder that the real revolution begins within the human soul.

In this third and final book of The Magus, Francis Barrett turns from magical practice to magical history—presenting a rare and invaluable compendium of the great minds who shaped Western occult philosophy. Book III offers concise biographical accounts of dozens of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance adepts, including Zoroaster, Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, Agrippa, and more. These are the sages, mystics, alchemists, astrologers, and magicians whose teachings laid the foundation for everything in The Magus. Far more than a bibliography, this is a spiritual lineage—a transmission of ideas and inspiration across generations. By exploring the lives and writings of these visionaries, Barrett reveals the continuity of esoteric wisdom through the centuries and situates his own work within a long tradition of initiates and seekers. Whether you’re a student of occult history or a practitioner of the arts, Book III offers insight into the intellectual and spiritual giants upon whose shoulders modern magic stands. Their philosophies echo across time—and this volume preserves their legacy.

The use of rituals, symbols, and seals to connect with angelic and planetary forces
Powerful examples of historical magic in practice

Classified for 50 years by the CIA – now the hidden truth is revealed. In 1966, The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas shocked the scientific world with a chilling theory: sudden, violent pole shifts have erased civilizations in a single day. Within months, the CIA seized the manuscript, releasing only a heavily redacted 57-page fragment decades later. The rest-over 200 pages-vanished from public view. Adam and Eve and the Great Reset uncovers the full story. From Hapgood’s Earth crust displacement theory to modern evidence of global floods, ancient civilizations, and lost knowledge, this investigation connects the dots between archaeology, astronomy, and suppressed history. Drawing on the work of Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock, The Comet Research Group, and The Ethical Skeptic, the book reveals that our ancestors left warnings carved into stone, encoded in myth, and aligned with the stars. Göbekli Tepe, the pyramids of Giza, and more than 175 flood legends all point to the same terrifying truth – Earth’s cataclysm cycle is real, and we may be closer to the next reset than we think. Secrets can be hidden. Warnings can be ignored. But the cycle cannot be stopped.

In Heretics, G.K. Chesterton delivers a sharp, witty, and unapologetically bold critique of the intellectual movements and cultural trends of the early 20th century. With his signature blend of humor, paradox, and piercing insight, Chesterton examines the philosophical “heresies” of his time — from moral relativism to secular materialism — and dismantles the fashionable ideas of prominent writers and thinkers. This is not a book of quiet observation; it’s a passionate defense of objective truth, faith, and reason in an age increasingly dominated by skepticism and confusion. Chesterton’s arguments are as relevant today as they were over a century ago, offering listeners a timeless exploration of the philosophical battles that shape culture and society. Perfect for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, and the clash of ideas, Heretics challenges conventional thinking and invites listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about belief, morality, and the human condition.
