Publisher's Summary:

«Государи Московские» — монументальный цикл романов, созданный писателем, филологом-русистом, фольклористом и историком Дмитрием Балашовым. Эта эпическая хроника, своего рода один грандиозный роман-эпопея, уместившийся в многотомное издание, охватывает период русской истории с 1263 до 1425 года и уже многие десятилетия не перестает поражать читателей глубиной, масштабностью, яркостью образов и мастерской стилизацией языка. Вместе романы цикла образуют своего рода летопись, в которой исторические события жизни крупных княжеств разворачиваются год за годом, где отражены быт и нравы различных сословий, представлены судьбы, облик и характер сотен исторических деятелей. Саблями татар добыл князь Александр Невский золотой стол владимирский — для себя, для своих детей. Досталась ему русская земля в крови и пепле сожженных городов, под гнетом татарской власти. Много сил положено на ее устройство, но еще больше трудов впереди… Роман «Младший сын» повествует о жизни первого московского князя, младшего сына Александра Невского Даниила Александровича.

Publisher's Summary:

'''Alone among his contemporaries, Charles Dickens seems to possess that instinctive sympthaty with whatever is human and humane which is the fundamental condition of genial and varied characterization. … in individualities which make us in love with our kind, he is unapproached.'' —The Atlantic Monthly, May 1867 The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger, of Blunderstone Rookery—or, as it's now more commonly known, David Copperfield—is considered one of literature's quintessential bildungsroman novels.

Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition. Unlike nearly all of Plato's philosophical contemporaries, Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years. The works which are most often assigned to Plato's early years are all considered to be Socratic dialogues, written from 399 to 387. Plato's Middle dialogues were writtten from 387 to 361 and Plato's latter dialogues were written in the period between 361 and his death in 347.  This anthology volume includes Five Dialogues of Plato; Euthyphro - Apology - Crito - Phaedo - Meno. Apology, Crito, and Phaedo are dialogues in which Plato details the Philosopher Socrates' last days. Meno is a Socratic dialogue that attempts to determine the definition of virtue in general, rather than particular virtues, such as justice or temperance. Plato's Euthyphro is set in the weeks leading up to Socrate's trial, it features Socrates and Euthyphro, a religious expert who attempts to define piety or holiness.

Title: Meno

Author: Plato

Narrator: Stacey M. Patterson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 33 minutes

Release date: May 20, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Meno  is a Socratic dialogue written by Plato. Meno begins the dialogue by asking Socrates whether virtue is taught, acquired by practice, or comes by nature. In order to determine whether virtue is teachable or not, Socrates tells Meno that they first need to determine what virtue is. When the characters speak of virtue, or rather arete, they refer to virtue in general, rather than particular virtues, such as justice or temperance. The first part of the work showcases Socratic dialectical style; Meno, unable to adequately define virtue, is reduced to confusion or aporia. Socrates suggests that they seek an adequate definition for virtue together. In response, Meno suggests that it is impossible to seek what one does not know, because one will be unable to determine whether one has found it.

Title: [German] - Somme, Flandern, Arras: Erinnerungen eines Maschinengewehrsoldaten aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg 1916 - 1917

Author: Ingo Möbius, Alfred Hermann

Narrator: Thomas Volle

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 42 minutes

Release date: May 18, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Im Ersten Weltkrieg waren von Herbst 1914 bis Sommer 1918 die Kämpfe an der Westfront von Materialschlachten und Grabenkämpfen bisher nicht gekannten Ausmaßes geprägt. Kein Angriff erfolgte, ohne vorher das gegnerische Stellungssystem mit größtem Artillerieeinsatz zu bearbeiten. Auf der Seite der Verteidiger genügten meist wenige Maschinengewehre, um auch stärkste Angriffe zum Stehen zu bringen. Über Jahre hinaus konnte keine der Kriegsparteien entscheidende Vorteile erringen. Ende Juni 1916 begannen die Briten an der Somme eine Offensive, nachdem auf den deutschen Stellungen ein siebentägiges Trommelfeuer gelegen hatte. Der britische Infanterieangriff brach unter schwersten Verlusten im Feuer der deutschen Maschinengewehre zusammen. Die Offensive an der Somme wurde zu einer monatelangen Abnutzungsschlacht. Auf beiden Seiten wurden immer neue Divisionen in den Kampf geworfen. Es gab kaum eine deutsche Einheit, die nicht das Grauen an der Somme durchleben mußte. Zu ihnen gehörte auch eine Maschinengewehrkompanie. Im vorliegenden Buch erinnert sich ein Angehöriger dieser Kompanie detailliert an seinen Fronteinsatz. Der Bericht umfaßt die Zeit von Sommer 1916 bis Sommer 1917. Nach dem Kampf an der Somme wurde seine Division im Frühjahr 1917 in der Schlacht bei Arras und im Sommer 1917 in der Dritten Flandernschlacht eingesetzt. Die Hauptlast dieser Kämpfe mußte stets der einfache Soldat tragen. Er mußte im vorderen Graben ausharren im tagelangen schwersten Artilleriefeuer, im Feuer der Minenwerfer, vermischt mit Sprengungen ganzer Grabenabschnitte und ständigem Gasbeschuß. Er mußte leben und überleben in diesem Inferno, mußte sich in die Erde einwühlen, im Trommelfeuer die Stellungen immer wieder neu anlegen und Angriffe abwehren. Und ganz nebenbei mußte er in dieser Hölle des Grabenkrieges essen und schlafen. Ständig die gleiche Uniform am Leib, geplagt von Läusen und Ratten, Hitze und Durst, Nässe und Schlamm, den Verwesungsgeruch unzähliger Leichen in der Nase, den Tod der Kameraden vor Augen, hielt er aus, bis auch ihn das Schicksal ereilte. In diesem Buch bekommt man Einblick in den Alltag des einfachen Soldaten im Großkampf an der Westfront des Krieges, der das alte Europa für immer veränderte.

Title: Crito

Author: Plato

Narrator: Stacey M. Patterson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 39 minutes

Release date: May 17, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Crito is a dialogue that was written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It depicts a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito of Alopece regarding justice, injustice, and the appropriate response to injustice after Socrates's imprisonment, which is chronicled in the Apology. In Crito, Socrates believes injustice may not be answered with injustice, personifies the Laws of Athens to prove this, and refuses Crito's offer to finance his escape from prison. The dialogue contains an ancient statement of the social contract theory of government. In contemporary discussions, the meaning of Crito is debated to determine whether it is a plea for unconditional obedience to the laws of a society. The text is one of the few Platonic dialogues that appear to be unaffected by Plato's opinions on the matter; it is dated to have been written around the same time as the Apology.

Title: Euthyphro

Author: Plato

Narrator: Stacey M. Patterson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 49 minutes

Release date: May 17, 2024

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Euthyphro  by Plato is a Socratic dialogue whose events occur in the weeks before the trial of Socrates (399 BC), between Socrates and Euthyphro.The dialogue covers subjects such as the meaning of piety and justice. As is common with Plato's earliest dialogues, it ends in aporia. In this dialogue, Socrates meets Euthyphro at the porch of the archon basileus (the 'king magistrate') at that time. Socrates tells him that he is preparing to go to court against the charges of Meletus on the grounds of impiety. Euthyphro tells Socrates that he is going to court himself to prosecute his father for binding a worker in chains and leaving him to die. This has granted him the ire of his own family who believe his father was in the right. The worker had killed a fellow worker, which they believe exempts his father from liability for leaving him bound in the ditch to starve to death. Since Euthyphro seems assured of himself, Socrates asks him to define piety. His help will clarify Socrates' case in the courtroom. If Socrates is asked to define piety, he can simply rely on Euthyphro's definition. This however leads to the main dilemma of the dialogue when the two cannot come to a satisfactory conclusion. Is something pious because the gods approve of it or do the gods approve of it because it is pious? This aporic ending has led to one of the longest theological and meta-ethical debates in history.
