Title: Spinoza Problem: A Novel

Author: Irvin D. Yalom

Narrator: Traber Burns

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2019-02-05

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

When sixteen-year-old Alfred Rosenberg is called into his headmaster's office for anti-Semitic remarks he made during a school speech, he is forced, as punishment, to memorize passages about Spinoza from the autobiography of the German poet Goethe. Rosenberg is stunned to discover that Goethe, his idol, was a great admirer of the Jewish seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. Long after graduation, Rosenberg remains haunted by this 'Spinoza problem': how could the German genius Goethe have been inspired by a member of a race Rosenberg considers so inferior to his own, a race he was determined to destroy?

Spinoza himself was no stranger to punishment during his lifetime. Because of his unorthodox religious views, he was excommunicated from the Amsterdam Jewish community in 1656, at the age of twenty-four, and banished from the only world he had ever known. Though his life was short and he lived without means in great isolation, he nonetheless produced works that changed the course of history.

Over the years, Rosenberg rose through the ranks to become an outspoken Nazi ideologue, a faithful servant of Hitler, and the main author of racial policy for the Third Reich. Still, his Spinoza obsession lingered. By imagining the unexpected intersection of Spinoza's life with Rosenberg's, internationally bestselling novelist Irvin D. Yalom explores the mindsets of two men separated by 300 years. Using his skills as a psychiatrist, he explores the inner lives of Spinoza, the saintly secular philosopher, and of Rosenberg, the godless mass murderer.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing you are my life.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror. KAHLIL GIBRAN

The Prophet is a book of twenty six simple prose fables written in by the fabled Lebanese-American poet and writer Kahlil Gibran. It was originally published in 1923 by Alfred A. Knopf and is Gibran's best known work. Gibran was born on January 6, 1883 in Bsharri, Lebanon. He later immigrated with his mother and siblings to Boston in 1895. Gibran would return to Lebanon three years later to continue his education but returned once again to America after illness took the life of one of his beloved sisters. Gibran's works, written in both Arabic and English, are full of lyrical outpourings and express his deeply religious and mystical nature. Gibran died in New York City on April 10, 1931. In this beautifully read and soulfully interpreted version of the classic book, Dasa summons up a thoroughly convincing, inspirational, spiritual experience for the open hearted listener. An absolute must have audio experience for all those interested in the reality of the spirit, developing a higher consciousness, the study of eastern philosophy, and even simply the curious commuter. A gift given from heart to heart - the great words of the Prophet will live forever.

Title: Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

Narrator: Kyla Hicks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2019-01-15

Publisher: Authors Republic

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often called 'split personality', referred to in psychiatry as dissociative identity disorder, where within the same body there exists more than one distinct personality. In this case, there are two personalities within Dr. Jekyll, one apparently good and the other evil. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase 'Jekyll and Hyde' coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.

Isabel Lawson is standing on the balcony of her suite at the Hotel de Crillon as she gazes at the twinkling lights of the Champs-Élysées and wonders if she's made a terrible mistake. She was supposed to be visiting the Christmas tree in the Place de la Concorde, and eating escargots and macaroons with her new husband on their honeymoon. But a week before the wedding, she called it off. Isabel is an ambitious Philadelphia finance woman, and Neil suddenly decided to take over his grandparents' farm. Isabel wasn't ready to trade her briefcase for a pair of rubber boots and a saddle.

When Neil suggested she use their honeymoon tickets for herself, she thought it would give her a chance to clear her head. That is until she locks herself out on the balcony in the middle of winter. Thankfully her neighbor Alec, a French children's illustrator, comes to her rescue. He too is nursing a broken heart at the Crillon for the holidays. With a new friend by her side, Isabel is determined to use her time in the 'city of lights' wisely. After a chance encounter with a fortune teller, and a close call with a taxi, she starts to question everything she thought was important.

From the author of the critically acclaimed debut People Who Knew Me comes the story of one man's determination to abandon his will to live.

Jonathan Krause is a man with a plan. He is going to quit his advertising job and, when his money runs out, he is going to die. He just has one final mission: A trip to Japan. It's a trip he was supposed to take with his girlfriend, Sara. It's a trip inspired by his regrets. And it's a trip to pay homage to the Japanese, the inventors of his chosen suicide technique.

In preparation for his final voyage, Jonathan enrolls in a Japanese language class where he meets Riko, who has her own plans to visit her homeland, for very different reasons. Their unexpected and unusual friendship takes them to Japan together, where they each struggle to make peace with their past and accept that happiness, loneliness, and grief come and go-just like the cherry blossoms.

Haunted by lost love, Jonathan must decide if he can embrace the transient nature of life, or if he must choose the certainty of death.
