Loves Labours Lost by William Shakespeare audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In the kingdom of Navarre, a young king and his three closest companions make a bold vow: for three years they will devote themselves to study, fasting, and strict abstinence, building a little academy of the mind sealed off from distraction. Their high-minded plan is tested almost immediately when the Princess of France arrives on a diplomatic mission, accompanied by three sharp-witted ladies who refuse to be dismissed or underestimated. What begins as a contest of ideals quickly becomes a sparkling battle of language, pride, and desire, as the men struggle to keep their promises while the women meet each attempt at courtship with intelligence, humor, and pointed skepticism. Mistaken identities, secret letters, overheard conversations, and playful performances turn the court into a lively arena where words can wound, woo, and deceive. Love's Labours Lost is a fast, lyrical comedy about ambition and vulnerability, the masks people wear to seem wise or in control, and the humbling realization that real life does not always obey elegant rules.
