The Iliad by Homer audiobook. Genre: folkloreIn The Iliad, Homer plunges listeners into the brutal final stretch of the Trojan War, where glory is measured in blood and a single wounded pride can topple armies. When the greatest Greek warrior, Achilles, withdraws from battle after a bitter clash with the commander Agamemnon, the Greek camp begins to unravel. Across the plain, the defenders of Troy rally under the noble prince Hector, while gods and goddesses take sides, meddling in mortal choices and amplifying every feud, vow, and prophecy. As comrades fall and truces shatter, the poem follows warriors, kings, and families caught between duty and desire, honor and survival. With its sweeping catalog of heroes, vivid battlefield set pieces, and intimate moments of grief, The Iliad is not only a war epic but a meditation on rage, fate, and what it costs to seek lasting fame. The conflict tightens around Achilles' inner struggle and the mounting consequences of his absence, driving both Greeks and Trojans toward a confrontation neither side can escape.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:32:46) Chapter 02(01:17:02) Chapter 03(01:41:12) Chapter 04(02:09:52) Chapter 05(02:56:23) Chapter 06(03:23:04) Chapter 07(03:47:18) Chapter 08(04:21:12) Chapter 09(05:00:11) Chapter 10(05:31:49) Chapter 11(06:24:38) Chapter 12(06:48:41) Chapter 13(07:30:06) Chapter 14(08:04:48) Chapter 15(08:53:44) Chapter 16(09:43:01) Chapter 17(10:18:44) Chapter 18(10:53:23) Chapter 19(11:19:38) Chapter 20(11:49:56) Chapter 21(12:26:40) Chapter 22(12:57:20) Chapter 23(13:46:48) Chapter 24 Learn more about your ad choices.

Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens audiobook. Genre: historyA wayside tavern where the local men drink and gossip; an unsolved, twenty year old murder at a nearby mansion; a very talkative black raven; a London locksmith and his family; a man apparently returned from the dead; a hangman who enjoys his job way too much; an anti-Catholic lord; a large and violent mob; and the British Militia—what do all these things have in common? All have, in some way, touched or been touched by the lovable, young, simple-minded “idiot,” Barnaby Rudge.Barnaby’s good nature makes him a joy to most who know him. Unfortunately, his eagerness to please and his gullibility make him an easy prey for the unscrupulous. Can he emerge unscathed when once he gets tangled up with the wrong crowd?Once again, Dickens has managed to temper the horrific with his characteristic wit and humor, as he tells this tale based on the 'no-popery' or Gordon riots of 1780.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:08:56) Chapter 01(00:50:25) Chapter 02(01:11:41) Chapter 03(01:31:02) Chapter 04(01:58:21) Chapter 05(02:10:50) Chapter 06(02:38:42) Chapter 07(02:54:11) Chapter 08(03:20:59) Chapter 09(03:36:11) Chapter 10(04:06:20) Chapter 11(04:20:40) Chapter 12(04:43:28) Chapter 13(05:11:44) Chapter 14(05:24:23) Chapter 15(05:51:16) Chapter 16(06:06:18) Chapter 17(06:33:31) Chapter 18(06:46:06) Chapter 19(07:12:42) Chapter 20(07:27:30) Chapter 21(07:49:17) Chapter 22(08:05:08) Chapter 23(08:31:39) Chapter 24(08:45:50) Chapter 25(09:11:04) Chapter 26(09:25:38) Chapter 27(09:56:09) Chapter 28(10:10:05) Chapter 29(10:43:24) Chapter 30(10:54:06) Chapter 31(11:21:07) Chapter 32(11:36:00) Chapter 33(12:01:45) Chapter 34(12:16:35) Chapter 35(12:45:25) Chapter 36(12:58:52) Chapter 37(13:27:53) Chapter 38(13:41:05) Chapter 39(14:05:41) Chapter 40(14:23:38) Chapter 41(14:52:59) Chapter 42(15:05:34) Chapter 43(15:34:01) Chapter 44(15:47:41) Chapter 45(16:14:15) Chapter 46(16:29:09) Chapter 47(16:48:51) Chapter 48(17:09:32) Chapter 49(17:34:47) Chapter 50(17:50:56) Chapter 51(18:17:22) Chapter 52(18:33:47) Chapter 53(18:56:19) Chapter 54(19:16:00) Chapter 55(19:37:01) Chapter 56(19:57:03) Chapter 57(20:18:40) Chapter 58(20:35:21) Chapter 59(21:04:01) Chapter 60(21:15:00) Chapter 61(21:32:13) Chapter 62(21:55:55) Chapter 63(22:18:15) Chapter 64(22:39:01) Chapter 65(23:04:46) Chapter 66(23:20:31) Chapter 67(23:46:49) Chapter 68(23:59:48) Chapter 69(24:25:19) Chapter 70(24:42:14) Chapter 71(25:09:14) Chapter 72(25:23:59) Chapter 73(25:50:39) Chapter 74(26:07:11) Chapter 75(26:38:26) Chapter 76(26:53:03) Chapter 77(27:22:05) Chapter 78(27:37:19) Chapter 79(27:59:36) Chapter 80(28:19:09) Chapter 81(28:42:29) Chapter 82 Learn more about your ad choices.

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens audiobook. Genre: historySet against the unrest of late-18th-century Europe, A Tale of Two Cities follows the intertwined fates of people caught between London and Paris as the French Revolution surges toward violence. When the compassionate French doctor Alexandre Manette is released after years of unjust imprisonment, his devoted daughter Lucie tries to rebuild his shattered life, drawing a circle of friends whose loyalties will be tested by history. In England, the disgraced yet honorable lawyer Mr. Stryver and his brilliant, hard-drinking assistant Sydney Carton move in the same social orbit as Charles Darnay, a principled French aristocrat who has rejected his family's cruelty. But Darnay's past, and the tightening net of revolutionary vengeance across the Channel, threaten to drag everyone into peril. As old wrongs demand repayment and new ideals ignite crowds, the novel explores sacrifice, resurrection, and the personal cost of political upheaval. With suspenseful reversals, vivid city streets, and unforgettable characters, Dickens builds a story where love and conscience collide with the machinery of revolution.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:06:51) Chapter 2(00:21:44) Chapter 3(00:33:53) Chapter 4(01:03:54) Chapter 5(01:30:21) Chapter 6(01:54:06) Chapter 7(02:08:28) Chapter 8(02:26:26) Chapter 9(03:02:45) Chapter 10(03:20:19) Chapter 11(03:34:52) Chapter 12(04:01:16) Chapter 13(04:23:59) Chapter 14(04:37:39) Chapter 15(05:05:27) Chapter 16(05:26:38) Chapter 17(05:34:33) Chapter 18(05:49:21) Chapter 19(06:07:42) Chapter 20(06:32:42) Chapter 21(06:59:02) Chapter 22(07:29:36) Chapter 23(07:41:31) Chapter 24(07:58:31) Chapter 25(08:19:43) Chapter 26(08:27:10) Chapter 27(08:53:33) Chapter 28(09:06:37) Chapter 29(09:26:31) Chapter 30(09:56:35) Chapter 31(10:23:10) Chapter 32(10:37:56) Chapter 33(10:50:42) Chapter 34(11:05:47) Chapter 35(11:22:33) Chapter 36(11:40:05) Chapter 37(11:51:52) Chapter 38(12:22:23) Chapter 39(12:50:12) Chapter 40(13:26:06) Chapter 41(13:35:23) Chapter 42(13:54:56) Chapter 43(14:18:52) Chapter 44(14:47:13) Chapter 45 Learn more about your ad choices.

Anthem by Ayn Rand audiobook. Genre: philosophyAnthem is a dystopic science fiction story taking place at some unspecified future date. Mankind has entered another dark age as a result of what Rand saw as the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur, if at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the word 'I' has disappeared from the language). As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the 'socialist/communal' values of equality and brotherhood and the 'productive/capitalist' values of achievement and individuality. The story also parallels Stalinist Russia, which was currently going on at the time as the story was published.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:32:16) Chapter 02(00:52:16) Chapter 03(00:57:06) Chapter 04(01:00:58) Chapter 05(01:06:12) Chapter 06(01:13:20) Chapter 07(01:27:04) Chapter 08(01:32:26) Chapter 09(01:42:26) Chapter 10(01:51:18) Chapter 11(01:59:11) Chapter 12 Learn more about your ad choices.

Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas audiobook. Genre: adventureSet two decades after The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas' Twenty Years After reunites the legendary companions in a France shaken by civil unrest and court intrigue. D'Artagnan, still ambitious and sharp-edged, serves Cardinal Mazarin and dreams of long-delayed advancement. But when he seeks out his old friends, he finds that time has changed them and politics has split them: Athos remains guided by conscience and quiet nobility, Porthos longs for glory and comfort, and Aramis moves through a dangerous web of secrets. As the Fronde erupts and Paris turns against royal authority, the once-unbreakable band is pulled into rival causes, forced to decide where loyalty truly belongs - to crown, to country, or to each other. Their mission soon expands beyond France, drawing them into the high stakes of England's turmoil and a desperate struggle that tests their courage, their ideals, and the cost of friendship. With swordplay, disguises, narrow escapes, and moral dilemmas, Dumas delivers a sweeping tale of aging heroes confronting a world that no longer matches the promises of their youth.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:23:53) Chapter 02(00:43:34) Chapter 03(01:12:42) Chapter 04(01:31:34) Chapter 05(01:41:35) Chapter 06(02:08:30) Chapter 07(02:21:37) Chapter 08(02:35:39) Chapter 09(03:13:50) Chapter 10(03:26:02) Chapter 11(03:43:27) Chapter 12(03:53:39) Chapter 13(04:08:46) Chapter 14(04:23:35) Chapter 15(04:43:43) Chapter 16(04:54:47) Chapter 17(05:10:52) Chapter 18(05:30:18) Chapter 19(05:47:44) Chapter 20(06:14:52) Chapter 21(06:40:41) Chapter 22(06:56:42) Chapter 23(07:16:15) Chapter 24(07:31:07) Chapter 25(07:42:40) Chapter 26(07:59:08) Chapter 27(08:16:59) Chapter 28(08:28:57) Chapter 29(08:48:29) Chapter 30(09:03:38) Chapter 31(09:26:29) Chapter 32(09:39:05) Chapter 33(09:50:50) Chapter 34(10:14:07) Chapter 35(10:28:51) Chapter 36(10:38:55) Chapter 37(10:53:10) Chapter 38(11:05:28) Chapter 39(11:19:30) Chapter 40(11:27:24) Chapter 41(11:44:55) Chapter 42(12:05:24) Chapter 43(12:21:10) Chapter 44(12:51:36) Chapter 45(13:15:26) Chapter 46(13:27:30) Chapter 47(13:45:13) Chapter 48(14:09:14) Chapter 49(14:22:47) Chapter 50(14:36:15) Chapter 51(14:58:30) Chapter 52(15:26:55) Chapter 53(15:46:57) Chapter 54(16:09:31) Chapter 55(16:27:32) Chapter 56(16:44:49) Chapter 57(16:55:42) Chapter 58(17:23:46) Chapter 59(17:43:02) Chapter 60(18:00:49) Chapter 61(18:37:13) Chapter 62(18:49:57) Chapter 63(19:09:40) Chapter 64(19:29:22) Chapter 65(19:43:53) Chapter 66(19:56:14) Chapter 67(20:14:01) Chapter 68(20:24:03) Chapter 69(20:36:29) Chapter 70(20:53:38) Chapter 71(21:08:36) Chapter 72(21:17:10) Chapter 73(21:31:09) Chapter 74(21:44:42) Chapter 75(21:56:55) Chapter 76(22:11:47) Chapter 77(22:31:17) Chapter 78(22:46:10) Chapter 79(23:00:37) Chapter 80(23:11:09) Chapter 81(23:22:25) Chapter 82(23:34:50) Chapter 83(23:52:30) Chapter 84(24:09:40) Chapter 85(24:17:59) Chapter 86(24:29:34) Chapter 87(24:47:03) Chapter 88(25:17:40) Chapter 89(25:41:37) Chapter 90 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas audiobook. Genre: adventureThe Three Musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to become a musketeer. D'Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis -- inseparable friends who live by the motto, 'One for all, and all for one'.The Three Musketeers was first published in serial form in the magazine Le Siècle between March and July 1844. Dumas claimed it was based on manuscripts he had discovered in the Bibliothèque Nationale. It was later proven that Dumas had based his work on the book Mémoires de Monsieur D'Artagnan, capitaine lieutenant de la première compagnie des Mousquetaires du Roi (Memoirs of Mister D'Artagnan, Lieutenant Captain of the first company of the King's Musketeers) by Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (Cologne, 1700).Dumas' version of the story covers the adventures of D'Artagnan and his friends from 1625 to 1628, as they are involved in intrigues involving the weak King Louis XIII of France, his powerful and cunning advisor Cardinal Richelieu, the beautiful Queen Anne of Austria, her English lover, George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, and the Siege of La Rochelle. Adding to the intrigue are the mysterious Milady de Winter, and Richelieu's right-hand man, the Comte de Rochefort.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:05:39) Chapter 01(00:44:24) Chapter 02(01:12:06) Chapter 03(01:42:01) Chapter 04(02:01:36) Chapter 05(02:26:46) Chapter 06(03:14:40) Chapter 07(03:37:10) Chapter 08(03:57:02) Chapter 09(04:15:35) Chapter 10(04:37:53) Chapter 11(05:19:15) Chapter 12(05:40:35) Chapter 13(06:01:56) Chapter 14(06:25:23) Chapter 15(06:45:07) Chapter 16(07:14:10) Chapter 17(07:46:00) Chapter 18(08:01:31) Chapter 19(08:20:47) Chapter 20(08:46:29) Chapter 21(09:09:22) Chapter 22(09:26:36) Chapter 23(09:52:05) Chapter 24(10:16:52) Chapter 25(11:01:25) Chapter 26(11:41:51) Chapter 27(12:29:21) Chapter 28(13:01:33) Chapter 29(13:22:41) Chapter 30(13:40:25) Chapter 31(13:58:13) Chapter 32(14:21:26) Chapter 33(14:43:26) Chapter 34(15:03:44) Chapter 35(15:21:12) Chapter 36(15:38:15) Chapter 37(15:54:33) Chapter 38(16:15:37) Chapter 39(16:36:42) Chapter 40(16:55:40) Chapter 41(17:25:43) Chapter 42(17:43:26) Chapter 43(18:02:16) Chapter 44(18:21:36) Chapter 45(18:35:51) Chapter 46(18:51:40) Chapter 47(19:29:27) Chapter 48(20:03:24) Chapter 49(20:22:47) Chapter 50(20:41:27) Chapter 51(21:07:57) Chapter 52(21:25:23) Chapter 53(21:43:26) Chapter 54(22:05:17) Chapter 55(22:26:53) Chapter 56(23:04:08) Chapter 57(23:20:47) Chapter 58(23:39:17) Chapter 59(24:03:46) Chapter 60(24:16:35) Chapter 61(24:47:33) Chapter 62(24:58:40) Chapter 63(25:31:07) Chapter 64(25:44:41) Chapter 65(26:03:46) Chapter 66(26:15:00) Chapter 67(26:36:06) Chapter 68 Learn more about your ad choices.

Nuggets of the New Thought by William Walker Atkinson audiobook. Genre: self helpNuggets of the New Thought is a compact, practical introduction to the New Thought movement by William Walker Atkinson, a prolific early 20th century writer on mind-power and mental training. In a series of short, focused sections, Atkinson distills what he sees as the core principles behind constructive thinking: the creative role of attention, the habit-forming power of repeated ideas, and the way inner belief shapes outer experience. Rather than presenting a single storyline, the book unfolds like a pocket handbook, offering vivid examples, memorable maxims, and step-by-step encouragement for anyone who wants to replace fear, doubt, and discouragement with confidence, purpose, and calm self-mastery. As the reader follows these 'nuggets,' a central challenge emerges: learning to take responsibility for one's mental climate while still meeting the real pressures of work, relationships, health worries, and setbacks. Atkinson writes in an accessible, direct voice, inviting listeners to experiment, observe results, and build a daily practice of disciplined thought aimed at clearer goals and a more resilient, hopeful outlook.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:03:22) Chapter 01(00:15:22) Chapter 02(00:34:27) Chapter 03(00:44:15) Chapter 04(00:59:23) Chapter 05(01:07:33) Chapter 06(01:16:52) Chapter 07(01:37:01) Chapter 08(01:46:07) Chapter 09(01:57:04) Chapter 10(02:04:24) Chapter 11(02:24:00) Chapter 12(02:32:15) Chapter 13(02:41:27) Chapter 14(02:56:03) Chapter 15(03:08:46) Chapter 16(03:16:22) Chapter 17(03:27:45) Chapter 18(03:35:39) Chapter 19(03:50:32) Chapter 20(04:03:40) Chapter 21(04:11:15) Chapter 22(04:25:39) Chapter 23(04:39:59) Chapter 24(04:54:24) Chapter 25(05:02:17) Chapter 26(05:09:00) Chapter 27 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving audiobook. Genre: folkloreIn a quiet Dutch settlement tucked along the Hudson River, the drowsy valley of Sleepy Hollow seems sealed off from the hurry of the outside world - and steeped in old tales that refuse to die. Into this fog of superstition rides Ichabod Crane, a lanky, bookish schoolmaster with a taste for ghost stories, fine meals, and the hope of improving his fortunes. As Ichabod courts the charming and wealthy Katrina Van Tassel, he finds himself entangled in a small-town rivalry with the broad-shouldered, popular Brom Bones, who knows every path, prank, and legend the Hollow can offer. The most fearsome of those legends is the Headless Horseman, a spectral rider said to haunt the night roads near the old burial ground. Drawn by desire, vanity, and his own vivid imagination, Ichabod begins to see omens everywhere, until an evening journey home becomes a test of nerve and belief. Both playful and chilling, Washington Irving's classic tale blends satire, romance, and campfire dread, exploring how stories shape a community - and how fear can turn shadows into something far more real.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1 Learn more about your ad choices.
