Anne of Geierstein, Volume 1 by Sir Walter Scott audiobook. Genre: historyIn Anne of Geierstein, Volume 1, Sir Walter Scott transports listeners to late-15th-century Europe, where the clash between the rising Swiss Confederacy and the power of Burgundy turns travel into peril and diplomacy into a game of survival. A young English traveler, Arthur Philipson, and his older companion and guide, Dr. Hendrik, set out across the Alps on a journey that is part pilgrimage, part secret errand, and wholly dangerous in a continent fractured by war, shifting loyalties, and suspicious borders. Their path leads them to the rugged stronghold of Geierstein and to Anne, the Baron's remarkable daughter, whose courage and enigmatic reputation draw Arthur into a world where local custom, fierce independence, and whispered legends carry real political weight. As Arthur and his mentor seek safe passage and trustworthy allies, they must navigate hostile soldiers, wary towns, and the long reach of Burgundian ambition, all while guarding their own purpose from prying eyes. Volume 1 lays the groundwork for a sweeping historical romance and adventure about identity, honor, and the price of freedom.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:38:55) Chapter 02(01:24:13) Chapter 03(02:20:00) Chapter 04(02:41:08) Chapter 05(03:20:45) Chapter 06(03:47:24) Chapter 07(04:22:22) Chapter 08(04:38:04) Chapter 09(05:14:58) Chapter 10(05:54:46) Chapter 11(06:36:15) Chapter 12(07:19:14) Chapter 13(07:50:39) Chapter 14(08:31:19) Chapter 15(09:13:42) Chapter 16(10:02:29) Chapter 17(11:06:27) Chapter 18(11:53:46) Chapter 19 Learn more about your ad choices.

Gertrude's Diary, and The Cube by Pansy audiobook. Genre: religionGertrude's Diary, and The Cube gathers two spirited tales for young listeners from beloved Christian author Pansy (Isabella Macdonald Alden). In Gertrude's Diary, sensible, outspoken Gertrude Morrison agrees to a challenge set by her pastor, Mr. Neale: she and her closest friends, Ruth, Namie, and Prissy, will keep daily journals and measure their choices against a new Bible 'golden text' each month. What begins as a curious assignment quickly turns searching and personal, as Gertrude's honest entries expose careless words, small selfish habits, and the quiet struggles of trying to be a doer of the Word at home, at school, and with friends. In The Cube, a lively circle of twenty-seven cousins and companions forms a society for 'entertainment and improvement,' staging short scenes and tableaux that the rest must identify from history. Planning costumes, keeping secrets, and working together under pressure, the young performers discover that learning can be both playful and humbling, and that character matters as much as cleverness. Together, these stories offer warmth, humor, and gentle conviction about faith lived in everyday life.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:12:08) Chapter 02(00:20:25) Chapter 03(00:26:02) Chapter 04(00:35:52) Chapter 05(00:45:01) Chapter 06(00:53:41) Chapter 07(01:04:42) Chapter 08(01:14:35) Chapter 09(01:20:50) Chapter 10(01:28:41) Chapter 11(01:37:26) Chapter 12(01:45:20) Chapter 13(01:53:21) Chapter 14(01:59:44) Chapter 15 Learn more about your ad choices.

His Wisdom, the Defender - A Story by Simon Newcomb audiobook. Genre: scifiSet in a near-future America imagined from the turn of the 20th century, His Wisdom, the Defender is presented as a later historical account of how the world was pushed toward an uneasy peace. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, the brilliant and intensely private Professor Campbell makes a breakthrough that promises effectively limitless power, then withdraws from academia and becomes the wealthiest man alive almost overnight. But money is only a tool for his real ambition: ending war itself. When Campbell unveils a second, even more astonishing discovery that makes controlled flight possible, he begins building fast aerial craft and, in absolute secrecy, a disciplined corps of young recruits trained to operate them. Their most startling equipment is a protective, human-shaped flying rig: part vehicle, part armor, and wholly unprecedented. As governments, militaries, and newspapers react with suspicion, awe, and fear, Campbell is forced to defend his inventions from theft and weaponization while deciding how far one man should go to impose peace on the world. Blending techno-wonder with political tension, Newcomb's novel explores the seduction of benevolent power, the fragility of international order, and the price of a utopia enforced from the skies.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:02:31) Chapter 02(00:21:32) Chapter 03(00:42:30) Chapter 04(00:56:51) Chapter 05(01:24:02) Chapter 06(01:33:44) Chapter 07(01:55:08) Chapter 08(02:07:08) Chapter 09(02:29:15) Chapter 10(02:59:10) Chapter 11(03:25:40) Chapter 12(03:52:40) Chapter 13(04:16:56) Chapter 14(04:35:13) Chapter 15(04:59:24) Chapter 16(05:18:01) Chapter 17(05:41:27) Chapter 18(06:02:58) Chapter 19(06:16:21) Chapter 20(06:28:03) Chapter 21(06:41:59) Chapter 22 Learn more about your ad choices.

On Lying by Saint Augustine of Hippo audiobook. Genre: philosophyIn On Lying, Saint Augustine of Hippo tackles a question as practical as it is unsettling: can a lie ever be justified? Writing as a pastor, teacher, and philosopher, Augustine examines the everyday ways people bend the truth and the serious spiritual and social consequences that follow. With a careful, step-by-step method, he defines what counts as a lie, explores the role of intention and speech, and tests common excuses: protecting someone from harm, avoiding shame, helping a friend, or defending the faith. Along the way, he presents vivid scenarios drawn from family life, civic affairs, and religious controversy, asking listeners to weigh mercy against integrity and short-term outcomes against the formation of character. More than a list of rules, this concise treatise is a disciplined inquiry into conscience, responsibility, and the meaning of truthful communication. Augustine challenges the listener to consider how truth shapes trust, how habits of deception distort the self, and what it means to live with a steady heart when the cost of honesty feels too high.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:53:13) Chapter 02 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Brownies and Prince Florimel by Palmer Cox audiobook. Genre: fantasyWhen King Florimel's father dies, the rightful heir discovers that a ruthless uncle is ready to take the throne and erase him from the story for good. There is one problem the court cannot ignore: Florimel is brave, clever, and noble, but he is also very small, and the grown rulers around him treat his size as a reason to deny his claim. Forced to flee, Florimel carries the strange legacy of a fairy godmother: hints of second sight and a gift meant to protect him when ordinary strength is not enough. His escape draws him beyond human roads into the hidden night-world of the Brownies, the mischievous, warmhearted sprites who work in secret and travel everywhere. Among them he finds unexpected allies, new rules of courage, and a foster-king whose lessons are as practical as they are magical. But the deeper Florimel is pulled into Brownieland, Fairyland, and darker realms, the more he must face enchantments, traps, and an ill-tempered power who would bend both humans and magical folk to his will. Told in Cox's lively, illustrated style, this is a fairy adventure about dignity, loyalty, and refusing to be measured by size alone.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:14:20) Chapter 02(00:25:28) Chapter 03(00:39:19) Chapter 04(00:52:40) Chapter 05(01:04:03) Chapter 06(01:16:59) Chapter 07(01:30:19) Chapter 08(01:42:12) Chapter 09(01:56:04) Chapter 10(02:10:37) Chapter 11(02:23:32) Chapter 12(02:37:36) Chapter 13(02:51:45) Chapter 14(03:03:36) Chapter 15(03:16:12) Chapter 16(03:29:13) Chapter 17(03:41:46) Chapter 18(03:54:44) Chapter 19(04:06:33) Chapter 20(04:17:07) Chapter 21 Learn more about your ad choices.

Island Nights Entertainments by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook. Genre: adventureIn Island Nights Entertainments, Robert Louis Stevenson gathers three vivid tales that blend the heat and color of the South Pacific with sharp moral tension and a taste for the uncanny. In The Beach of Falesa, a principled trader arrives on a remote island to build an honest life, only to find himself tangled in local rivalries, colonial exploitation, and a marriage arranged under troubling misunderstandings. In The Bottle Imp, a restless young man acquires a mysterious bottle said to grant wishes, but the gift carries a perilous condition that turns every desire into a gamble with the soul. In The Isle of Voices, an islander newly married into a strange family is drawn into a secret world of hidden wealth and whispered dangers, where greed and loyalty pull in opposite directions. Across these stories, Stevenson explores ambition, temptation, cultural collision, and the uneasy line between bravery and folly, all rendered with brisk storytelling, atmospheric settings, and characters forced to reckon with what they truly value when paradise proves anything but simple.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:30:20) Chapter 02(01:21:15) Chapter 03(01:54:42) Chapter 04(02:41:14) Chapter 05(03:15:15) Chapter 06(03:55:54) Chapter 07(04:49:58) Chapter 08 Learn more about your ad choices.

A Broken Bond by Nicholas Carter audiobook. Genre: mysteryIn A Broken Bond: Or, The Man Without Morals, a fortune made in a South American mining venture turns two longtime partners into enemies overnight. When Winthrop Crawford survives what looks like a carefully planned ambush in the mountains, the attack raises a terrifying question: who would risk everything to see him dead, and why now, just as the partners are poised to cash out? Rumors of jealousy and treachery swirl around Crawford's associate, James Stone, a man whose behavior suggests both ruthless calculation and a mind slipping its moorings. As danger follows Crawford across borders and new attempts close in, the case draws the attention of master detective Nick Carter and his trusted team, who begin pulling at a tangled thread of suspicious letters, money trails, and convenient alibis. The deeper Nick digs, the less this feels like a simple business dispute, and the more it resembles a deliberate campaign to ruin a man and erase the past. Fast, twisty, and charged with moral ambiguity, the story pits loyalty against greed and asks what can happen when conscience finally breaks.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:09:59) Chapter 02(00:20:50) Chapter 03(00:31:22) Chapter 04(00:41:46) Chapter 05(00:50:13) Chapter 06(00:57:56) Chapter 07(01:06:14) Chapter 08(01:15:26) Chapter 09(01:21:51) Chapter 10(01:27:11) Chapter 11(01:36:48) Chapter 12(01:41:12) Chapter 13(01:48:09) Chapter 14(01:56:07) Chapter 15(02:01:15) Chapter 16(02:07:25) Chapter 17(02:13:00) Chapter 18(02:21:57) Chapter 19(02:29:14) Chapter 20(02:37:19) Chapter 21(02:45:31) Chapter 22(02:51:44) Chapter 23(02:58:24) Chapter 24(03:05:14) Chapter 25(03:11:30) Chapter 26(03:16:33) Chapter 27(03:22:50) Chapter 28(03:30:22) Chapter 29(03:38:19) Chapter 30(03:47:15) Chapter 31(03:58:08) Chapter 32(04:04:24) Chapter 33(04:11:01) Chapter 34(04:18:56) Chapter 35(04:30:26) Chapter 36(04:36:41) Chapter 37(04:45:49) Chapter 38(04:55:09) Chapter 39(05:01:55) Chapter 40(05:11:18) Chapter 41(05:19:39) Chapter 42(05:27:59) Chapter 43(05:34:49) Chapter 44(05:43:59) Chapter 45(05:49:36) Chapter 46 Learn more about your ad choices.

Another Brownie Book by Palmer Cox audiobook. Genre: fantasyIn Another Brownie Book, illustrator and poet Palmer Cox invites listeners back into the moonlit world of the Brownies - tiny, quick-witted sprites who slip out while townsfolk sleep to turn ordinary places into stages for mischief, teamwork, and secret good deeds. Told in lively rhyming verse and originally paired with Cox's own drawings, these episodic tales follow the Brownies as they tackle one nighttime scheme after another: shaping winter snow into a village surprise, organizing bustling make-believe enterprises, and testing their ingenuity in barns, orchards, classrooms, and grand public spaces where a small band can cause a very large commotion. But their fun is never only for fun's sake - each adventure becomes a contest of creativity, coordination, and clever problem-solving, with the Brownies balancing prankish impulses against a curious kind of responsibility to the human world they cannot fully join. Playful, energetic, and packed with vivid set pieces, this classic collection blends humor and wonder while celebrating the joy of hard work, the thrill of secrecy, and the magic that might be happening just out of sight.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:05:49) Chapter 02(00:10:14) Chapter 03(00:15:10) Chapter 04(00:20:34) Chapter 05(00:24:56) Chapter 06(00:29:47) Chapter 07(00:33:36) Chapter 08(00:38:48) Chapter 09(00:41:24) Chapter 10(00:44:17) Chapter 11(00:50:21) Chapter 12(00:55:11) Chapter 13(01:06:15) Chapter 14(01:15:19) Chapter 15(01:22:01) Chapter 16(01:26:52) Chapter 17(01:32:42) Chapter 18(01:38:26) Chapter 19(01:43:02) Chapter 20(01:48:12) Chapter 21(01:53:12) Chapter 22(01:56:56) Chapter 23(02:04:05) Chapter 24 Learn more about your ad choices.
