The Money Moon by John Jeffery Farnol audiobook. Genre: romanceWhen American millionaire George Bellew is left reeling by the news that his beloved Sylvia Marchmont will marry the Duke of Ryde, he does the only thing that makes sense to a man with too much money and no clear purpose: he walks out of London and into the Kentish countryside. With his dryly competent valet Baxter at his heels, Bellew drifts from heartbreak into a world of hedgerows, hop fields, and village characters who measure a man by his conduct rather than his fortune. A chance meeting with an earnest runaway boy, Georgy Porgy (Small Porges), draws Bellew into the boy's impossible quest to find wealth enough to save his proud Aunt Anthea and her threatened home. To keep hope alive, Bellew spins a half-mocking, half-enchanted legend of the Money Moon - a night when the moon turns the color of a golden sovereign, and fortunes might be found by those bold enough to seek them. As the search deepens, Bellew must confront what money can buy, what it cannot, and whether an invented fairy tale can lead to something real.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:01:56) Chapter 02(00:09:18) Chapter 03(00:20:28) Chapter 04(00:28:55) Chapter 05(00:42:55) Chapter 06(00:49:52) Chapter 07(01:06:41) Chapter 08(01:20:44) Chapter 09(01:34:25) Chapter 10(01:45:15) Chapter 11(02:04:10) Chapter 12(02:31:10) Chapter 13(02:41:16) Chapter 14(03:08:04) Chapter 15(03:16:13) Chapter 16(03:22:17) Chapter 17(03:34:51) Chapter 18(03:42:30) Chapter 19(03:57:34) Chapter 20(04:02:27) Chapter 21(04:15:38) Chapter 22(04:21:37) Chapter 23(04:26:08) Chapter 24(04:37:21) Chapter 25(04:42:56) Chapter 26(04:54:49) Chapter 27(05:02:32) Chapter 28(05:08:25) Chapter 29(05:14:38) Chapter 30(05:24:58) Chapter 31 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Wheat Princess by Jean Webster audiobook. Genre: romanceMarcia Copley arrives in Rome expecting an effortless season of parties, art, and sunshine with her well-placed American relatives at a villa near the hill town of Palestrina. Instead, she finds herself marked by a nickname she cannot quite escape: the 'Wheat Princess,' heiress to the fortune her father made through grain speculation. In the expatriate circles of diplomats and idle travelers, Marcia is admired, judged, and quietly maneuvered as if she were part of the scenery. Two very reminding men pull her in different directions: Paul Dessart, a charming would-be painter who treats life as a lark, and Laurence Sybert, a sharp, guarded embassy official whose moral seriousness clashes with Marcia's bright confidence. When unrest in the countryside and uneasy conversations begin to point back to the consequences of her family's wealth, Marcia is forced to look beyond salon gossip and romantic intrigue to the real cost of privilege. Set against ancient roads, ruined temples, and a modern Italy strained by hunger and politics, Jean Webster's novel blends sparkling dialogue with a coming-of-age reckoning about love, responsibility, and what it means to do good when doing good is complicated.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:10:02) Chapter 01(00:33:55) Chapter 02(00:52:22) Chapter 03(01:13:30) Chapter 04(01:20:04) Chapter 05(01:35:17) Chapter 06(02:03:32) Chapter 07(02:18:44) Chapter 08(02:51:17) Chapter 09(03:03:37) Chapter 10(03:30:24) Chapter 11(04:04:20) Chapter 12(04:35:55) Chapter 13(04:56:36) Chapter 14(05:23:08) Chapter 15(05:49:31) Chapter 16(06:15:37) Chapter 17(06:38:15) Chapter 18(06:53:43) Chapter 19(07:06:10) Chapter 20(07:20:32) Chapter 21(07:31:10) Chapter 22(07:41:28) Chapter 23(08:11:46) Chapter 24(08:44:27) Chapter 25(09:02:34) Chapter 26 Learn more about your ad choices.

I shall make known the character of Marie Antoinette, her domestic habits, the way in which she spent her time, her maternal affection, her constancy in friendship, her dignity in misfortune. I shall, in some degree, throw open her private apartments, where I have passed so many hours with her, both in the happiest and the most sorrowful years of her life.'(Mme Campan)For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:05:05) Chapter 02(00:45:49) Chapter 03(01:27:54) Chapter 04(02:07:14) Chapter 05(02:25:52) Chapter 06(03:00:40) Chapter 07(03:43:52) Chapter 08(04:13:49) Chapter 09(04:38:44) Chapter 10(05:09:33) Chapter 11(05:50:30) Chapter 12(06:32:31) Chapter 13(07:07:14) Chapter 14(07:31:39) Chapter 15(08:04:47) Chapter 16(08:27:55) Chapter 17(08:55:02) Chapter 18(09:17:31) Chapter 19(09:41:03) Chapter 20(10:08:54) Chapter 21(10:34:57) Chapter 22(11:04:37) Chapter 23(11:31:26) Chapter 24(11:55:07) Chapter 25(12:31:47) Chapter 26(12:57:24) Chapter 27(13:21:10) Chapter 28(13:38:37) Chapter 29(14:02:13) Chapter 30(14:27:27) Chapter 31 Learn more about your ad choices.

High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France by James Norman Hall audiobook. Genre: historyIn High Adventure: A Narrative of Air Fighting in France, James Norman Hall recounts, with diary-like immediacy, how an American volunteer is swept from the streets of wartime Paris into the raw, improvised world of early military aviation. Intent at first on joining the Foreign Legion, Hall instead finds himself drawn toward the French flying service and the famed Escadrille Americaine (later known as the Lafayette Escadrille), a small brotherhood of Americans learning to fight in the sky before the United States officially enters World War I. The story follows the awkward beginnings: unfamiliar language, unforgiving instructors, flimsy machines, and training that can be as lethal as combat, where a pilot's first real lesson may come alone in the air. From there, Hall brings listeners onto muddy aerodromes and into tense patrols over the front, capturing the mix of boredom, sudden terror, and breathless exhilaration that defines aerial war. Alongside the dogfights and near-misses runs a quieter portrait of friendship, nerves, and the steady reshaping of youthful adventure into hard-earned endurance.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:28:06) Chapter 02(00:55:00) Chapter 03(01:33:48) Chapter 04(02:08:12) Chapter 05(02:53:31) Chapter 06(03:20:46) Chapter 07(03:41:44) Chapter 08(04:02:36) Chapter 09(04:12:39) Chapter 10(04:21:13) Chapter 11(04:32:28) Chapter 12(04:41:22) Chapter 13 Learn more about your ad choices.

Andreas Vesalius The Reformer Of Anatomy by James Moores Ball audiobook. Genre: biographyIn Andreas Vesalius The Reformer Of Anatomy, James Moores Ball chronicles the life and work of the bold Renaissance physician who challenged centuries of medical authority and helped remake the study of the human body. Set against the ferment of sixteenth-century Europe, the book follows Vesalius from his early training and restless curiosity through his rise as a teacher and investigator who insisted on seeing for himself what earlier writers only repeated. Ball brings readers into lecture halls and dissection rooms where tradition, professional rivalry, and religious and social pressures collide with a new, hands-on approach to knowledge. As Vesalius gathers evidence from direct observation, he faces the risks of contradicting revered texts, the demands of patrons and institutions, and the personal cost of pursuing truth in public. Along the way, Ball highlights the craft of anatomy as both art and science, the painstaking labor behind accurate illustration and description, and the broader shift toward empiricism that would shape modern medicine. This biography offers a focused portrait of ambition, controversy, and discovery at a turning point in scientific history.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:07:06) Chapter 01(00:35:56) Chapter 02(00:56:14) Chapter 03(01:07:52) Chapter 04(01:22:58) Chapter 05(01:29:38) Chapter 06(01:50:58) Chapter 07(01:56:40) Chapter 08(02:09:56) Chapter 09(02:14:19) Chapter 10(02:28:26) Chapter 11(02:31:57) Chapter 12(02:49:12) Chapter 13(03:05:08) Chapter 14(03:12:09) Chapter 15(03:16:59) Chapter 16 Learn more about your ad choices.
