Free Download The Great Gatsby (Audiobook)
English | June 02, 2021 | ASIN: B0957Z169J | M4B@125 kbps | 4h 37m | 252.53 MB
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Narrator: Frank Muller
No one - fictional or factual - embodies the Jazz Age as completely as F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby. First published in 1925, this legendary novel continues to enthrall generations as it serves as a lens to view our not-so-distant past. Many of our notions about that period are taken from this book. Bathtub gin, flappers, and house parties that last all week enliven Fitzgerald's classic tale. Stylish and engaging, The Great Gatsby is also a startling literate portrait of Gatsby's search for meaning in his opulent world.

Free Download The Devil Boats: A U.S. Navy PT Squadron in Action in World War II (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BW4YJFVC | 2023 | 9 hours and 5 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 259 MB
Author: C.J. Skamarakas
Narrator: Steve Menasche
PT boats loom large in the popular imagination of World War II. In March 1942, a PT boat evacuated Gen. Douglas MacArthur, his family, and top staff from the Philippines, which inspired the war movie They Were Expendable, directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. John F. Kennedy became a war hero while commanding PT-109, which collided with a Japanese destroyer and was sunk in August 1943. But the story of PT boats has never been told in the depth and detail that their exemplary service deserves. Naval historian C. J. Skamarakas uses one Pacific PT boat squadron to tell the story of PT boats in action in World War II.

English | ASIN: B0B3NKM6Q3 | 2023 | 4 hours and 48 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 268 MB
Author: Luiz Schwarcz
Narrator: Theodore Copeland
A literary sensation in Brazil, Luiz Schwarcz's brave and tender memoir interrogates his ordeal of bipolar disorder in the context of a family story of murder, dispossession, and silence-the long echo of the Holocaust across generations. When Luiz Schwarcz was a child, he was told little about his grandfather and namesake, Láios-"Luiz" in Hungarian. Only later in life did he learn that his grandfather, a devout Hungarian Jew, had defied his country's Nazi occupiers by holding secret religious services in his home. After being put on a train to a German death camp with his son André, Láios ordered André to leap from the train to freedom at a rail crossing, while Láios himself was carried on to his death. What Luiz did know was that his father André, who had emigrated to Brazil, was an unhappy and silent man.

Free Download Support the Troops: Military Obligation, Gender, and the Making of Political Community (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BV3FLK1C | 2023 | 12 hours and 20 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 352 MB
Author: Katharine M. Millar
Narrator: Kathryn Markey
In the past, it was assumed that men, as good citizens, would serve in the armed forces in wartime. In the present, however, liberal democratic states increasingly rely on small all-volunteer militaries deployed in distant wars of choice. While few people now serve in the armed forces, our cultural myths and narratives of warfare continue to reproduce a strong connection between military service, citizenship, and normative masculinity. In Support the Troops, Katharine M. Millar provides an empirical overview of "support the troops" discourses in the US and UK during the early years of the global war on terror (2001-2010). As Millar argues, seemingly stable understandings of the relationship between military service, citizenship, and gender norms are being unsettled by changes in warfare.

Free Download One Medicine: How Understanding Animals Can Save Our Lives (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9781398512931 | 2023 | 7 hours and 30 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 216 MB
Author: Dr Matt Morgan
Narrator: Dr Matt Morgan
It all started with a Hob Nob. As Dr Matt Morgan, an intensive care consultant, examined a patient who had suffered a cardiac arrest after inhaling some biscuit crumbs, he saw a flock of birds fly past the window. They must inhale objects all the time when flying, how do they survive? he thought to himself. This began an investigation that spanned continents, species and millennia. For animal science has so much to teach us about human medicine. While some of the overlaps and parallels are obvious-we know how much DNA we share with primates, the first pig heart has been transplanted into a human-there is so much more that we have learnt from the animal world.

Free Download Men of 18 in 1918: Memories of the Western Front in World War One (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVXJQZ16 | 2023 | 9 hours and 29 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 265 MB
Author: Frederick James Hodges
Narrator: John Lee
An astounding account of one young infantryman's personal experience of the Western Front in the last year of World War One. In the spring of 1918, German forces broke through Allied lines in a last-ditch attempt to overcome their enemies. To hold back this tide, inexperienced young men from France, Britain, the United States, Australia, and Canada were sent into war against battle-hardened and desperate German soldiers. What was it like to be an eighteen-year-old and sent to the frontlines in the First World War? Frederick James Hodges was one of these young men and his book, Men of 18 in 1918, provides insight into the ordeals of an ordinary soldier who left Britain as a teenager but returned as a man having witnessed the full horrors of war. Hodges charts his progress through the conflict from his short period of training to being thrown into defending Allied lines against the onslaught before being ordered, as part of Britain's prime assault troops, into a ninety-five-day non-stop attack which only ended with the armistice of November 1918.
