Charles Freeman, Mark Bramhall (Narrator), "The Reopening of the Western Mind: The Resurgence of Intellectual Life from the End of Antiquity to the Dawn of the Enlightenment"
English | ASIN: B0979JZ6QD | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~27:37:00 | 782 MB
A monumental and exhilarating history of European thought from the end of Antiquity to the beginning of the Enlightenment-500 to 1700 AD-tracing the arc of intellectual history as it evolved, setting the stage for the modern era.
Charles Freeman, lauded historical scholar and author of The Closing of the Western Mind ("A triumph"-The Times), explores the rebirth of Western thought in the centuries that followed the demise of the classical era. As the dominance of Christian teachings gradually subsided over time, a new open-mindedness made way for the ideas of morality and theology, and fueled and formed the backbone of the Western mind of the late Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and beyond.

The Prussian Officer by David Herbert Lawrence

The Prussian Officer by David Herbert Lawrence
English | MP3@192 kbps | 57 min | 78.4 MB
'The Prussian Officer'. There is an anti-militarism theme, unpopular as the nation drew near to war and an examination of latent homosexuality as the officer in the story struggles with his feelings for his orderly. The young soldier is driven beyond breaking point but finds a kind of redemption in his final return to natural surroundings and, symbolically, he finds equality in death with his tormentor as they are put side by side in the mortuary.
