Daily reading from the book that offers simple yet profound insights into how to lead your life. Tune in for a short session every day! Parva Naturalia by Aristotle (384 BCE - 322 BCE) LibriVox Parva Naturalia [the "short treatises on nature" (a conventional Latin title first used by Giles of Rome)] is a collection of books by Aristotle, which discuss natural phenomena involving the body and the soul. The books are as follows: I - On Sensation and the SensibleII - On Memory and Recollection III - On Sleeping and Waking IV - On Dreams V - On Prophecy in Sleep VI - On Longevity and Shortness of LifeVII - On Youth and Old Age, Life and Death VIII - On Respiration ( Summary Adapted from Wikipedia ) Parva Naturalia Aristotle I - On Sensation and the SensibleII - On Memory and Recollection III - On Sleeping and Waking IV - On Dreams V - On Prophecy in Sleep VI - On Longevity and Shortness of LifeVII - On Youth and Old Age, Life and Death VIII - On Respiration ( Summary Adapted from Wikipedia ) Hard Times by Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) LibriVox Hard Times, the shortest of Dickens's full-length novels, is set in the fictitious Victorian-England city of Coketown, where facts are the rule and all fancy is to be stamped out. The plot centers around the men and women of the town, some of whom are beaten down by the city's utilitarian ideals and some of whom manage to rise above it. The novel was written in 1854 and was a scathing attack on then-current ideas of utilitarianism, which Dickens viewed as a selfish and at times oppressive philosophy. Perhaps the novel's best features are its clever, ironic narration and the larger-than-life characters that push the plot forward, such as the upper-class banker and hypocritical braggart, Josiah Bounderby, and the fact-driven schoolmaster, Thomas Gradgrind. (Summary by Rosalind Wills).
