The Country of the Blind and Other Stories, by H.G. Wells. Part VI.

from Great Audiobooks · host Great Literature

A collection of Wells' short stories, with a short introductory essay by the author: "Essentially it is a miscellany of inventions, many of which were very pleasant to write; and its end is more than attained if some of them are refreshing and agreeable to read. I have now re-read them all, and I am glad to think I wrote them. I like them, but I cannot tell how much the associations of old happinesses gives them a flavour for me. I make no claims for them and no apology; they will be read as long as people read them." (From the author's Introduction.)H.G. Wells is best known as a writer of science fiction; "The Country of the Blind and Other Stories" is a collection only incidentally touched by science. Part I01 The Jilting of Jane 02 The Cone 03 The Stolen Bacillus 04 The Flowering of the Strange Orchid 05 In the Avu Observatory 06 Aepyornis Island 07 The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes  Part II08 The Lord of the Dynamos 09 The Moth 10 The Treasure in the Forest 11 The Story of the late Mr. Elvesham 12 Under the Knife  Part III13 The Sea Raiders 14 The Obliterated Man 15 The Plattner Story 16 The Red Room 17 The Purple Pileus  Part IV18 A Slip Under the Microscope 19 The Crystal Egg 20 The Star 21 The Man Who Could Work Miracles  Part V22 A Vision of Judgement 23 Jimmy Goggles the god 24 Miss Winchelsea's Heart 25 A Dream of Armageddon  Part VI26 The Valley of Spiders 27 The New Accelerator 28 The Truth about Pyecraft 29 The Magic Shop 30 The Empire of the Ants  Part VII31 The Door in the Wall 32 The Country of the Blind 33 The Beautiful Suit Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Field Priest Methodius Chwastek The Field is a place of cultivation and of battle. In the Church, we learn to cultivate a life pleasing to God. This life is shaped in the spiritual battle. This series examines, chapter by chapter, the Christian classic The Field, by Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov. Please join me as I explain this great work in terms the modern Orthodox Christian can understand.  Hiking Grand Canyon This series contains great information for those who will be hiking the Grand Canyon. A variety of topics are discussed, including safety measures to take, camping suggestions, and how to preserve the canyon. Vampires of the Paper Flower Consortium Elizabeth Guizzetti Come for the evening, stay for eternity! Paper Flower Consortium is a podcast from the largest vampire coven in Seattle. Their stories are told by Loretta Fabron Onfoy, coven historian and librarian, in the hope that the modern vampire's way of life is not lost during the next great language transformation. Some tales in this anthology are horrific, some are droll, some are filled with misadventure--just like any eternal existence. Episodes sponsored by the Paper Flower Consortium's Business Community. The history is followed by questions from curious initiates. Want to ask Lady Loretta a question about vampirism? Have a topic you want to see discussed? Email [email protected] The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
