The Little Prince EP3:The Empty Applause

from Delusion | BookTalk

In this episode of the podcast, we continue aboard *The Little Prince*'s interstellar spaceship , arriving at the second planet, where we meet a vain person who lives in the 'illusion of praise.' In his eyes, the existence of the world is solely to satisfy his desire to 'be admired,' and the hat becomes a symbol of his elegant facade. Yet, all of this is so monotonous and lonely. We also visit a businessman obsessed with numbers, who meticulously counts the stars in the sky, coldly transforming these romantic symbols in the human imagination into 'assets.'Through these planets, the little prince continuously uncovers the absurd rules of the adult world—how should we confront vanity, wealth, and meaning?  Whether it is the mechanical games of the vain person or the businessman's act of locking romance into the drawer of 'possessions,' both prompt us to reflect on what the adult world has truly lost. Nourished by love and genuine interactions, the little prince offers us a sense of gentle solace and profound philosophy.This episode is not only suitable for fans of *The Little Prince* but also for those who wish to understand the contradictions of the adult world through a fairy tale. Why not put on your headphones and join the little prince in catching a glimpse of this imperfect yet thought-provoking world beneath the stars?  Come and listen, and let *The Little Prince* awaken the purest part of your heart!#小王子 #AntoineDeSaintExupéry #哲学启示 #经典文学 #爱情与成长 #中国播客 #练习 #英语 #听力 #文学解读 #中外经典 #小说分析 #纯真与浪漫 #圣埃克苏佩里 #经典文学 #梦想 #童心 #哲学故事 #英语听力练习 #跨文化交流 #文学之美 #成长与孤独 #TheLittlePrince #AntoineDeSaintExupery #ClassicLiterature #Dreams #ChildlikeHeart #PhilosophicalStories #English #Listening #Practice #CrossCulturalExchange #BeautyOfLiterature #GrowthAndLoneliness #Love #SelfExplore #童话 #哲学思考 #情感共鸣 #文学经典 #中文听力练习 #文学播客  #星际旅行 #驯养

The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins Richard Dawkins The Poetry of Reality is hosted by world renowned truth-teller, evolutionary biologist and best-selling author, Professor Richard Dawkins. He has been celebrated globally for his honest critique of religion and tradition and his push for critical thinking. His books include The Ancestor’s Tale, The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil’s Chaplain, The God Delusion, The Greatest Show on Earth, The Magic of Reality, his two-part autobiography An Appetite for Wonder and A Brief Candle in the Dark, and Outgrowing God: A Beginner’s Guide. Dawkins has long been known for his uncompromising passion for science, calling out for the pressing need in modern societies for scientific literacy and rational thinking, especially in the education of young minds. His relentless pursuit of truth, and his recognition of the beauty of life on earth, will feature in this podcast, as he charts his way through scientific and existential inquiries like ‘ The Awakening Kate Chopin Owing to its highly personal content focused on feminine sexuality, this LibriVox edition was recorded by eight female readers. The Modern Library edition of The Awakening has an introduction by Kay Gibbons, who writes: “The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine’s desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel.” – As Kay Gibbons points out, Chopin “was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it.”To give you an idea of the subject matter, Project Gutenburg catalogues The Awakening under "Adultery -- Fiction -- Women -- Louisiana -- New Orleans -- Social conditions.
