Education

What makes us human? We tell stories, so great works of literature tell the emotional tale of human existence as we try to make sense of our existence and the world we live in. I consider fiction a distilled form of truth, coming from the depth of our subconscious mind.So this podcast looks at great novels from a philosophical or psycholgoical perspective, and is dedicated to bringing you the best of literature from around the world for you to enjoy. Each week, I will pick a great novel and discuss it in great details. I provide indepth summary and analaysis.
