We have always loved stories. people have always entertained each other by telling tales around the campfire; traveling storytellers were huge crowd-pullers. Many of these stories were passed down through the generations, largely unchanged. "The stories made by the people, and told before evening fires, or in public places and at the gates of inns in the Orient, belong to the ages when books were few and knowledge limited, or to people whose fancy was not hampered by familiarity with or care for facts; they are the creations, as they were the amusement, of men and women who were children in knowledge, but were thinking deeply and often wisely of what life meant to them, and were eager to know and hear more about themselves, their fellows, and the world. In the earlier folk stories, one finds a childlike simplicity and readiness to believe in the marvelous, and these qualities are found also in the French peasant's version of the career of Napoleon.

At the end of the thirteenth century, the oppressed people of Scotland rebelled against their despised English ruler, Edward Longshanks. In Freedom's Cause recounts the Scots' desperate but ultimately triumphant struggle in the face of overwhelming odds - a hard-fought series of battles conducted under the leadership of William Wallace and Robert Bruce. Time has burnished the feats of these great heroes to mythic proportions, but Wallace and Bruce were real people. This gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and ingenuity recounts their deeds within an accurate historical context. Readers join their company alongside a fictional protagonist, young Archie Forbes, whose estates have been wrongfully confiscated. Archie forms a group of scouts to fight alongside the legendary Scottish chieftains (who were memorably portrayed in the film Braveheart) for their country's independence.

Andre Norton's 'Star Born' pictures a human colony in another galaxy, driven away from Earth generations ago by a repressive government. Considered outlaws, the colonists are in permanent hiding. They have developed friendship and cooperation with a local race of 'mermen' who are equally at home on land or sea. But that race only took to the sea to escape a malevolent power that hunted them and killed them violently for sport - Those Others. With a global decline in the population and reach of Those Others, contacts are few and humans have no direct knowledge of them. So it is a major surprise when Dalgard, a human scout on his coming-of-age expedition, along with his 'knife-brother' Sssuri of the mermen, run into a party of Those Others who are bent on reclaiming hideous weaponry left behind in one of their abandoned cities... and find that they are being aided by new arrivals from Earth.

Uncle Remus Stories was first published in 1906 by Joel Chandler Harris, and is presented here with full illustrations by A.B . Frost and Harry Rowntree. Uncle Remus is a collection of animal stories, songs, and oral folklore, collected from Southern United States African-Americans. Many of the stories are didactic, much like those of Aesop's Fables and the stories of Jean de La Fontaine. Uncle Remus is a kindly old former slave who serves as a storytelling device, passing on the folktales to children gathered around him. Br'er Rabbit ("Brother Rabbit") is the main character of the stories, a likable character, prone to tricks and trouble-making who is often opposed by Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear. Br'er Fox constructs a lump of tar in one tale and puts clothing on it. When Br'er Rabbit comes along he addresses the "tar baby" amiably, but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as Tar Baby's lack of manners, punches it, and becomes stuck Chapters: 00:00:00 1 - 01 - Uncle Remus initiates the Little Boy 00:06:45 1 - 02 - The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story 00:12:34 1 - 03 - Why Mr. Possum Loves Peace 00:19:21 1 - 04 - How Mr. Rabbit was too sharp for Mr. Fox 00:24:48 1 - 05 - The Story of the Deluge, and how it came about 00:30:55 1 - 06 - Mr. Rabbit grossly deceives Mr. Fox 00:40:23 1 - 07 - Mr. Fox is again victimized 00:49:15 1 - 08 - Mr. Fox is outdone by Mr. Buzzard 00:55:27 1 - 09 - Miss Cow falls a Victim to Mr. Rabbit 01:04:32 1 - 10 - Mr. Terrapin appears upon the Scene 01:13:16 1 - 11 - Mr. Wolf makes a Failure 01:20:51 1 - 12 - Mr. Fox tackles Old Man Tarrypin 01:26:19 1 - 13 - The Awful Fate of Mr. Wolf 01:33:59 1 - 14 - Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs 01:38:17 1 - 15 - Mr. Fox goes a-hunting, but Mr. Rabbit bags the Game 01:42:52 1 - 16 - Old Mr. Rabbit, he's a Good Fisherman 01:49:28 1 - 17 - Mr. Rabbit nibbles up the Butter 01:58:33 1 - 18 - Mr. Rabbit finds his Match at last 02:06:55 1 - 19 - The Fate of Mr. Jack Sparrow 02:16:09 1 - 20 - How Mr. Rabbit saved his Meat 02:25:10 1 - 21 - Mr. Rabbit meets his Match again 02:30:27 1 - 22 - A Story about the Little Rabbits 02:36:38 1 - 23 - Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Bear 02:42:41 1 - 24 - Mr. Bear catches Old Mr. Bull-Frog 02:50:02 1 - 25 - How Mr. Rabbit lost his Fine Bushy Tail 02:56:11 1 - 26 - Mr. Terrapin shows his Strength 03:03:59 1 - 27 - Why Mr. Possum has no Hair on his Tail 03:12:50 1 - 28 - The End of Mr. Bear 03:20:55 1 - 29 - Mr. Fox gets into Serious Business 03:28:59 1 - 30 - How Mr. Rabbit succeeded in raising a Dust 03:36:28 1 - 31 - A Plantation Witch 03:46:24 1 - 32 - Jacky-my-Lantern 03:55:34 1 - 33 - Why the Negro is Black 03:59:36 1 - 34 - The Sad Fate of Mr. Fox 04:09:43 1 - 35 - Plantation Proverbs 04:17:51 2 - 1 - Revival Hymn, Camp-Meeting Song, Corn-Shucking Song 04:27:11 2 - 2 - The Plough-hands Song, Christmas Play-Song, Plantation Play-Song, A Plantation Chant, A Plantation Serenade 04:36:43 2 - 3 - De Big Bethel Church, Time goes by Turns 04:40:16 3 - A Story of the War 05:00:10 4 - 1 - Jeems Rober'son's Last Illness, Uncle Remus's Church Experience, Uncle Remus and the Savannah Darkey 05:11:48 4 - 2 - Turnip Salad as a Text, A Confession, Uncle Remus with the Toothache 05:21:09 4 - 3 - The Phonograph, Race Improvement, In the Role of a Tartar 05:30:09 4 - 4 - A Case of Measles, The Emigrants, As a Murderer 05:39:52 4 - 5 - His Practical View of Things, That Deceitful Jug, The Florida Watermelon 05:54:45 4 - 6 - Uncle Remus preaches to a Convert, As to Education, A Temperance Reformer 06:02:07 4 - 7 - As a Weather Prophet, The Old Man's Troubles, The Fourth of July Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/AudiobookH Free 30-day Audible trial: https://amzn.to/441fKHF Play to Earn Crypto: https://rollercoin.com/?r=l07feaxy

Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas that are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method but are not facts of the author's contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically "think" rather than "shoot" their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author's imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written prior to 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired.

Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. He is well known for having created the character Conan the Cimmerian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Voracious reading, along with a natural talent for prose writing and the encouragement of teachers, conspired to create in Howard an interest in becoming a professional writer. One by one he discovered the authors that would influence his later Jack London and Rudyard Kipling. It's clear from Howard's earliest writings and the recollections of his friends that he suffered from severe depression from an early age. Friends recall him defending the act of suicide as a valid alternative as early as eighteen years old, while many of his stories and poems have a suicidal gloom and intensity that seem prescient in hindsight, describing such an end not as a tragedy but as a release from hell on earth.

Saint Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 - 543 or 547) is honored by the Catholic Church as the patron saint of Europe and its students. Benedict founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, Italy (about 40 miles (64 km) to the east of Rome), before moving to Monte Cassino in the mountains of southern Italy. One of his most well-known achievements is his 'Rule of Saint Benedict', containing precepts for his monks.

Euripides' play follows the fates of the women of Troy after their city has been sacked, their husbands killed, and their remaining families are about to be taken away as slaves. However, it begins first with the gods Athena and Poseidon discussing ways to punish the Greek armies because they condoned Ajax the Lesser for dragging Cassandra away from Athena's temple. What follows shows how much the Trojan women have suffered as their grief is compounded when the Greeks dole out additional deaths and divide their shares of women.

Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books are a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources (who had collected them originally), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the stories.

The Cherry Orchard is Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's last play. It premiered at the Moscow Art Theatre on 17 January 1904 in a production directed by Constantin Stanislavski. Chekhov intended this play as a comedy and it does contain some elements of farce; however, Stanislavski insisted on directing the play as a tragedy. Since this initial production, directors have had to contend with the dual nature of this play. The play concerns an aristocratic Russian woman and her family as they return to the family's estate (which includes a large and well-known cherry orchard) just before it is auctioned to pay the mortgage. The story presents themes of cultural futility — both the futility of the aristocracy to maintain its status and the futility of the bourgeoisie to find meaning in its new-found materialism. In reflecting on the socioeconomic forces at work in Russia at the turn of the 20th century, including the rise of the middle class after the abolition of serfdom in the mid-19th century and the sinking of the aristocracy, the play reflects forces at work around the globe in that period.

Teresa of Ávila, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus, baptized as Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada (28 March 1515 – 4 October 1582), was a prominent Spanish mystic, Roman Catholic saint, Carmelite nun, an author of the Counter-Reformation and theologian of contemplative life through mental prayer. She was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered to be a founder of the Discalced Carmelites along with John of the Cross. In 1622, forty years after her death, she was canonized by Pope Gregory XV and on 27 September 1970, was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI. Her books, which include her autobiography (The Life of Teresa of Jesus) and her seminal work El Castillo Interior (trans.: The Interior Castle) are an integral part of Spanish Renaissance literature as well as Christian mysticism and Christian meditation practices as she entails in her other important work, Camino de Perfección.

Francisco Pizarro (1471 - 1541) was born into poverty, the illegitimate son of a Spanish soldier. After a brief career as a swineherd, he volunteered to join an expedition to the colony of Darien in Panama. He rose through the ranks to become the right-hand man of the governor.

The existence of the Russian Skazki or Märchen was first made generally known to the British public by Mr W. R. S. Ralston in his “Russian Folk-Tales.” That excellent and most engrossing volume was, primarily, a treatise on Slavonic folk-lore, illustrated with admirable skill and judgment by stories, mainly selected from the vast collection of Afanasiev, who did for the Russian what Asbjörnsen has done for the Norwegian folk-tale. A year after the appearance of Mr Ralston's book, the eminent Russian historian and archaeologist, Peter Nikolaevich Polevoi (well known, too, as an able and ardent Shakespearean scholar), selected from the inexhaustible stores of Afanasiev some three dozen of the Skazki, and worked them up into a fairy-tale book which was published at St Petersburg in 1874, under the title of “Narodnuiya Russkiya Skazki” (“Popular Russian Tales”). M. Polevoi did his work excellently well, and, while softening the crudities and smoothing out the occasional roughness of these charming stories, neither injured their simple texture nor overlaid the original pattern. It is from the first Russian edition of M. Polevoi's book that the following selection has been made. With the single exception of Morozko, a variant of which will be familiar to those who know Mr Ralston's volume, none of these tales had seen the light in an English dress before the publication of the first edition of my book; for though both Ralston and Polevoi drew, for the most part, from the same copious stock, their purposes were so different that their selections naturally proved to be different also. As to the merits of these Skazki, they must be left to speak for themselves. It is a significant fact, however, that scholars who are equally familiar with the Russian Skazki and the German Märchen unhesitatingly give the palm, both for fun and fancy, to the former.

When it first opened in St Petersburg in 1896, The Seagull survived only five performances after a disastrous first opening night. Two years later it was revived by Nemirovich-Danchenko at the newly-founded Moscow Art Theatre with Stanslasky as Trigorin and was an immediate success. Checkhov's description of the play was characteristically self-mocking: "A comedy - 3F, 6M, four acts, rural scenery (a view over a lake); much talk of literature, little action, five bushels of love".

Ghosts is the story of Helen Alving, a widow who is haunted by the many mistresses of her deceased husband and by her son who has inherited syphilis from his philandering father. Ghosts is a scathing indictment of Victorian society in which Ibsen refutes the notion that if one simply fulfills one's duty rather than following one's desires then a good and noble life will be achieved. Scandalous in its day for its frank discussion of venereal disease and marital infidelity, Ghosts remains to this day an intense psychological drama and sharp social criticism. Ghosts was written during the autumn of 1881 and was published in December of the same year. It was not performed in the theatre until May 1882, when a Danish touring company produced it in the Aurora Turner Hall in Chicago. Ibsen disliked the translator William Archer's use of the word 'Ghosts' as the play's title, whereas the Norwegian Gengangere would be more accurately translated as The Revenants, which literally means The Ones who Return.
