A History of Freedom by Rufus J. Fears, The Great Courses
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 490.3 MB
Overview: It can be argued that one simple idea – the concept of freedom – has been the driving force of Western civilization and may be the most influential intellectual force the world has ever known. But what is freedom, exactly? These 36 engaging lectures tell the dramatic story of freedom from ancient Greece to our own day, exploring a concept so close to us we may never have considered it with the thoroughness it deserves.

In exploring what freedom meant to Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King, and other great historical figures, you’ll probe a range of provocative issues related to a concept we in the 21st century sometimes take for granted. What does it take to be free, to have and to hold liberty? What role do the liberal arts and the world of the intellect play in the life of a free society or a free individual? How should we understand the relationship among freedom, religion, and morality?

With Professor Fears guiding and informing your thinking, you explore the birth of the idea of freedom in Greece and the story of the world’s first democracy; the status and meaning of freedom in both the Roman Republic and the Empire; the role of Christianity in that flowering of freedom, and the Christian view of the true meaning of human liberation; the debates about freedom that informed the framing and ratification of the United States Constitution; its awful testing on the battlefields of the Civil War; the struggles of free peoples against domestic injustices and foreign dictatorships during the 20th century; and the questions about freedom we still face today.

To Valor’s Bid (Monster Girls in Space #1) by M. Tress (Narrated by: Jack Smith, Anne Marie Lebeaur)
Requirements: .M4B Player | 1GB | 18 hrs and 35 mins
Overview: Desmond McLaughlin was just getting through his life and trying to survive. A 9-5 job and a hobby that cost more than it earned left him just enough money to afford a crappy apartment and time to dream of something better. He was expecting to spend most of his life like this. He hadn’t expected to be greeted by a CIA agent waiting inside his house one evening. He wasn’t expecting that CIA agent to tell him that he was being drafted for a special mission. And he really wasn’t expecting to basically get kidnapped. But most of all, he wasn’t expecting to be told two important things. One, aliens were out there. And two, they wanted to take him as the first of the locals drafted from his planet to go to one of the few super-dreadnought class starships in the Hegemony and learn magic. Join Desmond as he learns to manipulate mana — a source of power that exists beyond the reach of most people in the universe — meets vastly different alien species, risks life and limb, all while trying to pass classes. If he’s lucky, he will find someone he can trust out here amongst the weird. If he’s very lucky, maybe someone he can love.

La casa sul mare celeste [ITA] by TJ Klune, Benedetta Gallo – traduttore (Narrated by: Guglielmo Scilla)
Requirements: .M4B Player | 800MB | 14 hrs and 40 mins
Overview: Linus Baker è un assistente sociale impiegato al Dipartimento della Magia Minorile. Il compito che esegue con scrupolosa professionalità è assicurarsi che i bambini dotati di poteri magici, cresciuti in appositi istituti in modo da proteggere quelli "normali", siano ben accuditi. La vita di Linus è decisamente tranquilla, per non dire monotona: vive in una casetta solitaria in compagnia di una gatta schiva e dei suoi amati dischi in vinile. Tutto cambia quando, inaspettatamente, viene convocato nell’ufficio della Suprema Dirigenza. È stato scelto per un compito inconsueto e top secret: dovrà recarsi su un’isola remota, Marsyas, e stabilire se l’orfanotrofio diretto da un certo Arthur Parnassus abbia i requisiti per rimanere aperto. Appena mette piede sull’isola, Linus si rende conto che i sei bambini ospitati nella struttura sono molto diversi da tutti quelli di cui ha dovuto occuparsi in passato. Il più enigmatico tra gli abitanti di Marsyas è però Arthur Parnassus, che dietro ai modi affabili nasconde un terribile segreto. Un’incantevole storia d’amore ambientata in una realtà fantastica, meravigliosamente narrata, su cosa significhi accorgersi che, a volte, si può scegliere la vita che si vuole. E, se si è abbastanza fortunati, magari quella vita ci sceglie a sua volta.
