• Anticipations (Part 2)

  Support Us : Donation Page – LibriVox Free AudiobooksWells considered this book one of his most important, a natural follow-up to such works as his Man of the Year Million and The Time Machine. His goal was to get people to think and act in new ways. The book starts with a look at how humans get along socially and how they carry out their business ventures. It then discusses how these elements influence others, such as politics, the world of work, and education. H. G. tried to make clear how the current social order was disintegrating without preparing another to take its place. He then traced the roots of democracy, which in its present state he saw as unworkable. Instead, he proposed a new republic. He also critiqued modern warfare.

• The Antichrist

  Support Us:Donation Page – LibriVox Free AudiobooksFriedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)Translated by H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)Save for his raucous, rhapsodical autobiography, Ecce Homo, The Antichrist is the last thing that Nietzsche ever wrote, and so it may be accepted as a statement of some of his most salient ideas in their final form. Of all Nietzsche’s books, The Antichrist comes nearest to conventionality in form. It presents a connected argument with very few interludes, and has a beginning, a middle and an end. The reason to listen to this version is that H.L. Mencken, the famous journalist, turned Nietzsche's German into such direct, plain-spoken American English that it puts the haranguing philosopher right up in your face.Genre(s): *Non-fiction, Atheism & AgnosticismLanguage: EnglishKeyword(s): literature (1956), philosophy (970)Support Us:⁠Donation Page – LibriVox Free Audiobooks⁠
