To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf (Part 1)

A Creative Commons Zero [https://creativecommons.org/public-domain/cc0/] "No Rights Reserved" free, open-source audiobook, narrated by William Engels. This is from Part 1, titled "The Window," Chapters 1-5. One of the most beautifully written and mind-expanding works of modernist literature, Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse (1927) has recently entered the public domain. I wanted to celebrate by performing my way though the many "head-hops", metaphysical digressions, synesthetic collages, and iridescently shimmering prose passages that make up this short but potent work.

History of Philosophy Audio Archive, Episode #177 I have always loved Michael Sugrue [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sugrue], and I will never stop posting his talks. RIP to a legend (1957-2024). Always been curious about Goethe’s Faust (Parts I and II) and thought this was serve a good introduction. If looking for a physical copy, I have heard that the scholarly, complete, Princeton edition [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21943887-faust-i-ii-volume-2] is really good.
