DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Un scriitor (întâmplător sau nu, având același nume cu autorul) duce o existență cât se poate de mulțumitoare: singurul conflict autentic din viața lui, după cum ne anunță chiar de la început, este încăpățânarea de a scrie, când, după toate aparențele, nu are de ce. În lipsă de alte frământări, observă în tihnă lumea din jur și începe să ne povestească pe un ton firesc lucruri banale care i se întâmplă, în cartier și prin împrejurimi: o vizită la o clinică de gastroenterologie, prezentarea unor cursuri de scriere creativă la o librărie sau un drum la frizer.

On a quiet farm, the animals rise up against their human masters, dreaming of a world where all are equal. Inspired by the ideals of freedom and justice, they overthrow their oppressive rulers. However, what begins as a hopeful revolution quickly spirals into a grim tale of power, corruption, and betrayal. George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a masterful allegory that explores the complexities of revolution and the inevitable corruption that follows.

Dive into a world of laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt connections with this delightful audiobook, crafted especially for seniors. Each story is brought to life through engaging narration, offering lighthearted yet meaningful tales that entertain, inspire, and uplift.

Qualcuno mi chiede ancora de "La pioggia di Roseto". Fu un componimentino di nessuna pretesa, parodia della fin troppo osannata "La pioggia nel pineto" di D'Annunzio, che scrissi nel 2011 e che inclusi in un volumetto dal titolo "Duepuntozero", ormai pressoché introvabile, e che oggi comprerebbe solo qualche imbecille o qualche elettore della sedicente opposizione. A volte coincidono. Ho deciso di ricavarne un audiolibro e un podcast per ringraziare quanti mi onorano del proprio affetto e riservano alle mie nullaggini il loro ricordo.

الدنيا كالمرآة! ابتسم لهاتبتسم لك! مؤكد: لن يرتفع سعر الابتسام، ولن تنخفض قيمته! ابتسم الآن، فقد لا تقدر على ذلك غدا! الابتسامة تضئ العقل وتدفئ القلب! إذا لم تستطيع أن تبتسم فحاول أن تقلد الذين يفعلون ذلك!

Luni dimineaţa, pe Strada Cimitirului din orăşelul Luna de Jos, va avea loc deschiderea unui nou magazin, cu o denumire insolită: Măcelăria Kennedy. În jurul acestui eveniment, pus la punct în cele mai mici detalii, se derulează un carusel de întîmplări năucitoare, petrecute timp de trei zile şi trei nopţi, înainte de inaugurare, cu personaje simpatice, grave şi totodată pline de umor, cu îngeri durdulii, licurici, drăcuşori roşii, ţînţari vampirici şi berze costelive visînd la o ţară unde plouă cu broaşte.

Step into the wildly over-the-top world of The Curious Book (originally titled The Enemy Conquered; or, Love Triumphant), Mark Twain’s wickedly funny satire of 19th-century romantic fiction. In a tale dripping with flowery prose, impossible heroics, and swooning declarations of love, we meet the valiant Major Elfonzo—a man of honor, swordplay, and strangely poetic monologues. His heart beats only for the lovely Ambulinia, whose beauty is rivaled only by her baffling metaphors. But standing between them? An angry father, absurd obstacles, and enough melodrama to fuel a dozen dime novels.

In the playful style of Tom Robbins, Ed Abbey, and Kurt Vonnegut, Shawn Hartje’s Pipeliner is a laugh-out-loud journey through ‘90s culture. Idaho, 1993: Seventeen-year-old Jason Krabb falls for a girl from the other side of town who’s mixed up with a ragtag crew of pipeliners bringing gas lines through the high desert. Jason’s hilariously naive struggle to distinguish himself as one of the crew while attempting to leave his mark on the ‘90s grunge scene is a stirring reflection on adolescence.

What if everything we believed about morality, crime, health, and machines was reversed? In Erewhon, Samuel Butler delivers a brilliant satirical utopia where illness is treated as a crime, criminals are pitied like the sick, and machines are feared as dangerous competitors to mankind’s future.
