“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.”

มุมมอง 23Kปีที่แล้ว
The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes. Here in this land of howling wind and infernal sand, four siblings find themselves scattered and lost. Their father was a sand diver, one of the elite few who could travel deep beneath the desert floor and bring up the relics and scraps that keep their people alive. But their father is gone. And the world he left behind...
The Professor and the Madman (Simon Winchester)
มุมมอง 13Kปีที่แล้ว
The Professor and the Madman, masterfully researched and eloquently written, is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary and literary history. The compilation of the OED, begun in 1857, was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing ...
Everything That Rises Must Converge
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could h...
This narrator could read the legal print on the back of a pack of diapers and it would be amazing. I could listen to her all day!!!

Why does he have a Scottish accent all of a sudden
Your voice is not good. American women have awful loud voices
Thank you ❤ Brightest of blessings! 🌺
Idk why, but the reader has an awful voice. Its horrible, I can't listen to this.
If you love words, you will be thrilled by this engrossing book. It is masterfully read. I am 45 minutes in, and I am thoroughly hooked. So far, nary an ad. Thank you, thank you for making this available for listening!!!

Final paragraph not included in this audiobook are as follows: “Palmer and Violet and their mother paused in the dismantling of the tent and ran to the gash to join the two boys, eyes and ears straining in the heavy darkness, tent canvas flapping in the gathering wind, the rhythmic sound of a steady advance, an approach, not of the dead or their long-gone sibling or their father - but of the even more impossible. It struck Rob first and then their mother, pattering across the desert floor, coming with a whoosh of cold wind and a blotting of the stars, a wetness from the heavens, an answer to the long silence, a sign that someone far away was listening. Their mother fell to her knees and burst into tears. And the sky wept for its people.”

Perhaps the best audiobook I have listened to on youtube. I LOVE everything I have ever read by Flannery O'Connor. One of my top ten favorite writers. ( and I have so many I love. Great writers have kept me sane and have given me an education, a distraction from chronic pain and so much more. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible work of short stories by F.O. I purchased the book on ebay today as well. One of the very best of audiobook listens.
Would anybody who read the book verify the ending please? It feels abrupt and Unfinished.
Same with Wool/Silo. Could have gone a bit further but, nope.
Check out the sequel Across the Sand. It picks up right where this one ends.
It ends one paragraph early.
I commented the final paragraph for anyone curious.
I have the book!
Is this the same world as silo? But if they go out the silo they die so why is this area safe?
No. This isn't the Silo trilogy.
also if you read the whole silo books....there would be a reason ...i don't want to spoil it for you but in the end you would see
So silo is just a part of the big story in the middle?
This is a separate novel to the Silo trilogy.
It would be very cool if they tied together at some point. Maybe much further in to the future?
Thanks for this delight
So interesting that they effectively crowd-sourced the OED, all those years ago!
Awesome thanks 👍
Poor Julian, he is the one who died for our sins😢😢😢
Julian is now nailed to the tree
Julian, he is a victim because he realizes his own sins
Is Julian a suffering Jesus?
A grubby child😢

This was made into a great film.
What was it called?
@@lindasimons691 The Professor and the Madman. I saw it on one of the streaming services. Mel Gibson plays in it.
@@cr3237 actually mel gibson directed it but bc he did not get the opportunity to choose a final cut, and thats why he did not support the film.
