Short Fiction ✨ By Robert Sheckley FULL Audiobook
Short Fiction. By Robert Sheckley FULL Audiobook
"Short Fiction" by Robert Sheckley is a collection of science fiction stories that showcases the wit, creativity, and thought-provoking concepts of this prolific writer. Although Sheckley may be less known today, he was a giant in his time, nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula awards. His stories blend serious themes with comedic elements, leaving a lasting impression on readers.
Here are some highlights from this captivating anthology:
1. “Watchbird”: In this prescient tale, Sheckley explores the idea of detecting murder before it occurs. Three years before Philip K. Dick’s “The Minority Report,” Sheckley introduces a world where watchbirds prevent crimes by identifying potential killers.
2. “Ask a Foolish Question”: Twenty-six years before Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Sheckley presents an all-knowing Answerer. People seek answers to life’s ultimate questions, and the Answerer responds. But what if the answer isn’t what they expected?
3. “A Strange but Familiar Country”: Set in a mysterious land, this story delves into the complexities of identity and memory. What happens when you encounter a place that feels both familiar and alien?
4. “A Supplicant in Space”: A thought-provoking exploration of faith and belief. When a supplicant seeks answers from an extraterrestrial being, the encounter challenges their worldview.
5. “A Thief in Time”: Sheckley weaves time travel into a thrilling narrative. A thief discovers a way to steal from the past, but the consequences are far-reaching.
6. “A Ticket to Tranai”: Imagine a world where you can buy a ticket to any destination-real or fictional. But what if the journey takes an unexpected turn?
Sheckley’s writing style is both humorous and stylistically rich. He crafts English exceptionally well, earning praise from fellow writers like Douglas Adams and Kingsley Amis. His stories transcend traditional science fiction boundaries, touching on philosophy, morality, and the human condition.
This collection includes all of Sheckley’s public domain short fiction, ordered by the date of first publication. Dive into these imaginative worlds and experience the genius of Robert Sheckley-a master storyteller who continues to inspire readers across generations..

Gladiator 🌟 By Philip Wylie FULL Audiobook
Het is een zeer goed luisterboek, maar wel erg gezien vanuit de positie van Engeland(the British Empire) en dan natuurlijk de tijd waarin het geschreven is, ik als Nederlander was altijd wel geïnteresseerd in de Zuid Afrikaanse geschiedenis, ik ben als amateur historicus altijd al wel nieuwsgierig , vanwege het feit dat veel familie namen Nederlands waren en bijna elke stad of zelfs kleine steden een Afrikaner buurt/wijk hadden en ik was toen nog maar 10 jaar oud Later op volwassen leeftijd heb ik en serieuze studie vericht nasr de Zuid Afrikaanse en de Afrikaner gwschiedenis en daarmee ook de geschiedenis van mijn eigen land Het begin punt was de republiek der Verenigde zeven provincies Of te wel Holland in de gouden eeuw(1600 t/m 1700) Ik benadruk natuurlijk de geschiedenis van de Afrikaners(de Boeren) het is niet mijn bedoeling om de Zulu's de Kosi en.de Xhosa mensen te benadelen ik was en ben zeer tegen het hele apartheid regime geweest en heb me in het verleden diep geschaamd vanwege de Nederlandse herkomst van de Afrikaners/Boeren en ik ook nog gedeeltel8jk van de Hugenoten afstam zie mijn Familie naam Peter.A.B. Deschaux ik zou graag nog meer willen weten, waarom ik dit in get Nederlands vermeld, Normaliter doe ik dat ook meestal in het Engels, maar gezien de inhoud van dit luisterboek besloot ik het in het Nederlands te dien aangezien Nederlands de oorsprong is van het Afrikaans de Boer taal zeg maar Vriendelijke groeten en ik mag aannemen dat de moderne Nederlandse spelling vertaald kan worden in het Engels Peter Deschaux Roosendaal Noord Brabant Koningrijk der Nederlanden 11februari 2025. 🇱🇺

This is a very accessible format to familiarize oneself with such an important and in this case voluminous piece of work. Lends itself to good screenshots to capture desired quotes. TY. BTW: I liked and am sharing. ☃️
This classic literature is very famous in Thailand, since we are Buddhist. Thanks very much for publicizing this title. 😊

Very good video, with clear subtitles. As for me as old guy - perfect.
Thanks a lot:
Superb. Is not possible to make also Pan Wołodyjowski in same mode? I would be grateful.
I enjoyed this for the most part it's something that I have been trying to find for a little while so I appreciate the upload. However, it sounds like there are a couple words that did not get read correctly, possibly due to small or irregular font, which is common with old books
Are parts 2/4 and 3/4 available anywhere else? Some people end up having to put their things on platforms like Vimeo.
