Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published.... The story follows the adventures of a hidalgo named Mr. Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the novel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and intertextuality. It had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word 'quixotic' and the epithet 'Lothario.' Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written, along with Tristram Shandy, La Nouvelle Héloïse and Wilhelm Meister. - Summary by Wikipedia More information: http://librivox.org/don-quixote-vol-2-ormsby-translation-by-miguel-de-cervantes-saavedra/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

The Story of a Loaf of Bread by Thomas Barlow WOOD (1869 - 1929) Genre(s): Crafts & Hobbies, Cooking Read by: Karl Thornton, jenno, Linda Johnson, realisticspeakers, Kathleen Moore, mpcarlisle in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Wheat-growing 00:23:52 - 02 - Marketing 00:45:39 - 03 - The Quality of Wheat 01:16:52 - 04 - The Quality of Wheat from the Miller's Point of View 01:50:50 - 05 - The Milling of Wheat 02:16:55 - 06 - Baking 02:42:48 - 07 - The Composition of Bread 02:58:43 - 08 - Concerning Different Kinds of Bread According to the author in the preface, he has 'ventured to write this little book with some diffidence, for it deals with farming, milling and baking, subjects on which everyone has his own opinion.' The earlier chapters give a brief sketch of the growing and marketing of wheat, followed by chapters on various aspects that impact the quality of wheat, the baking process and the characteristic of the final product, bread. The author aimed at making the reader realise that the farmer's share in the production of the staple food of the people is by no means the simple affair it appears to be. - Summary by Leni More information: https://librivox.org/the-story-of-a-loaf-of-bread-by-thomas-barlow-wood/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
