Asmr with the classics
778 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago - ★★★★★ - 17 ratingsMy goal is to use classic literature to better understand history ,
Literature allows a person to step back in time and learn about life on Earth from the ones who walked before us. We can gather a better understanding of culture and have a greater appreciation of them. We learn through the ways history is recorded, in the forms of manuscripts and through speech itself.
In ancient times, families would pass down stories by firelight
I hope you enjoy the stories we hear and the fun little research projects I record
