I like reading and I like having someone read to me. To ensure both of those parameters were met I began narrating audiobooks, which you shall find showing up on this Podcast. YouTube is where I began my journey but I can't expect everyone to have YouTube music or pro or whatever the minimizable version is, so welcome to the Spotify version of 'Kenneth DSilva narrates audiobooks'

A General in The Library (Audiobook) short story by Italo Calvino

The military leaders of the nation of Panduria have stumbled on some shocking news, the idea that books might not paint war and invasion as positive things, and that they might carry the idea that the military leaders were human, and capable of making mistakes. To verify these facts, General Fedina is sent to the largest library in the country with a small army. Their objective is to verify that the books there contain no objectional content.  The story here is an analysis on the transformative power of books and reading, and how they can be very dangerous weapons against the propaganda spewed by the ruling class. In addition it also shows how the ruling powers often use censorship as a means of controlling its people. The main idea explored here is that accumulating more knowledge and having access to books, allows one to think in more than just black and white, and allows the reader to have complex opinions on several topics.  Its a fun story with a hint of comedy and irony throughout. I hope you enjoy it.
