About this listen

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote the poem "Brahma" in 1856, synthesizing the essence of spirituality and Hinduism; exploring the mysteries of life and death.

Robert Sheckley in his short story, "If The Red Slayer", a line taken from Emerson's poem takes us to a battlefield of the future where dead men can be brought back to life seen from the eyes of a soldier who has been killed three times and brought back to life three times.

Mike Vendetti has created a very thought-provoking audiobook "Brahma & If The Red Slayer A Poem & Short Story" incorporating the poem and this short story.
