For LITURAE, I read classic short stories aloud, paired with healing frequencies and soft music to calm the mind and soothe the soul. Tonight’s tale: a fierce and tragic parable from the hills of Corsica.

SUMMARY •In the rugged Corsican countryside, the strict code of honor governs all. Mateo Falcone, a respected patriarch, teaches his son Fortunato the consequences of betrayal when a wounded outlaw appears near their home. What follows is a chilling lesson in family, justice, and the unforgiving weight of tradition. Mateo Falcone is a powerful tale of morality that forces the listener to confront where loyalty ends—and legacy begins.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR •PROSPER MÉRIMÉE was a French writer, historian, and archaeologist best known for his novellas and vivid character studies. A keen observer of culture and conflict, he often set his stories in exotic or regional locales, exploring the tension between law and honor. First published in 1829, Mateo Falcone remains one of his most striking and haunting short works.

LITURAE’S AMBIANCE •This podcast blends the stillness of classic literature with the gentle pulse of binaural tones and quiet ambient music. Each episode offers a restful space to unwind, reflect, and return to the stories that shaped generations.

Let this reading meet you where you are—and carry you gently onward.
