  The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (published 1876) is a very well-known and popular story concerning American youth. Mark Twain's lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls, especially Becky Thatcher, with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. 
  One of the most famous incidents in the book describes how Tom persuades his friends to do a boring, hateful chore for him: whitewashing (i.e., painting) a fence. 
  This was the first novel to be written on a typewriter.

  Set in the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, The House of Mapuhi is a gripping tale of ambition, greed, and nature’s unrelenting fury. In this powerful short story by Jack London, a humble islander named Mapuhi dreams of building a fine house — a symbol of prestige and modern comfort. When he discovers an enormous, priceless pearl, he believes his dream is within reach. But the island’s harsh social dynamics and the looming threat of a devastating hurricane put everything in peril. 
  Jack London’s vivid prose and unflinching realism paint a striking portrait of life in the South Seas — where colonial forces, native desires, and the power of nature collide. Combining adventure, tragedy, and a sharp critique of materialism, this story delivers a potent blend of suspense and social commentary. 
  Ideal for listeners who enjoy sea tales, island dramas, and morally complex characters, The House of Mapuhi remains as haunting and relevant as ever.

  RENEE: I was ten years old then, and my sister was eight. The responsibility was on me to warn everyone when the soldiers were coming because my sister and both my parents were deaf. 
   
   
   
  I was my family's ears. 
   
   
   
  Meet Renee and Herta, two sisters who faced the unimaginable—together. This is their true story. 
   
   
   
  As Jews living in 1940s Czechoslovakia, Renee, Herta, and their parents were in immediate danger when the Holocaust came to their door. As the only hearing person in her family, Renee had to alert her parents and sister whenever the sound of Nazi boots approached their home so they could hide. 
   
   
   
  But soon their parents were tragically taken away, and the two sisters went on the run, desperate to find a safe place to hide. Eventually they, too, would be captured and taken to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Communicating in sign language and relying on each other for strength in the midst of illness, death, and starvation, Renee and Herta would have to fight to survive the darkest of times. 
   
   
   
  This gripping memoir is a testament to the power of sisterhood and love, and now more than ever a reminder of how important it is to honor the past, and keep telling our own stories.
