  What if the man you wronged refused to let you forget? 
  The Permanent Husband unfolds as a taut confrontation between suave Ivan Velchaninov and brooding Pavel Trusotsky, who arrives bearing the ghost of betrayal—and perhaps a child conceived in that very betrayal.  
  Their conversations crackle with hidden barbs, exposing wounds neither is willing to heal. Dostoevsky’s concise masterpiece becomes an immersive listening experience, rich with irony, tension, and unexpected flashes of dark humor. 
  What you’ll hear inside: 
  - A Psychological Chess Match – Every word a move, every pause a threat. 
  - Portraits of Guilt and Jealousy – Voices that reveal trembling pride and desperate vulnerability. 
  - A Modern Performance – Clear, dynamic narration that brings nineteenth-century St. Petersburg to life. 
  - A Story That Haunts Long After the Final Sentence – Perfect for listeners who crave moral complexity in under three hours. 
  Total listening time: approximately 2 hours 30 minutes—ideal for a single suspense-filled evening.

  Who Owns England?: How We Lost...

  ‘A formidable, brave and important book’ Robert Macfarlane 
  ‘Absolutely brilliant…You cannot read this book and defend the establishment’ Alastair Campbell, The Rest is Politics 
  Who owns England? 
  Behind this simple question lies this country’s oldest and best-kept secret. This is the history of how England’s elite came to own our land, and an inspiring manifesto for how to open up our countryside once more.  
  This book has been a long time coming. Since 1086, in fact. For centuries, England’s elite have covered up how they got their hands on millions of acres of our land, by constructing walls, burying surveys and more recently, sheltering behind offshore shell companies. But with the dawn of digital mapping and the Freedom of Information Act, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for them to hide. 
  Trespassing through tightly-guarded country estates, ecologically ravaged grouse moors and empty Mayfair mansions, writer and activist Guy Shrubsole has used these 21st century tools to uncover a wealth of never-before-seen information about the people who own our land, to create the most comprehensive map of land ownership in England that has ever been made public. 
  From secret military islands to tunnels deep beneath London, Shrubsole unearths truths concealed since the Domesday Book about who is really in charge of this country – at a time when Brexit is meant to be returning sovereignty to the people. Melding history, politics and polemic, he vividly demonstrates how taking control of land ownership is key to tackling everything from the housing crisis to climate change – and even halting the erosion of our very democracy. 
  It’s time to expose the truth about who owns England – and finally take back our green and pleasant land. 
  *Guy's next book The Lie of the Land is out now* 
  As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Guy Shrubsole delves into the political and environmental aspects of land ownership in England, shedding light on the conservation and protection policies that have been kept hidden for centuries. His expertise in urban planning and law, combined with his passion for nature and science, makes this book a top choice for those interested in understanding the architecture of power in Britain. 
  For fans of Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Serviceberry), Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), Manchán Magan (Thirty-Two Words for Field), Yanis Varoufakis (Technofeudalism), and Isabella Tree (Wilding).

  This book consists of two titles:Mughal Empire - The Mughal Empire, also referred to as the Mogul or Moghul Empire, was one of the most powerful and influential early modern Islamic empires in South Asia. Established in the 16th century, it controlled vast regions for over two centuries, encompassing territories from the peripheries of the Indus basin in the west, extending to northern Afghanistan, Kashmir in the north, present-day Bangladesh in the east, and stretching as far south as the Deccan Plateau's uplands.Taj Mahal - The Taj Mahal stands as a breathtaking testament to Indo-Islamic architecture, celebrated as one of the most exquisite examples of this style in the world. Its origins are steeped in the emotional backdrop of its commission, reflecting the rich culture and history of the Mughal Empire, which wielded power over vast regions of India during the 16th and 17th centuries. The monument was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631. Her passing left an indelible mark on the emperor, inspiring him to create a monument that would embody his love and devotion.

  Our Search for Belonging - How...

  Why are we so divided today? Paradoxically, Howard Ross, author of Everyday Bias, says it's our compulsion to belong to a group--something hardwired into us-- that ends up making us deeply connected with some, yet deeply divided from others. Ross shows how we can overcome this growing tribalism. 
   
  We are living in a world of almost unparalleled separation. People are no longer disagreeing, but are instead disavowing each other's rights to an opinion. What is driving this polarization, and how can we overcome it? Howard Ross says that ironically it's our profound need to belong. He delves deeply into the powerful psychological, neurological, and biological forces that drive us to want to identify so strongly with a group we're sometimes even willing to sacrifice our individual identity. 
  Drawing on his decades of leadership in the diversity and inclusion field, Ross probes the depth and impact of this growing tribalism, the role social media plays in exacerbating it, the ways it impacts every aspect of the daily lives, and how to combat it.  Readers will gain tools for exploring contentious dialogue in healthier ways and guidelines for breaking down barriers and building bridges across difference, and organizations and institutions will be able to develop approaches that can open dialogue and encourage mutual understanding.
