Sinossi

In "Orgueil et Préjugés" (bilingual edition: French-English), Jane Austen intertwines wit and social commentary, scrutinizing the intricacies of love, class, and reputation in early 19th-century England. The novel, celebrated for its keen observations and timeless themes, employs a rich narrative style characterized by free indirect discourse, allowing readers profound insight into the characters' internal lives. Set against the backdrop of a rigid social hierarchy, Austen deftly illustrates the tension between individual desires and societal expectations, ultimately presenting a nuanced critique of pride and prejudice in its many forms. Jane Austen, who lived in a predominantly male literary ecosystem, drew upon her keen observations of family dynamics and class relations within her own upbringing in Hampshire. The experiences of her life—including the challenges faced by women in securing financial independence and marital success—deeply informed her narrative choices. Her ability to imbue humor and irony into serious societal critique reflects the complexities she herself navigated as an author. "Orgueil et Préjugés" is recommended for readers who seek a profound yet entertaining exploration of human relationships and social mores. The bilingual format enriches both the literary experience and the appreciation of Austen's linguistic finesse, making it an essential read for students of literature and lovers of romance alike.

    Title: Polaris 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1920 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 43 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    Polaris by H. P. Lovecraft is a dreamlike descent into obsession, identity, and cosmic futility. Set beneath the eerie shimmer of the North Star, it unfolds as both a tale of ancient war and a fevered vision of a soul caught between two worlds — the waking and the eternal. 
    The narrator, haunted by dreams of a lost city beneath the Arctic light, becomes convinced he is the reincarnation of a watchman doomed to fail in his sacred duty. As memory, madness, and destiny blur, Polaris becomes a meditation on guilt and the insignificance of man beneath the indifferent stars. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Lovecraft’s hypnotic rhythm and the slow unravelling of sanity that defines his early cosmic vision — the sense that truth may be glimpsed only in dreams, and that awakening brings no escape. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre and uncanny, Polaris endures as an early glimpse of Lovecraft’s cosmic dread — a haunting reminder that even the stars above may whisper our doom.
