  What if the greatest discovery of your life was hidden behind a simple green door you could never find again? 
  In The Door in the Wall, and Other Stories, reality is a fragile tapestry waiting to be unraveled. In the titular tale, a prominent politician is haunted by the childhood memory of a mystical garden, forcing him to choose between worldly success and the pursuit of an elusive utopia. But the journey doesn't end there. Brace yourself for cataclysmic extinction in 'The Star' as a rogue planetary body races toward Earth, boiling oceans and shattering continents. Witness the psychological torment of a man living a continuous future life torn apart by a horrific, advanced war in 'A Dream of Armageddon,' and feel the suffocating industrial dread as a jealous ironmaster seeks fiery vengeance in 'The Cone.'

  Moby Dick

  Herman Melville, Eden Garret

  A vast ocean, a single obsession, and a hunt that consumes everything in its path. Moby-Dick from Herman Melville draws the listener into one of literature’s most powerful and relentless voyages. Told through the eyes of sailor Ishmael, the story follows the doomed expedition of Captain Ahab, whose fixation on the great white whale drives him—and his crew—toward an uncertain and dangerous fate. 
   
  What begins as a whaling journey deepens into something far more complex, weaving together adventure, philosophy, and stark reflections on man’s struggle against nature and himself. The sea becomes both setting and symbol, vast and unforgiving. The narrative gains a sweeping, immersive intensity, carrying the listener through calm waters and violent storms alike, where every moment builds toward an unforgettable reckoning.

  A boy born blind in a Ukrainian country house grows up learning the world through sound, and becomes a musician. Korolenko wrote it in 1886 after his own years in Siberian exile, and it is the gentlest thing he did - the argument is that a life is not diminished by what it lacks. This edition pairs Aline Delano's translation with ten bound plates by Munch, Kuindzhi, Shishkin and Siemiradzki, and twenty-two illustrations restored and coloured for this volume.

  Women in Love - A Novel of Four...

  D. H. Lawrence

  Two sisters in a Midlands mining town take up with two men — a school inspector and a colliery owner — and the four of them argue their way across England and into the Alps about whether love is a bond or a cage. Lawrence's publisher dropped the book, it was called degenerate in print, and he could not place it for four years. It is the novel where he stopped writing stories and started writing forces. Fifty-nine plates by painters including Edvard Munch and William Orpen follow the novel's argument through mining landscapes, war-torn ground, and figures caught between love and force.
