Sinopse

'He's a vampire. He sucks the life out of people because his own life bores him so much.'
A plague rages across Europe. On a remote island, former actress Alice and army officer Captain Edgar are quarantined together – locked in a bitter, brutal and compulsive marriage.
When an old friend arrives to help celebrate their wedding anniversary, it's the perfect excuse for the couple to take their games to a terrifying new level.
Filled with wit and savagery, Richard Eyre's thrilling version of August Strindberg's Dance of Death is a darkly comic portrait of psychological warfare. It premiered at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, in 2026.

    A timeless classic of love, longing, and the search for meaning, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s definitive novel of the Lost Generation. 
    Follow war veteran and journalist Jake Barnes as he navigates the vibrant streets of 1920s Paris and the bullfighting arenas of Spain with his circle of expatriate friends. At the heart of it all is Lady Brett Ashley—beautiful, charismatic, and unattainable—whose complicated relationships fuel the novel’s emotional depth. Against a backdrop of café culture, revelry, and moral disillusionment, Hemingway’s spare, powerful prose captures the emptiness and excess of a postwar world. 
    Now brought to life in this evocative audiobook, The Sun Also Rises immerses listeners in Hemingway’s iconic style and unforgettable characters. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or returning to an old favorite, this masterful narration delivers the novel’s raw emotion and haunting beauty like never before. 
    Experience the novel that defined a generation—listen today.

    Poetry is meant for everyone. 
    For you. For your child. But where to start? 
    Poems Every Child Should Know is here to help. 
    Selected and accompanied by commentary from bestselling author and literature professor Joseph Pearce, this exciting collection of verse contains classic poems that every child should know to begin a poetic ascent towards God. Not only that, but these poems are chosen so as to help all "become as little children," and are ones everyone should know, regardless of age. These timeless treasures form a foundation upon which to build poetic knowledge and to see the world through the eyes of a poet, the way God intended it. 
    Culled from the rich history of English poetry, these gems of the English language’s inheritance are meant to enrich our children’s cultural treasure chest. Verse, like virtue, is often most beautiful when it is most simple. A good beginning makes a good end all the more likely, so immersing children in beautiful words—words which so powerfully and continually shape our world, our thoughts, our prayers—and teaching them to take a minute and stop to observe a beautiful sentence is of the utmost importance. Appreciating beauty in even the most ordinary of life’s moments is a lesson that will prepare their minds to receive Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Himself. 
    Throughout the book, readers will find “things to think about,” inviting them to engage more deeply with individual poems. These should be seen as an invitation to an adventure into unknown territory, an opportunity to go further up and further in. Be fearless, be adventurous, and enjoy this journey into the realm of the good, the true, and the beautiful of our English language.

    This third "stove-top" full of Alphabet Soups --again-- runs the fullest gamut!

Have fun, and be sure to tune in for the fourth volume, which promises to break new ground in Alphabet Books! (Summary by Denny Sayers)

    Breathing in Broken Spaces 
    Heartbreak. Trauma. Loss. Healing. Rebirth. 
    Some wounds don’t just fade—they shape us. 
    Breathing in Broken Spaces is an unfiltered and deeply personal poetry collection that delves into the rawest corners of heartbreak, trauma, and survival. Through piercingly honest verses, Belinda Daou lays bare the loneliness of grief, the weight of past wounds, and the quiet, aching process of piecing oneself back together after being shattered. 
    This book is for those who have loved and lost, for the ones carrying silent battles within them, and for anyone searching for words that echo their unspoken pain. It is a safe space where emotions aren’t just expressed—but truly seen, understood, and honored. 
    This collection gives voice to the devastation of toxic love, the suffocation of manipulation, and the slow erosion of self-worth at the hands of the wrong person. It speaks to the ones who have stayed too long, who have fought for love that only broke them, and who are now learning to unlearn the lies they were told about themselves. 
    More than just poetry, Breathing in Broken Spaces is a reckoning with the past and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is breathtakingly raw, unapologetically vulnerable, and deeply real. It is the brutal honesty of suffering, the messy in-between of healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep breathing, even when the air feels heavy. 
    This collection is not just about pain—it is about survival. About learning to breathe again through the cracks of brokenness. About reclaiming the parts of yourself you thought were lost forever. 
    For those who have been lost in the darkness, this book is a whisper: 
    You are not alone. You were never too much. You deserve to be whole.
