  This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama. Shakespeare’s life and decisions led to his acclaim, and in this book, we will lay out some of the most significant changes in both his personal choices and his career. Despite of his financial debts, his complex family life, and his background, he was able to entertain his audiences both in his time and for centuries after his death. 
  2: Mark Twain is arguably one of the most famous authors in the United States, with his books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. His characters were a typical and yet deviant episode of the time period in which he lived, depicting the circumstances under which many people lived. The paradox lies in the fact that many people were shocked and impressed by his stories at the same time. 
  3: Jane Austen is well-known for some famous books, among which the popular “Pride and Prejudice.” As an author in the early 1800s, many people may envision pretty dresses and fancy demeanor, but the reality of her life included some hardships as well that may not be so obvious by reading her novels. In this comprehensive guide, we shed more light on her situation, her road to success, her family life, and the trials she faced in a time when the culture was very different. The roles of men and women, the interaction between parents and children, and the economic situation can be unimaginable for us if we don’t try to expose enough details and paint a detailed picture of that era in history.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Les Knight, a young man from Camberwell, Victoria was like many who joined to serve his country during the Second World War. But unlike many others his skill as a Lancaster pilot enabled him to successfully breach the Eder Dam in the now infamous Dambusters Raid. At the age of 22, Les was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and became a national hero. 
  But his war service continued, and four months after the Dambusters Raid, his aircraft was badly damaged. On this occasion, Les’s skill and bravery were again on display as he held the stricken plane steady to allow his seven crewmates to bail out. 
  Then, as he searched for a place to ditch the aircraft, he steered clear of a Dutch village to avoid any civilian injuries. The plane hit the ground hard, cartwheeled, and Les was killed. 
  Five of the seven crew members were able to evade being captured by the Germans and, with the help of underground movements, were returned to England. The other two were captured and detained in POW camps until the war’s end. All seven returned home to continue their lives, marry and have children. Their lives are Les’ legacy. 
  This is the remarkable story of one brave Australian who answered his country’s calling and who demonstrated courage far beyond expectation. His gravestone carries the inscription ‘Let us be Worthy’. The village of Den Ham has never forgotten the bravery of this young Australian pilot. His grave has always been immaculately kept.
