Sinopse

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grosmont.
This motley crew was assembled for a daring mission: to erect a plaque honouring the legendary Whitby whaler and explorer Captain William Scoresby Senior on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland. The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the plan... unhinged.
A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination, Bea Roberts's play The Whitby Rebels premiered at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 2024, directed by Paul Robinson.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Timeless Tale and Lessons from Ayodhya, is a poetic exploration of the Ayodhya Kanda, the heart-wrenching and profound second book of the Ramayana. Through elegant and emotive verse, this collection captures the deep human emotions, divine sacrifices, and moral dilemmas that unfold in the sacred city of Ayodhya. 
    From Rama’s exile and Sita’s unwavering devotion to Bharat’s anguish, and Dasharatha’s sorrowful end, each poem reflects the spiritual and ethical lessons embedded in this eternal tale. Themes of duty over desire, love beyond loss, and the resilience of righteousness shine through every stanza, offering timeless wisdom for the modern soul. 
    Drawing from the rich tapestry of characters and their inner journeys, the verses speak to the universal truths of life—how one responds to betrayal, how love survives separation, and how righteousness must sometimes walk the path of suffering. The book reflects on the strength of noble choices made in the face of loss, the quiet dignity of sacrifice, and the enduring light of dharma that shines even in the darkest hours. 
    More than a retelling, The Timeless Tale and Lessons from Ayodhya, is a lyrical meditation on the eternal relevance of this ancient epic. It invites readers to walk beside Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Bharat—not just as mythic figures, but as reflections of our own human dilemmas and divine potential. Ideal for lovers of poetry, philosophy, and sacred literature, this collection offers solace, insight, and inspiration in every line.

    Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
     
     
     
    The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.

    From acclaimed poet Franny Choi comes a poetry collection for the ends of worlds—past, present, and future. Choi’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival. 
    Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples. 
    With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi's signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.  
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
