  An orphaned outcast, an unforgiving world, and a rogue's perilous quest for fortune and revenge. 
  Born to a wealthy family but immediately disinherited by a cruel, tyrannical grandfather, young Roderick Random is thrust into a world that wants nothing to do with him. Left penniless and vulnerable, he relies on his sharp wit, a fiery temper, and the occasional help of eccentric allies—like his fiercely loyal, cutlass-wielding sailor uncle, Tom Bowling. From surviving abusive schoolmasters and treacherous relatives to facing down murderous highwaymen on the muddy roads to London, Roderick's life is a constant, gripping battle for survival. 
  As he travels through the treacherous underbelly of 18th-century Britain, Roderick encounters a colorful cast of grifters, hypocrites, and swindlers. He must adapt quickly, learning the arts of medicine, deception, and resilience. But with no fortune to his name and danger lurking at every tavern and crossroads, will his relentless drive be enough to conquer a society designed to crush him? 
  Why you will love this: If you enjoy the episodic thrills of a classic Picaresque Novel, this foundational masterpiece is essential listening. Brimming with sharp social satire, dark humor, and unpredictable roguish adventures, the story offers an unflinching look at human nature, greed, and survival, firmly cementing its place as a cornerstone of British classic fiction. 
  About the Author: T. Smollett (Tobias Smollett) was an 18th-century Scottish author and surgeon whose experiences in the Royal Navy heavily influenced his gritty, realistic writing. He is celebrated for pioneering the English literary style of rogue adventure, inspiring future literary giants like Charles Dickens with his biting wit and unforgettable caricatures.

  We're jumping tomorrow

  Written for boys who like to eat other people's sorrows, or not eat at all, and for girls who love them regardless. 
  Nick and Mark are 20-something nihilists with nothing but Thursday evenings, a mattress, and the weight of their own thoughts. In one final attempt to find meaning, they give themselves a week to search. If they fail, they jump. 
  We’re Jumping Tomorrow is an intimate, hauntingly poetic novella designed to be read in one sitting, like stumbling upon a stranger’s tragic story online, finding empathy for them, and then scrolling away. Combining sharp cynicism with raw, visual prose, it captures the fleeting yet profound nature of human connection, mental illness, and the quiet desperation of young adulthood. 
  Never quite meant for the public eye, We’re Jumping Tomorrow holds enough importance to be released anyway. Though darkness and pessimism spread throughout its pages, an unshakable sense of humor and self-deprecation stand firm, reflecting this generation’s ability to face even the most gruesome thoughts with a grin.
