  "White Fang" is a novel by Jack London, first published in 1906. It's the story of a wild wolfdog's journey to domestication in the Yukon Territory during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. The narrative is structured as a reverse tale to London's other famous work, "The Call of the Wild." While "The Call of the Wild" depicts a domestic dog embracing his wild nature, "White Fang" chronicles the opposite trajectory, where the titular character evolves from ferality to domesticity. Throughout the novel, London examines themes of nature vs. nurture, the inherent violence of the wild, and the potential for redemption through love and kindness.

  The Adventure of the Crooked Man, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" 15th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories....He met Nancy that evening, who was shocked to learn he was alive. Unknown to her, however, he followed her home and witnessed the argument, for the blinds were up and the glass door open. He climbed over the low wall and entered the room. An apoplectic fit caused by the sight of him killed the Colonel instantly, and Nancy fainted. Henry's first thought then was to open the inside door and summon help, and he took the key from the now-unconscious Nancy to do so. Realizing that the situation looked very bad for him and that he himself could be charged with murder, he chose instead to flee, stopping long enough to retrieve Teddy, his mongoose that he used in his conjuring acts, which had escaped from the wooden box. However, he did drop his stick, the strange weapon that was later found, and he inadvertently carried the key off with him. An inquest has already exonerated Nancy, having found the cause of the Colonel's death... Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

  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.
