    A memoir of a year immersed in nature on a New England farm, by the national bestselling author of The Dog Who Came to Stay. 
 
 
 
After a nearly fatal bout of appendicitis, Hal Borland decided to leave the city behind and move with his wife to a farmhouse in rural Connecticut. Their new home on one hundred acres inspired Borland to return to nature. In this masterpiece of American nature writing, he describes such wonders as the peace of a sky full of stars, the breathless beauty of blossoming plants, the way rain swishes as it hits a river, and the invigorating renewal brought by the changing seasons. The delights of nature as Borland observes them seem boundless, and his sense of awe is contagious.

    The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn

    It all started with a black rose and a rich young man. And a house with a creek running through it. And then there she was, Kip Flynn, standing beside her dead boyfriend and agreeing to take a large sum of money from the young man's father to keep quiet. As if she could have done anything else, she was so scared and grief-stricken and maybe pregnant.
  
   
But that's not the end of it. You see, there's some kind of connection between Kip and this rich developer's son that keeps them tight in one another's orbit. So, when Kip awakens from her grief, intent on revenge, they find themselves pursuing one another with a ferocity they can barely understand, one that spirals outward, with subway accidents and arson and drainpipes and backhoe wars, to envelop roommates, two guilty fathers, a window-washer or two, landlords, family secrets, Vietnamese gangsters, a standup-bass player and an activist tour guide. And even the subterranean heart of Toronto itself, which, like Kip, is torn between vengefulness and growth.

    For eighteen years, Nora Lakheal has been relentlessly tracking down Islamist terrorists. Originally a philosophy student, the boxer from Barbès joined the police force as one would join a religion, but with a taste for action and the unexpected. She soon became the first woman to join the Group for Radical Islamism of SORS, the elite Intelligence Service. 
Neither an exemplary life story, nor the umpteenth diary of a police officer, instead this book is the searing testimony of a woman who chose to risk her life – this is not said lightly - for her convictions and for France. In the image of this extraordinary personality, Elite Agent overturns all clichés and plunges us into the hectic career of an exceptional woman.

"William Butler Yeats: 16 Poems and Analyses" invites listeners into the luminous, mysterious world of one of Ireland’s greatest poets, presented with a fresh sense of intimacy and emotional depth. This audiobook brings together sixteen of Yeats’s most compelling works, each paired with a thoughtful, accessible analysis that illuminates the poem’s themes, symbols, and craft without sacrificing its magic. Whether Yeats is exploring the longing of youth, the ache of unfulfilled desire, or the turning of history’s wheel, his voice resonates with a timeless beauty that continues to move readers more than a century later. 
Each poem is accompanied by an original piano underscore, composed and adapted by A. M. Bly to reflect the unique emotional atmosphere of Yeats’s verse. These musical settings do not overpower the poetry; instead, they enhance its rhythms and imagery, offering listeners a deeper, more immersive experience. From gentle, wistful harmonies to bold, dramatic motifs, the music enriches the language and invites the listener to feel each poem as Yeats might have intended: alive, mysterious, and resonant with inner music. 
Narrated by the expressive and natural-sounding AI voice Willow, this collection balances clarity with warmth, guiding listeners through Yeats’s shifting landscapes of myth, memory, love, and dream. Willow’s narration brings a steadiness and emotional sensitivity to each piece, helping the nuances of the poetry—and the insights that follow—to unfold with ease. 
Ideal for longtime admirers of Yeats and newcomers alike, this audiobook offers not only a rich appreciation of the poems themselves but also a set of interpretations that deepen understanding and spark reflection. William Butler Yeats: 16 Poems and Analyses is an evocative blend of literature, insight, and music—an invitation to revisit, re-hear, and rediscover a master poet’s enduring work.
