Sinossi

In "Tortoises," D. H. Lawrence embarks on a poignant exploration of nature and existence, steeped in his distinctive lyrical prose. This collection of essays, grounded in Lawrence's keen observations of tortoises, reflects a broader philosophical inquiry into the balance of life, the essence of being, and humanity's often tumultuous relationship with the natural world. The literary style is evocative and personal, showcasing Lawrence's ability to weave deep emotional resonance with a critical examination of human nature, evoking the influence of romanticism and modernism that pervades his work in the early 20th century. D. H. Lawrence was a profoundly introspective writer whose life experiences—marked by a rebellion against industrialization and a profound love for natural beauty—influenced his literary output. Growing up in a mining town, Lawrence developed an acute awareness of the struggle between nature and the mechanization of life, leading to a deepened curiosity about the primal impulses that shape humanity. His affinity for the natural world is evident in his writing, making "Tortoises" a significant inquiry into both corporeal existence and spiritual reflection. Readers are encouraged to delve into "Tortoises" for its rich philosophical insights, exquisite prose, and the harmonious melding of nature and introspection. Lawrence's meditative style not only enriches the narrative but also invites readers to reflect on their own existence, making this work essential for those interested in the intersection of literature, philosophy, and the natural realm.

Vic and Pat’s Erotic Adventures...

Pat Simone, VIC VITALE

"I Cheat With Women Only!" 
Told by Pat Simone, 45 
Despite being married, I sometimes have a strong need to cheat. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I want another man. I don't. I want a lady. Yeah! That's right! I'm bisexual, and I'm proud of it.   
How I became that way doesn't matter. I just know that every now and then, my body tells me it wants the attention of another woman. 
And when that happens, I seek out someone who wants exactly what I want: a real hot lady. The last time it happened, it was with a young woman I met while on a business trip.

When the Moon Fell

Morrison Colladay

When the Moon Fell by Morrison Colladay is a forgotten gem of early science fiction, a haunting and imaginative tale of cosmic catastrophe and human resilience. 
When the moon is torn from its orbit and hurtles toward Earth, the world plunges into chaos. Tidal waves flatten coasts, earthquakes shatter continents, and entire civilizations fall. Amidst the devastation, a lone narrator and his companion Jim survive the initial impact in the remote wilds of Labrador. Traveling by air and foot through a shattered landscape, they encounter both the madness and bravery of a crumbling world. 
From the last flickers of society to the icy reaches of Greenland where the seeds of a new civilization may take root, When the Moon Fell explores the fragile line between despair and hope in the face of unimaginable destruction. 
Narrated with gravitas and heart by Judd Bonham, this speculative classic invites listeners into a vision of the end—and the beginning—of the world as we know it.

Mr Pigsny (Unabridged)

Reggie Oliver

Reggie Oliver is a stage actor and playwright. His biography of Stella Gibbons was praised as "a triumph" by Hilary Spurling in the Daily Telegraph, his play Winner Takes All, was described as "the funniest evening in London", by Michael Billington in The Guardian, and his adaptation of Hennequin and Delacour's Once Bitten opened at the Orange Tree Theatre in London in December 2010.
MR. PIGSNY: It was, I suppose, a typical gangster's funeral. There were the extravagantly insincere floral tributes: TO REG, A DIAMOND GEEZER in white carnations; there was 'My Way' played by the reluctant organist; there was the coffin borne by six burly, blackcoated
thugs into a church which Reg would never have entered in his lifetime except to marry or to bury.
