  The Decameron

  Giovanni Boccaccio

  Set against the shadow of the Black Plague, The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio is a radiant tapestry of love, wit, tragedy, and the triumph of the human spirit. When Florence is ravaged by pestilence, ten young nobles — seven women and three men — flee to a countryside villa to escape the horrors of the city. Over ten days, they pass the time by telling one hundred stories: tales of romance and folly, devotion and deception, virtue and vice. 
  From the poetic tragedy of “Griselda” to the romantic daring of “Cymon and Iphigenia” and the moral allegory of “The Three Rings,” Boccaccio captures the full spectrum of human experience — earthy, wise, and profoundly moving. 
  Narrated with grace and warmth by Mary Ellin Kurtz, this timeless masterpiece invites listeners into a world where storytelling itself becomes an act of survival — and of joy.

  Part 3: Kostya continues working on his estate, a setting closely tied to his spiritual thoughts and struggles. He wrestles with the idea of falseness, wondering how he should go about ridding himself of it, and criticizing what he feels is falseness in others. He develops ideas relating to agriculture, and the unique relationship between the agricultural laborer and his native land and culture.

  "If Fanny Price had been a girl of any spirit, she would have long ago left Mansfield Park."
  
  So begins one of Jane Austen's most profound and often debated novels. Mansfield Park introduces us to Fanny Price, a poor, timid cousin sent to live with her wealthy relatives, the Bertrams, at the grand estate of Mansfield Park. Surrounded by elegance, self-interest, and moral laxity, Fanny remains the novel's steadfast moral compass.
  
  This novel is not simply a Regency romance; it is a meticulous study of English society, class, education, and moral integrity. As the glamorous and charismatic siblings, Henry and Mary Crawford, arrive, they disrupt the quiet life and tempt the Bertram family—and Fanny herself—into compromising positions. Fanny's quiet strength and unwavering commitment to virtue are tested, culminating in her struggle to reconcile her heart with her conscience.
  
  For those who love classic literature and deep social commentary, Mansfield Park offers a richly detailed, intellectually engaging journey into the values and vulnerabilities of early 19th-century England.

  Terror rises from the deep in this gripping maritime horror from the master of early science fiction. 
  When a retired tea-dealer named Mr. Fison takes a casual afternoon walk along the cliffs of Sidmouth, he expects nothing more than sea breeze and sunshine. Instead, he becomes the first living witness to a new species — a swarm of massive, intelligent, and shockingly aggressive cephalopods known as Haploteuthis ferox. What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into a frantic fight for survival as these tentacled predators crawl out of the surf, hunt along the tide pools, and launch deadly attacks on boats, swimmers, and the unprepared towns along the coast. 
  Blending scientific speculation with relentless suspense, H. G. Wells delivers a chilling tale of nature unchecked — a reminder that the ocean still holds secrets powerful enough to swallow humanity whole. With vivid performances by narrator Salathiel Reagan, this classic short story comes alive with atmospheric dread and pulse-pounding tension. 
  Perfect for fans of sea monsters, Victorian horror, and classic speculative fiction.
