Beschreibung

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is Emily Brontë’s only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846, Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym “Ellis Bell”; Brontë died the following year, aged 30. Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily’s death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarised; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality.

    Description: 
    In Part Eleven of At the Mountains of Madness, terror reaches its most immediate and overwhelming form as Dyer and Danforth come face to face with the full, unthinkable reality of the ancient city. What had been pieced together through murals and inference now manifests in a way that defies both reason and endurance. 
    The vast corridors and alien structures become a maze of dread, where every turn threatens revelation—or worse. The explorers’ fragile composure begins to fracture under the strain, as the true nature of the forces within the city emerges with horrifying clarity. 
    No longer observers, but participants in a nightmare beyond human comprehension, they are driven by a single, desperate impulse: escape. Yet even flight offers no assurance of safety, for what they have seen—and what may have seen them—cannot be easily left behind. 
    In this eleventh installment of the 12-part complete audiobook series, Lovecraft unleashes the culmination of mounting suspense, plunging the narrative into raw cosmic horror as the explorers confront a truth that threatens to shatter both mind and reality itself.

    A well-to-do professor working in Moscow strikes up an unlikely friendship with a stray dog and attempts a scientific first by transplanting the testicles and pituitary gland of a recently deceased man into the dog.
    
    With a wild, but alarmingly human animal on the loose, the professor's previously respectable life becomes a nightmare beyond his imagination. A suberp satirical novel, it is also a sharp and pointed criticism of Soviet society, especially the new rich that arose after the Bolshevik revolution.
