Summary

Frances Burney's "The Collected Works of Fanny Burney" showcases the transformative power of her literary voice in the 18th century. This comprehensive compilation presents her novels, plays, and journals, reflecting a profound exploration of women's societal roles, identity, and emotional depth through a combination of satirical wit and poignant introspection. Burney's epistolary style and vivid characterization place her within the rich context of the period'Äôs burgeoning novelistic form, marking her as a precursor to later feminist discourse while navigating the complexities of her time with remarkable grace and candor. Born in 1752 to a prominent literary family, Frances Burney was deeply influenced by her parents' intellectual pursuits and the cultural milieu of the Enlightenment. Her own experiences as a lady-in-waiting at the court of Queen Charlotte ignited her awareness of social hierarchies and gender dynamics, informing her narrative themes. As an astute observer of both societal manners and psychological intricacies, Burney's works often reflect the limitations imposed on women, making her a pioneer feminist voice in literature. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Collected Works of Fanny Burney" for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of 18th-century society and the role of women within it. This collection not only immortalizes Burney'Äôs literary contributions but also invites modern readers to reconsider the timeless themes of agency and identity, ensuring her relevance in today'Äôs literary conversations.

    A fully immersive audiobook featuring original music and sound effects, “You and Me” is a laugh-out-loud compilation of travel stories written and narrated by husband and wife creatives, Michael S. Ryan and Kristen Herrington. From the textured rainforest of Costa Rica to the streets of Bangkok, this book is about the journey of falling in love, at times beautifully evocative and at others wildly amusing. The authors give tips for wary travellers, and show quite definitely how wandering down the street following your nose is better than following the guidebook every time. Ryan and Herrington are true adventurers unafraid of diving right into the spontaneity of the moment. They don their back packs to hike a volcano in flip-flops, sprint through airports, encounter foreign drug dealers and take you places you’ve never imagined. This book is a perfect fit for readers who want to learn the art of people-watching and get out of resorts and into the busy marketplace. It is a gem for anyone planning their first trip overseas or simply wanting to escape into the myriad of destinations without leaving their armchair.

    Cute, little college freshman Stacey Moreau sure picked the wrong class in which to grow lax in her studies. Her anatomy professor Bruce Dickerson has grown so incensed with her poor grades that he has no choice but to teach her a lesson.
     
    Not that the other students are doing much better. So, using his creative and dirty mind, he conjures up a plan that will hopefully set Stacey on the right track and teach her classmates to heighten their interest in human anatomy.
     
    And, that will require Stacey to, ahem, get completely undressed…for starters.
     
    Meanwhile, Shane Gray, the young man sitting behind her, is growing very interested in human anatomy—namely Stacey’s. So, when members of the class are invited to the front of the classroom to explore Stacey’s shivering, naked, and well-positioned body more closely, he takes full advantage of the situation—and her.
     
    Ah, it’s all so gratifying—and arousing. But if Shane thinks that feeling Stacey up every which way is to be the extent of his arousal, he’s got another thing coming! Professor Dickerson, it would appear, would also like to use Stacey, and a partner, to demonstrate the act of sexual intercourse to the class. And if she finds this all too unnerving and humiliating, oh well!
     
    Now then…any volunteers?
     
    Fans of ENF erotica featuring a shy, shivering, and profoundly humiliated college sweetie called upon to display every one of her female charms to her entire class—this one is for you! Get your copy today and discover one of the more creative ways to inspire interest in an otherwise dreary subject!
     
    Innocence and embarrassment to the hilt!
