Herland

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

In Herland, Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines a hidden utopia untouched by men for over two thousand years—an all-female society flourishing in peace, cooperation, and innovation. When three curious male explorers—Vandyck Jennings, Terry Nicholson, and Jeff Margrave—stumble upon this mysterious land, their expectations are upended by a civilization that thrives without war, dominance, or patriarchy. 
Blending satire, social commentary, and speculative fiction, Herland critiques early 20th-century gender roles and envisions a radical rethinking of what a just and sustainable society could look like. As the men's values clash with those of Herland’s enlightened inhabitants, the novel challenges listeners to question long-held assumptions about gender, power, motherhood, and human potential. 
This thought-provoking classic remains strikingly relevant today, offering a compelling exploration of feminism, societal design, and the possibility of true equality.

Plagued by hunger and suffering the lingering effects of malaria, Theodore Roosevelt, his son Kermit, and the other members of the now-ravaged Roosevelt-Rondon scientific expedition are traveling deeper and deeper into the jungle. When Kermit and Teddy are kidnapped by a never-before-seen Amazonian tribe, the great hunters are asked one thing in exchange for their freedom: find and kill a beast that leaves no tracks and that no member of the tribe has ever seen. But what are the origins of this beast, and how do they escape its brutal wrath?Roosevelt's Beast is a story of the impossible things that become possible when civilization is miles away, when the mind plays tricks on itself, and when old family secrets refuse to stay buried. With his characteristically rich storytelling and a touch of old-fashioned horror, the bestselling and critically acclaimed Louis Bayard turns the story of the well-known Roosevelt-Rondon expedition on its head and dares to ask: Are the beasts among us more frightening than the beasts within?
