Sinopsis

In "The Third Circle," Frank Norris delves into the complexities of human desire, ambition, and the darker side of the American dream. Set against the backdrop of San Francisco's burgeoning capitalist landscape at the turn of the 20th century, the novel employs a naturalistic literary style, interweaving vivid imagery and psychological depth to illustrate the struggles of its characters as they navigate the insidious influences of wealth and social status. Norris's exploration of fate, morality, and existential despair suggests a scathing critique of society's relentless pursuit of material gain, offering readers a profound reflection on the cost of ambition and the intricacies of human relationships. Frank Norris, a pivotal figure in American literary naturalism, drew inspiration from his own experiences with the harsh realities of life and socio-economic disparities. Born in 1870, his background in journalism and his keen observations of society fueled his literary voice. Norris was determined to reveal the underlying forces that drive human behavior, which is poignantly reflected in "The Third Circle," where his characters are often caught in a struggle between their aspirations and the societal pressures that dictate their choices. Readers seeking a thought-provoking examination of the human condition will find "The Third Circle" to be an illuminating and essential read. Norris's masterful storytelling and incisive commentary on the nature of desire and societal expectation challenge readers to consider their own values and the impact of ambition in their lives. This novel is not only a testament to Norris's literary prowess but also a timeless exploration of the cost of dreams.

    He’s arrogant and handsome… But is he a spy? 
    Miss Caroline Barnes is shocked to discover she has a secret family she’s never met! Aristocratic Mr Hartwell tells her of her cousin’s lonely plight, and Caroline reluctantly agrees to visit Julia at the gothic sounding Canons Grange. 
    Her stay in the English countryside is more intriguing than she expected, with smugglers, secrets, and the dashing but mysterious Mr Bell, as well as delightful walks and a faithful if naughty dog!

    Could the man who, for all his sarcastic ways, she’s coming to admire and even love be a traitor working for the enemy? Who should Caroline trust? 
    With spies, the Napoleonic war, and warring siblings, The Country Cousins is a standalone romance featuring cameos of beloved characters, human and animal, from The Country Gentleman. A sweet and clean romance perfect for fans of charmingly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews.

    Published posthumously in December 1817, Persuasion was Jane Austen's final completed work before her death in July 1817.  It has delighted readers ever since. It is a historical romance, which delves into themes of love, social class, and individual agency. It revolves around the life of Anne Elliot who was persuaded when she was 19 years old, to break off her engagement with Frederick Wentworth, a promising, though relatively poor young lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  
    Lonely and unloved by her father and older sister, and considered of little consequence by her married sister Mary, Anne leads a dull life. However, after the naval war ends, Frederick Wentworth returns to England having earned prestige and fortune. Seven years have now passed. But has Anne gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her own future? And do her ties to Captain Wentworth remain unbroken? 
    In this delightful audiobook, all 24 chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins. Her bright and energetic performance expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
    This is the fourth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection. 
    Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
    Soundtrack written and produced by Jean Miles Carter.
