  1984

  It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.
  
  The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features.
  
  Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move.
  
  BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.

  Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
  Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves: Matthew was having a bad ten minutes of it. He had come into the kitchen, in the twilight of a cold, grey December evening, and had sat down in the wood-box corner to take off his heavy boots, unconscious of the fact that Anne and a bevy of her schoolmates were having a practice of "The Fairy Queen" in the sitting-room.

  The Mysterious Stranger and...

  Mark Twain

  Step into a world where innocence meets the infinite, and the everyday collides with the supernatural. The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories represents Mark Twain at his most philosophical, daring, and haunting. Far removed from his lighthearted tales of riverboats and boyhood adventures, Twain here explores the mysteries of existence, morality, and the fragile nature of human belief. 
  Set in a secluded medieval Austrian village, the title story follows young Theodor Fischer and his friends as they encounter a mysterious visitor—an ethereal being calling himself “Satan.” What begins as childlike fascination soon spirals into a confrontation with unsettling truths about humanity, faith, suffering, and the illusions that bind us. 
  Alongside this profound tale, Twain’s accompanying stories further probe the absurdity, beauty, and cruelty of the world, blending satire, spirituality, and dark humor in only the way Twain can. 
  Narrated with thoughtful depth by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook invites listeners into a quiet, eerie, and unforgettable meditation on what it means to be human—seen through Twain’s final and most provocative lens. 
  Prepare for a journey that is mesmerizing, unsettling, and impossible to shake.
