Sinopsis

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately..."

In 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved into a small cabin he built himself on the shores of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. His goal was simple: to strip away the "superfluities" of modern life and discover what is essential. Walden is the extraordinary record of those two years, two months, and two days. Part memoir, part philosophical treatise, and part natural history, it serves as a powerful call to awaken from the "quiet desperation" of a consumer-driven society and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.

The Economy of the Soul: Thoreau begins his journey with a radical audit of human needs. He meticulously tracks his expenses—down to the last cent spent on beans and nails—to prove that true freedom comes not from wealth, but from the reduction of one's requirements. By minimizing labor, he maximizes his "leisure" for thinking, reading, and observing the changing seasons.

A Blueprint for Modern Mindfuless: Though written over 170 years ago, Walden's critique of a life spent working just to pay for "modern improvements" resonates more than ever. Thoreau's insights on the value of solitude, the beauty of the wild, and the necessity of individual conscience have inspired generations of environmentalists, social reformers, and seekers of a simpler path.

Helen de Guerry Simpson was born in Sydney, Australia on the 1st December 1897.  As a 17 year old she was sent to France and then on to Oxford, England to complete her education.  Whilst there she founded the Oxford Women's Dramatic Society.  She was sent down in 1921 apparently for breaking regulations prohibiting men and women students from acting together. 
 
Her early work of poems, plays, a novel and a collection of short stories found little commercial success. It was only with ‘Boomerang’ in 1932 that her success was established.  Helen continued to write across the genres and by now had become intensely interested in politics.  She was selected to run by the Liberals for the Isle of Wight parliamentary seat in the expected General Election of 39 or 40. 
 
Sadly this coincided with the rapid onset of cancer and her health very quickly deteriorated.   
 
Helen Simpson died in Worcestershire, England on the 14th October 1940.  She was 42. 
 
In ‘Young Magic’ a young girl has definite supernatural abilities which she attempts to control.  Years later when she returns home and begins a relationship those abilities begin to reappear in a more sinister form.

'I had rather die in the adventure of noble achievements, than live in obscure and sluggish security.'

Part romance, part adventure story, The Blazing World is a seventeenth century classic, and a prime example of proto-science fiction.

Often considered an early feminist work, Cavendish compellingly chronicles how a young Lady became a powerful empress of a fantastical parallel kingdom. Captured by a lustful merchant in the hope of marrying the young woman, we first find our protagonist travelling towards the North Pole, unsure of her future. But soon the merchant and his crew freeze to death, allowing the young Lady to escape and discover a pole to an alternative land: the Blazing World. Here, the laws of science and nature are upturned: peculiar hybrid creatures – with animal bodies but minds like humans – inhabit the kingdom. Believed to be a goddess by the Emperor of Paradise city, the young woman soon becomes betrothed to the leader of the strange land, and is able to rule and govern the world as she pleases. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Karen Cass.
Margaret Cavendish (1632 – 1673), Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was a successful poet, playwright, scientist and philosopher. She was one of the first women of her time to publish extensively under her own name, and used her work to explore topics such as gender, marriage and courtship.

The classic American novel of a philandering, murderous preacher from the national bestselling author of God’s Little Acre.    When preacher Semon Dye moves into the tiny Georgia town of Rocky Comfort, many of its citizens welcome him. After all, the only church in town is being used to store fertilizer. But sermons aren’t the first thing on the mind of the tall, magnetic, and utterly dissolute man. Other callings take priority: women, whiskey, gambling, and hiding from the law. Even as he seduces wives, cheats at cards, and provokes old feuds, Dye manages to cast a dark spell over all the people in Rocky Comfort.   Journeyman is a wicked send-up of religious fervor by an American master of dark political satire. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.
