  War and Peace

  War and Peace is a literary work by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the work mixes fictional narrative with chapters discussing history and philosophy. First published serially beginning in 1865, the work was rewritten and published in its entirety in 1869. It is regarded as Tolstoy's finest literary achievement and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature.
  The work chronicles the Napoleonic era within Russia, notably detailing the French invasion of Russia and its aftermath. The book highlights the impact of Napoleon on Tsarist society through five interlocking narratives following different Russian aristocratic families. Portions of an earlier version, titled The Year 1805, were serialized in The Russian Messenger from 1865 to 1867 before the novel was published in its entirety in 1869.
  Tolstoy said that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to classify War and Peace, saying it is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle". Large sections, especially the later chapters, are philosophical discussions rather than narrative. He regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel.

  Title: The Black Cat 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1843 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 12 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe is a dark tale of guilt, madness, and the supernatural. First published in 1843 in The Saturday Evening Post, it tells the story of a man whose descent into alcoholism and cruelty leads to shocking acts of violence, culminating in a horrifying confrontation with a seemingly malevolent feline. 
  Told through the first-person perspective of the increasingly unreliable narrator, the story explores themes of conscience, obsession, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked human depravity. Poe’s mastery of psychological horror and gothic atmosphere makes this a timeless classic. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, brings to life the creeping tension, psychological dread, and macabre details that define Poe’s work. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Listeners should be prepared for a disturbing meditation on guilt, horror, and the dark impulses that lurk within the human psyche.

  In the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, a lone wolf-dog named White Fang must navigate the brutal laws of nature and the complexities of human society. Born in the wild and shaped by both savage survival and cruel treatment, White Fang learns the harsh realities of life, adapting to each challenge with intelligence and resilience. As he moves between brutal masters and kind-hearted guardians, his journey unfolds as an exploration of the thin line between savagery and civilization. Jack London’s White Fang is a gripping adventure that delves deep into the primal instincts of animals and humans alike, offering a timeless meditation on survival, loyalty, and the power of compassion. 
  This classic novel, first published in 1906, remains one of London’s most celebrated works, complementing The Call of the Wild with its reverse narrative—where a wild creature is gradually domesticated rather than a domesticated one returning to the wild. White Fang is an unforgettable tale of endurance, transformation, and the enduring bond between humans and animals.
