  P.G. Wodehouse is at his whimsical best as the characters of Belpher Castle muddle through impending catastrophes and ill-considered love affairs in this comedy of errors.  George Bevan, an American composer of musicals, is in England to attend the performance of one. But when the Lady Patricia Maud Marsh slips into his taxi, he is drawn into the frivolous intrigues of Belpher Castle. Maud has mistaken George for another American she once fell in love with. She is attempting to escape her aunt, Lady Carolyn Byrd, who is trying to marry Maud off to her step-son, Reginald. Meanwhile, her father, Lord John Marshmoreton, has fallen in love with an actress. As the Castle servants make bets on their Lords' and Ladies' capricious attachments, Wodehouse weaves a jaunty satire that will leave readers breathless with its twists and antics.

  'I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.'
  
  One of the most significant novellas of the twentieth century, Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis is a deeply haunting exploration of identity, isolation and the existential shadows that follow the human experience.
  
  Gregor Samsa, a seemingly average salesman and cloth merchant, awakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Trapped inside his new grotesque form, Gregor struggles to hold down his job and maintain his place in the family who become increasingly wary of him, frightful of his new body. Soon Gregor is unable to communicate at all, and becomes fearful he will forget his human side altogether. Darkly surreal and emotionally charged, The Metamorphosis remains a masterpiece of modern literature. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Roger May.
  Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) was an Austrian-Czech novelist, and is regarded as one of the most significant literary figures of the twentieth century. His work often blended realism with the fantastical; 'Kafkaesque' has become a widely used term which describes an absurd situation, much like the events portrayed in his writing.
