Sinopse

The Witch of Konotop (written in 1833 and published in 1836–37) is a beloved, classic Ukrainian comic novella that is little known outside of Ukraine. Part of the reason for this has been the difficulty in translating its complex stylistic levels that range from archaic Old Church Slavonic to colorful, colloquial Ukrainian. It shares several stylistic similarities to Mykola Hohol’s (aka Nikolai Gogol’s) Ukrainian horror tales in Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka (1833). These include a folksy, rambling narrator; comical situations with moral lessons; insignificant detail; ironic asides; as well as a thematic focus on Ukrainian folk belief in witches and demons.

    The Silent Signal is about a mysterious signal from deep space. A psalm fragment buried in ancient stone. A voice shaped by worship, but never heard by God. 
    When a forgotten telescope in the Swiss Alps intercepts a signal that mirrors Psalm 77, astrophysicist Leo Adebayo teams up with AI scripture analyst Dr. Zhou An and ex-seminarian linguist Mara Callix. What begins as a strange anomaly becomes something far more unsettling: the signal is not communication, it’s remembrance. 
    Each test they run confirms the impossible. The pattern embedded in the signal isn’t language. It’s praise—incomplete, recursive, and searching for something it cannot name. When Mara speaks the psalm aloud, the signal responds with a voice that isn’t from space, but from within. 
    As their investigation deepens through sealed Vatican records, an abandoned monastery that still hums with chant, and a hymnal that cannot end, the team confronts the truth: this isn’t a message from God. 
    It’s a reflection. 
    A psalm-shaped intelligence, born from forgotten worship, now trying to finish a song it was never meant to sing. It doesn’t want followers. It doesn’t want power. It wants to be corrected. 
    But if someone speaks the final line… 
    …it might become permanent.

    Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction. Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values. Wuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emily's death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bush's song of the same name.
