Synopsis

Set sail for the South Seas in Jack London's tender and tragic island tales.

On the Makaloa Mat is a unique and deeply emotional collection of short stories set in Hawaii, revealing a different side of Jack London—introspective, lyrical, and human. Through a series of loosely connected vignettes, London captures the cultural richness, heartbreak, and resilience of native Hawaiians and Westerners during a time of change.

Written during the final years of his life, these stories depart from London's usual rugged adventures to explore love, betrayal, aging, memory, and dignity—woven into the natural beauty and spiritual rhythm of the islands.

🌴 This edition includes:

The complete, unabridged short story cycle

Lush illustrations evoking early 20th-century Hawaii

Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading

📚 A rare literary gem from a legendary author—perfect for lovers of short fiction and cultural storytelling.

Discover the human heart on the shores of Hawaii.

    Step into the sharp and satirical mind of Ambrose Bierce with Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults — a witty, incisive guide to the art of clear and correct writing. 
    First published in 1909, this compact yet powerful manual exposes the most common blunders of language and style, offering Bierce’s signature blend of precision, humor, and biting critique. From misused words and illogical phrases to lazy constructions and pompous diction, Bierce spares no one in his mission to defend the integrity of English prose. 
    Narrated by Donavan Price, this audiobook captures the acerbic wit and intellectual rigor that made Bierce one of America’s great literary critics. Write It Right remains as relevant — and as entertaining — as ever, a must-listen for writers, editors, and lovers of language who believe that words, used well, truly matter.

    "It is quite possible that the time will come when literary historians, discussing works created in English in the twentieth century, will only briefly dwell on the works of serious writers, and all attention will be focused on the extensive and diverse staging of detective stories.. And then they will have to answer first, which explains the unheard-of popularity of this genre." This, perhaps contradictory, but remarkable statement belongs to the critic of detective fiction, the famous English writer William Somerset Maugham.What could be more exciting and interesting than a well-written detective story?The audiobook is read by American actor Brent Bradley in English.
