  "Aesop's Fables have been cherished for generations, imparting timeless wisdom through delightful animal tales. Let me share a couple of these fables with you:    The Tortoise and the Hare:  In this classic fable, a speedy hare challenges a slow-moving tortoise to a race. Overconfident, the hare takes a nap during the race, while the persistent tortoise keeps plodding along. To everyone's surprise, the tortoise wins the race, teaching us that steady effort often triumphs over reckless speed.  The Boy Who Cried Wolf:  A young shepherd boy amuses himself by falsely shouting, "Wolf!" to trick the villagers. When a real wolf appears and threatens the sheep, the boy cries for help, but the villagers no longer believe him. The moral? Honesty and integrity matter, and false alarms erode trust.  Remember, these fables hold valuable lessons that resonate across cultures and time."

  Narrated by six-time Tony Award-winning actress Audra McDonald, Jean Toomer’s revolutionary masterpiece Cane is exemplary of the era we now know as the Harlem Renaissance, and has come to be considered one of the classic works of American literary modernism. A boldly experimental “novel” mixing prose, poetry, and dramatic sketches, the book’s hallmark is its formal sophistication; sexuality, racism, and industrialization are among its major themes. Above all else it offers unforgettably evocative portraits of the African American lives Toomer encountered in rural Georgia, by turns down-to-earth, heartfelt, hauntingly lyrical.

  What if the brightest charm hid the darkest truths beneath it? In “Je ne Parle pas Français” by Katherine Mansfield, you step into the mind of Raoul Duquette, a cynical Parisian narrator whose sharp observations, moral contradictions, and unsettling humor reveal far more about himself than about the people he judges. When he encounters a young Englishman searching for inspiration and romance in Paris, Raoul’s story takes a darker, more introspective turn - blurring the line between fascination, manipulation, and self-deception. Mansfield’s writing delivers an intimate psychological portrait that is as subtle as it is incisive, exploring the shadows beneath elegance, charm, and human desire. With her signature precision, she captures the complexity of relationships, the sting of loneliness, and the illusions we cling to in order to survive. Press play and experience one of Katherine Mansfield’s most haunting and unforgettable narratives - where every word reveals a hidden truth.
