Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural. Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination. As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities. Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.Ver livro
Not a story in the usual sense, but a quiet challenge to the way you live, ‘Walden’ by Henry David Thoreau is drawn from his experiment in solitude on the edge of Walden Pond. Stripping life down to its essentials, Thoreau reflects on self-reliance, nature, time, and the cost of modern living with a voice that is calm, direct, and often quietly defiant. What he discovers is not isolation, but clarity. This is a book of ideas, observations, and moments, some simple, some piercing, that stay with you long after they are heard. As an audiobook, ‘Walden’ unfolds like a personal conversation: unhurried, thoughtful, and deeply human, offering not escape, but perspective.Ver livro
Banned Books – The Yellow Wallpaper + Symposium brings together two landmark works that challenged the cultural, moral, and intellectual boundaries of their eras. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper and Plato’s Symposium each faced suppression, criticism, or restricted circulation for daring to explore themes society was not ready to confront — from mental health and gender oppression to sexuality, philosophy, and the nature of love. In The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman delivers a chilling psychological portrait of a woman confined under the oppressive “rest cure,” exposing the dangers of medical paternalism and the silencing of women’s voices. Its unsettling depiction of mental deterioration and its bold feminist critique led to challenges in schools and discomfort among early readers who deemed it too disturbing or inappropriate. In Symposium, Plato examines the meaning of love through a series of philosophical speeches, openly discussing same‑sex relationships, desire, and the pursuit of beauty. Throughout history, the text faced condemnation from religious authorities, restricted access in academic institutions, and modern challenges for its candid treatment of sexuality and its questioning of moral norms. This edition also includes two classic bonus mystery stories, adding depth and variety to the collection:Ver livro

During the dread reign of the Cholera in New York, I had accepted the invitation of a relative to spend a fortnight with him in the retirement of his cottage orné on the banks of the Hudson. We had here around us all the ordinary means of summer amusement; and what with rambling in the woods, sketching, boating, fishing, bathing, music and books, we should have passed the time pleasantly enough, but for the fearful intelligence which reached us every morning from the populous city.Ver livro
