  The Voice in the Desert

  Valerio Di Stefano

  The voice in the desert, beyond a skillfully written novel, is also a series of notes masterfully expressed by the amazing pen of Valerio di Stefano. Valerio, already author of several books, all of literary and philanthropic inspiration, is also a philologist, skill perfectly shown in this work. A work that is capable of completely immersing us in the illusory and, at times, oniric universe of Don Fiorentino. This Don is a parish priest of an unknown village who has a great passion: the classics of Italian and foreign literature. The incredible strength of this novel is the alternation of letters that the protagonist forwards to his favorite authors, almost as if he wanted to teach them how to write and to express themselves, by praising some techniques and harshly criticizing others. 
  Valerio's writing is driving, it leads you page after page to discover biblical notes and quotes, always with the clear awareness of broadening your own cultural baggage which, compared to his, appears meager and eternally empty.

  The Death of the Heart

  'Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no one needed to tell you it existed. But you could not lay your finger on it.'
  
  A poignant coming-of-age tale set in pre-war London, The Death of the Heart is often classed as one of the best modern novels of all time.
  
  First published in 1938, The Death of the Heart follows the story of sixteen-year-old orphan, Portia Quayne, who moves to London to live with her cold and emotionally repressed half-brother, Thomas, and his wife. Somewhat naïve and pining for love, Portia soon becomes infatuated with the charming yet shallow Eddie, a friend of her sister-in-law's. Devastatingly, Portia's illusions about love and family begin to disintegrate when her trust is shattered by Eddie's manipulation and her brother's indifference. Portia's inner world – one which used to be characterised by vulnerability, longing and optimism – becomes jaded by her environment's emotional hypocrisy. Elegant, layered and brimming with emotional insight, Bowen's novel is a masterful study of the loss of innocence. This audiobook edition is skilfully narrated by Lucy Scott.
  Elizabeth Bowen (1899 – 1973) was an English-Irish novelist, essayist and short story writer. Much of her work bridges the modernist and postmodernist eras, and centres on life during the war in London. Today she remains a major figure in twentieth century literature.

  Description: 
  Who Knows? is a chilling psychological tale by Guy de Maupassant, the French master of realism and the uncanny. First published in 1890, this disturbing short story explores the fragile boundary between reason and madness in a world that may not be as stable—or as controllable—as we believe. 
  The story follows a cultivated and rational gentleman living alone in a quiet country house. His life is orderly, peaceful, and governed by logic—until one night he witnesses something impossible. Without warning or explanation, the furniture in his home begins to move on its own. Chairs slide across the floor, objects vanish, and his possessions seem animated by an unseen will. What begins as bewilderment slowly curdles into dread. 
  As the phenomenon escalates, the narrator struggles to maintain his sanity. Is he the victim of an elaborate trick? A descent into madness? Or has he glimpsed a hidden reality in which inanimate objects possess their own mysterious existence? Maupassant masterfully sustains ambiguity, leaving both narrator and reader trapped in uncertainty. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the mounting paranoia, subtle irony, and creeping existential dread that make Who Knows? a timeless study in quiet horror—where the greatest fear lies not in what is seen, but in what cannot be explained.
