  A satirical view of the suffragette movement and an unblinking yet compassionate story that chronicles the impact of the First World War on an ordinary young couple, William – an Englishman by Cicely Hamilton won the first Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse prize in 1919.Written in a hospital tent to the sound of gunfire and shells falling, Cicely Hamilton drew on her experiences working in France during WW1 to tell the story of William Tully and his new bride Griselda, who are wrenched away from their all-consuming interests – socialism and votes for women – and plunged into the almost dream-like horror of war. As brutal tragedy strikes, their attitude to both pacifism and patriotism is altered and their lives are changed forever.William - An Englishman is part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, a series of forgotten classics that includes neglected fiction and non-fiction by women writers. First published in 1919, this edition includes a preface by writer and MD of Persephone Books, Nicola Beauman.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if beauty could remain untouched while the soul beneath it decayed in secret? 
   
  In *The Picture of Dorian Gray*, Oscar Wilde creates one of the most seductive and unsettling novels of the nineteenth century: a Gothic masterpiece of art, vanity, corruption, desire, and moral terror. First published in 1890, and later revised in 1891, Wilde’s only novel stands at the crossroads of decadent literature, aesthetic philosophy, and supernatural horror. 
   
  Young, beautiful, and impressionable, Dorian Gray becomes the subject of a portrait by the painter Basil Hallward. Under the influence of the brilliant and dangerous Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian wishes that the painting might bear the marks of age and sin while he himself remains forever young. As pleasure, cruelty, and secrecy reshape his life, the portrait becomes a silent witness to everything he refuses to see. 
   
  Wilde’s novel scandalized Victorian readers with its moral ambiguity, its worship of beauty, and its dangerous question: can art be separated from conscience? More than a century later, it remains one of the defining classics of Gothic fiction and aesthetic thought, still fascinating listeners with its wit, darkness, and psychological elegance. 
   
  This AI-narrated audiobook offers a clear, polished, and immersive listening experience, allowing Wilde’s glittering dialogue, decadent atmosphere, philosophical irony, and creeping horror to unfold with precision and style. 
   
  Enter the locked room, look upon the portrait, and discover the price of eternal youth. Begin listening to *The Picture of Dorian Gray* today.
