  Since my childhood, one question used to haunt me again and again. What is next after death? Does demise mean an unperturbed and relaxed slumber? There will be no urgency to wake up one day. Does death mean the failure of heart? And then there will be no feelings at all.
   
  What will the soul do after death? Will the soul get reunited with the great soul or
   
  paramatma or will it wander around as a ghost? Will there be salvation or will there be new rebirth?

  Isokon and the Bauhaus in Britain

  In the mid-1930s, three giants of the international Modern movement, Bauhaus professors Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and László Moholy-Nagy, fled Nazi Germany and sought refuge in Hampstead in the most exciting new apartment block in Britain. The Lawn Road Flats, or Isokon building, was commissioned by the young visionary couple Jack and Molly Pritchard and designed by aspiring architect Wells Coates. Built in 1934 in response to the question 'How do we want to live now?' it was England's first modernist apartment building and was hugely influential in pioneering the concept of minimal living. During the mid-1930s and 1940s its flats, bar and dining club became an extraordinary creative nexus for international artists, writers and thinkers. Jack Pritchard employed Gropius, Breuer and Moholy-Nagy in his newly formed Isokon design company and the furniture, architecture and graphic art the three produced in pre-war England helped shape Modern Britain.
  This book tells the story of the Isokon, from its beginnings to the present day, and fully examines the work, artistic networks and legacy of the Bauhaus artists during their time in Britain. The tales are not just of design and architecture but war, sex, death, espionage and infamous dinner parties. Isokon resident Agatha Christie features in the book, as does Charlotte Perriand who Jack Pritchard commissioned for a pavilion design in 1930.
  The book is beautifully illustrated with largely unseen archive photography, and includes the work of photographer and Soviet spy Edith Tudor-Hart, as well as plans and sketches, menus, postcards and letters from the Pritchard family archive. In Spring 2018, the Isokon building and Breuer, Gropius and Moholy-Nagy were honoured with a Blue Plaque from English Heritage.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The Earth-Child in the Grass and Other Poems presents twenty of Katherine Mansfield’s most luminous and intimate poems in a carefully crafted audio edition that honors both their lyric delicacy and emotional depth. Written with Mansfield’s characteristic sensitivity to childhood, memory, solitude, and fleeting moments of perception, these poems reveal a lesser-known but deeply resonant side of one of modernism’s most beloved writers. 
  This collection includes A Little Girl’s Prayer, The Lonesome Child, Very Early Spring, When I Was a Bird, The Quarrel, The Earth-Child in the Grass, and fourteen other poems that trace the inner landscapes of innocence, longing, and quiet wonder. Mansfield’s poetic voice—simple on the surface, profound beneath—comes alive through attentive narration and thoughtful interpretation. 
  Each poem is accompanied by an original spoken analysis, offering insight into Mansfield’s imagery, themes, and emotional nuance, while preserving the subtlety of her art. The poems are narrated by AI Voice Willow, whose clear, gentle delivery reflects the intimacy and restraint of Mansfield’s verse. The project is directed by A. M. Bly, who also composed and performed the original piano underscore for each poem. The music does not intrude but moves alongside the poetry, enhancing mood and atmosphere with restraint and grace. 
  Designed for listeners who cherish literary depth and reflective listening, this audiobook offers a contemplative experience in which poetry, analysis, and music are woven into a unified whole—an invitation to listen closely, linger, and rediscover the quiet power of Katherine Mansfield’s poetry.
