Synopsis

Miss Marjoribanks Margaret Oliphant - Returning home to tend her widowed father Dr Marjoribanks, Lucilla soon launches herself into Carlingford society, aiming to raise the tone with her select Thursday evening parties. Optimistic, resourceful and blithely unimpeded by self-doubt, Lucilla is a superior being in every way, not least in relation to men. 'A tour de force...full of wit, surprises and intrigue...We can imagine Jane Austen reading MISS MARJORIBANKS with enjoyment and approval in the Elysian Fields' - Q. D. Leavis. Leavisdeclared Oliphant's heroine Lucilla to be the missing link in Victorian literature between Jane Austen's Emma and George Eliot's Dorothea Brook and 'more entertaining, more impressive and more likeable than either'.

    19 Years Old – And So Damn cheeky is an explicit, provocative, and deeply sensual audiobook about temptation, lust, and the dangerous thrill of forbidden desire. Told from the perspective of a married man in his late thirties, the story follows how his dull, routine marriage is shaken when a young, self-confident au pair enters his home. 
    What begins as innocent glances and playful smiles quickly spirals into a secret world of fantasies, hidden encounters, and overwhelming lust. The au pair embodies everything he feels he has lost—youth, passion, freedom—and she knows exactly how to play the game. 
    This is not a story about innocence. It is about the hunger for what is forbidden, the lust that blurs boundaries, and the choices that can destroy a family. With explicit language and vivid erotic scenes, 19 Years Old invites adult listeners into a world of seduction, secrecy, and raw desire. 
    A daring and unapologetic work of German erotica, written and narrated by Kris Sinnlich, this audiobook is intended for mature audiences only (18+).

    The mainsail cracked above them in the ferocious wind as a group of red-faced men descended on John. "You have brought a curse on us. Overboard with you," one of the men yelled. A chorus of cheers went up. It was the last sound John heard before he was dumped over the side of the ship and engulfed by the dark, roiling ocean."Thrown overboard, enslaved by the Turks, captured by pirates, rescued by a princess-the story of Englishman John Smith (1580-1631) would seem unbelievable were it fiction. Young John first sought adventure in Europe, traveling as far as Russia and distinguishing himself in the wars that raged across the Old World.But John Smith's real passion was for the New World, and in 1607 he sailed to North America with the men who would establish the first lasting British settlement-Jamestown. There he fought level-headedly for the policies that would enable the fragile community to survive starvation, disease, and deadly attacks to become a foothold in the New World.Heroes of History is a unique biography series that brings the shaping of history to life with the remarkable true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history.The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression. This is a premier biography line for the entire family.
