  In the shadows of the great Oxford English Dictionary, a quiet revolution is born.
   
  The Dictionary of Lost Words tells the unforgettable story of Esme, a girl raised in a world of words—yet silenced by the very system that defines them. While her father and his colleagues work tirelessly to preserve the English language, Esme discovers a parallel truth: the most powerful words are often the ones left out—spoken by women, the working class, and the unheard.
   
  From whispered lullabies to protest chants and forgotten dialects, Esme collects discarded words, building her own dictionary in defiance of the era’s limitations. As she grows from curious child to determined woman, she begins to understand that language isn’t neutral—it’s shaped by power, history, and exclusion.

  Cup of Gold

  John Steinbeck

  The first novel from American literary great John Steinbeck (Grapes of Wrath) tells the fictionalized story of the illustrious 17th century pirate Captain Henry Morgan  
  Henry Morgan is a young boy growing up in a small town in Wales. One day, a sailor returns to regale Henry with tales of the West Indies, and the glory that awaits those adventuresome enough to go. Henry, dazzled, quickly finds a place aboard a ship heading to the islands, thus setting himself on the path to becoming the brutal and fearsome pirate Captain Morgan.  
  The portrait Steinbeck paints of Morgan (with some artistic license taken) is of a complex, lustful, and largely unhappy man, set in evocative locales that are laced with traces of magical realism. Though Morgan’s life was filled with blood and violence, Steinbeck portrays him as a thoughtful and intelligent commander of men, whose tragic flaw is an unquenchable lust for great accomplishments combined with a misunderstanding of what great accomplishments actually are.  
  Through his cunning he repeatedly attains the ever-grander victories he seeks—but he quickly discovers what so many before and after him have discovered: that achievement is not always as satisfying as the quest to achieve.  
  Publisher's Note: Originally published in 1929, Cup of Gold is a literary work that reflects the time in which it was published—both its good and its ill. The original text contains wording and terminology that represent outdated cultural beliefs regarding race and ethnicity. In the interest of preserving and documenting both the faults and highlights of literary history—an instrumental, crucial function of works entering the public domain—this text is unedited and uncensored in this audiobook recording. Please proceed with discretion.
