The Letters & Journals of Lord...

Mr Punch

Step aboard the HMS History and set sail on an epic voyage with "The Letters & Journals of Lord Nelson,” brought to life by the incomparable Charles Dance.

Discover the remarkable life of Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), the legendary "Hero" of his time. As a daring commander and strategic genius, Nelson's legacy is woven into the fabric of British naval history. From his triumph at the Battle of Cape St Vincent to the awe-inspiring victories at the Nile (1798) and Copenhagen (1801), his story unfolds with unparalleled drama.

Delve into the complex tapestry of Nelson's life, marked by both brilliance and scandal. His unapologetic arrogance stands in stark contrast to his passionate, scandalous love affair with the captivating Emma Hamilton.

But the ultimate chapter of his saga is written in blood on the decks of the HMS Victory. On the fateful day of October 21, 1805, Lord Nelson met his heroic end, struck down by a musket shot during the Battle of Trafalgar, securing the greatest naval victory in Royal Navy history.

In "The Letters & Journals of Lord Nelson," you'll experience history like never before. Immerse yourself in the intimate words of the man himself, as his personal letters and journals reveal the audacious exploits and deep emotions of England's greatest hero.

Also available as part of the CLASSIC LETTERS & JOURNALS BOX SET, a sixteen hour, seven-volume edition featuring the letters and journals of Lord Nelson, Charlotte Brontë, Scott of the Antarctic, Queen Victoria, Lord Byron, Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth.

Leo Sparx

One of the world's most infamous macabre stories reimagined as queer erotica. 
If you’ve ever wondered what the sinister world of Edgar Allan Poe would look like filled with gay men, then this story is for you! 
"Erotically wicked! Spellbinding! A unique trans-inclusive retelling of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.’” 
“A wildly inventive labyrinth of dark extravagance with gay otter men and romance at the story's heart."

But this sudden luxury comes at a price. Rules must be followed. Secrets kept. There is an order to the seemingly enchanted building that must be appeased. 
Hustler turned live-in pet, Alexander must navigate his way through bizarre rituals and BDSM training while he battles his frozen heart. Has he fallen in love with the stoic but forceful man who now rules over him or will a handsome friend from Alexander’s past be the key to unlocking the secrets of Usher’s bizarre world? 
Modern kink collides with old magic in this haunting tale of jockstraps, bondage, and sexual hierarchy.

Euthydemus - Logic Language and...

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if the cleverest arguments were the most meaningless? 
In Euthydemus, Plato unleashes his sharpest satire on the world of sophistry. When Socrates meets two cunning rhetoricians, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, a lesson on virtue quickly devolves into a whirlwind of verbal traps, circular logic, and baffling contradictions. Their aim? To appear wise—even if they say nothing at all. 
This modern audiobook translation delivers Plato’s humor, irony, and insight with clarity and flair. Ideal for listeners curious about logic, language, and the fine line between cleverness and wisdom. 
What you'll discover inside: 
•	A comical, cautionary tale about the abuse of language and reasoning 
•	The most absurd (and enlightening) philosophical dialogue ever written 
•	Socrates’ cool-headed navigation through nonsense and noise 
•	A fresh translation that brings Plato’s wit vividly to life 
If you've ever argued just to win—or lost to someone who did—Euthydemus will both entertain and educate.

Master Your Patience : A...

Dr. Pedro Costa

Preface by the Monk Coen. ”In this book, Pedro Costa makes an important analysis - an anamnesis of altered states of consciousness, and gives us guidelines, recipes, suggestions so that we can perceive our moods and develop the ability to deal with them. We will need patience a lot - in order to have physical, mental and social health.
We can identify the enemies of patience. Not only we can, but we should. Let us define them as the main causes of our daily unrest. First, the people. Second, time. Third, the situations. The fourth can be understood as the union of the first three: chaos, or ”people with no time in difficult situations”. Normally, when we lose patience completely we fall into this last stage of impatience. It`s this combination of factors that disturbs our peace. In this book, we describe a method so you always remember the ”good allies” of patience. A way to improve your life. It`s the ”4S” rule, a shortcut to memorizing it. Thus, the four allies of patience are: Silence, Sight, Smile and Sure. Easy, right? We`ll go into detail about this method and each of the four allies as well as the enemies of a complete change to a better life. We must also observe that the more we focus on the present, the more likely we are to find the allies of patience. The authors P. COSTA and G. COSTA bring a two-fold vision from different areas. First a broad approach of patience by medical science, linked to mindfulness, and on the other hand an approach by anthropology, closely related to the totality of the human being, including all of its dimensions.
