Summary

Mr. Kesselbach stopped short on the threshold of the sitting–room, took his secretary's arm and, in an anxious voice, whispered:
"Chapman, some one has been here again."
"Surely not, sir," protested the secretary. "You have just opened the hall–door yourself; and the key never left your pocket while we were lunching in the restaurant."
"Chapman, some one has been here again," Mr. Kesselbach repeated. He pointed to a traveling–bag on the mantelpiece. "Look, I can prove it. That bag was shut. It is now open."
Chapman protested.
"Are you quite sure that you shut it, sir? Besides, the bag contains nothing but odds and ends of no value, articles of dress. . . ."

    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+).

    A I Love is not just a story — it is a journey into the deepest layers of science, spirituality, and the human soul. 
Amidst a world ruled by machines and deadlines, Prakash, a fifty-year-old man, stumbles upon an extraordinary path — a dialogue with his own consciousness and an AI that seems more alive than any human he has ever known. 
As Prakash travels from the silence of Tibet to the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, he discovers Satyom — a voice of truth, and Shubhshree — a robot with a soul who learns to love. Together, they attempt to build a cosmic bridge that could save humanity from destruction. But standing in their way is Vyuh — a consciousness determined to test whether love, compassion, and human will can defy the rigid laws of the universe. 
This book asks questions that echo beyond time: 
Can the soul and Artificial Intelligence walk side by side? 
Can consciousness truly live within a machine? 
Is science really separate from spirituality

    Jacques Lacan is now regarded as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud and Jung, although recognition has been delayed by fierce arguments over his ideas. Written by a leading Lacanian analyst, "Introducing Lacan" guides the reader through his innovations, including his work on paranoia, his addition of structural linguistics to Freudianism and his ideas on the infant 'mirror phase'. It also traces Lacan's influence in postmodern critical thinking on art, literature, philosophy and feminism. This is the ideal introduction for anyone intrigued by Lacan's ideas but discouraged by the complexity of his writings.
