  The Great God Pan

  "The Great God Pan" is a novella written by Arthur Machen. A version of the story was published in the magazine Whirlwind in 1890, and Machen revised and extended it for its book publication (together with another story, "The Inmost Light") in 1894. On publication it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. Machen's story was only one of many at the time to focus on Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and paganism.

  EM Forster's A Room with a View...

  Collected here are three of E.M. Forster's classic novels: "A Room With a View," "Howards End" and "A Passage to India," each book celebrated as among the finest novels of early 20th century literature. 
  In the first, "A Room With a View" we follow the travels - both abroad and romantically - of young Lucy Honeychurch, who kindles a flirtation while on vacation in Italy, but then returns home to find herself in a passionless engagement. When the young man who stirred her heart in Florence becomes her neighbor back in England, Lucy is faced with a dilemma: Break off her engagement to the society-approved Cecil Vyse or follow her heart with the dashing George Emerson. 
  In "Howards End" (considered by many to be Forster's finest work), we meet three families: the idealistic Schlegels, the fabulously wealthy Wilcoxes and the impoverished Basts. When Ruth, the ailing matriarch of the Wilcox family, secretly bequeaths her beloved country house Howards End to Margaret Schlegel, it launches a series of events - including family strife, infidelities, and a secret pregnancy - which threaten to destroy all three families. 
  Finally, in "A Passage to India," Forster examines the cultural clashes in colonial India when a local physician is wrongly accused of assault against an English tourist while on a sojourn to the mysterious Marabar Caves. A fascinating and riveting look at race, power dynamics and colonial rule. 
  Long hailed as one of the most brilliant and beloved authors of the Edwardian era, E.M. Forster's works have become among the most critically acclaimed and cherished novels of the past hundred years and have been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen. These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged formats and are narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for giving voice to Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and the entire works of Jane Austen.

  In the ritual circles of Emberfall, where fire dancers twirl phoenix feathers in blazing rites and rain spirits grace the air with downpour kisses, dancer Aria performs a ritual that quenches her flames with spirit Liriel, whose tears adorn the feathers with iridescent joy. Their dance, adorned in tearful vows, harmonizes fire and rain—or drowns the circle in steamy conflict. As they spin through feather-strewn pyres and rain-veiled altars, contested by flame zealots and storm sentinels, Aria's fiery twirl merges with Liriel's graceful cascade, revealing a phoenix legend of tear-quenched rebirth. When a dried feather summons drought wraiths, they must dance the tears to renew the grace. In the swirl of adorned rituals, where every feather gleams with sorrow and every raindrop sparkles with passion, their love becomes the ritual that balances eternal elements.

  A rich man is about to set foot into an unknown world, while a Good Samaritan fears he'll have to close the charity he's spent his life building. Poised to lose it all, they might find what they need most in each other. Son of a wealthy importer, Galen Merriweather lives to broker deals, and he's damn good at it. But it's getting harder to ignore the kind of man his father is—a man who would pay Galen's brother's lover to leave… a man who'd demand Galen retrieve a quarter-million-dollar check from a struggling homeless shelter. Robert Kotke knows the money is too good to be true, but it's a godsend that could help so many people. Still, he hands it over when Galen shows up. But he isn't done with Galen yet, and he's going to challenge everything Galen ever believed. Galen will face an impossible decision: the redemption he's come to realize he wants, or the life he'd always dreamed of.
