    Two centuries after the Great War, Europe has been wiped from the map—and crossing the deadline means certain death. 
    It is the year 2137. The Pan-American Federation has enjoyed two hundred years of absolute peace, isolated from the Eastern Hemisphere by the draconian edicts of longitude 30. No ship has crossed the meridian and returned. No man knows what lies beyond. But when a catastrophic malfunction strands Lieutenant Jefferson Turck and his aero-submarine over the forbidden waters of the Atlantic, he is left with a dire choice: face execution for treason at home, or chart a course eastward into the terrifying unknown. 
    Landing on the shores of ancient England, Turck discovers not the glorious civilization of history books, but a savage, overgrown wilderness teeming with fierce predators and primitive, brutal human tribes. Stripped of his high-tech advantages, the modern naval officer must rely on his raw survival instincts. With the help of Victory, a fiercely independent tribal queen, Turck must navigate the crumbling ruins of London, battle apex predators reigning from the thrones of kings, and escape the barbaric warlords who wish them both dead. 
    Why you will love this audiobook: Fans of classic Science Fiction will be mesmerized by this thrilling blend of post-apocalyptic survival, dystopian world-building, and high-octane pulp adventure. Combining futuristic exploration, military sci-fi undertones, and lost world tropes, this action-packed odyssey delivers an unforgettable vision of a fallen empire reclaimed by nature.

    Victor Frankenstein assembles a living creature in a candlelit attic, sees what he has made, and runs. Everything that follows — the pursuit across the ice, the demand for a companion, the murders — comes from that flight rather than from the act of creation. Shelley began it at eighteen, in a wet summer on Lake Geneva, and the creature's own account of his abandonment remains the part readers cannot argue their way out of. The Gilded Library sets the 1831 text among period paintings of Alpine ice, laboratory gloom and solitary wandering; the ornament is built from lightning, glass retorts and thorn.

    'I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.'
    
    One of the most significant novellas of the twentieth century, Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis is a deeply haunting exploration of identity, isolation and the existential shadows that follow the human experience.
    
    Gregor Samsa, a seemingly average salesman and cloth merchant, awakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Trapped inside his new grotesque form, Gregor struggles to hold down his job and maintain his place in the family who become increasingly wary of him, frightful of his new body. Soon Gregor is unable to communicate at all, and becomes fearful he will forget his human side altogether. Darkly surreal and emotionally charged, The Metamorphosis remains a masterpiece of modern literature. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Roger May.
    Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) was an Austrian-Czech novelist, and is regarded as one of the most significant literary figures of the twentieth century. His work often blended realism with the fantastical; 'Kafkaesque' has become a widely used term which describes an absurd situation, much like the events portrayed in his writing.

    Alvina Houghton is the only daughter of James Houghton, a merchant in the English Midlands whose business sense is insufficient to ensure his family's prosperity. Alvina is independent-minded and struggles to fit in with the society around her—none of the available men spark her interest, and she begins training as a maternity nurse more out of a sense of obligation than of duty. As her father's business continues to do poorly, he decides to open a theater, with Alvina helping by playing the piano. A traveling troupe of international entertainers arrive, and Alvina soon falls in love with one of them, an Italian named Ciccio. As the outbreak of the First World War looms, Alvina feels drawn to rural Italy to live with her love. But after having spent a lifetime as an aimless, freethinking, and unconstrained spirit, can she adapt to the expectations of society firmly entrenched in the past? Like many of D. H. Lawrence's novels, The Lost Girl is built around a realistic depiction of English Midland life and society. Despite modern assessments placing it among the lesser of his novels, it won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 1920. D. H. Lawrence (died 1930) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, The Lost Girl exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
