Sinopsis

In "Anne Page," Netta Syrett crafts a poignant narrative that delves into the complexities of love, identity, and societal expectation in early 20th-century England. Through lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Syrett paints a rich portrait of her protagonist, Anne, as she navigates the turbulent waters of personal and familial relationships. The novel is imbued with the influences of the broader literary movements of its time, particularly the rise of modernism, reflecting the tensions between tradition and a burgeoning sense of individualism. Syrett's ability to capture the emotional landscapes of her characters allows readers to engage deeply with their struggles and aspirations, making the novel a significant contribution to early feminist literature. Netta Syrett, an integral figure in the Edwardian literary scene, was deeply influenced by the social changes around her, particularly those concerning gender and class. Living through the trials of both World Wars, Syrett's experiences as a woman and writer shaped her exploration of themes related to female autonomy and societal roles. Her engagement with contemporary issues of her time enriches the fabric of "Anne Page," providing a critical lens through which to view the constraints placed upon women. "Anne Page" is an essential read for anyone interested in early feminist literature or the exploration of human relationships within the confines of social mores. Syrett's meticulous character development and evocative prose offer profound insights into the meaning of love and self-discovery. This novel resonates with contemporary audiences, making it a timeless reflection on the human condition.

    The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is Victor Hugo's epic tale of love, fate, and social injustice, set against the backdrop of medieval Paris and its towering cathedral. The story follows the tragic lives of Esmeralda, a beautiful Romani dancer, and Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre-Dame. Caught in a web of desire, cruelty, and corruption, their lives are shaped by the forces of power, prejudice, and redemption.More than a romance or historical drama, Hugo's novel is a powerful commentary on architecture, culture, and the human condition. It celebrates the beauty of the marginalized, the sanctity of compassion, and the enduring importance of preserving history — making The Hunchback of Notre-Dame both timeless and hauntingly relevant.

Coram had dismissed his previous two secretaries. The murder happened at Yoxley Old Place near Chatham, Kent, with a sealing-wax knife of the professor's as the weapon. Hopkins can identify no motive for the killing, with Smith having no enemies or trouble in his past. Smith was found by Coram's maid, who recounts his last words as "The professor; it was she."The maid further told Hopkins that prior to the murder she heard Smith leave his room and walk down to the study; she had been hanging curtains and did not see him, only recognizing his brisk step. The professor was in bed at the time. A minute later, a hoarse scream issued from the study, and the maid, hesitating briefly, inspected and found the murder. She later tells Holmes that Smith went out for a walk not long before the murder...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

    Title: Shadow – A Parable 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1835 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 42 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    “Shadow – A Parable” by Edgar Allan Poe is a brief yet profound meditation on death, memory, and the fragile line between the living and the departed. Set amid the aftermath of pestilence, seven figures gather in a dimly lit chamber, haunted by the ghostly presence of a shifting shadow that speaks not to the ear but to the soul. 
    First published in 1835, this early work reveals Poe’s mastery of atmosphere and allegory — a fusion of Biblical solemnity and gothic despair. The story’s vision of mortality and the dissolution of self foreshadows the existential darkness that would come to define Poe’s later works. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance imbues Poe’s haunting prose with a spectral intensity — a voice that rises from the silence of the grave to whisper of humanity’s inevitable end. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, Shadow – A Parable stands as an eerie meditation on the universality of death — a moment when even the proudest voices of the living fall silent beneath the eternal shadow.
