  The Death of Ivan Ilyich

  Hailed as a masterpiece on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his dying so much as a passing thought. But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise, he is brought face to face with his own mortality.
  
  How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?
  
  This novella was an artistic culmination of a profound spiritual crisis in Tolstoy's life, a nine-year period following the publication of Anna Karenina during which he wrote not a word of fiction.
  
  A thoroughly absorbing, and, at times, terrifying glimpse into the abyss of death, it is also a strong testament to the possibility of finding spiritual salvation.

  Ambrose Bierce (1842–c.1914) was an American writer, journalist, and satirist known for his mordant wit and dark humor. Born in Meigs County, Ohio, he served in the Union Army during the Civil War, experiences that deeply influenced his later works. After the war, Bierce moved to San Francisco, where he became a prominent figure in literary circles. He contributed to newspapers and magazines with his sharp, often cynical prose. Bierce is best known for his short story collection "Tales of Soldiers and Civilians," particularly the story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," and his satirical dictionary, "The Devil's Dictionary." His later years were marked by travel to England and Mexico; his disappearance in Mexico around 1913 or 1914 remains one of literature's most famous mysteries. Bierce's legacy includes his contributions to the genres of horror and fantasy and his critical view of human nature.

  Teleny - Or The Reverse of the...

  'Virtue is the sweet flavour of the peach; vice, the tiny droplet of prussic acid – its delicious savour. Life, without either, would be vapid.'
  
  First published in 1893 by an anonymous author (although often attributed to the nineteenth century writer Oscar Wilde), Teleny, or the Reverse of the Medal is a homoerotic novel set in fin de siècle Paris. It is one of the first pornographic works in the English language that focusses almost exclusively on a queer relationship.
  
  Respected for its lush prose style and depth and complexity of characters, Teleny, or the Reverse of the Medal follows the ardent love affair between young Frenchman Camille Des Grieux and Hungarian pianist René Teleny. Overcome with admiration and desire while watching Teleny perform in concert, Des Grieux soon develops a profound fixation on the talented musician. Infatuated by their seemingly telepathic sexual connection, Des Grieux's feelings only deepen as their relationship progresses. But in a society where homosexuality is callously rejected, the pressure to hide their unspoken bond becomes too much. As tragic as it is titillating, this audiobook edition is movingly narrated by Ben Allen.
  Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist and poet. He became one of the most popular figures of the London literary scene in the late nineteenth century, and is remembered to this day for his biting wit, flamboyant style and social satire. After being taken to trial for gross indecency in 1895, Wilde was arrested and imprisoned for two years before his eventual exile and death.
