  In Around the Moon, Jules Verne continues the thrilling adventure begun in From the Earth to the Moon, taking readers on a voyage beyond the boundaries of Earthly experience. The story follows three travelers — propelled into space by a colossal cannon — as they circle the Moon and confront the infinite silence of the cosmos.Blending scientific realism with poetic wonder, Verne depicts the beauty and terror of the unknown. His descriptions of weightlessness, lunar landscapes, and celestial phenomena anticipate the discoveries of the future, written with the precision of an engineer and the heart of a dreamer.Around the Moon* is not just an adventure; it is a meditation on humanity's place in the universe. In their fragile capsule, Verne's explorers embody the eternal human desire to understand, to reach, and to marvel — a spirit that continues to define exploration today.

  The old man Malakhin, accompanied by his rather useless son Yasha, makes a journey to Saint Petersburg in a freight train with the view of selling his cattle. Everybody around is bent on extorting the money from him. The train driver simply refuses to move the train without being paid, and the uber-conductor has to have his reward too. Malakhin is so distressed as to file a written complaint to the police, still he throws his money around, even on the occasions when this does not seem necessary. Four days later, after having bribed his way to the capital, he sells his starved-out animals, loses a great deal of money but is greatly relieved to see his totally meaningless mission completed.

  Discovering a body on her property presents Lady Abigail Worthing with more than one pressing problem. The victim is Juliet, the wife of her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. Although Abigail has little connection with the lady in question, she expects to be under suspicion. Abigail's skin color and her mother's notorious past have earned her a certain reputation among the ton, and no amount of wealth or status will eclipse it. 
   
   
    
  Abigail can't divulge that she was attending a secret pro-abolition meeting at the time of the murder. To her surprise, Henderson offers her an alibi. Though he and Juliet were long estranged, and she had a string of lovers, he feels a certain loyalty to his late wife. Perhaps together, he and Abigail can learn the truth. 
   
   
    
  Abigail, whose marriage to Lord Worthing was not a love match, knows well how appearances can deceive. For all its surface elegance, London's high society can be treacherous. Yet who in their circle would have killed Juliet, and why? Taking the reins of her life in a way she never has before, Abby intends to find out—but in the process she will uncover more danger than she ever imagined . . .

  “Agnès! You red-haired spawn of the devil, where are you?” 
  It was my father calling me, after his usual fashion. I raked my sweat-dampened hair out of my eyes and heaved the bundle of fagots back on my shoulder. Little of rest was there in my life. 
  My father parted the bushes and came into the glade – a tall man, gaunt and bitter, darkened with the suns of many campaigns, marked with scars gotten in the service of greedy kings and avaricious dukes. He scowled at me, and faith, I would hardly have recognized him had he worn another expression.  
   * * *  
  In the rugged countryside of 16th-century France, Agnès de Chastillon's story unfolds, a tale of resilience born from hardship. Raised under the harsh hand of her father and coerced into a loathsome marriage, Agnès dramatically escapes her village. Her journey is fraught with danger, falling into the clutches of men with nefarious intentions. One plots to sell her into a brothel, while another teaches her the art of sword fighting. In mere weeks, Agnès is thrust into adulthood, swiftly becoming a notorious figure across France. 
  * * * 
  Renowned for creating Conan the Barbarian, a character that shaped the fantasy genre of sword and sorcery, Robert E. Howard also penned detective stories and historical adventures. Among these, the tales of Agnès de Chastillon stand out, published posthumously over forty years after Howard's demise. These gripping narratives are now available for the first time as ebook and audiobook, bringing Howard's captivating storytelling to a new generation of readers and listeners.
