    Mysterious Phileas Fogg is a man of the most repetitious and punctual habit - with no apparent sense of adventure whatsoever - he gambles his considerable fortune that he can complete a journey around the world in just 80 days... immediately after a newspaper calculates the feat as just barely possible. With his excitable French manservant in tow, Fogg undertakes the exercise immediately, with no preparations, trusting that his traveling funds will make up for delays along the way. But unbeknownst to him, British police are desperately seeking to arrest him for the theft of a huge sum by someone who resembles him, and they will track him around the world, if necessary, to apprehend him. This is an adventure novel of the first water, with wholly unexpected perils, hair-breadth escapes, brilliant solutions to insoluble problems, and even a love story. And can this be? - That he returns to London just five minutes too late to win his wager and retain his fortune?

    Step into the world of The Chimes, Charles Dickens’ moving holiday tale that explores themes of hope, redemption, and the human spirit. In this lesser-known but equally touching story, Dickens introduces us to Toby "Trotty" Veck, a poor and humble messenger who has lost faith in himself and society. On New Year's Eve, Trotty is visited by spirits through the chimes of the church bells, who reveal to him visions of despair, resilience, and the possibility for change. 
Through Trotty’s journey, Dickens crafts a powerful message about overcoming cynicism and finding hope, even in difficult times. With rich, descriptive language and heartfelt storytelling, The Chimes resonates with the same warmth and compassion as A Christmas Carol and is perfect for anyone who loves Victorian literature or holiday tales with a meaningful twist. 
Expertly narrated to bring Dickens’ vivid characters and atmospheric London setting to life, this audiobook is a memorable addition to any holiday season. 
Start listening to The Chimes today and rediscover the enduring values of love, hope, and renewal as we welcome a new year!

    Winner of the Pulitzer Prize 
Edith Wharton brings the glamorous Gilded Age to life in this acclaimed 1920 novel. Distinguished heir Newland Archer is happily engaged to proper society darling May Welland–until the day he meets her cousin, the scandalous and bold (and married) Countess Ellen Olenska. Suddenly, his carefully planned future feels restrictive and stale. Ellen represents possibilities Newland has never before imagined, but is he already too entrenched in New York society to take such a leap? Tradition, progress, and obligation vibrate with tension in the book that established Wharton as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize.
