  Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the major English Romantic poets. A radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views, Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime, but recognition of his achievements in poetry grew steadily following his death and he became an important influence on subsequent generations of poets including Robert Browning, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, and W. B. Yeats. American literary critic Harold Bloom describes him as "a superb craftsman, a lyric poet without rival, and surely one of the most advanced sceptical intellects ever to write a poem."

  The Innocents Abroad – Mark Twain 
  What happens when sharp American wit collides with the grandeur of Old Europe and the mystique of the Holy Land? Enter the mind of Mark Twain, where curiosity is weaponized and tradition is gently—yet mercilessly—unraveled. 
  In The Innocents Abroad, Twain turns a simple travelogue into a brilliant social commentary. Through the lens of a transatlantic voyage undertaken by a group of American tourists, he scrutinizes the customs, ruins, and revered relics of the Old World. But this is no ordinary journal—it's a masterful blend of satire, observation, and unfiltered insight, where every monument becomes a metaphor, every encounter a mirror of national identity. 
  Join Twain and his fellow “innocents” as they marvel at the ruins of Rome, navigate the romantic chaos of Paris, and confront the solemn air of Jerusalem. Whether mocking the pomp of ancient architecture or capturing the wonder in a fleeting Mediterranean sunset, Twain’s voice oscillates between biting irony and genuine awe. 
  More than a travel memoir, this audiobook is a timeless interrogation of what it means to see the world—and oneself. Twain's critique of blind reverence and his celebration of independent thought feel as contemporary today as they did in the 19th century, resonating with modern listeners who seek both amusement and insight. 
  This immersive audiobook experience is brought to life by high-fidelity AI narration, designed to capture the nuance of Twain’s humor and the clarity of his prose—ensuring an accessible and engaging listen from start to finish. 
  Step aboard this unforgettable journey. Let Twain be your guide through foreign lands and familiar follies. Purchase now and rediscover the art of seeing with irreverence, intelligence, and a twinkle in the eye.

  Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri on the 30th November 1835 and is far better known by his pen name of Mark Twain.  An American writer and humorist of the first order he is perhaps best known for his novels ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ and its sequel ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ which are often described with that mythic line The Great American Novel. 
  Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri which would later provide the backdrop to these great novels.  Apprenticed to a printer he also became a typesetter and then a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi.  Later, heading west with his brother Orion to make his fortune, he failed at gold mining and instead turned to journalism and thence his true calling as a writer of humorous stories where his wit and humor sparkled from every paragraph, his craft evident with every page and punctured target. 
  A staunch supporter of copyright protections this helped him keep much of the wealth his writing created, though much money was also lost on investments that he pursued in his love for science and technology as well as investing in his own inventions. 
  Twain was born during a visit by Halley’s comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it as well.  He died the day after its subsequent return on 21st April 1910, at his house, Stormfield, located in Redding, Connecticut.
