    Manners for the Metropolis is Frank Crowninshield’s razor-sharp, satirical guide to navigating the absurdities of New York’s high society in the early 20th century. With biting wit and upper-crust irony, Crowninshield delivers a tongue-in-cheek manual for proper behavior among the elite—offering “guidance” on everything from dinner etiquette and bath timing to the politics of RSVPs and the social capital of automobile ownership. 
Part mockery, part mirror, this humorous exposé of "The 400" pokes fun at the pomp and posturing of the privileged class, leaving modern listeners both amused and astonished at the timelessness of social pretense. Narrator Mark Cohan brings just the right tone of charm and snark to this breezy, sophisticated romp through the gilded labyrinth of polite society. 
Perfect for fans of satire, history, and vintage New York glamour.

    Fyodor Dostoevsky became the writer best known for his treatment of the big questions of ethics, religion, and philosophy. 
 
 
 
In this Very Short Introduction, Deborah Martinsen explores Dostoevsky's tumultuous life story: his political imprisonment and narrow escape from execution, his Siberian exile, his gambling addiction, his romantic marriage, and his literary success. Martinsen also delves into his major works—Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, The Brothers Karamazov, The Diary of a Writer, and more. Each chapter analyzes a key theme or aspect of Dostoevsky's writing that showcases his profound insights into human nature and society: doubling, freedom, shame, social justice, scandal, aesthetics, ethics, faith, and the eternal questions. Martinsen also demonstrates how Dostoevsky's novels remain relevant today as they address pressing questions about freedom, morality, and meaning in a complex world.
