  'Dreams.
  You don't compromise on those.'
  Lip and Ruth have left the city behind for a new life on a farm; trying to live differently, live better. But when Ruth's stepdaughter and her incendiary best friend arrive, this quiet rural project is thrown into chaos, as conflicting visions of the future come crashing into the present.
  Poignant and powerful, Mike Bartlett's play Juniper Blood explores the true cost of pursuing our ideals in an imperfect world. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2025, directed by James Macdonald.

  Dante Alighieri's*Inferno*, here titled *Hell*, is the first canticle of his great narrative poem *Commedìa* (1314-1321), considered by many to be the foundation of modern vernacular literature, which consigned to the past the literary use of Latin. Dante's visionary description of the afterlife and the profound humanity of his characters have been admired by many generations of readers and writers, and the beauty of its verse has never been surpassed. The translation presented here is by Leon Stephens, who is also the reader.

  Things To Read Before You Sleep

  This book is all about the simplicity of our ability as humans to simply be...at ease. Maybe you're on your way to work. Maybe you're soaking in a hot tub-with or without the bubbles. Maybe you're driving on a road trip, or, God forbid, stuck in traffic. Or you're the running sort, headphones or earbuds taking you to another plain of existence as you traverse the miles. Or, maybe, just maybe, you're sitting in silence and letting these words take you on an out-of-body experience. In any of those cases, "Things To Read Before You Sleep" is my first foray into that challenging minefield called poetry. This book gives life and character to both inanimate objects-such as a simple shoe-and scary subjects, like darkness. The metaphysical world of dreaming, and, of course, what would any book of poetry be without addressing that age-old, soul-encapsulating emotion called...love. It may be less than an hour long, but I hope it's a listening journey that takes you wherever it is you'd like to be and leaves you changed forever. I'm currently creating artwork for all of poems in this audiobook. Believe me, it's going to be a thing of beauty. Thank you.

  The Tempest

  William Shakespeare

  The Tempest is a play by English playwright William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants: Caliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. In Act IV, a wedding masque serves as a play-within-a-play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and elevated language.
  Although The Tempest is listed in the First Folio as the first of Shakespeare's comedies, it deals with both tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a category of romance for this and others of Shakespeare's late plays. The Tempest has been put to varied interpretations, from those that see it as a fable of art and creation, with Prospero representing Shakespeare, and Prospero's renunciation of magic signaling Shakespeare's farewell to the stage, to interpretations that consider it an allegory of Europeans colonizing foreign lands.

  This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
  I am beyond life, 
  I am beyond strife, 
  I am long beyond my last breath, 
  I'm among the angelic host, 
  some call me a ghost, 
  I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
  I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
  as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.
