Orlando

Virginia Woolf

Sinossi

✨ What if a single life could stretch across centuries—and shift from one gender to another?

Virginia Woolf's Orlando: A Biography is one of the most daring and imaginative works of modernist literature. First published in 1928, it tells the story of Orlando, a young nobleman in Elizabethan England who inexplicably lives for centuries and awakens one day as a woman.

Part love letter, part satire, and part philosophical meditation, Woolf's masterpiece explores themes of gender, identity, art, and the fluidity of time. With her wit and lyrical brilliance, she defies conventional boundaries, blurring the line between biography and fiction.

🌟 Why readers love Orlando:

One of the earliest explorations of gender fluidity and identity in literature.

A witty, playful critique of English history and society.

Inspired by Woolf's intimate relationship with the poet Vita Sackville-West.

Celebrated as a visionary feminist classic, Orlando continues to inspire readers with its boldness and timeless exploration of what it means to be human.

War and Peace - Step into 1805...

Leo Tolstoy

As Napoleon's shadow creeps across Europe, the glittering ballrooms of Russian high society become the first battleground of a shattered empire.
It is July 1805, and the elite of St. Petersburg are blissfully dancing on the edge of the abyss. While emperors strategize in secret, the lives of three young dreamers intersect in a world defined by suffocating tradition and impending doom. There is Pierre, the awkward, illegitimate heir to a massive fortune, struggling to find his purpose; Prince Andrew, a brilliant but cynical nobleman desperate to escape a hollow marriage on the battlefield; and Natasha, a vibrant young countess yearning for true romance. As alliances shift and the drums of combat draw closer, these unforgettable souls must navigate treacherous court intrigues, forbidden desires, and the devastating realities of a continent engulfed in flames.
Why you will love this masterpiece: This monumental historical fiction audiobook weaves together sweeping war epic tropes, intricate political maneuvering, and passionate societal drama. Fans of epic family sagas, lush romantic suspense, and philosophical character studies will be mesmerized by its cinematic exploration of ambition, destiny, and the human spirit against the breathtaking backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.
About the Author: Leo Tolstoy was a titan of Russian literature whose unparalleled storytelling revolutionized the modern novel. Renowned for his deep psychological insight and massive narrative scale, his masterworks remain a definitive pillar of world literature.

Jessica Ellicott

1940. It’s been a month since rector’s daughter Billie Harkness left her rural village to make a fresh start in the northern city of Hull.

Billie makes a shocking discovery: his dead body, in a shelter that’s been stripped of all its valuables.  
 
The officers summoned to investigate the scene believe it’s an open and shut case, but Billie’s not so sure. Asking questions means making enemies though—and little does she know that vile rumors about her are spreading, with the power to erase everything she’s tried so hard to achieve …
