  Herbert George "H. G." Wells (1866 - 1946) was an English writer.
  He was prolific in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is called a "father of science fiction"
  BOOK 4: SOME PERSONAL THINGS: It has been most convenient to discuss all that might be generalized about conduct first, to put in the common background, the vistas and atmosphere of the scene. But a man's relations are of two orders, and these questions of rule and principle are over and about and round more vivid and immediate interests. A man is not simply a relationship between his individual self and the race, society, the world and God's Purpose.

  'And it seemed to her that kisses, voices, tinkling spoons, laughter, the smell of crushed grass were somehow inside her.'
  
  A master of the short story form, Katherine Mansfield offers fifteen remarkable tales in this pioneering and starkly perceptive collection: The Garden Party and Other Stories.
  
  Exploring themes such as class, identity and the human experience, The Garden Party and Other Stories captures several moments of emotional revelation and self-discovery. From unveiling the horrors of the disparity of wealth in the title story, 'The Garden Party', to the devastating effects of loneliness and misogyny in 'Miss Brill', Mansfield's narratives never fail to leave their emotional stamp on their reader. Famed for her vivid depiction of the inner lives of her characters, Mansfield skilfully navigates the complexities of everyday relationships and societal expectations in this stunning masterclass of short story writing. This audiobook edition is expertly brought to life by Stephanie Racine.

  Moby Dick

  Herman Melville

  A masterpiece of storytelling, this epic saga pits Ahab, a brooding and fantastical sea captain, against the great white whale that crippled him. In telling the tale of Ahab's passion for revenge and the fateful voyage that ensued, Melville produced far more than the narrative of a hair-raising journey; Moby-Dick is a tale for the ages that sounds the deepest depths of the human soul.
  Interspersed with graphic sketches of life aboard a whaling vessel, and a wealth of information on whales and 19th-century whaling, Melville's greatest work presents an imaginative and thrilling picture of life at sea, as well as a portrait of heroic determination. The author's keen powers of observation and firsthand knowledge of shipboard life (he served aboard a whaler himself) were key ingredients in crafting a maritime story that dramatically examines the conflict between man and nature.
  “A valuable addition to the literature of the day,” said American journalist Horace Greeley on the publication of Moby-Dick in 1851 — a classic piece of understatement about a literary classic now considered by many as “the great American novel.” Read and pondered by generations, the novel remains an unsurpassed account of the ultimate human struggle against the indifference of nature and the awful power of fate.
