    'The Undying Man' is a slight unfinished piece, drawing its inspiration from Shelley's 'Frankenstein' about the creation of life and the fear of death. It is interesting to speculate where Lawrence would have gone with the story but the sound of broken glass is the most likely ending.

    Bartleby, The Scrivener by Herman Melville is a profound and haunting tale that explores themes of isolation, free will, and the dehumanizing effects of modern work. The story is narrated by a Wall Street lawyer who hires a quiet and enigmatic scrivener named Bartleby. Initially diligent, Bartleby soon begins to refuse his tasks with the simple yet unsettling phrase, “I would prefer not to.” As his passive resistance escalates, his employer struggles to understand the man’s mysterious behavior, leading to a meditation on society’s treatment of those who refuse to conform. 
Narrated by Daniel Pagone, this audiobook brings Melville’s masterful storytelling to life, capturing the eerie detachment and deep existential themes of the novella. Bartleby, The Scrivener is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers and listeners alike, offering a thought-provoking look at individualism, alienation, and the silent struggles within the workplace. 
Originally published in 1853, Melville’s novella remains one of the most influential works in American literature, inspiring countless interpretations and discussions on human nature and social structures.

Set in 1930’s middle-class England, the classic domestic drama, They Were Sisters, is a compelling but harrowing novel by Dorothy Whipple. Meet three women with contrasting partners: Lucy's husband is her beloved companion; Vera's husband bores her and she turns elsewhere; and Charlotte's husband is a horrifying bully who turns a high-spirited naive young girl into a deeply unhappy woman. This is the story of how those marriages shape the sister’s lives, the consequences of their decisions, and the sisterly love that hopes to save them from tragedy.They Were Sisters is part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, a series of forgotten classics that includes neglected fiction and non-fiction by women writers. This audiobook of a novel first published in 1943 breathes new life into Whipple's work; with a fascinating introduction by novelist Celia Brayfield.
