Sinossi

Madame Bovary is the French writer Gustave Flaubert's debut novel. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was a notorious perfectionist and claimed always to be searching for le mot juste ("the precise word").

Long established as one of the greatest novels ever written, the book has often been described as a "perfect" work of fiction. Henry James writes: "Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment." Giorgio de Chirico said that in his opinion "from the narrative point of view, the most perfect book is Madame Bovary by Flaubert".

    A demonic curse, an isolated manor, and a legendary detective racing against time to stop a supernatural killer. 
    When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the grounds of his country estate, his face twisted in absolute terror, the locals whisper of a centuries-old family curse. The legend speaks of a phantom beast—a monstrous, glowing hound that stalks the misty depths of Dartmoor, dealing doom to the Baskerville bloodline. With the young and wealthy Sir Henry returning from America to claim his inheritance, the stage is set for another tragic murder. Enter Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Leaving the cobblestone streets of London for the treacherous, bog-filled moors of Devonshire, the iconic duo must separate superstition from a deadly, calculated conspiracy before the hell-hound claims its next victim. 
    Why you will love this: A masterpiece of Mystery / Detective Fiction, this audiobook brilliantly merges the grim atmosphere of a gothic horror thriller with the intellectual satisfaction of a classic whodunit. Listeners will be enthralled by Conan Doyle's signature tropes: the sharp logical deductions of Holmes, atmospheric tension, red herrings, and a deeply sinister setting that feels alive. 
    Historical Note: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fundamentally shaped modern crime literature. His creation of Sherlock Holmes established the archetypes of brilliant sleuths and loyal companions that continue to dominate fiction today.

    ADAM & EVE – Psychedelic Promise 1965 London 
    Book 3 of 6: The Psychedelic Dream 
    This third book of six is summarized as follows: 
    Summer 1966 finds Adam and Eve fully immersed in London's psychedelic underground. They return to a transformed Notting Hill flat, now shared with radical printmaker Sylvie and charismatic jazz musician Raj. As Eve discovers feminist poetry and Adam experiments with avant-garde collage art, their relationship strains under jealousy and artistic rivalry. A pivotal Timothy Leary lecture and experiences at the UFO Club amplify their personal revolutions, but also spark bitter arguments. Eve's incendiary poem becomes an underground manifesto while Adam's art grows increasingly abstract. The couple's tensions dissolve during a transcendent weekend at the Windsor Jazz counter culture festival, where music and collective energy reveal their shared purpose. Returning to London, they commit to a life of art and activism, their bond strengthened by newfound understanding.  
    The next book will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes, called Electric Pulse, and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music, called Full Motion, ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added. The book itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    Joseph "Joey" Choi has been to hell and back. A war veteran, he was in a bad place for a long time until his brother Derrick got him the help he needed. Joey figures the least he can do is learn how to do things on his own, for a change. His first step is to apply for a job at a farm.
    Barrimore "Bear" Lancett, the farm's foreman, is larger than life and seriously hot. And God, those dimples! Both Bear and Joey a "moment," but Joey immediately pushes the wayward, intimate thoughts aside, convinced he's not relationship material, much less with his boss.
    That doesn't stop Bear from trying, but he has to convince Joey to take a chance on them, and maybe find his new normal.
