• Man and Maid by E. Nesbit ~ Full Audiobook [romance]

  Man and Maid by E. Nesbit audiobook. Genre: romance Step into the drawing rooms, nurseries, and secret corners of late–Victorian England in E. Nesbit’s sparkling tale *Man and Maid*, where love and class collide with wit, warmth, and a touch of mischief. At the heart of the story is a spirited young woman whose independent mind and quick tongue constantly challenge the stiff conventions of the society around her. When she finds herself entangled with a proud, sometimes exasperating gentleman—her social opposite in every way—their relationship unfolds as a lively battle of wills, full of misunderstanding, tenderness, and unexpected moments of revelation. Nesbit brings her trademark humor and keen eye for human nature to every encounter, from awkward proposals and jealous quarrels to poignant confessions and hard‑won reconciliations. This audiobook invites you into a world of gaslit evenings and garden walks, where every glance and half‑spoken word matters—and where two imperfect people must learn to see each other clearly before they can truly fall in love. Listeners who enjoy sharp dialogue, strong heroines, and slow‑burn emotional depth will find *Man and Maid* a charming, quietly addictive escape.

• Grim Tales by E. Nesbit ~ Full Audiobook [horror]

  Grim Tales by E. Nesbit audiobook. Genre: horror Enter a world where shadows stretch a little too far, where a knock at the door after midnight might be an omen, and where the ordinary suddenly, quietly, goes wrong. In E. Nesbit’s *Grim Tales*, the beloved Edwardian children’s author reveals a darker, more unsettling side of her imagination. These are not the comforting fantasies of talking dragons and magic carpets, but taut, eerie stories in which ghostly apparitions, cursed objects, uncanny coincidences, and the weight of guilt and fear press in on everyday life. Nesbit’s genius lies in how close to home these tales feel: a train journey, a borrowed house, a chance encounter, a long-ago promise—each becomes the starting point for a slow, irresistible slide into the supernatural. Her prose is elegant and precise, her chills subtle but lingering, more likely to haunt you hours later than to startle you in the moment. This audiobook invites you to sink into that rich, atmospheric world, to listen as the ordinary slips its mask and reveals its darker face. Perfect for late-night listening, *Grim Tales* is a collection of quiet, sophisticated terrors that will delight lovers of classic ghost stories and anyone who believes that the past is never quite as dead and buried as we’d like to think. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 1 (00:29:23) Chapter 2 (00:46:52) Chapter 3 (00:55:22) Chapter 4 (01:03:55) Chapter 5 (01:20:26) Chapter 6 (01:29:23) Chapter 7 (01:38:00) Chapter 8 (02:12:15) Chapter 9 Learn more about your ad choices.

• Unicorns by James Huneker ~ Full Audiobook [history]

  Unicorns by James Huneker audiobook. Genre: history Step into the sparkling, bohemian world of early 20th‑century art and ideas with James Huneker’s *Unicorns*, a dazzling collection of essays from one of America’s most brilliant, sharp‑tongued critics. Huneker moves effortlessly from Parisian cafés to New York concert halls, from smoky studios to crowded piano lofts, writing about painters, composers, writers, and performers with a wit so quick and an eye so keen that the people and places seem to leap alive in your ears. These “unicorns” are the rare spirits—artists and thinkers—who refuse to be ordinary, and Huneker tracks them with a blend of admiration, irreverence, and deep knowledge. Whether he’s capturing the electricity of a Chopin performance, sketching a flamboyant painter in a single cutting sentence, or musing on the wild directions of modern art, his voice feels uncannily contemporary: opinionated, cultured, funny, and passionate. This audiobook immerses you in a vanished cultural moment—fin‑de‑siècle Europe and Gilded Age America—while speaking directly to enduring questions: What makes great art? Why do some geniuses burn out while others change the world? Performed with nuance that highlights Huneker’s irony, elegance, and enthusiasm, *Unicorns* is perfect listening for lovers of classical music, modern art, and literary essays who want to be both entertained and provoked by a critic at the height of his powers. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 01 (00:06:32) Chapter 02 (00:27:07) Chapter 03 (00:51:15) Chapter 04 (01:36:27) Chapter 05 (02:07:23) Chapter 06 (02:42:18) Chapter 07 (03:03:13) Chapter 08 (03:18:52) Chapter 09 (03:28:03) Chapter 10 (03:43:26) Chapter 11 (04:12:09) Chapter 12 (04:31:51) Chapter 13 (04:45:50) Chapter 14 (05:00:14) Chapter 15 (05:25:38) Chapter 16 (05:38:10) Chapter 17 (05:51:41) Chapter 18 (06:05:15) Chapter 19 (06:18:41) Chapter 20 (06:34:29) Chapter 21 (06:57:05) Chapter 22 (07:28:18) Chapter 23 (07:50:59) Chapter 24 (07:59:43) Chapter 25 (08:25:35) Chapter 26 (08:49:47) Chapter 27 (09:00:19) Chapter 28 (09:28:58) Chapter 29 (09:48:57) Chapter 30 Learn more about your ad choices.
