A Horse’s Tale by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Told in the proud, observant voice of Soldier Boy, Buffalo Bill's favorite mount, A Horse's Tale carries Mark Twain's wit into a frontier cavalry post where bravery is measured, reputations are made, and animals are expected to serve without complaint. Soldier Boy knows the trails, the bugle calls, and the vanity of the two-legged world, and he watches it all with a mix of humor, loyalty, and hard-won wisdom. Into this rugged routine comes Cathy Alison, a spirited young girl living under the stern protection of her uncle, General Alison. Cathy is drawn to Buffalo Bill's glamour and to Soldier Boy's intelligence and steadiness, and the bond that forms among girl, horse, and scout begins to reshape life at the post.But Twain does not let the story remain a simple yarn of drills and daring. As Soldier Boy is passed from hand to hand and asked to perform under different kinds of authority, the tale presses a sharper question: what does human pride cost the creatures that cannot speak for themselves? By turns comic and tender, the novel becomes a pointed meditation on empathy, cruelty, and the uneasy gap between public heroism and private responsibility.

In Defense of Harriet Shelley by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: biography
In Defense of Harriet Shelley is Mark Twain's sharp, meticulously argued case for a woman history has often treated as a footnote - and a villain. Taking aim at popular biographies of the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, Twain reopens the story of Shelley's first marriage to Harriet Westbrook Shelley and challenges the comfortable legends that excuse the famous poet while condemning the young wife he left behind. With a satirist's bite and a lawyer's patience, Twain sifts through quoted passages, assumptions, and secondhand gossip, exposing how reputations are built, how moral blame gets assigned, and how easily a biographical narrative can harden into 'truth.' At the center is Harriet herself: a real person caught between public mythmaking and private suffering, judged by standards that seem designed to protect genius at any cost. As Twain presses his cross-examination, the listener is drawn into a larger conflict about fairness, gendered double standards, and the ethics of storytelling - who gets defended, who gets dismissed, and what we owe the dead when we write their lives.

Mark Twain’s Letters from Hawaii by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: history
In Mark Twains Letters from Hawaii, the young journalist Samuel Clemens - not yet the world famous Mark Twain - turns a brief assignment in the Pacific into a vivid, funny, and sharply observed portrait of the Hawaiian Islands in the 1860s. Writing as a roaming correspondent, Twain moves from bustling Honolulu to rural districts, recording what he sees with an outsiders curiosity and a satirists eye: volcanic landscapes, sudden storms, crowded wharves, local politics, missionaries and merchants, royal pageantry, and the everyday work and celebrations of island life. Along the way he tests his own limits, chasing sights that feel impossible to describe and meeting people who challenge his assumptions about culture, class, and modernity. The central tension is not a single plot twist, but the push and pull between romantic expectations of paradise and the complex realities of a changing kingdom under growing foreign influence. By mixing reportorial detail with comic exaggeration and bursts of lyrical awe, these letters capture a moment in time while showcasing the early formation of Twains unmistakable voice - skeptical, compassionate, and endlessly entertaining.
