Cathay by Ezra Pound audiobook.
Genre: poetry
The Cathay poems appeared in a slim volume in 1915. They are, in effect, Ezra Pound’s English translations/interpretations from notebooks written by the Japanese scholar Ernest Fenollosa. Pound, not knowing any Chinese or Japanese at all, promptly created a new and somewhat complex style of translation, as he had done with words from several other languages. The Cathay poems are primarily written by the Chinese poet Li Po, referred to throughout these translations as Rihaku, the Japanese form of his name. These poems came to have a profound influence on 20th Century poetry, spawning, among other things, the Imagist movement, and helped in the generation of widespread interest in Asian literature and thought. Also included in this collection are two poems from Pound’s 1912 collection Ripostes. “The Seafarer” is another of Pound’s experiments in translation, this one from the Anglo-Saxon.

Flatland - A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott audiobook.
Genre: scifi
In the perfectly ordered world of Flatland, everything and everyone is a geometric shape, and your place in society is literally defined by the number of sides you have. A Square, a respectable middle-class professional, lives a predictable life governed by rigid rules, sharp prejudices, and an unquestioned faith in the dimensions he can see. But on the eve of the centennial celebration, his routine is interrupted by unsettling encounters that hint at realities beyond length and width. When a mysterious visitor from a higher dimension appears, the Square is drawn into a mind-bending journey that challenges his understanding of space, logic, and even the limits of imagination. As he struggles to communicate what he has learned to a society terrified of the unknown, Flatland becomes both a playful mathematical thought experiment and a pointed satire of social hierarchy, conformity, and intellectual censorship. By blending wit with wonder, Edwin Abbott Abbott crafts a story that invites listeners to reconsider how easily 'common sense' can become a cage - and how daring it is to see the world from a different angle.

The Grell Mystery by Frank Froest audiobook.
Genre: mystery
On a rain-swept London night, American millionaire-adventurer Robert Grell leaves the comfort of his club for a secret appointment, just days before his society wedding to Lady Eileen Meredith. By morning, Grell is at the center of a scandalous puzzle: a man has been found murdered in the study of Grell's home, yet the dead man is not who the household insists he is. As whispers spread from drawing rooms to back alleys, Scotland Yard is called in to prevent a high-profile case from turning into a public humiliation. Leading the inquiry is Chief Inspector Heldon Foyle, a patient, relentless investigator who quickly realizes that every straightforward explanation falls apart under scrutiny. Grell himself has vanished, a veiled woman seems to hover at the edge of events, and a missing foreign valet deepens the sense that someone has staged the scene with care. With aristocratic reputations on the line and the criminal underworld offering its own shadowy truths, Foyle must sort genuine clues from deliberate misdirection and answer the question that drives the case: is this murder the work of chance, revenge, or a plan close to perfection?
