Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton audiobook.
Genre: tragedy
In a stark New England town locked in winter for much of the year, Ethan Frome lives a narrowed life of duty and quiet desperation. Once a young man with ambitions beyond the hills of Starkfield, Ethan now struggles to keep a failing farm and a small sawmill going while caring for his sickly, controlling wife, Zeena. When Zeena's cousin, Mattie Silver, comes to stay as a hired companion, her warmth and simple liveliness bring light into the Frome household-and into Ethan's imagination of a different future. But Starkfield is a place where money is scarce, gossip is close, and obligation grips hard. As Ethan grows increasingly attached to Mattie, he is forced to measure desire against responsibility, and hope against the grim arithmetic of survival. Edith Wharton builds a tense, intimate portrait of a man caught between moral constraint and longing, where even small choices carry enormous weight. With icy landscapes mirroring emotional isolation, the novel explores poverty, loneliness, and the quiet tragedies that unfold when love arrives too late and freedom costs more than a person can pay.

Crucial Instances by Edith Wharton audiobook.
Genre: drama
Crucial Instances is a keenly observed collection of short fiction in which Edith Wharton turns ordinary social rituals into high-stakes tests of character. Across a range of settings - drawing rooms, country estates, and the quietly charged spaces between husbands and wives - Wharton follows men and women caught at the exact moment when a single choice can reshape a life. A wife confronts the cost of loyalty and self-respect, an ambitious outsider learns what entry into polite society truly demands, and private desires press against public expectations with consequences that linger long after a conversation ends. With her trademark precision, Wharton examines class, marriage, money, reputation, and the subtle power struggles that govern seemingly refined worlds. Each story builds toward a decisive instant: a confession withheld, an invitation accepted, a truth recognized too late, or a moral line crossed almost imperceptibly. Elegant, psychologically sharp, and often quietly unsettling, Crucial Instances reveals how the smallest actions can become turning points - and how the most decisive battles are sometimes fought in silence.

Anecdotes of Dogs by Edward Jesse audiobook.
Genre: science
'Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.'
The character, sensibilities, and intellectual faculties of animals have always been a favourite study, and they are, perhaps, more strongly developed in the dog than in any other quadruped, from the circumstance of his being the constant companion of man. I am aware how much has been written on this subject, but having accumulated many original and interesting anecdotes of this faithful animal, I have attempted to enlarge the general stock of information respecting it.
It is a pleasing task, arising from the conviction that the more the character of the dog is known, the better his treatment is likely to be, and the stronger the sympathy excited in his behalf.
