Hans of Iceland by Victor Hugo audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

Hans of Iceland was written in 1821 and is the very first novel written by young Victor, years before he became the great Hugo. It has all the ingredients of a gothic novel: dreadful murders by the hand of a human monster, a young hero in love with the destitute heroine, royal court-intrigues and rebellious uprising, all set in dungeons, dark towers and the untamed nature of Norway.

This audio-book has been recorded as Dramatic Reading with all the voices performed by one single reader, including laughs, sobs, groans, occasional screams and a lot of growls. I hope you will enjoy listening to this adventurous journey just as much as I enjoyed recording it

The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver by Thornton W. Burgess audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver, Thornton W. Burgess returns to the Green Forest and Smiling Pool to follow one of its most determined builders. When Paddy arrives with his big teeth, clever paws, and a plan to make a home of his own, the woods quickly learn that a beaver does not do anything halfway. As Paddy gathers branches, gnaws down trees, and shapes the water to suit his needs, his work changes the neighborhood in ways that amaze some and worry others. Familiar friends and busybodies - from curious birds to wary pond dwellers - watch closely, trade rumors, and argue about what Paddy is up to and whether his ambitious projects will help or harm the life around the water. But the forest is never without danger, and Paddy must use patience, skill, and plain hard work to protect himself and his home from threats that cannot be solved with wood and mud alone. Warm, playful, and full of nature lore, this classic tale celebrates ingenuity, perseverance, and the complicated ripples one animal can make in a shared world.

Gloves Past and Present by Willard M. Smith audiobook.

Genre: history

In Gloves Past and Present, Willard M. Smith turns an everyday accessory into a surprising lens on power, faith, fashion, and work. Drawing on decades in the glove trade, Smith sets out to explain why gloves once carried the weight of ceremony and status: as emblems of royal authority, symbols in religious ritual, and tokens used to seal pledges, issue challenges, or confer honor. Moving across centuries, he traces how hand coverings evolved from practical protection into coded social signals that shaped etiquette and public life. The book then shifts from legend to craft, opening the workshop door on how gloves are designed, cut, sewn, fitted, and finished, and how changing tastes and technologies transformed the modern industry. Along the way, Smith highlights the people behind the product - artisans, merchants, and designers - and the economic networks that made gloves a global business. Part cultural history and part insider's guide, this is a spirited invitation to look closely at what you wear and discover the long human story stitched into it.
