Joseph Conrad by Hugh Walpole audiobook.
Genre: biography
This is a literary biography of Joseph Conrad (1857 – 1924) who is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English. He was granted British nationality in 1886, but always considered himself a Pole. Though he did not speak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a marked accent), he was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit.
Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, CBE (1884 – 1941) was an English novelist. He was the son of an Anglican clergyman, intended for a career in the church but drawn instead to writing. Among those who encouraged him were the authors Henry James and Arnold Bennett. His skill at scene-setting, vivid plots, and high profile as a lecturer brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. He was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s, but has been largely neglected since his death.... Joseph Conrad said of him, 'We see Mr. Walpole grappling with the truth of things spiritual and material with his characteristic earnestness, and we can discern the characteristics of this acute and sympathetic explorer of human nature.'

Jeremy And Hamlet by Hugh Walpole audiobook.
Genre: family
Set in the English cathedral town of Polchester in the 1890s, Jeremy and Hamlet follows ten-year-old Jeremy Cole as he comes home from school and discovers that home has subtly changed - including his beloved dog, Hamlet. Once inseparable, boy and dog now circle each other warily, as Hamlet has settled into a new routine and Jeremy returns full of expectations, pride, and half-understood worries about where he belongs. Around them, the Cole household bustles with sisters Helen and Mary, anxious parents, servants who see more than they say, and a stream of relatives whose visits bring comedy, discomfort, and sudden moments of insight. Jeremy is old enough to feel the sting of embarrassment and injustice, but young enough to be ruled by imagination, fierce loyalties, and quick remorse. As he navigates church, school talk, family quarrels, small-town gossip, and the private dramas of childhood, Jeremy begins to recognize the hidden strengths and weaknesses of the adults he thought he knew. Warm, witty, and quietly poignant, this chronicle captures the everyday adventures that shape a boy's conscience - and the complicated love between a child and his dog.

The Secret City by Hugh Walpole audiobook.
Genre: history
In The Secret City, Hugh Walpole drops an idealistic young Englishman into Petrograd on the eve of revolution and lets the city itself become the story's most dangerous character. Henry Bohun arrives in Russia in 1916 with romantic expectations and a hunger to belong, but he is quickly confronted by shortages, rumors, surveillance, and the uneasy sense that every conversation carries a hidden meaning. Taking lodgings with the Petrovitch household, Bohun is drawn into the intimate tensions of Nicolas and Vera Petrovitch and Vera's younger sister, Nina, whose restlessness mirrors a society straining against its old restraints. Through Bohun's friendship with John Durward and his growing entanglement with the family's shifting loyalties, Walpole traces how private desires collide with public upheaval. As winter closes in and the streets harden into suspicion and fear, the arrival of the unsettling uncle Semyonov signals that trouble is no longer distant news but something that can walk through the front door. Both a vivid portrait of Petrograd in crisis and a psychological study of belonging, faith, and self-deception, the novel asks what each person is really worshipping in the 'secret city' of the heart.
