Last Days of Pompeii by Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton audiobook.
Genre: history
Last Days of Pompeii is a novel written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1834. Once a very widely read book and now relatively neglected, it culminates in the cataclysmic destruction of the city of Pompeii by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The novel uses its characters to contrast the decadent culture of first-century Rome with both older cultures and coming trends. The protagonist, Glaucus, represents the Greeks who have been subordinated by Rome, and his nemesis Arbaces the still older culture of Egypt. Olinthus is the chief representative of the nascent Christian religion, which is presented favorably but not uncritically.

The Book of Dragons by Edith Nesbit audiobook.
Genre: fantasy
In The Book of Dragons, Edith Nesbit gathers a sparkling set of fantasy tales in which dragons are not distant legends but troublesome, tempting, and often very funny neighbors to the human world. Across these stories, curious children, stubborn adults, would-be heroes, and unlucky families stumble into encounters with beasts that breathe fire, freeze rivers, hoard treasure, or slip into everyday life in startling disguises. Each adventure begins with a small decision - a broken rule, a careless wish, a plan to be brave, or the belief that magic can be managed - and then follows the consequences as dragons upset households, kingdoms, and expectations. With her trademark blend of wit and warmth, Nesbit turns classic fairy-tale ingredients into something sharper and more surprising: courage is tested, cleverness matters as much as strength, and kindness can be as powerful as any sword. By turns mischievous and suspenseful, these stories invite listeners to delight in wonder while recognizing the hard truths beneath the enchantment: magic always has a price, and growing up often means learning which bargains to refuse.

![undefined - The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe ~ Full Audiobook [horror]](https://storage.googleapis.com/goodpods-images-bucket/episode_images/2f10dac3a8e9b55dff5f06c31d3cdc45ca886ca65f0c9dd106843cb69dd37c60.avif)
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe audiobook.
Genre: horror
When young Arthur Gordon Pym, a restless teenager in Nantucket, convinces his friend Augustus Barnard to help him stow away on a whaling voyage, he expects adventure - not a descent into terror. Hidden in the cramped hold of the Grampus, Pym is plunged into darkness, hunger, and delirium as the ship lurches into crisis. When disaster erupts above deck, he and a handful of survivors are forced into uneasy alliances, facing mutiny, brutal violence, and the thin line between courage and desperation. Cast adrift on an indifferent ocean, their struggle becomes a grim test of endurance as they chase uncertain rescue and reckon with what people will do to live. Yet survival only opens the door to stranger horizons. As Pym's journey carries him farther south into unknown seas, the familiar rules of navigation, nature, and human behavior begin to warp, and the expedition turns into an eerie exploration of the boundaries between fact and nightmare. Poe blends sea tale realism with mounting dread, building a voyage that is as much about the mind's extremes as the world's edge.
