Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman audiobook.
Genre: poetry
American poet Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, is a collection of poems notable for its frank delight in and praise of the senses, during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.
Whitman was inspired to begin Leaves of Grass after reading an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson which expressed a need for a uniquely American poet. When the book was first published, Whitman sent a copy to Emerson, whose praiseful letter of response helped launch the book to success. Whitman’s hero, Abraham Lincoln, read and enjoyed an early version of Leaves of Grass. Despite such high recommendations, Whitman faced charges of obscenity and immorality for his work, but this only led to increased popularity of the book.
Whitman continually revised and republished Leaves of Grass throughout his lifetime, notably adding the “Drum-Taps” section after Lincoln’s assassination. The book grew from 12 poems in its first publication, which Whitman paid for and typeset himself, to nearly 400 poems in its final, “Death Bed Edition.” This recording is of the final edition.

The Adventures of Maya the Bee by Waldemar Bonsels audiobook.
Genre: adventure
In The Adventures of Maya the Bee, Waldemar Bonsels invites listeners into a bright and bustling world where every flower hides a secret and every flight beyond the hive brings a new lesson. Maya is a curious young honeybee who cannot resist exploring what lies past the familiar order of her home. Restless and independent, she leaves the safety of the hive to discover the meadow, the forest, and the wide community of insects that live by their own rules. Along the way she meets a cast of memorable creatures, from helpful guides to sly opportunists, and she must learn how to tell friendship from flattery, danger from excitement, and freedom from loneliness. As Maya grows braver and wiser, her adventures begin to reveal a larger conflict: the natural world is full of rivalries and threats, and the hive she left behind may need more than honey to survive. Blending lively encounters with gentle moral questions about responsibility, belonging, and courage, this classic tale follows Maya as she searches for her place in a world that is both enchanting and perilous.

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins audiobook.
Genre: mystery
The story concerns a young woman called Rachel Verinder who inherits a large Indian diamond, the Moonstone, on her eighteenth birthday.
The book is widely regarded as the precursor of the modern mystery and suspense novels. T. S. Eliot called it 'the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels'. It contains a number of ideas which became common tropes of the genre: a large number of suspects, red herrings, a crime being investigated by talented amateurs who happen to be present when it is committed, and two police officers who exemplify respectively the 'local bungler' and the skilled, professional, Scotland Yard detective.
