Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad audiobook.

Genre: adventure

A classic of early literary modernism, Lord Jim tells the story of a young 'simple and sensitive character' who loses his honor in a display of cowardice at sea -- and of his expiation of that sin against his own 'shadowy ideal of conduct' on the remote island of Patusan. The novel, written by Conrad for magazine serialization during an intense and chaotic ten months in 1899 and 1900, has, in the words of Thomas C. Moser, 'the rare distinction of being a masterpiece in two separate genres. It is at once an exotic adventure story of the Eastern seas in the popular tradition of Kipling and Stevenson and a complexly wrought 'art novel' in the tradition of Flaubert and James.

Ashton-Kirk, Investigator by John Thomas McIntyre audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Ashton-Kirk, who has solved so many mysteries, is himself something of a problem even to those who know him best. Although young, wealthy, and of high social position, he is nevertheless an indefatigable worker in his chosen field. He smiles when men call him a detective. 'No; only an investigator,' he says.

He has never courted notoriety; indeed, his life has been more or less secluded. However, let a man do remarkable work in any line and, as Emerson has observed, 'the world will make a beaten path to his door.'

Those who have found their way to Ashton-Kirk's door have been of many races and interests. Men of science have often been surprised to find him in touch with the latest discoveries, scholars searching among strange tongues and dialects, and others deep in tattered scrolls, ancient tablets and forgotten books have been his frequent visitors. But among them come many who seek his help in solving problems in crime.

'I'm more curious than some other fellows, that's all,' is the way he accounts for himself. 'If a puzzle is put in front of me I can't rest till I know the answer.' At any rate his natural bent has always been to make plain the mysterious; each well hidden step in the perpetration of a crime has always been for him an exciting lure; and to follow a thread, snarled by circumstances or by another intelligence has been, he admits, his chief delight.

There are many strange things to be written of this remarkable man--but this, the case of the numismatist Hume, has been selected as the first because it is one of the simplest, and yet clearly illustrates Ashton-Kirk's peculiar talents. It will also throw some light on the question, often asked, as to how his cases come to him.

Typhoon by Joseph Conrad audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Joseph Conrad's Typhoon is a taut sea tale set aboard the steamship Nan-Shan as it carries a cargo of rice and a deck packed with hundreds of Chinese laborers across the waters of Southeast Asia. Its master, Captain MacWhirr, is a practical, literal-minded man who values routine and clear rules over imagination or flair. With him is Jukes, an ambitious young officer still learning what command truly costs. When ominous weather gathers into a full, merciless typhoon, the ship is driven into a struggle that tests not only seamanship but character. As wind and sea batter the Nan-Shan, order threatens to collapse below decks and on deck alike, where fear, misunderstanding, and greed can be as dangerous as the storm itself. Conrad follows the crew's efforts to keep the vessel afloat while confronting the human chaos that the disaster exposes. Both an intense survival narrative and a sharp study of duty, leadership, and resilience, Typhoon asks what steadiness really means when nature and human nature collide.
