Master Flea by E. T. A. Hoffmann audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann (1776 – 1822), better known by his pen name E.T.A. Hoffmann (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann), was a German Romantic author of fantasy and horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. Hoffmann's stories were very influential during the 19th century, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement.

He is the subject and hero of Jacques Offenbach's famous but fictional opera The Tales of Hoffmann, and the author of the novelette The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which the famous ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppelia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote. Also Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on one of Hoffmann's characters.

Master Flea was published in 1822.

Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence ~ Full Audiobook [family]

Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence audiobook.

Genre: family

This intimate portrait of a coal-miner's family fastens on each member in turn: Walter Morel, the collier; Gertrude, his wife; and the children: William, Annie, Arthur, and Paul. When Mrs. Morel begins to be estranged from her husband because of his poor financial sense and his drinking habits, she comes to inhabit the lives of her children - most particularly, her sons. She is determined that they will grow to be something more than men that come home blackened with coal dust every day and roaring with drink every night. As each grows up and moves away, she must release him. But Paul, she holds; they have a bond that defies time and the attractions of young women.

Lawrence originally intended the book's title to be 'Paul Morel' and it is on this son - and his lovers - that he spends the bulk of his tale. The strong mother can make a success of her son, but if he cannot learn to leave his mother's apron strings, will he really be a better man than his father?

Crucial Instances by Edith Wharton audiobook.

Genre: drama

Crucial Instances is a keenly observed collection of short fiction in which Edith Wharton turns ordinary social rituals into high-stakes tests of character. Across a range of settings - drawing rooms, country estates, and the quietly charged spaces between husbands and wives - Wharton follows men and women caught at the exact moment when a single choice can reshape a life. A wife confronts the cost of loyalty and self-respect, an ambitious outsider learns what entry into polite society truly demands, and private desires press against public expectations with consequences that linger long after a conversation ends. With her trademark precision, Wharton examines class, marriage, money, reputation, and the subtle power struggles that govern seemingly refined worlds. Each story builds toward a decisive instant: a confession withheld, an invitation accepted, a truth recognized too late, or a moral line crossed almost imperceptibly. Elegant, psychologically sharp, and often quietly unsettling, Crucial Instances reveals how the smallest actions can become turning points - and how the most decisive battles are sometimes fought in silence.
