Robinson Crusoe by Daniel DeFoe audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Daniel Defoe’s The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner (1719) is considered by many the first English novel. Based on the real-life experiences of the castaway Alexander Selkirk, the book has had a perennial appeal among readers of all ages-–especially the young adult reading public–-who continue to find inspiration in the inventive resourcefulness of its hero, sole survivor of a shipwreck who is marooned on an uninhabited island.

Especially poignant, after more than two decades of unbroken solitude, is the affection that Robinson develops for Friday, another survivor fleeing certain death at the hands of enemy tribesmen from the South American continent.

The Sayings of Confucius by Confucius audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

The Sayings of Confucius gathers the brief, vivid teachings of Kong Fuzi - known in the West as Confucius - as remembered and recorded by his students and later followers. Set against an age of political fragmentation and social uncertainty, these compact dialogues, aphorisms, and observations offer a practical path for restoring order from the inside out: through self-cultivation, disciplined study, and an unwavering commitment to humane conduct. Confucius speaks to rulers and ordinary people alike, insisting that good government begins with character, that ceremony and tradition can shape virtue, and that family loyalty, friendship, and integrity are not private matters but the foundation of a stable society. Across topics like education, leadership, speech, justice, and the everyday habits that reveal a person’s heart, the book challenges listeners to measure themselves honestly and to choose the harder, steadier work of becoming good. More than a collection of maxims, it is a guide to living with dignity, restraint, and compassion - and to building a world where respect and responsibility are practiced, not merely praised.

Queen Lucia by E. F. Benson audiobook.

Genre: comedy

E. F. Benson was born at Wellington College in Berkshire, where his father, who later went on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury, was the first Headmaster. He wrote 105 books in all.

Queen Lucia (first published in 1920) was the first of Benson’s ‘Mapp and Lucia’ novels of which there were six. This first book is a comedy of manners based in the provincial village of Riseholme, where Emmeline Lucas (the Queen Lucia of the title) presides over the social and artistic universe of the gullible residents. Her aide-de-camp in these matters is the somewhat effete Georgie Pillson and the chief competitor for her ‘crown’ is Daisy Quantock. The scandal of the Guru, the psychical goings on with Princess Popoffski and the arrival into the sleepy village of a famous Prima Donna all conspire to threaten her supremacy...
