The Autobiography of Charles Darwin by Charles Darwin audiobook.
Genre: biography
The Autobiography of Charles Darwin is the autobiography of the British naturalist Charles Darwin which was published in 1887, five years after his death.
Darwin wrote the book, which he entitled Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character, for his family. He states that he started writing it on about May 28, 1876 and had finished it by August 3.
The book was edited by Charles Darwin's son Francis Darwin, who removed several passages about Darwin's critical views of God and Christianity (see Charles Darwin's views on religion). It was published in London by John Murray as part of The life and letters of Charles Darwin, including an autobiographical chapter.
The omitted passages were later restored by Darwin's granddaughter Nora Barlow in a 1958 edition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Origin. This edition was published in London by Collins under the title of The Autobiography of Charles Darwin 1809-1882. With the original omissions restored. Edited and with appendix and notes by his granddaughter Nora Barlow.

George Washington by Calista McCabe Courtenay audiobook.
Genre: biography
Written for younger readers as part of the Makers of American History series, Calista McCabe Courtenay's George Washington traces the rise of a quiet Virginia boy into the public figure who would help shape a new nation. The story begins with Washington's early life and training in discipline and responsibility, then follows him into the wilderness as a teenage surveyor learning endurance, practical leadership, and the value of clear judgment. As tensions grow on the frontier, Washington is drawn into military service during the French and Indian War, where difficult marches, uneasy alliances, and hard lessons test his resolve. Courtenay then turns to the American Revolution, focusing on Washington as Commander-in-Chief, navigating shortages, setbacks, and the constant pressure of holding an inexperienced army together against a powerful enemy. In the final section, the book examines Washington's transition from war leader to statesman, as the country looks to him to guide an untried republic through its earliest political and financial challenges. With an emphasis on character, civic virtue, and steady perseverance, this biography presents Washington as a model of duty under pressure and leadership in uncertain times.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens audiobook.
Genre: drama
Born into poverty and raised under the cold machinery of England's workhouse system, young orphan Oliver Twist begins life with little more than his name and a stubborn sense of decency. When a desperate plea for more food marks him as a troublemaker, Oliver is thrust from one harsh institution to another, until he escapes to London in search of something kinder. Instead, he stumbles into the orbit of a gang of child pickpockets led by the cunning, charismatic Fagin and watched over by the violent, unpredictable Bill Sikes. Caught between the city's criminal underworld and the possibility of honest refuge, Oliver becomes the center of a struggle he barely understands - a struggle involving hidden motives, dangerous loyalties, and the question of whether a boy's innocence can survive in a world built to exploit it. As Oliver's past begins to cast a long shadow over his present, the people around him must decide what they are willing to risk for compassion, survival, and justice. Dickens blends suspense, dark humor, and social outrage into a vivid portrait of childhood, crime, and conscience in Victorian London.
