The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer audiobook.
Genre: poetry
The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century (two of them in prose, the rest in verse). The tales, some of which are originals and others not, are contained inside a frame tale and told by a group of pilgrims on their way from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.
The themes of the tales vary, and include topics such as courtly love, treachery, and avarice. The genres also vary, and include romance, Breton lai, sermon, beast fable, and fabliau. The characters, introduced in the General Prologue of the book, tell tales of great cultural relevance.
The version read here was edited by D. Laing Purves (1838-1873) “for popular perusal” and the language is mostly updated.

The Secret of the Night by Gaston Leroux audiobook.
Genre: mystery
Gaston Leroux, perhaps best known as the author of The Phantom of the Opera in its novel form, was also the author of a popular series of mystery novels featuring a young journalist cum detective named Joseph Rouletabille. It is most likely that Leroux styled his hero after himself. Rouletabille was in the tradition of other great detectives who solved their cases by pure deductive reasoning. Much as Sherlock Holmes, who eliminated the impossible and concluded that whatever remained, however improbable must be the truth, Rouletabille included the known facts about the case and eliminated everything that was not a known fact, no matter how much it appeared to relate to the case. In The Secret of the Night, the names of the characters are often challengingly Russian and the plot involves, appropriately, both the Czar and the Nihilists.

Adam Bede by George Eliot audiobook.
Genre: drama
Set in the rural English Midlands in 1799, Adam Bede follows a community bound by labor, faith, and reputation. Adam, a skilled young carpenter, prides himself on steadiness and moral clarity as he works alongside his friends and family in the village of Hayslope. His quiet certainties are tested when he becomes entangled in a web of affection, expectation, and social pressure centered on two very different women: Hetty Sorrel, a beautiful and vain dairymaid whose hunger for admiration leads her toward dangerous choices, and Dinah Morris, a compassionate Methodist preacher whose uncommon vocation challenges the village's ideas about a woman's place. As private desires collide with public judgment, George Eliot traces how gossip, class, and religious conviction shape lives, and how one mistake can ripple through an entire community. With psychological depth and sharp social observation, the novel explores duty versus longing, the cost of self-deception, and the possibility of sympathy and moral growth amid hardship. Eliot's richly detailed world invites listeners to feel the rhythms of farm and workshop, the pull of conscience, and the fragile ties that hold people together when scandal threatens to tear them apart.
