The Scarlet Plague, by Jack London, was the first example of a post-apocalyptic fiction novel in modern literature. Set in a ravaged and wild America, the story takes place in 2073, 60 years after the spread of the Red Death, an uncontrollable epidemic that depopulated and nearly destroyed the world in 2013. One of the few survivors, James Howard Smith, alias “Granser”, tells his incredulous and near-savage grandsons how the pandemic spread in the world and about the reactions of the people to contagion and death.

Window in Thrums - the story of the "untrue son" - is about the fictional village of Thrums. The story and setting are widely acknowledged to be modelled on Barrie's home town of Kirriemuir. It was one of his earlier works which, along with Auld Licht Idylls, also published in 1889. The novel contains many memorable sketches and illuminations of Scottish life at the time, and it paved the way for the rest of Barrie's great career.

H.P. Lovecraft's most famous story in an amazing audio experience! “The Old Ones ruled the earth aeons before the rise of man. Traces of their cyclopean cities can still be found on remote islands, buried amid the shifting desert sands, and in the frozen wastes of the polar extremes. Originally they came to this world from the stars. They sleep now, some deep within the earth or beneath the sea. When the stars are right they shall again walk the earth.”

Esopo, il celebre favolista dell'antica Grecia, con molto acume, ironia e soprattutto talento, compose numerose favole dedicate soprattutto agli animali, con chiari riferimenti ai caratteri e alle abitudini degli esseri umani. Profondo osservatore degli uomini, catalogò sotto forma di favole, i vizi e le virtù dei suoi simili, con obiettività e sagacia. Impossibile non sorridere delle sue osservazioni sulle debolezze degli uomini, che nel suo immaginario, sono impersonati da scimmie, cavalli, muli, corvi, leoni e da tutti gli altri animali conosciuti a quel tempo, e non solo.

This collection of five short stories touches on themes and topics throughout the genre including zombies, superheroes, artificial intelligence, and the changing role of birthdays in the future. "Billy and the Zombies" is a story about a boy who spent most of his life preparing for a zombie apocalypse and now has to deal with one in real life. "Mom's Special Day" talks about an indeterminate future where birthdays have a much different meaning than they do today. "The Trial of WLQC-73" discusses what happens when we create computers that are as human as we are with all of our faults and failings. "The Heist" is a story about a future where Superheroes aren't as clean cut as our comic books show them to be. "Chance Encounters" describes what happens when a simple misunderstanding spirals out of control.

L'audiolibro Amore e Psiche è la più nota delle favole contenute in "Le metamorfosi" di Apuleio. Narra delle difficili e dolorose vicende di Psiche...

Questa favola, tratta dai "Racconti delle Fate" che Collodi ha tradotto dal francese, è poco conosciuta, ma molto bella, lunga e avventurosa. Il racconto, assieme a "La Gatta Bianca" e "La bella dai Capelli D'Oro", è stato originariamente scritto da Madame d'Aulnoy. Il titolo originale proposto nella traduzione di Collodi è "La Cervia Bianca".

Los principales personajes de la obra principal de Homero - Alquiles, Paris, Menelao, Agamenón, Héctor - han quedado inmortalizados a través de este grandioso drama épico, uno de los más impresionantes que se han escrito jamás. Aquiles, guerrero formidable de supuesta inmortalidad, se enfada con Agamenón, el rey aqueo, quien le quita una esclava y por eso deja de luchar. Aquiles le ruega a Zeus que los aqueos pierdan y así los troyanos comienzan a hostigarlos.

Questa favola, tratta dai "Racconti delle Fate", è forse la meno conosciuta e al tempo stesso una delle più belle e articolate di questa raccolta, che Collodi ha tradotto dal francese. "La Gatta Bianca", assieme a "L'uccello Turchino", la "La Cervia del Bosco" e "La bella dai Capelli D'Oro", sono state originariamente scritte da Madame d'Aulnoy.

Inizia con l'AudioBook del Primo e del Secondo Libro di "Le Metamorfosi" di Apuleio, un'avvincente avventura che racconta di magia; a volte le vicende spaventano, a volte meravigliano, a volte sono sensuali e esilaranti. Di sicuro questo straordinario e raro esempio di romanzo composto nell'antica Roma, è un documento storico di grande importanza: avvincente come un fantasy e interessante come un trattato storico, perché la vicenda si snoda nella società del tempo e evidenzia i modi di vivere dell'epoca, le usanze e le superstizioni della gente. Il nobile Lucio, il protagonista di questa epopea, narra in prima persona il suo viaggio fantastico nella magia, le sue vicissitudini, le trasformazioni e il cambiamento finale che non riguarderà solo il suo aspetto ma anche il suo animo.

Imagine a future in which traditional gender roles are reversed and men have quite literally become enslaved to the capricious whims of their female masters. Irving E. Cox created a masterpiece, a futuristic story where men, and not women, are marketable products in a matriarchal, and not patriarchal, society. The role reversal as propounded in this story sounds unthinkable in our times, but it sounds plausible at some point in the distant future. This story shows how love always is a major part of life...and how it can either aid or break someone.
