Sinopse

An African-American author, essayist and political activist, Charles W. Chesnutt is best known for his novels and short stories exploring complex issues of racial and social identity in the post-Civil War South. Today, Chesnutt is recognised as a major innovator in the tradition of Afro American fiction, who was an important contributor to the deromanticizing of post-Civil War southern literature and a singular voice among turn-of-the-century realists to depict the color line in American life.

Locked in his desk for 25 years, What Is Man? was Twain's most serious, philosophical, and private work. The narrative appears in the form of a Socratic dialogue between a romantic young idealist and an elderly cynic. The pair debate issues of mankind, such as whether man is free to act or is more of a machine, whether personal merit is meaningless given how the environment shapes us, and if man truly has impulses other than to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. An unflinching critic of human affection, a bittersweet humorist, and a master of comic asides, Mark Twain speaks to us across time with verve and wisdom in this rare work. This recording is performed by comedy legend Carl Reiner, a recipient of the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is one of Jules Verne's most iconic and visionary novels. It follows the journey of Professor Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and Canadian harpooner Ned Land as they are taken aboard the mysterious submarine Nautilus, commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. What begins as a mission to investigate a sea monster turns into a deep-sea odyssey through a world of underwater wonders, shipwrecks, lost civilizations, and the hidden forces of nature.With rich imagination and early science-fiction brilliance, Verne explores the limits of technology and the depths of the ocean long before submarines were a reality. The novel is not only an adventure tale but also a philosophical reflection on freedom, vengeance, and isolation beneath the waves. It remains a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers and creators around the world.
