    Gaban - Munshi Premchand - गबन - मुंशी प्रेमचंद 
    Listen to Gaban, the iconic Hindi novel by Munshi Premchand, in audiobook form. A gripping tale of greed, morality, and middle-class struggles in pre-independence India. 
    "Gaban" (गबन) by Munshi Premchand is one of the most celebrated novels in Hindi literature, originally published in 1931. This Hindi audiobook version brings to life a gripping story that explores greed, deception, social pressure, and moral conflict in British-era India. 
    The novel revolves around Ramanath, a young man from the middle class, who tries to maintain a false image of wealth for his wife Jalpa. In doing so, he gets entangled in dishonesty and crime, eventually facing the consequences of his actions. Premchand skillfully highlights the psychological struggle and societal expectations that drive a man toward moral downfall. 
    This classic story captures the complex realities of middle-class Indian life, social norms, and the emotional dynamics between husband and wife. Gaban remains relevant today, offering a mirror to our ongoing conflicts with materialism and societal image. 
    Perfect for fans of Indian literature, moral fiction, and those who enjoy stories with social commentary, this audiobook is a must-listen.

    The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.
    
    Some Damn Fool's Signed the Rubens Again is Thelwell's look at life in Britain's stately homes, and what happens when they are opened to the public. Here are the castles, country estates, and the quirks of the British class system all depicted in the artist's inimitable style.
    
    When an ancestral home is crumbling, or an aristocratic family is debt-ridden, the solution calls for drastic action. It is time to welcome in the paying public. Thelwell's cartoons capture the comic situations that result when the noble residents come face to face with the curious visitors. See the duke in his tower preparing to repel the coachloads with boiling oil; a ghost train in the family vault; toddlers wrecking treasured heirlooms; and animals in the safari park watching the hilarious human spectacle unfold.

    “By turns heartbreaking and heart-swelling, this is the story of a working-class boy overcoming grinding violence to play among the rock gods. Every hopeless boy should read it.” - Caitlin Moran 
    Jack Jones is a wordsmith with a guitar. Best known as the singer and guitarist of TRAMPOLENE and lead guitarist with Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres, his work blends spoken word, raw honesty, and melodic power. 
    TRAMPOLENE’s fierce, poetic rock ’n’ roll has won the admiration of The Libertines, Liam Gallagher, and John Cooper Clarke, with two No.1 Independent Albums and the honour of opening Swansea Arena in 2022. 
    Jack’s story is one of survival and defiance. By five he had survived a bone tumour and begun to see the cracks in the world; by sixteen he was living with Crohn’s Disease. Through it all, the constants have been his blistering guitar and his poetry - about the struggles and dreams of everyday life, about love, adversity, growing up in Swansea, and seeing the world as it is. 
    “Jack Jones’ words light up the printed page like magnesium released into oxygen.” - Pete Paphides 
    This audiobook gathers that same voice - sharp, funny, vulnerable, and unflinchingly real.
