Mathilda

Featured Listen
Frankenstein is widely considered one of the earliest and most influential works of science fiction. Written when Shelley was just 18 years old, the gothic tale explores themes of scientific hubris, the nature of humanity, and the consequences of creation. The novel has captivated readers for over 200 years and spawned countless adaptations across various forms of media.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.

Love has many forms, many needs. Some fall into the dark, into the shadows. Forbidden love has connotations of desire, of possession but also of matters far more unsavoury. It’s a delicate facet of love that our classic authors explain with careful words and superbly crafted narratives.
