A raw, honesty book of poetry about love in all its shapes.

Vis and Ramin is one of the world's great love stories. It was the first major Persian romance, written between 1050 and 1055 in rhyming couplets. This remarkable work has now been superbly translated into heroic couplets (the closest metrical equivalent of the Persian) by the poet and scholar Dick Davis. Vis and Ramin had immense influence on later Persian poetry and is very probably also the source for the tale of Tristan and Isolde, which first appeared in Europe about a century later.

Bernadette is a rural country girl like any other. She has grown up in a good family, is true in her faith, and is popular among her friends.

All that changes when she makes a disturbing find one that threatens to send her to the place she fears above all others.

"Je vous souhaite d’être follement aimée", écrivait André Breton. Dans ce recueil de poèmes qui constituent autant de microfictions incandescentes, publiées au fil des années sur Instagram, Nicolas Mathieu dessine les visages de cet amour fou et donne à voir un monde de coïncidences, d’analogies et de banalités transformées en trésors : les villes entrevues, la mer, les rencontres et les commencements, le désespoir et les joies, le bonheur intenable, les saisons, les matins au lit et les dîners avortés, les gueules de bois, l’attente, la désertion, l’enfance et la fin qui viendra.

An Engineer's Book of Poetry describes the struggle and strife of an undergraduate engineering student, trying to build beautiful things in a burnt-up world. This book was inspired by the mean, old, engineering professors who taught me the dynamics of fluids, the heat of thermodynamics, and the mechanics of machines. It is derived from real-world situations, and kind TAs who helped me pass classes. The road from wanting to be an engineer to becoming one is long; this audiobook describes my incomplete journey. It is both advice, warning, and motivation for young engineers.

Silence is rare in Nature. When we really listen, Nature is conducting symphonies of sound as her world goes about the day and night. Her invisible heartbeat is everywhere, for everyone. Our eyes are constantly bathed in the wonder of her ways, the soft drizzle of rain from soft grey clouds, the bleached harsh desert sand of a noon day, a wave caressing the shore, to the ravenous colours of a departing sunset. Indeed, whenever we look and listen to the vastness of our world Nature’s beauty is always there for us..
