Good Night… Whispers of the Heart is a collection of real love notes covering different themes, all thoughtfully composed for the private listening of a partner. What you find here are examples of love notes that could be found in bedrooms, safety deposit boxes, and even the proverbial 20th-21st century shoe boxes — all lost to time and rich in meaning.

Mary fears she’s losing the two people she most admires—her lover and her father—after she’s lost her reputation. She regains them with the publication of Frankenstein. As Scott is crafting his biography of the Shelleys and Godwins a century later, he fears that he’s losing his audience and his wife. He regains them with the publication of his other “work” he’s authoring at the same—The Great Gatsby. As eternal celebrities of Western culture—the Shelleys, the Godwins, and the Fitzgeralds—their brief victories are dramatically retold in What Light Was as dialogues, verse, and meditations.

The rebellion against British rule began in the mid-19th century and turned into the freedom struggle in 1857. Alongside Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent movement, armed revolutionaries also fought for independence. Among these brave martyrs, Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s name shines brightly in history. He sacrificed his life for the nation’s freedom. The letters he wrote to his family, friends, and leaders have been collected. These letters are presented by the Publication Department in this audiobook.

Bajo la forma de un diario personal, un quincuagenario de viaje por Florencia anota los episodios de un acontecimiento extraordinario para él: acaba de conocer a la hija de la que fue su amor de juventud casi treinta años antes, y a su pretendiente, un joven inglés, e intuye en esta relación la exacta repetición de su propia historia sentimental. ¿Logrará el narrador su propósito? ¿Producen las mismas causas los mismos efectos? ¿Tiene sentido proyectar nuestra propia vida en la de los demás?

Er schreibt es in sein Tagebuch! Was macht Stefan, wenn er zur Fahrprüfung mit dem falschen Bein aufsteht, wenn er sich beim Rangeln etwas bricht, wenn er beim Schrankaufbauen merkt, dass die Schublade fehlt, wenn er nachts nicht alleine ist und es plötzlich klingelt, wenn er überall nur noch Handtaschen sieht, wenn sein Praktikum bei Franka Stein zur Hölle wird, wenn seine neue WG nur aus Frauen besteht, wenn der kleine Spaziergang Stunden dauert oder wenn sein Keller einen Wasserschaden hat? Das beste Mittel gegen trübe Tage!

Inspired by a famed correspondence handbook penned by a persnickety Victorian who had strong opinions on how to lick a stamp, cultural critic Rachel Syme has rewritten the staid letter-writing rules of yore for the letter writers of today. Syme insists you must stuff your envelopes with flat frivolities (and includes guides for how to press flowers and make a matchbook-mark), teaches you how to perfume a parcel, and encourages you to cultivate your own ritual around keeping up with your correspondence.

John Clellon Holmes met Jack Kerouac on a hot New York City weekend in 1948, and until the end of Kerouac's life they were—in Holmes's words—"Brother Souls." Late one night as they sat talking, Kerouac spontaneously created the term "Beat Generation" to describe this new attitude they felt stirring around them. Brother-Souls: John Clellon Holmes, Jack Kerouac, and the Beat Generation is the remarkable chronicle of this cornerstone friendship and the life of John Clellon Holmes.

It's hard to get inside friendship: its particular intensity; its singular ease; the way it can wax and wane; its ability to cause uncommon pain. This is the territory of novels and letters, poems and graphic novels - which is where The Virago Book of Friendship steps in.
