Publisher's Summary:

Фантастический роман об устройстве реальности, невероятных горизонтах утопии и, конечно же, о любви. Алину, в прошлом подающего надежды ученого в области искусственного интеллекта, внезапно приглашают принять участие в странном эксперименте: ей предстоит вступить в контакт с созданием высшего разума по имени Елена. Исследовательское взаимодействие оборачивается чем-то неизмеримо большим. Тем, кто способен выдержать ее «нейрошторм», машина Елена меняет сознание и открывает совершенно новую картину мироздания. Роман, который начинается как научная фантастика, быстро пересекает границы жанра и литературных норм, превращаясь в новаторский, взрывной, проникновенный текст о жизни, вселенной, человеческом восприятии, разуме и чувствах. Эту сложносоставную, расширяющую границы сознания историю прочувствованно и мастерски пересказала актриса Мария Орлова. Внимание! Фонограмма содержит нецензурную брань.

Title: [Russian] - Кризис самоопределения

Author: бен элтон

Narrator: кирилл радциг

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 58 minutes

Release date: June 17, 2024

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

В романе «Кризис самоопределения» Бен Элтон возвращается к читателю в своем несравненном амплуа сатирика с кинематографическим зрением. Эта книга — бескомпромиссный роман об «эпохе оскорбленных», в которую мы живем. Мы и не заметили, как миллионы людей начали круглосуточно выяснять отношения, обижаться на то и на это, оскорбляться по поводу, без повода и просто для удовольствия. В социальных сетях нынче сплошное кровопролитие. Сдвинув время всего на несколько лет вперед, Элтон моделирует возможное развитие событий в Британии в ближайшем будущем, и по его версии, кровопролитие запросто может выплеснуться из проводов на тротуары. Скотленд-Ярд, референдум по выходу Англии из состава Королевства, международные махинации и вмешательства в дела суверенных демократий, все цвета спектра гендерной радуги, MeToo, убийства, самоубийства, интернет, телевидение — вот лишь немногие хештеги, по которым запомнится этот роман. Элтон не дает пощады лицемерам всех мастей, которые, похоже, захватили политику, социальные сети, СМИ и шоу-бизнес. «Эта книга провокационная в том смысле, что в ней говорится о том, как мы все становимся все более изолированными. Мой роман вовсе не обвинение какой-либо группы людей. Но природа дискуссий в интернете такова, что превращает любое разногласие в войну, где есть только свои и чужие, и каждый должен занять позицию по одну сторону фронта… Для меня комедия – это прекрасный способ изучить какую-то идею. Несмотря на все мое разочарование миром, в котором мы сегодня живем, я остаюсь оптимистом». — Бэн Элтон Внимание! Фонограмма содержит нецензурную брань.

Title: A May Night

Author: Nikolai Gogol

Narrator: Joe Phoenix

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 5 minutes

Release date: June 17, 2024

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

'May Night, or the Drowned Maiden', 1831 is the third tale in the collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol. It was made into the opera May Night by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1878–79 and also a Ukrainian setting by Mykola Lysenko. This story comes from the unnamed story-teller (who was previously responsible for 'The Fair at Sorochyntsi'). In this tale, a young Cossack named Levko, the son of the mayor, is in love with Hanna. He comes to her house to talk about marriage and mentions that his father is not pleased with the idea, though he doesn't say anything directly and merely ignores him. As they are walking on the outskirts of the village, Hanna asks about an old hut with a moss-covered roof and overgrown apple trees surrounding it. He tells her the story of a beautiful young girl whose father took care of her after her mother died and loved her dearly. Eventually, he married another woman who she discovered was a witch when she cut the paw of a cat that tried to kill her and her stepmother appeared soon after with her hand bandaged. The witch had power over her father, however, and eventually she is thrown out of the house and throws herself into the nearby pond in despair. She reigns over a group of maidens who also drowned in the pond, but once, when she got a hold of the witch as she was near the pond, she turned into a maiden and the ghost of the young girl has been unable to pick her out of the group ever since, asking any young man she comes upon to guess for her...

Title: The Cloak

Author: Nikolai Gogol

Narrator: Joe Phoenix

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 21 minutes

Release date: June 17, 2024

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

'The Cloak' (sometimes translated as 'Overcoat') is a short story by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842. The story and its author have had great influence on Russian literature, as expressed in a quote attributed to Fyodor Dostoyevsky: 'We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'.' The story narrates the life and death of titular councillor Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, an impoverished government clerk and copyist in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Akaky is dedicated to his job, though little recognized in his department for his hard work. Instead, the younger clerks tease him and attempt to distract him whenever they can. His threadbare overcoat is often the butt of their jokes. Akaky decides it is necessary to have the coat repaired, so he takes it to his tailor, Petrovich, who declares the coat irreparable, telling Akaky he must buy a new overcoat. The cost of a new overcoat is beyond Akaky's meager salary, so he forces himself to live within a strict budget to save sufficient money to buy the new overcoat. Meanwhile, he and Petrovich frequently meet to discuss the style of the new coat. During that time, Akaky's zeal for copying is replaced with excitement about his new overcoat, to the point that he thinks of little else. Finally, with the addition of an unexpectedly large holiday salary bonus, Akaky has saved enough money to buy a new overcoat.

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 28 minutes

Release date: June 17, 2024

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

'The Viy' is a horror novella by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, first published in the first volume of his collection of tales entitled Mirgorod (1835). The title is also the name of the demonic entity central to the plot. Every summer, there is usually a large procession of all the students moving around the area as they travel home. However, the group is reduced to three students: the theologian Khaliava, the philosopher Khoma Brut, and the rhetorician Tibery Gorobets. As the night draws in, the students hope to find a village near the main road where they can find some rest and food. However, they become lost in the wilderness, eventually coming upon two small houses and a farm. An older woman there tells them she has a little room and cannot accommodate any more travelers, but she eventually agrees to let them stay. At night, the woman comes to Khoma. At first, he thinks she is trying to seduce him, but then she draws closer and he sees that her eyes are glowing strangely. She leaps on his back, and he reluctantly finds himself galloping with her all over the countryside with a strength he previously never knew. He eventually slows the witch by chanting exorcisms out loud, and then rides on her back and later picks up a piece of wood and beats her as punishment. The older woman later collapses, and he discovers she has turned into a beautiful girl. Khoma runs away to Kyiv and resumes his easy life, when a rumor reaches his dean that a rich cossack's daughter was found crawling home near death, her last wish being for Khoma the philosopher to come and read psalms over her corpse for three nights after her death.

Release date: June 17, 2024

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Memoirs of a Madman or Diary of a Madman is a farcical short story by Nikolai Gogol. Along with The Overcoat and The Nose, Diary of a Madman is considered to be one of Gogol's greatest short stories.  The tale centers on the life of a minor civil servant during the repressive era of Nicholas I. Following the format of a diary, the story shows the descent of the protagonist, Poprishchin, into insanity. Diary of a Madman, the only one of Gogol's works written in first person, follows diary-entry format.  Diary of a Madman centres on the life of Poprishchin, a low-ranking civil servant and titular counsellor who yearns to be noticed by a beautiful woman, the daughter of a senior official, with whom he has fallen in love. Sophie, the daughter of his boss, with whom he has fallen in love. As he said in his first sight of her, just after being a beast of a civil servant himself, 'A footman opened the carriage door and out she fluttered, just like a little bird.' Nothing comes of this love he feels for her; Sophie is effectively unaware of him. His diary records his gradual slide into insanity.
