Genres: Fairy Tales & Folklore

Publisher's Summary:

When John Harvey’s watch stops working on the morning of February 3rd, 1987, he has an epiphany. It occurs to him that every personal trauma he is trying to forget has had one thing in common: they all occurred at some point on the face of that very watch. The loss of his job, the death of his child, Zola’s suicide, all contained right there in that tiny circle of finite numbers. So he smashes the watch. Problem solved. But when John steps out the door to make his daily trek to the local bar as a man newly freed from the tyrannies of time, he is met by a snowstorm that renders him completely blind, and a walk that should have taken just a few minutes begins to feel like years. Because as John Harvey wanders alone through the snow with no sun nor sign to guide him, the twenty-eight year old misanthrope is confronted by the vivid manifestation of every ghost he has devoted his lonely life to avoiding. In the storm he is forced to finally accept the suffering he has been hiding from. In the storm he is forced to understand that the only thing worse than never truly seeing is never truly being seen. In the storm he is forced, for once, to watch.

Since its publication in 1819, the story has become part of American pop culture and has been adapted many times for stage, film, radio, and television.

Publisher's Summary:

The definitive English language translation of the internationally bestselling Russian novel—a brilliant dark fantasy with ''the potential to be a modern classic'' (Lev Grossman), combining psychological suspense, enchantment, and terror that makes us consider human existence in a fresh and provocative way. Our life is brief . . . While vacationing at the beach with her mother, Sasha Samokhina meets the mysterious Farit Kozhennikov under the most peculiar circumstances. The teenage girl is powerless to refuse when this strange and unusual man with an air of the sinister directs her to perform a task with potentially scandalous consequences. He rewards her effort with a strange golden coin. As the days progress, Sasha carries out other acts for which she receives more coins from Kozhennikov. As summer ends, her domineering mentor directs her to move to a remote village and use her gold to enter the Institute of Special Technologies. Though she does not want to go to this unknown town or school, she also feels it’s the only place she should be. Against her mother’s wishes, Sasha leaves behind all that is familiar and begins her education. As she quickly discovers, the institute’s ''special technologies'' are unlike anything she has ever encountered. The books are impossible to read, the lessons obscure to the point of maddening, and the work refuses memorization. Using terror and coercion to keep the students in line, the school does not punish them for their transgressions and failures; instead, their families pay a terrible price. Yet despite her fear, Sasha undergoes changes that defy the dictates of matter and time; experiences which are nothing she has ever dreamed of . . . and suddenly all she could ever want. A complex blend of adventure, magic, science, and philosophy that probes the mysteries of existence, filtered through a distinct Russian sensibility, this astonishing work of speculative fiction—brilliantly translated by Julia Meitov Hersey—is reminiscent of modern classics such as Lev Grossman’s The Magicians, Max Barry’s Lexicon, and Katherine Arden’s The Bear and the Nightingale, but will transport them to a place far beyond those fantastical worlds.

Title: The Life of Prophet Hud (Eber)

Author: Jannah Firdaus Mediapro

Narrator: Maghfirah Maulany Aqmarina

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 16 minutes

Release date: November 7, 2018

Genres: Fairy Tales & Folklore

Publisher's Summary:

Prophet Hud (Eber) was a prophet of ancient Arabia mentioned in The Holy Qur'an. The eleventh chapter of The Holy Quran, Hud, is named after him, though the narrative of Hud comprises only a small portion of the chapter. Prophet Hud (Pbuh) has sometimes been identified with Eber, an ancestor of the Israelites who is mentioned in the Old Testament. The people of 'Ad lived many years in the windswept hills of an area between Yemen and Oman. They were physically well built and renowned for their craftsmanship especially in the construction of tall buildings with lofty towers. They were outstanding among all the nations in power and wealth, which, unfortunately, made them arrogant and boastful. Their political power was held in the hand of unjust rulers, against whom no one dared to raise a voice. They were not ignorant of the existence of Allah SWT (God), nor did they refuse to worship Him. What they did refuse was to worship Allah SWT alone. They worshipped other gods, also, including idols. This is one sin Allah SWT (God) does not forgive. Allah SWT wanted to guide and discipline these people so He sent a prophet from among them. This prophet was Prophet Hud (Eber), a noble man who handled this task with great resoluteness and tolerance.
