Although generally considered one of Portugal's greatest poets, Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (1888-1935) published but one book in Portuguese in his lifetime. That book, Message (Portuguese Mensagem), the esoteric epic at which he labored sporadically for more than 20 years before finally publishing it in the year prior to his death, is undoubtedly essential to an understanding of Pessoa's poetic vision, yet it remains, at least in the English-speaking world, relatively unknown and unread.

This audiobook begins on this wise, “I have read your letters, dearly beloved brother Valentine”.

Long before Oscar Diggs' balloon carried him off from the county fair to his destiny as a humbug wizard or a twister turned Dorothy Gale's farmhouse into a flying merry-go-round, Oz groaned under the tyranny of the Wicked Witches...the witches and their great enemy, Glinda the Good. For Glinda, nothing was more important than the destruction of the Wicked Witches.

The Pilot is in love with fighter planes, a beautiful woman, and Paris. He must choose one of the three. One choice would betray the woman he can't resist, who may be a spy or someone much more.

Though best known for his classic novel of Edwardian childhood The Go-Between, L. P. Hartley was also a master of supernatural and macabre fiction, the best of which is collected in The Travelling Grave and Other Stories.

Originally published in 1948 and long out of print, this collection features 12 of Hartley's best tales.
