https://youtube.com/watch?v=fjZLjtB491Y
The book is about three families in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. The three families represent different gradations of the Edwardian middle class: the Wilcoxes, who are rich capitalists with a fortune made in the Colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings (Margaret, Tibby, and Helen), who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie and have a lot in common with the real-life Bloomsbury Group; and the Basts, a couple who are struggling members of the lower-middle class. The Schlegel sisters try to help the poor Basts and try to make the Wilcoxes less prejudiced. The motto of the book is “Only connect…” Howards End E. M.

G. Wells | Audiobook with subtitles
https://youtube.com/watch?v=TllJUxJ4bJs
A funny and touching account of the imaginative Mr. Polly who, bored and trapped in his conventional life, makes a U-turn –- and changes everything.H.G. Wells’ early life as the son of a semi-insolvent shopkeeper and as a draper’s apprentice fueled his novels of the lower middle class: The Wheels of Chance (1896), Kipps (1905), and The History of Mr. Polly (1910). These works evoke the desperation of apprentices, clerks, and small traders in their monotonous toil behind shop counters. And, like Mr. Polly, his protagonists make a break from their mundane lives with more or less success.H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific writer in history, general and science fiction, and politics. He was a lifelong socialist. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis) The History of Mr. Polly H. G.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=IfUbR4zrrEc
The fathers and children of the novel refers to the growing divide between the two generations of Russians, and the character Yevgeny Bazarov has been referred to as the “first Bolshevik”, for his nihilism and rejection of the old order.Turgenev wrote Fathers and Sons as a response to the growing cultural schism that he saw between liberals of the 1830s/1840s and the growing nihilist movement. Both the nihilists (the “sons”) and the 1830s liberals sought Western-based social change in Russia. Additionally, these two modes of thought were contrasted with the conservative Slavophiles, who believed that Russia’s path lay in its traditional spirituality.Fathers and Sons might be regarded as the first wholly modern novel in Russian Literature (Gogol’s Dead Souls, another main contender, is sometimes referred to as a poem or epic in prose as in the style of Dante’s Divine Comedy). The novel introduces a dual character study, as seen with the gradual breakdown of Bazarov’s and Arkady’s nihilistic opposition to emotional display, especially in the case of Bazarov’s love for Madame Odintsova and Fenichka. This prominent theme of character duality and deep psychological insight would exert an influence on most of the great Russian novels to come, most obviously echoed in the novels of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.The novel is also the first Russian work to gain prominence in the Western world, eventually gaining the approval of well established novelists Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant, and Henry James, proving that Russian literature owes much to Ivan Turgenev.

8 Super Useful Websites That Might Help You Get A Damn Thing Done
Soothing audio salvation for those who hate noise.
If you work in an open office, the struggle is real.
Noise is stressful. It hurts productivity and makes you miserable. For people who suffer from misophonia, noise can be a living nightmare.
Luckily, help is at hand. Ambient sounds like white noise create a buffer between your ears and your immediate environment, blocking out distractions without overwhelming the senses.
Not only that, but according to a study of 65 people published in the Journal of Consumer Research, listening to ambient noise of around 70dB can not only block out the hassle, but can make you more creative.
Whether you want to work or sleep in peace, here are a few websites you can use to drown out unwanted noise. They are best experienced with headphones:
1. Rainy Mood.
As any pluviophile will know, rain makes everything better. Rainy Mood is my go-to ambient noise app. The best part is they let you add a YouTube video to the URL and create your own rain/song mix with your favourite relaxing song – here’s one I made.
Perfect for: The anxiety-riddled / silencing Karen, who nobody fucking likes by the way, and who is determined to make you listen to every last fucking bite of whatever shitty lunch she’s smacking her mouth around at her desk. How do you not know you’re making that fucking noise, Karen?! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW?!
2. TM Soft White Noise Player.
For fans of white noise, White Noise Player offers a whole spectrum of colours to choose from; white, grey, brown, pink, blue, and violet, each a different frequency of noise. Choose one, or a combination of colours, and block out the ambient hassle.
Perfect for: The over-stimulated / when you’re about to murder the shit out of whoever is crinkling packets of chips right now I swear to fucking god I’ll kill every mother fucking last one of you.
3. Coffitivity.
Silence is figuratively deafening, and Coffitivity solves that problem by providing the relaxing background fugue of a coffee shop. There are several audio scenes to choose from, depending how many voices you want murmuring in the distance.
Perfect for: Hipsters / putting a damper on Mike the intern, who hits his fucking keyboard like each key is a repressed childhood trauma that he needs to punch to feel something. That fucking guy.
4. Simply Noise.
Does what it says on the tin, but with a neat trick. Select either white, pink, or brown noise, set your preferred volume, and hit the ‘oscillate’ button. Simply Noise will then adjust the volume in pleasing waves. You can even hit the sleep timer to turn it off if you plan to doze.
Perfect for: The highly caffienated / dulling the laughter of whoever the fuck in the room next door keeps laughing at their screen like it’s the funniest goddamn thing in the world. It isn’t. Fuck you, chuckles.
5. Rainy Cafe.
Like Rainy Mood and Coffitvity in one place, though providing fewer options.
Perfect for: The lazy browser / slight of tab / when June the temp is cracking her knuckles right in your fucking ear. Fuck off, June. Okay so it might not make you arthritic, but it does make insufferable.
Yes but is there an app? No.
6. Soundrown.
Find the sound of waves soothing? How about a crackling fire? Soundrown lets you create your own ambient orchestra, mixing together chatter, rain, birds, fire, and wave sounds to create your perfect productive atmosphere.
Perfect for: Daydreamers / Shutting down Hugh in HR, who has been nursing a fucking cough for the past six-months. What the fuck, Hugh? Is it tuberculosis? Cough yourself to death somewhere else, tosser.
Yes but is there an app? No.
7. MyNoise
Featuring dozens of sound options, from ambient nose, atmospheric noise, and voices, to sound patterns, tonal drones, and binaural tones (which are trippy as fuck), each with settings to change bass and treble pitch, MyNoise is a goddamn pro-level suite of auditory defense tools.
Perfect for: Meditative types / silencing the fuck out of Pam in accounts, who’s mouth-breathing makes you want to stab out your own eye balls with a fucking ball point pen.
Yes but is there an app? iOS.
8. FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY.
Some day you’re going to snap. All the clicking and the crunching and the tapping and the slurping and the coughing and the sniffling is going to get to goddamn much and you’re going to fucking snap. And when that happens you need to activate mother fucking Auditory Response Sound Emergency plan X, and listen to the greatest noise on the internet: a disco cover of Four Non-Blonde’s hit song “What’s up?” by He-Man and friends, because fuck if it isn’t just glorious.
Perfect for: When you’re standing alone in the blackest depths of your soul surrounded only by the maniacal laughter you can’t seem to stop bellowing from your throat, and the only hope left in this cold and desolate world of noise and confusion is to sing the fuck out of one of the greatest songs ever written / Fridays.
Yes but is there an app? NO BUT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY, YOU’VE GOT THIS.
Bonus: Here’s a 10-min mash-up I made of all the ambient noise websites at once:
Is it good? No. Are you going to listen to it anyway? Probably. Do we have to thank you personally? Yes.
