It opens in 1491, on the eve of the fall of Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Iberia, and follows the household of Abu Jaafar, a Granadan bookbinder, across five generations as their world is slowly, systematically dismantled.\n\nThrough the family's marriages, births, and losses, the trilogy traces what it meant to live through conquest: the broken promises of the victors, the public burning of Arabic books, forced baptism and the banning of language and dress, the terror of the Inquisition, and the final expulsion of the Moriscos. Some of Abu Jaafar's descendants try to assimilate and survive in silence; others join the doomed resistance in the mountains; the healer Saleema pays a terrible price for her learning; and each must decide how to hold on to faith, memory, and identity as everything familiar is stripped away.\n\nComprising the novels Granada, Maryama, and Departure, Ashour's trilogy is a landmark of modern Arabic literature—an intimate, elegiac meditation on loss, resilience, and cultural erasure, told with quiet lyricism and deep historical feeling.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfh06x5zgvzzppeqfpny5yc.jpg","LWIzRyo04=s.}:oetPaz=vazX8a|",1994,"3.75",502,[103,107],{"id":104,"slug":105,"name":106},"01kkfh06wx5sw8qjd435dpwpjx","radwa-ashour-fbup","Radwa Ashour",{"id":108,"slug":109,"name":110},"01kkfh06x2v8wcdv9qdwd81cvr","rdo-aaashor-xfct","رضوى عاشور",[112,113,114,115],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",[120],{"id":121,"slug":122,"name":123,"position":124,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfh06y120bvxmatsvmfc50w","the-granada-trilogy-g7bv","The Granada Trilogy","1.00",{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":126,"themes":129,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[127,128],"melancholic","reflective",[130],"family-saga",{"id":132,"slug":133,"title":134,"description":135,"primary_cover_url":136,"cover_blurhash":137,"first_publish_year":138,"community_rating_avg":139,"community_rating_count":140,"page_count":141,"authors":142,"genres":147,"series":170,"enrichment":171},"01kjq7bthh94zzmtmt5cyqaf85","animal-farm-os5r","Animal Farm","When the mistreated animals of Manor Farm rise up and drive out their drunken human owner, they establish a new order founded on a single, hopeful principle: all animals are equal. Led by the pigs, the most clever of the animals, the farm is renamed and the beasts set about running their world for their own benefit.\n\nBut power reshapes those who hold it. As the ambitious boar Napoleon consolidates control, the founding ideals are quietly rewritten, dissent is punished, and the promises of the revolution curdle into a tyranny that looks unsettlingly like the one it replaced. The other animals, loyal and hardworking, struggle to remember how things were meant to be.\n\nGeorge Orwell's short, savage fable uses a barnyard uprising to trace how revolutions are betrayed, how language is bent to serve power, and how easily the many can be ruled by the few. First published in 1945, it remains one of the most enduring political allegories ever written.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7btjcxa4vbtavepan6rde.jpg","LFH.l;Hb8^{;81w~IXwO#^xUquO;",1997,"4.37",14,80,[143],{"id":144,"slug":145,"name":146},"01kjq7bthq3tev7x356jr612gb","george-orwell-8s8n","George Orwell",[148,149,150,154,158,162,166,169],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":18},94,"Animals","animals",{"id":155,"name":156,"slug":157,"is_fiction":19},28,"Dystopian","dystopian",{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":19},118,"Satire","satire",{"id":163,"name":164,"slug":165,"is_fiction":19},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":89,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":19},"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":172,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":173,"themes":174,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[78,128],[],{"id":176,"slug":177,"title":178,"description":179,"primary_cover_url":180,"cover_blurhash":181,"first_publish_year":182,"community_rating_avg":183,"community_rating_count":184,"page_count":185,"authors":186,"genres":195,"series":207,"enrichment":208},"01kjqxgrxx8nwv7ch69fywx6kq","the-catcher-in-the-rye-6goi","The Catcher in the Rye","Since its publication in 1951, J. D. Salinger's only novel has become one of the defining portraits of adolescent alienation in American literature. Over the course of a few restless winter days, sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield narrates his flight from Pencey Prep — the latest boarding school to expel him — into the streets of New York City, where he drifts from hotel bars to Central Park, from an old teacher's apartment to a carousel in the rain, unwilling to go home and face his parents.\n\nHolden's voice is the novel's engine: caustic, funny, evasive, and quietly grieving. He rails against the \"phoniness\" of the adult world while circling the losses he can barely name — chief among them the death of his younger brother — and clings to a fantasy of protecting childhood innocence, imagining himself as the \"catcher in the rye\" who keeps children from falling off a cliff.\n\nA landmark of postwar fiction and a perennial fixture of banned-book lists, The Catcher in the Rye endures because Holden's confusion, tenderness, and refusal to grow up still read as painfully honest. It is a short, deceptively simple book about depression, connection, and the terror of leaving childhood behind.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktfjh91467zf34j97snhn4z0.jpg?v=14021383c2","LGJ%]:9ZR.s:~TR-WBofA0n$s,j=",1951,"4.00",6,256,[187,191],{"id":188,"slug":189,"name":190},"01kjqxgs07cx76zherew1q7czv","shao-jia-yun-b2ex","Shao jia yun",{"id":192,"slug":193,"name":194},"01kjqxgryhnattzqhsc3cmzvr2","j-d-salinger-bxn6","J.

When the wealthy Mr. Bingley takes a nearby house for the season, hopes rise, but it is his proud, reserved friend Mr. Darcy who unsettles the household most.\n\nAt the center is Elizabeth Bennet, quick-witted, independent, and confident in her judgments. Her first impressions of Darcy are unflattering, and his of her family are dismissive. What follows is a comedy of misread motives, wounded pride, and stubborn prejudice, unravelled slowly through letters, misunderstandings, and second looks as Elizabeth and Darcy each learn how badly they have misjudged the other.\n\nJane Austen's most beloved novel is a sharp social comedy about marriage, class, and reputation in Regency England, animated by one of literature's most enduring romances. Its irony, its dialogue, and its heroine have kept it in print and adaptation for more than two centuries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7fjf0pcrwasddtj5x051e.jpg","LNF#dNxsM|xE~TR*jZW;s:njWCs.",1813,5,383,[226,230],{"id":227,"slug":228,"name":229},"01kjq7fjbwgyeb3wvxvskgrzkt","jane-austen-nba6","Jane Austen",{"id":231,"slug":232,"name":233},"01kjv3ysx24yhmgwf09p0memjr","donald-gray-hqpx","Donald Gray",[235,239,240,241,245,246,247],{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":19},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":242,"name":243,"slug":244,"is_fiction":19},4,"Romance","romance",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":248,"name":249,"slug":250,"is_fiction":19},53,"Regency","regency",[],{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":253,"themes":256,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[254,255],"romantic","funny",[257,258],"enemies-to-lovers","grumpy-sunshine",{"id":260,"slug":261,"title":262,"description":263,"primary_cover_url":264,"cover_blurhash":265,"first_publish_year":266,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":267,"authors":268,"genres":273,"series":278,"enrichment":288},"01kjr2tsazwevwzg1xe0x0h1h1","of-mice-and-men-qjb9","Of Mice and Men","George Milton and Lennie Small are itinerant ranch workers during the Great Depression, drifting from job to job across California with a shared dream: to save enough to buy a small plot of land where they can live off \"the fatta the lan'\" and, crucially, where Lennie can tend rabbits. George is sharp and protective; Lennie is a gentle giant of enormous strength and the mind of a child, prone to accidentally crushing whatever he loves too hard.\n\nArriving at a new ranch, they find a fragile foothold among a cast of the dispossessed — the aging swamper Candy, the isolated Black stable hand Crooks, and the lonely, unnamed wife of the boss's son, whose need for attention becomes dangerous. For a moment their dream of land seems within reach, buoyed by Candy's offer to pitch in his savings. But Lennie's inability to control his own strength sets in motion a tragedy that forces George into an impossible final act of loyalty.\n\nJohn Steinbeck's 1937 novella is a spare, devastating parable about friendship, dreams deferred, and the loneliness of migrant labor in Depression-era America.

In between, he is kidnapped by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore and displayed in a zoo, where he learns their serene, fatalistic view of time in which every moment simply is, always has been, and always will be.\n\nDrawing on Kurt Vonnegut's own experience as a POW who lived through the Dresden bombing sheltering in a meat locker, Slaughterhouse-Five refracts unspeakable trauma through science fiction, black comedy, and a fractured, time-hopping structure. Its famous refrain — \"so it goes\" — punctuates every death with weary, defiant resignation.\n\nA landmark of postwar American literature, Vonnegut's anti-war masterpiece is by turns absurd, mournful, and quietly furious: a book about the impossibility of making sense of atrocity, and the human need to try anyway.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjr28nsthqk6p0n9bpsahexh.jpg","LYJ5yX}c}I,]}vR%S1I.$,aeOBWA",1969,208,[331],{"id":332,"slug":333,"name":334},"01kjr28nrt1kvb2fkr2knarp9j","kurt-vonnegut-unuc","Kurt Vonnegut",[336,337,338,342,343,344,348,349,353,357,361,362],{"id":151,"name":152,"slug":153,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":19},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":345,"name":346,"slug":347,"is_fiction":19},57,"Military","military",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":19},3,"Science Fiction","science-fiction",{"id":354,"name":355,"slug":356,"is_fiction":19},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":358,"name":359,"slug":360,"is_fiction":18},91,"Military History","military-history",{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":19},{"id":163,"name":164,"slug":165,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":365,"themes":366,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,128,127],[],{"id":368,"slug":369,"title":370,"description":371,"primary_cover_url":372,"cover_blurhash":373,"first_publish_year":374,"community_rating_avg":287,"community_rating_count":375,"page_count":7,"authors":376,"genres":381,"series":390,"enrichment":394},"01kjq6wy6h7kqfnakv6xv0fgq3","to-kill-a-mockingbird-clcj","To Kill a Mockingbird","Set in the sleepy Alabama town of Maycomb during the Great Depression, Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is narrated by Jean Louise \"Scout\" Finch, looking back on the summers of her childhood.

As the trial grips the town and exposes the bigotry beneath its surface, Scout and Jem come face to face with cruelty, courage, and the gap between what people say and what is just.\n\nA cornerstone of American literature, To Kill a Mockingbird is a tender, clear-eyed story about childhood, conscience, and racial injustice — told with warmth, humor, and moral weight that have kept it in classrooms and hearts for generations.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq6wy7a2v99hzs62amtvvhh.jpg","LALx#K9cMyS4?}kpbHt5_SbFofWV",1960,1,[377],{"id":378,"slug":379,"name":380},"01kjq6wy6qmbk76rj34sy49skr","harper-lee-rhxz","Harper Lee",[382,386,387,388,389],{"id":383,"name":384,"slug":385,"is_fiction":19},42,"Legal Thriller","legal-thriller",{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[391],{"id":392,"slug":393,"name":370,"position":124,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmh93hkg5ajz7hkyq6megegz","to-kill-a-mockingbird-n98r",{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":289,"mood":395,"themes":397,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[128,396],"heartwarming",[213],{"id":399,"slug":400,"title":401,"description":402,"primary_cover_url":403,"cover_blurhash":404,"first_publish_year":405,"community_rating_avg":406,"community_rating_count":375,"page_count":407,"authors":408,"genres":413,"series":429,"enrichment":438},"01kjr28ar46p9b3jck589n5wq5","adventures-of-huckleberry-finn-prcn","Adventures of Huckleberry Finn","Huckleberry Finn, the ragged, freedom-loving boy first met in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, fakes his own death to escape his abusive, drunken father and lights out for the Mississippi.

Together the two set off downriver on a raft, an unlikely pair bound by circumstance and, gradually, by loyalty.\n\nMark Twain's 1884 masterpiece follows Huck and Jim's episodic journey through the antebellum South, where they encounter feuding families, riverboat swindlers — the self-styled \"Duke\" and \"King\" — mobs, and frauds of every kind. As Huck helps Jim toward freedom, he wrestles with a conscience shaped by a society that has taught him that helping an escaped slave is a sin, and slowly reaches his own moral judgment against it.\n\nWritten largely in vernacular dialect and narrated in Huck's own unschooled voice, the novel is at once a rollicking adventure and a scathing satire of racism, hypocrisy, and the myths of \"civilized\" society. Long celebrated as a foundational American novel and just as long debated for its unflinching language, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains one of the most influential and argued-over books in the country's literature.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy617wbraavr8v3cc34svsy.jpg","L38;0]?Gfis;00IVt6j@|4WBM|WB",1884,"3.50",348,[409],{"id":410,"slug":411,"name":412},"01kjqxenx32ssxq2ssctnbebvb","mark-twain-bdlc","Mark Twain",[414,415,419,420,421,422,425],{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":18},{"id":416,"name":417,"slug":418,"is_fiction":18},85,"Travel","travel",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":70,"name":423,"slug":424,"is_fiction":19},"Folklore","folklore",{"id":426,"name":427,"slug":428,"is_fiction":19},140,"Adventure","adventure",[430,434],{"id":431,"slug":432,"name":433,"position":287,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kpsdf2yrksf71k72wqwfdtne","adventures-of-tom-and-huck-tcyd","Adventures of Tom and Huck",{"id":435,"slug":436,"name":437,"position":287,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kq3w09p9btj5deqqzrhvf07d","the-adventure-z0nq","The Adventure",{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":439,"themes":441,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[440,128],"adventurous",[213],{"id":443,"slug":444,"title":445,"description":446,"primary_cover_url":447,"cover_blurhash":448,"first_publish_year":449,"community_rating_avg":450,"community_rating_count":140,"page_count":7,"authors":451,"genres":456,"series":463,"enrichment":464},"01kjq7ncwh5vxdzk0h5h01d0h5","the-great-gatsby-pgsw","The Great Gatsby","Set on Long Island in the summer of 1922, The Great Gatsby is narrated by Nick Carraway, a young Midwesterner newly arrived in New York and renting a modest cottage next door to a vast mansion.

As Nick is drawn into the tangled lives of the East Egg and West Egg elite, the distance between old money and new, between illusion and reality, becomes impossible to bridge.\n\nF. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel is a compact, lyrical portrait of the Jazz Age and a piercing critique of the American Dream. Its symbols — the green light across the bay, the fading eyes of Doctor T.

The private loyalties of the Manette circle are swept toward a sacrifice that will define them all.\n\nDickens's most famous historical novel — bookended by two of the best-known lines in English literature — is a story of resurrection, retribution, and self-sacrifice against the backdrop of a society tearing itself apart.

As Molly navigates the shifting loyalties of her new family, she also comes to know the aristocratic Hamley family and their two very different sons, and finds herself quietly in love while keeping confidences that are not her own. Against a richly observed backdrop of provincial society, class distinction, and changing scientific ideas, Gaskell unfolds a subtle, humane study of character, courtship, and moral steadiness. The novel moves at the gentle pace of country life, alive to gossip, manners, and the small dramas of households and marriages. Left unfinished at the author's death, it remains complete in all but its final pages and is regarded as Gaskell's masterpiece, a warm and clear-sighted portrait of ordinary lives told with wit, sympathy, and a deep understanding of the human heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kvtdr256vvrn71j5e1j6aer4.jpg?v=34ffc07dfc","LFK18-^kD*NL$rr?RPM|Y*S$JBxa",1866,350,[553],{"id":554,"slug":555,"name":556},"01kjr11ttpawj2hs16ff5x0d9a","elizabeth-cleghorn-gaskell-visk","Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell",[558,559,560],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":563,"themes":564,"setting_period":7,"summary":566,"content_warnings":7},[128,466,79,396],[213,130,565],"slow-burn","A doctor's steadfast daughter navigates a new stepfamily, secrets, and quiet love in a Victorian country town.",{"id":568,"slug":569,"title":570,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":571,"cover_blurhash":572,"first_publish_year":550,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":573,"authors":574,"genres":579,"series":582,"enrichment":583},"01kqxha3cpk3kpxk3tx8sn5kzg","aenone-a-tale-of-slave-life-in-rome-vevj","Ænone, a tale of slave life in Rome","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqxha3ecp749p3fzxytaq7xf.jpg","L4NmDz~q=V~VrARjbIoI~9flWCbH",308,[575],{"id":576,"slug":577,"name":578},"01kk5cbhvhydj1zsjxvf9pz6mw","leonard-kip-ssc2","Leonard Kip",[580,581],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":584,"themes":586,"setting_period":7,"summary":588,"content_warnings":7},[127,585,78],"thought-provoking",[587],"forbidden-love","Set in ancient Rome, this tale explores the harsh realities of slave life through the eyes of Ænone.

One of the pioneers of modern Arabic theatre, al-Hakim takes Sophocles' story of the king who unknowingly fulfills a terrible prophecy and reshapes it for a very different intellectual world.\n\nWhere the Greek original stages a struggle between man and the gods, al-Hakim's play turns inward and philosophical, foregrounding the conflict between truth and reality and drawing in questions of reason and revelation more familiar to an Arab and Islamic sensibility. His Oedipus is preoccupied less with public catastrophe than with the intimate ties of family and the limits of human knowledge.\n\nIn his substantial preface, al-Hakim reflects on the challenge of adapting a foundational Western myth for Arabic drama. The result is a landmark of twentieth-century Arabic theatre and a thoughtful meditation on fate, doubt, and the search for meaning.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01krmsyzemdbt6r584a2kmjgpv.jpg","LBDL19X50Jx[00WB9Yj[%fof~DRj",1949,"2.75",136,[632,636],{"id":633,"slug":634,"name":635},"01kmdmpyy9hrtzh4z8h2em6z8q","tawfiq-al-hakim-k04w","Tawfiq Al-Hakim",{"id":637,"slug":638,"name":639},"01kmdmpyydvwx3t9bx1fb684e7","tofyk-alhkym-e36a","توفيق الحكيم",[641,642,643,644],{"id":140,"name":491,"slug":492,"is_fiction":19},{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":645,"name":646,"slug":647,"is_fiction":19},11,"Mythology","mythology",[649],{"id":650,"slug":651,"name":652,"position":124,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01krmsyzfxrgpmp7ypygfc48em","msrhyat-tofyk-alhkym-drt9","مسرحيات توفيق الحكيم",{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":654,"themes":656,"setting_period":7,"summary":657,"content_warnings":7},[78,655,585,127],"philosophical",[],"Tawfiq al-Hakim's 1949 verse drama reworks the Greek tragedy of Oedipus for modern Arabic theatre.

It imagines a distant-future World State that has traded away family, art, religion, and struggle for guaranteed stability: children are decanted from bottles and conditioned into rigid castes, discontent is dissolved by the pleasure-drug soma, and citizens are engineered from birth to love the servitude assigned to them.\n\nThe story follows Bernard Marx, an Alpha who feels subtly out of step with his frictionless society, and Lenina Crowne, who embodies its ideals. A trip to a \"Savage Reservation\" brings them back to London with John, a young man raised on Shakespeare and outside the World State's control. His collision with a civilization that cannot understand grief, longing, or belief drives the novel toward its unsettling conclusion.\n\nBy turns satirical and chilling, Huxley's book interrogates the price of manufactured happiness and the loss of individuality in a technological age. Alongside Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, it remains one of the most argued-over visions of where comfort and control might lead.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktj57fnbr5jdwma10qsb0vk3.jpg?v=ae2c1b8840","L9O3RV8wz-#Q00W?xuof~AjbIpbH",1932,"3.64",7,[713],{"id":714,"slug":715,"name":716},"01kjq7e53bgh3z11gb6836rgg0","aldous-huxley-jivl","Aldous Huxley",[718,719,720,721],{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":19},{"id":155,"name":156,"slug":157,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[723],{"id":724,"slug":725,"name":705,"position":124,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kr7yecprdcpf8sfzjmhy1jrk","brave-new-world-keql",{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":727,"themes":728,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,128],[],{"id":730,"slug":731,"title":732,"description":733,"primary_cover_url":734,"cover_blurhash":735,"first_publish_year":736,"community_rating_avg":737,"community_rating_count":33,"page_count":738,"authors":739,"genres":744,"series":758,"enrichment":762},"01kjq7cmey2gczvhsq50rk54yq","fahrenheit-451-xroi","Fahrenheit 451","In a future America, firemen do not put out fires—they start them.

His wish is granted. As Dorian, encouraged by the cynical, epigram-spouting Lord Henry Wotton, gives himself over to a life of pleasure, cruelty, and corruption, his face remains untouched — while the portrait, hidden away, grows monstrous with every sin.\n\nOscar Wilde's only novel is a dark fable of aestheticism, vanity, and moral consequence, as sharp in its wit as it is unsettling in its horror. Around Dorian's unchanging beauty, Wilde builds a Faustian parable about the cost of a life lived purely for sensation, and a portrait of Victorian society's obsession with surface and youth.\n\nFirst published in 1890 and expanded the following year, the book scandalised its first readers and remains one of the most enduring works of Gothic and philosophical fiction in English.","https:\u002F\u002Fcovers.openlibrary.org\u002Fb\u002Fid\u002F15156805-L.jpg","L06a#84:01%20500~l_1?I02~T-:",1890,"4.55",320,[907,911],{"id":908,"slug":909,"name":910},"01kjqtyw338nszf68q3cd3wx0q","oscar-wilde-e6uf","Oscar Wilde",{"id":912,"slug":913,"name":914},"01km6s1x9ssy8cykv6n0qy1by3","jennifer-wicke-skbg","Jennifer Wicke",[916,917,918,919,920,921,922,926],{"id":89,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":19},{"id":747,"name":748,"slug":749,"is_fiction":18},{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":313,"name":314,"slug":315,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":923,"name":924,"slug":925,"is_fiction":18},105,"Philosophy","philosophy",{"id":711,"name":927,"slug":928,"is_fiction":19},"Horror","horror",[],{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":931,"themes":932,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,128],[],{"id":934,"slug":935,"title":936,"description":937,"primary_cover_url":938,"cover_blurhash":939,"first_publish_year":940,"community_rating_avg":529,"community_rating_count":29,"page_count":941,"authors":942,"genres":947,"series":960,"enrichment":964},"01kjq7gw87xqh6ev93d1x6hyt7","the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-wr4p","The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy","On an ordinary Thursday morning, Arthur Dent discovers that his house is about to be bulldozed to make way for a bypass.

Along the way he meets Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed ex-President of the Galaxy; Trillian, the only other human survivor; and Marvin, a chronically depressed robot — and edges ever closer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.\n\nWildly inventive, gleefully absurd, and packed with satire, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the first book in Douglas Adams's beloved \"trilogy in five parts.\"","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6ysnpds2bawaac08jhfrk.jpg","L48$vs0xqG0No-By%2=jQ8tVT#W5",1979,178,[943],{"id":944,"slug":945,"name":946},"01kjq7gw8d1h8xpgt5ha0jqdzd","douglas-adams-2grb","Douglas Adams",[948,949,953,954,958,959],{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":19},{"id":950,"name":951,"slug":952,"is_fiction":19},26,"Space Opera","space-opera",{"id":163,"name":164,"slug":165,"is_fiction":19},{"id":955,"name":956,"slug":957,"is_fiction":19},120,"Comic Fiction","comic-fiction",{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[961],{"id":962,"slug":963,"name":936,"position":124,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7gwgw87q63q755vegpsw3","the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-tqzk",{"pace":172,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":965,"themes":967,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[255,966,440],"whimsical",[968],"fish-out-of-water",{"id":970,"slug":971,"title":972,"description":973,"primary_cover_url":974,"cover_blurhash":975,"first_publish_year":976,"community_rating_avg":977,"community_rating_count":711,"page_count":978,"authors":979,"genres":993,"series":1010,"enrichment":1012},"01kjq7c75ywh83se335f9967n2","the-hobbit-wshr","The Hobbit","Bilbo Baggins is a comfortable, respectable hobbit who wants nothing more than a quiet life in his hole at Bag End. That peace ends when the wizard Gandalf arrives with thirteen dwarves and recruits a reluctant Bilbo as the burglar for an expedition to the Lonely Mountain. There the dragon Smaug guards a vast treasure that once belonged to the dwarves, and their leader Thorin Oakenshield means to reclaim both the gold and his ancestral kingdom. The journey takes the company across a perilous landscape of trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and shape-shifters, testing a homebody who never expected adventure. Along the way Bilbo stumbles upon a magic ring and a strange creature named Gollum in the dark beneath the mountains, an encounter that will matter far beyond this tale. As the company nears its goal, Bilbo grows from timid passenger into the resourceful heart of the expedition, and the prospect of recovered treasure draws armies toward a single mountain. Written for younger readers but rich enough for any age, it is a tale of courage found in unlikely places, the pull of home, and the cost of greed, set in the world that would become Middle-earth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knrr3zvapywft5axaxbgb7ka.jpg","L37m]G9H2sWV~WRjEfM{2{%J|{ae",1938,"3.71",300,[980,981,985,989],{"id":867,"slug":868,"name":869},{"id":982,"slug":983,"name":984},"01kvrcdbtc11gm3vsr2kkj3e0n","douglas-a-anderson-xstm","Douglas A.
