Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
What happens when humanity, having conquered war, famine, and plague, turns its gaze not toward survival—but toward godhood? Homo Deus is a hauntingly lucid exploration of our next great ambition: to engineer happiness, eternal life, and perhaps even divinity itself. As algorithms begin to understand us better than we understand ourselves, the book poses an unsettling question: will Homo sapiens remain masters of their destiny, or become relics of their own creation? With the cold fire of prophecy and the precision of science, this narrative beckons the reader to walk the fault line between intelligence and consciousness, freedom and programming, mortal limits and divine dreams.

Little Women
Little Women is a tender, richly woven portrait of four spirited sisters growing up amid the quiet trials and radiant joys of family life during a time of war and want. Through laughter, loss, and the slow unfolding of dreams, the March girls wrestle with the meaning of womanhood, ambition, sacrifice, and love. What does it mean to grow into oneself while remaining bound by the invisible threads of home? With warmth and wisdom, the story invites readers into a world where the everyday becomes epic—and where the greatest adventures begin at the hearth. It is a novel that speaks softly yet lingers like a beloved memory.

The Dante Club
In the shadowed streets of 19th-century Boston, a string of grisly murders unfolds—each death a chilling reenactment of Dante’s Inferno. Bound by a shared passion for poetry and justice, a clandestine circle of literary scholars races against time to decode the dark riddles lurking within the verses. How far will art’s power stretch—to illuminate truth or to unleash vengeance? The Dante Club weaves a taut, haunting tale where intellect and horror collide, inviting readers to ponder whether the line between creation and destruction is as fragile as a whispered verse.
