Announcing FABULY: A New Free App to Experience Classic Novels and Short Stories With Seamless Synchronization Between Text and Audio

The new Fabuly app offers free access to an extensive library of classic novels and short stories, including renowned works like Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series, Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, or H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Available for iOS and Android, it is already downloaded more than 5,000 times with an impressive rating of 4.6 out of 5 on the Play Store.

In a market dominated by platforms like Audible, Kindle, and Everand, which primarily focus on contemporary bestsellers, Fabuly emerges as a refreshing alternative, offering free access to distinguished and timeless classic literature, including both novels and short stories.

Fabuly sets itself apart with its innovative synchronization feature between text and audio. This allows users to effortlessly switch between reading and listening, or to engage with both modes simultaneously, creating a truly immersive experience.

Providing access to our shared cultural heritage is a cornerstone of Fabuly’s mission. Time-honored classics such as Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, or Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein are more than just books—they are pillars of our cultural legacy. Since they are now part of the public domain, these works belong to everyone. Fabuly makes accessing these masterpieces effortless by offering both text and audio formats.

With Fabuly, you’ll get to know where everything started. Who were the first vampires to haunt the public’s nightmares? What challenges did the famed detective face in the foggy streets of 19th-century London? Which enchanting tales captivated children over a century ago? How did romance and seduction play out among the early 1800s aristocracy? What secrets lie within the original story of time travel?

Within the app, Fabuly provides curated recommendations across a range of literary genres in both short and long forms. Whether you want to listen to a short story like Mark Twain’s The War Prayer during your commute or immerse yourself in foundational novels such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula on a long, rainy evening, Fabuly caters to your literary cravings in any setting. You can choose anything from our catalog or let yourself be tempted by our recommendations, cherry-picked by the editorial team.

Fabuly is still in its infancy, with more content and new features being added every week. Download the app on the App Store or the Play Store and learn more on the Fabuly website. You can also join the Fabuly Classics Facebook group to discover new releases and provide feedback.

Zahra Marwan Presents Watercolor Paintings Show at Hecho a Mano: ‘A Rose is a Rose is a Rose’

Zahra Marwan’s dreamlike watercolors have always had a close relationship with the written word: the origin of her paintings is often a sparse yet evocative line of text. Born in Kuwait, Marwan is the author of Where Butterflies Fill the Sky (Bloomsbury Publishing NYC, 2022), which chronicles her family’s journey from Kuwait to Albuquerque, NM when she was a child, escaping discrimination in Kuwait where she and much of her family were considered stateless and were subject to open discrimination and discriminatory laws.

In her show at Hecho a Mano, Marwan’s skill for marrying language and art is evident in watercolor paintings centering roses and Arab poetry. Drawn from the seven Mu’allaqat—the ancient Suspended Odes that were hung in the Kaaba in Mecca and were so dear to the Arabs that they were written in gold—Marwan’s paintings evoke a feeling of awe and longing. 

Marwan describes the paintings’ mood as akin to Saadi Shirazi’s Gulistān, or Rose Garden, a work composed of short prose in chapters. She was inspired, too, by an image from the medieval romantic epic The Romance of the Rose, in which the character Amant falls asleep and wakes up in the garden from his dream. Her paintings suggest the greater historical Andalusian influences and connection to Arabic poetry written on the Iberian Peninsula.

The show’s title comes from Gertrude Stein’s 1913 poem, “Sacred Emily,” which was inspired by Stein’s search for a new language in collaboration with Picasso. Marwan says she read the poem in Paris in October: “Fragmented and repetitive, it kept reappearing starkly in my life,” she says.  

Marwan has received several book awards and recognitions, including the New York Times/New York Public Library’s Best Illustrated Children’s Books of 2022. “Receiving news that my work was in the New York Times Ten Best Illustrated Books was really an absolute dream,” Marwan says, explaining that during the first few years she was sharing her work, she was told by publishers that it wasn’t a good fit for picture books, and by the fine art world that it wasn’t a good fit for galleries. “To see it be uplifted felt almost miraculous after so many eloquent rejections,” Marwan says. 

She also received the United Nations Human Rights Commission Art Award for creating art that uplifts statelessness in 2022. “We are handed down ancient poems, suspended odes in gold, our lives like a rose garden in chapters,” Marwan says. 

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose opens July 5, and is on view through July 29.
