I'd recommend browsing the Lexicanum wiki: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page

For books, a common recommendation for starting with the setting is the Eisenhorn trilogy (https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eisenhorn_(Novel_Series)). Another common recommendation is reading the first few books of the Gaunts Ghosts series (https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gaunt%27s_Ghosts_(Novel_Series)).

The lore in this meme (the Razing of Monarchia) is covered in the Horus Heresy novels. If you wanted to jump straight in with the Heresy series it's generally recommended you read the first five of them^, then branch out into whichever subseries interest you.

^ Horus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames, Flight of the Eisenstein, Fulgrim
