Title: Shropshire Lad

Author: A. E. Housman

Narrator: Samuel West

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2011-06-11

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

In A Shropshire Lad, A.E. Housman recreates a nostalgic world of lost love, lost youth, thwarted friendships, unfaithful girls, male bonding, untimely death and the uncertain glories of being a soldier. The poems deal with the exuberance of youth 'its aspirations and disappointments, its na've certainties and tragic mistakes. Though written in 1895, it struck a chord with the generation of young men who fought in World War I. It was said that every 'Tommy' had a copy in his knapsack. It has never been out of print.

Title: All but My Life

Author: Gerda Weissmann Klein

Narrator: Grace Conlin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2010-10-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Memoir

Publisher's Summary:

All but My Life is the basis for the HBO Academy Award' winning best documentary short, One Survivor Remembers.

This is the unforgettable story of Gerda Weissmann Klein's six-year ordeal as a victim of Nazi cruelty. From her comfortable home in Bielitz, Poland, to her miraculous survival and her liberation by American troops, including the man who was to become her husband, in Volary, Czechoslovakia, Gerda takes us on a terrifying journey.

Gerda's serene and idyllic childhood is shattered when Nazis march into Poland on September 3, 1939. Although the Weissmanns were permitted to live for a while in the basement of their home, they were eventually separated and sent to German labor camps. Over the next few years Gerda experienced the slow, inexorable stripping away of 'all but her life.' By the end of the war she had lost her parents, brother, home, possessions, and community; even the dear friends she made in the labor camps, with whom she had shared so many hardships, were dead.pDespite her horrifying experiences, Klein conveys great strength of spirit and faith in humanity. In the darkness of the camps, Gerda and her young friends manage to create a community of friendship and love. Although stripped of the essence of life, they were able to survive the barbarity of their captors. Gerda's beautifully written story gives an invaluable message to everyone. It introduces them to last century's terrible history of devastation and prejudice, yet offers them hope that the effects of hatred can be overcome.
