Title: Roundabout of Death

Author: Faysal Khartash

Narrator: Qarie Marshall

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:19:19

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-22

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Summary:

A powerful and beautiful Syrian novel set in Aleppo during the early days of the civil war that followed the Arab Spring.

Jumaa is a schoolteacher in Aleppo. He observes and lives through the literal disintegration of his beautiful native city. Through his eyes, in a mixture of first and third person narration, we experience the razing of entire neighbourhoods, the apparently random dropping of barrel bombs, the bewildering variety of militias and government security forces loyal to Assad, the arbitrary cruelties and the complicated journeys that people have to make simply to cross the city.

Roundabout of Death offers powerful witness to the violence that obliterated the ancient city's rich layers of history, its neighbourhoods and medieval and Ottoman landmarks. Aleppo was home to Arabs, Armenians, Kurds, Christians and other sects. The war tore those communities apart and made their city a wasteland.

'Masterful ... Kaleidoscopic: personal and collective, serendipitous and fatalistic, marked by a bitter irony that can't help flirting with despair ... What Khartash is tracking is the precariousness of memory and identity' Los Angeles Times

'Faysal Khartash's English-language debut brings to a wider audience one of the best Syrian novelists of his generation and one of the most exciting writers to emerge from the region since the Arab Spring' TLS

Title: Athens: A History

Author: Bruce Clark

Narrator: Mark Elstob

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19:56:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-22

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: History, Ancient Civilizations

Summary:

A sweeping history of Athens, telling the three-thousand-year story of the birthplace of Western civilization.

Even on the most smog-bound of days, the rocky outcrop on which the Acropolis stands is visible above the sprawling roofscape of the Greek capital. Athens presents one of the most recognizable and symbolically freighted panoramas of any of the world's cities: the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon the temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, that crowns the Acropolis dominate a city whose name is synonymous for many with civilization itself.

It is hard not to feel the hand of history in such a place. The birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy and theatre, Athens' importance cannot be understated. Few cities have enjoyed a history so rich in artistic creativity and the making of ideas; or one so curiously patterned by alternating cycles of turbulence and quietness. From the legal reforms of the lawmaker Solon in the sixth century BCE to the travails of early twenty-first century Athens, as it struggles with the legacy of the economic crises of the 2000s, Clark brings the city's history to life, evoking its cultural richness and political resonance in this epic, kaleidoscopic history.
