Summary:

A Child of the.Jago' is both thriller and condemnation of social conditions in the East End slums at the turn of the century. Boy hero Dicky Perrott is at heart full of humane instinct but his environment ensures his down fall. 'It was my fate to encounter a place in Shoreditch where children were born and reared in circumstances which gave them no reasonable chance of living decent lives: where they were born fore-damned to a criminal or semi criminal career. It was my experience to learn the ways of this place, to know its inhabitants, to talk with them, eat, drink and work with them.' Arthur Morrison The author, who rejected the label 'realist', doesn't minimise the violence of the community and 'A Child of the Jago' is an exciting tale indeed.

Title: American Notes

Author: Charles Dickens

Narrator: Peter Joyce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:21:24

Language: English

Release date: 01-10-07

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: History, North America, Essays & Travelogues

Summary:

In 1842, Charles Dickens visited America. His reception was somewhat colder than that which usually greeted him already a successful author in both Britain and the U.S. This lack of enthusiasm from the Americans was partly due to his criticism of the pirating of English books in that country and partly due to his outspoken distaste for the custom of slavery in the southern states.

He wrote in the preface to American Notes, 'Prejudiced I am not, and never have been, otherwise than in favour of the United States. I have many friends in America. I feel a grateful interest in the country. I hope and believe it will successfully work out a problem of the highest importance in the whole human race. To represent me as viewing America with ill nature, coldness or animosity is merely to do a very foolish thing, which is always a very easy one!'

Despite this placatory tone, one American reviewer spoke thus of American Notes: 'The most trashy... the most contemptible... the essence of balderdash, reduced to the last drop of silliness and inanity.'

Title: Europeans

Author: Henry James

Narrator: Peter Joyce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:47:29

Language: English

Release date: 01-06-07

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Summary:

One of Henry James main themes was the interaction between the Old World and the New. Restless Baroness Eugenia Munster and her charming bohemian brother Felix are visiting their American cousins in Boston, New England. The effect these two extravagant characters have on their austere Puritan relations forms the substance of the book and is told in a series of scenes or sketches. The author writes with subtly observed good humour which accelerates and escalates into higher comedy as Felix, the main protagonist, manipulates his cousins emotional affiliations. James is most impartial and so the wit is at the expense of neither faction, although one suspects that his sympathies lie more with the European temperament rather than the cloistered sensibilities of New England, a suspicion given credence by the fact that, after living in Britain for twenty years, he eventually obtained citizenship. In a letter to the publisher, outlining his plan for the novel, James wrote; I agree to squeeze my buxom muse I will lace her so tight that she shall have the neatest little figure in the world. It shall be a very joyous little romance.. He succeeded brilliantly.

Summary:

As well as penning some of the most popular detective fiction, Conan Doyle also wrote thrilling adventure stories. Rodney Stone is a combination of both.

Title: Thirty Nine Steps

Author: John Buchan

Narrator: Peter Joyce

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:35:02

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-07

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Espionage

Summary:

Among the first 'espionage thrillers' and an acknowledged classic, The Thirty-Nine Steps well deserves its accolades as one of the best adventure stories of all time. Leaving aside the improbable denouement, the fast paced, brilliantly conceived narrative still excites and carries one along with the sheer suspense of the manhunt - a recurring theme in literature - and Hannays struggle against the evil that is the 'Black Stone.'

May 1914, Europe is close to war and spies are everywhere. Richard Hannay has arrived back in London to begin a new life when a spy called Scudder asks for help to uncover a German plot to murder the Greek Prime Minister in London and to steal British plans for the outbreak of war. He claims to be following a ring of German spies called the Black Stone. A few days later Scudder is murdered. Hannay is forced to continue Scudders work and is chased across Scotland both by police and German spies. The solution to the mysterious phrase Thirty-Nine Steps is a thread that runs through the whole story.

Summary:

Morning and Evening Guided Meditations for Earth Angels comprises four tracks - a Morning Meditation and an Evening Meditation connecting you with the Archangels - along with two further stunning tracks (one instrumental) to guide and carry the listener through the meditation process. Jan's tranquil voice with Bryan's angelic harmonies and uplifting music transport the listener on a heavenly journey which is entirely suitable for those new to meditation as well as the more experienced and is truly a skin-tingling experience so obviously instigated by the Angels themselves.

Jan's heartening introduction is followed by a Morning Meditation to help you connect with Archangel Michael to guide you through your life's purpose and with Chamuel to help you forgive yourself and others in your day. The Evening Meditation connects you with Archangel Raphael in releasing all physical, mental and emotional pain, Zadkiel for wisdom and insight and finally Archangel Uriel to illuminate your life's path. Track Four is a beautiful inspired instrumental for serenity and peace.
