Title: Souls of Black Folk

Author: W.E.B. Du Bois

Narrator: Raymond Hearn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:36:15

Language: English

Release date: 11-14-23

Publisher: G&D Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Black Literature

Summary:

Raymond Hearn, the narrator of this edition, did an incredible rendition similar to what he did for The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas

"EITHER AMERICA WILL DESTROY IGNORANCE OR IGNORANCE WILL DESTROY THE UNITED STATES." -W.E.B. Du Bois

This classic groundbreaking work of American literature first published in 1903 is a cornerstone of African-American literary history and a seminal work in the field of sociology.

W.E.B. Du Bois, who drew from his own experiences as an African-American living in American society, explores the concept of "double-consciousness"-a term he uses to describe living as an African-American and having a "sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others."

With Du Bois' examination of Black life in post-Civil War America, his explanation of the meaning of emancipation and its effect, and his views on the roles of the black leaders of his time, The Souls of Black Folk is one of the important early works in the field of sociology. His fourteen essays have had a lasting impact on civil rights and the discussion of race in the United States. The essays include these topics:

"OUR" SPIRITUAL STRIVINGS

THE DAWN OF FREEDOM

MEANING OF PROGRESS

TRAINING OF BLACK MEN

THE SONS OF MASTER AND MAN

FAITH OF THE FATHERS

SORROW SONGS

AND MORE

WILLIAM EDWARD BURGHARDT DU BOIS (1868-1963) was an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author, writer and editor. Born in Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in a relatively tolerant and integrated community, and after completing graduate work at the University of Berlin and Harvard, (where he was the first African-American to earn a doctorate), he became a professor of history, sociology and economics at Atlanta University. Du Bois was one of the founders of the NAACP.

Title: Big Mouth

Author: Matt Preston

Narrator: Matt Preston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:35:20

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-23

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

For a man who has been firmly in the public eye for the past decade or more, Matt Preston has been very, very quiet about his past and private life. There are reasons for this.

Now, in Big Mouth, Matt opens up about his early years for the first time - the good and the bad, the tragic and the ecstatic. Like the man himself, it's a story that's joyous, funny and larger than life. It's also, perhaps unexpectedly, filled with pathos and emotional depth, set to a pulsating 1980s soundtrack.

From his fractured childhood and the tragic death of his younger brother, to adoption, heroin, his disastrous time in the British Army and relocating to the other side of the world - where he would eventually find love and success - Matt writes frankly about it all.

Naturally, food weaves its way through his story at every turn. His most memorable food experiences, from the exquisite and the excellent to the dreary and the dreadful, form the backdrop of a life well (and not so well) lived.

This is a fresh, exciting, gloriously eccentric memoir from one of the food world's most beloved bon vivants.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:10:39

Language: English

Release date: 11-06-23

Summary:

Soldier On is a true story about what it means to become a woman, and how the heat of hardships can forge strong character and lead to a purposeful life.

The daughter of an Auschwitz survivor, author Bracha Horovitz spent her childhood surrounded by people who worked fervently to establish the fledgling nation of Israel after its 1948 independence. Inspired by their resilience and fortitude, Bracha set her heart on living a life that would honor her family, her community, and her heritage.

At eighteen, Bracha joined the Israel Defense Forces. Alongside other female soldiers, she parachuted from planes, marched through hot deserts, and learned to shoot machine guns. Intense military training taught her that women, too, can be fierce fighters.

Then, while serving at IDF headquarters among Israels top military leaders, she was selected to participate in the Miss Israel beauty pageant. For her, the experience raised new questions about the meaning of womanhood and her purpose in life.

In a beautiful love story, Bracha married an honorable, entrepreneurial man. The two of them seemed to have it alllucrative careers, a happy marriage, and a small family. Invited to work in the US, they struggled to maintain their Israeli identity while adapting to cross-cultural life.

And then . . . tragedy struck. Hardship suddenly became a permanent aspect of Brachas everyday existence.

Written with elegant prose and profound insights for our lives, Soldier On is the story of how one woman and her family discovered how they could, with courage and perseverance, transform suffering into a beautiful life. In an era that is brimming with anxiety and despair, this book reminds us that no amount of suffering can destroy hope and love.

Title: Question 7

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:48:25

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-23

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West's affair through 1930s nuclear physics to Flanagan's father working as a slave labourer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this genre-defying daisy chain of events reaches fission when Flanagan as a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river not knowing if he is to live or to die.

At once a love song to his island home and to his parents, this hypnotic melding of dream, history, literature, place and memory is about how reality is never made by realists and how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves.

Title: Dish: Spiels, scoops, emotional outbursts and the occasional recipe

Author: Rhys Nicholson

Narrator: Rhys Nicholson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:03:19

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-23

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

Every now and then, when the planets align in just the right way, a book comes along that changes everything. An author sweats and toils to birth a tome with such colossal cultural impact, it has the power to retune the entire world to a whole new frequency. This is absolutely not one of those books. Not even close. And actually, that all sounds a bit much really, doesn't it?

Rhys Nicholson is a multi-award winning comedian, writer and busy mum with an anxiety disorder, a complicated relationship with food and a book deal. In Dish, a debut whack at writing an entire book, Nicholson is reaching out to get some stuff straight in their head. Through a series of revealing stories, intrusive thoughts and a recipe here and there, they're hoping to ruminate, gossip and generally have a deeply private, wide-ranging conversation with themselves about a whole bunch of life's smaller questions. What do you do if you think you might have an underwear fetish? How long do you roast a chicken for? Does everyone hate you? Why did no one bring up how hard it is to write a book? What's going on with heterosexual men, and are they ok?

Title: Unsung: A Compendium of Creativity

Author: Kate Ceberano

Narrator: Kate Ceberano

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:16:50

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-23

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment, Women

Summary:

An intimate memoir from beloved Australian musician Kate Ceberano, featuring her inspirational song lyrics and stories, to celebrate four decades of songwriting and recording on the release of her 30th album. 

 

Kate Ceberano is used to a hush descending as she draws breath to release that magnificent voice but when the whole world quietened in 2020, she found the silence disorientating. Without an audience or long hours of travel with her tribe of musicians, there was time to think. But what does an artist do when they can’t make art? They find a way.  

With characteristic passion, abundance and joy, Kate liberated her unsung songs. They flowed through her paintbrush as she embellished guitars, her needle as she stitched quilts to envelop her beloveds and her pen as she unfurled stories, poems and songs.  

In Unsung Kate muses on the people and experiences that have inspired her, on what has humbled her, what hurts and what sustains. This is the story of a powerful woman in her prime, but also of a reflective, romantic and vulnerable artist making sense of the universe. It’s proof of a lifetime lived in music. It’s a tribute to songs, wherever they come from and wherever they go.
