Title: Barnaby Rudge

Author: Charles Dickens

Narrator: Debra Lynn

Length: 24 hrs 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2011

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

A wayside tavern where the local men drink and gossip; an unsolved, twenty year old murder at a nearby mansion; a very talkative black raven; a London locksmith and his family; a man apparently returned from the dead; a hangman who enjoys his job way too much; an anti-Catholic lord; a large and violent mob; and the British Militiawhat do all these things have in common? All have, in some way, touched or been touched by the loveable, young, simple-minded idiot, Barnaby Rudge.

Barnabys good nature makes him a joy to most who know him. Unfortunately, his eagerness to please and his gullibility make him an easy prey for the unscrupulous. Can he emerge unscathed when once he gets tangled up with the wrong crowd?

Once again, Dickens has managed to temper the horrific with his characteristic wit and humor, as he tells this tale based on the "no-popery" or Gordon riots of 1780.

Title: Last Days of Pompeii

Author: Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

Narrator: Various Narrators

Length: 16 hrs 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2011

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Last Days of Pompeii is a novel written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1834. Once a very widely read book and now relatively neglected, it culminates in the cataclysmic destruction of the city of Pompeii by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The novel uses its characters to contrast the decadent culture of first-century Rome with both older cultures and coming trends. The protagonist, Glaucus, represents the Greeks who have been subordinated by Rome, and his nemesis Arbaces the still older culture of Egypt. Olinthus is the chief representative of the nascent Christian religion, which is presented favorably but not uncritically.

Title: Ruth

Author: Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

Narrator: Cynthia Lyons

Length: 18 hrs 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2011

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

The book is a social novel, dealing with Victorian views about sin and illegitimacy. It is a surprisingly compassionate portrayal of a 'fallen woman', a type of person normally outcast from respectable society. The title of the novel refers to the main character Ruth Hilton, an orphaned young seamstress who is seduced and then abandoned by gentleman Henry Bellingham. Ruth, pregnant and alone, is taken in by a minister and his sister. They conceal her single status under the pretence of widowhood in order to protect her child from the social stigma of illegitimacy. Ruth goes on to gain a respectable position in society as a governess, which is threatened by the return of Bellingham and the revelation of her secret. (Wikipedia)
