Summary:

Charles Dickens was a master of the macabre. His stories of madness, murder and revenge, often imbued with a sympathetic moral undertone, have continued to thrill and chill readers ever since they were written. Here then are 15 tales that display the full range of Dickens's Gothic talents. The Signalman, perhaps the most well-known, is a chilling story about a mysterious figure and its deathly omen; The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain shows the consequences for those who make deals with the dead; The Portrait-Painter's Story follows an artist who paints a non-living person by memory; and Captain Murderer and the Devil's Bargain, a bedtime story from Dickens's own childhood, tells of a bloodthirsty man who kills his brides and bakes them into pies. Among others, the collection also includes A Christmas Carol, The Baron of Grogzwig from The Pickwick Papers, and The Ghost in the Bride's Chamber, a novella co-written with Wilkie Collins.

Title: Journal of the Plague Year

Author: Daniel Defoe

Narrator: Andrew Cullum

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:50:18

Language: English

Release date: 11-09-18

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

First published in March 1722, 57 years after the event that struck more than 100,000 people, A Journal of the Plague Year is a compelling portrait of life during London's horrific bubonic plague. Through the eyes of H.F. (speculated to be Defoe's uncle, Henry Foe, from whose journals the book was supposedly adapted) we witness great grief, depravity and despair: crazed sufferers roam the streets, unearthly screams resound across the city, death carts dump their grisly loads into mass graves, and quackery and skulduggery feed on fear. But there is kindness and courage too, as mutual support and caring are upheld through the worst of days. Defoe's Journal is considered one of the most accurate accounts of the plague, and includes many contemporary theories about the disease, along with rolls of the dead and a literary mapping of London, street by street, parish by parish. It is a fascinating and intimate account from one of the earliest proponents of the novel.

Title: Addicted to Busy: Why life has got so hectic

Author: Oliver Burkeman

Narrator: Oliver Burkeman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:10:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-08-18

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Summary:

There's a ritual of the modern workplace - one you've heard and most likely indulged in yourself. It's the call and response we go through when you ask a workmate how they're doing: 'Busy!' 'So busy.' It is pretty obviously a boast disguised as a complaint. And our simultaneously grim and half chuckled reply comes as a kind of congratulation: 'Ha, better than the opposite.' When did we start doing that?

As if he didn't have enough to do, Oliver Burkeman explores this epidemic of busyness to reveal that it may not be what it at first seems. He asks if we are talking ourselves into feeling overwhelmed with busyness, and if our problem with busyness is not that we do not have the time but rather we literally do not have the head space. He questions whether people have become addicted to busy, either because it makes them feel like heroes fighting the odds, or because problems can be avoided by never sitting still.

Finally, he examines whether the solution to busyness is perhaps not to work harder and organise ourselves, but to indulge in a little idleness.

Oliver Burkeman is an award-winning feature writer for the Guardian. He writes a popular weekly column on psychology, This Column Will Change Your Life, and has reported from London, Washington and New York.

Produced by Peter McManus.

This programme was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 as 'Oliver Burkeman Is Busy.'

Title: Charisma: An exploration of that elusive quality

Author: Francine Stock

Narrator: Francine Stock

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:15:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-18

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, Social Science

Summary:

Francine Stock sets out to explore the elusive quality that is charisma.

Can charisma variously combining charm, magic and power ever really be pinned down?

Moving from St Pauls coining of the word in the first century of the Christian Era right up to the present day, charisma continues to be a powerful influence, not always for the good, in the fields of politics, banking, terrorism, theatre and film.

Along the way, Francine takes in early medieval mystics such as Margery Kempe and Joan of Arc; the Elizabethan belief in the so-called 'Royal Touch' and its different manifestations today; the powerful healing claims of Franz Mesmer; and radical charismatic leaders from Garibaldi to Osama Bin Laden. She explores the power and appeal of charisma with stars such as Sarah Bernhardt; self-made businessmen such as W.K.Kellogg, Henry Ford and Steve Jobs; totalitarian leaders including Hitler, and new forms of political extremism such as the so-called Islamic State; civil rights leaders, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama; and the volatile world of contemporary banking.

There is a continuing hunger for charisma; can this gift of grace be turned to a shared advantage?
