Summary:

The intrigues of peaceful Barchester are of tremendous importance to its inhabitants, and Anthony Trollope enjoys observing how differently they impinge on the separate worlds of men and women. Men have to make a place for themselves in society; for them ambition is necessary and justified. Women, on the other hand, have to make marriage their career, and it is up to them to make as good a match as possible. For Trollope, however, genuine love is of the utmost importance to everyone, and the only real basis for marriage. 1. A NEW REGIME. Old Bishop Grantly dies, and his son Dr Grantly is overlooked as his successor. Dr Proudie is appointed, and he duly arrives with his wife and his domestic chaplain, Obadiah Slope. Dr Grantly and his father-in-law, Mr Harding, pay their respects. They are shocked by Mr Slope's strict views on Sunday observance, and his rudeness. Mr Slope gives a startling sermon on proper behaviour in the clergy. The Proudies decide to return to London for a while to avoid the uproar. During their absence, Mr Slope begins to make his influence felt. 2. A SPECTACULAR PARTY. Canon Dr Vesey Stanhope, who has lived in Italy for 12 years, is recalled to Barchester with his family. They are guests at the Proudies' party, held to mark their return from London. Anybody who is anyone has been invited. A sofa is set aside for Canon Stanhope's married, invalid daughter, the beautiful Signora Neroni, and she creates a stir with her dramatic entrance. But when Bertie Stanhope and Dr Proudie try to move the sofa, with the Signora on it, Mrs Proudie's lace train is caught under the castors. Her costume is ripped and her dignity dented. Her only option is to retire from the party. 3. TROUBLE BREWS. Mrs Grantly wrongly assumes that her widowed sister, Eleanor Bold, may contemplate taking Obadiah Slope as her husband and alerts their father, Dr Harding, to the possibility. Dr Grantly appoints his friend the Reverend Arabin to the nearby parsonage of St Ewold's. Mrs Proudie, without the approval or knowledge of her husband, berates Mr Slope for paying too much attention to Signora Neroni at the party, and also for taking on too much responsibility in the diocese. 4. TORMENTED LOVE. Mr Slope visits Madeline Neroni and feels overwhelmed by passion, despite the knowledge that his visits will cause a scandal and ruin his chances with Mrs Bold, to whom he is also attracted. Signora Neroni, however, simply wants to trifle with him, and teases him about the possibility of his marrying Eleanor. When he comes too close to declaring his passion for her, she tells him to marry Mrs Bold and reminds him of the existence of a Signor Neroni. Mr Slope says he loves only Madeline. But when she calls his bluff and suggests they live together, he does not know how to respond. 5. EMOTIONS RUN HIGH. Mr Arabin, now feeling some tenderness towards Eleanor himself, calls on Mrs Bold and her father. She has discovered that Mr Arabin has been discussing her friendship with Mr Slope with her brother-in-law, Dr Grantly. When he admits that they have discussed their possible marriage, too, Mrs Bold and Mr Arabin quarrel, and he realizes his mistake. He is unable to say what is in his mind, and she cannot forgive him - although she can tell that he loves her. 6. AWKWARD SITUATIONS. Dr Trefoil, the old dean of Barchester, suffers a stroke, and while it is obvious he will never recover, he remains alive.

Summary:

Jules Verne - The Short Stories. The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel. But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers. Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. In this volume we examine some of the short stories of Jules Verne. When we think of Jules Verne we think of science fiction and wonderful exploits full of adventure way beyond their time. So we are delighted here to bring you some of Verne's shorter works that will take you on a voyage of new discoveries into the astonishing mind that wrote Around The World In 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. Born in Nantes, France in 1828 his family planned for him to become a lawyer but his mind was set on becoming a writer. By the time of his death in 1905 he was famed the world over as perhaps the greatest writer of science fiction, a regard in which he is still held today. Many of the stories are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Word Of Mouth. Many samples are at our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores. Among the readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe. Index Of Stories; A Voyage In A Balloon; The Fortieth French Ascent Of Mont Blanc; Master Zacharius.

Summary:

The truth is, it ain't just a race thing. They talk like it is, but really and truly it's black against white, young against old, authorities against the rest. It's countless of things. There's bare reasons for feeling vexed right now. Growing up on a south London estate and excluded from every school that would take her, Alesha is the poster girl for the nation's 'feral youth'. When a young teacher makes an unexpected reappearance in the 15-year-old's life, opening the door to a world of salaries, pianos and middle-class housemates, Alesha's instinct is to pull up her hood and return to the streets. But fuelled by a need to survive, she falls into a cycle of crime, violence and drug-dealing, her one true ally deserting her when she needs him most. While everyone around her is rallying against the authorities in a war of haves and have-nots, Alesha finds herself caught in the crossfire, inextricably linked to the people she is trying to fight against. Can she see a way out? And as riots sweep the nation, whose side will she take?

Title: Poetry of Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Author: Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Narrator: Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 00:52:43

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-17

Publisher: The Copyright Group Ltd.

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

Letitia Elizabeth Landon was born on 14 August 1802 in Chelsea, London. A precocious child she had her first poem published is 1820 using the single 'L' as her marker. The following year her first volume appeared and sold well. She published a further two poems that same year with just the initials 'L.E.L." It provided the basis for much intrigue. She became the chief reviewer of the Gazette and published her second collection, The Improvisatrice, in 1824. By 1826, rumours began to circulate that she had had affairs. For several years they continued to circulate until she broke off an engagement when her betrothed, upon further investigation, found them to be unfounded. Her words reflect the lack of trust she felt "The mere suspicion is dreadful as death". On June 7th 1838 she married George Maclean, initially in secret, and a month later they sailed to Cape Coast. However the marriage proved to be short lived as on October 15th Letitia was found dead, a bottle of prussic acid in her hand. Her reputation as a poet diminished until fairly recently; her work felt to be simplistic and too simply constructed. However when put into context it is more rightly seen as working on many levels and meanings as was needed for those more moral times.
