Magnificent Adventure

Yak Laughter is an ongoing web-serialized fantasy novel written and read by Coram Parker. The podcast is produced by Canon Parker. Read the full text now on yaklaughter.com. SYNOPSIS Ezmeralda Totkins leads an ordinary life—right up until the day her seven-year-old son, Wilburn, discovers magic, nearly killing himself in the process, and accidentally provoking the wrath of a swarm of giant psychic hornets, who descend upon Ez's cottage like a crusading army, hell-bent on murdering the boy. In the time it takes a pot of soup to cook, both Ez's cottage and her understanding of reality are demolished. I won't tell you how Ez and Wilburn get out of that scrape; they do, of course, or else the story would be over. And it's only just begun. Magic, Ez learns, is a hereditary talent. Well, Wilburn didn't get it from her. Jack, Ez's late love, the father Wilburn never met, was a wizard. Ez never knew. She never guessed magic was real, much less that Jack himself... How could the person Ez had trusted beyond all others have kept such a profound secret from her? A secret not only about himself, but the fundamental nature of the universe? If only Jack was still alive so she could ask him... and possibly kick him in the groin. Instead, Ez must rely on Gramma Fark, Jack's mother, Ez's NOT-mother-in-law, for answers, answers to questions like, "How did jack REALLY die?" and, "Is some kind of evil hornet god controlling my son's mind?" And, gentle reader, just wait until you meet Master Iddolorious "Iddo" Bungflower of Frogswallow's College of Metaphysical Arts. All Iddo wants to do is drink beer and write million-page dissertations on "the non-being of un-being." Unfortunately, he's the most powerful magician in the world, which comes with some responsibilities. Whether or not he's up to those responsibilities is a matter of debate; for many, including Gramma Fark, believe that Iddo is insane. Oh yeah, and he's a yak. Imagine Harry Potter written at an adult level, then toss that in a blender with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and A Confederacy of Dunces, sprinkle in a dash of Pynchonian psychedelia, and voilá: Yak Laughter. ©Coram Parker, Coram LLC.

Second Sunday Readings is a live reading series dedicated to providing poets with a platform and poetry lovers with a place to hear what they crave.

Second Sunday Readings

In concluding an earlier volume on the mistresses of the western Roman Empire I observed that, as the gallery of fair and frail ladies closed, we stood at the door of “the long, quaint gallery of the Byzantine Empresses.” It seemed natural and desirable to pass on to this more interesting and less familiar series of the mistresses of the eastern Roman Empire, and the present volume will therefore tell the story of the Empresses, or Queens, as they preferred to be called, who occupied the throne set up by Constantine in New Rome, or ancient Byzantium. (Summary taken from the author's introduction)

Empresses of Constantinople

A Small Boy and Others is a book of autobiography by Henry James published in 1913. The book covers James's earliest years and discusses his intellectually active family, his intermittent schooling, and his first trips to Europe. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Small Boy and Others

In 1869, the Atlantic published Stowe's article, The True Story Of Lady Byron's Life, a brief exposé of the famous poet Lord Byron's sordid private life which had led to a separation from his wife and drove him out of England, as told to her by Lady Byron herself before her death. Stowe wrote this article long after Lady Byron's death, when Lady Byron‘s impeccable reputation was being smeared across Europe by Byron's influential literary friends, and her trustees were doing nothing to defend her. Criticism against the article raged in the American and European press and damaged the Atlantic's circulation, but Stowe remained confident, and the following year, she expanded her article into this full-length exposé. Sprinkled throughout with Byron's biting poetry, Lady Byron's and other notable correspondence, and Stowe's outrage at the way women were belittled and treated as property during the Victorian period, the invectives in this book are, even by modern standards, intense! (Summary by Michele Fry, Soloist)

Lady Byron Vindicated

"It is hard to be an Emperor under such a Chancellor." lamented Wilhelm I, the first emperor of the German Empire. Otto von Bismarck is probably the most fascinating or the most boring statesman throughout German history depending on one's perspective. He led 3 victorious wars (against Denmark, Austria and France) and achieved unification of Germany. However, he tried very hard to avoid unnecessary wars. His vision of European political system led to more than 40 years' peace and prosperity of Europe or to World War I, also depending on one's perspective. - Summary by SS Kim

Bismarck and the Foundation of the German Empire

Ida Tarbell is best known today as the investigative journalist whose pieces on workings of the Standard Oil Company led to the creation of the Federal Trade Commission and the Clayton Antitrust Act. She was also an acclaimed biographer, known for her extensive works on the lives of Lincoln and Napoleon. Her research is exhaustive, and her prose is brisk and engaging. This biography finishes with an 115 page "sketch" of the Empress Josephine. - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi

Life of Napoleon

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) began writing his autobiography long before the 1906 publications of these Chapters from my Autobiography. He originally planned to have his memoirs published only after his death but realized, once he’d passed his 70th year, that a lot of the material might be OK to publish before his departure. These chapters were published in serial form in the North American Review during 1906-1907. While much of the material consists of stories about the people, places and incidents of his long life, there are also several sections from his daughter, which he calls “Susy’s biography of me”. (Summary by John Greenman)

Chapters from my Autobiography

"Mirrors of Moscow" by Louise Bryant is a collection of journalistic sketches and profiles that examines the political and social atmosphere of revolutionary Russia. Published in 1923, the book provides an insightful, though subjective, portrayal of the key figures and events that shaped Soviet Russia in the aftermath of the 1917 Revolution. These figures includes Lenin, his subordinates, Jacob Peters, Lunacharsky, Kalinin, Kollontai, Trotsky, and Tchicherin, among others. Summary by Realfunghi

The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a major literary achievement of the 18th century published in six volumes, was written by the celebrated English historian Edward Gibbon. The books cover the period of the Roman Empire after Marcus Aurelius, from just before 180 to 1453 and beyond, concluding in 1590. They take as their material the behavior and decisions that led to the decay and eventual fall of the Roman Empire in the East and West, offering an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell. Gibbon is sometimes called the first “modern historian of ancient Rome.” By virtue of its mostly objective approach and highly accurate use of reference material, Gibbon’s work was adopted as a model for the methodologies of 19th and 20th century historians. (Summary from Wikipedia)

History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vol. V

Volume II of a series containing anecdotes and stories, some well-known, others less so, of particular countries. This second volume supplements the first with additional stories of the discovery, colonization, founding, and early years of the United States of America, describing history for children and young adults in an exciting and novel manner. (Summary by Kalynda)

Historical Tales, Vol II: American II

Charles Beard was the most influential American historian of the early 20th century. He published hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. He graduated from DePauw University in 1898, where he met and eventually married Mary Ritter Beard, one of the founders of the first Greek-letter society for women, Kappa Alpha Theta. Many of his books were written in collaboration with his wife, whose own interests lay in feminism and the labor union movement.In 1921, Charles and Mary Beard published their textbook: History of the United States. A contemporaneous review stated: The authors… assume enough maturity in…students to justify a topical rather than a chronological treatment. They have dealt with movements, have sketched large backgrounds, have traced causes, and have discussed the interrelation of social and economic forces and politics. All this has been directed to the large purpose of helping the student to understand American today in all its national characteristics and as part of world civilization as well..The literary style is exceptionally clear and crisp, and the whole approach…is thought producing. As a textbook or handbook for the average citizen it ranks with very best.The book is divided into 7 parts: THE COLONIAL PERIOD, CONFLICT AND INDEPENDENCE, FOUNDATIONS OF THE UNION AND NATIONAL POLITICS, THE WEST AND JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY, SECTIONAL CONFLICT AND RECONSTRUCTION, NATIONAL GROWTH AND WORLD POLITICS, AND PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY AND THE WORLD WAR. (Summary from Wikipedia, Journal of History, and M.L. Cohen)

History of the United States, Vol. III

"THE author of this volume desires . . . to say . . . that it is his earnest hope that this record of a hero may be an aid to brave and true living in the Republic, so that the problems knocking at its door for solution may find the heads, the hands, and the hearts equal to the performance of the duties imposed by them upon the men and women of this generation. William Lloyd Garrison was brave and true. Bravery and truth were the secret of his marvelous career and achievements. May his countrymen and countrywomen imitate his example and be brave and true, not alone in emergent moments, but in everyday things as well." (Summary from the book)

William Lloyd Garrison, the Abolitionist

When Tocqueville visited America in the 1830s he found a thriving democracy of a kind he had not seen anywhere else. Many of his insightful observations American society and political system, found in the two volume book he published after his visit, still remain surprisingly relevant today. (Summary by the Bookworm)

Democracy in America Vol. I

Rabbi Loeb creates a clay man to house a perfect soul that he hopes will not be blighted by human prejudices. The plan does not go as he hoped... This is one of many stories about the golem, all of which involve Rabbi Loeb (Judah Loew ben Bezalel), a 16th-century talmudic scholar known as The Maharal. Rodolf Lother (Rudolf Lothar Spitzer) was an Austrian writer. This story was published in the B'nai Brith journal The Menorah in 1896 and subsequently included in the author's German language book Der Golem: Phantasien und Historien (1904). - Summary by Adrian Praetzellis

In Colonial Days

War and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, Voyna i mir; in original orthography: Война и миръ, Voyna i mir") is an epic novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy's time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (Summary by Wikipedia) Note: The novel is split up in 15 books and two epilogues. This is the recording of book fourteen, which covers events in the year 1812.
