'...well orated by reader George Vafiadis. The language and sentiment are not as outmoded as some listeners might expect and it definitely feels patriotic to hear again the fundamentals of America's beginnings.' - - Kliatt Magazine

George Washington wrote, 'I find that Common Sense is working a powerful change there (Virginia) in the minds of many men.' The passion of the patriot Thomas Paine comes straight on and one can better understand the forces that shaped this country.

Thomas Painewas born in Thetford, England, in 1737. His father was a staymaker. Thomas worked as a tax collector and was let go for petitioning for higher pay.

Title: Black Monk and Other Stories

Author: Anton Chekhov

Narrator: Ralph Cosham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:15:48

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-00

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Short Stories

Summary:

Chekhov can characterize with a single well-selected detail. He sums up relationships among a group of people, or the beliefs held by an entire country, by finding those key objects that crystallize his characters' strongest emotions. These four stories dramatize an array of obsessions that are at once purely Russian and deeply universal. Ralph Cosham's voice is so clear and unaccented as he reads these tales that he is a bit surprising; the complex Russian names stand out, jolting the listeners. But that's the only shock here, as Cosham fits his delivery to Chekhov's style, surging to pile description on description, then pausing, to give entire scenes a unified feel and pace.
