A History of the Popes

by Joseph McCabe.

Narrated by Denis Daly.

Joseph McCabe's study of papal history is unusual in that he takes a hostile view of the Roman Catholic Church in general, and of the papacy in particular. Raised as a Catholic, McCabe was ordained as a Franciscan priest in 1890, but by 1897 had abandoned both the priesthood and the Catholic faith and was in the process of establishing himself as an ardent secularist. He published over 200 books, many of which were critiques of the history and contemporary activities of the Catholic Church.

A History of the Popes is divided into four books:

"The Age of Development (AD. 50-450)",

"The Dark Age (AD. 450-1050)",

"The Age of Power (AD. 1050-1550)",

"The Age of Disintegration (AD. 1550-1939)".

The history concludes during the reign of Pius XI, who today is hailed as a hero by conservative Catholics for his staunch opposition to modernism, but who has also been the target of strong criticism elsewhere for his accommodating stance toward Mussolini and Hitler. This book is the fascinating story of a unique autocracy which has survived the fall of many empires and which today still claims the allegiance of over one billion followers.

Death and the Devil: A Dance of Death in Three Scenes

by Frank Wedekind.

Translated by Samuel A. Eliot and Denis Daly.

Cast

The Marquis Casti-Piani - John Burlinson;

Fräulein Elfriede von Malchus - Amanda Friday

Herr König - Mark Crowle-Groves

Lisiska - Leanne Yau.

Stage directions read by Denis Daly.

Audio edited by Denis Daly.

This play forms part of a tetralogy which focuses on one of Wedekind's obsessive themes: the destructive interplay between primal sexual urges and social convention. Each play revolves around a powerful young female character, who has the power to control and captivate men, but who in turn is destroyed by the exercise of that power.

In this play, the dominant female is Fräulein Elfriede von Malchus, an idealistic crusader who visits a brothel operated by the cynical impresario Casti-Piani in order to rescue a young woman who has fallen into his clutches.

In a perverse way, Wedekind's plays are morality tales, in which he gives a new twist to the biblical admonition; "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." In most cases, when characters finally do become aware of who they are and what they have done, the knowledge leads to their destruction. In Death and the Devil, Casti-Piani kills himself when he learns that prostitution can actually provide its victims with a path to moral glorification.

Philosophy of Mind

by G.W.F. Hegel

Narrated by Sarah Bacaller

This text draws together central components of Hegel's philosophical system as he explores the development of Mind (Spirit, Geist) in its individual, communal and conceptual aspects. Translator William Wallace writes (1894): 'I here offer a translation of the third or last part of Hegel's encyclopaedic sketch of philosophy, Philosophy of Mind. The volume, like its subject, stands complete in itself. But it may also be regarded as a supplement or continuation of the work begun in my version of his logic.'

In this philosophy of mind, contradiction and assimilation invoke constant change and development, as Hegel demonstrates the intrinsic fluidity of thought. While published in 1894, Wallace's translation remains a sound, historically significant translation of Hegel's work.
