Title: Idylls of the King

Narrator: Margaret Melosh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9:44:01

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-19

Publisher: Bookwire USD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

Idylls of the King is a series of twelve narrative poems which recite the legend of King Arthur, his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal of him, and the rise and fall of Arthur's kingdom. The whole work recounts Arthur's attempt and failure to lift up mankind and create a perfect kingdom, from his coming to power to his death at the hands of the traitor Mordred. Individual poems detail the deeds of various knights, including Lancelot, Geraint, Galahad, and Balin and Balan, and also Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. There is little transition between Idylls, but the central figure of Arthur links all the stories. Tennyson's metaphors of nature are derived from observations of his own surroundings, collected over the course of several years.

Title: Quicksand

Author: Nella Larsen

Narrator: Margaret Melosh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:14:18

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-19

Publisher: Bookwire USD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Black Literature

Summary:

Helga Crane yearns to become more than she is and to feel the world more intensely. She consequently dismisses her native Chicago, New York's Harlem, Copenhagen even. She also passes on opportunities for extended family, for marriage, and for true love. What is always latent in this truly outstanding work; is how much the background of 1920's American racial segregation defines Helga's malaise, and how much - paradoxically - is of herown doing... The title of this novel is tragically fitting: living in a country with so much unresolved tensions, so much injustice and hypocrisy and violence could very well feel like walking in quicksand.
