Cradock Nowell Vol. 2
Cradock Nowell: a Tale of the New Forest is a three-volume novel by R. D. Blackmore published in 1866. Set in the New Forest and in London, it follows the fortunes of Cradock Nowell who, at the end of Volume 1, is thrown out of his family home by his father following the suspicious death of Cradock’s twin brother Clayton. It was Blackmore’s second novel, and the novel he wrote prior to his most famous work Lorna Doone. ( Wikipedia) *Warning: Some listeners may be offended by some of the language. Words that were considered acceptable in the nineteenth century are not always politically correct today.

Fígaro. Colección de artículos dramáticos, literarios, políticos y de costumbres.
Larra fue un eminente articulista, con una gran claridad y vigor en su prosa. Esta obra recopila gran parte de sus artículos publicados en distintos periódicos a través de distintos pseudónimos. En ellos combate la organización del Estado, ataca al absolutismo y al carlismo, se burla de la sociedad, y rechaza la vida familiar. Los males de España, que identifica con la ignorancia, el atraso, la falta de educación y de cultura, son el tema central de su obra crítica y satírica. Descontento con el país y con sus hombres, escribe artículos críticos (En este país, El castellano viejo, El día de difuntos de 1836, Vuelva usted mañana…), contra la censura (Lo que no se puede decir no se debe decir), la pena capital (Los barateros o El desafío y la pena de muerte), contra el pretendiente carlista (¿Qué hace en Portugal su majestad?) y el carlismo (Nadie pase sin hablar al portero), contra el uso incorrecto del lenguaje (Por ahora, Cuasi, Las palabras). Es considerado uno de los padres del periodismo en España. [chương_files]

Anglo-American Memories
“These Memories [1911] were written in the first instance for Americans and have appeared week by week each Sunday in the New York Tribune…. they are mainly concerned with men of exceptional mark and position in America and Europe whom I have met, and with events of which I had some personal knowledge. There is no attempt at a consecutive story.” (Preface) Smalley was an American journalist born in Massachusetts in 1833; he wrote from and about many places in America (including the Civil War) and Europe. – Summary by Book Preface and David Wales [chương_files]
