Rate this audiobook

Eça de Queirós (1845-1900), um dos mais importantes escritores portugueses da história, destacou-se pelos romances Os Maias e O Crime do Padre Amaro. Cartas da Inglaterra, de 1905, resultou do período em que viveu e trabalhou em Newcastle e Bristol no serviço consular. A obra, pouco conhecida do grande público, apresenta uma faceta política do autor, expondo sua visão analítica e ensaísta. Nela, Eça tece críticas aos acontecimentos contemporâneos, tanto no que se refere aos portugueses quanto aos estrangeiros. Os destaques icluem as festividades na Inglaterra, sugestões de livros, ideias controversas acerca da situação judaica e o comportamento do povo inglês diante de outras nações. – Summary by Adriana Sacciotto     [chương_files]

This book is not exactly a novel, as presented, but rather a sampler of characters of St. Petersburg of the early 20th century. However, as it is presented as a novel, let’s note that, as far as I could tell, this is the first Russian novel written by a woman. The Note to the Readers is read by Hanna Ponomarenko. Зинаида Гиппиус сама говорит что это книга не о революции или революционерах. Книга о реакции тоже не вышла, вопреки намерениям автора. Как жанр, это не роман (хотя развязка присутствует, и мастерская!), а скорее картины нравов разных слоёв петербургского общества начала ХХ века, и именно это делает книгу интересной. Однако, раз уж книга объявлена как роман, то надо отметить что, насколько мне удалось установить, это первый русский роман написанный женщиной. Обращение к читателям от имени автора прочла Анна Пономаренко. (Summary by Mark Chulsky)     [chương_files]

Birth Control and the State

Rate this audiobook

This essay is one of a great number that endorse the principle of eugenics, a controversial study and practice that aims for society or government to ‘self-direct’ the course of human evolution. In this essay, one finds discussion of contraception, abortion, population growth and war, as well as questions of ‘race.’ One finds here a use of the term ‘race’ meaning something far different than what is used today. This is a provocative essay. – Summary by KevinS     [chương_files]

“All Roads Lead to Calvary is a 1919 novel by the British writer Jerome K. Jerome. It was one of the last works written by Jerome, better known for his Three Men in a Boat, and shows the influence of the First World War on him. It is a Bildungsroman in which a Cambridge University educated woman Joan Allway becomes a journalist and then a wartime ambulance driver. She encounters various people, gaining new experiences and confronting many of the moral issues of the day . .. In 1921 the novel was turned into a silent British film All Roads Lead to Calvary directed by Kenelm Foss.” – Summary by Wikipedia     [chương_files]

Rate this audiobook

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89) was an English poet, educated at Oxford. Entering the Roman Catholic Church in 1866 and the Jesuit novitiate in 1868, he was ordained in 1877. Upon becoming a Jesuit he burned much of his early verse and abandoned the writing of poetry. However, the sinking in 1875 of a German ship carrying five Franciscan nuns, exiles from Germany, inspired him to write one of his most impressive poems “The Wreck of the Deutschland.” Thereafter he produced his best poetry, including “God’s Grandeur,” “The Windhover,” “The Leaden Echo,” and “The Golden Echo.”     [chương_files]
