Alicia en el País de las Maravillas (abreviado) cover

Alicia en el País de las Maravillas (abreviado)

Rate this audiobook

La entrada de Alicia en el panorama de las letras castellanas se produjo, en realidad, el 15 de noviembre de 1914 con la primera entrega de una versión que vio la luz en las páginas de una revista juvenil editada en Madrid, Los Muchachos. Semanario con regalos. (El curioso subtítulo de la publicación se explica porque incluía cupones para unos sorteos de juguetes y libros entre los lectores). La serie se prolongó en ocho entregas dominicales hasta el 5 de enero de 1915. El texto abreviado parece conceder más importancia a los capítulos iniciales y finales, así como al de la Merienda de Locos. Va acompañado de veintiséis ilustraciones firmadas por F. Mota (ocho portadas a dos tintas y dieciocho dibujos interiores en blanco y negro) que parecen influidas, en algunas composiciones, por los dibujos originales de John Tenniel. En cuanto a los autores de la versión, sabemos con respecto al ilustrador que F. Mota es el nombre con el que firmaba sus trabajos el pintor ceutí Fernando Fernández Mota, colaborador habitual de diversas publicaciones madrileñas a finales del siglo xix y principios del xx. Del traductor, en cambio, seguimos sin noticias. (Summary by Phileas Fogg)     [chương_files]

Why is the Negro Lynched? cover

Why is the Negro Lynched?

Rate this audiobook

We have felt that the most fitting tribute that we, of the Anti-Caste movement, can pay to the memory of this noble and faithful life is to issue broadcast—as far as the means entrusted to us will allow—his last great appeal for justice (uttered through the pages of “The A.M.E. Church Review” only a few months before his death). A slanderous charge against Negro morality has gone forth throughout the world and has been widely credited. The white American has had his say both North and South. On behalf of the accused, Frederick Douglass claims, in the name of justice, to be heard. (From the introduction)     [chương_files]

It includes a chapter that was authored by Dora Black, educational theorist and feminist author, and Russell’s spouse.

Complete Works of Brann, the Iconoclast, Volume 1

Rate this audiobook

William Cowper Brann earned the nickname “The Iconoclast” by fearlessly attacking established beliefs and institutions which he thought to be pompous and self-serving. He settled in the wild and wooly West Texas town of Waco in the late 1800s as a newspaper man – first as a writer and then as owner of newspaper he named “The Iconoclast”. During this period, Catholics and Protestants were duking it out over the soul of Texas and there was even further sectarian strife among Protestants. Brann wrote prolifically and aired his Politically Incorrect views with vigor and colorful language. Described as a “slouch-hatted, gun-toting, beer-drinking, woman-worshiping man,” he assailed Baptists, Prohibition, blacks and universities as though engaged in a life-or-death gunfight; and actually he was killed in a gunfight at age 43. After he was shot in the back, drew his own gun and killed the man who had bushwacked him AND THEN walked directly to the jail before dying the next morning. He wrote entertaining, elevated prose; but occasionally colored his stories with barnyard terminology. Despite his blatant chauvinism, his voice was a reaction against many of the societal extremes of the day. ( William Jones )     [chương_files]
