The Pat Hobby Stories F. Scott Fitzgerland, Kerry Shale

Summary

9781906147914 Pub Date: 7/1/11 $26.95 CD-Audio / CD standard audio format

A collection of humourous stories about unscrupulous film writer Pat Hobby, a relic from the early days of Hollywood, looking for success in the changing world of the movies. Fitzgerald's collection paints a comic portrait of a man unwilling to accept his fate as a thing of the past, an artless, insensitive writer suffering as the decades leave silent film behind. Hobby is stuck in a world which doesn't respect its elders, particularly not those as lazy and scheming as he. Kerry Shale is a Canadian actor with an extensive career in radio, TV and theatre. He injects much wit and atmosphere into his reading and interpretation of Fitzgerald's famous stories. Unabridged.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying George Orwell, Richard E. Grant

Summary

9781906147860 Pub Date: 1/1/11 $34.95 CD-Audio / CD standard audio format 1 pages Carton Qty: 0 Fiction / Classics FIC004000

Orwell's darkly comic novel centers around the life of Gordon Comstock, onetime advertising copywriter turned bookshop employee and struggling poet. Gordon's disdain for money and artistic compromise preclude his earning enough of a living to escape constant public embarrassment. On top of this, it gives him terrible trouble holding on to his girlfriend. Unwilling to dilute his stubborn stance on capitalistic pursuits, he constantly obsesses "money, money, money, all is money." Gordon's problems mount while his only published volume, Mice, gathers dust on a shelf, and his attempts at a new collection stagnate. Written during Orwell's time living in Notting Hill and set in London during "the year of blight, 1934," the novel is a fine example of Orwell's wit, and a masterpiece of fiction. It also hints towards themes about power and relationships that would color his later works Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. Reader Richard E. Grant is one Britain's best-loved actors, and best remembered for his role in Withnail & I. In 1997 Grant also appeared as Gordon Comstock in a film versi...

Gulliver's Travels

Jonathan Swift, Philip Jackson

Summary


Gulliver's Travels has been in print since its first publication in 1726, due to its popularity with young and old alike. As well as a wildly imaginative tale of travel and adventure, it is a comment on human nature and an overblown explorer's story, rich in symbolism and humor. Lemuel Gulliver, an English surgeon, sets sail on expeditions to extraordinary worlds. He is 12 times larger than the inhabitants of Lilliput, who recruit him into their military, and equally as small to the people of Brobdingnag. His journeys grow stranger and stranger. Satirical and absurd in its twists and turns, which invariably see Gulliver either fleeing or ejected by the strange tribes of people he meets, this CSA WORD production will be a welcome addition to any audio collection. Reader Philip Jackson is an English actor known for his television and film roles.

Author Bio Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was a leading Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, poet and novelist.


Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man Siegfried Sassoon, James Wilby

Summary


George Sherston-the "I" of the book-is a shy, sensitive, and rather lonely boy living on the Kent/Sussex border in the early years of the 20th century. His great loves are sports, horses and hunting, and the story is told through his gentle and comic adventures at point-to-point races or village cricket matches in a privileged pre-War England. The picture he paints of the Garden of England in the age of pony carts, bicycles and very slow trains is enchanting. Rich in historical detail and resonance, Sassoon's semi-autobiographical novel is also a poignant coming-of-age tale; with innocence and naivety abruptly crushed by the outbreak of War. George has to face a bleakly different world when he joins up and goes to the Front, to the mud and death and din of trench-life. Bit by bit it robs him of practically everything he values in life, and amidst the carnage he loses some of his dearest friends. Narrator James Wilby is a successful British stage, television and film actor.

Author Bio Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was a British soldier, writer and war poet.

The George Eliot Collection George Eliot

Summary


Middlemarch: Described by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people," Middlemarch follows the novel's central characters Dorothea and Lydgate as they both respectively quest to find heroism in everyday deeds and gestures. As their stories intermingle in many vital ways, Eliot's story is both moving and very thought-provoking. The Mill on the Floss: As Eliot's omniscient narrator states towards the end of this story: "Nature repairs her ravages-but not all." This theme runs strongly through this tale of a brother and sister growing up by the ever-changing river living in Dovecote Mill, their family home. Governed by very different impulses, Lucy and Tom, the story's protagonists, drift apart-though ironically, and tragically, it is the river that will force reconciliation. Silas Marner: Our eponymous hero is outcast from his Methodist community and travels south to the village of Raveloe, where he is treated with suspicion. When an unwanted child is abandoned, Silas is forced to quit his isolation, and in caring for the girl, he learns the true natur...

Day of the Triffids

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was descended from a long line of Russian nobles. His high birth and refined intelligence set him apart from other Russian writers of the time. He spent a short time in university before joining the military as an officer. After a short time, he left the army, appalled by the waste and horrors of conflict. Increasingly disillusioned with Russian society, Tolstoy evolved into a political and revolutionary figure. He developed ideas such as peaceful protest; ideals which were later upheld by iconic leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Writers including Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf have praised Tolstoy as an inspiration. Tolstoy's works are accessible to all, poignantly human, and make for an illustrious listening experience.

Machiavellian adj. elaborately cunning; scheming, unscrupulous. Machiavellianism n. (N. dei Machiavello, Florentine statesman and political writer d. 1527, who advocated resort to morally questionable methods in the interests of the State). How remarkable that an Italian living in the 15th and 16th centuries should lend his name to a word still in common usage in the English language today. The Prince has remained a prominent classic ever since its publication in 1513; valued for its shrewd psychological insight, powerful words and prophetic quality. And even today, it has never lost its power to shock and influence. Ian Richardson played machiavellian Francis Urquhart in the hit TV series The House of Cards, To Play the King and The Final Cut. His formidable reading of this modern unabridged translation is an accessible and entertaining way in to a truly compelling world view. Unabridged.

Author Bio Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) held office as a senior civil servant for 14 years until the downfall of the Republic in 1512. No longer officially employed to impart advice, instead Machiavelli poured out his ideas and resentments in his writings as a gift for Prince Lorenzo de Medici. The Prince was the Italian's only major work.
