Greybeards at Play by G. K. CHESTERTON (1874 - 1936)
Genre(s): Poetry
Read by: 5pak in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - A Dedication to E.C.B.
00:02:33 - 02 - The Oneness of the Philosopher with Nature
00:04:30 - 03 - Of the Dangers Attending Altruism on the High Seas
00:07:11 - 04 - On the Disastrous Spread of Æstheticism in All Classes
00:09:55 - 05 - Envoy
G.K. Chesterton's first publication, 'Greybeards at Play' is a collection of poetry and accompanying illustrations. The work is marked by the irreverent whimsy and ancient delight that would eventually be recognized as Chesterton's signature style. Short (only four poems long and a dedication), playful, and with a touch of awe, Chesterton's first piece (written at 26) is appropriately titled: it is the work of an amateur, mature in his spirit, young in his play. - (Summary by 5pak)

The Jolly Corner by Henry JAMES (1843 - 1916)
Genre(s): Horror & Supernatural Fiction
Read by: Nicholas Clifford in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - Chapter 1
00:32:59 - 02 - Chapter 2
01:21:28 - 03 - Chapter 3
'The Jolly Corner,' published in 1908, is considered by many to be a ghost story ranking second only to 'The Turn of the Screw.' James's protagonist, Spencer Brydon, is an American of 56, returned to New York after 33 years in Europe, where he has apparently accomplished little while living off his New York rentals. His friendship with Alice Staverton, and his engagement in the development of a property awaken him to the possibilities that might have been his, had he chosen a different course of life. The 'ghost,' if that's what it is, is that other self that might have been, and his confrontation with that self and its possibilities leads to a deeply unsettling, yet ambiguous, conclusion.

The Seventh Man by Max Brand, tells part of the story of the larger-than-life western character, Dan Barry, known as 'Whistling Dan,' and his alter-ego companions, Black Bart, the wolf-dog, and Satan, the indomitable black stallion. It's also the story of Kate Cumberland and the incredible five-year-old daughter of Kate and Dan, Joan. We first see Dan as a gentle, caring man with a deep sense of fairness. But then, after six years of a peaceful life in their mountain cabin Dan, more feral than human, sets out to revenge an injustice by killing seven men. Ultimately, it is his devotion to his daughter and Kate's love for the child that brings about the climax of the tale.Warning: don't look for a typical cowboy story here - it's far deeper and stronger than that.

The Masquerader by Katherine Cecil THURSTON (1875 - 1911)
Genre(s): General Fiction, Detective Fiction, Romance
Read by: Tom Weiss in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 10 - 10 - Chapters 28 through 30
00:36:00 - 11 - 11 - Chapters 21 through 34
The Masquerader is one of two Katherine Cecil Thurston's books that appeared on the Publisher's Weekly best-seekers list in 1905 (The other, The Gambler, is also in the Librivox collection). The Masquerader is part mystery, part romance and part political thriller - all tied up in one neat package. Nature has a way of sometimes making two people nearly indistinguishable in appearance. Such is the premise for this book. John Chilcote, a British politician, and John Loder, a man down on his luck meet by accident one night during one of London's worst fogs. Chilcote, addicted to morphine, needs to escape his political responsibilities and presents an offer to Loder to exchange places occasionally. Loder, reluctant at first, finally accepts the proposal and finds he fits into Chilcote's role - perhaps better than Chilcote himself. The exchanges become more frequent and lengthy. Loder, finding his way, discovers he is worthy of Chilcote's position, especially during an international crisis, but when Chilcote reclaims his life, Loder's accomplishments try to unravel. Two women are intimately involved in this story - one is Chilcote's wife, Eve, who is a wife of convenience rather than love. The second is Lady Astrupp. We will say little about Lady Astrupp except that she adds a great deal of suspense to the story. In such a charade, things do not always go as expected. Does Chilcote break his drug habit? What becomes of Loder? Does Eve become suspicious as a wife might? Is the masquerade exposed by……but then I would be telling you more than you should know beforehand.(Summary by Tom Weiss)

02:49:18 - 36 - Chapter 32
Ranny Ransome is an idealistic young man, devoted to exuberant gymnastic exercises and to fighting 'flabbiness' in his own life, body and soul. He loves the girlish and athletic Winny Dymond, and particularly loves participating with her in the Combined Maze, a choreographed, intricate, exhilarating group gymnastic ritual in which the young men and women of the Polytechnic Gymnasium demonstrate their skills. Unfortunately, Ranny falls under the spell of the seductive Violet, a sexual free spirit who wants nothing more than to live an untrammelled life on her own terms. When, to her astonishment and horror, Violet becomes pregnant, Ranny dutifully marries her against her will, entangling himself and her in a deadly new Combined Maze of social conventions intended to suppress and subdue the elemental passions that give color to Life. May Sinclair draws her readers in with a quiet, unobtrusive, Victorian prose that seems completely in tune with the conventional proprieties of her society, but goes on in the same seditious, unassuming tone to tell stories of sensuality, adultery, seduction, divorce, and betrayal, quietly protesting the smothering conventions of a society that feared passion in all its forms. Ranny's mesmerizing struggle to maintain his fundamental decency while remaining true to his real love hangs in the balance to the last page. (summary by Expatriate)

TRIAL
librivox-ubUKEo30YUo
Trial of Susan B. Anthony by ANONYMOUS ( - )
Genre(s): Modern (19th C)
Read by: Maria Kasper in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 21 - Speech by Matilda Joslyn Gage, Part 3
00:24:27 - 22 - Judge Hunt and the Right of Trial by Jury - by John Hooker
In 1872, after the ratification of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, the women's suffrage movement in the United States adopted a new strategy. Arguing that the right to vote was one of the 'privileges and immunities' guaranteed to every citizen by that amendment, the women were inspired to put this interpretation to the test in practice by attempting to register and vote in the November election. In Rochester, NY, fourteen women, including Susan B. Anthony, were successful. Within days after having cast their votes, however, they were arrested, as were the three election inspectors who had received their votes. Suspecting that a Rochester jury might be sympathetic to Miss Anthony, the prosecution requested a change of venue to the nearby city of Canandaigua, where trials were held in June 1873. Intense public interest in the proceedings led the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle to publish this pamphlet in 1874. Here is the transcript of Miss Anthony's trial, including (in section 9) her justly famous remarks at her sentencing. Here also is the transcript of the election inspectors' trial, as well as addresses given by Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Joslyn Gage, and an analysis by John Hooker critical of the trial's irregularities.
