The Marble Faun is Hawthorne's most unusual romance. Writing on the eve of the American Civil War, Hawthorne set his story in a fantastical Italy. The romance mixes elements of a fable, pastoral, Gothic novel, and travel guide. In the spring of 1858, Hawthorne was inspired to write his romance when he saw the Faun of Praxiteles in a Roman sculpture gallery. The theme, characteristic of Hawthorne, is guilt and the Fall of Man. The four main characters are Miriam, a beautiful painter who is compared to Eve, Beatrice Cenci, Lady Macbeth, Judith, and Cleopatra, and is being pursued by a mysterious, threatening Model; Hilda, an innocent copyist who is compared to the Virgin Mary; Kenyon, a sculptor, who represents rationalist humanism; and Donatello, the Count of Monti Beni, who is compared to Adam, resembles the Faun of Praxiteles, and is probably only half human.

The Biography of a Grizzly (version 2) by Ernest Thompson SETON (1860 - 1946) Genre(s): Animals & Nature Read by: Phil Chenevert in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - PART I THE CUBHOOD OF WAHB 00:35:04 - 02 - PART II THE DAYS OF HIS STRENGTH 01:04:38 - 03 - PART III THE WANING Wahb (meaning White Bear) is an orphaned Grizzly Bear who learns to respect his fears, fight for peace, and trust the healing powers of a stinky hot-spring. The story is aptly titled The Biography of a Grizzly because it is about the life of a Grizzly. Seton writes with a folksy tone that will enlighten children to the gore and war that Grizzly Bears endure. I thought it was fun to learn (through Wahb's story) about their life span, their diet, their ability to survive gunshots and bear-traps. Beautifully written, the author captures each moment in a way that you almost feel as though you're in the story. If a bear had the ability to write his story, in short, a legacy, this would surely be one that 'bears' repeating (phil chenevert and wikipedia ) More information: http://librivox.org/the-biography-of-a-grizzly-by-ernest-thompson-seton/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith by Reuben Archer TORREY (1856 - 1928) Genre(s): Christianity - Commentary Read by: MaryAnn in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 15 - Is Future Punishment Everlasting? We were having a great many accessions to our church. While many of these came by letter form other churches, many of them were new converts and had had practically no systematic instruction in the fundamental truths of the Christina faith, so we announced a series of sermons on The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith. There was immediately a large increase in the attendance at the services where these addresses were given, and this increase has kept up until on the last Lord's Day we had much the largest attendance we have ever had, excepting Easter Sunday. Many have testified to the blessing received form these sermons, and there has been a great demand that the sermons be printed for general circulation. It is hoped that this volume will be useful to other pastors in suggesting lines of teaching in their regular pastoral work, and also that it may be used widely by pastors and others for circulation among Christians. We live in a day in which many of our church members are all at sea as to what they believe on the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. These sermons have already helped many through their delivery. It is hoped they will reach and help far more in the printed form. (R. A. Torrey) More information: https://librivox.org/the-fundamental-doctrines-of-the-christian-faith-by-reuben-archer-torrey/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Many of these sayings are familiar to all . . . 'a penny saved is a penny earned' . . . 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' . . . but there are many more for you to laugh at, ponder over and learn from! Most were not invented by him, but these little gems of wisdom Franklin gleaned from all over the world are what made his Almanack so wildly popular, and himself a wealthy man. - Summary by Michele Fry, Soloist More information: http://librivox.org/poor-richards-almanack-by-benjamin-franklin/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Splendid team work, however, has made success possible.Every author represented, every worker on the team, has gratuitously contributed his or her services; and every dollar realized by the serial and book publication of 'The Sturdy Oak' will be devoted to the Suffrage Cause. But the novel itself is first of all a very human story of American life today. It neither unduly nor unfairly emphasizes the question of equal suffrage, and it should appeal to all lovers of good fiction.
