One of the two Historical novels Charles Dickens wrote, Barnaby Rudge is set around the ‘Gordon' riots in London in 1780. The story begins in 1775 with Barnaby, his Mother, and his talking Raven Grip, fleeing their home from a blackmailer, and going into hiding. Joe Willet similarly finds he must leave his home to escape his Father's ire, leaving behind the woman he loves. Five years later these characters, and many others whose lives we have followed, find themselves caught up in the horrific Protestant rioting led by Sir George Gordon. The mob which reaches 100,000 strong, gets out of hand, and there is danger to all in the path of their destruction. Charles Dickens skillfully weaves the lives of his many loving and many wicked characters through the rioting, and shows how this uprising changes so many lives. As a side note, Edgar Allan Poe is said to have been inspired by Barnaby's raven Grip when he wrote his famous poem,'The Raven'.(Summary by Mil Nicholson)

Les caractères by Jean de La Bruyère (1645 - 1696)
Genre(s): Culture & Heritage Fiction
Read by: Christiane Jehanne, czandra, Jean-Pierre, Henry K. Noble in French
Cover design by Annise.
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 11 - De l'homme (partie 2)
00:41:10 - 12 - Des jugements (partie 1)
01:22:40 - 13 - Des jugements (partie 2)

02:38:27 - 15 - De quelques usages
03:29:28 - 16 - De la chaire
03:58:34 - 17 - Des esprits forts
En 1688, La Bruyère traduit les caractères de Théophraste, un auteur de l'antiquité grecque, en y ajoutant ses propres observations sur ceux de son temps. Devant le succès, il n'aura de cesse de les augmenter jusqu'à en faire l'œuvre indépendante que nous connaissons.
Théophraste dépeignait des caractères, c'est-à-dire des types d'hommes de son propre contexte historique: l'antiquité grecque. La Bruyère en reprenant ce principe, l'adapte à son siècle.
Ainsi leur lecture comme celle de Théophraste nous permet de découvrir un siècle, une époque, une civilisation. Au delà de cet intérêt documentaire et malgré des passages parfois obscurs, ils surprennent souvent par leur actualité. (Summary by Jean-Pierre)

The two eldest Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, one of whom (Elinor) embraces practicality and restraint while the other (Marianne) gives her whole heart to every endeavor. When the Dashwoods - mother Mrs. Dashwood, Elinor, Marianne, and youngest sister Margaret - are sent, almost impoverished, to a small cottage in Devonshire after the death of their father and the machinations of their brother's wife, they accept their new circumstances with as much cheer as they can muster even though their brother and his wife have taken over the family estate and fortune. Marianne finds herself falling in love with the dashing Willoughby, who ends up being not all that he appears. Elinor, the more sensible of the two, falls for Edward Ferrars, a match that seems much more suitable. All of these pleasant connections are, however, soon disrupted. Willoughby leaves and ignores Marianne. Elinor finds out an unexpected secret about Ferrars that puts her on her caution in pursuing their relationship. As these complications develop, Marianne soon finds herself distraught despite having attracted another suitor, the reliable, but older, Colonel Brandon. Elinor steps into the breach to try to help her sister regain her equilibrium. Both learn what a broken heart can feel like and adjust in their own separate ways. Since this is an Austen novel and a romance, be assured that all comes right in the end. (Summary by Michelle Crandall)
