A Yellow Journalist by Miriam MICHELSON read by Lee Ann Howlett Part 2/2 | Full Audio Book
A Yellow Journalist by Miriam MICHELSON (1870 - 1942)
Genre(s): Action & Adventure Fiction, General Fiction, Detective Fiction
Read by: Lee Ann Howlett in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 13 - 13 - A Boss, a Respected Proprietor, and a Whipping Boy
00:37:35 - 14 - 14 - Some Japanese Prints
Rhoda Massey is a young, sharp reporter for a daily newspaper in San Francisco. After proving herself an astute and fearless investigator on her first big story, she spends most of her waking hours running down leads and doing (almost) anything it takes to produce headline grabbing tales and to be the first one to do so. She must compete with her male colleagues where she works but also with those from other newspapers. Rhoda discovers it useful to be pretty and small in stature (great for eavesdropping from tight and unusual locations) but it's her shrewd mind and her nose for news that propel her to pursue stories in dangerous places and, sometimes, from dangerous characters. Just how far is she prepared to go as a ‘yellow' journalist who wants the truth and at what price to her integrity? Then there's the respected and handsome reporter, Ted Thompson, from a rival newspaper. Will he have a place in Rhoda's life? (Summary by Lee Ann Howlett)

The extraordinary child-adult Prince Myshkin, confined for several years in a Swiss sanatorium suffering from severe epilepsy, returns to Russia to claim his inheritance and to find a place in healthy human society. The teeming St Petersburg community he enters is far from receptive to an innocent like himself, despite some early successes and relentless pursuit by grotesque fortune-hunters. His naive gaucheries give rise to extreme reactions among his new acquaintance, ranging from anguished protectiveness to mockery and contempt. But even before reaching the city, during the memorable train journey that opens the novel, he has encountered the demonic Rogozhin, the son of a wealthy merchant - who is in thrall to the equally doomed Nastasia Filippovna: beautiful, capricious and destructively neurotic, she joins with the two weirdly contrasted men in a spiraling dance of death… (Summary by Martin Geeson)

Her good-for-nothing brother, convinced that his grandfather is hoarding a great fortune intended for Nell, joins forces with Quilp to hunt them down, so that he can marry her off to his easily-led friend Nick and share in the fortune. Can Nell elude this fate? The first three chapters are told from the point of view of Master Humphrey, of Dickens' other work, 'Master Humphrey's Clock.' ( Brad 'Hamlet' Filippone)
