Life of Prince Metternich by George Bruce MALLESON (1825 - 1898)
Genre(s): Biography & Autobiography, Political Science
Read by: Pamela Nagami in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 17 - Ch. 10: Conclusion--Character. 1848-1859
Klemens von Metternich (1773-1859) first foreign minister, and then chancellor of the Austrian Empire was a great diplomat: crafty, manipulative, and single-minded in his determination to overthrow Napoleon and his revolutionary ideals and to reestablish the European monarchical system. In this short 1888 biography, the British officer, Colonel G. B. Malleson, describes how the charming, aristocratic Metternich devoted countless hours to winning Napoleon's trust and to buying time for his country, until a rearmed Austria, at the head of the Sixth Coalition, was able to defeat the still-formidable Corsican. From 1815 until his downfall amid the revolutions of 1848, Malleson writes of Metternich that he devoted 'all his power, all his influence, all his untiring energy, to the forging of new fetters for the human race.' (summary by Pamela Nagami)

An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews (Dramatic Version) by Henry FIELDING (1707 - 1754)
Genre(s): Dramatic Readings, General Fiction, Humorous Fiction
Read by: in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - Part 1
00:46:15 - 02 - Part 2
An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews, or simply Shamela, as it is more commonly known, is a satirical novel written by Henry Fielding and first published in April 1741 under the name of Mr. Conny Keyber. Fielding never owned to writing the work, but it is widely considered to be his. It is a direct attack on the then-popular novel Pamela (November 1740) by Fielding's contemporary and rival Samuel Richardson and is composed, like Pamela, in epistolary form. Shamela is written as a shocking revelation of the true events which took place in the life of Pamela Andrews, the main heroine of Pamela. From Shamela we learn that, instead of being a kind, humble, and chaste servant-girl, Pamela (whose true name turns out to be Shamela) is in fact a wicked and lascivious creature, scheming to entrap her master, Squire Booby, into marriage.
