Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan, Vol. 1 by John Lloyd STEPHENS (1805 - 1852)
Genre(s): Travel & Geography
Read by: Sue Anderson in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 25 - 25 - Survey of the Canal; Horrors of Civil War
The year is 1838. The scene is the dense Honduran forest along the Copán River. Two men, John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, are about to rediscover Mayan civilization. Their guide, slashing through the rampant growth with his machete, leads them to a structure with steps up the side, shaped like a pyramid. Next they see a stone column, fourteen feet high, sculptured on the front with a portrait of a man, 'solemn, stern and well fitted to excite terror,' covered on the sides with hieroglyphics, and with workmanship 'equal to the finest monuments of the Egyptians.' Stephens records these discoveries and also his travels in Central America, where he had been sent by President Van Buren as special ambassador to the ill-fated Republic of Central America. The republic being engulfed in civil war when Stephens arrives in Guatemala, he finds himself dodging revolutionary armies while he hunts for a 'legitimate government' to which to present his credentials. Catherwood, meanwhile, directs his immense artistic talent to illustrating views of Mayan architecture. Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan was a best seller in its day and has been called an 'Indiana Jones' saga by modern reviewers. (Summary by Sue Anderson)

The book is set in New England in the early 20th century in an old established community where times are rapidly changing but nonetheless the rules of a hierarchical society still hold good. Thor, a rich doctor from an old family, in trying to help Rosie, the poor woman he truly loves, offers her money so that his brother Claude can marry her and have the things they will need in life. Things unravel in the close-knit community with an intriguing mixture of philosophy and romance as the younger generation learns to be free in their pursuit of love and life. The approach of the older generation to the different ways of the younger and the church all add to the involvement. - Summary by Simon Evers

Der Kalender 'Rheinländischer Hausfreund' erschien erstmals 1807, in dem „lehrreiche Nachrichten und lustige Geschichten' veröffentlicht wurden. Hebel selbst verfasste jedes Jahr etwa 30 dieser Geschichten und hatte somit maßgeblichen Anteil am großen Erfolg des Hausfreundes. 1811 erschien obendrein das Schatzkästlein des rheinischen Hausfreundes, eine Sammlung der interessantesten Kalendergeschichten. Weitere Auflagen folgten 1816 und 1827. Hebels Geschichten erzählten Neuigkeiten, kleinere Geschichten, Anekdoten, Schwänke, abgewandelte Märchen und Ähnliches. Sie dienten der Unterhaltung, ließen den Leser aber auch eine Lehre aus dem Text ziehen. Die wohl bekanntesten Kalendergeschichten Hebels sind 'Unverhofftes Wiedersehen' und 'Kannitverstan'.

00:44:44 - 48 - Letter XLVIII

01:43:06 - 54 - Letter LIV
01:57:06 - 55 - Letter LV
Volume 4 continues the story in epistolary form of the despoliation of Clarissa, as all the forces of society and the personal nefariousness of the devilish rake Lovelace conspire to overcome her virtue. One of the earliest and certainly the longest novel in the English language, with a wide-ranging influence not only on the English novel, but also on nineteenth century European literature at large, it is gripping, twisted and a magnificent dramatic soap opera. - Summary by Nicole Lee

06:40:43 - 09 - 09-VI: Repentance (AC 12.2)
The Apology of the Augsburg Confession was written by Philip Melanchthon during and after the 1530 Diet of Augsburg as a response to the Pontifical Confutation of the Augsburg Confession, Charles V's commissioned official Roman Catholic response to the Lutheran Augsburg Confession of June 25, 1530. It was intended to be a defense of the Augsburg Confession and a refutation of the Confutation. It was signed as a confession of faith by leading Lutheran magnates and clergy at the meeting of the Smalcald League in February, 1537, and subsequently included in the German [1580] and Latin [1584] Book of Concord. As the longest document in the Book of Concord, it offers the most detailed Lutheran response to the Roman Catholicism of that day as well as an extensive Lutheran exposition of the doctrine of Justification.
