Genre(s): Biography & Autobiography, Literary Criticism

Read by: Pamela Nagami in English

Chapters:
00:00:00 - 18 - Branwell's End
00:10:36 - 19 - Emily's Death and Finis

Emily Brontë (1818-1848) is best known for her only novel, 'Wuthering Heights.' She was born in Yorkshire, northern England, where her father was an Anglican curate. When Brontë was three years old her mother died of cancer. At the age of six she joined her three sisters briefly at the Clergy Daughters' School, where privations and abuse contributed to the deaths of two of them. Her elder sister, Charlotte, immortalized this terrible place in 'Jane Eyre.' In 1846 Emily Brontë, under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, published a selection of her poetry. In 1847 appeared her dark, gothic novel, 'Wuthering Heights,' with its Byronic anti-hero, Heathcliff. Brontë was shy, even reclusive, and never married. In the fall of 1848 she fell ill with inflammation of the lungs, probably due to rapidly-progressive tuberculosis, and died in December of that year, aged twenty-nine. This is a short biography of Brontë written by the British poet, novelist, and critic, Agnes Mary Frances Robinson (1857-1944). (Pamela Nagami)

Crime and Punishment (Version 3) by Fyodor DOSTOYEVSKY (1821 - 1881), translated by Constance GARNETT (1861 - 1946) Genre(s): Read by: Mark Nelson in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 27 - Part 5 Chapter 1 00:39:52 - 28 - Part 5 Chapter 2 01:10:46 - 29 - Part 5 Chapter 3 01:46:58 - 30 - Part 5 Chapter 4 02:30:48 - 31 - Part 5 Chapter 5 03:04:33 - 32 - Part 6 Chapter 1 03:29:34 - 33 - Part 6 Chapter 2 04:05:24 - 34 - Part 6 Chapter 3 04:29:22 - 35 - Part 6 Chapter 4 04:57:29 - 36 - Part 6 Chapter 5 05:33:06 - 37 - Part 6 Chapter 6 06:07:16 - 38 - Part 6 Chapter 7 06:30:38 - 39 - Part 6 Chapter 8 06:56:35 - 40 - Epilogue Crime and Punishment is the second of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia, and is considered the first great novel of his 'mature' period of writing. The novel focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in an attempt to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime while ridding the world of a vermin, and to test a theory of his that some people are naturally superior and have the right to commit crimes if it is in pursuit of a higher purpose.

From the one standpoint, the ocean is really excited; from the other standpoint, the molecules are moving according to the laws of hydrodynamics. If I want to understand the meaning of this scene every reminiscence of physics will lead me astray; if I want to calculate the movement of my boat, physics alone can help me'.(from the Introduction) More information: http://librivox.org/psychotherapy-by-hugo-munsterberg/

Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique 'topsy-turvy' style, where the humour was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humour. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to sign his illustrations 'Bab'.

At the Council of Chalcedon, his famous 'Tome' was a decisive contribution to the Christological controversies of the fifth century. But the Tome did not stand alone. It was written in the context of over two decades of pastoral sensitivity. This collection of sermons is the best way to let Leo himself unpack the nuances and power of Chalcedonian Christology according to one of its most influential proponents.

The Life and Death of Cardinal Wolsey by George Cavendish (1497 - c. 1562) Genre(s): Biography & Autobiography, Middle Ages/Middle History Read by: John Greenman in English Cover design by Annise. Parts: Part 1 https://youtu.be/H19q5fyKOqU Chapters: 00:00:00 - 28 - Part Twenty-Eight - Wolsey is assured that Sir Kingston has been assigned by the King to bring him safely to him. Wolsey takes sick and is close to death. 00:20:52 - 29 - Part Twenty-Nine - Wolsey, declining fast, demands meat to sustain him. Sir Kingston hears Wolsey's passionate plea to resist and destroy the Lutherans, to save the king and the Church. As he prophesied the day before, Wolsey passes at 8 in the morning. 00:35:09 - 30 - Part Thirty - The Cardinal is buried, the King assures the Cardinal's servant (the author, George Cavendish) that he will receive his back wages plus a reward, horses and a cart in honor of his service to the Cardinal. The King also places Cavendish among his close servants. Thomas Wolsey was an English statesman and Catholic bishop. His appointment as a cardinal by Pope Leo X in 1515 gave him precedence over all other English clergy. Henry VIII's passion for Anne Boleyn and his consequent rejection of his wife Catherine of Aragon resulted in Henry's push for a wedding annulment. As the king's chief adviser and Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey failed to negotiate an annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine. He fell out of favour and was stripped of his government titles. George Cavendish was Cardinal Wolsey's 'Gentleman Usher'. The intrinsic value of Cavendish's Life of Cardinal Wolsey has long been perceived, for it is the sole authentic record of a multitude of events highly important in a particularly interesting section of the history of England. Cavendish has been recognized as the earliest of the great English biographers. He writes with simplicity and vividness, rarely yielding to the rhetoric which governed the ordinary prose of his age. Shakespeare is said to have used this work as the basis for his play 'Henry VIII'. Note: Latin passages recorded by Kazbek.

Many of the narratives thrill the reader through and through. Some of them awaken an indignation, a horror, or a sense of humiliation and shame that makes the blood curdle or the cheek flush, or the breathing difficult. The best and the worst sides of human nature are successfully exhibited. Here heroism and patience stand out transfigured; there selfishness and brutality hold carnival till it seems as though justice had been exiled and God had forgotten his own. The number of cases reported is very large, and the method in which the author has done his work is commendable. There is no rhetorical ambition. The narratives are embodied in plain language. The facts are left to make their own impression, without an attempt to embellish them by the aid of imagination.' From the 'Morning Star,' Dover, New Hampshire.William Still is often called the Father of the Underground Railroad. Over 14 years, he helped hundreds of slaves escape to freedom in Canada. Still was committed to preserving the stories of the bondmen and he kept careful records of the many escaped slaves who passed through the Philadelphia 'station'. The Underground Railroad was published in 1871 from Still's records and diaries. In bringing you these stories, Librivox volunteers are reading from the 1878 edition.
