Unhurried, domestic, and thoroughly soothing, with tea by the fire and freshly laundered bundles for every creature in the valley, it's an easy, gentle listen for falling asleep, insomnia, or quieting an anxious mind before bed. Listeners of last week's Squirrel Nutkin will spot a familiar face among the washing — Nutkin's own little red tailcoat, minus its tail, turns up in Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle's basket. First published in October 1905, Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is in the public domain worldwide (Potter died in 1943); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text. Potter dedicated the book to a real little girl, Lucie Carr, and based Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle herself on her own pet hedgehog of that name and on a Scottish washerwoman, Kitty MacDonald, who worked for her family each summer. This episode continues Beatrix Potter's place in the Books at Bedtime strand, alongside The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, Oscar Wilde's fairy tales, classic short fiction from Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, and Kate Chopin, and longer serialised reads including Alice in Wonderland, The Time Machine, and The Hound of the Baskervilles, with new instalments added regularly to the main Calming Anxiety feed.

While the other squirrels ask politely, Nutkin can never resist a rude riddle instead — and by the sixth day, his impertinence very nearly costs him more than his manners. A whimsical, sing-song read full of old English riddles, ideal for falling asleep, insomnia, and quieting an anxious mind before bed. First published in August 1903, Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is in the public domain worldwide (Potter died in 1943); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text.

Esta semana se han cumplido 50 años del golpe cívico militar de 1976 en Argentina que trajo la cruel dictadura de  Jorge Rafael Videla. Para hacer memoria de tanta crueldad hoy hemos presentado en nuestra biblioteca 'Exilio', un relato de Clara Obligado, ilustrado por Agustín Comotto y editado por Páginas de Espuma.  Tanto Obligado como Comotto fueron y son víctimas del exilio, porque el exilio, como se cuenta en el relato no se acaba nunca. Agustín salio de Argentina siendo un niño, Clara una joven veinteañera que de haberse quedado estaba condenada. Pero el libro no son sus exilios, es el exilio de toda una generación en el que se mezclan historias reales y otras que podrían haber sido. Son solo 106 páginas, pero sin una línea ni ninguna ilustración que no merezca más de una lectura y una mirada. Es brutal. Clara Obligado, además de hablar de 'exilio', nos donó  'El despertar' de Kate Chopin (en Alba y Cátedra). Antes, nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos contó, hoy no un libro, sino un cuento en tres minutos, un cuento de Julio Cortázar , 'Casa tomada',  de Julio Cortázar, que está incluido en 'Bestiario' (Alfaguara). Luego nos anuncio el libro que nos contaría en 'Un libro, una hora' que sería  'Tempestad en junio', el primer libro de “Suite francesa” de Irene Nemirovsky (Salamandra). Las novedades de Pepe Rubio esta semana fueron una reedición,  'A veinte años, luz" de Elsa Osorio (Siruela) , y una novela gráfica , también de temática argentina,  'La vida toda' de Ángel De la Calle, Jordi Sempere y Anna María Ruiz (Garbuix Books) . Pascual Donate  rescató otro libro abandonado en la redacción de la SER, un librazo,  'Extranjero en todas partes: los días argentino de Witold Gombrowicsz' de Mercedes Halfo (Anagrama).  Y finalmente llegaron las donaciones en directo de los oyentes que fueron: 'La librera de Madrid' de Mario Escobar (Ediciones B) , 'El jardinero y la muerte' de Guerorgui Gospodinov (Impedimenta) y 'Como polvo en el viento' de Leonardo Padura (Tusquets) 

Lo Que Nos Cuenta El Cuento - El hijo de Désirée, Kate Chopin by Radiotelevisión de Veracruz

Please feel free to send me a text message. 'The Story of an Hour' is a short story written by Kate Chopin on April 19, 1894. It was originally published in Vogue on December 6, 1894, as "The Dream of an Hour". It was later reprinted in St. Louis Life on January 5, 1895, as "The Story of an Hour".The title of the short story refers to the time elapsed between the moments at which the protagonist, Louise Mallard, hears that her husband, Brently Mallard, is dead, and then discovers that he is alive after all. Featuring a female protagonist who feels liberation and ponders her identity at the news of her husband's death, "The Story of an Hour" was controversial by American standards in the 1890s.

Es costumbre que la señora Sommers no gaste un centavo de su acotado presupuesto en artículos de confort para sí misma. Todo el dinero es invertido en la familia y, aunque no siente conflicto con ello, el día que se narra en este cuento comienza con una billetera abultada y un paseo cercano al descontrol. La estadounidense Kate Chopin describió con sutileza en esta historia de 1897 los efectos de la restricción, las consecuencias de llevar una vida plagada de deseos desoídos, el poder de la tentación y el choque abrupto con la realidad.   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pre producción y voz: CECILIA BONA Editó este episodio: DANY FERNÁNDEZ @danyrap.f para @activandoproducciones.proyecto ⚙️ Producción: XIMENA GONZALEZ @ximegonzal3z Edición de video: LUZ FERNÁNDEZ @luzma.fz ¡Ayudanos a crecer!

"BOBINÔT, that big, brown, good-natured Bobinôt, had no intention of going to the ball, even though he knew Calixta would be there. For what came of those balls but heartache, and a sickening disinclination for work the whole week through, till Saturday night came again and his tortures began afresh? Why could he not love Ozéina, who would marry him to-morrow; or Fronie, or any one of a dozen others, rather than that little Spanish vixen? Calixta's slender foot had never touched Cuban soil; but her mother's had, and the Spanish was in her blood all the same. For that reason the prairie people forgave her much that they would not have overlooked in their own daughters or sisters." This week in Louisiana history. January 16, 1962. Students at Southern Univ. begin civil rights demonstrations. This week in New Orleans history. Mayor C. Ray Nagin's "Chocolate City Speech" January 16, 2006.

Prior to Nagin's speech, some commentators were suggesting that the city's demographics would change from majority African American to majority Caucasian.  In an interview with Public Radio International's Tavis Smiley (originally broadcast on January 13, 2006) Nagin used the phrase "chocolate city" in reference to New Orleans' future demographics.

Tonight, we'll read the short story “Ma'ame Pélagie” written by Kate Chopin [Show-Pan]. Chopin was an American author of short stories and novels based in Louisiana. Her major works were two short story collections (of which this story is found) and two novels. One of those novels, “The Awakening” is what she is best known for today. Snoozecast read an excerpt back in 2019, but it has been much too long since we have read any more from this author.Kate Chopin lived in a variety of locations, based on different economies and societies. These were sources of insights and observations from which she analyzed and expressed her ideas about late 19th-century Southern American society. She based many of her stories and sketches on her life in Louisiana. They expressed her unusual portrayals (for the time) of women as individuals with separate wants and needs.— read by 'V' —Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Louisiana has a rich literary history. All authors conduct interviews as part of their craft, but only one wondered what it would be like to interview a vampire.

Henry, Kate Chopin, Guy de Maupassant, Louisa May Alcott and others are ready when you are.  One of the things I love about the classics is that even the “scary” stories have something interesting to offer. Take today's story for instance. It's not just a story where, “oh, you know what would be really creepy…”. Hodgson, as he often does, has couched his scary story within a story where two men are discussing the nature of life.  Is it life as we know it simply something that spontaneously happens when the elements and conditions are perfect? Or is there a deeper, more mysterious power at play? What does this mean about life after death? Then the story illustrates a point. I mean, seriously, to probe these profound questions in the midst of getting thrilled and spooked is one of the charms of these stories.  And if you'd like to experience this phenomenon further – go read Frankenstein.
