Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donateIn an era before the advent of electric lights, telephones or motor vehicles, there exists a small cluster of aristocratic "old revolutionary stock" families that rule New York's social life. Under the rules of this society, "being things" is better than "doing things" and reputation and outward appearances come at the exclusion of everything else. In this Gilded Age, when America's expansion and increased industrialism produce a group of newly wealthy robber barons and financiers, the patient, time-honored values of the old ruling class, and century, are giving way to the expediencies of the new. Caught at this cusp, a triangle of lovers, who must choose between the expectations of family and society, and the deepest yearnings of the heart.Newly engaged couple, Newland Archer, a young lawyer, and May Welland, a society debutante, are part of the old world, where the "right people" follow the "correct rules" and marry into "acceptable families." The arrival from Europe of May's cousin, the Countess Ellen Olenska, complicates their union, as Ellen's mysterious past threatens to cast a shadow of scandal over the newly betrothed couple. Newland Archer, at first critical of Ellen's bohemian lifestyle, and her seemingly wilful ignorance of the rules and customs of his Old New York, is soon captivated by Ellen's warmth, spirit, and her generous and loving heart. Will he cast off the life for which he's been groomed, or sacrifice happiness for duty and the greater good of the social order?(Summary by Brenda Dayne)Donate to LibriVox: https://libri-vox.org/donate

Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donateJefferies' novel can be seen as an early example of "post-apocalyptic fiction." After some sudden and unspecified catastrophe has depopulated England, the countryside reverts to nature, and the few survivors to a quasi-medieval way of life.The first part of the book, "The Relapse into Barbarism", is the account by some later historian of the fall of civilisation and its consequences, with a loving description of nature reclaiming England. The second part, "Wild England", is an adventure set many years later in the wild landscape and society.The book is not without its flaws (notably the abrupt and unsatisfying ending) but is redeemed by the quality of the writing, particularly the unnervingly prophetic descriptions of the post-apocalyptic city and countryside.

Appointed governor by the Society of Saint-Sulpice seigneurs of Montreal island, Francois-Marie Perrot clashed with Governor General of New France Frontenac in 1675. When Sulpician Abbot François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon (1641–1679) intervened on behalf of Perrot, Frontenac referred the matter the Court of King Louis XIV in France. Fénelon, a French Sulpician priest who was an eloquent preaching missionary in New France was eventually forbidden to remain in Canada due to his political interference and ultimately withdrew from the Sulpicians. The mission he founded a mission in the Kenté (Quinte) region of Lake Ontario left no trace, but his name is remembered at Fenelon Falls. He died at the age of 38, with his final whereabouts unknown.

Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donateThe First Anglo–Afghan War was fought between British India and Afghanistan from 1839 to 1842. It was one of the first major conflicts during the Great Game, the 19th century competition for power and influence in Central Asia between the United Kingdom and Russia, and also marked one of the worst setbacks inflicted on British power in the region after the consolidation of British Raj by the East India Company.

Francois-Marie Perrot (1644-1691) was appointed governor of Montreal by a royal commission in 1670 until 1684. He married Intendant Jean Talon’s niece and through his influence obtained the appointment as governor from the Saint-Sulpice seigneurs of Montreal island, succeeding Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.

We can't turn the page on the seventeenth century without covering in depth the fascinating exploits, momentous discoveries, monumental battles, and adventurous saga of Count Frontenac and New France under Louis XIV. Frontenac (1622-98) was a French aristocrat, soldier and Governor General of New France in North America. He established a number of Forts on the shores of the Great Lakes and engaged in a series of battles against the English and the Iroquois Confederacy for control of the fur trade. Governor Frontenac's initiatives helped solidify French claims and influence stretching from Lake Superior to the Mississippi River, pushing French territorial boundaries along the future American-Canadian border and further into the interior of North America.

One-Act Play Collections - Book 11, Part 3 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 11 Overview: Here are 10 one-act plays offered by various groups of Librivox readers. From Ancient India to the Far Future, from the palaces of royalty to the servants' hall, from comedy to tragedy, from deeply philosophical to farcically entertaining. Enjoy! A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

One-Act Play Collections - Book 9, Part 1 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 9 Overview: The ninth volume of one-act plays in the public domain is read by a variety of LibriVox members. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm (1785 - 1863)Anlässlich des 200. Jubiläums der Kinder- und Hausmärchen präsentiert LibriVox eine Auswahl aus der ersten Auflage der Kinder- und Hausmärchen von 1812/15. Die erste Auflage der berühmten Märchensammlung unterscheidet sich in einigen Punkten von den bekannteren späteren Auflagen. Sie enthält Geschichten, die in den späteren Auflagen entschärft und verniedlicht wurden, um dem Geschmack des vorwiegend bürgerlichen Publikums entgegenzukommen. So wird Rapunzel hier noch schwanger und Hänsel und Gretel werden von ihrer Mutter im Wald verlassen, nicht von der Stiefmutter. Auch sind viele Märchen mit hugenottischem Hintergrund enthalten, z.B. Der gestiefelte Kater, der auf Charles Perrault zurückgeht und in späteren Auflagen nicht mehr enthalten ist. Die durch die Brüder Grimm kommentierten Erstausgabe ist Teil des Weltdokumentenerbes der UNESCO.

Hello and welcome to Episode 63. This episode we travel to the very north of mainland Scotland where one man's solitude is interrupted by two mysterious castaways, in ‘The Man from Archangel' from 1885. You can read the story here: https://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/index.php/The_Man_from_Archangel Or listen to a Librivox reading here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts2yXxclU-c The episode will be uploaded to our YouTube channel soon, where you can listen with closed captions. In the meantime, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@doingsofdoyle And follow us on BlueSky (https://bsky.app/profile/doingsofdoyle.com). We don't do Twitter no more. Synopsis Having come into an unexpected inheritance, the morose and misanthropic John McVittie is able to give up his unrewarding legal practice in the English Midlands and retire to a remote coastal estate in Caithness in eastern Scotland. Here he pursues his esoteric scientific and philosophic interests, with only his aged housekeeper for company. But his quiet existence is disrupted when a Russian schooner is wrecked in a storm and McVittie rescues a young woman from the doomed ship. Apparently, however, she is not the only survivor as shortly afterwards McVittie discovers that his lonely house is under observation from a mysterious bearded stranger… Next time on Doings of Doyle… We discuss ACD's unconventional ghost story, ‘The Story of the Brown Hand' (1898), from his Round the Fire Stories.
