Synopsis

Algernon Blackwood's 'Jimbo' is a masterful exploration of the boundary between the human and the animal world, framed through the poignant journey of a young boy and his pet monkey. Written in the early 20th century, Blackwood employs a lyrical and evocative prose style that immerses readers in the rich tapestry of nature and the intricacies of children's psychology. The novel melds elements of adventure and fantasy, revealing the innocence of childhood while investigating deeper themes of love, loss, and identity, all situated within the broader context of early modernist literature that often grappled with industrialization's impact on the natural world. Algernon Blackwood, a notable figure in supernatural fiction and a keen naturalist, draws from his own experiences in the wilderness and his profound understanding of the mystical connections between humans and animals. His extensive travels and encounters with diverse cultures enriched his narrative voice, allowing him to create a vivid and empathetic landscape where the seemingly magical becomes a reflection of human emotions. This background significantly informs the allegorical structure of 'Jimbo' and its exploration of the bond between boy and beast. 'Jimbo' is a compelling read for those who appreciate introspective storytelling and those intrigued by the whimsical yet somber lessons of childhood. Blackwood invites readers to embark on a fantastical journey that lingers long after the last page is turned, making it an essential work for fans of classic literature and those looking to understand the complexities of human-animal relationships.

This is a radio play version of Mary Shelley's classic novel, about the scientist Victor Frankenstein who created a monster. Recent biographies of Mary Shelley have pointed to the fact that Mary Shelley's motives for writing her story differ from those the public eventually attributed to it. There is good support for this because Mary Shelley wrote a preface to the 1831 edition of her novel in which she explicitly states this. And the themes she mentions are also present in her less talked about novel, The Last Man. 
This is an adaptation by Michael Henrik Wynn for the education net radio stream Historyradio.org, and he also narrates and plays the various parts.
