Sinopse

In "Certain Diversities of American Life," Charles Dudley Warner presents an insightful exploration of the multifaceted nature of American society during the late 19th century. Utilizing a blend of personal narrative, satirical observation, and critical analysis, Warner examines the social, political, and cultural diversities that characterize the American experience. His prose is rich with humor and a keen sense of irony, offering readers a candid reflection on the complexities of American identity amidst the rapid changes of his time. Contextually situated in an era marked by industrialization and immigration, Warner's essays delve into themes of class, regionalism, and the paradox of liberty, revealing the tensions inherent in American democracy. As a prominent American writer, journalist, and social commentator, Warner was deeply engaged with the issues of his day. His experiences in both rural and urban settings framed his perspectives on society, which are vividly captured in this collection. Influenced by his contemporary Mark Twain, Warner's commitment to social critique and his eloquent prose reflect his desire to provoke thought and challenge complacency regarding societal norms. His literary contributions bridge the gap between the personal and the political, making his reflections as relevant today as they were then. Readers seeking a profound understanding of the complexities of American life will find Warner's work both enlightening and thought-provoking. "Certain Diversities of American Life" is not merely a historical account; it is an invitation to examine the evolving tapestry of American society. Warner's insightful observations resonate with contemporary issues, making this collection indispensable for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the enduring questions of identity, diversity, and democracy.

"The Fiddler of Dooney" was first published in 1892. The word "Dooney" refers to Dooney Rock, a small hill overlooking Lough Gill near Sligo. The central theme of poem is the celebration of life and the joy that comes from living it to the fullest. "Song of the Old Mother" first appeared in The Wind Among the Reeds anthology, published in 1899.

    “All writers want the reader to see through their eyes, but few succeed in making them hear through their ears as successfully as Nick Penny… Very special.” Jamie Blackett, Country Life"An odyssey of simple joy, filled with historical facts and stories, where the writer makes us feel part of the journey. It’s like strolling the riverbank with a friend - and is a timely reminder that regular paths walked can lead to irregular and surprising encounters" - Ceri Levy, Caught by the RiverCall of the Kingfisher is the enchanting debut from composer and wildlife recordist Nick Penny. This love letter to a short stretch of Northamptonshire’s River Nene (UK) celebrates all the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers. The original print book comes with access to 42 wildlife sound recordings made by the author. These are woven into the audiobook along with the spoken text.Nick has walked beside the river at Oundle in Northamptonshire for four decades. But for a whole year he gave the waterway all the time it asked for. The more attention he gave it, the more he saw the kingfishers and heard their high whistling calls. Set in a lovely but little-known part of England, Call of the Kingfisher relates a year by the river, the author’s experiences there and the different people he meets. Other strands are woven around the elusive feathered protagonist: explorations of local history and landscape, from Roman and Bronze Age sites to watermills and centuries-old stone churches; visits at different times and to different places in the valley; homages to naturalists who lived nearby; forest dawns and dusks listening to the precious song of nightingales. But the background tapestry is the sights and sounds, and greens and browns, of the riverbank, shot through with the blue and orange threads of a kingfisher’s glowing feathers.
