  Although Lieh Tzu's work has evidently passed through the hands of many editors and gathered numerous accretions, there remains a considerable nucleus which in all probability was committed to writing by Lieh Tzu's immediate disciples, and is therefore older than the genuine parts of Chuang Tzu. There are some obvious analogies between the two authors, and indeed a certain amount of matter common to both; but on the whole Lieh Tzu's book bears an unmistakable impress of its own. The geniality of its tone contrasts with the somewhat hard brilliancy of Chuang Tzu, and a certain kindly sympathy with the aged, the poor and the humble of this life, not excluding the brute creation, makes itself felt throughout. - From Lionel Giles Introduction

  'But the time will come; and when, in their changed ashes, the growth of centuries unborn has struck its roots, the restless men of distant ages will repair to these again unpeopled solitudes…'
  
  Based on a trip taken just short of his thirtieth birthday, American Notes for General Circulation is a dazzling travelogue of Charles Dickens's adventures in North America in 1842.
  
  Travelling from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, St. Louis, Quebec and more, Dickens writes candidly about his time in America. Impressed by the optimism of American society and captivated by its democratic ideals, Dickens was also critical of the rapid growth of industrialism, America's focus on materialism and its participation in slavery. A compelling artefact of nineteenth century America, American Notes for General Circulation is a fascinating snapshot in time from the perspective of a foreign observer. This audiobook is skilfully read by Matt Addis.
