Sinopsis

In "Liza; Or, 'A Nest of Nobles,' Ivan Turgenev intricately weaves a poignant narrative that captures the complexities of Russian aristocracy and the societal entrapments of its young protagonists. Set against the backdrop of decaying noble estates, the novel employs a rich, lyrical style, blending psychological insight with vivid characterizations. Turgenev's keen observations of social customs and class disparities present a microcosm of 19th-century Russia, where personal aspirations clash with familial obligations, creating a tapestry of emotional depth and irony. Turgenev, himself a product of the Russian gentry, was profoundly influenced by the contradictions of his society. His upbringing amidst privilege, paired with a nascent awareness of social injustices, led him to explore themes of love, class, and individuality in his work. This tension between personal desire and societal expectation is central to "Liza," reflecting Turgenev's broader literary project of questioning the moral responsibilities of the privileged class. For readers seeking an insightful exploration of love and duty within the aristocracy, "Liza; Or, 'A Nest of Nobles'" is a must-read. Turgenev's nuanced portrayal of its characters invites readers to ponder the cost of societal expectations while immersing them in a beautifully crafted narrative that resonates with both timelessness and specificity.

    The story of three wishes being granted is an old one and often takes the form of a precautionary tale with the resultant moral being “be careful what you wish for!” Such is the fallibility of human nature that we can’t easily be trusted to use those wishes wisely. 
    The great children’s author Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) took this popular concept for her 1903 book “Five Children and It” and extended the wishes from three to eleven, now granted to five young siblings in Edwardian England. 
    They have no Geni of the Lamp or Fairy Godmother, but instead, an irascible Sand Fairy dug accidently out of the sand of an abandon quarry. This strange “Psammead”, with his snail’s eyes on stalks, furry squat body and aversion to water reluctantly grants the four children their, often ill thought out, wishes. 
    Nesbit writes with her usual warmth and humour, placing her protagonists into funny and sometimes frightening adventures which gradually make the children “wise beyond their years.” 
    Head Stories Audio presents "Five Children and It" by E. Nesbit. Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
