Summary

The comic masterpiece Tristram Shandy is often regarded as a progenitor of the twentieth century novel. Within the resolutely tangled strands of this narrative is the life, from conception, of a gentleman cursed at birth with the name Tristram. Though everything occurs between parlor and garden, Tristram's excitable father, bewildered mother, and Uncle Toby provide ample opportunity for the digressions and madcap events that structure this seminal novel.

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    A Modest Proposal

    Jonathan Swift

    Dive into Jonathan Swift’s sharp satire in A Modest Proposal, one of literature’s most famous works of dark humor and social criticism. Written in 1729, Swift offers a shocking "solution" to the poverty and famine affecting Ireland, proposing the unthinkable with a calm, calculated rationale that highlights the cruelty and indifference of the ruling classes. Through biting irony, Swift forces readers to confront the realities of exploitation and dehumanization in society. 
    Narrated by Ian Michael Turrell, this audiobook brings Swift’s complex wit to life. Turrell’s performance captures the serious tone Swift adopts to drive home his satire, immersing listeners in the mock-serious prose and unrelenting logic of Swift’s voice. 
    Perfect for fans of classic literature, satire, and thought-provoking commentary, A Modest Proposal remains as impactful today as when it was first published, challenging listeners to question societal values and human compassion.

    The Viking Saint - Olaf II of...

    The Vikings and sainthood are not concepts normally found side by side. But Norway’s King Olaf II Haraldsson (c. 995-1030) embodied both to an extraordinary degree. As a battle-eager teenager he almost single-handedly pulled down London Bridge (as in the nursery rhyme) and took part in many other Viking raids. Olaf lacked none of the traditional Viking qualities of toughness and audacity, yet his routine baptism grew into a burning missionary faith that was all the more remarkable for being combined with his typically Viking determination and energy – and sometimes ruthlessness as well. His overriding mission was to Christianize Norway and extirpate heathenism. His unstinting efforts, often at great peril to his life, earned him the Norwegian throne in 1015, when he had barely reached his twenties. For the next fifteen years he labored against immense odds to subdue the rebellious heathen nobles of Norway while fending off Swedish hostility. Both finally combined against Olaf in 1030, when he fell bravely in battle not far from Trondheim, still only in his mid-thirties. After his body was found to possess healing powers, and reports of them spread from Scandinavia to Spain and Byzantium, Olaf II was canonized a saint 134 years later. He remains Norway’s patron saint as well as a legendary warrior. Yet more remarkably, he remains a saint not only of the Protestant church but also of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches – perhaps the only European fighting saint to achieve such acceptance.
