Beschreibung

In "The Burgomaster of Stilemonde," Maurice Maeterlinck crafts a poignant exploration of political and personal responsibility against the backdrop of a fading European town. Through his signature symbolist style, Maeterlinck employs rich, evocative imagery and an intricate interplay of dialogue that reveals the struggles of the titular character, the burgomaster, as he grapples with the moral dilemmas of leadership and community. The play reflects the broader societal anxieties of the early 20th century, echoing the existential questions of identity and legacy that permeated contemporary European literature. Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright and poet awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, is renowned for his contributions to symbolist theatre. His works often explore themes of fate, destiny, and the human psyche, influenced by his philosophical inquiries into the nature of life and love. "The Burgomaster of Stilemonde" emerges from Maeterlinck'Äôs deep engagement with the socio-political landscape of his time, meticulously weaving personal narratives with universal truths that resonate across cultures. This compelling play is a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of governance and human connection. Maeterlinck's masterful use of language and his deep societal insights make this work not just a reflection of its time but a timeless inquiry into the essence of what it means to lead, to love, and to be human.

    Getting Through What You're...

    Read by the author.  
    Find hope and purpose as you discover that you’re right where you’re supposed to be. 
    Maybe you thought you’d be further along by now. Or have a different kind of life. Maybe you thought that relationship would have happened, that dream would have come true, that path would have opened up—and it didn’t. Or you feel stuck, behind, not sure if you made a wrong turn somewhere. You’re trying to make sense of what is, even if what “is” is not what you thought it would be. Or maybe you’re searching for a moment of peace before carrying on. 
    Getting Through What You’re Going Through by poet and writer Tanner Olson explores these ideas and offers you hope through it all. You don’t have to just “get through”; you can “go through”—all the ups and downs, disappointments, unexpected surprises—knowing that God is present and hope remains. In this collection of over one hundred poems and reflections, Tanner shows that God’s timing may be slow until it isn’t. Every day presents a gift to open. And hope is there to be found in the simplest things—a cup of coffee, a good friend, a single pancake. 
    If you’re feeling stuck, unsettled, or even just happy to be here, know that hope remains and you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

    Fairies and FusiliersBy Robert GravesNarrated by Denis DalyPoet, soldier, novelist, translator and critic Robert Graves (1895 - 1985) was deeply familiar with both war and death.  Three times during his life Graves was considered to be on the point of death due to serious illness.  One of these was after his participation in the Battle of the Somme, after which he had been actually pronounced dead due to severe wounding.Graves enlisted as soon as the First World War was declared, and was rapidly promoted to lieutenant and later to captain.  Among his fellow soldiers was another poet, Siegfried Sassoon.  Together with Wilfred Owen, who did not survive, Graves and Sassoon represented the new generation of war poets - perceptive critical surveyors of the horrific and wasteful futility of modern warfare, drawing their judgements from bitter personal experience. Fairies and Fusiliers is a collection of 47 short poems and was dedicated to Graves' former regiment, the Royal Fusiliers.Production copyright 2024 Voices of Today

    The Glugs of Gosh is a book of satirical verse written by Australian author C. J. Dennis, published by Angus & Robertson in 1917. The book's 13 poems are vignettes of life in a fictional kingdom called Gosh, inhabited by an arboreal race (that is to say, climbers) known as Glugs. Dennis describes the Glugs as a "stupid race of docile folk". Written in the style of children's nonsense poetry, the work attacks free trade, along with what Dennis saw as Australia's social conformity, intellectual cowardice and rampant bureaucracy.
