Beschreibung

'A Trip to Scarborough' is an 18th-century play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. He based his work on John Vanbrugh's 'The Relapse', removing much of the bawdy content. The hero of the play, Tom Fashion, arrives penniless in Scarborough, attended by but one faithful servant, Lory, who privately informs the audience that he will never desert his master until he pays him his wages. Fashion has come to visit his rich elder brother, Lord Foppington, whom he hopes to be able to beg money from.

    Professor Konai Helu Thaman (Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor, and UNESCO Chair in teacher education &; culture - The University of the South Pacific) says this about the collection: This is a refreshing and welcome addition to the growing list of women's writing in Oceania. Karlo draws wisdom and compassion from her ancestral cultures but is not constrained by them. Honest and unafraid, she has spread her net wide in order to capture the many concerns that many people are grappling with as they face the realities of a globalised and impersonal world. Written with passion, persistence and sensitivity, her poems are insightful, challenging and sometimes provocative. This book should inspire others, especially women, to share their experiences with the rest of the world.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 16 recordings of Old Man Travelling; Animal Tranquillity and Decay, a Sketch by William Wordsworth. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 2, 2011.In 1842 the government awarded Wordsworth a civil list pension amounting to £300 a year. With the death in 1843 of Robert Southey, Wordsworth became the Poet Laureate. He initially refused the honour, saying he was too old, but accepted when Prime Minister Robert Peel assured him "you shall have nothing required of you" (he became the only laureate to write no official poetry). When his daughter, Dora, died in 1847, his production of poetry came to a standstill. (Summary from Wikipedia)

    In science one reasons by analogy, so when mankind is confronted by experiences entirely beyond its understanding it takes an individual with intelligence and bravery in equal measure to push back the boundaries of the unknown…. 
    In London, in the 1900s, the solutions to supernatural occurrences were investigated by a man who was famous for his dealings with the unknown and the worlds of the dead: Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter, (or as he prefers to call it, a psychical detective). With the help of college student Arthur Bennett, he embarks on a series of spine-tingling and exciting adventures in the world of the dead. 
    Episode 13: Enter the Nephilim. The Sprits of the Nephilim want Lee to bring them back to Earth.  Episode 14: The Tower on Beltane Hill. Mysterious deaths are occurring when a wealthy land owner is trying to clear away trees on his property.  Episode 15: Scarlet Bolt. The Derby is the oldest horse race in the world. When the favorite, Scarlet Bolt, is haunted by a mysterious apparition, Jarrem Lee is called in to prevent a terrible tragedy.  Episode 16: By Royal Command. Crown Prince Karl is convinced he's been attacked a werewolf. Jarrem Lee is commissioned to persuade him otherwise, but what if his terrifying dreams are really true? Based on a story by Max Rittenberg.
