Sinossi

In "With the Black Prince," William O. Stoddard delves into the intricacies of medieval warfare, focusing on the legendary figure of Edward, the Black Prince. The novel is distinguished by its rich historical detail and vivid characterizations, capturing the tumultuous atmosphere of the Hundred Years'Äô War. Stoddard employs a narrative style infused with authenticity, combining dialogue and descriptive passages that transport readers to the battlefields of 14th century England and France. The text reflects the literary conventions of historical fiction of its time, emphasizing both personal heroism and the broader significance of martial conflict. William O. Stoddard, an American author and journalist, was known for his interest in history and adventure, stemming from his early exposure to the great narratives of his time. As a contemporary of the late 19th century, Stoddard wrote during a period of burgeoning historical interest in American literature, aligning his works with the romantic ideals of heroism and valor found in both literature and American culture. His deep fascination with the past is evident in his portrayal of the Black Prince, a character emblematic of chivalric ideals. This book will captivate readers who seek not only thrilling tales of adventure but also a nuanced exploration of historical narratives. "With the Black Prince" is recommended for enthusiasts of historical fiction, as it engages with themes of bravery, loyalty, and the savage realities of war, all essential to understanding the complexities of medieval history.

    In November 2018, a zealous American missionary was killed while attempting to visit an island he called "Satan's last stronghold," a small patch of land known as North Sentinel in the Andaman Islands, a remote archipelago in the Indian Ocean. News of the tragedy fascinated people around the world. Most were unaware such a place still existed in our time: an island unmolested by the advances of modern technology. 
     
     
     
    Twenty years before the American missionary's ill-fated visit, a young American historian and journalist named Adam Goodheart also traveled to the waters off North Sentinel. During his time in the Andaman Islands, he witnessed another isolated tribe emerge into modernity for the first time. 
     
     
     
    Now, Goodheart—a bestselling historian—has returned to the Andamans. The Last Island is a work of history as well as travel, a journey in time as well as place. It tells the stories of others drawn to North Sentinel's mystery through the centuries, from imperial adventurers to an eccentric Victorian photographer to modern-day anthropologists. It narrates the tragic stories of other Andaman tribes' encounters with the outside world. And it shows how the web of modernity is drawing ever closer to the island's shores.

    The Eclogues and Georgics

    Virgil

    Though it is for the sparkling epic, Aeneid, that the Roman poet Virgil is best known, it was these two poems, The Eclogues and Georgics, which first established his reputation.  Cast in the tradition of pastoral poetry, The Eclogues were written between 41 BCE and 37 BCE when Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, to give him his full name) was in his thirties. The Eclogues (the word means ‘Selections’ in Greek) contain 10 poems, a combination of dialogues and monologues. They drew on the ‘bucolic’ (rural) style of the ancient Greek poet Theocritus (c 300BCE-c 260 BCE), but Virgil weaves many references to contemporary Roman events. Though The Eclogues have perhaps existed in the shadow of Georgics, they have been highly regarded and studied by academics and poets down the centuries. They are presented here in the 20th century translation by the British poet R. C. Trevelyan, and read in multi-voice format as they were originally written, with clearly delineated characters bringing the content to life with verve and temperament. 
    Though also pastoral in nature, Georgics is very different in style. Published in 29 BCE, the main subject is agriculture (the title reflects the Greek word ‘georgika’, agricultural things), and vigorously promotes traditional means of farming. Again, Virgil weaves into his verse cultural and political themes. Cast in four Books, the dynamic expression draws on numerous Classical, mythical and contemporary references, while explaining the best methods for ploughing, animal husbandry, observing weather patterns, the life of bees and the like. Increasingly, the rise and fall of man’s endeavours can be reflected in the vicissitudes of agricultural life. The 20th century translation of Georgics used on this recording is by the highly respected translator of Latin poetry, Smith Palmer Bovie. It is read by Jamie Parker. Closer study of both works while listening is possible through the complete texts that come with the recording.
