Sinopse

'Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of any sort of… disappointed love.'
Catherine Morland knows little of the world, but who needs real-life experience when you have novels to guide you? Seizing her chance to escape her claustrophobic family and join the smart set in Bath, she meets worldly, sophisticated Isabella Thorpe – Iz, to her friends – and so Cath's very own adventure begins.
This playful and surprising reimagining of Northanger Abbey is infused with the spirit of Jane Austen's original novel and fizzes with imagination and humour. It was premiered in 2024 at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, before touring to Octagon Theatre, Bolton, Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, and Theatre by the Lake, Keswick.
Disponível desde: 25/01/2024.
Comprimento de impressão: 120 páginas.

    "Ah how shameless – the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone they say come all their miseries yes but they themselves with their own reckless ways compound their pains beyond their proper share.” – The OdysseyExperience the stunning Greek poetry of Homer in this collection of his two major works: The Iliad and The Odyssey. These epic poems are beloved for their presentation of Greek history and belief systems, their strong theming and lessons on Greek virtues, and their continued influence on the literary canon.The Iliad –In the final days of the long-fought Trojan War, the Greek gods begin to interfere with the events of the war. When plagues strike the Achaean army, the fierce leader Achilles uses his connections with the gods to further interfere, which begins a series of events that leads to death and destruction on both sides of the war. This dramatic poem is a commentary on human folly and hubris, while also an in-depth explanation of the warfare styles of the time and a representation of the Greek views on the interference of gods in major historical events.The Odyssey –Following the events of The Iliad, Odysseus begins a journey to return to his home of Ithaca after being away for a decade due to angering Poseidon, the god of the sea. After sneaking away from Poseidon, he embarks on a years-long voyage home during which he is captured and circumvented by earthly and godly foes alike. His journey home is slow and full of turmoil and adventure. Themes in this poem include hospitality, predetermined fate and omens, journeying home, and wandering as a test of faith and resilience.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    "William Butler Yeats: 16 Poems and Analyses" invites listeners into the luminous, mysterious world of one of Ireland’s greatest poets, presented with a fresh sense of intimacy and emotional depth. This audiobook brings together sixteen of Yeats’s most compelling works, each paired with a thoughtful, accessible analysis that illuminates the poem’s themes, symbols, and craft without sacrificing its magic. Whether Yeats is exploring the longing of youth, the ache of unfulfilled desire, or the turning of history’s wheel, his voice resonates with a timeless beauty that continues to move readers more than a century later. 
    Each poem is accompanied by an original piano underscore, composed and adapted by A. M. Bly to reflect the unique emotional atmosphere of Yeats’s verse. These musical settings do not overpower the poetry; instead, they enhance its rhythms and imagery, offering listeners a deeper, more immersive experience. From gentle, wistful harmonies to bold, dramatic motifs, the music enriches the language and invites the listener to feel each poem as Yeats might have intended: alive, mysterious, and resonant with inner music. 
    Narrated by the expressive and natural-sounding AI voice Willow, this collection balances clarity with warmth, guiding listeners through Yeats’s shifting landscapes of myth, memory, love, and dream. Willow’s narration brings a steadiness and emotional sensitivity to each piece, helping the nuances of the poetry—and the insights that follow—to unfold with ease. 
    Ideal for longtime admirers of Yeats and newcomers alike, this audiobook offers not only a rich appreciation of the poems themselves but also a set of interpretations that deepen understanding and spark reflection. William Butler Yeats: 16 Poems and Analyses is an evocative blend of literature, insight, and music—an invitation to revisit, re-hear, and rediscover a master poet’s enduring work.
