Waverley by Sir Walter Scott is an enthralling tale of love, war and divided loyalties. Taking place during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, the novel tells the story of proud English officer Edward Waverley. After being posted to Dundee, Edward eventually befriends chieftain of the Highland Clan Mac-Ivor, and falls in love with his beautiful sister Flora. He then renounces his former loyalties in order actively to support Scotland in open rebellion against the Union with England. The book depicts stunning, romantic panoramas of the Highlands, and is famous for being one of the first historical novels. It's influence extended to many authors, including Dickens, Dumas, Gogol, Stevenson, Thackeray and Tolstoy. David Rintoul's finely tuned narration and characterization wonderfully evoke the atmosphere of the Scottish Highlands.

Grigori Aleksandrovich Pechorin is an enigma: arrogant, cocky, melancholic, brave, cynic, romantic, loner, socialite, soldier, free soul, and yet, victim of the world, he eludes definition and remains a mystery to those who know him. Just who is he? And what does he hope to achieve? Evolving from first person to third person, and then into a diary, A Hero of our Time takes on a variety of forms to interrogate Pechorin’s cryptic character and his unusual philosophy providing breathtaking descriptions of the Caucasus along the way. The novel has been hailed as an influence on such writers as Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, and is a striking take on Lord Byron’s ‘superfluous man’; it hearkens back to the teaching of Machiavelli, while anticipating the future work of Nietzsche. Nicholas Boulton’s remarkable fluency and beauty of tone defy the listener to take a break from this unique story. Hailed by Vladimir Nabokov as one of the greatest Russian novels, the book has been referenced in novels by Albert Camus and Ian Fleming, and films by Ingmat Berman.

Following its successful run of unabridged Dickens titles, Naxos AudioBooks has turned its attention to Henry James. Further titles are planned for 2018. In the second novel of James’s celebrated late period, American Lambert Strether is sent to Paris on behalf of Mrs. Newsome, his fiance, to collect her son, Chad. When Strether finds Chad, he discovers an altered man and becomes introduced to a free and unconventional style of life that soon intoxicates him. His views begin to change; the morality of Woollett, his hometown, becomes foreign, and the ‘ambassador’ loses sight of his mission… Part tragedy, part comedy, The Ambassadors is a rewarding portrait about one man’s late awakening. John Chancer is an award-winning narrator of many audiobooks. His soft American accent lends an authenticity to James’s intercontinental tale.

Impoverished young aristocrat Eugène de Rastignac is determined to climb the social ladder and impress himself on Parisian high society. While staying at the Maison Vauquer, a boarding house in Paris's rue Neuve-Sainte-Geneviève, he encounters Jean-Joachim Goriot, a retired vermicelli maker who has spent his entire fortune supporting his two daughters. The boarders strike up a friendship and Goriot learns of Rastignac's feelings for his daughter Delphine. He begins to see Rastignac as the ideal son-in-law, and the perfect substitute for Delphine's domineering husband. But Rastignac has other opportunities too, as the notorious criminal Vautrin, 'The Death Dodger', offers to murder the brother of a wealthy woman, giving the ambitious young lawyer a clear path to her fortune... Profound and realistic, Father Goriot is a startling glimpse into the vanity and selfishness of 19th-century Paris. It is considered one of the finest works of Balzac's La Comédie Humaine.

Phineas Finn, a handsome young man of 23, comes to England to make his fortune in parliamentary politics. But despite all his aspirations, Finn is haunted by ethical questions as his personal convictions conflict with his duty towards his party. Loyalty versus honour, love versus money, and privacy versus prominence: our eponymous hero faces a variety of dilemmas as he navigates his way through the House of Commons. The second installment of Trollope’s celebrated Palliser series, Phineas Finn is a delightful and humorous look at the complexity of human relationships and the politics surrounding the Second Reform Bill of the 1860s.

First published in March 1722, 57 years after the event that struck more than 100, 000 people, A Journal of the Plague Year is a compelling portrait of life during London's horrific bubonic plague. Through the eyes of H.F. (speculated to be Defoe's uncle, Henry Foe, from whose journals the book was supposedly adapted) we witness great grief, depravity and despair: crazed sufferers roam the streets, unearthly screams resound across the city, death carts dump their grisly loads into mass graves, and quackery and skulduggery feed on fear. But there is kindness and courage too, as mutual support and caring are upheld through the worst of days. Defoe's Journal is considered one of the most accurate accounts of the plague, and includes many contemporary theories about the disease, along with rolls of the dead and a literary mapping of London, street by street, parish by parish. It is a fascinating and intimate account from one of the earliest proponents of the novel.

The Victorian era was a time of great change and rapid progress. Britain was undergoing the most tremendous development. Scientific discoveries had prompted the Industrial Revolution, which made Britain the world leader in iron and steel production. Science was undergoing a revolution, enabled by the groundbreaking work of Michael Faraday, who led the Royal Institution. Great swathes of Central Africa were mapped by the explorer David Livingstone and the understanding of humankind's place in the world was being redefined by the theories of the great naturalist Charles Darwin. Brunel's steam-driven ships were connecting continents and Florence Nightingale's work in hospitals helped lay the foundations for modern nursing. In literature, Charles Dickens put the lives of ordinary men and women at the centre of great novels for the first time, and in politics Britain was completely transformed by the reforms of William Gladstone. Written exclusively for Naxos AudioBooks, Great Victorians captures a fascinating period in world history.

Naples '44 is an unflinching autobiographical account of a year in Naples after the armistice and Allied landings in Sorrento in 1943. Working as a British counterintelligence officer under the Allied occupation, Lewis documents the rich pageant of life in the city and it's surrounding areas. There is suffering and squalor: criminal gangs are on the rise, along with typhus and black market commerce, and the female population is forced into part-time prostitution, simply to obtain food. Corruption is rife as a Genovese crime family member makes his way into the US army administration, and local hospitals, short on supplies, buy equipment back from those who stole it. There is farce and humor too, witnessed in the Roman uncle paid handsomely to simply appear at funerals and lend an air of gravitas, and in Lewis's own experience of vetting proposed marriages between British soldiers and local women. Unsparing, penetrating and profoundly humane, Naples '44 is a moving portrait of the costs of war, and the resilience of a society under extreme stress.

Spending their summer holidays with Farmer Braithwaite and his wife in Scatterbrook, John and Susan come across a particularly lifelike scarecrow in a nearby field. That evening, much to the children’s surprise, the scarecrow makes an appearance in the Braithwaites’ Kitchen to warm himself by the fire. He is Worzel Gummidge and he is no ordinary scarecrow. His tendency to cause mayhem wherever he goes sparks a series of mishaps and adventures, often with hilarious results. This is the first of the Worzel Gummidge novels written by Barbara Euphan Todd, originally published in 1936. Jessica Martin is a leading musical theatre actor, voice artist and graphic novelist. Her television credits include voice work for Spitting Image and the role of Mags in the Doctor Who story “The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.” She has played numerous lead roles in West End musicals, including Me and My Girl and Elf. Her first graphic novel, Elsie Harris Picture Palace, was published in 2015.

The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio’s answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Known for its widespread influence including Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales and poetry by Keats, The Decameron is also a valuable document of life at the time of the Black Death. This is the first unabridged cast recording in English and includes prolific stage actor Simon Russell Beale. Ten original songs are featured, composed by West End composer Steven Edis. Guido Waldman’s vibrant translation captures the exuberance of Boccaccio’s masterpiece.

A milestone in the history of the novel, Samuel Richardson's epistolary and elaborate Clarissa follows the life of a chaste young woman desperate to protect her virtue. When beautiful Clarissa Harlowe is forced to marry the rich but repulsive Mr. Solmes, she refuses, much to her family's chagrin. She escapes their persecution with the help of Mr. Lovelace, a dashing and seductive rake, but soon finds herself in a far worse dilemma. Lovelace is a devil in disguise: he promptly imprisons Clarissa, and is determined to break her will. Terrifying and enlightening, Clarissa weaves a tapestry of narrative experimentation into a gripping morality tale of good triumphing over evil. The recording is divided into three volumes, the present release being the first. Clarissa is one of the longest novels in the English canon; many critics agree that it is one of the greatest and most influential in English. For this first ever unabridged recording, a carefully selected cast of readers bring to life Richardson's intricate narrative.

Camille Claudel la transgressive, la sculptrice de genie, l'artiste sulfureuse et maudite, l'amante libre de Rodin, basculant dans la folie, enfermee � l'asile durant les trente dernieres annees de sa vie. Artiste trop en avance sur son temps, elle s'affranchit de toutes les regles, de toutes les conventions sociales. Son oeuvre sera sa vie. Outre qu'elle a sculpte avec acharnement durant trente ans, elle a ete, quasiment toute sa vie, une epistoliere assidue. Des lettres, elle en a ecrit des centaines, et nombreuses sont celles perdues ou detruites. Des lettres qui temoignent de son etat d'esprit, de ses ambitions artistiques, de sa passion tumultueuse avec Rodin, de son caractere emporte, de ses relations familiales et amicales le plus souvent conflictuelles, de sa sante psychique vacillante, de sa condition d'alienee � l'asile. Des ecrits qui sont aussi ceux d'une femme qui, dans un style precis et pur, combat son isolement et l'injustice. Gr�ce � ces lettres, magnifiquement lues par Emmanuelle Devos, on redecouvre son oeuvre ainsi que sa trajectoire, et on comprend pourquoi elle exerce une telle fascination aupres d'un large public. Claude COLOMBINI & Cecile BERLY Camille Claudel the transgressive, the sculptor of genius, the sulphurous and cursed artist, Rodin's free lover, tipped over into madness, locked up in an asylum for the last thirty years of her life. An artist too far ahead of her time, she broke all rules and social conventions. Her work became her life. In addition to her thirty years of relentless sculpting, she was, for most of her life, an assiduous letter-writer. She wrote hundreds of letters, many of them lost or destroyed. Letters that bear witness to her state of mind, her artistic ambitions, her tumultuous passion with Rodin, her fiery temper, her often conflicting family and friendships, her faltering mental health, her insane condition in an asylum. These are also the writings of a woman who, in a precise, pure style, fights against her isolation and injustice. Thanks to these letters, magnificently read by Emmanuelle Devos, we rediscover her work and her trajectory, and understand why she exerts such a fascination on a wide audience.

� L'Arlesienne �, chef-d'oeuvre the�tral d'Alphonse Daudet, plonge au coeur des emotions humaines, explorant les themes intemporels de l'amour, de la passion et des tourments de l'�me. Le personnage enigmatique de l'Arlesienne devient le centre nevralgique du drame, sa presence absente, mais ressentie dans l'esprit des protagonistes, nourrit le mystere qui entoure cette femme insaisissable. L'Arlesienne n'est pas simplement une figure feminine absente, mais un symbole puissant qui incarne les desirs inaccessibles et les reves impossibles. Elle devient le miroir refletant les illusions romantiques et les aspirations idealisees, confrontant les personnages a leurs propres limites emotionnelles. C'est une exploration profonde de la nature humaine, de ses desirs inassouvis et de la maniere don't l'amour peut devenir une force destructrice. Daniel Mesguich, dans une performance remarquable, incarne a lui seul tous les personnages, revelant avec talent le langage pittoresque de Daudet et sa capacite a saisir l'essence du terroir provencal. � L'Arlesienne �, interpretee par Mesguich, offre ainsi une experience the�trale captivante et memorable, o� l'excellence artistique se mele a la richesse narrative de Daudet. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX "L'Arlesienne", Alphonse Daudet's theatrical masterpiece, plunges to the heart of human emotions, exploring the timeless themes of love, passion and the torments of the soul. The enigmatic figure of L'Arlesienne becomes the neuralgic centre of the drama, her presence absent but felt in the minds of the protagonists, fuelling the mystery that surrounds this elusive woman. L'Arlesienne is not simply an absent female figure, but a powerful symbol embodying unattainable desires and impossible dreams. She becomes the mirror reflecting romantic illusions and idealised aspirations, confronting the characters with their own emotional limits. It is a profound exploration of human nature, it's unfulfilled desires and how love can become a destructive force. Daniel Mesguich, in a remarkable performance, single-handedly embodies all the characters, skilfully revealing Daudet's picturesque language and his ability to capture the essence of the Provencal terroir. "L'Arlesienne", performed by Mesguich, offers a captivating and memorable theatrical experience, where artistic excellence blends with Daudet's rich narrative. Audiobook. In French.

Texte mythique et sulfureux pour des generations de lecteurs, le Satiricon offre une plongee unique dans les milieux populaires de l'Italie meridionale antique. Le narrateur, un etudiant libertin nomme Encolpe, vivant dans une sorte de menage a trois avec son compagnon Ascylte et leur jeune amant Giton, nous invite a le suivre dans une succession ininterrompue d'aventures extravagantes. a ses cotes, nous croisons une foule de personnages bigarres, grotesques, debauches, toujours a l'affut d'une bonne affaire, d'un menu larcin ou, a defaut, d'une partie fine. L'auditeur sera peut-etre surpris d'entendre nombre de discussions qui pourraient avoir lieu dans un repas de famille contemporain : critique des hommes politiques, complainte sur le pouvoir d'achat, calomnie contre les disparus. Ces echanges se tiennent dans une langue fleurie et variee, refletant les niveaux de langue et les dialectes des differents convives. La traduction d'Olivier Sers lue par Jean-Pierre Lorit restitue magistralement ces particularismes linguistiques ainsi que la truculence des propos. A mythical and sulphurous text for generations of readers, the Satiricon offers a unique insight into the working classes of ancient southern Italy.

In this fascinating course, Olivier Barri�re, lawyer, and anthropology researcher, takes us to the heart of an essential question: how can we coexist sustainably with living beings, both human and non-human, in a world in the throes of ecological crisis? The result of a collective effort involving 63 researchers, and activists from around the world, this book highlights a powerful idea: our model of society, inherited from the West and dominated by capitalist logic, has severed the ties between humans and nature, transforming living beings into mere resources to be exploited. To break this deadlock, Olivier Barri�re draws on the wisdom of indigenous peoples to invite us to change our perspective, reconnect with living beings, and imagine a new legal and social framework where humans and non-humans can live together in a respectful and sustainable balance. - Claude Colombini and Patrick Fr�meaux

Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX et Patrick FReMEAUX Dominique Bourg, a philosopher of ecology and politics, and Jean-Vincent Holeindre, a political scientist and specialist in international relations, offer their perspectives on a major phenomenon of our time: the return of war to Europe, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. By exploring the connections between multilateralism, armed conflict, and the climate crisis, they reveal dynamics that have rarely been considered together. Through a historical lens, the authors uncover often-overlooked links between humanity's war on nature and the wars it wages against itself. They demonstrate how armed conflicts and climate crises are intertwined and mutually reinforcing. This reflection calls for a profound renewal of strategic and ecological frameworks, in order to better understand and confront today's global challenges.

Observer l'histoire de l'humanite � partir des forets, c'est la perspective enthousiasmante que propose le journaliste, conferencier et essayiste Laurent Testot, qui s'inscrit dans le courant recent et novateur de l'histoire environnementale. L'auteur retrace l'histoire de l'humanite, depuis la formation des premiers empires de l'Antiquite romaine, chinoise et indienne, jusqu'aux societes medievales et modernes, en explorant le lien qu'elles ont entretenu avec leu environnement et leurs forets. On decouvre que, des les debuts de l'histoire humaine, des societes ont rapidement epuise leurs ressources, ce qui a souvent contribue de maniere significative � leur declin, voire � leur disparition. Les forets constituent des ecosystemes vivants d'une grande complexite, essentiels pour garantir l'habitabilite de notre planete. L'auteur prend le pari qu'un enseignement de l'histoire des forets nous permettra de relever les defis environnementaux contemporains. Claude COLOMBINI et Patrick FReMEAUX Journalist, lecturer and essayist Laurent Testot offers an exciting perspective on the history of mankind from the perspective of the forest, as part of a recent and innovative trend in environmental history. The author traces the history of mankind, from the formation of the first empires of Roman, Chinese and Indian antiquity, to medieval and modern societies, exploring their relationship with the environment and their forests. We discover that, from the very beginnings of human history, societies rapidly depleted their resources, often contributing significantly to their decline or even disappearance. Forests are highly complex living ecosystems, essential to ensuring the habitability of our planet. The author takes the gamble that learning about the history of forests will enable us to meet contemporary environmental challenges.

La peur souleve un paradoxe : elle peut soit pousser � agir et soit inhiber l'action. Par exemple, les travaux sur la collapsologie suscitent de tres grandes peurs. Gr�ce � ces alertes, certaines personnes ont pu changer de vie et trouve du sens, d'autres, au contraire, se sont sentis desesperes. Dans ce livre, nous resolvons ce paradoxe et balisons ainsi le chemin pour agir, � partir de la peur mais aussi de la joie. Pablo SERVIGNE & Nathan OBADIA. Ce cours enregistre par Pablo Servigne, collapsologue, et Nathan Obadia, Instructeur d'arts martiaux et therapeute, traite du r�le crucial de la peur dans nos vies. Peur de l'avenir, peur de l'echec ou du conflit, stress, eco anxiete, angoisse existentielle... la peur plane sur nos vies. Ils partent du constat que la peur, souvent percue comme paralysante ou negative, est en realite une source d'energie, de protection et de stimulation. Plut�t que de la fuir, les auteurs proposent de la transformer en alliee. Ils utilisent la metaphore du suricate, un petit animal constamment en alerte face aux dangers, pour illustrer notre systeme de detection des menaces. L'ouvrage explore le rapport � la peur � la fois au niveau individuel et collectif, soulignant que l'apprivoisement de nos peurs peut conduire � une societe plus apaisee et ouverte, plut�t qu'� une societe de contr�le et de securite excessive. en acceptant la peur, il devient possible de retrouver joie, liberte, et de repondre aux grands defis contemporains. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX et Patrick FReMEAUX. This course, recorded by Pablo Servigne, collapsologist, and Nathan Obadia, martial arts instructor and therapist, deals with the crucial role of fear in our lives. Fear of the future, fear of failure or conflict, stress, eco-anxiety, existential angst... fear hangs over our lives. They start from the observation that fear, often perceived as paralysing or negative, is in fact a source of energy, protection and stimulation. Rather than running away from it, the authors suggest turning it into an ally. They use the metaphor of the meerkat, a small animal constantly on the alert for dangers, to illustrate our threat detection system. The book explores the relationship with fear at both individual and collective levels, emphasising that taming our fears can lead to a more peaceful and open society, rather than one of control and excessive security. By accepting fear, we can rediscover joy and freedom, and meet the major challenges of our time.
