  • Wuthering Heights (Unabridged)

    Emily Brontë The wild and passionate tale of Cathy and Heathcliff's impossible love for each other and its phenomenal setting on the blasted Yorkshire moors has to be one of the best-known love affairs in literature.

    When it was first published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was greeted with a fair degree of outrage, not only for the open description of desire and disaster but for the almost unheard of method of telling the story using unreliable witnesses whose tales and points of view open out from each other, leaving the audience to piece together the truth of the story.

    Only such novels as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had previously attempted to challenge the reader in this way, and it is only in the last century that the true genius of Emily Brontë's work has begun to be appreciated.

    Prepare to be as swept up and buffeted by the extraordinary power of Brontë's storytelling as Cathy and Heathcliff are by the winds of Wuthering Heights.

  • Wuthering Heights (Unabridged)

    Emily Brontë Wuthering Heights is a ghost story with the atmosphere of ancient tragedy. An epic poem in prose, it is widely considered to be one of the greatest English novels. The book was published in 1848 and did not meet with approval at first because of its bleak descriptions of physical and mental cruelty. Essentially, it is a tale of revenge set in the North Yorkshire moorlands.
    Ever since its publication, the novel has eluded classification, and its characters and plot have fascinated and bewildered readers for over 150 years. The title is suitable, as "wuthering" is a provincial term used to describe a tumultuous, stormy atmosphere. The English language has rarely been utilized as well as it has here, and you would need to go back to Shakespeare to find its parallel. Romanticism reached its high water mark with this novel.

Heathcliff is brought into the Earnshaw family, and while the daughter, Catherine, soon warms up to him, the son, Hindley, is not as accepting. As the three children grow older, the relationship between Heathcliff and Hindley never quite thaws and finds Heathcliff actually plotting revenge against him.

    As the characters grow into adulthood, all three of them marry and have children, yet their stories are not without pain and suffering, as the housekeeper reveals in her reveries. Heathcliff grows to live a very lonely life, eventually becoming somewhat insane as he convinces himself that the ghost of his adopted sister, Catherine, is still with him long after she passes. Tales of debt, alcoholism, and betrayal are speckled throughout the housekeeper's recollections of the long history of Wuthering Heights, yet ends with a somewhat positive piece of news.

    Having developed a highly intelligent writing style, Emily ensures that the listener is emotionally involved throughout and often even a little horrified at the events that take place. A true work of art, Wuthering Heights surpasses expectation with its Gothic love scenes and desolate landscapes. Emily Brontë's only published work, it stands alone and will forever imprint itself upon the listener's memory.

  • Cime tempestose (Wuthering Heights)

    Emily Brontë Cime Tempestose (Wuthering Heights) è uno dei capolavori del romanzo inglese dell'Ottocento, ancor oggi molto conosciuto e amatissimo. E' innegabilmente un romanzo d'amore, ma è duro come uno schiaffo e tagliente come un coltello.
    Come l'ha definito Charlotte (sorella di Emily) è "un'opera selvatica e nodosa come una radice d'erica... e potente". Il romanzo narra la storia di Catherine Earnshow/Linton ed Heathcliff (figlio di ignoti), del loro amore e di come questa passione irrisolta alla fine li distrugga entrambi. Il narratore è un gentiluomo di città, Mr. Lockwood, che affitta Thrushcross Grange, una casa di Heathcliff. Questa è vicino al podere di Wuthering Heights, Cime tempestose. Un giorno vi si reca in visita e rimane colpito dagli strani personaggi della casa e costretto a passare la notte lì poiché fuori imperversa la bufera. A Lockwood succedono strani episodi tra cui la visione del 'fantasma' di una donna. Poco dopo egli si ammala e durante la noiosa convalescenza si fa raccontare da Ellen (Nelly) Dean, la governante di Grange, la storia degli abitanti di Cime Tempestose. La passione di Heathcliff per Catherine è così fosca e sinistra da farlo giungere alla distruzione della felicità delle famiglie Earnshaw e Linton. Realistico e simbolico nello stesso tempo, gotico e psicologico, il romanzo ha una struttura circolare perfetta che conduce attraverso i furori di una generazione alla conciliazione di quella successiva. Affascinante, allusivo, crea un piccolo universo di vicende in cui si viene catapultati e che, se preso con il giusto coinvolgimento, riesce ad ammaliare, impaurire, suscitare emozioni profonde.

  • Father's Day Poetry (Unabridged)

    Walt Whitman, Emily Brontë & Rudyard Kipling The role of Fathers has changed much over the course of centuries. Men are now better suited to a role of co-parent in this modern age rather than the stilted, slightly aloof figure of times past.
    Being a Father is, of course, both a blessing and a burden. This modern day parenting in a frenetic fast changing world has to be both learnt and adapted from some inner well of memory from generations past as well as on the job experience. How to combine both the tenderness of love and support of modern views with the age old virtues of strength and leadership brings many difficulties to most men.

    Surprisingly then that poets have given Fathers both a courageous view of life as well as a dependability to be there for their children. In success or failure we can identify with their hopes and dreams.

    In this collection many of our greatest poets express their worded opinions of that unique role of Fatherhood - whether as one themselves or as a child reaching for that same mantle.

    It's a difficult role for most men to assume and to keep perspective with but do you know any Father who is not ready to accept the challenge? Or any son and daughter not willing to acknowledge that unique and binding bond?

    This collection of Father's Day poetry is read for you by Ghizela Rowe and Tim Graham.

  • Cime tempestose (Wuthering Heights)

    Emily Brontë Cime Tempestose (Wuthering Heights) è uno dei capolavori del romanzo inglese dell'Ottocento, ancor oggi molto conosciuto e amatissimo. E' innegabilmente un romanzo d'amore, ma è duro come uno schiaffo e tagliente come un coltello.
    Come l'ha definito Charlotte (sorella di Emily) è "un'opera selvatica e nodosa come una radice d'erica... e potente". Il romanzo narra la storia di Catherine Earnshow/Linton ed Heathcliff (figlio di ignoti), del loro amore e di come questa passione irrisolta alla fine li distrugga entrambi. Il narratore è un gentiluomo di città, Mr. Lockwood, che affitta Thrushcross Grange, una casa di Heathcliff. Questa è vicino al podere di Wuthering Heights, Cime tempestose. Un giorno vi si reca in visita e rimane colpito dagli strani personaggi della casa e costretto a passare la notte lì poiché fuori imperversa la bufera.
