The group continues its pilgrimage to Canterbury, talking with each other, their interaction mediated (sometimes) by the affable Host - Chaucer himself. Eight leading British actors bring the medieval world into the 21st century, and at least in terms of character, not much seems to have changed!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Canterbury Tales, written near the end of Chaucer's life and hence towards the close of the fourteenth century, Is perhaps the greatest English literary work of the Middle Ages: yet it speaks to us today with almost undimmed clarity and relevance.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Chaucer imagines a group of twenty-nine pilgrims who meet in the Tabard Inn in Southwark, intent on making the traditional journey to the martyr's shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury. Harry Bailly landlord of the Tabard, proposes that the company should entertain themselves on the road with a storytelling competition. The teller of the best tale will be rewarded with a supper at the others' expense when the travellers return to London. Chaucer never completed this elaborate scheme - each pilgrim was supposed to tell four tales, but in fact we only have twenty-four altogether - yet, with the pieces of linking narrative and the prologues to each tale, the work as a whole constitutes a marvellously varied evocation of the medieval world which also goes beyond its period to penetrate (humorously, gravely tolerantly) human nature itself.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Chaucer, as a member of this company of pilgrims, presents himself with mock innocence as the admiring observer of his fellows, depicted in the General Prologue. Many of these are clearly rogues - the coarse, cheating Miller, the repulsive yet compelling Pardoner - yet in each of them Chaucer finds something human, often a sheer vitality or love of life which is irresistible: the Monk may prefer hunting to prayer, but he is after all a manly man, to be an abbot able. Perhaps only the unassuming, devoted Parson and his humbly labouring brother the Ploughman rise entirely above Chaucer's teasing irony; certainly the Parson's fellow clergy and religious officers belong to a Church riddled with gross corruption. Everyone, it seems, is on the make, in a world still recovering from the ravages of the Black Death.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: Select Music &amp; Distribution&lt;br&gt;Author: Geoffrey Chaucer&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Full Cast Performance&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 9 62634 304 4&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $15.49 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=8472 " &gt;Lost Angel &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Lost Angel&lt;/em&gt; is one of the best books I have ever read.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt; --Amazon.com reviewer&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lost Angel&lt;/em&gt; is a pulp-fiction mystery in which four characters, in four short stories, have their lives interweave with one another over 2,000 miles of Interstate-40.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The trip begins in the fall of 1976 with the formative years of a serial killer whom the media later call the Freeway Slasher.

Here are some of his greatest poems, stories and broadcasts: readings given by Thomas himself in the 1940s and 1950s as well as new recordings by leading Welsh actors of our own time. Under Milk Wood is Thomas's undisputed masterpiece, an unforgettable, affectionate portrait of a small Welsh town. Written for radio, its intimate blend of poetry and drama made it an instant classic; and so it remains in this unmatched recording with a perfect cast led by Richard Burton. But here, also, are two fascinating earlier radio programmes, Return Journey to Swansea and Quite Early One Morning, written and performed by Thomas, which show the past that led to Under Milk Wood.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The last two CDs contain new recordings of a selection of stories (including Memories of Christmas and A Visit to Grandpa's) and poems in which contemporary performance offers an interesting contrast to the 'authentic' voice of Thomas himself.&lt;br&gt;Publisher: Select Music &amp; Distribution&lt;br&gt;Author: Dylan Thomas&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Full Cast Performance&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 9 62634 343 5&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $18.75 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=11113 " &gt;Complete Ghost Stories of M.R.James, The - Part One &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;A college clock strikes eleven on a winter&amp;rsquo;s evening in the historic university town of Cambridge at the end of the nineteenth century.

In "Fire in the Hole," Raylan Givens, last seen in Riding the Rap and Pronto, meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. In the title story, "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. In all nine stories -- each unique in their own right -- reluctant heroes and laid-back lowlifes struggle for power, survival, and their fifteen minutes of fame. And as always, the stories ring true with Leonard's signature deadpan social observations and diabolical eye for the foibles of the good guys and the bad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: Harper Collins US&lt;br&gt;Author: Elmore Leonard&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Taye Diggs&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 0 06 052780 3&lt;br&gt;Normal Price: $29.95&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $16.95 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=7995 " &gt;Complete Ghost Stories of M.R.James, The - Part Two &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;A college clock strikes eleven on a winter&amp;rsquo;s evening in the historic university town of Cambridge at the end of the nineteenth century.

In "Fire in the Hole," Raylan Givens, last seen in Riding the Rap and Pronto, meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. In the title story, "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. In all nine stories -- each unique in their own right -- reluctant heroes and laid-back lowlifes struggle for power, survival, and their fifteen minutes of fame. And as always, the stories ring true with Leonard's signature deadpan social observations and diabolical eye for the foibles of the good guys and the bad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: Harper Collins US&lt;br&gt;Author: Elmore Leonard&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Taye Diggs&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 0 06 052780 3&lt;br&gt;Normal Price: $29.95&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $16.95 &lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.shortfilminsider.com/2007/08/room-for-night-short-story.html' title='A room for the night  (Short Story)'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5091368863381552502&amp;postID=6189647799677807671' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.shortfilminsider.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5091368863381552502/posts/default/6189647799677807671'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5091368863381552502/posts/default/6189647799677807671'/><author><name>Publisher</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091368863381552502.post-8445685707463776784</id><published>2007-08-07T18:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-07T18:15:11.326-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Children Playing Before A Statue of Hercules  (Short Story)</title><content type='html'>&lt;P&gt;Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules is collection of short stories-some classic, others impending-selected and introduced by David Sedaris.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;With this audiobook a careful listener can discover the truth about loneliness, betrayal, love and hope.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Where the Door is Always Open and the Welcome Mat is Out&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;By Patricia Highsmith - Read by Cherry Jones&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Bullet In the Brain by Tobias Wolff&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Read by Toby Wherry&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Gryphon by Charles Baxter&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Read by David Sedaris&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried by Amy Hempel&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Read by Mary-Louise Parker&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Cosmopolitan by Akhil Sharma&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Read by the Author&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: Simon &amp; Schuster&lt;br&gt;Author: Various&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Various&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 0743551664&lt;br&gt;Normal Price: $19.95&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $11.95  &lt;a target="_blank" href='http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=2385 '&gt;Click here for more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;A wonderful reading of the story of Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the Ghosts of Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: In Audio&lt;br&gt;Author: Charles Dickens&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Ralph Cosham&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 1 58472 227 4&lt;br&gt;Normal Price: $17.95&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $10.50  &lt;a target="_blank" href='http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=10258 '&gt;Click here for more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thirteen stories in all including the best stories of Clovis, 'The Open Window', and 'The Lumber Room' and other favorites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: In Audio&lt;br&gt;Author: Saki&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Tom Sellwood&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 1 58472 347 5&lt;br&gt;Normal Price: $15.95&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $10.50  &lt;a target="_blank" href='http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=10271 '&gt;Click here for more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.shortfilminsider.com/2007/08/children-playing-before-statue-of.html' title='Children Playing Before A Statue of Hercules  (Short Story)'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5091368863381552502&amp;postID=8445685707463776784' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.shortfilminsider.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5091368863381552502/posts/default/8445685707463776784'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5091368863381552502/posts/default/8445685707463776784'/><author><name>Publisher</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091368863381552502.post-2685256802083450282</id><published>2007-08-06T21:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-06T21:15:08.166-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Talking Heads 2  (Short Story)</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;     The second collection of six Individual portraits from the master of the monologue   &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   Darker and more intense than the first collection, these six stories uncover the secrets behind ordinary suburban lives.

New Zealand-born, Katherine Mansfield settled in England where she wrote a series of short stories that are widely recognised as among the finest of the 20th century for their economy, clarity, sensitivity and effect. The Garden Party is one of her most famous, while The Daughters of the Late Colonel shows how her wonderful sense of wit throws a shadow of poignance. Kate Chopin, writing in the last years of the 19th century, broke new ground with her daring view of women as individuals with human needs. Lilacs and Ma'ame Pelagie are sympathetic portraits of women with differing dilemmas. Woolf's The Mark on the Wall illustrates, in short story form, the turmoil within the stillness which became such a mark of her later novels. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br&gt;Publisher: Select Music &amp; Distribution&lt;br&gt;Author: Various&lt;br&gt;Narrator: Full Cast Production&lt;br&gt;ISBN: 9 62634 238 2&lt;br&gt;Download Price: $11.99 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.audiobookarchives.com/title.aspx?titleId=272 " &gt;Fall of the House of Usher, The: Pit and the Pendulum, The: And Other Tales... &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe.

Different in atmosphere and writing style, they nevertheless caught the mood and concerns of the day in a way that was distinctly American. Bierce's 'An Occurrence...' leaves echoes in the imagination; the stories by Crane and London recall the themes of the Civil War and the Klondike for which they are well known. Twain's humour is to the fore in The Notorious Jumping Frog.... And O. Henry's sharp observation makes his neat tales a joy to listen to.

Each story describes a small but significant moment of crisis or revelation in the life of a particular Dubliner, sympathetically but always with stark honesty. Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it. This book holds none of the difficulties of Joyce's later novels, such as Ulysses, yet in its way it is just as radical.

The stories range from the romantic, courtly idealism of The Knight's Tale to the joyous bawdy of The Miller's; all are told with a freshness and vigour in this modern verse translation that make them a delight to hear.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;The Canterbury Tales, written near the end of Chaucer's life and hence towards the close of the fourteenth century, Is perhaps the greatest English literary work of the Middle Ages: yet it speaks to us today with almost undimmed clarity and relevance.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Chaucer imagines a group of twenty-nine pilgrims who meet in the Tabard Inn in Southwark, intent on making the traditional journey to the martyr's shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury.

The teller of the best tale will be rewarded with a supper at the others' expense when the travellers return to London. Chaucer never completed this elaborate scheme - each pilgrim was supposed to tell four tales, but in fact we only have twenty-four altogether - yet, with the pieces of linking narrative and the prologues to each tale, the work as a whole constitutes a marvellously varied evocation of the medieval world which also goes beyond its period to penetrate (humorously, gravely tolerantly) human nature itself.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Chaucer, as a member of this company of pilgrims, presents himself with mock innocence as the admiring observer of his fellows, depicted in the General Prologue. Many of these are clearly rogues - the coarse, cheating Miller, the repulsive yet compelling Pardoner - yet in each of them Chaucer finds something human, often a sheer vitality or love of life which is irresistible: the Monk may prefer hunting to prayer, but he is after all a manly man, to be an abbot able. Perhaps only the unassuming, devoted Parson and his humbly labouring brother the Ploughman rise entirely above Chaucer's teasing irony; certainly the Parson's fellow clergy and religious officers belong to a Church riddled with gross corruption.

Though writing in the 14th century, Chaucer's wit and observation comes down undiminished through the ages, especially in this accessible modern verse translation. The stories vary considerably: the uproarious Wife of Bath's Tale, promoting the power of women; the sober account of patient Griselda in the Clerk's Tale; the ribald Reeve's Tale and the diverting tale of Chanticleer told by the Nun's Priest.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The group continues its pilgrimage to Canterbury, talking with each other, their interaction mediated (sometimes) by the affable Host - Chaucer himself.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Canterbury Tales, written near the end of Chaucer's life and hence towards the close of the fourteenth century, Is perhaps the greatest English literary work of the Middle Ages: yet it speaks to us today with almost undimmed clarity and relevance.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Chaucer imagines a group of twenty-nine pilgrims who meet in the Tabard Inn in Southwark, intent on making the traditional journey to the martyr's shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury.
