Queen Elizabeth by Jacob Abbott audiobook.

Genre: biography

There are certain names which are familiar, as names, to all mankind; and every person who seeks for any degree of mental cultivation, feels desirous of informing himself of the leading outlines of their history, that he may know, in brief, what it was in their characters or their doings which has given them so widely-extended a fame. Consequently, great historical names alone are selected; and it has been the writer's aim to present the prominent and leading traits in their characters, and all the important events in their lives, in a bold and free manner, and yet in the plain and simple language which is so obviously required in works which aim at permanent and practical usefulness. This volume is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 1 by Edward Gibbon audiobook.

Genre: history

The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a major literary achievement of the 18th century published in six volumes, was written by the celebrated English historian Edward Gibbon. Volume I was published in 1776, and went through six printings (a remarkable feat for its time). Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV, V, VI in 1788-89. The original volumes were published as quartos, a common publishing practice of the time.The books cover the period of the Roman Empire after Marcus Aurelius, from just before 180 to 1453 and beyond, concluding in 1590. They take as their material the behaviour and decisions that led to the decay and eventual fall of the Roman Empire in the East and West, offering an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell.Gibbon is sometimes called the first “modern historian of ancient Rome.” By virtue of its mostly objective approach and highly accurate use of reference material, Gibbon’s work was adopted as a model for the methodologies of 19th and 20th century historians.

The Channings by Ellen Wood audiobook.

Genre: drama

In the cathedral town of Helstonleigh, the Channings are known for steady principles, close family bonds, and a hard-won respectability tied to the Church and its schools. But when a bitter legal dispute leaves the family shaken and their prospects narrowed, the brothers Charles (Charley) and Tom Channing are forced to grow up fast amid the strict routines and rivalries of the choir school and the watchful world of the Close. A minor act of boyish mischief soon gives way to a far graver crisis: a theft, a scandal that threatens reputations, and an accusation that seems to point in the worst possible direction. Faced with the weight of family honor and his own conscience, one brother makes a choice that will bind them together with painful intensity and set them on a desperate search for the truth. As the godly Channings and the more worldly Yorkes circle one another through friendship, resentment, and uneasy attraction, Ellen Wood builds a story of sacrifice and suspicion, where public judgment can be as dangerous as private guilt, and where faith is tested not in sermons, but in consequences.
