Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett - FULL AUDIOBOOK
The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896) is considered Jewett's finest work, described by Henry James as her 'beautiful little quantum of achievement.' Despite James's diminutives, the novel remains a classic. Because it is loosely structured, many critics view the book not as a novel, but as a series of sketches; however, its structure is unified through both setting and theme. Jewett herself felt that her strengths as a writer lay not in plot development or dramatic tension, but in character development. Indeed, she determined early in her career to preserve a disappearing way of life, and her novel can be read as a study of the effects of isolation and hardship on the inhabitants who lived in the decaying fishing villages along the Maine coast.

The Adventures of Reddy Fox by Thornton W. Burgess - FULL AUDIOBOOK
The Adventures of Reddy Fox is another in the series of children's stories by conservationist Thornton W. Burgess. In this story, Reddy and Granny Fox must outsmart Farmer Brown's Boy who is out to get Reddy for stealing his pet chicken. Along the way, Reddy encounters many of the citizens of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest and with him, we learn little lessons about life such as the perils of being a show-off; the importance of using all of one's senses; that it is a fine thing to show sympathy and kindness to others - even our enemies; and that the value of a grandmother's wisdom is inestimable. We also learn that after you've stolen a boy's pet chicken and he is coming your way with a gun, a shovel, and a hound dog, it may be time to beat a hasty retreat.

The Rough Riders by Theodore Roosevelt - FULL AUDIOBOOK
Theodore Roosevelt's personal account of The Rough Riders, the name affectionately bestowed on the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, one of three such regiments raised in 1898 for the Spanish-American War and the only one to see action. Roosevelt, serving first as Lt. Colonel and 2nd in command, gives a rousing depiction of the men and horses, equipment, talent, their trip to Cuba, battle strategies, losses, injuries, and victories. He says: 'In all the world there could be no better material for soldiers than that afforded by these grim hunters of the mountains, these wild rough riders of the plains . . accustomed to handling wild and savage horses . . to following the chase with the rifle, both for sport and as a means of livelihood . . they were hardened to life in the open, and to shifting for themselves under adverse circumstances... My men were children of the dragon's blood, and if they had no outland foe to fight and no outlet for their vigorous and daring energy, there was always the chance of their fighting one another: but the great majority, if given the chance to do hard or dangerous work, availed themselves of it with the utmost eagerness.'

The Trial of Oscar Wilde - FULL AUDIOBOOK
In 1895 Oscar Wilde was convicted of gross indecency and sentenced to two years of hard labor. This account of his two trials was compiled from the original shorthand court reports by an anonymous author. While a more complete account of the trial was published several years later, it omitted the more 'sensational' exchanges. This shorter version was clearly intended for a more passionate reader. In it, we hear Wilde's famous defense of 'the love that dare not speak its name', and see the evidence mount as a succession of attractive young men step into the witness box to tell their tales.

The House of a Thousand Candles by Meredith Nicholson - FULL AUDIOBOOK
A top ten bestseller of 1906, The House of a Thousand Candles is part adventure/mystery and part romance. The book begins with young Jack Glenarm returning from various exploits in Europe and Africa to read his grandfather's will. In it, he stands to inherit his grandfather's estate, but only if he can remain for one year in residence at the old man's unfinished 'House of a Thousand Candles' in Annandale, Indiana, with only his grandfather's mysterious valet for company. If he violates the terms of the will, the house will go to a young woman, previously unknown to him, whom the will also forbids Jack to marry if he wants to retain his inheritance. This all sounds very mundane to Jack and he fully expects to be quite bored in very short order. Soon after Jack arrives at Glenarm House, however, various strange occurrences ensue, and he soon finds himself absorbed in the most lively adventure of his life!

Boots and Saddles by Elizabeth Custer - FULL AUDIOBOOK
Elizabeth Custer has penned an engaging portrait of 1870's life on a U.S. cavalry post in the Dakotas, just before her husband and his troops met their tragic deaths in the Battle of the Little Big Horn. 'Our life,' she writes, 'was often as separate from the rest of the world as if we had been living on an island in the ocean.' Her portrait of her husband, General George Armstrong Custer is laudatory—his intellect, his love of dogs (he kept a hunting pack of 40 at the post); but, Boots and Saddles is more than just a memorial. She observes with keen insight, the varied persons, from Indian scouts, to enlisted men, to officer's wives, who make up the army 'family,' on the post. Her sympathetic story about the regimental laundress and midwife, with its sad ending, should take a place in the army's history of 'don't ask, don't tell.'

The Autobiography of an Electron by Charles R. Gibson - FULL AUDIOBOOK
'While many scientific men now understand our place in the universe, we electrons are anxious that every person should know the very important part which we play in the workaday world. It was for this reason that my fellow electrons urged me to write my own biography. I am pleased to say that my relationship with the scribe who has put down my story in the following pages has been of the most friendly description. I have allowed him to place what he calls 'The Scribe's Note' at the beginning of each chapter, but it will be understood clearly that these are merely convenient embellishments, and that I am responsible for the story of my own experiences.'

Alcestis by Euripides - FULL AUDIOBOOK
Alcestis is the earliest surviving play by Euripides. Alcestis, the devoted wife of King Admetus, has agreed to die in his place, and at the beginning of the play, she is close to death. In the first scene, Apollo argues with Thanatos (Death), asking to prolong Alcestis' life, but Thanatos refuses. Apollo leaves but suggests that a man will come to Pherae who will save Alcestis. Euripides' play is perhaps the most unusual Greek drama ever written: a tragedy that is not a tragedy.

An Introduction to Metaphysics by Henri Bergson - FULL AUDIOBOOK
An Introduction to Metaphysics (Introduction a la Metaphysique) is a 1903 essay by Henri Bergson that explores the concept of reality. For Bergson, reality occurs not in a series of discrete states but as a process similar to that described by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus. Reality is fluid and cannot be completely understood through reductionistic analysis, which he said 'implies that we go around an object', gaining knowledge from various perspectives which are relative. Instead, reality can be grasped absolutely only through intuition, which Bergson expressed as 'entering into' the object.

The Mystery of a Hansom Cab by Fergus Hume - FULL AUDIOBOOK

'Truth is said to be stranger than fiction, and certainly, the extraordinary murder which took place in Melbourne on Thursday night, or rather Friday morning, goes a long way towards verifying this saying. A crime has been committed by an unknown assassin, within a short distance of the principal streets of this great city, and is surrounded by an impenetrable mystery. …
'On the twenty-seventh day of July, at the hour of twenty minutes to two o'clock in the morning, a hansom cab drove up to the police station in Grey Street, St. Kilda, and the driver made the startling statement that his cab contained the body of a man who he had reason to believe had been murdered…

Short Science Fiction Collection 030 - FULL AUDIOBOOK
Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas that are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method but are not facts of the author's contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically 'think' rather than 'shoot' their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author's imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written before 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired.
