George MacDonald's fairy stories and fantasy have inspired a number of writers including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and of this popular fairy story, which as you might suspect concerns a little princess plotted against by a race of goblins, G.K. Chesterton said that it 'made a difference to my whole existence.' (Summary by Andy Minter)

Svetasvatara Upanishad by UNKNOWN ( - ), translated by F. Max MÜLLER (1823 - 1900)
Genre(s): Ancient
Read by: Jothi Tharavant in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - First Adhyaya
00:07:35 - 02 - Second Adhyay
00:13:28 - 03 - Fourth Adhyaya
00:21:26 - 04 - Third Adhyaya
00:28:17 - 05 - Fifth Adhyaya
00:33:22 - 06 - Sixth Adhyaya
The word Upanishad (upa-ni-shad) consists of, 'Upa' means 'near;' 'ni' means 'down;' 'shad' means 'to sit.' Thus, Upanishad is to sit down near the teacher to discuss, learn, practice, and experience. There are some 200 or more Upanishads. Some are lost and are only known about because of being referenced in other Upanishads. Most of the Upanishads were kept secret for centuries, only passed on to others orally in the form of Shlokas (a category of verse line developed from the Vedic Anustubh meter).Shvetashvatara Upanishad is embedded in Yajurveda. The name 'Shvetashvatara' has the compound Sanskrit root Shvetashva (श्वेताश्व, Shvet + ashva), which literally means 'white horse' and 'drawn by white steeds'. The Shvetashvatara Upanishad opens with metaphysical questions about the primal cause of all existence, its origin, its end, and what role if any did time, nature, necessity, chance, and the spirit had as primal cause? It then develops its answer. The chronology of Shvetashvatara Upanishad is uncertain and contested. It was probably composed in the 5th to 4th century BCE.The 11 principal Upanishads to which Sankara appeals in his great commentary on the Vedanta-Surtras are: Chandogya, Talavakara or Kena, Aitareya, Kaushitaki, Vajasaneyi or Isha, Katha, Mundaka, Taittirtiyaka or Taittiriya, Brihadaranyaka, Svetasvatara, and Prasna. They are also called the 11 classical Upanishads or the fundamental Upanishads of the Vedanta Philosophy. Apart from these, Maitrayana-Brahmana-Upanishad is also considered as an important Upanishad. The Upanishadic literature is not a religious scripture and is free from dogma and doctrines. It is not a part of any religion but is a philosophy for all times and for all. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, impressed by the Upanishads, called the texts 'the production of the highest human wisdom'. Summary by Jothi

That Lass o' Lowrie's by Frances Hodgson BURNETT (1849 - 1924)
Genre(s): Romance
Read by: Phil Benson in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 42 - Ashley-wold
00:08:51 - 43 - Liz comes back
00:13:06 - 44 - Not yet
Frances Hodgson Burnett was born and grew up in Manchester, England, and emigrated to the United States with her family at the age of 16. For her first novels, written in Knoxville, Tennessee and published in New York, she drew upon her knowledge of life and speech of the Lancashire working classes. Set in a Lancashire mining town, That Lass o' Lowries is a gritty, and at times brutal, tale of romance across the classes, which stands in stark contrast to her later work. - Summary by Phil Benson

Common Sense (version 3) by Thomas PAINE (1737 - 1809)
Genre(s): Political Science
Read by: Phil Chenevert in English
Chapters:
00:00:00 - 01 - INTRODUCTION
00:03:51 - 02 - OF THE ORIGIN AND DESIGN OF GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL, WITH CONCISE REMARKS ON THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTION
00:20:04 - 03 - OF MONARCHY AND HEREDITARY SUCCESSION
00:44:44 - 04 - THOUGHTS ON THE PRESENT STATE OF AMERICAN AFFAIRS
01:30:50 - 05 - OF THE PRESENT ABILITY OF AMERICA, WITH SOME MISCELLANEOUS REFLECTIONS
02:00:54 - 06 - APPENDIX
Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775-76 that inspired people in the Thirteen Colonies to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776. In clear, simple language it explained the advantages of and the need for immediate independence. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation. It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. Washington had it read to all his troops, which at the time had surrounded the British army in Boston. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history. Common Sense presented the American colonists with an argument for freedom from British rule at a time when the question of whether or not to seek independence was the central issue of the day. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood. Forgoing the philosophical and Latin references used by Enlightenment era writers, he structured Common Sense as if it were a sermon, and relied on Biblical references to make his case to the people. He connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as 'the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era'.(from Wikipedia)
