It looks at English life in the 1830s through the experiences of Molly Gibson, the daughter of a widowed doctor growing up in the provincial town of Hollingford. When Mr. Gibson decides to marry again, Molly is forced to contend with a pretentious stepmother, but consoled by a close friendship with Cynthia, her new stepsister. The girls' relations with the local residents, particularly the Squire of Hamley Hall and his family, make for incidents comic, romantic, and tragic, by turns.

The Impromptu of Versailles by MOLIÈRE (1622 - 1673), translated by Henri van LAUN (1820 - 1896) Genre(s): Humorous Fiction, Plays, Satire Read by: in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Impromptu of Versailles The setup here is that Moliere and his troupe have been sent for by the King to come perform at Versailles. But instead of the piece they had prepared, the King has just asked for an entirely new piece - to be ready later that same day! So all the action of the play takes place backstage as Moliere has to come up with a story and the troupe has to select and prepare roles in a mad panic. Many of the comments in the banter between actors concern personages from Moliere's time - we don't necessarily know them but the biting of the satire still comes clearly through. - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Moliere, a ridiculous Marquis: Thomas A.

Yet the title story still brims with confidence and optimism, marking the moment of hope just before Twain turned to the grim stories of his later years.

Don Garcia of Navarre, or the Jealous Prince by MOLIÈRE (1622 - 1673), translated by Henri van LAUN (1820 - 1896) Genre(s): Plays Read by: in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Act 1 00:24:07 - 02 - Act 2 00:45:12 - 03 - Act 3 01:04:30 - 04 - Act 4 01:30:09 - 05 - Act 5 Nothing can be more unlike The Pretentious Young Ladies or Sganarelle than Molière's Don Garcia of Navarre. The Théâtre du Palais-Royal had opened on the 20th January, 1661, with The Love-Tiff and Sganarelle, but as the young wife of Louis XIV., Maria Theresa, daughter of Philip IV., King of Spain, had only lately arrived, and as a taste for the Spanish drama appeared to spring up anew in France, Molière thought perhaps that a heroic comedy in that style might meet with some success, the more so as a company of Spanish actors had been performing in Paris the plays of Lope de Vega and Calderon, since the 24th of July, 1660. Therefore, he brought out, on the 4th of February, 1661, his new play of Don Garcia of Navarre. Molière wished to create a counterpart of Sganarelle, the type of ridiculous jealousy, and to delineate passionate jealousy, its doubts, fears, perplexities and anxieties, and in this he has succeeded admirably. - Summary by Translator Henri Van LaunCast list:DON GARCIA, Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira: KurtDON ALPHONSO, Prince of Leon, thought to be Prince of Castile, under the name of Don Silvio: Adrian StephensDON ALVAREZ, confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: Tomas PeterDON LOPEZ, another confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: alanmapstoneDON PEDRO, gentleman usher to Inez: Larry WilsonDONNA ELVIRA, Princess of Leon: RapunzelinaDONNA INEZ, a Countess, in love with Don Silvio, beloved by Mauregat, the usurper of the Kingdom of Leon: SoniaELIZA, confidant to Elvira: TJ BurnsStage Directions and Editing: ToddHW More information: https://librivox.org/don-garcia-of-navarre-or-the-jealous-prince-by-moliere/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
