    Modern Russian Poetry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
    This collection, first published in 1917, features the works of 10 Russian poets who were active in the early 20th century. In the preface the anthologist and translator, Paul Selver, writes: "It is hoped that this collection will convey a fairly adequate idea of the chief features in modern Russian poetry, a branch of Russian literature which has so far received very little serious attention in this country. In the main, the translator has considered it his duty to produce renderings which, in themselves, are reasonably good English verse. At the same time, an endeavor has been made to give the meaning of the originals as closely as the restrictions of rhyme and rhythm will permit." This is a bilingual presentation: Each poem is read first in Russian and then in English translation. ©Voices of Today 2015 ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly.

Now, eight centuries later, people everywhere are still laughing at the immortal Mullah Nasruddin, one of the world's most beloved folk characters.

The poets represented in this recording are Henry Kendall, Mrs. J.G. Wilson (Austral), Mrs. Hubert Heron (Australie), Adam Lindsay Gordon, Charles Harpur, Jennings Carmichael, Alfred T. Chandler, Mowbray Morris, George Gordon McCrae, Lindsay Duncan, William Sharp, Keighley Goodchild, Frances Lewin, Thomas Heney, Douglas Sladen, Philip J.

    The vast and mysterious universe is explored in this reprint anthology from award-winning editor and anthologist Neil Clarke (Clarkesworld magazine, The Best Science Fiction of the Year). The urge to explore and discover is a natural and universal one, and the edge of the unknown is expanded with each passing year as scientific advancements inch us closer and closer to the outer reaches of our solar system and the galaxies beyond them. Generations of writers have explored these new frontiers and the endless possibilities they present in great detail.

    Night Shade Books unleashed The Book of Cthulhu onto an unsuspecting world. Critically acclaimed as "the ultimate Cthulhu anthology" and "a 'must read' for fans of Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos," The Book of Cthulhu went where no collection of mythos tales had gone before: to the very edge of madness… and beyond.

Lockhart has risked all to dive back into the Cthulhu canon, combing through mind-shattering manuscripts and moldering tomes to bring you The Book of Cthulhu 2, with even more tales of tentacles, terror, and madness.
