The Rose , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min

This is the second collection of poetry by WB Yeats, first published in 1893, with a new foreword by poet and actor Tim Dalgleish. This is a beautiful collection of poetry that translates the 2,000-year-old mythos of Ireland into words that inspire and touch the mind, body, and spirit of any listener. This audio narration includes music between the poems which underscores and enhances the mood of romance and thoughtfulness. The rose stands for Ireland, but also for Yeats unrequited love Maud Gonne. The poems are romantic and symbolic and once read or listened to, root themselves in one's psyche. The famous "Lake Isle of Innisfree" is included, but essentially, Yeats intended this poetry to be experienced as a collection as presented here in its original published format. The scent of mystical poetic genius rises from every word. This is the Celtic Twilight brought to life. Picture credit: freeimages.com/Scott Schopieray ungekürzt. Language: English.

Lifting the Veil: Beloved Dead, Biography and Other Appreciations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 171min

In the 1920s and 1930s, Max Ehrmann was greatly praised and much loved as the author of Desiderata, which still finds a place in many homes and offices around the world (and is included in this recording). Ehrmann was the poet-philosopher of his era. Along with the likes of Theodore Dreiser, author of An American Tragedy, Ehrmann captured the dark realities of life whilst never forgetting the rays of light within the universe. With the poet's passion and the scientist's precision, Ehrmann in Lifting the Veil endeavored to go beyond the philosophers of the ages. In accessible language, he tugs at the veil of reality and the question of meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. Nobel laureate Sinclair Lewis wrote that "Max Ehrmann has been about the world, looking with a clear eye, and tells about it with a sharp pen", and that his books are "honest and straight-forward and are written by a man who has a grasp of literature and a power of expression". Introduced and read by actor Tim Dalgleish, the title essay and companion pieces provide a biographical and intellectual background to the ideas behind Ehrmann's powerful poetic thinking. ungekürzt.

This is a selection of works by three famous Irishmen: Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats and Bram Stoker. It includes: the short story by Bram Stoker, "Dracula's Guest", which is thought to be the original opening chapter of his famous novel Dracula; Oscar Wilde's poem "Humanitad" and three versions of his "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" (with the original preface by his friend Robert Ross); and finally, an early collection of poetry called The Rose by W. B. Yeats, which includes his famous poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree".There is a general introduction by the writer and actor Tim Dalgleish and other additional material. As the editor writes in the introduction:"One should think of this little collection as if one, that is you yourself, had just walked into a pub in Dublin: You hand over a few coppers to the landlord and stand sipping your pint of the dark, black stuff. In the corner you spy three eccentric looking characters deep in concentrated conversation. As you make your way over you realise they are telling stories. One is an odd looking fellow, with untidy white hair and pince-nez, he is sonorously declaiming, in a sing-song voice, a tale of mythic, even epic, proportions... this will be a night to remember." ungekürzt.

The Stones of Mithras: Poems of the Light , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min

The Stones of Mithras is a beautiful and evocative book of poetry and prose from author and actor Tim Dalgleish. This contemporary traveler's tale is full of unforgettable historical images of lost and ancient cities (especially those of Spain). The poems talk of the inspiration of great art, philosophizing over a cup of coffee, Greek and Roman architecture and mythology and the joy of sitting in parks and imagining the exploits of travelers and writers that went before, from Marco Polo to Maimonides to Marcuse, El Greco and Lorca and even the romance of acting Shakespeare. The author describes the poems as "secular religiosity, a non-believer's paganism reflecting my joy at splashing about in the cross currents that blended Roman, Visigoth, Muslim, Jew and Christian in the great mezcla that is Spanish history." He adds: "If you have the feeling of freedom in your heart you begin to look at all things in the world, cornflowers, cigarettes, smoke, clouds, sky, statues, whatever is nearest to hand or vividly remembered as embodied with, soaked in, painted by, the simple magic of light. Light and especially sunlight has always made me feel everything good is possible. In a world of tragedy and chaos, an individual needs a place, a feeling, a hideout, to settle and renew their thoughts and energies. For me a sun-filled day is that hideout." ungekürzt.
