September at Naxos AudioBooks


This month’s titles are moving, enlightening, inspiring and enjoyable!

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is the working-class novel, with the power to change lives. Written in 1906 by impoverished house painter Robert Tressell, it contains within its framework a manifesto for socialism. This moving, grimly humorous and tragic tale is available in both unabridged (18 CDs) and abridged (7 CDs) form.

Naxos AudioBooks adds two more titles to its informative ‘In a Nutshell’ series. Cathedrals – In a Nutshell traces the development of these imposing and astonishing buildings: from those of humble beginnings to those of extravagant contemporary design. Confucius – In a Nutshell examines one of the world’s greatest thinkers – a philosopher whose sayings have held importance for two and a half millennia, even offering fresh insights for today’s globalised society.

Two titles are also being added to the Junior Classics series. The Glory of Ancient Greece is educational as well as enjoyable, explaining how Greece was the cradle of Western civilisation. Favourite Poems for Children is filled with delightful and charming poems, including The Owl and the Pussycat, Jabberwocky and The Pied Piper of Hamelin, which young listeners will enjoy again and again.

Finally, The Black Gang is the second Sapper title released by Naxos AudioBooks this year. It continues the adventures of Bulldog, the forerunner of The Saint and James Bond, who now faces a plot to foment a revolution in England, lead by a master criminal.
