• The Towers of Trebizond (unabridged)

New This Month

Clare Corbett brings us two novels by Rose Macaulay: The Towers of Trebizond and The World My Wilderness. A fascinating and influential British writer who explored themes of women’s rights and social change, Rose Macaulay was highly regarded for her versatility as a writer. The Towers of Trebizond, her best-known novel, follows two women who travel to Turkey and become enamoured with the rich cultural heritage of the country, while The World My Wilderness follows the story of a young girl growing up in London during World War II.

We also have a full cast recording of Laclos’s Dangerous Liaisons led by Nicholas Boulton and Georgina Sutton, as well as Emile Zola’s Money, read by Leighton Pugh, and George Eliot’s first book of fiction, Scenes of Clerical Life, read by Clare Wille.

Also available are two new podcasts: Juliet Stevenson talks to producer John Foley about Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando, in An Interview with Juliet Stevenson; and Rupert Degas and Dr Patrick Chura discuss the American author Albert Maltz (1908–1985), one of the ‘Hollywood Ten’ whose books were suppressed but have recently been recorded by Naxos AudioBooks – available as a video or audio podcast.
