In general the historical details seem to fit what I was able to glean about him, though obviously the words, thoughts and specific day to day events that Graves attributes to him are fictional.Ĭlaudius was lame, sickly, and a stutterer. I, Claudius, being one of the earliest popular modern historicals, tells the story of the Roman Emperor Claudius, with Claudius as the first-person narrator of his own biography. I find Roman history interesting, like most ancient history, but I have never really studied it, so I don't know how accurate Robert Graves' famous set of novels is. Filled with poisonings, betrayal, and shocking excesses, I Claudius is history that rivals the most exciting contemporary fiction. Lame, stammering Claudius, once a major embarrassment to the imperial family and now emperor of Rome, writes an eyewitness account of the reign of the first four Caesars: the noble Augustus and his cunning wife, Livia the reptilian Tiberius the monstrous Caligula and finally old Claudius himself and his wife, Messalina. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is one of the best historical novels ever written. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and NATO forces withdrew after two decades of war. Monday’s report on corporal punishment documents Taliban practices both before and after their return to power in August 2021, when they seized the capital of Kabul as U.S. The restrictions have triggered an international uproar, increasing the country’s isolation at a time when its economy has collapsed - and worsening a humanitarian crisis. The Taliban began carrying out such punishments shortly after coming to power almost two years ago, despite initial promises of a more moderate rule than during their previous stint in power in the 1990s.Īt the same time, they have gradually tightened restrictions on women, barring them from public spaces, such as parks and gyms, in line with their interpretation of Islamic law. “In the event of a conflict between international human rights law and Islamic law, the government is obliged to follow the Islamic law,” the ministry said in a statement. The Taliban foreign ministry said in response that Afghanistan’s laws are determined in accordance with Islamic rules and guidelines, and that an overwhelming majority of Afghans follow those rules. She also called for an immediate moratorium on executions. “Corporal punishment is a violation of the Convention against Torture and must cease,” said Fiona Frazer, the agency’s human rights chief. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm convinced that Hemingway himself would applaud this performance of his work, and most certainly buy Mr. The first thing I did when I finished this was pull A Farewell to Arms from my bookshelf and re-read it, with Slattery's performance fresh in my mind. Finally, as he read the female characters, I did not find myself listening to a man trying to do a woman's voice, but rather to that woman herself. His delivery was as spare as Hemingway's prose itself, and his depiction of the Italian, English and American characters added a whole new dimension to the story. This popular Radio audio book is now available for free. ![]() But I was not prepared for the excellent performance by Slattery. Listen the original A Farewell to Arms audiobook by Lux Radio Theatre in full length for free. He gets the balance between the hard-bitten laconic tone of the narrative, from the terse war reflections to the suppressed pain at the end. And of course as a Hemingway classic I knew the writing is good. Would you consider the audio edition of A Farewell to Arms to be better than the print version John Slattery does a fine job narrating Hemingway's classic novel. But going forward, I'm likely to buy any book narrated by John Slattery. Male narrators who make intelligent women sound like bimbos, women narrators who make men sound like munchkins, readers who overperform. I usually don't pay much attention to the narrator of an audio book, except the ones I don't like. ![]() ![]() Inscribed first edition of this epic and intimate, humorous and tragic story of writer T.
