Acerca de esta escucha
This is an essay from the Favorite Essays collection.
Here, in this unusual collection, are some of the greatest essays in Western literature. Witty, informative and imaginative, the topics vary from starvation in Ireland, fine China, the extension of railways in the Lake District, and the tombs in Westminster Abbey. A little like after-dinner monologues, they are passing thoughts expressed as journalism. Neville Jason reads with urbane clarity.

Socialist, philosopher, and poet William Morris (1834 - 1896) was at the center of the design renaissance of the 1880s, not only because of his celebrated hostility to aspects of machine culture, but because of his success as a designer and businessman whose work had enormous influence on the next generation of artists, craftsmen, and designers.

"The King of the Golden River" is the magical story of a boy named Gluck, his evil brothers, and a dangerous quest to find treasure lurking in the Golden River. It is a classic tale and the only fairy tale the famous English author and critic ever wrote. It could also be classified as a fable or parable since it it explains "how things came to be".

On the snow-covered slopes of Utah, the unthinkable has just become a nightmarish reality: thirty Secret Service agents have been viciously executed and the vacationing president of the United States kidnapped by one of the most lethal terrorist organizations in the Middle East - the Fatah Revolutionary Council. But surviving agent and ex-Navy SEAL Scot Harvath doesn't believe the Fatah Revolutionary Council is responsible for the attack.

Reseñas editoriales
In "The Extension of Railways in the Lake District: A Protest," John Ruskin argues against a proposed expansion of the railway into the beautiful natural area of the Lake District. Ruskin earned fame as a 19th-century English art critic. Neville Jason selected this essay for its intellectual depth and performs it as a passionate plea. With a voice both academic and mature, Jason employs an appropriately cultured tone. Clear diction and deliberate pacing make the old-fashioned syntax listener-friendly. An experienced actor and voice over artist, Jason has earned both a Talkies Award and an Audiophile Earphone Award.
That's why he's famous.
This gives you a little glimmer of one of the most prolific writers, ever.
