Martin Eden [Audiobook]

Martin Eden [Audiobook]

Martin Eden, Jack London's semiautobiographical novel about a struggling young writer, is considered by many to be the author's most mature work. Personifying London's own dreams of education and literary fame as a young man in San Francisco, Martin Eden's impassioned but ultimately ineffective battle to overcome his bleak circumstances makes him one of the most memorable and poignant characters Jack London ever created.

Teachers Under Pressure

What is it really like to be a teacher in today's demanding classrooms?
The authors of this book spoke to teachers, parents and students in the UK, Asia, America and Australia and had some shocking responses to their questions. By looking at highly topical issues within teaching, such as teacher stress and teacher workload, they uncover an often bleak picture where individuals are frequently stretched to breaking point as they endeavour to 'make a difference'.

A Day's ReadA Day's Read

Reading great literature can be an exhilarating enterprise, one that can expand the way you see the world around you-and yourself. Unfortunately, its also an enterprise that requires a lot of what many of us dont have these days: spare time. "Great books" such as Don Quixote, War and Peace, and Bleak House constitute a grand reading list that many of us, with our busy lives, cant easily manage. Or, if we read them over weeks or months, we can easily lose our way, or even lose interest.

Bleak House by Charles Dickens (BBC Radio) As the interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce grinds its way through the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of people: Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn; the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket; and even Jo, the destitute little crossing-sweeper.
