VIVEKANANDA The Man Who Brought Hinduism to America
Edited and narrated by Tim Dalgleish This short account of Swami Vivekananda, the Vedantist who brought Hinduism to America, focuses on the years 1893 to 1897. After a famous speech at the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, Vivekananda promoted his religious beliefs and practices by lecturing extensively across the United States, teaching and attracting devotees, producing a wealth of publications and tracts on Hinduism, encouraging vegetarianism, writing the first book on yoga to appear in America and so on, for a new and enthusiastic audience. This book draws together letters, memoirs and other writings from a wide array of his admirers (and some detractors), including Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Annie Besant, Emma Calvé and Caroline K. Sherman. Also included are contemporary newspaper reports and commentary. There is are letters and lecture by Vivekananda Hinduism as a Religion, which stand in for the vast array of his substantial writings. Similarly, the book utilizes personal and public materials, from these few years of the Swami’s life, to provide a gentle and general introduction to his enduring impact on religious life in America. Vivekananda’s influence in both America and India has been long and enduring. Gandhi drew inspiration from his famous forebear, saying in 1921, ‘I… pay homage and respect to the revered memory of Swami Vivekananda... I have gone through his works very thoroughly, and after having gone through them, the love that I had for my country became a thousand-fold.’ |

Christianity as Mystical Fact & The Mysteries of Antiquity
Written by Rudolf Steiner, Narrated by Tim Dalgleish All readers, atheist, agnostic or theist, will discover much of interest in Steiner's brilliant prose. The influence of Mystery Wisdom on thinkers such as Plato, Heraclitus and Pythagoras is brought to life as Steiner explains how the initiate of the Mystery temples, such as those at Eleusis, ten miles from Athens, learnt to differentiate between mere knowledge and a wisdom that went beyond the transitory, phenomenal world of appearance to noumenal reality. Psychologically the initiate came to believe 'he was himself a product of his daimon' and that he could not accomplish complete unity with the cosmos via the word or logos, but with the help of his daimon, he could (symbolically) die and be reborn. As Cicero said (making a distinction between popular religion and the deeper gnosis of the mystic), '[From the Mysteries] we learn the nature of things rather than that of the gods.' Steiner argues that Christianity was built on the foundations of a pre-history that many have forgotten while making acute observations about many historical figures such as Xenophanes, Empedocles, Plutarch, Plotinus, Pindar, Sallust, the neo-platonists, Zarathustra and the early church fathers. Through Steiner, we recognise how Mystery Wisdom saturates Homer's Odyssey and how for Christians, 'the Cross of Golgotha is the Mystery cult of antiquity condensed into a fact.' |

Kipling in Vermont
The Story of Mowgli's House Written and narrated by Tim Dalgleish with essays by Rudyard Kipling, Howard C. Rice, Edward Bok and others In the summer of 1893 Rudyard Kipling employed a Canadian from Quebec, Jean Pigeon to build him a house in Dummerston, Vermont. Pigeon with nine locals initially built a wooden shed to accommodate themselves, then raised a house for Kipling and his wife Carrie which the young married couple would later call Naulakha. This book is about that house. Naulakha became one of the most important residences Kipling ever had because it was here that he wrote his most enduring and famous work The Jungle Book. Under Naulakha’s roof he also wrote his best known poem If, inspired by the botched Jameson Raid in the Transvaal, in late 1895. In the house was also born narrative poem Gunga Din and a number of other much beloved books, including Captains Courageous, The Day’s Work, Kim, The Seven Seas and The Just So Stories. |

Written and narrated by Tim Dalgleish with Max Ehrmann & Theodore Dreiser In november 1923, Max Ehrmann, the poet and author of the underground classic Desiderata, interviewed Theodore Dreiser, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Scotland Before Scotland: Alt Clut the Kingdom of the Rock
written and narrated by Tim Dalgleish More nations have vanished from this earth than exist today. It is hard to imagine that Scotland or India will one day not exist, yet history is the graveyard of nations. This is the story of one such country, brief in its compass, because like a once mighty ship, a Titan, who has sunk into the ocean of history, its wreckage and remains are meagre. It is the story of a Kingdom called Alt Clut that existed for six, perhaps seven hundred years and is now almost unheard of and unknown. The story of Alt Clut only survives in archaeological finds, linguistic whispers, the chronicles of its neighbours and enemies, king-lists, poetry and legends. *****Audible-Amazon |

George Orwell: The Unknown Orwell & Orwell The Transformation
by Peter Stansky & William Abrahams, narrated by Tim Dalgleish For the first time, these two essential works on George Orwell have been brought together in one audiobook. The Unknown Orwell describes the first 30 years of Orwell's life - his childhood, the years at Eton and in Burma, and the struggles to become a writer. Orwell: The Transformation carries us forward into the crucial years 1933 to 1937 in which Eric Blair, minor novelist, became George Orwell, a powerful writer with a view, a mission, and a message. ‘…presented with considerable charm and eloquence… a portrait of Orwell so vivid that we can practically picture him entering the room.’ The New York Times 'Outdistancing by far all previous attempts to penetrate the Orwellian reticence, Stansky and Abrahams (their Journey to the Frontier won a National Book award in 1967) have accomplished the feat of integrating Blair with his carefully controlled creation Orwell, producing a wholly convincing study of the psychological distancing that converts disaffection into art.' Kirkus Review Edward Upward: Art and Life
by Peter Stansky, narrated by Tim Dalgleish This is a biography of the novelist and short story writer Edward Upward (1903-2009) 'famous' for being the unknown member of the W. H.

His lifelong friendship with Christopher Isherwood was forged at school and university, with each regarding the other as the first reader of his work. At Cambridge they invented the bizarre village of Mortmere, which with its combination of reality and fantasy had an important role in shaping the dominant British literary culture of the 1930s. ****Amazon.com |

Lifting the Veil: Beloved Dead, Biography & Other Appreciations
by Max Ehrmann, narrated by Tim Dalgleish In the 1920s and 1930s, Max Ehrmann was greatly praised and much loved as the author of Desiderata, which still finds a place in many homes and offices around the world (and is included in this recording). Ehrmann was the poet-philosopher of his era. Along with the likes of Theodore Dreiser, author of An American Tragedy, Ehrmann captured the dark realities of life whilst never forgetting the rays of light within the universe. With the poet's passion and the scientist's precision, Ehrmann in Lifting the Veil endeavored to go beyond the philosophers of the ages. In accessible language, he tugs at the veil of reality and the question of meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. Nobel laureate Sinclair Lewis wrote that "Max Ehrmann has been about the world, looking with a clear eye, and tells about it with a sharp pen", and that his books are "honest and straight-forward and are written by a man who has a grasp of literature and a power of expression". Introduced and read by actor Tim Dalgleish, the title essay and companion pieces provide a biographical and intellectual background to the ideas behind Ehrmann's powerful poetic thinking. 'A little gem' *****Amazon.co.uk 'This is a lovely little book, a tantalising foretaste of Max Ehrmann's work and an erudite plea for his former highly esteemed reputation to be re-established in modern literature and philosophy. Tim Dalgleish writes clearly and knowledgeably of the works covered in this collection and through all the featured pieces there is a great sense of pride in and love for the native son of Terre Haute, Indiana.' |

by Major John Dalgleish, Narrated by Tim Dalgleish In this minor war classic, first published by Victor Gollancz in 1945, Major John Dalgleish, ‘Daily Express’ journalist and BBC commentator, provides a short account of the planning for D-Day. ‘MAJOR DALGLEISH has written a valuable book … There was humour in this triumph of planning, and I particularly enjoyed the story of the R.A.M.C. officer whose unit failed to appear at the time of embarkation because his practice was to file all "Top Secret" instructions unopened and wait for orders to open them… Reading [this] might well form part of the military and political education of every citizen.’ S. H. F. JOHNSTON in The Spectator ‘What a great book! Very readable, written by an RASC officer involved in pre-Neptune, pre-Overlord planning... An excellent addition, published just after the war, to the literature; pleasing to have a very British view of what could have been chaos.’ ***** Amazon.co.uk |
