A new interpretation of the life of the Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture. Among the defining figures of the Age of Revolution, Toussaint Louverture is the most enigmatic. Though the Haitian revolutionary's image has multiplied across the globe-appearing on banknotes and in bronze, on T-shirts and in film-the only definitive portrait executed in his lifetime has been lost. Well versed in the work of everyone from Machiavelli to Rousseau, he was nonetheless dismissed by Thomas Jefferson as a "cannibal." A Caribbean acolyte of the European Enlightenment, Toussaint nurtured a class of black Catholic clergymen who became one of the pillars of his rule, while his supporters also believed he communicated with vodou spirits. And for a leader who once summed up his modus operandi with the phrase "Say little but do as much as possible," he was a prolific and indefatigable correspondent, famous for exhausting the five secretaries he maintained, simultaneously, at the height of his power in the 1790s.

Author: Lewis Grassic Gibbon
Narrator: Charlton Griffin
Spartacus is one of the most unusual historical novels of the 20th century and certainly one of the most realistic. In a whirlwind of savagery, despair, and desperation, the listener is suddenly and violently plunged into the great Roman slave revolt of 73 BC. The author, Lewis Grassic Gibbon, does not waste time by slowly setting up his characters, nor in leisurely describing domestic scenes. From the first word, you are literally hurled into the frenetic life of an escaped Greek slave by the name of Kleon. As the novel rapidly unfolds, you experience vicariously the harsh reality of being a slave on the Italian peninsula during the first century before Christ: the brutality, the fear, and the hatred. All of the characters are real people whose names have come down to us from the ancient accounts of Plutarch, Sallust, and Appian. Though the three historians differ somewhat in their accounts, Gibbon has deftly combined the historic narratives into a seamless, dramatic whole. Spartacus, Crixus, Crassus ("the Lean"), and all the others are masterfully presented to us in all their terrible existence. The listener is urged to seek out the Wikipedia article "Third Servile War" in order to study the maps displaying the complex and sometimes baffling movements of Spartacus and his slave army. Follow along as Spartacus and a band of mighty warriors escape from a gladiator school in Capua and attract tens of thousands of followers. It is a revolt that will shake Rome to its foundations...and it almost succeeded.
