#1168: Prologue, Bk. 3, A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation by St. Thomas More

A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation continues. It’s the next day, and Vincent has just heard some bad news.

This chapter seems to be less of a satire on Henry VIII’s England and more a straight discussion of Eastern Europe’s main worry at that time. It includes a lot of discussion about the Ottoman Empire and Islam — some of which sounds very familiar — as well as descriptions of people’s reactions to the invasion threat — some of which also seem familiar.

Book  Three, Prologue.

But Wait, There’s More!

Some of the authors I’ve enjoyed reading over here, are going to get attention over on Librivox in the next few months. So keep an eye out!
There are two J.M. Falkner projects coming up: the children’s historical adventure Moonfleet, and the second version available on the Net of The Lost Stradivarius, a creepy Victorian tale.

Another upcoming project is The Film Mystery by Arthur B. Reeve, a full length Craig Kennedy novel written during the early days of the silver screen. You movie buffs will love it!

Bonus Book for Holy Week Below!

I hope you folks on the RSS feed love me, ’cause I’ve now linked to all the chapters of the bonus book. Phew, that’s a lot….

My regularly scheduled programming of science fiction, fantasy, poetry, and other public domain audiobooks will return next week, at its regularly scheduled time. See you then!

UPDATE: I neglected to notice last week that, sometime on March 12th, this blog received its 100,000th view. (On WordPress.) No matter how you count it, that’s pretty nifty. So thanks again for your interest, everybody. 🙂

ANOTHER UPDATE: If you want to listen to something a bit shorter, Father Z has provided a reading of Way of the Cross meditations written by St. Alphonsus Liguori, and of the Passion from the Gospel of St. John chanted in Latin. Father Z also has a reading of the Way of the Cross meditations written in 2005 by Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI.
