William Dean Howells Lot of 14 Fiction/Non Fiction Audiobooks in 14 MP3 Audio CDs William Dean Howells (1837 – 1920)William Dean Howells (March 1, 1837 – May 11, 1920) was an American realist author and literary critic. Nicknamed “The Dean of American Letters”, he was particularly known for his tenure as editor of the Atlantic Monthly as well as his own prolific writings, including the Christmas story “Christmas Every Day” and the novel The Rise of Silas Lapham. A Hazard of New FortunesRunning Time:16:35:48 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Nicholas CliffordFictionHowell’s novel is set in New York of the late nineteenth century, a city familiar to readers of Edith Wharton and Henry James. Basil March, a businessman from Boston of a literary bent, moves with his family to New York to edit a new journal founded by an acquaintance. Its financial support, however, comes from a Mr. Dryfoos, a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer suddenly become millionaire by the discovery of natural gas on his property, and now living in New York with his family in a style he hopes will befit his new wealth.Is it his new fortune that presents a hazard? Or is it the new wealth of New York City in the Gilded Age? Both March and his literary creator are increasingly aware of some of the social and economic contradictions that beset the city of the time (though some of Howell’s analysis sounds as if it well might fit New York today). Characters such as, among others, Dryfoos’s children, a German socialist immigrant who fought for the Union cause, an impoverished Southern colonel still persuaded that a reformed slavery might work, a young woman drawn from the upper reaches of Old New York society, help to enrich the story and its setting with their differing viewpoints. A Little Swiss SojournRunning Time:1:38:39 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Nicholas CliffordNon-fictionA charming brief account of a two months’ autumnal stay on the shores of the Lake of Geneva. Howells, who was there with his family traveling from England to Italy, has a sharp eye not only for scenery and architecture, but for people and customs, both Swiss and foreign. A Traveller from AltruriaRunning Time:07:36:48 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Phoon, Realistic Speakers; Mark Nelson; Matthew D. Robinson and T. A. NilesSatireSet in the early 1890s, at a fashionable summer resort somewhere on the East Coast of the United States, this book tells the story of Mr. Twelvemough, an author who has been selected to function as host to a visitor from the faraway island of Altruria. The visitor, Mr. Homos, has come all the way to the United States, a country which prides itself on democracy and equality, to experience everyday life in America firsthand, and to see for himself how the principle that “All men are created equal” is being put into practice. Due to Altruria’s secluded existence, very little is known about the island, so Twelvemough and his circle of acquaintances, all of whom are staying at the same resort hotel, seem more eager to learn about Altruria than to explain American life and institutions. To their dismay, it becomes gradually clear that the United States is greatly lagging behind Altruria in practically every aspect of life, be it political, economic, cultural or moral. Annie KilburnRunning Time:7:58:23 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Patti Cunningham, Kristin G., Julia Miller, Joanne and Lynn AlisonRomanceAfter 11 years in Rome, Annie Kilburn returns home to the US after the death of her father. But the home she knew is dramatically changed in many ways. She starts to work with sick children, and finds herself attached to them, and to the minister who helps her, Mr. Peck.

Indian SummerRunning Time:10:42:19 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Leonard WilsonAction & Adventure Fiction, Historical Fiction, RomanceIn his novel Indian Summer, William Dean Howells presents a mellow but realistic story that has the complete feel of that delightful time of the year, although the plot actually spans several seasons. The Indian summer aspect applies to a sophisticated gentleman, Theodore Colville, who has just entered his middle years as he returns to a scene, Florence, Italy, that played an important part in his early manhood. It was here twenty years earlier that he first fell in love, seemingly successfully until a sudden and harsh rejection. Now, after a once profitable career as a newspaper editor has ended, he is barely ensconced in the Italian city when he meets a lady from his past, a close friend of his lost love. Lina Bowen, now a widow with a young daughter, is an attractive and charming socialite among the American and English residents of Florence. Also living with her at this time as a temporary ward is a beautiful young girl just blossoming into womanhood, Imogene Graham. Colville, although he still hides a shy nature, has become an exceedingly witty and entertaining conversationalist. He quickly becomes a favorite with young Effie Bowen and Imogene Graham. Miss Graham indicates a disdain for the shallow young men that she has met and is highly attracted to the urbane, intelligent Mr. Colville. Mrs. Bowen invites Colville to become a regular guest in her home, and for a time the little coterie is delightfully congenial, but then an emotional triangle begins to develop. Imogene seems to be too devoted to this older gentleman, and Colville does not discourage her. Mrs. Bowen, who apparently is captivated by his charm as well, begins to feel overshadowed by her lovely young ward. This is the core of the intriguing plot. Howells’ characters are totally believable in their thoughts, their motivations, their words, and their actions. The dialogue is delightful, both in the lighter conversations and in the more passionate speeches. Aided by the social milieu of expatriates in a historic city of art and culture, the story moves at first slowly and pleasantly, but begins to build inexorably toward an emotional crisis. As the whole plot unwinds before us, we can eventually see that there is really no other way that the events could realistically move. This novel is a very engrossing and satisfying tale of people that we become truly interested in. My Mark TwainRunning Time:3:41:59 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Denny SayersNon-fictionWilliam Dean Howells (1837-1920) became fast friends with Mark Twain from the moment in 1869 when Twain strode into the office of The Atlantic Monthly in Boston to thank Howell, then its assistant editor, for his favorable review of Innocents Abroad. When Howells became editor a few years later, The Atlantic Monthly began serializing many of Twain’s works, among them his non-fiction masterpiece, Life on the Mississippi. In My Mark Twain, Howells pens a literary memoir that includes such fascinating scenes as their meetings with former president Ulysses Grant who was then writing the classic autobiography that Twain would underwrite in the largest publishing deal until that time. But it is also notable for its affectionate descriptions of his friend’s family life during Howell’s many visits to the Twain residences in Hartford and Stormfield. The Coast of BohemiaRunning Time:06:27:40 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by ExpatriateRomanceWilliam Dean Howells is at his iconoclastic best in this exploration of bourgeois values, particularly in the clash between respectable society and the dubious bohemian world of Art and Poetry. Cornelia Saunders has everything going for her in her middle-class world: comfort, good looks, attentive young men. She seems willing to risk it all for the sake of what might be an artistic Gift, venturing with great trepidation to put her foot over the line into Bohemia to see if it might be the thing for her. Skewering the conventions of sentimental literature as usual, Howells keeps the reader guessing to the end as to the fate of Cornelia and her Gift. The Parlor Car | DramaticRunning Time:00:40:57 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Barry Eads, Betsie BushPlayWritten 1876, was not only the first of the so-called railroad plays but was in fact the first of Howells’ 25 one-act dramas. The injection of private intimate experience into public space became a crucial aspect of American life as the 19th century wore on, Howells was a primary theorist of this shift. It is, therefore, no mere coincidence that four of Howells’s situation comedies, a genre to which he devoted considerable energies for thirty-five years, are set in railroad cars or depots. The Rise of Silas LaphamRunning Time:12:35:38 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by B.Vee and Margaret EspaillatFictionThe Rise of Silas Lapham is the most widely read of W.D. Howells’ novels. An example of literary realism, the story is about a farmer (Silas Lapham) who launches a very successful paint business, and moves his family up the social ladder of Boston. Lapham, however, is not one of the new types of American businessman, the ruthless plutocrat, rather he is the old-fashioned trustworthy Yankee trader, and the story deals with how he fares in the industrial capitalist environment. It is also a novel of manners, telling the story of the courtship of a daughter, and the difficulties the family deals with in attempting to move from one social class to another. Twain and Howells On Each OtherRunning Time:03:30:41 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by John GreenmanNon Fiction, Biography & Autobiography, Essays & Short WorksMark Twain (Samuel Clemens) and William Dean Howells were friends for 44 years. Their personal and professional relationship is considered by many to be one of the most important in American literature. Howells published his famous “My Mark Twain” in the same year Clemens died, 1910. A few years earlier, Clemens wrote this “remembrance” and “appreciation” of the man who stuck with him through the ups and downs of his long literary journey. Venetian LifeRunning Time:10:19:43 in 1 MP3 Audio CDRead by Timothy FergusonNon Fiction, History, Travel & GeographyWilliam Dean Howells was American Consul to Venice for four years. His term ended in 1865. He wrote about the city, and the culture of the Venetians, while there, but finished the book once he had returned to America. This is the second edition, which is expanded slightly, to give more information for tourists.Please be aware that although Howells admires people of the east and Jews, he uses period terms and idioms which modern listeners may find offensive. His views of people of African descent may prove offensive to the modern listener as well.
