An ingenious Yankee mechanic, knocked unconscious in a fight, awakens to find himself at
Camelot in A.D. 528. Imprisoned by Sir Kay the Seneschal and exhibited before the knights of the Round
Table, he is condemned to death but saves himself by posing as a magician like Merlin, correctly predicting
an eclipse, and becoming minister to King Arthur. He increases his power by applying nineteenth-century
knowledge of gunpowder, electricity, and industrial methods. However, when he attempts to better the
condition of the peasantry he meets opposition from the church, the knights, Merlin, and the sorceress
Morgan le Fay.
| Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time. Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want. Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again. Many people who are interested in arts and drama and wish to read a piece of classic literature or a Shakespeare play rent a library book or buy one from the shop. Shakespeare wrote some truly magnificent plays and what better way to make the play alive and a much more enjoyable experience than to listen to them in audio format, performed by talented actors. |
