Ten Thousand Stars: Cornucopia of Best-Loved Poems, cartea 2
Autor Jim Weissen Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 5 sep 2017 – vârsta de la 7 până la 17 ani
Seekers of inspiration will find it in William Henley's masterpiece, "Invictus" and Rudyard Kipling's massively popular "If."
Special sections explore favorite poetic movements. In sections on American poetry, Longfellow and Emerson bring the Nineteenth Century to vivid life, while, from the Twentieth Century, Robert Frost reflects on "The Road Not Taken," Paul Laurence Dunbar comments on the need for racial justice, and Emma Lazarus offers welcoming words to be placed at the Statue of Liberty ("Give me your tired, your poor...").
The British Romantics are here, too: Blake's "Tyger" roars, Wordsworth and Lord Byron reveal beauty in nature and in the human heart, and Shelley reflects on the meaning of true greatness in his classic, "Ozymandias."
I believe the words and topics on this recording (the 2nd in our "Cornucopia of Best-Loved Poems" series) will captivate almost any listener and foster the desire to explore more great poetry. So let TEN THOUSAND STARS shine for you

Notă biografică
In 1989, Jim Weiss set out on a mission: to record the greatest stories he knew from world literature and history, and inspire families -- especially young listeners -- with a passionate love of the original classics. In the three decades since then, Jim's narration voice and seemingly numberless character voices have formed foundational entertainment and education for millions of listeners around the world.Winning hundreds of awards, Jim's recordings range on the literary side from fairy tales through stories from Shakespeare, Dickens and Conan Doyle, while his history recordings bring to vivid life major historical events and personalities from the ancient world through the twentieth century.The inspiration for all this began early, with parents and grandparents who told stories and read aloud to him, skills which Jim joyously acquired, and which led him to a degree in Communications and Speech from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later, his wife, Randy, earned her own national awards as a teacher and counselor, and their shared passion for learning led to forming their company in 1989, long before the explosion of spoken word recordings made this a "sensible" decision. The recordings began winning listeners and national awards from the first. A few years ago, the Weiss's licensed their recordings and business operations to Well-Trained Mind Press, which has successfully introduced Jim's work into still more markets, while Jim continues to write, record, teach and perform.
