    Evangeline, Hörbuch, Digital, 120min
    Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie" is an epic poem by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published in 1847. The poem follows an Acadian girl named Evangeline and her search for her lost love Gabriel, set during the time of the expulsion of the Acadians. The idea for the poem came from Longfellow's friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Longfellow used dactylic hexameter, imitated from Greek and Latin classics, though the choice was criticized. It was published in 1847 and became Longfellow's most famous work in his lifetime. It remains one of his most popular and enduring works. The poem had a powerful effect in defining both Acadian history and identity in the nineteenth and twentieth century. More recent scholarship has revealed the historical errors in the poem and the complexity of the expulsion and those involved, which the poem ignores. Language: English. Narrator: Leonard Wilson.

    The Solitary Envoy: Heirs of Acadia, Book 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 197min
    Erica Langston's comfortable home and loving family carry no outward hint of the sorrows and fears faced by her Acadian forbears, but she soon discovers that similar determination and fortitude will be required of her. When the British invade the fledging nation called the United States and march into Washington D.C., leaving death and destruction in their wake, Erica is left to deal with the creditors circling around the crumbling family business. It seems her only recourse is to travel to England to collect on outstanding debts held in a British bank. Erica's voyage to England is only the beginning of a much more significant journey. Her position with the family of a U.S. diplomat in the Court of St. James puts her in contact with a social reformer who introduces her to something she never anticipated - a reformation of the heart.
