Pillory

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The pillory was a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used for punishment by public humiliation and often further physical abuse, sometimes lethal. The pillory is related to the stocks. The word is documented in English since 1274 (attested in Anglo-Latin from c.1189), and stems from Old French pellori (1168; modern French pilori, see below), itself from Medieval Latin pilloria, of uncertain origin, perhaps a diminutive of Latin pila "pillar, stone barrier."

De Profundis and the First Stone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min

De Profundis by Oscar Wilde and The First Stone by T. W. H. Crosland In 1895 Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years gaol with hard labour for offences “of gross indecency.” After spells in Newgate, Pentonville, and Wandsworth prisons, Wilde was transferred to Reading Gaol, where he completed the remainder of his sentence. Two major works were inspired during this period: The Ballad of Reading Gaol, which was prompted by the execution of another prisoner, Charles Thomas Wooldridge in 1896, and De Profundis, a lengthy letter to his former lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde was not allowed to send the letter by post, but was permitted to take it with him when discharged from prison. He gave the letter to Robert Ross, to be sent to Douglas, and departed for France, where he died three years later. Douglas later denied having received the letter. De Profundis was published posthumously in 1905 in an expurgated version which has been used for this recording. The original text, containing nearly 50,000 words, was severely edited by Robert Ross down to a length of just under 18,000 words, many of the emendations being references to the family of the Marquis of Queensberry. Although the complete text was presented at a court case in 1913, it was not published until 1962. In this rambling epistle Wilde reflects on suffering, forgiveness, and redemption. As a confessional text, it ranks with the Confessions of Saint Augustine as an examination of the nature of penitence, its origin and transformative effect. Thomas William Hodgson Crosland (1865-1924) was a journalist and social commentator. He became an associate of Douglas, after the latter had converted to Catholicism as proof of his personal reformation. Crosland was extremely moralistic and missed no opportunity to pillory public figures whom he considered to be examples of moral depravity or hypocrisy. Among his targets was Oscar Wilde, whose contrit ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/002337/bk_mike_002337_sample.mp3.

Tamed by the Highlander , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 254min, (USK 18)

When raiders fall upon Urquhart Castle, Elisabeth Grant, the daughter of the castle's lord - a highlander by birth but educated in the lowlands - is left defenseless when her cowardly father abandons her. At the last moment, her life and her maidenhead are saved from the raiders by Angus MacGregor, the proud highlander she had only hours earlier ordered locked in the pillory for his insolence toward her. Vowing that she will see her home rise from the ruins after the attack, Elisabeth resolves to stay as close to the castle as possible. With her father and his soldiers gone, however, she has nowhere to turn for protection except to the highlander who so recently rescued her. When Angus informs her that he has no interest in a ward or a servant, she impetuously offers to wed the uncouth yet undeniably brave and handsome highlander, whose firm words and strong arms both terrify and excite her. Angus agrees to marry Elisabeth on one condition: She will serve and obey him as a proper wife should, and if she fails in her duties she will be soundly spanked. She agrees to his condition, but when she surrenders to his touch one moment and defies him the next, his desire for her only grows fiercer. Though it quickly becomes clear she will not yield without a fight - and a taste of his leather strap upon her bare bottom - he soon discovers she is like no woman he has ever known, as being chastised until she is writhing and begging only increases her lust for him. But when her father returns to rebuild the ruins of Urquhart even as the threat of another assault on the castle looms, Angus wonders whether Elisabeth will abandon him and return to the life of a noble lady. Even if she stays by his side, will their newly forged bond be shattered in the heat of battle, or will their love and courage be enough to withstand the swords of the marauders? ungekürzt.
