MP3 Audio CD. Celibates is a story of three characters: Mildred Lawson, John Norton and Agnes Lahens. They have no similarities of interests other than an infinite love of themselves and an failure to empathize with others. In that streak, it sets up a salient picture of our own prevailing narcissistic society. George Augustus Moore was an Irish author, short fiction writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and playwright. Moore came from a Roman Catholic wealthy family who resided at Moore Hall in Carra, County Mayo. He firstly dreamed to be a painter, and learned art in Paris in the 1870s. There, he became friends with several of the prominent French artists and authors of his time. As a naturalistic author, he was one of the first English-language writers to engross the teachings of the French realists, and was mainly inspired by the writings of Émile Zola. His works inspired James Joyce, in accordance with the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann, and, though Moore's opus is at times appeared as beyond the typical Irish and British literature, he is as frequently considered as the first finest modern Irish writer. His family had resided in Moore Hall, nearby Lough Carra, County Mayo for about a century. Their home was put up by his father?s great-grandfather, also known as George Moore, who was wealthy as a wine tradesman in Alicante. The author?s grandfather was a comrade of Maria Edgeworth, and writer of An Historical Memoir of the French Revolution. His great-uncle, John Moore, was president of the Province of Connacht in the transitory Irish Republic of 1798 in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The writer?s father, George Henry Moore, traded his stable and hunting pastimes in the Great Irish Famine, and then served as an Independent Member of Parliament (MP) for Mayo in the British House of Commons., 0<

MP3 Audio CD. Celibates MILDRED LAWSON. I. The tall double stocks were breathing heavily in the dark garden; the delicate sweetness of the syringa moved as if on tip-toe towards the windows; but it was the aching smell of lilies that kept Mildred awake. As she tossed to and fro the recollections of the day turned and turned in her brain, ticking loudly, and she could see each event as distinctly as the figures on the dial of a great clock. 'What a strange woman that Mrs. Fargus--her spectacles, her short hair, and that dreadful cap which she wore at the tennis party! It was impossible not to feel sorry for her, she did look so ridiculous. I wonder her husband allows her to make such a guy of herself. What a curious little man, his great cough and that foolish shouting manner; a good-natured, empty-headed little fellow. They are a funny couple! Harold knew her husband at Oxford; they were at the same college. She took honours at Oxford; that's why she seemed out of place in a little town like Sutton. She is quite different from her husband; he couldn't pass his examinations; he had been obliged to leave. ... What made them marry? 'I don't know anything about Comte--I wish I did; it is so dreadful to be ignorant. I never felt my ignorance before, but that little woman does make me feel it, not that she intrudes her learning on any one; I wish she did, for I want to learn. I wish I could remember what she told me: that all knowledge passes through three states: the theological, the--the--metaphysical, and the scientific. We are religious when we are children, metaphysical when we are one-and- twenty, and as we get old we grow scientific. And I must not forget this, that what is true for the individual is true for the race. In the earliest ages m, 0<
