Title: [Russian] - Герой нашего времени Author: михаил лермонтов Narrator: алексей агранович Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 5 minutes Release date: December 11, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: «Герой нашего времени» — единственный завершенный роман Михаила Лермонтова. Это социально-психологическая драма, в которой сюжет отходит на задний план, уступая все внимание главному герою — необычному, зачастую неприятному, сомнительному, непонятному, запутавшемуся в своих мыслях и чувствах, а потому запутавшему всех остальных Григорию Печорину. Вдохновленный «Евгением Онегиным», Лермонтов собрал «портрет, составленный из пороков всего нашего поколения, в полном их развитии». Портрет, который должен был уличить общество в его недостатках, а в итоге рассказал о трагедии пост-романтического героя: несомненно порочного, однако завораживающе притягательного и прежде всего настоящего. Озвучить эту книгу было большим желанием актера и режиссера Алексея Аграновича, который и стал голосом «Героя нашего времени». «Если вы любовались вымыслами гораздо более ужасными и уродливыми, отчего же этот характер, даже как вымысел, не находит у вас пощады? Уж не оттого ли, что в нем больше правды, нежели бы вы того желали?..». михаил лермонтов Mon, 11 Dec 2023 09:17:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/735803 thebookvoice.com 5:5:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/735803]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Immortal A Christmas Carol Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Bell, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 24 minutes Release date: December 11, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'A Christmas Carol' follows the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted old man, throughout one magical Christmas Eve. The narrative begins with Scrooge, a wealthy but stingy moneylender, dismissing the Christmas season with contempt and refusing to give to charity. He dislikes the idea of Christmas joy and generosity, considering them a waste of time and money. On Christmas Eve, as Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley, burdened with heavy chains as punishment for his greed and selfishness in life, warns Scrooge that he will suffer a similar fate unless he changes his ways. Marley tells Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits that night. The first the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge on a journey through his childhood and early adulthood. Scrooge witnesses scenes from his past, including his lonely and neglected childhood, lost love, and moments when he chose money over relationships. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, shows Scrooge scenes of people joyfully celebrating Christmas in the present. Scrooge is particularly moved by the Cratchit family, especially Bob Cratchit and his son Tiny Tim, who is ill. Despite their poverty, the Cratchits find happiness in each other and embody the true spirit of Christmas. The third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (or the Ghost of Christmas Future), shows Scrooge a bleak future if he continues on his current path. Scrooge sees his lonely death and the lack of mourning from those around him. He also witnesses Tiny Tim's death, which is a result of the family's inability to afford proper medical care. Frightened and remorseful, Scrooge pleads for a chance to change. He promises to embrace the Christmas spirit and become a better person.

Title: The Life & Adventures Of Santa Claus Author: L. Frank Baum Narrator: The Bell, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 37 minutes Release date: December 11, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus' is a fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum, the author best known for creating 'The Wizard of Oz.' The book was first published in 1902 and has since become a classic Christmas tale. The story provides a unique and imaginative take on the origins and life of Santa Claus. Instead of focusing solely on the familiar figure who delivers presents on Christmas Eve, Baum's narrative delves into the mythical and magical aspects of Santa's existence. The novel explores Santa's early years, depicting him as an orphaned child named Claus who is found and raised by a woodland fairy named Necile. As Claus grows older, he becomes enchanted with the joy of giving and begins delivering toys to children. Over time, Claus evolves into the legendary figure we know as Santa Claus, with the help of magical beings like the Immortals. Baum's 'The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus' presents a charming and fantastical account of how Santa Claus came to be, blending folklore, fairy tale elements, and Baum's signature whimsical style. The novel has been adapted into various forms, including animated films and stage productions, and it remains a cherished part of holiday literature. If you enjoy exploring the magical origins of beloved characters, this book offers a delightful and enchanting perspective on the life of Santa Claus. L.

Title: Forgettable in Every Way Author: Jennifer Peel Narrator: Will Watt, Justis Bolding Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 26 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Jules A word of advice? Never fall in love with an Englishman in New York. If you do, chances are that he’ll captivate your soul and never let you go. Take me, for instance. For the last thirteen years, I’ve heard “So This Is Love” on repeat every time I think of Simon Harrison. If this is love, it kind of sucks. Especially given that Simon only ever saw me as his friend before proceeding to marry my supposed best friend. The worst part is that I thought for once in my life someone saw me. That he saw me. But I was wrong. So wrong. Or was I? Simon Thirteen years ago, I made a colossal mistake without even knowing it when I let Jules Carmichael disappear from my life. I had no idea the woman I always thought of as my best mate could have been so much more if I’d only opened my eyes to see what was right in front of me. But now that I find myself divorced and face-to-face with the lovely creature again, she wants nothing to do with me, and it’s driving me mad. If she could only see that I’m not the daft younger man who let her slip away, I have a feeling we could have something unforgettable.

Title: Forgettable in Every Way Author: Jennifer Peel Narrator: Will Watt, Justis Bolding Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 26 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Jules A word of advice? Never fall in love with an Englishman in New York. If you do, chances are that he’ll captivate your soul and never let you go. Take me, for instance. For the last thirteen years, I’ve heard “So This Is Love” on repeat every time I think of Simon Harrison. If this is love, it kind of sucks. Especially given that Simon only ever saw me as his friend before proceeding to marry my supposed best friend. The worst part is that I thought for once in my life someone saw me. That he saw me. But I was wrong. So wrong. Or was I? Simon Thirteen years ago, I made a colossal mistake without even knowing it when I let Jules Carmichael disappear from my life. I had no idea the woman I always thought of as my best mate could have been so much more if I’d only opened my eyes to see what was right in front of me. But now that I find myself divorced and face-to-face with the lovely creature again, she wants nothing to do with me, and it’s driving me mad. If she could only see that I’m not the daft younger man who let her slip away, I have a feeling we could have something unforgettable.

Title: Aldous Huxley: A BBC Radio Collection: Including Brave New World, Antic Hay, The Devils & more Author: Aldous Huxley Narrator: Milton Lopes, James Cooney, Claire Faulconbridge, Emily Pithon, Jonathan Coy, Justin Salinger, Peter Bowles, Michael Bryant, David Learner, Sarah Badel, Garard Green, Full Cast, Edward Petherbridge, Anton Lesser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: April 4, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: BBC Radio adaptations of Aldous Huxley’s finest works – plus a bonus documentary programme ‘Over nine hours’ worth of quality drama… The stories presented in ‘A BBC Radio Collection’ combine to give the listener a taste of Huxley’s versatility as a writer. His vivid imagination always leaves the listener with philosophical ideas to ponder.’ Greg Jameson, Entertainment Focus Philosopher, pacifist, psychonaut and prophet, Aldous Huxley was one of the 20th century’s pre-eminent intellectuals and writers. The author of over 50 books, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize nine times, and elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1962, a year before his death. Known for his mordant satire and visionary ideas, Huxley spanned the period from post-First World War disillusionment to mid-century mysticism, and the works in this collection reflect his literary evolution. Antic Hay, his witty, ironic portrait of the glittering hedonism of 1920s London, is dramatised by award-winning playwright Mike Harris, and stars James Cooney and Emily Pithon. Originally a short story, Huxley’s dark comedy of manners The Gioconda Smile was adapted as a hit West End play in 1948. This BBC Radio dramatisation stars Peter Bowles as the womanizing Henry Hutton, about to marry his second wife but accused of killing his first. Brave New World is Huxley’s classic 1932 tale of a future totalitarian dystopia, where promiscuity is the norm, eugenics a respectable science and the drug Soma is freely available. Adapted for Radio 4, it stars Jonathan Coy, Justin Salinger, Milton Lopes and Anton Lesser. Aldous Huxley’s 1953 novel The Devils of Loudun, an imagined account of a real-life witch trial in 17th-century France, was revamped for the stage as The Devils in 1960. A gripping tale of mass hysteria, religious and sexual obsession and alleged demonic possession, this radio version stars Michael Bryant and Sarah Badel. The Dwarves, a full-cast drama based on Chapter 13 of Crome Yellow, tells the story of Sir Hercules and his wife Filomena, whose country-house haven for dwarves like themselves is unexpectedly threatened. David Learner, Claire Faulconbridge and Garard Green star. Concluding our collection are readings of five of his short stories set in the 1920s and a fascinating biographical documentary. Edward Petherbridge reads ‘Cynthia’, ‘The Bookshop’, ‘Eupompus Gave Splendour to Art by Numbers’, ‘Fard’ and ‘The Portrait’, while the documentary All Those Vile Bodies explores the contradictions of the satirist of the brittle 20s turned prescient critic of 20th-century progress. Valentine Cunningham presents, with contributions from Sybille Bedford, Lord Jenkins, Sir Stephen Spender, Gavin Ewart, Julian Symons and Lewis Wolpert, and archive recordings of Huxley, his brother Julian and contemporaries.

Lewis Narrator: Peter Coates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 6, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'The Silver Chair' stands as the fourth captivating installment in C.S. Lewis's renowned fantasy series, 'The Chronicles of Narnia.' In this adventure, readers are introduced to Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, two new characters drawn into the magical realm of Narnia. They embark on a quest to rescue Prince Rilian, the missing son of King Caspian, who disappeared while searching for his missing mother. Guided by the wise and valiant Puddleglum, a Marshwiggle, the trio sets out on a perilous journey to the Underland, a dark and mysterious realm ruled by an enchantress. As they encounter strange creatures, face treacherous landscapes, and navigate the challenges of their quest, the characters are tested in their resolve and loyalty.

Title: The Tempest Author: William Shakespeare Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 8 minutes Release date: December 3, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610–1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that he wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants: Caliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. In Act IV, a wedding masque serves as a play-within-a-play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and elevated language. Although The Tempest is listed in the First Folio as the first of Shakespeare's comedies, it deals with both tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a category of romance for this and others of Shakespeare's late plays.

Title: Mr Britling Sees It Through Author: H.G. Wells Narrator: Marty Krz, Denis Daly Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Wells had a keen interest in the political and social issues of his day, one of the most significant of which was the outbreak of the First World War. This book, written in 1916, presents the story of Mr Britling, a political commentator, living in comfortable security in his country estate at Matchings Easy, in Essex. He entertains a varied assembly of guests, including Mr Direck, an American journalist, and Herr Heinrich, a German philology student who acts as a family tutor, and the general atmosphere is a hectic social whirl, involving wild games of hockey, extravagant dinners, and florid conversation. This avoidant conviviality is shattered by the military adventurism of Germany and Austria, and the resultant involvement of other countries on the European continent in a world war. Even though Mr Britling remains in England, the war has major ramifications on his family and friends, and his view of the world. In the middle of the book, Wells presents his own succinct summary of the action: “This story is essentially the history of the opening and of the realization of the Great War as it happened to one small group of people in Essex, and more particularly as it happened to one human brain. It came at first to all these people in a spectacular manner, as a thing happening dramatically and internationally, as a show, as something in the newspapers, something in the character of an historical epoch rather than a personal experience; only by slow degrees did it and its consequences invade the common texture of English life. If this story could be represented by sketches or pictures the central figure would be Mr. Britling.” H.G.

Title: Alfred Lord Tennyson: In Memoriam, Idylls of the King, Maud & more: A BBC Radio Collection Author: Alfred Tennyson Narrator: Charles Tennyson, Hallam Tennyson, Mary Wimbush, Holliday Grainger, Ruth Padel, Rachel Bavidge, Full Cast, Peggy Ashcroft, Jonathan Keeble, Tim Pigott-Smith, Melvyn Bragg, Andrew Sachs, John Sir Gielgud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: A definitive collection of Tennyson’s finest works Alfred Lord Tennyson is one of Britain’s greatest and most popular poets. Even during his lifetime, he was considered a national institution: Queen Victoria appointed him Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held for 42 years, and in 1884 he became the first writer to be granted a baronetcy. In a long and fruitful career, he penned numerous classic works, and this BBC Radio collection showcases some of the very best. We begin with two of his masterpieces, dramatised by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The Idylls of the King is an extraordinary epic poem that infuses the legend of King Arthur with a passionate intensity. Told here in five acts, it stars Tim Pigott-Smith. Considered one of the finest elegies, In Memoriam was written in response to the sudden death of his friend Arthur Hallam. This drama weaves the peerless poem into the story behind it, and stars Holliday Grainger, James Cooney and Ashley Margolis. Crossing the Bar plunges us into Tennyson’s stirring sea-narratives, with sea-songs performed by a cappella trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. It includes the poems ‘The Kraken’, ‘The Sea Fairies’, ‘Enoch Arden’, ‘The Voyage of Maeldune’ and ‘Crossing the Bar’ - read by John Dougall, Rachel Bavidge, Sam Dale, Jasmine Callan, Stuart McLoughlin and Joseph Kloska. In Maud, Tennyson’s dark, lyrical verses tell of a disturbed young man roaming the windswept hills, madly in love and haunted by loss. Dramatised for radio in 1969, Harold brings to life the story of England’s last Anglo-Saxon King, starring Gabriel Woolf. Next up are readings of Tennyson’s best-loved poems, including seven written in the language of his native Lincolnshire and introduced by his great-grandson Hallam Tennyson. ‘Aylmer’s Field’, his Victorian version of the Romeo and Juliet story, is read by Andrew Sachs; while Peggy Ashcroft reads his celebrated lyrical ballad ‘The Lady of Shalott’. ‘The Lotos-Eaters’, inspired by the tale of Odysseus and his mariners, is read by Sir John Gielgud. ‘The Northern Farmer’, ‘The Parson’s Daughter’, ‘The Church Warden and the Curate’, ‘Owd Roa,’ ‘The Village Wife’, ‘The Northern Cobbler’ and ‘The Spinster’s Sweet-Arts’ are read by Edward Campion and Mary Wimbush. Lastly, ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ is read by Alfred Badel, and ‘The Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington’, read by the poet's grandson Sir Charles Tennyson. We conclude with a pair of fascinating documentaries exploring the poet’s life and work. Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson sees Ruth Padel investigating the man behind the image, while In Our Time: Tennyson’s In Memoriam finds Melvyn Bragg discussing the poet’s moving meditation on love and death.

Title: Alfred Lord Tennyson: In Memoriam, Idylls of the King, Maud & more: A BBC Radio Collection Author: Alfred Tennyson Narrator: Charles Tennyson, Hallam Tennyson, Mary Wimbush, Holliday Grainger, Ruth Padel, Rachel Bavidge, Full Cast, Peggy Ashcroft, Jonathan Keeble, Tim Pigott-Smith, Melvyn Bragg, Andrew Sachs, John Sir Gielgud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: A definitive collection of Tennyson’s finest works Alfred Lord Tennyson is one of Britain’s greatest and most popular poets. Even during his lifetime, he was considered a national institution: Queen Victoria appointed him Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held for 42 years, and in 1884 he became the first writer to be granted a baronetcy. In a long and fruitful career, he penned numerous classic works, and this BBC Radio collection showcases some of the very best. We begin with two of his masterpieces, dramatised by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts. The Idylls of the King is an extraordinary epic poem that infuses the legend of King Arthur with a passionate intensity. Told here in five acts, it stars Tim Pigott-Smith. Considered one of the finest elegies, In Memoriam was written in response to the sudden death of his friend Arthur Hallam. This drama weaves the peerless poem into the story behind it, and stars Holliday Grainger, James Cooney and Ashley Margolis. Crossing the Bar plunges us into Tennyson’s stirring sea-narratives, with sea-songs performed by a cappella trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. It includes the poems ‘The Kraken’, ‘The Sea Fairies’, ‘Enoch Arden’, ‘The Voyage of Maeldune’ and ‘Crossing the Bar’ - read by John Dougall, Rachel Bavidge, Sam Dale, Jasmine Callan, Stuart McLoughlin and Joseph Kloska. In Maud, Tennyson’s dark, lyrical verses tell of a disturbed young man roaming the windswept hills, madly in love and haunted by loss. Dramatised for radio in 1969, Harold brings to life the story of England’s last Anglo-Saxon King, starring Gabriel Woolf. Next up are readings of Tennyson’s best-loved poems, including seven written in the language of his native Lincolnshire and introduced by his great-grandson Hallam Tennyson. ‘Aylmer’s Field’, his Victorian version of the Romeo and Juliet story, is read by Andrew Sachs; while Peggy Ashcroft reads his celebrated lyrical ballad ‘The Lady of Shalott’. ‘The Lotos-Eaters’, inspired by the tale of Odysseus and his mariners, is read by Sir John Gielgud. ‘The Northern Farmer’, ‘The Parson’s Daughter’, ‘The Church Warden and the Curate’, ‘Owd Roa,’ ‘The Village Wife’, ‘The Northern Cobbler’ and ‘The Spinster’s Sweet-Arts’ are read by Edward Campion and Mary Wimbush. Lastly, ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ is read by Alfred Badel, and ‘The Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington’, read by the poet's grandson Sir Charles Tennyson. We conclude with a pair of fascinating documentaries exploring the poet’s life and work. Searching for Alfred in the Shadow of Tennyson sees Ruth Padel investigating the man behind the image, while In Our Time: Tennyson’s In Memoriam finds Melvyn Bragg discussing the poet’s moving meditation on love and death.

Title: Notes from the Underground Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky Narrator: Peter Coates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 43 minutes Release date: November 30, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In 'Notes from Underground' by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, we are not talking about revolutionary personalities, a secret struggle for some ideas Fyodor Dostoyevsky tells the story of a man who is 'too conscious.' The man, whose name we never learn is so aware of his own thoughts and feelings as to cause him to be indecisive and overly self-critical. Add in his belief that societal expectations are shaping his actions.  Notes From Underground is one of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's most well renowned novels. It is thought to be one of the first existentialist Russian works. The novella is the disorganized memoir of an unknown narrator, who is referred to by critics as the Underground Man. His narration is disjointed and unreliable, and is colored by a general sense of disdain. The reoccurring themes in Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground, such as hopelessness, self-consciousness, and his grotesque Gogol-esque style of prose, proved to hold much literary influence on 20th century Russian writers, exemplified in novels such as We, Envy, and Master and Margarita.

Title: The Lays of Marie de France Author: Marie De France Narrator: Georgina Sutton, David Rintoul Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 6 minutes Release date: December 16, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The 12 Lays of Marie de France offer one of the most striking collections of short narrative poems of the 12th century - two centuries before Chaucer. Written in Anglo-French, they contain beguiling and entertaining stories of love and romance, of chivalry and adventure with sometimes even a magical twist. They are especially unique in early literature by being ascribed to a female poet, Marie de France: in the very first Lay - 'Guigemar' - is the introductory line: ‘Hear my Lords, what Marie says, who does not wish to be forgotten in her time.' In this modern prose translation by Edward J. Gallagher, professor of French studies, Wheaton College, Norton Massachusets, the vigour and spirit of the Lays is foremost, balanced by gentle poetry and story-telling. Professor Gallagher, in his introduction, explains: ‘If Chrétien de Troyes' five romances and the two Old French versions of the Tristan story constitute the medieval precursors of the modern novel, The Lays can be considered the medieval antecedents of the modern short story. What is undeniable is Marie de France's place in literary history as the most accomplished writer of lays.' Each of the Lays focuses on some extraordinary adventure involving in all cases a problematic love relationship in a chivalric society. The geographic setting is frequently, but not exclusively, Britain or continental Brittany. These are tales of honourable love, adulterous love, old men attempting to guard young wives, betrayal, hope and despair. Often, strict moral codes expected by the Church of the time are flouted as love conquers all. The Lays are read engagingly by Georgina Sutton. A short introduction leading to the Lays, and scholarly notes to conclude by Professor Gallagher are read by David Rintoul.

Title: The Old Man in the Corner: and Other Detective Stories Author: Baroness Orczy Narrator: Martyn Swain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 4 minutes Release date: June 14, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: An old man sits in the corner of a London tea house. In comes a young lady reporter, and a conversation ensues. 'Mysteries!' he comments. 'There is no such thing as a mystery in connection with any crime, provided intelligence is brought to bear upon its investigation.' At first, the reporter wants to terminate the exchange, swiftly. But she cannot walk away when a notorious unsolved murder becomes the topic of their conversation and this slightly disreputable yet decided character declares that the solution, of course, is obvious! Miss Polly Burton may be dismissive, but she finds herself drawn into the story he presents. And the scene is set. Though best known for The Scarlet Pimpernel, the Hungarian novelist Baroness Orczy was a prolific and versatile writer who could turn her pen to other genres. So, in the social and literary context of the huge success of Sherlock Holmes, she developed a memorable but nameless character with remarkable powers of detection. The first stories appeared in The Royal Magazine in 1901, and other series followed. The first collection appeared in book form in 1905. Entitled The Old Man in the Corner, it contained a dozen entertaining stories, opening with 'The Fenchurch Street Mystery' and continuing with 'The Robbery in Phillimore Terrace', 'The York Mystery' and 'The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railway'. Classic diverting crime of its time.

Title: The Confusions of Young Master Törless Author: Robert Musil Narrator: Jamie Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 17, 2022 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Robert Musil (1880-1942) is best known for his enduring masterpiece The Man Without Qualities, one of the great European works of the 20th century. It was with The Confusions of Young Master Törless first published in 1906, a challenging but very different work, that he signalled his extraordinary talent. As the nineteenth century draws to an end, young Torless is sent to a military boarding school for the sons of the nobility on the eastern outreaches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Far from his comfortable, free-thinking bourgeois home and left to his own devices, he experiences the joy, pain and self-doubt of adolescence. He is confronted with desire and love, but also his own cruelty, as he finds himself participating in his fellow pupils' bullying campaigns. A dark Bildungsroman which shocked its readership at the time, Robert Musil's first novel is a fresco of psychoanalysis, philosophy, eroticism, snobbery, sado-masochism and schoolboy humour, a hothouse of alternately repressed and unchained desires that prefigure the carnage of both World Wars.

Title: The Provincial Lady in Wartime: The Provincial Lady, Book 4 Author: E. M. Delafield Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: February 28, 2019 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Provincial Lady in Wartime, though the last of the Provincial Lady series, is one of the finest. No further ‘Diaries' had appeared since The Provincial Lady in America (published in 1934) when, in 1939, Harold Macmillan, then chairman of Macmillan publishers and a fan, made a personal request to E. M. Delafield for a new book. The onset of the war with Germany was serious, but, he said, Britain, was in need of the entertaining but pertinent observations from the Provincial Lady! Delafield duly set to work and produced the longest and in a way the most interesting of the ‘Diaries' without losing its sense of fun, of seemingly casual frivolity. The Provincial Lady in Wartime covers a short time - from 1 September 1939 (just before the declaration of war on 3 September) to 21 November 1939, when fact again met fiction and E. M. Delafield was really ‘called up' to work for the Ministry of Information. As a result, the focus in the book was on the ‘Phoney War' when the country found itself in a fever of preparation without the intense action that was to follow a short time after. The Provincial Lady finds herself in London, looking for voluntary work to support the war effort, which proves an unexpectedly difficult thing to achieve. Her interactions with a varied host of companions, also caught up in a strange frenzy, reflect so clearly the mood and tension of the time, yet the account is witty, apposite - and so very English, with the stiff upper lip underpinning it all. This book is both hugely entertaining and a faithful portrait of the months before hostilities began in earnest - as seen, of course, from the quirky eyes and particular milieu of the Provincial Lady, whom we have come to love and admire. Sad, then, that it was to be the last ‘Diary'. However, this recording also contains The Provincial Lady in Russia, the three articles Delafield wrote for Harper's Magazine in 1937 covering her three-month visit to the USSR. These deft pieces of more personal journalism are again witty, observant and informative, showing how ably Delafield combines a light touch with more serious conclusions. The three essays are: 'The Provincial Lady in Moscow' (Harper's Magazine, January 1937) 'They Also Serve: The Provincial Lady in Leningrad' (Harper's Magazine, February 1937) 'To Speak My Mind About Russia: The Provincial Lady in Odessa' (Harper's Magazine, March 1937) As always, Georgina Sutton serves E. M. Delafield so well, with a vivacious yet perfectly placed reading. E. M.

Delafield Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: February 28, 2019 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Provincial Lady in Wartime, though the last of the Provincial Lady series, is one of the finest. No further ‘Diaries' had appeared since The Provincial Lady in America (published in 1934) when, in 1939, Harold Macmillan, then chairman of Macmillan publishers and a fan, made a personal request to E. M. Delafield for a new book. The onset of the war with Germany was serious, but, he said, Britain, was in need of the entertaining but pertinent observations from the Provincial Lady! Delafield duly set to work and produced the longest and in a way the most interesting of the ‘Diaries' without losing its sense of fun, of seemingly casual frivolity. The Provincial Lady in Wartime covers a short time - from 1 September 1939 (just before the declaration of war on 3 September) to 21 November 1939, when fact again met fiction and E. M. Delafield was really ‘called up' to work for the Ministry of Information. As a result, the focus in the book was on the ‘Phoney War' when the country found itself in a fever of preparation without the intense action that was to follow a short time after. The Provincial Lady finds herself in London, looking for voluntary work to support the war effort, which proves an unexpectedly difficult thing to achieve. Her interactions with a varied host of companions, also caught up in a strange frenzy, reflect so clearly the mood and tension of the time, yet the account is witty, apposite - and so very English, with the stiff upper lip underpinning it all. This book is both hugely entertaining and a faithful portrait of the months before hostilities began in earnest - as seen, of course, from the quirky eyes and particular milieu of the Provincial Lady, whom we have come to love and admire. Sad, then, that it was to be the last ‘Diary'. However, this recording also contains The Provincial Lady in Russia, the three articles Delafield wrote for Harper's Magazine in 1937 covering her three-month visit to the USSR. These deft pieces of more personal journalism are again witty, observant and informative, showing how ably Delafield combines a light touch with more serious conclusions. The three essays are: 'The Provincial Lady in Moscow' (Harper's Magazine, January 1937) 'They Also Serve: The Provincial Lady in Leningrad' (Harper's Magazine, February 1937) 'To Speak My Mind About Russia: The Provincial Lady in Odessa' (Harper's Magazine, March 1937) As always, Georgina Sutton serves E. M. Delafield so well, with a vivacious yet perfectly placed reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731425 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731425]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Crimen y castigo [Crime and Punishment] Author: Fiódor Dostoievski Narrator: Joan Mora Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 18, 2021 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Fiódor Dostoievski (1821-1881) escribió su obra maestra Crimen y castigo - que se publicó por primera vez en 1866 - después de haber pasado cuatro años de su vida en una prisión estatal en Siberia. Ingeniero de formación, inicialmente había sido condenado a muerte por conspiración contra el zar, tras ser detenido en una reunión del círculo Petrashevski, grupo intelectual socialista al que pertenecía. Estar encarcelado con hombres de las clases sociales más bajas, muchos de los cuales eran criminales violentos y asesinos, que en gran medida lo despreciaban a él y a los de su clase, le dio una oportunidad única de explorar y comprender la mente humana, en particular la mente del asesino. Dostoievski luchó por dar sentido e integrar en su entendimiento muchas de las nuevas ideas que se estaban extendiendo por Europa y Rusia, y esa lucha se refleja en la mente de su personaje central, el antihéroe Rodión Románovich Raskólnikov. La novela comienza con Raskólnikov, un estudiante fracasado de derecho, empobrecido y casi famélico, tratando de evitar que su casera le vea cuando sale de su alojamiento porque no ha pagado el alquiler. Camina por las calles de San Petersburgo en una calurosa tarde de verano. Dostoievski pinta un cuadro perturbador de las desigualdades en la sociedad rusa, de los peligros de la pobreza, el hambre y la explotación, el fracaso de las creencias religiosas, la falta de sentimiento humano, la prevalencia del vicio, una carencia de valores éticos y el desmoronamiento de las normas de la sociedad. A su alrededor ve gente normal, pero a sus ojos, gente indigna: obreros, vagos, borrachos, prostitutas, mujeriegos, empresarios sin escrúpulos, policías corruptos, funcionarios engreídos, mentirosos, pecadores, tramposos y víctimas. No ve nada ni a nadie admirable. Le atormenta la idea del hombre superior, y anhela convertirse él mismo en uno de los que poseen la voluntad de poder, ejemplificado por la figura de Napoleón Bonaparte. A su parecer él mismo debería pertenecer a aquellos que son dignos y que pueden considerarse por encima de las leyes que gobiernan a las personas normales e inferiores. Su fe en Dios y en la religión ha menguado y en un estado febril, agravado por el hambre, se propone asesinar a una anciana, una prestamista al que desprecia y, al hacerlo, aspira a convertirse en esta versión superior idealizada de sí mismo. Pero en vez de liberarlo, el acto de matar lo atrapa. El viaje psicológico que emprende está impulsado por el nihilismo y alimentado por ideas de revolución que amenazan con llevarlo a la locura. La novela, originalmente concebida como una serie de historias que se publicarían mensualmente, es anterior al trabajo de Freud y otros psicólogos y psicoanalistas, pero su viaje hacia el autodescubrimiento tiene mucho en común con los métodos y relatos freudianos. Su carácter y personalidad se revelan en parte a través de recuerdos detallados de pesadillas y de eventos vividos en la infancia. Una pesadilla en la cual un viejo caballo es golpeado hasta morir por su dueño, incitado por una turba ebria y burlona, es tan brutal y de tal violencia que le repugna y lo rechaza, pero presagia el terrible acto que él mismo lleva a cabo cuando asesina a la vieja usurera Aliona Ivánovna y a su hermana Isabel con un hacha. ¿Por qué las mata? La respuesta simple parece ser por dinero: busca robarles para escapar de la trampa de la deuda en la que se encuentra.

Title: Oblomov Author: Ivan Goncharov Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 8, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Oblomov is one of the most distinctive characters in Russian literature - within a short time following its publication in 1859, the novel spawned its own saying: ‘Oblomovism'! From the pen of Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891) emerged a portrait of a young man, Ilya Ilyitch Oblomov, who represented a figure well known in prerevolutionary Russia at the time - one of the idle rich. A member of the landed gentry, with a seemingly guaranteed income from his estate in the country, Oblomov lives in Petersburg, uninterested in the business that provides his living and barely aware that the revenue is diminishing. Not that he leads a dissolute life of extravagance, balls and entertainment. Instead he is a dreamer, a sybarite, content above all to spend most of the day supine, in bed. The novel opens with Oblomov thus ensconced, attended only by his dirty, grumbling, indolent servant Zahar, who has looked after him since childhood, catering to his every need. From time to time, Oblomov is visited by friends, some of whom see him only as a bottomless financial source, though others, like the energetic Andrey Stolz, try genuinely to encourage him to shake off the spell of lassitude. There is a sudden period of success as the young and attractive Olga enters the story, drawing Oblomov from his cocoon, but will it last? This is Goncharov's masterpiece - skilled and imaginative literature; and it puts him unquestionably beside the major figures of Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and Turgenev, even if it is really the one work by which he is remembered. Natalie Doddington's unabridged translation, used here, was the first in English and is fluent and nuanced, reflecting the gem of the original and remains highly respected. This sympathetic and characterful reading by Leighton Pugh is the first unabridged recording in English.

Title: Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship Author: Johann Wolfgang Goethe Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 58 minutes Release date: May 5, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship - Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre was the original German title - was Goethe's second novel, published 1795-6, almost two decades after The Sorrows of Young Werther. It again focuses on a young man but this time on his growing understanding and maturity as he makes his way in the world. As such, it is regarded as the founding work in the ‘coming of age' genre: the ‘bildungsroman' ( a term actually coined some 30 years later), which characterised a philosophical novel tracing the cultural, emotional and educational development of an individual from youth to adulthood. Disdaining to follow his father's advice to pursue a bourgeois life in business and disappointed in love, Wilhelm Meister searches for a more fulfilling path - and is initially drawn to the arts. He becomes involved in a theatre troupe, the works of Shakespeare and specifically Hamlet beckon. But his artistic life is interrupted when mundane brutality in the form of an attack by bandits intrudes. Wilhelm, despite being wounded, survives the encounter, which leads him to another level of understanding, and his personal journey to maturity continues. The novel was hugely influential throughout the 19th century and beyond and remains a key work in classic European literature. Thomas Carlyle's admired but slightly archaic translation has been lightly revised for this recording which features a sensitive reading by Leighton Pugh.

Title: The Good Soldier Svejk Author: Jaroslav Hasek Narrator: David Horovitch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 28 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 1, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Good Soldier Švejk, written shortly after the First World War, is one of the great antiwar satires - and one of the funniest books of the 20th (or any) century. In creating his eponymous hero, Jaroslav Hašek produced an unforgettable character who charms and infuriates and bamboozles his way through the conflagration that tore through the heart of Europe, upending empires and changing social history. It is the closing period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The assassination at Sarajevo has just occurred, and armies are on the march. Švejk, a seller of dogs of dubious provenance, ends up in gaol (the first of a number of such occasions) and then in a Czech battalion in the Austrian army. He becomes batman to a chaplain (who likes the bottle) and batman to Lieutenant Lukas, who is swiftly driven to despair; he causes havoc wherever he goes (inexplicably ending up being sentenced to death while wearing a Russian uniform), yet never losing an opportunity tell a story, an anecdote, a history, present an explanation: “Humbly to report, sir...” And the war rumbles on, with hints of the hideousness and slaughter emerging, sometimes all the more vivid because they appear almost between the lines. Jaroslav Hašek, was, like his subject, often on the sidelines of society - an anarchist, a communist, a vagrant, a humourist and writer; women and the bottle and sleight of hand all played parts in his life, and he died at the early age of 39 in penury and obscurity. His masterwork was left unfinished - appropriately, in a curious way, because of its episodic and wayward nature. Not that it matters! In this masterly and very funny reading, David Horovitch brings Švejk and his companions and compatriots to life, balancing subtle satire with out and out slapstick as we encounter Czechs, Hungarians, Russians, Italians and more from this potpourri of people and events. The Good Soldier Švejk is presented in the outstanding translation by Cecil Parrott. And the book closes with Parrott's own absorbing account of Hašek's life and writings, and the background to Švejk. It is read by Martyn Swain. It is called ‘Introduction', and Hašek (and Švejk) would have approved of the fact that it comes at the end!

Jaroslav Hašek, was, like his subject, often on the sidelines of society - an anarchist, a communist, a vagrant, a humourist and writer; women and the bottle and sleight of hand all played parts in his life, and he died at the early age of 39 in penury and obscurity. His masterwork was left unfinished - appropriately, in a curious way, because of its episodic and wayward nature. Not that it matters! In this masterly and very funny reading, David Horovitch brings Švejk and his companions and compatriots to life, balancing subtle satire with out and out slapstick as we encounter Czechs, Hungarians, Russians, Italians and more from this potpourri of people and events. The Good Soldier Švejk is presented in the outstanding translation by Cecil Parrott. And the book closes with Parrott's own absorbing account of Hašek's life and writings, and the background to Švejk. It is read by Martyn Swain. It is called ‘Introduction', and Hašek (and Švejk) would have approved of the fact that it comes at the end! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731395 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731395]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Man Without Qualities Author: Robert Musil Narrator: John Telfer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 60 hours 30 minutes Release date: April 8, 2022 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In 1913, the Viennese aristocracy is gathering to celebrate the 17th jubilee of the accession of Emperor Franz Josef, even as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is collapsing and the rest of Vienna is showing signs of rebellion. At the centre of this social labyrinth is Ulrich: a veteran, a seducer and a scientist, yet also a man 'without qualities' and therefore a brilliant and detached observer of his changing world. A classic of the 20th century, Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften) is endlessly thought-provoking, insightful and stimulating. Part satire, part visionary epic, part intellectual tour de force, it is a work of immeasurable importance. In fact, The Man Without Qualities is one of the peaks of European modernist literature, along with Joyce's Ulysses and Proust's In Search of Lost Time, though with its own distinct character. First and foremost, it is a novel where the ‘plot' largely provides the riverbank down which the river can flow—fortunate with a work that, despite its considerable length, is unfinished! This may explain why it is less known, less read and less championed than its more famous peers, but those who do take the trouble to dive in are astonished. For a start, though often dense in content, it is generally accessible and often a delight to read—furthermore, it is both engrossing and fun. It is not surprising that Musil (1880-1942) was contemporaneous with Freud, whose psychoanalytic ideas emerge in various ways throughout the novel. So do the shades of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and others who provide a philosophical backdrop—this is a great novel of ideas. There are curiosities also, such as the sex-murderer Moosbrugger, who casts a dark but fascinating shadow over Ulrich's society. And there is a variety of women with whom Ulrich interacts. There are girlfriends of passing involvement, such as Leona and Bonadea; there is Clarisse, wife of a close friend, and Diotima, seemingly a pillar of Viennese society. And his sister Agathe. They all act as challenging foils in any number of ways to tempt and undermine Ulrich's sense of who he is. Musil began writing The Man Without Qualities in 1921 and was still writing and revising it at his death (in Switzerland) in 1942. It is divided into three parts, which were published by 1933 though an English translation of all three parts did not appear until 1961. This recording features the latest (and exemplary) translation by Sophie Wilkins. In addition, it contains 20 chapters, prolonging part III, which were discovered in the mass of papers decades after Musil's death. He intended to include them, but ultimately held them back for minor revisions. This remarkable book, available for the first time on audio, is superbly read by John Telfer, who reflects the ‘decaying fin de siècle' world as the Austro-Hungarian empire, and the old order, slides into oblivion.

Title: Sartor Resartus Author: Thomas Carlyle Narrator: James Gillies Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 40 minutes Release date: February 18, 2022 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Sartor Resartus is one of the most unusual, even quirky, British novels to emerge from the first half of the 19th century. Published in 1836, its varied heritage reflects the earlier eccentricities of Sterne and Swift, curiously mixed with influences from Goethe. Its subject matter is strange: it concerns a book called Clothes: Their Origin and Influence by one Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, a German philosopher. And though Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) became a household name in his lifetime, especially for his essays, and his work as an historian and philosopher, his comic novel Sartor Resartus would prove to have a lasting effect on contemporary writers. American figures in particular - Emerson, Dickinson, Melville and Twain among them - acknowledged its influence. In addition, Jorge Luis Borges was among the 20th-century writers to salute the work, which he encountered aged 17. Borges reflects: 'I read Sartor Resartus, and I can recall many of its pages; I know them by heart.' Sartor Resartus (which means 'The Tailor Re-tailored') chronicles the struggles of an unnamed editor attempting to produce an English-language edition of a publication, which, according to the man who has sent it to him, is 'a work of philosophy which has taken all Europe by storm'. This is the book on clothes by Teufelsdröckh, with whom the editor was briefly acquainted on his travels. However, the more vigorously the editor sets himself to his task, the more thankless and perhaps impossible it proves. In frustration, he shares fragments of the translated work with his readers, in the search for some collective insight. When a biography of the author arrives, promising to bring some context to the work, the editor finds himself even further at a loss. His trust in Teufelsdröckh begins to unravel, and he becomes suspicious that nothing about this book, not even its author, is as it appears to be. Is it a work of genius? A palimpsest with a secret hidden in its depths? Or is the editor in receipt of something completely different and wholly unexpected? Sartor Resartus may now largely exist in the shadows of On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, and his account of the French Revolution, but this early novel represents an interesting phase in Carlyle's literary output.

Title: Between the Acts Author: Virginia Woolf Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 42 minutes Release date: March 10, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf's last novel, was finished in November 1940 and shortly afterwards delivered to her publisher Hogarth Press. The following March she committed suicide. Between the Acts is often an overlooked work in her oeuvre because she did express her intention to revise it before publication, though in the event this never happened. So it comes as a surprise to find that, while it probably would have benefited from revision, it is something of an unpolished gem, at times sparkling and actually very engaging. The writing is subtle, varied in tone and purpose; at times serious and complex and at others lighthearted and even downright funny. And unpredictable. The scene is an English country house, the home of the Olivers, presided over by the elderly Bartholomew – Bart. The date is 1939, the time of the ‘phoney war', and the village comes to the house and gardens for the annual play put on by the locals. There are complex relationships within the family, and with the local villagers: in true Woolf style, small dramas take place, understated but quietly seismic. And the work is shot through with the phrase, the observation, the sleight of hand, the touch that is her special magic. With Bart is his sister, the sweetly vague Lucy Swithin, his son, Giles (who works in the city) and Giles' unsettled, unsure wife, Isa. Taking centre-stage in the story are the amateur theatricals, who undertake to perform three short scenes devised and directed by the eccentric Miss Le Trobe. These three separate scenes, one Shakespearean, one Restoration (a romp this!) and one Victorian, hold the mirror up to society. But what to make of them? The threatened rain holds off so the performances are staged outside in the garden, but the clouds of war are perceptible. Georgina Sutton's range and sympathy makes listening to this neglected work a surprisingly engaging, very English experience.

Title: The Pillow Book Author: Sei Shonagon Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: March 19, 2022 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon is a fascinating, detailed account of Japanese court life in the closing years of the 10th century. Written by a lady of the court at the height of Heian culture, this book enthrals with its lively gossip, witty observations and subtle impressions. Lady Shonagon was an erstwhile rival of Lady Murasaki, whose novel, The Tale of Genji, fictionalized the elite world Lady Shonagon so eloquently relates. Featuring reflections on royal and religious ceremonies, nature, conversation, poetry and many other subjects, The Pillow Book is an intimate look at the experiences and outlook of the Heian upper class. Sei Shonagon, born around 965, was lady-in-waiting to Empress Sadako and between the early 990s and 1002, she kept these ‘personal notes', recording what she saw and encountered with wit, accuracy and intelligence. There is immense variety here. There are more than 320 entries, each with its own heading: ‘Birds', Trees', ‘When His Excellency The Chancellor Had Departed', ‘Unreliable Things'.... Some entries are very brief, no more than ‘asides', and there are even concise lists. Some reflect the sensitive Japanese response to nature or patterned silk, and there are longer narratives of incidents involving prominent political figures. Her singular humour is often to the fore: ‘Masahiro really is a laughing stock. I wonder what it is like for his parents and friends.' But there are also entries which reflect a considerate nature as shown in ‘One of Her Majesty's Wet-Nurses'. While Arthur Waley's classic translation remains well-known it was abridged, and this Ukemi recording presents the translation by Ivan Morris, the first unabridged English version. It is fluent and lively, and reflects the sparkling character of Sei Shonagon's writing which, in the 21st century, belies its ancient origins and its academic standing as one of the great works of Japanese literature. This is perfectly captured by in Georgina Sutton's reading.

Her singular humour is often to the fore: ‘Masahiro really is a laughing stock. I wonder what it is like for his parents and friends.' But there are also entries which reflect a considerate nature as shown in ‘One of Her Majesty's Wet-Nurses'. While Arthur Waley's classic translation remains well-known it was abridged, and this Ukemi recording presents the translation by Ivan Morris, the first unabridged English version. It is fluent and lively, and reflects the sparkling character of Sei Shonagon's writing which, in the 21st century, belies its ancient origins and its academic standing as one of the great works of Japanese literature. This is perfectly captured by in Georgina Sutton's reading. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731109]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Pillow Book Author: Sei Shonagon Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: March 19, 2022 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon is a fascinating, detailed account of Japanese court life in the closing years of the 10th century. Written by a lady of the court at the height of Heian culture, this book enthrals with its lively gossip, witty observations and subtle impressions. Lady Shonagon was an erstwhile rival of Lady Murasaki, whose novel, The Tale of Genji, fictionalized the elite world Lady Shonagon so eloquently relates. Featuring reflections on royal and religious ceremonies, nature, conversation, poetry and many other subjects, The Pillow Book is an intimate look at the experiences and outlook of the Heian upper class. Sei Shonagon, born around 965, was lady-in-waiting to Empress Sadako and between the early 990s and 1002, she kept these ‘personal notes', recording what she saw and encountered with wit, accuracy and intelligence. There is immense variety here. There are more than 320 entries, each with its own heading: ‘Birds', Trees', ‘When His Excellency The Chancellor Had Departed', ‘Unreliable Things'.... Some entries are very brief, no more than ‘asides', and there are even concise lists. Some reflect the sensitive Japanese response to nature or patterned silk, and there are longer narratives of incidents involving prominent political figures. Her singular humour is often to the fore: ‘Masahiro really is a laughing stock. I wonder what it is like for his parents and friends.'

Title: Daphnis and Chloe Author: Longus Narrator: Nicholas Boulton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 47 minutes Release date: May 3, 2018 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Daphnis and Chloe is one of the most engaging and gently erotic stories to emerge from the ancient worlds of Greece and Rome. It is a pastoral tale, telling of a boy and a girl, both abandoned (but separately) as babies on nearby hillsides; one becomes a goatherd, the other a shepherdess, and a mutual attraction arises as they move from childhood to adolescence and to the slow discovery of desire. Will aggressive forces and rival suitors prevent a natural consummation and happy conclusion? Daphnis and Chloe is a gem from the pen of the otherwise unknown second-century CE Greek writer Longus. It is the only work of his to survive, and little is known of him. Though perhaps overshadowed by the Roman magnificence of Ovid's Metamorphoses (dating from a century earlier), Longus' story entranced the choreographer Michel Fokine, who persuaded the French composer Maurice Ravel to write music for a ballet on the love story as part of the Ballets Russes' season in Paris in 1912. Ravel, inspired, produced one of the most ravishing scores of the Impressionist period. Despite that, Longus' original text seems to have slipped into obscurity. Here, at last, is the world premiere audiobook recording presented with sensitivity and charm by Nicholas Boulton. The Athenian Society translation.

Title: Perceval: The Story of the Grail Author: Chrétien De Troyes Narrator: Mike Rogers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 40 minutes Release date: August 7, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval is the single most important Arthurian romance. It contains the very first mention of the mysterious grail, later to become the Holy Grail and the focal point of the spiritual quest of the knights of Arthur's court. Chrétien left the poem unfinished, but the extraordinary and intriguing theme of the Grail was too good to leave, and other poets continued and eventually completed it. This is the only English translation to include selections from the three continuations and from the work of Gerbert de Montreuil, making the romance a coherent whole, and following through Chrétien's essential theme of the making of a knight, in both worldly and spiritual terms. It is not hard to see why Chrétien's unfinished story of the Grail proved such a compelling story, for its fundamental theme could hardly have been bolder, clearer or move movingly simple - or more important to its medieval audience. It is about the making of a knight in the most complete sense. It is not by chance that the story begins with a boy who had been brought up in a remote forest with no knowledge whatever of the world of knighthood and with only the haziest understanding of matters religious - he does not even know what a church is, let alone a knight's hauberk, shield or lance. Chrétien's plan is so forthright and sweeping that he sets out to depict a knight's development from a point of total innocence and ignorance. The importance of the spiritual alongside the martial in the development of a knight, symbolised so powerfully by the Broken Sword, is a constantly recurring theme. Gerbert de Montreuil, whose poem is by far the most inspired and methodical continuation of Chrétien's themes, shows by his handling of the broken sword motif that he was acutely aware of how much remained to be done before Perceval was fully worthy to know the secrets of the grail and the lance. Nigel Bryant's fluent and engaging translation, with his useful opening introduction to the subject and texts, makes this an absorbing account of the essential Arthurian romance, the origin of the Grail legend. Read with warmth and engagement by Mike Rogers.

Title: The Provincial Lady in America: The Provincial Lady, Book 3 Author: E. M. Delafield Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 55 minutes Release date: August 25, 2018 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: No one could have been more surprised than our Provincial Lady to receive an invitation from her American agent to travel transatlantic and embark upon a programme of lectures and signings. She was particularly amazed because, having received an overture sometime before and feeling that she would rather stay in the English countryside, she requested that they meet quite a few ‘requirements' before she would agree to go. They met every stipulation. ‘Am completely thrown on my beam-ends by this. Can I possibly be worth this?' And so off she goes. And, courtesy of her diary, we have an entertaining account of her shipboard life, her arrival and immediate encounters with enthusiasm - which sometimes stretches her credulity, and English patience. It is all go, window-shopping on Fifth Avenue, cocktails, meetings with a wide range of writers, society ladies, and even an old acquaintance. And then there are the book shop signings, the lectures to the good, the great - and the lesser great. It is a whirlwind. How does our Provincial Lady respond to all this after the slower pace (really? What about the domestic dramas?) in her country home? Georgina Sutton once again represents her with vigour, humour and a lively personality. This is book 3 in the Provincial Lady series. E. M.

Title: The Sorrows of Young Werther Author: Johann Wolfgang Goethe Narrator: Leighton Pugh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 31 minutes Release date: July 28, 2016 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Werther, a sensitive young artist, finds himself in Wahlheim, a quiet, attractive village in Germany where he seeks solace from the turmoils of love. It is a young spring, and he hopes that arcadian solitude will prove a genial balm to his mind. But his romantic tendency rules otherwise, and he falls in love with Charlotte - Lotte - even though he knows she is affianced to another. In a series of letters to his friend, Wilhelm, he charts the course of his love, which rises to passion and obsession and, ultimately, tragedy. The Sorrows of Young Werther is the iconic love story which helped to usher in the Romantic age. Partially autobiographical, von Goethe, aged just 24, wrote it in just six weeks, and when it appeared in 1774 it immediately established his reputation. Told through the protagonist's eyes, it is the gradual rise of Werther's strong feelings checked by attempts at restraint and complicated by a friendship with Lotte's husband that keeps the listener on edge - especially when read with sympathy, as here, by Leighton Pugh. Translated by R. D. Boylan; revised by Leighton Pugh.

Title: The Diary of a Provincial Lady: The Provincial Lady, Book 1 Author: E. M. Delafield Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 5, 2016 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'Lady B. stays to tea. (Mem.: Bread-and-butter too thick. Speak to Ethel.) We talk some more about bulbs, the Dutch School of Painting, our Vicar's wife, sciatica, and All Quiet on the Western Front. (Query: is it possible to cultivate the art of conversation when living in the country all the year round?)' If the question suggests a qualified answer, there is no doubt that the art of diary writing is alive and well and very, very funny in Devonshire in the 1920s. At least in the hands of E. M. Delafield. Though poles apart in many ways, Bridget Jones's Diary could not have existed without her sometimes arch, often lofty, but deeply English upper middle class forbear. Diary of a Provincial Lady is a classic of its time, revealing the thoughts and concerns of a Lady embedded in family life and the mores of comfortable country life. She has a husband 'raised to the peerage', two children and servants; she is burdened by the superior Lady Boxe, the tiresome vicar's wife and the constant temptation to live beyond her monthly household allowance. But she soldiers on, recording her days with acute observation, wit, self-deprecation and colour. A balance to the Bloomsbury intensity of the day, this is a classic that has never been out of print and now comes to life in this pitch-perfect reading by Georgina Sutton. E. M.

Title: The Provincial Lady Goes Further: The Provincial Lady, Book 2 Author: E. M. Delafield Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: June 14, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Provincial Lady Goes Further is the immediate sequel to Diary of a Provincial Lady - and life mirrors art. Our Provincial Lady has found herself, unexpectedly, with a literary success on her hands! She is suddenly 'somebody', both in her Devonshire environs and in London, where she establishes a bolthole - ostensibly so she could concentrate on the much-awaited sequel, but also so that she can enjoy the fruits of being a best-selling author! In real life, this sequel was the first of many to come, as E. M. Delafield worked imaginatively to satisfy the public demand for antidotes to modernism - especially the hauteur of the Bloomsbury Set. In art, The Provincial Lady Goes Further, using the same diary format, proves to be just as amusing (if not more so) as its predecessor, and full of pointed observations about her targets - in this case fashionable London of the 1930s (it was published in 1932). Reader Georgina Sutton again delights in the tones of an upper-class lady, who, up from the country and immersed semi-willingly in artistic and fashionable environs, can't quite equate the posing, the outrageous dresses and equally outrageous behaviour with her eminently well-grounded sense of humour.

Reader Georgina Sutton again delights in the tones of an upper-class lady, who, up from the country and immersed semi-willingly in artistic and fashionable environs, can't quite equate the posing, the outrageous dresses and equally outrageous behaviour with her eminently well-grounded sense of humour.

Delafield Narrator: Georgina Sutton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: June 14, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Provincial Lady Goes Further is the immediate sequel to Diary of a Provincial Lady - and life mirrors art. Our Provincial Lady has found herself, unexpectedly, with a literary success on her hands! She is suddenly 'somebody', both in her Devonshire environs and in London, where she establishes a bolthole - ostensibly so she could concentrate on the much-awaited sequel, but also so that she can enjoy the fruits of being a best-selling author! In real life, this sequel was the first of many to come, as E. M. Delafield worked imaginatively to satisfy the public demand for antidotes to modernism - especially the hauteur of the Bloomsbury Set. In art, The Provincial Lady Goes Further, using the same diary format, proves to be just as amusing (if not more so) as its predecessor, and full of pointed observations about her targets - in this case fashionable London of the 1930s (it was published in 1932). Reader Georgina Sutton again delights in the tones of an upper-class lady, who, up from the country and immersed semi-willingly in artistic and fashionable environs, can't quite equate the posing, the outrageous dresses and equally outrageous behaviour with her eminently well-grounded sense of humour. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730980 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730980]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Jason and the Golden Fleece: The Argonautica Author: Apollonius Rhodius Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: June 27, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Jason and the Golden Fleece is one of the finest tales of Ancient Greece, an epic journey of adventure and trial standing beside similar stories of Perseus, Theseus and the Labours of Heracles. The finest classic account comes from Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek poet of the 3rd century BCE and librarian at Alexandria. Though less well-known than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and much shorter, it is an epic poem which is both exciting and moving, with remarkably vivid portraits of the main characters, Jason and Medea. In the hands of Apollonius, these are far from one-dimensional figures of ancient myth. Jason is a very human hero, forced to undertake the quest by a vengeful ruler, and though he leads a ship full of heroes - Heracles, Peleus, Caster and Polydeuces among them - he has moments of doubt and prevarication which he has to overcome in order to ultimately grasp the Golden Fleece. And Medea, a virgin witch possessing consummate skill with spells and an ability to be cruel, is shown here with some sympathy, for she is under the sway of the immortals Hera and Athena. Succumbing to their machinations and Eros's arrow, she finds herself on a dangerous path, flouting the will of her powerful father Aeetes, King of the Colchians, to help the Argonauts. And then there is the ship itself, Argo, wrought with the help of Athena to survive the challenges of a distant voyage past Scylla and Charybdis into the Black Sea. Apollonius weaves plot and poetry, courage and boldness, tenderness and sympathy, to fashion one of the greatest monuments of Western literature. R. C. Seaton's classic translation has been considerably revised for this recording by Nicolas Soames, and it is read with verve by Jonathan Keeble.

Title: The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge Author: Rainer Maria Rilke Narrator: Jamie Parker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: December 5, 2020 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: This remarkable book is the only novel by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), the greatest German-language poet of his time. It is, in a sense, a true curiosity - dark and intense - and possesses, not surprisingly, strong elements of autobiography. The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge) has even been described as an anti-novel. It is set in Paris in the period just before the First World War, but it presents a bleaker milieu than that described by Proust. The language is terse, the atmosphere painful, the images uncompromising. Rilke drew on the short period he spent in Paris in 1903 where, in contrast to the rural circumstances in which he had lived before, he found the underbelly of urban life distressing. He saw the sick, the vagrants, the beggars and those descending into mental and emotional confusion and despair. And he worried that he, too, might become like them. This is the theme he explores in The Notebooks in a first-person torrent of observation and reflection. Malte, a young Dane with little money but with the aspiration to be a poet, expresses a continuing uncertainty and unease, in the form of a diary, without obvious timeline or direction, except for its increasing intensity. Published in 1910, The Notebooks is a striking contrast to the crafted, polished poetry for which Rilke was better known. It has affected and been admired by many writers since, including Jean-Paul Sartre. Jamie Parker's reading underpins the fear and the tension of the work. Translation William Needham.

Title: The Satyricon Author: Petronius Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 55 minutes Release date: July 6, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Libidinous, licentious, salacious and very, very funny, The Satyricon is one of the most remarkable documents from ancient Rome. It tells the ribald story of Encolpius, a man of active and varied appetites (powered notably by his passion for his favourite lover, the handsome Giton), who plunges without inhibition into the life of Roman pleasures: orgies of food, feasting, abundant sex and escapades. The kind of hedonism found occasionally in Roman mosaics is here brought to life. In the feast at the house of Trimalchio we have an extraordinary account of a Roman banquet where dish after dish - each more extravagant than the last - is presented to the diners, who lie on their couches for course after course. And after all that they still find the energy to indulge in intense pleasures of a different kind. Again and again. There are historical questions around the author - Petronius (c27-66 CE), who lived during the time of Emperor Nero - and the text, which was originally much longer than the sections that have survived. This is of interest to academics but need not deter the enjoyment of the delightfully personal tale that has come down to us. Among the characters Encolpius encounters is Eumolpus, a poet philosopher whose extravagant (and loud) journeys into epic poetry attract the Roman equivalent of rotten tomatoes. Very, very funny. It must be said, however, that this is literature, aiming high. It presents an engaging picture of Roman low life: 'women hot after gladiators or dusty muleteers', old men casting glances (and more) at shapely youths, and an elaborate ceremony to Priapus in an attempt to restore lost vigour. But it does so with style and elegance, full of classical references to poetry, history and philosophy though often with dry, humorous asides. Not for the faint-hearted, The Satyricon is a delight from beginning to end, and especially in this hugely entertaining reading by Nicholas Boulton, which opens with a fascinating introduction to the work and its provenance.

Title: Le Grand Meaulnes [The Wanderer] Author: Henri Alain-Fournier Narrator: John Hollingworth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: August 29, 2016 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Le Grand Meaulnes is one of the great classics of French literature, a mysterious, even impressionistic tale of adolescence in the French countryside in the dying years of the 19th century. A teenager, Agustin Meaulnes, arrives in a country school, and his strong personality immediately affects its rural atmosphere, especially in the eyes of his younger school companion, the 15 year old François. He is dubbed 'le grand Meaulnes', and he lives up to his reputation by going missing for a few days. He says little about his adventure on his return. But François eventually discovers that Meaulnes stumbled upon a strange party held at an unknown chateau, and became enmeshed in the lives of the beautiful young Yvonne de Galais and her brother Frantz. Love, confusion, the urgency of young passion propels these three along unpredictable paths, observed anxiously by François, who desperately wants to help solve and resolve the mysteries. But Meaulnes and Frantz are driven by their own emotions along a trajectory which is anything but simple and straight. Le Grand Meaulnes, regarded by John Fowles as 'the greatest novel of adolescence in European literature' has cast a remarkable spell on successive many generations. In turn elliptical, impressionist, hopeful, haunting, Le Grand Meaulnes made an immediate impression on the French public when it was first published in 1913 (a year before its author died in the First World War) and swiftly gained a permanent place in European literature. The translation by Françoise Delisle has been revised for this recording.

Title: Against Nature Author: Joris-Karl Huysmans Narrator: Nicholas Boulton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 8, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Against Nature was one of the most shocking French novels of the 19th century. When it was published in 1884, it thrilled the aesthetes, the poets, and the intellectuals of Europe on both sides of the Channel (notably Oscar Wilde) because for all its lofty tone, it had, as its core, an unbridled decadence, and it was this same character that challenged, even horrified, established bourgeois society. Des Esseintes, a minor aristocrat but a high intellectual - deeply cultured and well-read - can no longer bear contemporary Parisian life in any of its forms! As a youth he had experienced the monastic environment and later academic life, but, remaining unfulfilled, he immersed himself in the multifarious sensual pleasures so readily available in Paris. Still deeply unsatisfied, he decides to move to a house in a village in the countryside. Here he can create his own controlled environment with a minutely designed interior supporting his particular artistic tastes. At last he can live alone with his books, his reflections, and his needs. Nothing will interfere with how he wants to live, what he wants to see, to read, to study, to smell, to eat. However, a life of such total personal indulgence, even on a lofty intellectual and artistically sensitive plane, proves anything but easy - or satisfying. The character of Des Esseintes, intense, testing, infuriating, but astonishing, was said to have been influenced by the famous aesthete of the time, the Comte de Montesquiou (also a model for Baron de Charlus in Proust's In Search of Lost Time), while Against Nature makes an unmistakeable appearance in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Nicholas Boulton here reads one of the best early translations (published anonymously and originally titled Against the Grain), which has been revised to reinstate sections originally cut to protect sensibilities of the time. It is the full novel as Huysmans intended.

It is the full novel as Huysmans intended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730955 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/730955]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Golden Ass or Metamorphoses Author: Apuleius Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: April 20, 2016 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: This tale of a man who, when tinkering with magic, becomes changed into an ass is one of the most entertaining and remarkable stories from classic Latin literature. It is funny, bawdy and completely approachable - but also shows life from the point of view of a beast of burden in the Roman Empire of the second century CE. Lucius is an active young man enjoying life - and the favours of an attentive maid, one Fotis - when the temptation to experiment with a magic potion proves too great. Life is very different as a four-footed animal, and he goes from one drama to another, in danger of his life at one point, facing seduction at another. Within this account of these adventures, Apuleius (c124-c170 CE) places ribald stories which are more familiar through retellings by Boccaccio and Chaucer. But there are also passages of considerable literary beauty, particularly in the extended account of Cupid and Psyche. The Golden Ass, in this lively performance by Jonathan Keeble, is a delight from start to finish. Translation: Bohn (1853), revised for this production.

Title: The Mabinogion Author: Charlotte Guest Narrator: Richard Mitchley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: February 7, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Mabinogion, the earliest literary jewel of Wales, is a collection of ancient tales and legends compiled around the 12th and 13th century deriving from storytelling and the songs of bards handed down over the ages. It is a remarkable document in many ways. From an historical perspective, it is the earliest prose literature of Britain. But it is in its drama that many surprises await, not least the central role of King Arthur, his wife, Gwenhwyvar, and his court at Caerlleon upon Usk. There are tales of jousting, of quests, of damsels in distress, of abandoned wives, of monsters and dragons, of loyalty, deception and honour. Heroes and villains abound; there is courage and suffering in abundance. This is why The Mabinogion has a rightfully important position within the early literature of Europe. There are 12 stories of varying lengths in the collection. Some, such as 'The Lady of the Fountain' and 'Geraint, the Son of Erbin', are centred on the Arthurian legend, and they display all the chivalric elements we expect from greater familiarity with later texts such as Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. However, here, in The Mabinogion, we inhabit an earthier world, before the Round Table and the Grail Legend, though hints of these exist. Emotions, intentions and actions are real and direct! Nevertheless, The Mabinogion was drawn from a variety of sources, and there are tales of very different character, such as 'The Dream of Maxen Wledig', which harks back to the period of the Roman Empire, and 'The Story of Llud and Llevelys', which involves the Island of Britain and the Kingdom of France. This recording presents the classic, groundbreaking translation by Charlotte Guest. It brought The Mabinogion to a wider audience for the first time, and we can enjoy the grandeur of her literary style - one that particularly suits the audiobook medium. This is especially so in this skillful performance by Richard Mitchley. Welsh was his first language, though he has for decades divided his time between English and Welsh audiobooks and radio plays; furthermore, he guides walking holidays in Wales and is thus personally familiar with areas mentioned in The Mabinogion.

Title: Beware of Pity Author: Stefan Zweig Narrator: Nicholas Boulton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 23 minutes Release date: May 10, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a young cavalry officer is invited to a dance at the home of a rich landowner. There - with a small act of attempted charity - he commits a simple faux pas. But from this seemingly insignificant blunder comes a tale of catastrophe arising from kindness and of honour poisoned by self-regard. Beware of Pity has all the intensity and the formidable sense of torment and of character of the very best of Zweig's work. Definitive translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell.

Title: Four Arthurian Romances Author: Chrétien De Troyes Narrator: Nicholas Boulton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 49 minutes Release date: September 11, 2017 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes form the wellspring of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Stories of knightly valour in the Welsh Marches had existed before the 12th century, but it was the magnificent poetry and imagination of Chrétien, the 12th century French poet and trouvère, which brought alive the great characters of Arthur, his wife Guinevere, Lancelot and others. In fact, it was here, in these romances, that the tale of Lancelot of the Lake and his fated love for Guinevere first made its appearance in European literature. And far from being trapped in formal medieval stanzas, their passion has come down to us in words that still resonate: 'From the moment he caught sight of her, he did not turn or take his eyes and face from her.' From these four romances emerge a chivalric Arthurian vision as vivid and human as the more familiar telling by Sir Thomas Malory three centuries later. The three other stories are equally rich and compelling, painting images of knightly ethics, courageous deeds and above all love, honour and service. Chrétien's telling is the outstanding Arthurian literary source, bringing together as it does the British plot, the characters and the adventures with a French courtly sensitivity. Though less known than Lancelot and Guinevere, the story of the trials leading to the love between Eric and Enide is just as memorable; in Cligès, the young hero travels between Greece and Arthur's court in order to win his spurs and his love; and in Yvain, the knight is helped by a faithful lion to achieve his aim. These Four Arthurian Romances are read with full commitment by Nicholas Boulton using the translation by W. W. Comfort.

Title: The Comedy of Errors Series: #5 of Shakespearean Comedy Author: William Shakespeare Narrator: Susan Bones, Zacharias Prewett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 39 minutes Release date: November 1, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare's earliest and shortest plays. This comedy utilizes slapstick humor, word play, and mistaken identities to create a series of farcical accidents. Over time, the play's title has become an idiom used to describe 'an event or series of events made ridiculous by the number of errors that were made throughout.' In Ephesus, the law forbids entry to any merchants from Syracuse, and if they are discovered within the city, they must pay a thousand marks or be put to death. Aegeon, an old Syracusian merchant, is arrested and Solinus, the Duke of Ephesus, listens to his story of coming to the city. Long ago, Aegeon was on a sea voyage. Traveling with him was his wife, his twin sons, and their twin slaves. The family becomes separated during a tempest; Aegeon, one son, and one slave were rescued together, and the others were never to be seen again. Years later his son Antipholus and his slave Dromio left to search for their long lost siblings; after the boys didn't return, Aegeon set out to bring his son back home. Moved by this story, the duke allows Aegeon one day to get the money to pay his fine and to find his family.

Title: Orlando Author: Virginia Woolf Narrator: Cori Samuel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 39 minutes Release date: January 1, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Orlando: A Biography is a novel by Virginia Woolf, first published on 11 October 1928. Inspired by the tumultuous family history of the aristocratic poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West, Woolf's lover and close friend, it is arguably one of her most popular novels; Orlando is a history of English literature in satiric form. The book describes the adventures of a poet who changes sex from man to woman and lives for centuries, meeting the key figures of English literary history. Considered a feminist classic, the book has been written about extensively by scholars of women's writing and gender and transgender studies. The novel has been adapted a number of times. 1981, Ulrike Ottinger adapted it for her film Freak Orlando, with Magdalena Montezuma in the title role. In 1989, director Robert Wilson and writer Darryl Pinckney collaborated on a single-actor theatrical production. This had its British premiere at the Edinburgh Festival in 1996, with Miranda Richardson playing the title role; Isabelle Huppert performed in the version in French, which opened at the Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 1993. A film adaptation by Sally Potter, simply titled Orlando, was released in 1992, starring Tilda Swinton in the title role. A stage adaption by Sarah Ruhl premiered in New York City in 2010, with another version premiering at the Garrick Theatre, London in 2022 starring Emma Corrin and directed by Michael Grandage. The novel has also been adapted into operatic works.

Title: A Christmas Carol Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: David Crandall, Cynthia Franklin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 58 minutes Release date: November 1, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 and the first edition, published on 19th December, was so successful that it sold out in just six days. The publishers had to produce two further editions between Christmas and the new year to meet the demand, and the novella has never been out of print. A Christmas Carol tells the story of a greedy money-lender, Ebenezer Scrooge, who is first visited by the ghost of his former business partner and then by three spirits - the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. They show Scrooge's lack of compassion to him, compelling him to act more compassionately in the future and to honor Christmas in his heart.

Title: [Russian] - Мертвые души Author: николай гоголь Narrator: вячеслав манылов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 36 minutes Release date: November 14, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: «Мёртвые ду́ши» — произведение Николая Васильевича Гоголя, жанр которого сам автор обозначил как поэму. Изначально задумано как трёхтомное произведение. Первый том был издан в 1842 году. Практически готовый второй том был утерян, но сохранилось несколько глав в черновиках. Третий том был задуман и не начат, о нём остались только отдельные сведения. Сюжет поэмы был подсказан Гоголю Александром Сергеевичем Пушкиным предположительно в сентябре 1831 года. Сведения об этом восходят к «Авторской исповеди», написанной в 1847 году и опубликованной посмертно в 1855 году, и подтверждаются надёжными, хотя и косвенными, свидетельствами. Книга рассказывает о похождениях Павла Ивановича Чичикова, главного героя поэмы, бывшего коллежского советника, выдающего себя за помещика. Чичиков приезжает в неназванный городок, некий губернский «город N», и немедленно пытается войти в доверие ко всем сколько-либо важным обитателям города, что ему успешно удаётся. Герой становится крайне желанным гостем на балах и обедах. Горожане неназванного города не догадываются об истинных целях Чичикова. А цель его заключается в скупке или безвозмездном приобретении умерших крестьян, которые, по переписи, ещё числились как живые у местных помещиков, и последующем оформлении их на своё имя как живых. О характере, прошлой жизни Чичикова и о его дальнейших намерениях насчёт «мёртвых душ» рассказывается в последней, одиннадцатой главе. Николай Васильевич Гоголь - автор величайших произведений русской литературы повестей «Мёртвые души», «Шинель», «Тарас Бульба», «Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки», «Нос», «Вий», «Записки сумасшедшего», «Коляска», «Портрет», «Невский проспект», комедии «Ревизор», «Женитьба» и сборника повестей «Миргород». Жизнь и творчество Гоголя наполнены таинственностью и мистицизмом, благодаря чему он был, есть и будет самым загадочным писателем, гениальным сатириком и непревзойденным драматургом. николай гоголь Tue, 14 Nov 2023 09:17:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729702 thebookvoice.com 21:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729702]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Чичиков приезжает в неназванный городок, некий губернский «город N», и немедленно пытается войти в доверие ко всем сколько-либо важным обитателям города, что ему успешно удаётся. Герой становится крайне желанным гостем на балах и обедах. Горожане неназванного города не догадываются об истинных целях Чичикова. А цель его заключается в скупке или безвозмездном приобретении умерших крестьян, которые, по переписи, ещё числились как живые у местных помещиков, и последующем оформлении их на своё имя как живых. О характере, прошлой жизни Чичикова и о его дальнейших намерениях насчёт «мёртвых душ» рассказывается в последней, одиннадцатой главе.

Title: [Russian] - Мертвые души Author: николай гоголь Narrator: вячеслав манылов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 36 minutes Release date: November 14, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: «Мёртвые ду́ши» — произведение Николая Васильевича Гоголя, жанр которого сам автор обозначил как поэму. Изначально задумано как трёхтомное произведение. Первый том был издан в 1842 году. Практически готовый второй том был утерян, но сохранилось несколько глав в черновиках. Третий том был задуман и не начат, о нём остались только отдельные сведения. Сюжет поэмы был подсказан Гоголю Александром Сергеевичем Пушкиным предположительно в сентябре 1831 года. Сведения об этом восходят к «Авторской исповеди», написанной в 1847 году и опубликованной посмертно в 1855 году, и подтверждаются надёжными, хотя и косвенными, свидетельствами.

Це модерністський роман, стилізований під мемуари, який передає атмосферу 20-х років двадцятого століття. Він має ознаки пригодницького, автобіографічного і водночас утопічного та мариністичного фантастичного романів. Текст побудовано як спогад оповідача й головного персонажа, але в його структуру також вплетено менші тексти, відмінні за жанром та стилістикою — це листи, фантазії, мрії, перекази, ідеї сценаріїв тощо. Таким чином читач стає свідком захопливого кількарівневого дистанціювання від реальності. юрій яновський Tue, 14 Nov 2023 09:17:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729448 thebookvoice.com 8:0:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729448]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Sun Also Rises Author: Ernest Hemingway Narrator: Peter Coates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 10, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, his first, that portrays American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Title: Of Mice and Men Author: John Steinbeck Narrator: Mark Bowen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 26 minutes Release date: November 10, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Of Mice and Men is a novella written by John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it narrates the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States. Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences working alongside migrant farm workers as a teenager in the 1910s (before the arrival of the Okies that he would describe in The Grapes of Wrath). The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem 'To a Mouse', which reads: 'The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley'. (The best laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry.) While it is a book taught in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censors for vulgarity, and what some consider offensive and racist language; consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.

Title: The Well of Loneliness & The Trial that Gripped a Nation: Two Full-Cast BBC Radio Dramatisations Author: Shelley Silas, Radclyffe Hall Narrator: Diane Souhami, Valerie Edmond, Shelley Silas, Kate Fleetwood, Anastasia Hille, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 5 minutes Release date: March 14, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The pioneering novel of lesbian love and attraction brought to life by a full cast. Includes exclusive content. A baby girl named Stephen Gordon, is born to well-to-do parents. She grows from a young tomboy into a thoughtful woman who feels 'different'. Stephen is understood by her father but alienated from her mother. Bucking against the conventions of society she turns down an offer of marriage and forms a passionate attachment to an American woman. Gradually, Stephen realises she will never fall in love with a man – but will she be an outcast? In pursuit of love and experience, Stephen takes herself to bohemian Paris, a far cry from the strict confines of British society. She joins the ambulance corps in the First World War. It’s here she meets Mary and, when they become lovers, she takes a fatal step in deciding their future. First published in 1928, Hall’s novel has become a classic, telling the story of one woman’s desperate attempt to be loved and to love against all odds. To complement this stunning adaptation, writer Shelley Silas, in The Trial of the Well of Loneliness, tells the gripping story of how Hall’s pioneering novel, though not sexually explicit, became the centre of a 1928 obscenity trial. This original drama explores how the novel remains an iconic portrayal of lesbian relationships and contains the passionate plea: 'Give us also the right to our existence.' This download edition also features an exclusive edition of The Essay: Journeys to the Grave. A reflective, restorative and often playful journey in search of the final resting place of a literary hero.

Gradually, Stephen realises she will never fall in love with a man – but will she be an outcast? In pursuit of love and experience, Stephen takes herself to bohemian Paris, a far cry from the strict confines of British society. She joins the ambulance corps in the First World War. It’s here she meets Mary and, when they become lovers, she takes a fatal step in deciding their future. First published in 1928, Hall’s novel has become a classic, telling the story of one woman’s desperate attempt to be loved and to love against all odds. To complement this stunning adaptation, writer Shelley Silas, in The Trial of the Well of Loneliness, tells the gripping story of how Hall’s pioneering novel, though not sexually explicit, became the centre of a 1928 obscenity trial. This original drama explores how the novel remains an iconic portrayal of lesbian relationships and contains the passionate plea: 'Give us also the right to our existence.' This download edition also features an exclusive edition of The Essay: Journeys to the Grave. A reflective, restorative and often playful journey in search of the final resting place of a literary hero. Diana Souhami steps into Radclyffe Hall’s tomb in London’s Highgate Cemetery, where the author resides with her lover, her lover’s husband and their dog Tulip – an aptly unconventional set-up in death as in life. ©2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd Cast and credits The Well of Loneliness Dramatised by Sarah Woods Written by Radclyffe Hall Directed by Melanie Harris Music composed and played by Odaline de la Martinez Violinist - Janet Foust Cellist - Andy Wardale Stephen - Valerie Edmond Young Stephen - Alexandra Bateman Mary/Collins/Angela - Amanda Root Anna/Valerie - Roberta Kerr Puddle - Sarah Park Martin - Paul Warriner Jamie/Violet - Katy Cavanagh Brockett - Malcolm Hebden Philip - Rob Pickvance Colonel Antrim - Russell Dixon Young Violet - Sara Kaplan Young Roger - Thomas Hudson Ralph - Martin Reeve First Broadcast BBC Radio 4, 9 May 1999 The Trial of the Well of Loneliness Written by Shelley Silas Directed by Emma Harding Radclyffe Hall - Kate Fleetwood Una, Lady Troubridge - Anastasia Hille Stephen Gordon - Laura Christy Gilchrist Thompson - Will Kirk Sir Chartres Biron - Neil McCaul Eustace Fulton - Clive Hayward Norman Birkett - Rick Warden James Melville - Tony Turner Desmond McCarthy - Greg Jones Court Clerk - Adam Courting Court Actress - Scarlett Courtenay Puddle - Jessica Turner Additional research documents courtesy of Morris Ernst Papers, Harry Ransom Center and the University of Texas at Austin First Broadcast BBC Radio 4, January 2020 The Essay: Journeys to the Grave Written and presented by Diana Souhami First Broadcast BBC Radio 4, 15 June 2022 https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/727329 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/727329]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Russian] - Бесы Author: федор достоевский Narrator: максим суханов Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 36 hours 12 minutes Release date: November 3, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Достоевский загорелся идеей «Бесов» после приезда Ивана Сниткина, брата его жены, в Дрезден. Вследствие волнений в Московском университете и активности студенческого движения, Сниткин и Достоевский много говорили про жизнь студентов, их нравы и настроения, что и вдохновило автора на написание романа. В одном из писем поэту Аполлону Майкову Достоевский писал: «Сел за богатую идею; не про исполнение говорю, а про идею. Одна из тех идей, которые имеют несомненный эффект в публике. Вроде «Преступления и наказания», но ещё ближе, ещё насущнее к действительности и прямо касается самого важного современного вопроса. Уж слишком горячая тема. Никогда я не работал с таким наслаждением и с такой легкостью». Сюжет «Бесов», полный политических интриг, религиозной драмы и экзистенциальной трагедии вырывается за грани жанра и представляет собой литературный катарсис на вечно актуальные темы. К 150-летию первой публикации романа мы представляем вам его аудиоверсию, виртуозно исполненную актером Максимом Сухановым. Вот что Максим рассказал нам о своем желании озвучить «Бесов»: «Меня как актера прельщают персонажи, а их там очень много. И все они в той или иной степени отходят от нормы. Я бы даже сказал, что все эти истории, которые происходят между этими людьми, сродни большой истерии или сумасшедшему дому. А так как это описывается и серьезно, и с большим чувством юмора — читать это большое удовольствие».

Title: The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien: A Novel Author: Oscar Hijuelos Narrator: Gary Tiedemann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 41 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: With “soaring, matchless prose,” a Pulitzer Prize winner pens a New York Times bestselling saga of the Montez O’Briens, a rambunctious family of Irish Cuban immigrants comprised of fourteen daughters—and one doggedly masculine son (Publishers Weekly).  Irish American Nelson O’Brien fell passionately in love with the poetess Mariela Montez while photographing the ravages of battle in Mariela's native Cuba during the Spanish-American War. After marrying, they moved to the United States to start a new life, settling in a small Pennsylvania town where Nelson took over the Jewel Box Movie Theater. Together, they had a remarkable fifteen children: fourteen daughters and one lone son. In Oscar Hijuelos’s The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien, the lives, loves, and tragedies of this sprawling Irish Cuban family unfold. Over the course of a century, each member moves in and out of each other’s lives, traversing Cuba, New York, California, Alaska, and Ireland, while Margarita—the Montez O’Brien’s eldest daughter—ruminates on the nature of femininity, sex, love, and earthly happiness. And as Margarita learns and grows in an overwhelmingly female environment, she can’t help but contrast her experiences with those of Emilio, her intensely masculine brother, whose B-movie career in the 1950s has left him adrift and frustrated, with little hope of success. Lush and gorgeously written, The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien is a masterwork by one of America's greatest writers. Reckoning with cultural assimilation and complex family dynamics, the novel elicits tears and laughter while tenderly revealing the bounteous heart and exhilarating adventures of a warm, passionate family. Includes a Reading Group Guide.

One of the great classics of German literature, Heinrich von Kleist's sexually charged novella is as edgy today as it was when it was first published in 1808, and is accompanied here by two other celebrated stories, ‘The Earthquake in Chile' and ‘The Foundling', showcasing the range of their author's narrative abilities and his taste for the ambiguous and the paradoxical. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723263 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723263]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Eclogues and Georgics Author: Vergil Narrator: Jamie Parker, Roger May, Andrew Wincott, Paul Panting Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 35 minutes Release date: June 22, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Though it is for the sparkling epic, Aeneid, that the Roman poet Virgil is best known, it was these two poems, The Eclogues and Georgics, which first established his reputation. Cast in the tradition of pastoral poetry, The Eclogues were written between 41 BCE and 37 BCE when Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, to give him his full name) was in his thirties. The Eclogues (the word means ‘Selections' in Greek) contain 10 poems, a combination of dialogues and monologues. They drew on the ‘bucolic' (rural) style of the ancient Greek poet Theocritus (c 300BCE-c 260 BCE), but Virgil weaves many references to contemporary Roman events. Though The Eclogues have perhaps existed in the shadow of Georgics, they have been highly regarded and studied by academics and poets down the centuries. They are presented here in the 20th century translation by the British poet R. C. Trevelyan, and read in multi-voice format as they were originally written, with clearly delineated characters bringing the content to life with verve and temperament. Though also pastoral in nature, Georgics is very different in style. Published in 29 BCE, the main subject is agriculture (the title reflects the Greek word ‘georgika', agricultural things), and vigorously promotes traditional means of farming. Again, Virgil weaves into his verse cultural and political themes. Cast in four Books, the dynamic expression draws on numerous Classical, mythical and contemporary references, while explaining the best methods for ploughing, animal husbandry, observing weather patterns, the life of bees and the like. Increasingly, the rise and fall of man's endeavours can be reflected in the vicissitudes of agricultural life. The 20th century translation of Georgics used on this recording is by the highly respected translator of Latin poetry, Smith Palmer Bovie. It is read by Jamie Parker. Closer study of both works while listening is possible through the complete texts that come with the recording.

Title: Just Patty and When Patty Went to College: Two Audiobook Box Set Author: Jean Webster Narrator: Rebecca H. Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 5, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Patty Wyatt is a fun-loving, headstrong, and intelligent girl who gets herself into mischief and learns valuable lessons, both in and out of the classroom. Now you can hear the complete story in this box set, from Patty’s boarding school days to her college life. Just Patty was masterfully crafted by Jean Webster as a prequel to her classic title, When Patty Went to College. Producer’s note: These audiobooks were read from the original texts, which were products of their time. When the books were written, it was common in American society to caricature certain ethnic groups for the sake of humor. This type of humor was wrong then and is wrong now, but to remove these inexcusable jokes and harmful portrayals would be equal to pretending that they never existed. Instead, we chose to leave the text as written, in order to shed some light on the issue, allowing for discussions in book groups and school settings and hopefully inspiring future generations to write with more accurate representation in the future.

Title: 200Th Anniversary Collection 2 Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Here is the second volume; the first volume of short works - fiction, essays, poetry and speeches celebrating Dickens' birthday on February 7th 2012. The wonder of Charles Dickens resides in his unparalleled ability to transport readers into the vivid tapestry of Victorian England. With an uncanny knack for illuminating both the harsh realities of life in the 19th century and the enduring resilience of the human spirit, Dickens crafted stories that transcend time and place. His characters, from the indomitable Oliver Twist to the enigmatic Miss Havisham, are etched into the collective memory of literature, their plights and triumphs offering a profound mirror to our own experiences. Dickens' narrative prowess lay in his knack for conjuring intricate, multi-layered plots that captivate, inspire, and, at times, even elicit a tear or a hearty chuckle. The vivid streets of London, the trials of orphans, and the ghostly visitations in A Christmas Carol all come to life through his words, inviting readers to explore the multifaceted world he so masterfully crafted. But the wonder of Charles Dickens goes beyond his storytelling. He was, in every sense, a social critic of his era. His works, whether through the depiction of child labor, the stark conditions of the poor, or the intricacies of the legal system, shed light on the injustices of Victorian society. With a pen as his sword, Dickens championed social reform and illuminated the darkness of his time. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of literature to challenge the status quo and inspire change. Even today, his writings remain a source of wonder, inspiring generations to appreciate the beauty of language and the enduring resilience of the human spirit, and reminding us of the timeless relevance of his timeless tales. With narration by Emmy Award-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano.

Sheldon Narrator: Stephen Johnston Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: What would Jesus do? When several members of an ordinary American church are challenged to not take a single action without fist asking that crucial question, they discover the power of God to transform their own lives—and their world. Charles M. Sheldon’s provocative novel, originally published in 1896 and enthusiastically rediscovered by today’s believers, testifies dramatically to the value of Christian witness in all of life. Charles M. Sheldon (1857–1946) is best remembered for his 1896 masterwork In His Steps, the multi-million copy best-selling Christian novel that continues to challenge readers today. But he was more than a best-selling author. At the turn of the twentieth century, Sheldon was perhaps the best-known clergyman in America, a preacher whose avid support of social reforms grew out of his understanding of the Christian’s responsibility to his fellowman.

Sheldon Narrator: Stephen Johnston Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: What would Jesus do? When several members of an ordinary American church are challenged to not take a single action without fist asking that crucial question, they discover the power of God to transform their own lives—and their world. Charles M. Sheldon’s provocative novel, originally published in 1896 and enthusiastically rediscovered by today’s believers, testifies dramatically to the value of Christian witness in all of life. Charles M. Sheldon (1857–1946) is best remembered for his 1896 masterwork In His Steps, the multi-million copy best-selling Christian novel that continues to challenge readers today. But he was more than a best-selling author. At the turn of the twentieth century, Sheldon was perhaps the best-known clergyman in America, a preacher whose avid support of social reforms grew out of his understanding of the Christian’s responsibility to his fellowman. About the Hendrickson Christian Classics series: Acts of faith always start with a small “yes”—so how can you get better at hearing his call? Learning from trusted elders and writers in Christianity who walked before us is a fantastic way to begin! Whether you are looking to get more out of Scripture, be challenged by God’s relentless love, or gain a greater understanding for how Jesus reveals himself, the Hendrickson Christian Classics series will inspire and provoke you into a deeper relationship with the Lord.

Title: Hard Times: Full Cast Drama Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 16 minutes Release date: October 25, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In Charles Dickens' 'Hard Times,' the industrial landscape of Coketown serves as a bleak backdrop to a tale that explores the harsh realities of the 19th-century British society, a world driven by utilitarianism and the dehumanizing effects of industrialization. The novel is a powerful narrative that delves into the lives of the characters living in this grim, factory-dominated town. The story is centered around two contrasting characters: Thomas Gradgrind, a strict and utilitarian-minded schoolmaster, and Josiah Bounderby, a wealthy factory owner. Gradgrind's rigid belief in facts and statistics and Bounderby's promotion of the idea that anyone can rise from poverty through hard work represent the heart of the utilitarian philosophy that permeates the town. However, as the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that these ideals come at a great cost. Children are educated to suppress their imagination and emotions, while the workers in Bounderby's factories endure miserable conditions and are denied any sense of dignity. Amid this grim setting, Dickens introduces characters like Stephen Blackpool, an honest and hardworking millhand, and Sissy Jupe, the daughter of a circus performer. These characters bring a sense of humanity and compassion to the story, challenging the utilitarian principles that have stripped Coketown of its soul. As the narrative progresses, the lives of the characters intersect in a series of hardships and trials, ultimately leading to moments of redemption and transformation. 'Hard Times' is a narrative that critiques the dehumanizing effects of an overly rational, industrial society while emphasizing the importance of compassion, imagination, and the recognition of the complexities of human nature.

Title: Oliver Twist: Full Cast Drama Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'Oliver Twist,' one of Charles Dickens' most enduring works, unfolds a compelling narrative of an orphaned boy's struggle against the stark injustices of 19th-century London. The story begins with the birth of Oliver in a workhouse, where his mother, who has died during childbirth, is just one of many tragic figures in the heartless world of poverty and exploitation. As a young boy, Oliver faces a harsh existence in the workhouse and eventually escapes to the bustling and treacherous streets of London. In the city, Oliver becomes entangled with a gang of juvenile delinquents led by the malevolent Fagin and his menacing associate, Bill Sikes. Despite his innocence, Oliver is drawn into a world of crime, a stark contrast to his inherently good nature. As the narrative unfolds, readers follow Oliver's journey from the dangerous underworld to the compassionate embrace of Mr. Brownlow, who offers the boy a glimpse of a better life. The narrative of 'Oliver Twist' is a tale of contrasts, highlighting the stark divisions between the privileged and the impoverished, the forces of good and evil, and the corrupting influences of society. Dickens paints a vivid picture of the injustices and suffering experienced by the poor and orphaned, while also showcasing the potential for redemption and transformation. Through Oliver's journey, the narrative ultimately conveys a message of hope, resilience, and the belief that individuals, even those born into the most dire circumstances, can find their way to a better, more just life. Dickens' storytelling in 'Oliver Twist' remains a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for social justice and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Title: Anthem Author: Ayn Rand Narrator: Jennifer March Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Though written in the 1930s, Anthem addresses controversial subjects in society that are still relevant today: equality, environment, sexism, mental health, the role of government. In revisiting this book and its many subjects, one keeps catching glimpses of understandings, and connections with our society today. The use of “we”—could it have a connection to the way we now declare our pronouns? The light he creates—could it have a connection to how man exploits the planet and is paying the price for it now? The Mating Hall—could it have a connection to the Me Too movement? The assumption that all must be happy, for there is no reason not to be—could it have a connection to our dawning understanding of mental health? Then, as you hear the struggles of the main character to grasp something just beyond his fingertips, you too may struggle to find your own understanding of what all this means in today’s world. Listen. And see what questions it brings to mind for you.

Title: [Croatian] - Proces Author: Franz Kafka Narrator: Mario Cutek Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 49 minutes Release date: October 3, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Ovaj roman, koji je Kafka kao i vecinu svojih djela smatrao humoristickim, najcesce se danas priziva kad se govori o izgubljenosti covjeka u neobjasnjivim birokratskim labirintima suvremenog drustva. No – to je samo jedna od mogucih interpretacija: osim ovih politickih i socioloskih aspekata, u Procesu vidimo i brojne motive koji su Kafku zanimali u svim djelima, kao sto je pitanje osobne krivnje, izgubljenosti pojedinca u neprijateljski nastrojenom, ne do kraja razumljivom svijetu, strah pred ispraznom seksualnoscu, te hladnoca i beskorisnost institucionalne religije u pokusajima da se pronadje duhovni mir. Kafka se slicnim motivima vracao vise puta, te stoga mnogi kriticari usporedjuju Proces s njegovim drugim romanom, Dvorac, nastalim 1926. godine, u kojem protagonist, takodjer poznat samo kao K., stize u selo kojim upravlja nepristupacan i bezlican autoritet dvorca, i uzaludno pokusava doprijeti do njega, slicno kao sto Josef K. uzaludno pokusava pronaci rjesenje za svoj polozaj. Takodjer se moze pronaci paralele s pripovijetkom U kaznjenickoj koloniji, napisanoj otprilike u isto vrijeme kad i Proces (prva je verzija nastala 1914., iako je objavljena tek 1919. godine), a zamisao o neprobojnosti birokracije prisutna je u gotovo svakom Kafkinom djelu. Neki se pak kriticari usredotocuju na psihoanaliticke elemente Procesa, naglasavajuci kako je vec sam naslov dvoznacan, jer se moze odnositi i na sudski proces, ali i na proces bolne samospoznaje. U prilog ovome govore nadrealisticni, apsurdisticki elementi romana, kao i predavanje Josefa K. sudbini, sto je simbolicki trenutak u kojem covjek prihvaca vlastite nedostatke i prestaje ih zatomljivati. Po dnevnickim zapisima znamo da je Kafka poznavao Freudove teorije, te je moguce da je neke od svojih »freudovskih« motiva u svoja knjizevna djela ukljucio svjesno i namjerno. U svakom slucaju, Proces je ostao jedno od najslavnijih, mozda i najslavnije Kafkino djelo, te je dao povoda mnogim interpretacijama i ekranizacijama: još 1962. godine, slavni redatelj Orson Welles napravio je filmsku verziju – snimanu u Zagrebu – u kojoj je Josefa K. igrao Anthony Hopkins, dok je ulogu Odvjetnika Welles preuzeo na sebe. Njemacki skladatelj Gottfried von Einem pak sredinom 20. stoljeca skladao je operu Der Prozeß, koja je dozivjela vise uprizorenja sirom svijeta.

Title: American Notes: Full Cast Drama Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 21 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In 'American Notes,' Charles Dickens embarks on a captivating journey across the Atlantic in the 19th century to offer his keen observations and critiques of the young United States. Published in 1842, this travelogue chronicles Dickens' experiences during his tour of the United States and Canada, showcasing his unique ability to blend sharp social commentary with vivid narrative storytelling. The narrative begins with Dickens setting sail from Liverpool to Boston, and from the moment he arrives on American soil, he is met with great enthusiasm and anticipation. Yet, his initial enthusiasm gradually gives way to a critical exploration of American society, culture, and institutions. Dickens paints a picture of a nation marked by stark contrasts – the raw, untamed beauty of the American landscape juxtaposed with the bustling cities, and the democratic ideals of freedom and equality set against the glaring issues of slavery and inequality. Throughout the journey, Dickens encounters a wide array of characters and situations that highlight the complexities of American life. He offers poignant insights into the horrors of slavery, the shortcomings of the prison system, and the social divisions that permeate American society. His narrative serves as a powerful indictment of these injustices and an impassioned call for reform. However, 'American Notes' is not solely a critique of the United States. Dickens also portrays the genuine hospitality and kindness of many Americans he meets along the way, and he highlights their eagerness to embrace and engage with the ideas and literature of the Old World. The travelogue ultimately reflects Dickens' conviction that positive change is possible through the exchange of ideas and the continuous dialogue between nations.

Seines jungen Lebens kann er sich nicht recht freuen. Er will schnell groß werden. Es wurmt ihn, dass Hasen über ihn hinweg springen. Er wünscht sich, dass, wenn er groß ist, Vögel hoch oben in seinen Zweigen nisten. Aber dann steht Weihnachten vor der Tür und das Bäumchen macht die Erfahrung, dass Tannen auch schon in jungen Jahren aus dem Wald geholt werden, um, festlich geschmückt, in warmen Stuben in ganzer Pracht und Herrlichkeit zu brillieren. Das Bäumchen denkt, dass dies von nun an immerfort, Tag ein, Tag aus, so geschehe. Aber nach dem Fest wird er wieder abgeschmückt und auf den Dachboden in die dunkelste Ecke verfrachtet ...

Title: [Catalan] - La plaça del Diamant Author: Mercè Rodoreda Narrator: Miranda Gas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 3 minutes Release date: October 10, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'Distingida amiga: Arribo al despatx mort de son, per culpa de vostè. M'he passat la nit en blanc llegint la seva novel·la, sense poder deixar-la. Feia molt de temps que cap llibre no m'havia tret el son d'aquesta manera. Trobo aquesta novel·la simplement formidable. És la seva obra mestra.' (Carta de Joan Sales a Mercè Rodoreda, 1961) 'Totes aquestes pàgines, poètiques i patètiques, sense un gra de sentimentalisme, m'han emocionat profundament, i les últimes m'han deixat sense alè. Sembla mentida que amb elements tan simples es pugui arribar a una tensió tan extraordinària, a estones inaguantable. Se m'ha nuat el coll tres o quatre vegades, hi ha pàgines d'una veritat que esborrona. Aquest equilibri perfecte entre el dramatisme, la poesia i la banalitat, molt poca gent el deu haver aconseguit. I t'ho dic, no després de llegir una novel·la policíaca, sinó després d'acabar —immediatament després d'acabar— Els posseïts de Dostoievski.' (Carta d'Armand Obiols a Mercè Rodoreda, 1960) 'Pocas personas saben fuera de Cataluña quién era esa mujer invisible que escribía en un catalán espléndido unas novelas hermosas y duras como no se encuentran muchas en las letras actuales. Una de ellas —La plaza del Diamante— es, a mi juicio, la más bella que se ha publicado en España después de la Guerra Civil. Mi deslumbramiento fue apenas comparable al que me había causado la primera lectura de Pedro Páramo, de Juan Rulfo, aunque los dos libros no tienen en común sino la transparencia de su belleza.'

Title: A Christmas Carol Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 29 minutes Release date: October 23, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In the heart of London, during a chilly Christmas Eve, a tale of redemption and the transformative power of goodwill unfolds in Charles Dickens' timeless masterpiece, 'A Christmas Carol.' The story introduces us to Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who values wealth above all else and has long abandoned the joy and compassion of the holiday season. Scrooge is visited by the spirit of his long-deceased business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley, condemned to an eternity of torment for his own avarice in life, arrives weighed down by heavy chains made of cashboxes, ledgers, and padlocks, a grim testament to the price of a selfish existence. Marley warns Scrooge that he, too, is bound for a similar fate unless he changes his ways. To aid in this transformation, Scrooge will be visited by three more spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The story's power lies in the journey of Ebenezer Scrooge, as he confronts his own misdeeds and awakens to the true spirit of Christmas. As he witnesses the lives of those around him, his icy heart begins to thaw. The Cratchit family's humble celebration, despite their meager means, touches him deeply, and he is especially moved by the vulnerability of Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit's ailing son. Scrooge's transformation culminates when he is confronted with the vision of his own lonely death, unloved and unmissed. Filled with remorse and newfound understanding, he implores the spirit for a second chance, a chance to change his ways and embrace the spirit of giving, love, and compassion that embodies the true essence of Christmas. 'A Christmas Carol' serves as a timeless reminder that it is never too late to change, to find the joy in life's simplest pleasures, and to share the wealth of kindness and goodwill with those around us, especially during the holiday season.

Title: 200 Anniversary Collection Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: The Lantern, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 23, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Charles Dickens 200th Anniversary Collection comprises short works, fiction, essays, poetry, letters, magazine articles and speeches. Here is a wonderful potpourri of all genres and periods of his writing. This first volume was released on Dickens' 200th birthday, February 7th 2012. This precious audio work includes short stories including, amongst others, The Holly Tree, the first part of Holiday Romance and three pieces from Mugby Junction. Some items requiring a little further explanation are Prince Bull, written as a fairy tale, but in reality a scathing attack on the Government's handling of supplies to the troops in the Crimean War; Old Lamps for New Ones in which Dickens makes clear his low opinion of the ethos of the Pre-Raphaelite school of painting; and Frauds on the Fairies, a polemic against George Cruikshank's bowdlerization of fairy tales for moralistic purposes, and the interesting revelation that 'product placement' is by no means a new phenomenon. With narration by Emmy Award-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano.

Some items requiring a little further explanation are Prince Bull, written as a fairy tale, but in reality a scathing attack on the Government's handling of supplies to the troops in the Crimean War; Old Lamps for New Ones in which Dickens makes clear his low opinion of the ethos of the Pre-Raphaelite school of painting; and Frauds on the Fairies, a polemic against George Cruikshank's bowdlerization of fairy tales for moralistic purposes, and the interesting revelation that 'product placement' is by no means a new phenomenon. With narration by Emmy Award-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano. Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720743]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Catalan] - Curial e Güelfa Series: #21 of Tast de Clàssics Author: Anònim Narrator: Gemma Brió, Mariona Ribas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Nova edició de Curial e Güelfa en català actual, a càrrec de Lluís-Anton Baulenas. L'edició es completa amb un epíleg completament nou de l'editora i medievalista Raquel Parera en què destaca la importància de les figures femenines dins l'obra. El Curial e Güelfa és una novel·la escrita a mitjan segle xv per un autor del qual en desconeixem el nom. L'obra narra les aventures cavalleresques i sentimentals de Curial, nascut en una família humil del nord d'Itàlia, que de ben jove se'n va a la cort del marquès de Montferrat. Allà coneix la jove vídua Güelfa, senyora de Milà, que esdevindrà la seva protectora i enamorada. La valentia i habilitat de Curial el converteixen aviat en un cavaller victoriós, sempre al servei de la justícia, que lluitarà al costat del rei Pere II el Gran, i serà honorat per l'emperador d'Alemanya i pel rei de França. Els èxits, però, aniran acompanyats de temptacions amoroses que faran trontollar la relació amb la Güelfa.

Title: Mansfield Park Author: Jane Austen Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 28 minutes Release date: October 15, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Jane Austen's novel 'Mansfield Park' is a rich tapestry of characters, relationships, and societal norms. Published in 1814, it stands as one of Austen's most intricate and morally complex works. At its heart, the novel is a nuanced exploration of morality, social class, and the individual's place within a rigidly stratified society. The story revolves around the character of Fanny Price, a poor young girl who is sent to live with her wealthy relatives, the Bertrams, at Mansfield Park. Fanny's humble background sharply contrasts with the opulence of her new home, and she occupies a unique position within the Bertram family. As an outsider, Fanny serves as a keen observer of the behaviors, attitudes, and moral values of those around her. Central to the novel is the idea of morality and virtue. Fanny is portrayed as a paragon of moral integrity, while other characters, like her cousin Maria Bertram and her brother Henry Crawford, reveal moral shortcomings. The contrast between Fanny's unwavering moral compass and the moral lapses of those around her highlights Austen's examination of the consequences of one's actions and the moral decay that can occur within a society obsessed with appearances and social status. The novel also delves into the rigid social hierarchy of early 19th-century England. The Bertrams, as members of the landed gentry, occupy the highest rungs of the social ladder, while Fanny, a poor relation, occupies the lowest. Through Fanny's eyes, readers witness the subtle but significant ways in which social class impacts every aspect of life, from marriage prospects to personal worth. This social commentary forces readers to confront the inherent inequalities of the era and consider the moral implications of a society that values wealth and social standing over character and virtue.

Title: [Spanish] - El jardín de Rama (Serie Rama 3) Series: #3 of Serie Rama Author: Arthur C. Clarke, Gentry Lee Narrator: Luis Posada Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 19, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Continúa la maravillosa historia de ciencia ficción Cita con Rama, protagonizada por la misteriosa nave espacial de la que pocos conocen su verdad. En el año 2013 una misteriosa nave espacial llega al sistema solar. Se trata de Rama, un aparato colosal de cincuenta kilómetros de diámetro, capaz de acoger en su interior una ciudad y un mar. Desierta y aparentemente abandonada, Rama parte hacia su siguiente y desconocido destino. Los humanos han descubierto muchas de sus maravillas, pero no han resuelto los muchos misterios que alberga esa nave. Sólo tienen una cosa clara: los constructores de ese mastodonte lo hacían todo por triplicado. Hoy, ochenta años después de esa aparición, ha llegado una segunda nave alienígena y Rama se está saliendo del sistema solar. Los tres seres humanos que permanecen a bordo viven el momento con profunda incertidumbre. Pero quizás sea en esas circunstancias cuando descubran la verdad sobre Rama. Arthur C.

Title: Oliver Twist Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: Chris Macdonnell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 24 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: This is Charles Dickens’s second novel and regarded as one of his best. It was originally published as a serial from 1837 to 1839, and titled; Oliver Twist, or; A Parish Boys Progress. As a book, it first appeared in 1838 in three volumes. The story follows the title character Oliver Twist, who, being born and raised in a workhouse for the first ten years of his life, runs away to nearby London. Here, he falls in with a gang of young thieves and pickpockets controlled by Fagin, an elderly criminal. Through various quirks of fate, he is rescued (twice) by kindly people who eventually realize he is connected to them both through family and historical ties. But his life is also threatened by a long-lost brother and the criminals he has associated with, who fear he will betray them. It is an example of a Social Novel, which was a particular feature of much of Dickens’s work. Thought to be partly inspired by his own experience of life in the workhouse at the age of twelve, it exposes and satirizes the awfully cruel treatment of the countless orphans in London in the mid-19th century, along with the rampant crime that existed then. The alternative title, The Parish Boy’s Progress, alludes to Bunyan’s The Pilgrims Progress and Hogarth’s paintings; The Rake’s Progress and The Harlot’s Progress.

In debate, point/counterpoint is a means of persuasion in which the speaker begins by conceding to their opponent’s argument before refuting it wholeheartedly. Aldous Huxley follows these traditions in his masterpiece Point Counter Point. The polarity between passion and reason in the intellectual life of the 1920s is demonstrated both in form and in theme in Huxley’s ambitious satire: This complex novel darts around points of view to portray the convoluted nature of perception versus reality, and it boasts a large cast of characters that come together, almost as an orchestra, performing separate melodies that coalesce in one great symphony. Not only do these characters serve such a musical purpose in the plot but they also represent real life writers who were popular at the time, such as D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, John Middleton Murry, and even Huxley himself, in the form of Phillip Quarles, the “novelist” within the novel.

Title: Pride & Prejudice: Full Cast Drama Author: Jane Austen Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 58 minutes Release date: October 13, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' is a literary masterpiece that has captivated readers for over two centuries. Published in 1813, the novel remains a quintessential work of English literature, celebrated for its keen social commentary, memorable characters, and enduring themes. At its core, 'Pride and Prejudice' is a story of love and societal expectations in early 19th-century England. The novel introduces us to the headstrong and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet and the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. Their initial encounters are marked by pride and prejudice, with both harboring preconceived notions about each other. However, as the narrative unfolds, Austen masterfully peels back the layers of pride and prejudice to reveal the vulnerability and depth of these characters. Austen's exploration of the themes of pride and prejudice goes beyond the romantic relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. It extends to a broader examination of the rigid social hierarchy and the judgments people make based on class and appearances. The characters in the novel, from the haughty Lady Catherine de Bourgh to the witty but judgmental Mr. Collins, represent different facets of societal pride and prejudice. Through these characters, Austen invites readers to reflect on the consequences of holding onto such biases. One of the enduring strengths of 'Pride and Prejudice' lies in its timeless relevance. While the novel is firmly rooted in its historical context, the themes it explores—love, marriage, social expectations, and personal growth—are universally applicable. .

Title: Lesley Castle: Full Cast Drama Author: Jane Austen Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 30 minutes Release date: October 11, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: In the realm of classic literature, the name of Leslie Castle often occupies a quieter corner, overshadowed by the towering works of authors such as Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë. However, in the rich tapestry of literary history, Leslie Castle by Anne Isabella Thackeray (later known as Mrs. Ritchie) stands as a charming and insightful novella that deserves recognition for its unique narrative style, character development, and themes that resonate with readers even today. First published in 1864 under the pseudonym 'Ivan Turgénieff,' Leslie Castle presents a fascinating blend of satire and social commentary, wrapped in a narrative that unfolds through a series of letters. This epistolary form allows readers a direct glimpse into the hearts and minds of the characters, shedding light on their innermost thoughts and emotions. Through this intimate narrative technique, Thackeray masterfully paints the vivid personalities of her characters, bringing them to life with remarkable depth. At the heart of Leslie Castle are two cousins, Lady Lesley and Lady Theodosia, who serve as the primary narrators. Through their letters, readers gain insight into their contrasting personalities and worldviews. Lady Lesley, the elder cousin, is a sensible and practical woman, often portrayed as the voice of reason. In contrast, Lady Theodosia, the younger and more impulsive of the two, embodies the romantic and whimsical spirit. The dynamic between these two characters offers an engaging exploration of the tension between pragmatism and romanticism, a theme that resonates across generations.

Title: Northanger Abbey: Full Cast Drama Author: Jane Austen Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 41 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Jane Austen's 'Northanger Abbey' stands as a unique gem among her body of work. Published posthumously in 1817, the novel offers a delightful departure from Austen's more conventional romantic tales, instead serving as a sharp satire of the gothic novel genre that was popular in her time. The story revolves around Catherine Morland, an earnest and imaginative young woman who is introduced to the world of society and courtship during her stay in Bath, England. As Catherine embarks on her own romantic adventures, Austen uses her character to playfully deconstruct the conventions of gothic literature, which was characterized by eerie castles, mysterious secrets, and dark, brooding heroes. Through Catherine's vivid imagination and penchant for reading gothic novels, Austen takes the opportunity to mock the sensationalism and melodrama of the genre. Catherine's expectations of intrigue and danger are repeatedly thwarted by the mundane realities of everyday life. Her tendency to view her surroundings through the lens of her favorite novels leads to humorous misunderstandings and serves as a commentary on the dangers of allowing fiction to overly influence one's perception of reality. Austen employs irony and humor throughout 'Northanger Abbey' to highlight the contrast between Catherine's fanciful expectations and the ordinary events she encounters. The novel's satirical tone gently pokes fun at the excesses and absurdities of gothic literature while simultaneously celebrating the power of imagination and the importance of distinguishing between fiction and reality.

Title: Lady Susan: Full Cast Drama Author: Jane Austen Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 43 minutes Release date: October 11, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'Lady Susan,' a novella by Jane Austen, offers readers a departure from her more well-known novels like 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Sense and Sensibility.' Written in the form of letters, this epistolary work provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of Lady Susan Vernon, a character who stands apart from Austen's typical heroines. The novella's protagonist, Lady Susan, is a cunning and manipulative widow, quite unlike the virtuous heroines that populate Austen's other works. Lady Susan's sharp wit and calculated charm serve as the driving force behind the narrative. Through her letters, we witness her artful maneuvering as she navigates the complexities of society, orchestrates advantageous marriages, and simultaneously manages her own affairs. Austen's choice of the epistolary form allows readers to witness the inner workings of Lady Susan's mind as she artfully weaves webs of deception and manipulation. The novella showcases the power of language and rhetoric in social interactions, with Lady Susan employing her mastery of words to control the perceptions of those around her. Her character is both captivating and repulsive, offering a unique exploration of the darker facets of human nature. Despite Lady Susan's morally dubious actions, Austen manages to infuse the novella with her trademark wit and humor. The characters surrounding Lady Susan, from her confidante Alicia Johnson to her would-be son-in-law Reginald De Courcy, serve as foils to her cunning, allowing for moments of comedic tension and irony. 'Lady Susan' is a shorter work compared to Austen's full-length novels, but it remains a testament to her ability to craft engaging characters and intricate social dynamics. In this novella, Austen provides a window into a world of manipulation, ambition, and social stratagems, all while maintaining her distinctive style and narrative prowess.

Title: The Longest Journey Author: E.M. Forster Narrator: Mark Elstob Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 39 minutes Release date: December 21, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: E. M. Forster once wrote that ‘The Longest Journey' was the novel he was ‘most glad to have written', but he admitted it was ‘the least popular of my five novels.' It was his second published work, dating from 1907, following ‘Where Angels Fear to Tread' (1905) and preceding, by only a year, ‘A Room with a View.' He was 28. It concerns a Cambridge philosophy student, Rickie Elliot – an orphan, lame in one foot – who wants to be a writer. He exists in the intense university environment, influenced by relationships with other students both intellectual and sporty, and faces a growing involvement with the beautiful Agnes Pembroke. But he finds himself ill prepared for the reality of life and work in the outside world, further complicated by the unexpected appearance of a half-brother. His life moves toward compromise shaped by marriage and a teaching post. Where will this ultimately lead? ‘The Longest Journey' charts those key years of growth and change set against the, persistent, private background of personal aspiration. Forster commented, ‘In it, I have managed to get nearer than elsewhere towards what was in my mind – or rather towards that junction of mind with heart, where the creative impulse sparks.' For 21st century readers the novel may evoke the particular atmosphere of early Edwardian England; but it shows nevertheless the writer in Forster that was to lead to the great works of ‘Howard's End' and ‘The Passage to India'.

Title: Sophocles’ Greek Tragedies: A BBC Radio Drama Collection: Oedipus, Antigone, Electra and more Author: Sophocles Narrator: Kristin Scott-Thomas, Vinette Robinson, Russell Dixon, Jude Akuwudike, Jack Lowden, Kenneth Cranham, Brendan Gleeson, Nadine Marshall, William Ash, Diana Quick, John Lynch, Michael Feast, Full Cast, Fiona Shaw, Stephen Rea Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 27 minutes Release date: December 7, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: A collection of full-cast dramatisations of Sophocles’ finest Greek tragedies One of the three great tragic playwrights of ancient Greece, Sophocles wrote over 120 plays during his 60-year career, though only seven survive today. The most famous of these are the Theban Plays, all three of which are included in this collection alongside adaptations of Electra and Philoctetes, brought to life by celebrated writers, poets, and playwrights. The Thebans – Translated and dramatised by acclaimed playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker, this epic cycle follows the fortunes of Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, in three thrilling dramas of bloody acts, family feuds, justice, power and fate. Oedipus Tyrannos sees the King of Thebes setting out to discover the murderer of the former King, Laius – but his investigations lead him to a devastating conclusion. In Oedipus at Kolonus, the blind, elderly Oedipus, exiled from Thebes, arrives at his journey’s end in Kolonus to face his fate. Will he finally be absolved by the gods and find redemption? And in Antigone, King Kreon, the new ruler of Thebes, threatens death to anyone who buries the body of Antigone’s traitorous brother. But for Antigone, her family’s honour means more than life itself... The Cure at Troy – Adapted by Nobel Prize–winning poet Seamus Heaney, this powerful version of Sophocles’ Philoctetes tells the story of the wounded hero, abandoned for ten years on an uninhabited island. Embittered and conflicted, Philoctetes is forced to choose between his need for vengeance and acceptance of his destiny. Electra – Grief-stricken after the murder of her father Agamemnon, Electra is consumed by a desire for revenge. When her brother, Orestes, returns, Electra's fury explodes without mercy, leading to a bloody and terrifying conclusion. This classic tale of power and revenge was adapted by award-winning playwright Frank McGuinness, and features music by PJ Harvey. With star casts including Fiona Shaw, Kenneth Cranham, Brendan Gleeson, Jude Akuwudike, Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Rea and Diana Quick, these gripping dramas share Sophocles’ complex tales of love, honour and betrayal for a modern-day audience, enabling us to see these ancient Greek tragedies through fresh eyes.

The most famous of these are the Theban Plays, all three of which are included in this collection alongside adaptations of Electra and Philoctetes, brought to life by celebrated writers, poets, and playwrights.

Title: [German] - Der Mantel: Eine Erzählung von Nikolai Gogol Author: Nikolai Gogol Narrator: Werner Wilkening Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 24 minutes Release date: October 12, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Der Mantel Eine Erzählung von Nikolai Gogol, gelesen von Werner Wilkening. Die tragikomische Novelle von 1842 beschreibt das einsame Leben des Akakij Akakijewitsch in Sankt Petersburg. Er ist Beamter mit Leib und Seele, der seinen Beruf als Kopist liebt. Den Spott seiner Kollegen ignoriert er, am gesellschaftlichen Leben nimmt er kaum teil. Erst, als er sich einen Mantel kauft, den er sich lange Zeit vom Munde abgespart hat, ändert sich sein Leben schlagartig. Er wird nun von seiner Umwelt wahrgenommen, und seine Kollegen veranstalten sogar ein kleines Fest für ihn und den Mantel. Dann jedoch wird er überfallen und der neue Mantel wird ihm gestohlen. An den Qualen dieses Verlustes stirbt Akakijewitsch schließlich und geistert fortan an der Kalinkinbrücke herum, um vorbeikommenden Passanten die Mäntel zu stehlen. Gogols Erzählung gilt gemeinhin als Meilenstein der novellistischen Erzählkunst des 19. Jahrhunderts. Viele nachfolgende Schriftsteller haben immer wieder auf Sujets und Gogols Erzählweise Bezug genommen. Allerdings wurde diese Geschichte sehr häufig falsch verstanden: als traurige Geschichte vom Schicksal eines armen Petersburger Beamten gedeutet. Diese neue Hörbuchinterpretation möchte diese verbreitete Lesart korrigieren. Gogols Erzählung ist eigentlich eine groteske, ans Absurde grenzende Prosa, die bereits auf Kafka hindeutet – modern in Thematik wie auch im künstlerischen Ausdruck. Erstdruck in: Sotschinenija, Bd. 3, Petersburg 1842. Hier aus: Petersburger Erzählungen. Aus dem Russischen übersetzt von Korfiz Holm. Coverabbildung: Der Mantel - Shinel (1926), Filmplakat von Alexander Nikolajewitsch Zelenski (1882-1942). Schlussmusik: Commodo (Nr. 8) von Sergei Prokofjew. Coverschrift gesetzt aus der Elegant Typewriter. Der Sprecher: Werner Wilkening ist ein gestandener Sprecher mit weit mehr als 25 Jahren Erfahrung - nicht nur vor dem Mikrofon. Er bringt einiges an Bühnenerfahrung mit, ist oft in Film/Funk & Fernsehen aufgetreten und ist nun auch mit seiner unverkennbaren Stimme in zahllosen Hörbüchern des Verlages hoerbuchedition words and music zu erleben, zum Beispiel mit einer Auswahl der 'Lustigen Geschichten' von Anton Tschechow und bisher drei Erzählungen von Nikolai W. Gogol 'Die Nase', 'Die Geschichte vom großen Krakeel zwischen Iwan Iwanowitsch und Iwan Nikiforowitsch' und 'Aufzeichnungen eines Wahnsinnigen'. Mit 'Der Mantel' liefert er nun eine weitere Kostprobe als kongenialer Gogol-Interpret.

Title: The Bishop's Apron Author: Somerset Maugham Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 6, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: 'The Bishop's Apron' is a novel written by W. Somerset Maugham, a British playwright and author, first published in 1906. The book is known for its wit, humor, and exploration of themes related to social class, morality, and the clergy. The novel is set in the fictional English cathedral town of Polchester and revolves around the lives of the clergy, particularly the Bishop of Polchester, Archdeacon Cuthbert, and the charming and somewhat unconventional Canon Ronder. The story's central plot is set in motion when the Bishop loses his cherished apron, an heirloom with great sentimental value. The missing apron leads to a series of misunderstandings, secrets, and humorous situations involving the clergy and the local community. As the narrative unfolds, Maugham delves into the lives and relationships of the clergy, revealing their human foibles, desires, and struggles beneath their respectable exteriors. The characters grapple with questions of morality, faith, and the tension between their spiritual callings and earthly desires. 'The Bishop's Apron' is often classified as a social satire and comedy of manners. Maugham employs his signature wit and keen observation of human nature to create a humorous and satirical portrayal of the clergy and the society in which they live. Through his characters, he explores the hypocrisy and absurdity often associated with the upper echelons of society and the church.

Title: The Seventy-Five Folios and Other Unpublished Manuscripts Author: Marcel Proust Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 25 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: One of the most significant literary events of the century, the discovery of manuscript pages containing early drafts of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time put an end to a decades-long search for the Proustian grail. The Paris publisher Bernard de Fallois claimed to have viewed the folios, but doubts about their existence emerged when none appeared in the Proust manuscripts bequeathed to the Bibliothèque Nationale in 1962. The texts had in fact been hidden among Fallois's private papers, found upon his death in 2018. The Seventy-Five Folios and Other Unpublished Manuscripts presents these folios here for the first time in English, along with seventeen other brief unpublished texts. Extensive commentary and notes by the Proust scholar Nathalie Mauriac Dyer offer insightful critical analysis. Characterized by Fallois as the 'precious guide' to understanding Proust's masterpiece, the folios contain early versions of six episodes included in the novel. Listeners glimpse what Proust's biographer Jean-Yves Tadié describes as the 'sacred moment' when the great work burst forth for the first time. The folios reveal the autobiographical extent of Proust's writing, with traces of his family life scattered throughout. Like a painter's sketches, Proust's folios tell a story of artistic evolution. Here is a literary magnum opus finding its final form.

Title: Orlando: A Biography Author: Virginia Woolf Narrator: Gabrielle De Cuir, Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: “I’m sick to death of this particular self. I want another.” Virginia Woolf’s Orlando is the extraordinary biography of a young nobleman in the court of Elizabeth I who transforms into a woman and lives for over three centuries. In his youth, Orlando is a passionate lover and poet. He dotes on the Queen, serves King James faithfully, falls deeply in love with a Russian princess, and becomes an ambassador to Constantinople, but at his heart all Orlando ever wants to be is a great writer (and living at the same time as Marlowe, Donne, and Shakespeare, this is no easy thing). But while living in Constantinople, one evening Orlando is transformed into woman, though she retains all her memories and personality; the only thing that changes about Orlando is her body. Now as a woman, she must navigate complex and exclusionary legal systems throughout the ages, her own previous views on gender, society’s expectations of marriage, and her own ambitions as a poet—not to mention having to grapple with a seemingly immortal lifespan. An unusual and profound examination of gender roles, expression, and identity, Orlando is one of Woolf’s best known and best loved works, and it remains just as relevant and revolutionary today as when it was first published.

Title: Decline and Fall Author: Evelyn Waugh Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: “What an immature, self-destructive, antiquated mischief is man! How obscure and gross his prancing and chattering on his little stage of evolution! How loathsome and beyond words boring all the thoughts and self-approval of his biological by-product! this half-formed, ill-conditioned body! this erratic, maladjusted mechanism of his soul: on one side the harmonious instincts and balanced responses of the animal, on the other the inflexible purpose of the engine, and between them man, equally alien from the being of Nature and the doing of the machine, the vile becoming!” Evelyn Waugh’s first novel, Decline and Fall, is the daring and hilarious tale of Paul Pennyfeather, a theology student expelled from Oxford and sent to teach at a private boys’ school in Wales. Previously a modest young man, Paul finds himself a bit out of place amongst the teachers of Llanabba, who are all misfits, fools, and derelicts themselves: Prendy (the anxious) and Captain Grimes (the drunk), just to name two. There are not only failed men and rowdy boys in this Welsh town to occupy his time, however; Margot Beste-Chetwynde, the mother of one of his students, quickly becomes the object of Paul’s affections. But Margot may not be all she appears to, and Paul’s world is turned upside down all over again. With a title inspired both by Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West, Waugh’s Decline and Fall is a brilliant farce and a biting satire of English morals and school life of the 1920s and, by extension, of the experience of generations of so many students and educators since.

Title: Vlad The Impaler Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 11 minutes Release date: July 10, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula, was a ruler of Wallachia (now part of modern-day Romania) in the mid-15th century. He is perhaps best known for his brutal methods of punishment, including impaling his enemies on stakes and displaying their bodies as a warning to others. This earned him the nickname 'Vlad the Impaler' and a reputation as one of history's most ruthless leaders. Vlad was born in 1431 in the city of Sighisoara, Romania. He was the son of Vlad II Dracul, who was a member of the Order of the Dragon, a group established to protect Christianity from the Ottoman Turks. Vlad spent much of his youth in captivity in Hungary, where he was held as a hostage by the Ottomans. In 1448, Vlad returned to Wallachia and took the throne from his rival, Vladislav II. During his reign, Vlad was determined to defend Wallachia against the Ottoman Empire, which was seeking to expand its territory in Europe. He engaged in a series of wars against the Ottomans, and his tactics were often brutal. Vlad's most infamous method of punishment was impaling, in which a victim was skewered on a stake and left to die slowly. This method was not unique to Vlad, but he was known to use it frequently and with great enthusiasm. He would often impale hundreds or even thousands of prisoners at a time and display their bodies on the outskirts of his cities as a warning to others. Despite his brutal reputation, Vlad was also known for his devotion to his people and his efforts to modernize Wallachia. He implemented a strict legal code and worked to improve trade and commerce in the region. He also established a system of orphanages and hospitals to care for the poor. Vlad's reign came to an end in 1462, when he was captured by the Ottoman Empire and imprisoned for several years.

Title: Scenes from a Courtesan's Life Author: Honoré De Balzac Narrator: The Arc, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 46 minutes Release date: September 21, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook delves into the scandalous world of high society, love affairs, and social maneuvering in 19th-century Paris. The story revolves around Esther, a beautiful and ambitious courtesan, and her rise to power through relationships with wealthy and influential men.

Title: Transcendence and Liberation Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson Narrator: Robert Noel Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 12 minutes Release date: September 20, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay 'Nature'. Following this work, he gave a speech entitled 'The American Scholar' in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's 'intellectual Declaration of Independence.' Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first and then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays, Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series, represent the core of his thinking. They include the well-known essays 'Self-Reliance', 'The Over-Soul', 'Circles', 'The Poet', and 'Experience.' Together with 'Nature', these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson's most fertile period. Emerson wrote on a number of subjects, never espousing fixed philosophical tenets, but developing certain ideas such as individuality, freedom, the ability for mankind to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. Emerson's 'nature' was more philosophical than naturalistic: 'Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul.' Emerson is one of several figures who 'took a more pantheist or pandeist approach by rejecting views of God as separate from the world.'

Title: Far From the Madding Crowd: 1895 Edition  Author: Thomas Hardy Narrator: Chris Macdonnell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 2 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Set in rural Victorian England, Far from the Madding Crowd describes the life and relationships of a woman Farmer, Bathsheba Everdene. First with the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, then her lonely neighbor William Boldwood, and finally, the prodigal soldier Sergeant Frank Troy. Set in Thomas’s imaginary county of Wessex, it deals with themes of love, honor, and betrayal, against a backdrop of the idyllic, though the idyllic was often harsh in a farming community in Victorian England. Far from the Madding Crowd is Thomas Hardy’s fourth published novel and his first major literary success. Published in 1874, he revised it extensively in 1895 (as the original appeared as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, and he felt it needed altering to make it smoother and more of a continuous novel). In 1901 he revised it again. This recording is of the first 1895 revision. The novel has often been adapted for stage and screen, the most notable being the 1967 Oscar-nominated film directed by John Schlesinger. It is widely regarded as one of the most powerful romance novels of all time.

Title: Far From the Madding Crowd: 1895 Edition  Author: Thomas Hardy Narrator: Chris Macdonnell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 2 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Set in rural Victorian England, Far from the Madding Crowd describes the life and relationships of a woman Farmer, Bathsheba Everdene. First with the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, then her lonely neighbor William Boldwood, and finally, the prodigal soldier Sergeant Frank Troy. Set in Thomas’s imaginary county of Wessex, it deals with themes of love, honor, and betrayal, against a backdrop of the idyllic, though the idyllic was often harsh in a farming community in Victorian England. Far from the Madding Crowd is Thomas Hardy’s fourth published novel and his first major literary success. Published in 1874, he revised it extensively in 1895 (as the original appeared as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, and he felt it needed altering to make it smoother and more of a continuous novel). In 1901 he revised it again. This recording is of the first 1895 revision. The novel has often been adapted for stage and screen, the most notable being the 1967 Oscar-nominated film directed by John Schlesinger. It is widely regarded as one of the most powerful romance novels of all time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712782 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712782]]> to listen full audiobooks.
