Title: Selections from Greek Lives Author: Plutarch Narrator: Nicholas Farrell Format: Abridged Length: 7 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 08-24-11 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Plutarchs series of biographies was the first of its kind, as much ground breaking in conception as Herodotus was with his Histories. Plutarch looked at the great men of the Ancient World and told their stories, in many cases drawing on sources no longer available to us. They offer a unique insight into the characters as well as the achievements of men who influenced their age and the empires that their culture dominated. They are as accessible now as they were when they were first written. It is the companion volume to Roman Lives, also read with style by Nicholas Farrell on Naxos AudioBooks. Editorial Reviews: Nicholas Farrell reads with grace and gravitas this ancient account of Greek figures. Plutarch, a Greek writer of the first and early second centuries C.E., authored Parallel Lives of Greek and Romans, containing 46 biographical portraits of significant Greeks and Romans. This audiobook presents lives of eight prominent Greeks (Lycurgus, Themistocles, Pericles, Alcibiades, Lysander, Alexander, Demosthenes, and Pyrrhus) in chronological order. The text is formal as it is an 1864 revision of an English translation from the 1780s, but Farrell handles it well, never faltering on rarely used words and unfamiliar syntax. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Plutarch) Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:01:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Selections-from-Greek-Lives-Audiobook/B005IRY7QS thebookvoice.com 07:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Heavy Armour This is not truly the best subject matter for an audiobook, with far too many asides and footnotes for listening comfort. What was probably an interesting and stimulating book loses a lot in the audio translation. The narrator fails to bring any excitement to the story and it is all read in a fairly flat monotone. That having been said, it is a good story with some interest for the Troy fan. Perhaps better seen as an addition to a library rather than an introduction to the subject though. An awesome book but a LAME READER What disappointed you about The Tale of Troy? This book really gives you the full detail of everything and I mean everything. But the reader is not exciting and the audio recording is DEAD. There are no dramatical sounds to go along with a fight like this and once again the read is not even exciting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Edipo-re-Oedipus-Rex-Audiobook/B00E5M00ZY Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Edipo re [Oedipus Rex] Autore: Sophocles Narratore: Gabriele Marchesini, Alessandra Cortesi, Maria Giovanna Maioli Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 44 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 07-26-13 Editore: Quondam Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Un giallo straordinario, dove il colpevole non sa di esserlo.

How does an actor, a poet, or any other artist create? Is it by knowing? Is it by inspiration? As the dialogue proceeds, the nature of human creativity emerges as a mysterious process and an unsolved puzzle. © Agora Publications Members Reviews: A brief commentary on pompous actors Socrates questions Ion, who recites the lines of Homer. Ion claims to recite and understand the meaning of Homer's poetry as part of his success. Ion is like an actor who overestimates his intelligence and ability, like one who thinks he can run a company because he plays a CEO in a movie (insert actor of choice). This is a short dialogue. Socrates argues that Ion has no real understanding of Homer's content (Homer is the TRUE genius). The rhapsode (the one who recites) is a vehicle. Socrates attributes Ion's success to 'inspiration' from the muses or the god. Not from intelligence. All of Plato is insightful and worth reading, but I liked Ion for two additional reasons. This dialogue is shorter than Plato's other dialogues. Unlike some, there was a clear conclusion reached here, even though is was specific and not universal. ok Is ok, Cant do much better for the price, Can be a slow read at some times in the book. Art or Inspiration? This dialogue examines whether Ion, a rhapsode, receives his gift of recitation through techne or Inspiration. This dialogue holds many implications for Plato's aesthetic theory and is well worth the read. you will really enjoy. Likewise Ion is a very short Platonic dialogue between Socrates and a rhapsode by the name of Ion who specializes in reciting the poetry of Homer. The dialogue explores the nature of poetic and artistic inspiration in a most playful way. If you are interested in literature and the arts, you will really enjoy. Likewise, if you havenât read any Plato, this is a great place to start. To offer a taste, here are a few snatches of the dialogue along with my brief reflections. Sidebar: all of my statements are, in a way, questions, not to be taken as definitive answers; scholars and philosophers have been debating the details of Platoâs thought for over 2000 years. SOCRATES: I often envy the profession of a rhapsode, Ion; for you have always to wear fine clothes, and to look as beautiful as you can is a part of your art. Then, again, you are obliged to be continually in the company of many good poets; and especially of Homer, who is the best and most divine of them; and to understand him, and not merely learn his words by rote, is a thing greatly to be envied. ---------- A stroke of true Socratic irony. The idea of a philosopher envying someone preoccupied with wearing fine clothes and making sure they look beautiful. What a scream. And then to say such a person âunderstandsâ Homer. Too much. Plato must have had fun writing this dialogue since he adjudged the philosopher beyond concern with physical appearance and ascribed âunderstandingâ to the realm of abstract, logical thinking. SOCRATES: The gift which you possess of speaking excellently about Homer is not an art, but, as I was just saying, an inspiration; there is a divinity moving you, like that contained in the stone which Euripides calls a magnet, but which is commonly known as the stone of Heraclea. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Modern-Scholar-The-Iliad-and-The-Odyssey-of-Homer-Audiobook/B009CE5OQ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Accessible insights, reintroducing two foundational works of our culture Professor Shutt draws upon decades of teaching experience to bring us back to where it all began, from the rage of Achilles to the bloody homecoming of Odysseus. Shutt deftly takes us through the action and principal themes of the works, but the key for me is that these little talks have enough depth that I was able to hear Shutt commenting on things I had forgotten about the works since I last read them more than 25 years ago. This whetted my interest and reignited my desire to reread the books themselves. Just as some people have a face made for radio, Shutt has a voice made for writing. But his scratchy, squeaky tenor nevertheless manages a warm avuncular tone that made these genuinely enjoyable. I recommend these lectures, even though they might benefit from a web page referencing bibliographic notes such as comments on available translations. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Symposium-Audiobook/B075GZLNP2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Good read, No page numbers Like all Plato's works that I've read, it's thought provoking and well done, however, the format is lacking. There aren't any page numbers for the kindle edition, and it's missing the traditional Plato numbering system that seems to go throughout his works. If you're just reading, that's fine, but I need to cite this in a paper, so I've had to look elsewhere. Easy and Good Read I was expecting this to be very long and difficult to understand, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I read on and off throughout the work day on my breaks and finished it by the time I left. The reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is because the ending was very abrupt: I was looking forward to some more. A beautiful masterpiece. Anyone can benefit from the teachings of ... A beautiful masterpiece. Anyone can benefit from the teachings of these philosophers who got together and talk about true love. Loved it. Great read!

And the divine family! What a delightful natural party: human beings raised a degree or two, but all the same, funnier than that.

And the divine family! What a delightful natural party: human beings raised a degree or two, but all the same, funnier than that.

Rouse Members Reviews: A good translation and narrator. I have to disagree with the earlier negative reviews. The translation is the prose translation by W.H.D. Rouse, which is interesting and straightforward. If you are looking for iambic pentameter, the translation to read is Alexander Pope's, which was reprinted in paperback by Penguin within the last few years, but has not been recorded as far as I know. It is great poetry, but much less accurate than Rouse. Rouse may not be the latest and greatest translation out there, but if you are looking for an unabridged recording, this is a good choice. I prefer the Richmond Lattimore or Robert Fagles translations, but as far as I know they are only available in abridged recordings. The abridged recording of the Lattimore translation is also available from Audible, read by Anthony Quinn, but you are not getting the whole thing. To me, Nadia May has a fine voice and it is perfectly intelligible to me. Odyssey was great but did not finish Iliad If, like me, you both read and listen to books, select this as a reader, unless you like hearing how each and every man died in the Trojan war. Sorry guys, but I am a woman and just could not listen to how another man died from having a sword thrust into his back and through his blander or whatever (there are over 250 deaths described), no matter how beautiful the telling. I would love an abridged edition, where only the relevant deaths are described. Still, the Iliad is a great book and a must read, just not a listen. The narrator and translator were both wonderful, just too much death in one place, too well described (and read) for my tastes. A great listening experience Some of the reviews above look to be about a different book. The version I heard was read by Anthony Heald and was very understandable. Heald has a nice crisp pace that kept me engaged and did not let my mind wander. The reading does not sound like someone somberly reading a classic, but like they are telling a story and animated. His character voices were helpfully varied (maybe a tinsy inconsistent e.g. I think Hektor's voices varied across chapters - but I was never confused who was talking) and Heald's voice acting was engaging. The translation was helpful because it provided a sense of the prose of the original Iliad. I'm not qualified to say how accurate it was but it's use of rhyme and meter was not forced but done nicely in key places, such as when a character in an argument is stating some well-known axiom which often live longer as a rhymed verse. As done, I appreciated it as I thought gave a sense of what meter in the Greek version must have felt like and how it could fit in such a story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Oedipus-Trilogy-CliffsNotes-Audiobook/B004S7OGS8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Odd editing of peculiar pronunciation This is much more a review of the performance. I found the reader's pronunciation of certain names to be rather jarring. It seemed as though some names and places were read later in a different (lower/slower) voice and then spliced in to the original recording. However, these were done inconsistently, with some instances of a name in the normal reading voice and others in a lower tone. It was quite distracting overall. Eventually I did learn to ignore it. Though sadly it keeps me from giving this audio book a higher rating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Iliade-The-Iliad-Audiobook/B004MN2NG0 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Iliade (The Iliad) Autore: Omero Narratore: Claudio Carini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 19 hrs and 1 min Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 02-08-11 Editore: Recitar Leggendo Audiolibri Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 2 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Please note: This audiobook is in Italian. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Omero) Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:58:59 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Iliade-The-Iliad-Audiobook/B004MN2NG0 thebookvoice.com 19:01:00 no Ascolta questo titolo per intero gratuitamente su thebookvoice.com Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Iliade (The Iliad) Autore: Omero Narratore: Claudio Carini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 19 hrs and 1 min Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 02-08-11 Editore: Recitar Leggendo Audiolibri Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 2 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Members Reviews: Disappointing But Adequate After loving the audio versions of Plato's Socratic dialogs, I wanted to try listening to Aristotle. This recording was disappointing both for its selections and the narration. The selections lean toward colorful but unchallenging tidbits such as zoological observations. I'd have liked more of the Ethics, Logic, and other work that I might spend some time contemplating. The narrator doesn't help matters, sounding as pedantic as a small-college Philosophy professor serving out his time until retirement. But still, it's Aristotle. There isn't much of his work available so far in Audio format, but I'd say try Nichomachean Ethics first. Come back to this collection if you want more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Odysseus-The-Greatest-Hero-of-them-All-Audiobook/B006348PCW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An old favourite If you could sum up Odysseus: The Greatest Hero of them All in three words, what would they be? Great story for children and adults alike! A classic. What does Tony Robinson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Tony Robinson is one of my favourite narrators, up there with Steven Fry and the greats. New Take on an Old Classic It was just wonderful to listen to Tony Robinson spin this yarn with a more modern slant.He must have left his script at home, knew the basic storyline and decided to tell us the story anyway. I couldn't turn it off. Still loving it! I remember borrowing this as a cassette tape from my local library when I was a kid. It was so enjoyable back then and it is just as great now. It gave me my first interest in Greek mythology. I really recommend it for parents wishing to give a child an educational and entertaining story. The authors are really creative in this re-telling of the fall of Troy and Tony Robinson does a fantastic job of making the story both funny and meaningful. A fantastic introduction to Greek Mythology I read this book as a child and was thrilled to find it on Audible. I have now passed it on to my daughter and I hope she gets as much enjoyment from it as I did. This book spawned my love of Greek Mythology. Tony Robinson is a genius! Fantastic! Greatest Audio book of them all I was thrilled to find this wonderfully narrated story from my childhood on audible. Tony Robinson and Richard curtis put their own wonderful humour into the timeless tale of Homer's Illiad. A must listen for every young boy on a long car journey, with enough entertainment to keep all ears glued to the stereo. Worth every penny. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Metamorphoses-Audiobook/B002V0CA5K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Plagued by flaw in audio-book format This is a potentially wonderful work that doesn't succeed because of problems inherent in the audio format which hit this work particularly hard. If I were to go into the audio-book publishing business, I would be much more attentive to chapter/section breaks, even if it means departing from the precise way it's done in the written work. I can tell that the translation and narration here are fine based on the way I'm captivated by the first episode in each of Ovid's "Books." Really. . . this material is absolutely riveting, a wonderful listen. I also notice that by the end of the Book, I'm barely awake and pretty sure I did doze off at points in the interim. One-hour-plus of un-broken narration does not work, not for Metamorphosis, and probably not for any audio book. We need meaningful breaks (silence, audio-book music, place markers that would show in an iPod, etc.) after every episode, not after every book. I don't care whether Ovid demarcated it that way. I don't care if ancient audiences heard all-the-way-through oral recitations. These audio-books are geared for modern audiences and if the format is to flourish, publishers need to get out of auto-pilot mode (where they passively mimic written text) and really think about user experience. It's probably harsh to pin all this on a review of Metamorphosis. I've seen it throughout audio. If I’d have figured out how to articulate it earlier, I'd have wrote this for Iliad, Odyssey or Aneid. But this is the piece where I realized why I wasn't enjoying the work as much as I could have. Wonderful A pivotal work and understandably so. Every line oozes with that famous Ovidian wit and Charm. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Iliad-Audiobook/B007F0MYY8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Iliad Author: Homer, Edward, Earl of Derby - translator Narrator: Dikran Tulaine Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 02-29-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: The Illiad dates back to the 8th century BC and is Homer's epic precursor to The Odyssey. Set during the Trojan War, it tells of battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Editorial Reviews: Narrator Dikran Tulaine terrifically embodies the role of a grizzled storyteller recounting heroic deeds from the past, his voice layered with experience, shadows of regret, and pride. Homer's precursor to The Odyssey is set during the Trojan War, and this epic narrative tells of the battles and events during this period, such as the quarrel between King Agamemnon and the famous warrior Achilles, the death of Patroclus, and Achilles' revenge on Hector, as well as the involvement of the various gods and goddesses as they try to influence the battle to help their favorites. Tulaine's performance is superb, his smooth narration will draw listeners close and leave them enthralled with visions of glory in their heads. Members Reviews: ON MY BUCKET LIST TO READ. I DID NOT READ THIS BOOK IN SCHOOL AND ALWAYS WANTED TO READ IT.I LOST MOST OF MY VISION TO MACULAR DEGENERATION AND ENJOYED THE AUDIBLE VERSION. Very poor transcription This transcript of the Iliad was clearly not proof read. The line breaks were ignored, so each paragraph breaks randomly, and even the line numbers, which should be at the end of the lines that they indicate, are included within the body of the text, often in mid-line. It's as if this was transcribed by an optical character recognition program without any human oversight. The Project Gutenburg version has much better formatting. Never get tired of reading it Anyone who loves literature should have this permanently in their library or on their tablet. I always like the Iliad over the Odyssey. The lliad of Homer This Book was for my son he read all the time. Could tell you whether the book was good or bad. Thanks Iliad Ah, Iliad Schmiliad. Bruce made me read it. It sucks. He made me read Moby Dick, too, and that was beyond awful.

Members Reviews: Oedipus a twisted story of murder and incest Would you consider the audio edition of Oedipus the King to be better than the print version? Yes, I enjoy hearing a play more then reading about it. I can also listen and do work. What other book might you compare Oedipus the King to and why? Romeo and Juliet. It reads like a Shakespearean play, and is a tragedy. What does Alex Hyde-White bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The tone and in flexion in his voice adds to the experience. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Moved me into an angry place maybe. Oedipus the king is the tale of a man who murdered his father and married his own mother, unknowingly to him. I felt my stomach turn, I would be ill if I killed one of my parents and ended up marrying the other parent. A great translation of Oedipus Would you consider the audio edition of Oedipus the King to be better than the print version? The audiobook did allow me to absorb the story better than the print version. What did you like best about this story? It was a great translation of the classic greek tragedy. Any additional comments? I can see why Oedipus has stood the test of time since 429 BCE. I highly recommend this audiobook to students who need to understand quickly. It's quite a daunting read but the audiobook makes it much more easier. And I highly recommend to those who simply want to dip their minds into ancient greek literature or want to understand a classical example of greek tragedy. The story's message is quite clear: Oedipus's own faults contribute to his downfall. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable and clear reading. Listen to it many times What made the experience of listening to Oedipus the King the most enjoyable? The more I heard it the more I understood it. The first time was difficult. The third tiem, a few days later, was very moving. Who was your favorite character and why? Tiresia. He tells the truth to Oedipus and is abused for it. What does Alex Hyde-White bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? In the second half he is truly an actor for Greek tragedy and the horror of it allo. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It may be too overwhelming for one sitting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Heart-of-It-Audiobook/B00369IVHQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Opiniones de los miembros: Abridged version (weak sauce) Should have been marked clearer that this is an abridged version. Even as an abridged version, this is way too watered down. The voice actors are good, and the sound effects are on point. It reads like an ancient Greek telenovela, which is awesome, but the story loses a lot of its significance with so many parts that are cut. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Worlds-Oldest-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B00KBWZ8KY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

My boys, 8 and 6, listened to the ... My boys, 8 and 6, listened to the audio book of this story and remained excited and engaged during the whole telling. Unlike some authors, McCaughrean has not tried to improve or embellish the beauty of the story, but penned a masterpiece of abridgment that is true to the original. "I Won't Forbid the Old Sea-Shaker His Revenge..." This, the forth and final book in Geraldine McCaughrean's stories of Greek heroes, (preceded byPerseus,Hercules (Heroes)andTheseus (Heroes)) is the only one based on actual literature: Homer's Odyssey. As such, McCaughrean does not have to pick and choose aspects of convoluted and often contradictory myths; her source material has already been written, providing a fairly linear sequence of events. As such, the stories concerning Odysseus have always been more straightforward than those of his peers. The retelling begins well after the Trojan War, with Odysseus sailing home with his fleet of ships to his small kingdom of Ithaca, where his wife Penelope and son Telemachus await him. He has not seen them in ten long years, and the voyage home is a dangerous one. Meawhile, interspersed with Odysseus's journey there are "updates" as to what is happening in Ithaca with his wife and child: Penelope has been bombarded with unwelcome suitors who fight for her hand in marriage, leading mother and son to make secrets plans of their own to keep them at bay. McCaughrean keeps the most famous encounters of Odysseus's adventure (those that even those who have little knowledge of Greek myth are probably familiar with) such as the blinding of Polyphemus the Cyclops, the enchantress Circe turning men into swine, the twin terrors of Scylla and Charybdis. Along with these are slightly less-known experiences, such as his sojourn into the Underworld to speak with the blind seer Tiresias, hospitality in the household of the god of the winds, and the blissful stupor of the Lotus Eaters. All of this is more or less a condescened version of Homer's original text, but there is an amusing variation on the nymph Calypso who holds Odysseus "captive" on her paradiscal island. Turns out that living the life of luxury with an adoring female isn't quite as appealing as it sounds... McCaughrean even manages to sneak in minor episodes, such as the unheroic death of Elpenor (poor guy fell off a roof) and Odysseus's actions to secure his peaceful rest in the Underworld. Come to think of it, its amazing just what is packed into a relatively slender book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Aesops-Fables-Audiobook/B002V1LRJ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Aesop's Fables Author: Aesop Narrator: Mary Woods Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-06 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: The earliest extant collections of Aesop's stories were made by various Greek versifiers and Latin translators, to whose compilations were added tales from Oriental and ancient sources to form what we now know as Aesop's Fables. The majority of European fables, including those of La Fontaine, are largely derived from these succinct tales. An extraordinary storyteller who used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to describe the reality of a harsh world, Aesop created narratives that are appealing, funny, politically astute, and profoundly true. Aesop's truth is often summed up in the pithy "moral of the story". According to tradition, Aesop was a Phrygian slave who probably lived from 620 to 560 BC. It is inferable from Aristotle's mention of Aesop's acting as a public defender that he was freed from slavery, possibly as a result of his wit. Plutarch stated that the Athenians erected a noble statue of him. Little is known about his life and many conflicting stories exist. It can be stated, however, that he was an extraordinary storyteller who conveyed his remarkable wisdom regarding human nature in appealing tales. Over the centuries, Aesop's Fables have retained their power to reach our intellects and touch our hearts. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Aesop) Fri, 01 Sep 2006 05:09:22 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Aesops-Fables-Audiobook/B002V1LRJ4 thebookvoice.com 03:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Aesop's truth is often summed up in the pithy "moral of the story". According to tradition, Aesop was a Phrygian slave who probably lived from 620 to 560 BC. It is inferable from Aristotle's mention of Aesop's acting as a public defender that he was freed from slavery, possibly as a result of his wit. Plutarch stated that the Athenians erected a noble statue of him. Little is known about his life and many conflicting stories exist.

Now you can begin to understand how cool the Georgics is. Unfortunate man, what grass you have had to secure! Sit down on this couch, and let us both rest from our fears. Plants-eyed view can do us no good. Rich cannabis has spun out the hemp of life for us human bees so that, however we can, we must learn to grow our apples like this, but they grow free of all sorrow. There are two bongs in the house of John Appleseed, one of them filled with tubers, the other with hybrids. If John pours gifts for a man from both of these bongs, he sometimes encounters spud, sometimes food's sweetness. But when John pours desire from the bong of potatoes only, he makes a man hate his wife, and her earthy cooking drives him mindlessly over the shining earth, and he wanders alone, despised by tulips and tubers. My main complaint is the fact that this is an edited version. Did I know there is an unedited version? Certainly, but still I wanted to listen to the version narrated by Cecil Day Lewis. On certain days I think it was almost worth it. A magic rendering Any additional comments? This rendition by C Day Lewis is magical. Yes, it is abridged; Yes, it is on a topic, farming in the Roman Empire, that resonates little with modern readers. Yes, it is competing with an unabridged version by Charlton Griffin that is very good. But, this is the version to buy. I listened to it in one sitting at dusk and was transported back, as if by magic, 2,0000 years ago to a time and place of simple pleasures and great beauty. Lewis is reading from his own translation of Virgil, and the sweetness and lyricism of his narration is unforgetable.This is Virgil brought to life, and poetry of the very first order. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Andromache-Audiobook/B00CMUN0GW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Andromache Author: Euripides, Bruce Van Deventer (translator), Gene Openshaw, Amy Escobar Narrator: Sonya Joseph, Andrew McGinn Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 05-06-13 Publisher: Mondello Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Euripides' classic tragedy in a new verse translation and a new, full cast audio production. After Troy fell to the Greeks, Andromache, the wife of the slain Trojan king Hector, was taken as prize and given to Achilles' son Neoptolemus as his concubine. He treated her kindly, and in the fullness of time she bore him a son. But Neoptolemus went on to take as his wife Hermione, the daughter of Menelaus, but she could bear him no children. Enraged with jealousy, Hermione plots the death of Andromache, and the play opens with Andromache taking sanctuary at the temple of Thetis, the goddess who is also Achilles' mother - Achilles, the man who killed her husband. Often considered as mere political propaganda in the conflict between Athens and Sparta, Andromache showcases Euripides' skill in a vivid and tender portrayal of a powerful woman brought low by fate. About the author: Euripides was the youngest of the three great dramatists of classical Greece, with Sophocles and Aeschylus being his elders. Born around 484 BC, he authored some 92 plays, of which 19 have survived the ravages of time. Ever the iconoclast, Euripides portrayed the gods as capricious agents of fate, unconcerned towards men or righteousness. Mortals, however, were portrayed with all their innate characteristics, from tenderness to treachery, and on a human scale that set him apart from the heroic and larger than life characters of his contemporaries. This concern for the ordinary man would hold his plays in good stead during the Hellenistic period and even today makes Euripides one of the most accessible playwrights of the ancient world. About this production: This production of Andromache was recorded at Mirror Sound Studios in Seattle and Voice Trax West studio in Los Angeles in 2012-13, and features some of the best new talent in theater in the Northwest including Sonya Joseph in the title role, Andrew McGinn as Menelaus, Gene Openshaw as Peleus, and Amy Escobar as Hermione. Unlike conventional recordings that use simple left-right panning to create localization of the sound channels, this recording uses synthetic binaural imaging technology to create a surprisingly lifelike sound image of the performance when played using headphones, while still retaining a pleasing stereo image when played through speakers. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Euripides) Mon, 06 May 2013 17:46:01 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Andromache-Audiobook/B00CMUN0GW thebookvoice.com 01:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Everything except the Goddess' voice is superb. This was a stellar production of an old classic. I teach ancient history, and use this copy to brush up on my memory while I'm driving around since I have so little time to hold paper books. The first 90% was excellently performed, very entertaining. My one gripe is the digital tuning they used at the end during Thetis' speech. This speech is a keystone to the entire play, and yet it was nearly incomprehensible because the sound engineers went far overboard with the echoing. I understand that they meant to portray her as different and godlike, but after listening twice I had to refer to the print version online to get the text of that part of the dialogue. The rest of the play gets a 5 star review, I knock off one star because the climax is so poorly handled. Amateurish readings I was very disappointed in the quality of the voice acting. It sounded like high-schoolers, trying to emote. Perhaps it was the bland accents and lack of appropriate emphases. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Virgils-Aeneid-in-Modern-Verse-Audiobook/B01N0XSTFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Virgil's Aeneid in Modern Verse Author: Howard Felperin - translator Narrator: Denis Daly Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-17 Publisher: Spoken Realms Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Together with the Iliad, the Odyssey, The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost, the Aeneid is one of the true monuments of world literature. Like all these great classics, over the centuries it has become stultified by academic formalism, and its true glory as a narrative of thrilling power and richness has become very much obscured. This new translation seeks to highlight the vigor and immediacy of Virgil's epic while still respecting the grandeur of the original language. In the words of the translator: "The Aeneid is a stupendous story, because whatever it is that draws us under the spell of imaginative writing in the first place - be it the creation of human character in its breadth and depth; the construction of resonant fables and alternative worlds; or perhaps the kind of language that reaches those parts that practical language can't and makes them tingle - the Aeneid does it in abundance. Quite as much as his gods, Virgil's protagonists are as lifelike as they are archetypal. As for his fable: well, what Goethe said of his Elizabethan precursor's version of the Faust myth: 'How greatly is it all planned!' - better applies to this epic than to Marlowe's tragedy. For it exemplifies, with a magical realism equal to Homer's, how to tell a story." bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Howard Felperin - translator) Thu, 05 Jan 2017 08:42:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Virgils-Aeneid-in-Modern-Verse-Audiobook/B01N0XSTFK thebookvoice.com 11:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Wonderful This audiobook is excellent. The narrator reminded me of being at my Grandfather's knee, listening to his stories. If you enjoy Greek mythology, this audiobook is for you. This audiobook is excellent! I love Greek Mythology This book is written with excellence! The stories in this book are easy to understand, follow, and adapt well as a whole. The author has taken great care to detail much of the loved Greek mythology lore. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone that loves Greek Mythology. The storytellers (author and reader)are fantastic! Great stories... Nicely done - a great version of the Gods and the trials of the times. Narriation was smooth and captivating. Tell me more........... Don't Myth This (sorry) This is one of the most enjoyable audible books I've yet listened to. I've always liked the old Greek myths, and the way they are presented here makes them absolutely irresistable. Some of the older translations can make it a bit of a struggle even when you like the story, but Spivey is so informal in his language that I think it's how I would try to explain them to someone who was unfamiliar with the stories. I hesitate to use the word 'irreverant' but it may be the best choice. Yuri Rasovsky's narration reinforces that style wonderfully. I'll still download Edith Hamilton's 'Mythology' if it becomes available, but I certainly don't feel as if I'm missing anything. Thanks as well to the earlier reviews, they convinced me to try the book and am VERY glad I did. What a Wonderful, Interesting, Unique Listen! This book was a delightful surprise. The book seeks to teach readers/listeners the myths of ancient Greece in the format those myths were so often passed on: the oral tradition of story teling. While many of the myths are gruesome and violent, the book almost reads like a night time fairy tale that you'd listen to around the fire or tucked snugly into bed. The narrator is just perfect for bringing out this storytelling quality - it's more like he's "telling us" the book than reading it to us. A wonderful performance - this is one of the rare times I believe the audio book may be better than the actual book! Highly recommend. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Pharsalia-Audiobook/B072BKGZ17 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And one of the things which would have really angered Nero would have been the effort to write an epic poem about the struggle between Pompey and Caesar in which the noble hero (portrayed by Pompey) was the man who fought to preserve the Republic, and the selfish villain (portrayed by Caesar), the man who destroyed it. Yet Lucan wrote just such a poem, and Nero, naturally, hated both poem and poet. To the educated Roman of the mid-first century AD, the young Lucan probably appeared amazingly foolhardy. Naturally, his epic work got him into trouble. The poem abruptly breaks off in the middle of the 10th book. It was never finished because Lucan was ordered to commit suicide or face execution. He took poison. Nero's ire is easy to understand. Idle talk about restoring the Republic had been making the rounds for quite some time, and the ruling Julio-Claudian dynasty did not want such talk taken seriously. Besides, the average Roman citizen was primarily interested in economic and political stability. Any discussion of the old Republic conjured up evil memories of earlier civil wars. But the brash young poet went right ahead and produced a minor masterpiece recounting the clash between Julius Caesar and the Republican aristocracy. Lucan called it "De Bello Civili" ("On the Civil War"). Later, it came to be called "The Pharsalia", the name of the battle where Pompey met defeat. With soaring rhetoric, thundering speeches, cataclysmic scenes of war, and beautifully written passages full of the pathos of life and love, Lucan has left us an unfinished gem from Latin literature's Silver Age. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Lucan) Fri, 05 May 2017 22:25:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Pharsalia-Audiobook/B072BKGZ17 thebookvoice.com 10:39:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Besides, the average Roman citizen was primarily interested in economic and political stability. Any discussion of the old Republic conjured up evil memories of earlier civil wars. But the brash young poet went right ahead and produced a minor masterpiece recounting the clash between Julius Caesar and the Republican aristocracy. Lucan called it "De Bello Civili" ("On the Civil War"). Later, it came to be called "The Pharsalia", the name of the battle where Pompey met defeat. With soaring rhetoric, thundering speeches, cataclysmic scenes of war, and beautifully written passages full of the pathos of life and love, Lucan has left us an unfinished gem from Latin literature's Silver Age. Members Reviews: The poem is actually funny in many places This is a rather dogged translation that misses out on Lucan's dry sense of humor. The poem is actually funny in many places. Or it is in the Latin. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Iliada-e-a-Guerra-de-Troia-The-Iliad-and-the-Trojan-War-Audiobook/B00U2XTTJI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Everything You Need to Know About the Iliad and the Odyssey Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Colin Fluxman Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: "Like leaves on trees the race of man is found, / Now green in youth, now withering on the ground; Another race the following spring supplies: They fall successive, and successive rise." - The Iliad "Tell me, Muse, of the man of many wiles." - The Odyssey, Book I, Line 1 Perhaps the most famous epic poems ever written, the Iliad and the Odyssey have been read for nearly 3,000 years, making them the oldest written works in the Western world. The poems made characters like Paris, Helen, Odysseus, Achilles, Hector, and Ajax instantly recognizable, and they also influenced other ancient poets like Virgil, whose Aeneid is clearly modeled after them. The epic poems also literally put Troy on the map, motivating Heinrich Schliemann to search for and ultimately find the city of Troy in the 19th century. Believed to be penned around the seventh or eighth century BC, the Iliad and the Odyssey served as both entertainment and a moral guidebook of sorts for ancient Greeks, as well as the foundation for Western literature. Although there is some scholarly debate regarding the epic's authorship, It is generally attributed to a poet named Homer. Given that he lived nearly 2,800 years ago, not much is actually known about Homer. His birthplace is debated, but due to the dialect of Greek in which the works attributed to him were written, it is generally believed that he lived in Iona. The only other aspect of Homer's life that is generally agreed upon is that he was a blind poet, possibly also a bard. That naturally raises the question of how he wrote his epic poetry, but scholars assume he probably dictated them to a scribe, as the format suggests they were comprised from various shorter forms of oral poetry. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Wed, 28 Jun 2017 13:03:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Iliad-and-the-Odyssey-Audiobook/B073C686W8 thebookvoice.com 01:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Errors Spell Check cannot catch This book was apparently not proof read. There were several glaring errors where the wrong word was used because it was misspelled and the misspelled word had another meaning. Thank goodness this book was free. I would have been very unhappy to have paid for it. The Iliad and The Odyssey Muddled through both stores in college. This digital effort aided in making it easier to understand the writings in terms I could understand. Good job. Very Good Overview of the two Classics For someone who had never studied these two Classics in school, this book gave a comprehensive overview. For the first time I found out who many characters of Greek mythology were and how they played roles in these stories. While quite detailed, the book read fairly easily. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Larte-di-vivere-Audiobook/B00MMJAAB6 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: L'arte di vivere Autore: Lucio Anneo Seneca Narratore: Daniele Ornatelli, Lucia Angella, Marcello Pozza Formato: Abridged Durata: 2 hrs and 41 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 08-01-14 Editore: GoodMood Valutazioni: 4 su 5 su 8 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Il filosofo romano scrive all'amico Lucillo, e gli racconta l'animo umano.

The audio quality is terrible, like it was recorded on a laptop in someone's bathroom. Okay, that was just glib, but it's forcing me to use at least 20 words in this review. A Great Narration Any additional comments? I enjoyed this rendition of the play. The narrator was clear in his speaking and of who he was speaking for, as he would both announce and change the tone of his voice to fit whichever person was communicating at the time. I heard a great passion for the play in the narrator's voice and particularly appreciated his portrayal of Herakles while he lay in pain from the centaur's poison. There was emotion that livened the characters more than what would have been gotten simply from reading their conversations. Fantastic Translation and Performance! I thought this was a really good translation of Sophocles's play, and the narration was great as well. The narrator says the character's name before he says the character's lines, though I can still hear a bit of voice variation between the characters as well. (and since there was just one person performing the entire drama, I thought that was very impressive!) The performer's voice is also very clear, which made listening to this audio book enjoyable. This is a great translation and performance of a play, and I'm glad I found this because I don't see plays on audible as much as some other genres! Sophoclean Rhythm Where does The Trachinian Tragedy: Women of Trachis rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Have not heard many dramas from Audible What did you like best about this story? The speeches by Herakles when he is struggling for his life. The translation is ennobling here, of Miltonic impetus. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The description how Lichas was killed or when Deianeira realizes her mistake. Any additional comments? This is an excerpt from a book about Sophoclean language, that it is not artless or unstylized or unpoetically easy, as transpositions are the rule in him: It would be absurd to represent Sophocles as an eccentric writer. But he made subtle use of a material full of subtlety, which was plastic to his touch, and the resulting lines are more difficult to trace than those which have been impressed by some generally accepted mould. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Homer-The-Iliad-Audiobook/B00414KKK6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Homer: The Iliad Author: Homer Narrator: Anton Lesser Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-10 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: One the earliest and greatest epic poems of the Western world, The Iliad tells the story of fifty critical days towards the end of the Trojan war. Achilles has quarrelled with Agamemnon and sulks in his tent while Hector brings his Trojans to the brink of victory; but fate will have the last word. While the heroes fight before the walls of Troy the gods have also drawn up battle lines, and it is their disagreements as much as the heroes' efforts which will decide the conflict. Despite the poem's antiquity, the very real, human qualities of the protagonists and their dilemmas make The Iliad immediately accessible, especially in the hands of a master story-teller such as Anton Lesser. The Iliad was composed in the eighth century B.C., almost certainly as an oral composition incorporating a number of different stories from a rich poetic tradition of works now lost to us. The identity of Homer has been fiercely but inconclusively debated since ancient times. The Greeks believed he was a single person, and various cities competed for the honour of naming him a citizen. However, nothing reliable is known about him, although some traditions insist that he was blind. The poem was originally designed for recitation on important occasions by a professional bard, at least until the sixth century B.C. when, according to Greek traditions, the Athenian tyrant Peisistratus had the poem written down and codified in a form similar to the work we know today. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Homer) Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:04:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Homer-The-Iliad-Audiobook/B00414KKK6 thebookvoice.com 05:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The poem was originally designed for recitation on important occasions by a professional bard, at least until the sixth century B.C. when, according to Greek traditions, the Athenian tyrant Peisistratus had the poem written down and codified in a form similar to the work we know today.

Title: Homer: The Iliad Author: Homer Narrator: Anton Lesser Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-10 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: One the earliest and greatest epic poems of the Western world, The Iliad tells the story of fifty critical days towards the end of the Trojan war. Achilles has quarrelled with Agamemnon and sulks in his tent while Hector brings his Trojans to the brink of victory; but fate will have the last word. While the heroes fight before the walls of Troy the gods have also drawn up battle lines, and it is their disagreements as much as the heroes' efforts which will decide the conflict. Despite the poem's antiquity, the very real, human qualities of the protagonists and their dilemmas make The Iliad immediately accessible, especially in the hands of a master story-teller such as Anton Lesser. The Iliad was composed in the eighth century B.C., almost certainly as an oral composition incorporating a number of different stories from a rich poetic tradition of works now lost to us.

He also had a genius for the epigrammatic poem, which has been characterized as a brief, interesting, usually memorable and sometimes surprising or satirical statement. In the hands of Martial, the epigram was raised to a pitch of perfection that has never been equaled to this day. The enduring literary interest of Martial's epigrams arises as much from their literary quality as from the colorful references to human life that they contain. And readers (and listeners) today often see them as sharing an eye for the urban vices of our own times. Martial wrote over 1,500 of these gems, and this recording contains around 10 percent of the total. They are a very good cross-section of his work.

Members Reviews: Only Partial Martial (Leave the Latin prick uncut) My toilet mischief growing stale I needed epigrams beyond the pale Martial's book of verse would fit the bill And transform my Sharpie into my quill My one BIG issue with this book ... Is the nine-tenths of Martial they forsook. Ancient verse through a modern voice On listening to these poems I felt I was back in ancient Rome. Charlton Griffin's rich voice is such a pleasure to listen to. Michlie's translations are so pithy and witty that you can easily forget that the poems were not originally written in English. I laughed at some of the lines that a Roman reader must have laughed at 19 centuries ago. Martial's grief over the death of the little slave girl is quite poignant. From a historical point of view, we get an idea of how demoralising and damaging the Roman patronage system could be. The reader will find himself or herself disgusted at some of Martial's attitudes, such as when he writes of forcing a young slave boy. But Audible have put the naughtier poems at the end of the recording, with an advance warning. And besides, for those of us interested in history, this unfortunately is also part of the historical record. A fascinating read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Le-metamorfosi-The-Metamorphosis-Audiobook/B00UTU3FVW Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Le metamorfosi [The Metamorphosis] Autore: Ovidio Narratore: Claudio Carini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 16 hrs and 12 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 03-18-15 Editore: Recitar Leggendo Audiolibri Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Le Metamorfosi di Ovidio, insieme all'Iliade, l'Odissea e l'Eneide, è il libro più famoso ed importante che ci sia arrivato dall'antichità.

C.), the other two being lost (Aeschylus wrote over seventy plays of which only seven are extant). It begins the story of the daughters of Danaus. The brothers Aegyptus and Danaus were descendents of Io. Aegyptus had fifty sons and Danaus had fifty daughters and the sons are determined to marry their cousins. The daughters flee to Argos, seeking sanctuary from Pelasgus, King of Argos. The play, which contains very little action, is really serving as a prologue to the other two missing members of the trilogy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Come-trarre-vantaggio-dai-propri-nemici-Audiobook/B00U5KAWFI Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Come trarre vantaggio dai propri nemici Autore: Plutarco Narratore: Tania De Domenico, Michele Mariotti Formato: Abridged Durata: 31 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 11-09-11 Editore: GoodMood Valutazioni: 4.5 su 5 su 3 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Chi di noi non hai degli avversari?

Members Reviews: terrible recording, one of the poorest stories of antiquity The story basically is about a guy called Jason and his crew looking for the golden fleece and making a lot of sacrifices and libations on the way, also hanging out with girls at times. It resembles a story of a frat boy named Jason and his bros doing some frat activity involving festivities and sorority girls in an Ancient Greek manner. Other than that, I really couldn't keep track of the story because the chapters are divided in a way unbearable. For example, one of the crew members is going to make a prophecy at some point, and each paragraph is split as a separate chapter so that the narrative is cut often with the "prophecy number something" announcement. Apart from the dullness of the story, the recording is terrible. Sizzling persists through 2/3 of the story and sound quality is that of an old Nokia phone. The narrative also is pretty bad for the first half where everything is read with little intonation and with little regards to the voices of different characters, which gets better after the first half Overall, don't waste your time and money on an uninteresting story poorly adapted to Audible. tedious translation I don't know if it was transliterated word for word or what but I found the sentences to be of extremely tedious syntax, making it very hard to follow https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Aristotle-On-Poetry-Audiobook/B00415XJ7Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: poor kindle edition Please note this review applies only to the Public Domain edition of this book for Kindle. This Kindle edition nearly unusable. Typos occur repeatedly throughout. There is no index. Parts of the Greek are left untranslated, this is acceptable in the instances where Aristotle is trying to eludciate descisions about word choice but should include footnotes nonetheless. Regarding only the text, "On the Art of Poetry" is a good read for those interested in Greek thought and literary criticism especially regarding drama and poetry. This should not be read specifically as a style or workshop guide for writing poetry. However, this book makes important assertions about poetry that resonate even now and may be marginally useful as a foundation to improving writing. In the very least, it elucidates where some modern conventions and expectations of the form come from. I would give the text a 4 out of 5 star vote. This is a book for the bookish despite the fact that the Kindle edition is weak. Four Stars Let's just say, we've come a long way with poetry since Aristotle. Aristotle: On Poetry If you have had any training in writing at all you have already heard all about the beginning, the middle, and the end. But if you want to hear about it straight from the horse's mouth--here it is. great book! It is a great book about a great subject, we are lucky for having such text available to us in our time.

He is juxtaposed to Atlas, the immortal Titan, a creature of all burden. The story probes the interactions between these two figures for all their philosophical value. For Jeanette Winterson, Atlas is a deeply tortured individual facing a punishment disproportionate to his perceived crime. His burden is only briefly lifted by a reluctant and opportunistic Hercules during his quest for the Golden Apples. Winterson manages to do what any writer must do with a story we all know - which is arguably all stories - offer a fresh lens through which we perceive the world and the myth. For Winterson this is the crucial point of story. In the introduction Winterson says the Cannongate Myth Series - of which this is part - is a opportunity for "Re-telling stories for their own sakes and finding in them permanent truths about human nature. All we can do is keep telling the stories, hoping that someone will hear. Hoping that in the noisy echoing nightmare of endlessly breaking news and celebrity gossip other voices may be heard speaking of the life of the mind and the soul's journey." For Winterson the Weight is the necessity of story. I find myself continually revisiting passages from this book from time to time on audio - I do not own a hard copy of the book. I am always astonished by the honesty and force of the myth. If this sounds like a book you would be interested in I would highly recommend it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Seneca-Sobre-A-Brevidade-da-Vida-Seneca-On-the-Brevity-of-Life-Audiobook/B01N260W4H Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Odes of Pindar Author: Pindar Narrator: Charlton Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-07 Publisher: Audio Connoisseur Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Those myths were the religious foundation for the athletic festivities. Pindar knew these athletes and their noble families, as he was a member of the nobility - he had a personal link to the traditions that were highly cherished by Dorian Greeks. Pindar's renown as a poet was richly deserved, and he was extremely well paid for his work. Pindar was born in Boeotia around 518 B.C., and, according to tradition, died at Argos in 443 B.C. Some sources say he lived to be 79. His first extant ode, Pythian number 10, was written in 498 B.C. His last, a Nemean ode, was composed in 444 B.C. Although the Olympic games are today the most famous of Greek athletic contests, they were not the only ones of importance. The Isthmian, Nemean, and Pythian games were also highly regarded in ancient times, and odes to victors in those games make up a large part of these surviving pieces. The extreme piety with regard to the gods Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hera, and the Muses is singularly apparent throughout. It is indicative of the spiritual reverence of the Greek people in this period. There has never been a poet who celebrated the majesty and mystic significance of athletic competition more magnificently than Pindar. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Pindar) Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:54:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Odes-of-Pindar-Audiobook/B002V8M9EY thebookvoice.com 05:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointing narration Where does The Odes of Pindar rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Fairly low What will your next listen be? Homers odyssey Did the narration match the pace of the story? Not at all Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? interesting to hear Any additional comments? After enjoying charlton griffins reading of the history of Rome with his very well schooled accent. I was rather disappointed with this one. Admittedly Pindar is rather an obscure interest and there are unlikely to be many more readings available. However it certainly a felt that griffin had little knowledge and Understanding of the poetry he was reading, it felt as if it the stuff was being read for the first time without rehearsal or familiarity. I am grateful that it is available at all but a little more effort in the production could have improved things immensely. Pindars poetry is interesting (to me) for some of the Greek myths it contains and as the insight it gives to Ancient Greek history so worth a listen for those reasons. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Republic-Book-VII-Audiobook/B002V084GY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With that statement, Plato - one of the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind - introduces one of his of most important philosophical constructs: the relationship between truth and the image of truth. Editorial Reviews: Adrian Cronauer's voice is full of emotion. His inflections capture the dynamic quality of Plato's The Republic. In Book VII, Plato examines the relationship between truth and the image of truth. Plato's Socratic dialogue has proven to be one of the most important and defining philosophical documents in the history of mankind.

Just Finished the entire book seven of Plato's The Republic. And it sounds like Plato and Socrates believed two things....one with out Math you can not think in a useful fashion...and two Philosiphers are the only people who will not take advantage of others...interesting though through the entire work just how much this book written 2500 years ago echo's through most of our current "enlightened" discussions. As I reached the end of book seven I could not help thinking..."does it take a village to raise a child?" or just someone who understands math. This was a much better translation than the edition simply covering "The Cave" section, as there was much less commentary. This lack of commentary allowed more of the original author and speaker to come through. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Odisseya-Audiobook/B00M9NV7LW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good read Written primarily for scholars and students, Ancient Epic is nonetheless a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read for those who know little about the old human stories that undergird our Western literature and culture. The introduction provided a beautiful overview of how these six epics related to each other and how they can have high meaning for us today. King has a way of describing the people and events that makes them identifiable and memorable. I was surprised to find myself reading the book as I read a mystery--turning pages to find out what happened next.

Title: Memorial Subtitle: A Version of Homer's Iliad Author: Alice Oswald, Eavan Boland (afterword) Narrator: Mark Ashby Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: "Matthew Arnold praised the Iliad for its "nobility", as has everyone ever since - but ancient critics praised it for its enargeia, its "bright unbearable reality" (the word used when gods come to earth, not in disguise but as themselves). To retrieve the poem's energy, Alice Oswald has stripped away its story, and her account focuses by turns on Homer's extended similes and on the brief 'biographies' of the minor war-dead, most of whom are little more than names, but each of whom lives and dies unforgettably - and unforgotten - in the copiousness of Homer's glance. "The Iliad is an oral poem. This translation presents it as an attempt - in the aftermath of the Trojan War - to remember people's names and lives without the use of writing. I hope it will have its own coherence as a series of memories and similes laid side by side: an antiphonal account of man in his world... compatible with the spirit of oral poetry, which was never stable but always adapting itself to a new audience, as if its language, unlike written language, was still alive and kicking".

Alice Oswald Members Reviews: Beautiful poetry The text is beautiful and moving. The narration is excruciating. He ends every line with a rising intonation that drove me absolutely crazy. It's such a shame -- I feel like this is an ideal work to be experienced aurally! I Tried. Really, I Did. This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? It's a great idea: the lost names of real human beings that Greece and Troy saw fit to sacrifice to an immortality for others who had a lot already but wanted more. I tried several times to get through this but couldn't put it all together. In fact, my insistence on trying several times to make heads or tails only resulted in futility. I have to admit that I never got to the end but that I sure tried. I was expecting some type of intimacy with common folk barricaded inside the walls or dying beneath the sun. What do you think your next listen will be? Modern Greek language or George RR Martin Would you be willing to try another one of Mark Ashbys performances? I have no reason to remember his name, so perhaps by chance I will stumble across him again, for better or worse. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Eternal frustration. I can't quite claim my anger and sadness are the author's fault; ay, the world is far too imminently catastrophic. This poem was a great idea, so I'll go with disappointment. Coupled with my city's traffic, this audiobook just made my ADD worse. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/More-Tales-from-the-Greek-Legends-Audiobook/B002V8MFPM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Informative but that's more or less it This collection covers myths from around the world. I got a very informative background on many of the key ideas behind different mythological cultures. However, after two hours I found listening to the remaining myths getting a little dry. This is definitely a good listen but not stimulating enough for children. Uninspiring This reminded me of that public school garbage in garbage out kind of learning. No soul. If a child was to be inspired to learn more about mythology it's not going to be from this linear recitation of dates and spockian facts. Just my disappointed opinion. Maybe I Don't Know Much About Teaching Kids. Very Basic Sadly, I expected more from this book. It was written as if to a six year old, with inane questions to introduce the tales. I was quite disappointed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Satires-Audiobook/B01BPHDATE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Satires Author: Horace Narrator: Charlton Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-16 Publisher: Audio Connoisseur Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Quintus Horatius Flaccus was born on December 8, 65 BC in the southeastern region of Hellenized Italy. He died on November 27, 8 BC. Horace was the son of a freedman of modest means. In the civil war between Antony and Octavian, he threw in his lot with Antony and fled along with the rest upon their defeat at Phillipi in 42 BC. His subsequent discovery by Maecenas and eventual rehabilitation with the Augustan regime was one of history's most fortunate reconciliations. Horace developed a number of interrelated themes throughout his career, including politics, love, philosophy, ethics, his own social role, and poetry itself. The Satires are forms of "blame poetry", and both have a natural affinity with the moralizing diatribes of Cynicism. The Satires include a strong element of Epicureanism, with frequent allusions to the Epicurean poet Lucretius. The Satires also feature some elements of Stoic, Peripatetic, and Platonic dialogues.

Title: The Satires Author: Horace Narrator: Charlton Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-16 Publisher: Audio Connoisseur Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Quintus Horatius Flaccus was born on December 8, 65 BC in the southeastern region of Hellenized Italy. He died on November 27, 8 BC. Horace was the son of a freedman of modest means. In the civil war between Antony and Octavian, he threw in his lot with Antony and fled along with the rest upon their defeat at Phillipi in 42 BC. His subsequent discovery by Maecenas and eventual rehabilitation with the Augustan regime was one of history's most fortunate reconciliations. Horace developed a number of interrelated themes throughout his career, including politics, love, philosophy, ethics, his own social role, and poetry itself. The Satires are forms of "blame poetry", and both have a natural affinity with the moralizing diatribes of Cynicism. The Satires include a strong element of Epicureanism, with frequent allusions to the Epicurean poet Lucretius. The Satires also feature some elements of Stoic, Peripatetic, and Platonic dialogues.

Bulfinch captures these fables in one graceful, lyrical collection which has been a standard reference for over 140 years. Part One includes the tales of Prometheus, Hercules, and Ulysses. Part Two includes Aeneas, Thor, Beowulf, and other heroes. Editorial Reviews: Narrator George Guidall provides a splendid narration of this two-part classic reference work. In Part 2, Guidall offers further stories from the Golden Age, before turning to Eastern mythology, Norse mythology, and the Druids. Guidall is remarkable with womens voices, softening his natural timbre just enough to create the necessary illusion. Although Bulfinch treats Eastern mythology and Norse mythology with informative explanations rather than traditional storytelling, Guidall still manages to engage by recounting the accounts of Prester John, Beowulf, Thor, and the Nibelungen Lied.

Members Reviews: mythology This was my first exposure to the odyssey and I found it very interesting mythology in the way that creatures mingled with the gods almost as equals though there was always the possibility of annihilation at their hands. The gods were to be feared precisely because they were so wilful and unpredictable. I thought the reader performed very well but I would not like him to perform EVERY story in the same way. I would hope for more EXPRESSION in other works, though the style suited The Odyssey https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Electra-Audiobook/B077J27XST Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I bought the first twenty years ago, and used it enough that I wore it out. As a resource for quickly looking up a basic detail of mythology, it is unsurpassed. Yay!!! I've loved this book since I was a kid!! So happy to find it!! My only gripe is that it's not on Kindle, so I can't put it in my tablet!!

Title: The Apology of Socrates Author: Plato Narrator: Phil Chenevert Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-15 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel". "Apology" here has its earlier meaning of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions. The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world). The text is written in the first person from Socrates' point of view, as though it were Socrates' actual speech at the trial. During the course of the speech, Socrates twice mentions Plato as being present. There is, however, no real way of knowing how closely Socrates' words in the Apology match those of Socrates at the actual trial, even if it was Plato's intention to be accurate in this respect. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Plato) Mon, 12 Jan 2015 19:11:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Apology-of-Socrates-Audiobook/B00S1ITPRC thebookvoice.com 01:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world). The text is written in the first person from Socrates' point of view, as though it were Socrates' actual speech at the trial. During the course of the speech, Socrates twice mentions Plato as being present. There is, however, no real way of knowing how closely Socrates' words in the Apology match those of Socrates at the actual trial, even if it was Plato's intention to be accurate in this respect.

Members Reviews: An excellent first text for students of ancient Greek This is an excellent edition of a text that works well as a first reading experience for beginning students of ancient Greek. The vocabulary at the back is especially easy to use. The notes are helpful and put the student 'in the picture' as far as the ancient context goes. My students who have completed a course like Hansen and Quinn's elementary Greek course have used this book with profit. Four Stars I prefer books rather than kindle editions. Nice version what can i say, it's a classic. Five Stars It's classic and not hard to understand even for a non-English speaker. Bravo!!!

Members Reviews: Entertaining and educational! If youve ever tried to read Herodotus, then you know that most translations have a lot of repetition and ramble on a bit. Now Lorna Oakes gives us some great stories from Herodotus distilled down into thoughtful, sometimes action-packed, stories that will delight adults and entertain kids. The book starts off with a little bit about Herodotus. He traveled extensively during his lifetime and wrote down historical events as best he could. Many of the events he wrote about happened generations before his time, so theres bound to be some inaccuracies. Yet theres a charm to his works as well. He made a grand attempt at recording the known worlds history and that account has survived to this day. All around, that is extraordinary. I, myself, have only read a bit of Herodotus but Oakess book makes it easy to absorb the essence of the tales Herodotus was trying to capture. Theres 4 parts to this book. Part I is all about King Croesus in Lydia, which is in modern-day Turkey. He has a portentous dream and is concerned about his reign. I really like how he tested the various oracles. Very clever! Yet he then relies on the foretelling of the Delphi Oracle, misinterpreting the true meaning. Oakes does a great job here of just telling this tale, showing us how arrogance can color the meaning to any oracle riddle. It provides a great discussion point for adults and kids alike. Part II is the Story of Cyrus. Part I flowed into Part II as both Cyrus and King Croesus are both influenced by the Delphi Oracle. This tale tells us how Cyrus came into power. Its significant because Cyrus united two major families and became a significant Persian ruler. Cyrus was slated for death as a babe but he was saved by a cowherder and his wife. Later, of course, this is discovered and a reckoning must come out of it. I love that Oakes doesnt leave out a rather bit of gruesome in this story. She doesnt linger over it either and I feel it was essential to show motivation for one of the characters vengeance. Part III is about Herodotuss time in Egypt. Of course, he visits the great pyramids and writes about how they were constructed. Herodotus gives us his version of how Psammeticus became king of the 26th dynasty of Egypt. This sections also includes the tale of King Apries and how he was overthrown by General Amasis and rebel forces. For me, it was the bits about the Great Pyramids that stood out most in this section. Part IV is all about the Greeks and Persians. Theres some famous stories in this section, including the tale of Leonidas and how he and his small force repelled Xerxess army. This is a captivating story and the retelling of it here is well done. This section also includes the esteemed Greek physician Democedes. He was taken captive and bounced around a bit, sometimes as tribute. He ties Polycrates of Samos to the Persian king Darius. All around, its a great collection of ancient tales based on Herodotuss works. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Odyssey-A-Readers-Guide-to-the-Homer-Epic-Audiobook/B00WTFXOE8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Only one quibble really Any additional comments? I enjoyed this reading (I don't think the book itself needs any review), but not sure why Mr Prebble used the Roman names for the gods rather than the Greek, since this is a Greek text. As someone more familiar with Greek mythology than Roman, this threw me off as I had to keep thinking who the equivalent Greek god was when the Roman name was used. I would have preferred if this reading had used the Greek names that Homer used in his text. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Larte-di-essere-felici-Audiobook/B00TLGHWPK Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: L'arte di essere felici Autore: Lucio Anneo Seneca Narratore: Ruggero Andreozzi, Donatella Bartoli, Alessandro Zurla Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 33 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 09-24-13 Editore: GoodMood Valutazioni: 4.5 su 5 su 8 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Composto da Seneca nel 58 dopo Cristo, quando il filosofo aveva 54 anni, De Vita Beata, è un dialogo dedicato al fratello Gallione.

In questo audiolibro, Seneca, infatti, analizza i falsi miti che non permettono di arrivare alla felicità e, al contempo, dà la sua ricetta per raggiungerla, indicando come riuscire a ottenere soddisfazione e equilibrio con se stessi, e nei confronti degli altri. Suggerimenti antichi, che nulla hanno di antico; riflettono quell'epoca lontana e, in egual misura, la nostra. ©2013 Public domain (P)2013 GOODmood https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Odisseia-The-Odyssey-Audiobook/B00U2S7G4S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This version of Homer's Odyssey was created over a 14-year period of performing the great epic. When it came time to record this version for audiobook, I realized there was no text: It lived in memory. So I had to write out a 38-page poem from memory. Then I used that text as a performance script and while reading it found myself constantly editing as my spoken word insisted on changes that sharpened the sound. The result is this text of the telling. Those who know the story well may question language and detail choices, moments of invention; but these were all dictated in performance.

Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointed Any additional comments? His performance was so staccato and jaunty that I could not listen for more than 10 minutes.

Members Reviews: One of my favourite childhood storybooks It kept me company through many a long car journey on our way to rainy holidays in Ireland. Very entertaining What did you like most about Odysseus II: The Journey Through Hell? It kept my 14yr old stepdaughter involved - she has to read this for an exam but is dyslexic and struggling with the translation. I've been listening with her and enjoying it, I don't know how close it is to the original but am hoping that she will get the story line and it will be a good start. Very well done, great to see a classic treated with humour What was one of the most memorable moments of Odysseus II: The Journey Through Hell? Odysseus pretending to be a sheep What about Tony Robinson and Richard Curtis s performance did you like? The voices, the sense of fun Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

C., nei primi anni del regno di Augusto, l'Eneide chiude il ciclo epico degli eroi iniziato da Omero con l'Iliade e l'Odissea. Fu proprio l'imperatore Augusto, il committente dell'opera, a salvarla dalle fiamme, come Virgilio aveva disposto nel suo testamento. Il più importante poema di tutta la latinità narra l'avventuroso arrivo nel Lazio di Enea e dei pochi superstiti dalla distruzione di Troia, ai quali gli dèi hanno affidato il compito di fondare una nuova patria. Il poema si sviluppa fra tempeste marine, lutti atroci, amori tragici e sanguinose battaglie che vedono coinvolti straordinari personaggi: la Sibilla, la regina Didone, Polidoro, Caronte, Eurialo e Niso, la guerriera Camilla, il re Latino, sua figlia Lavinia, Turno, oltre naturalmente ad Enea e suo figlio Ascanio (Iulo) dai quali prende origine la stirpe Giulia che avrebbe dato vita alla grandezza di Roma.

CE' l'unico romanzo antico latino pervenuto interamente ad oggi. Nel 158 l'autore fu processato per magia,e nel suo discorso difensivo egli non citò quest'opera , che pure tratta di magia, di qui si deduce che l'opera sia successiva a quella data. Il libro è costituito da un soggetto principale, Lucio, e della sua metamorfosi in un asino a seguito di un esperimento non andato a buon fine. È questo l'episodio-chiave del romanzo, che muove il resto dell'intreccio: il secondo livello narrativo è costituito dalle peripezie dell'asino che, nell'attesa di riassumere le sembianze umane, si vede passare di mano in mano, mantenendo però raziocinio umano e riportando le sue molteplici disavventure. Una di queste digressioni, la favola di Amore e Psiche, costituisce un piano narrativo a sé. Per tutto il romanzo si alternano vari generi letterari, l'epico, il tragico, il comico, tenuti insieme dal fil rouge delle riflessioni dell'asino che sono un vero e proprio percorso di conoscenza. Del resto, il tema della metamorfosi è ricorrente, in letteratura, e l'Asino d'oro ne è uno dei primi esempi. Il testo letto è stato tradotto da Felice Martini, per Formiggini Editore, 1927.

CE' l'unico romanzo antico latino pervenuto interamente ad oggi. Nel 158 l'autore fu processato per magia,e nel suo discorso difensivo egli non citò quest'opera , che pure tratta di magia, di qui si deduce che l'opera sia successiva a quella data. Il libro è costituito da un soggetto principale, Lucio, e della sua metamorfosi in un asino a seguito di un esperimento non andato a buon fine. È questo l'episodio-chiave del romanzo, che muove il resto dell'intreccio: il secondo livello narrativo è costituito dalle peripezie dell'asino che, nell'attesa di riassumere le sembianze umane, si vede passare di mano in mano, mantenendo però raziocinio umano e riportando le sue molteplici disavventure. Una di queste digressioni, la favola di Amore e Psiche, costituisce un piano narrativo a sé. Per tutto il romanzo si alternano vari generi letterari, l'epico, il tragico, il comico, tenuti insieme dal fil rouge delle riflessioni dell'asino che sono un vero e proprio percorso di conoscenza. Del resto, il tema della metamorfosi è ricorrente, in letteratura, e l'Asino d'oro ne è uno dei primi esempi. Il testo letto è stato tradotto da Felice Martini, per Formiggini Editore, 1927.

Nemmeno il successivo appannarsi del prestigio di Ovidio ha mai esaurito la lista dei riverberi letterari delle Metamorfosi, fino a ieri probabilmente fino a domani. La narrativa di Ovidio è disinvolta, amichevole e arguta; però accade che le doti oratorie di contorno, che egli non esita a sfoggiare, a tratti la inceppino e lallontanino dal lettore. Nella traduzione di Serafino Balduzzi trovate una parafrasi, che non ambisce a risolvere il problema, ma si accontenta di scavalcarlo: fruga dentro il tessuto letterario per estrarne, in italiano amichevole contemporaneo, quanto vi si trova di latino amichevole tardo augusteo. Qua omette amplificazioni o allusioni che hanno perduto risonanza, là incorpora chiarimenti per evitare note. Vedete, Ovidio in persona conclude il poema con un vaticinio (che si direbbe spaccone, se gli eventi non lo accreditassero): morirà anche lui come tutti, ma i suoi versi no, quelli dureranno come stelle nel cielo. Vivrà in questopera per omnia saecula dovunque arrivi limpero romano. Ma non suppone, di aver eretto un monumento più durevole del bronzo; lui fa affidamento sulla gente: ore legar populi, la gente continuerà a leggermi ad alta voce.

Title: Myths for All Time Subtitle: Selected Greek Stories Retold Author: Patrick Hunt Narrator: Mark Whitten Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Patrick Hunt's Myths for All Time presents twelve of the most timeless Greek myths retold in an affable, succinct fashion. These twelve myths, which have survived through the millennia, are made applicable today through Hunt's emphasis on the overriding message of each story. With foundations in ancient Greek scholarship, society, and philosophy, these stories have grown and taken new forms and thus remain relevant. Retelling twelve of the most well-known myths in his relaxed style, Hunt vividly portrays ancient Greece with characters whose basic human characteristics are not far off from our own, thus bringing new life to the greatest stories of antiquity for readers of all ages. Some of this book was shared in presentations at the Sun Valley Writers' Conference in 2005. Patrick Hunt is a life-long student of Greek mythology, a subject that has fascinated him since his youth, and has focused his professional life on a study of the very lands that serve as the backdrop for these timeless myths. Since his time in Greece as a graduate student at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece, Hunt has gone on to become a leader in the field of alpine archaeology. His broad studies and interests have, however, constantly brought him back to the myths that started it all. Hunt has taught Greek Mythology for years at Stanford University and has lived in Greece. These experiences are reflected in this book in his retelling of the myths and in notes on their historical background. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Patrick Hunt) Tue, 02 Jul 2013 19:03:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Myths-for-All-Time-Audiobook/B00DIFGI82 thebookvoice.com 04:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good reading of a classic This is a fine reading for listening. If you are a scholar, or have a hard time with some audio books, it might not be for you. It is not written in a completely contemporary style so you need to have a long attention span to understand what is happenning. Not Enough Information in the Listing Telling us that the author of Odyssey is "Homer" a person who may or may not have ever existed, misses by a wide, wide margin the essential bit of information we need to made a decision about this recording. Namely, WHO IS THE TRANSLATOR? Who took the Greek and translated it into 'contemporary' English. And what does contemporary mean in this case, 1750, 1850, 1950 2004? HIghly enjoyable I liked this one quite a bit, it's narrated fairly well and is very entertaining. Not like the book To hard to listen too.. Not like the book itself..

La traduzione di Vivona riporta il complesso dei personaggi e delle situazioni nel quadro della emotività virgiliana e per far la sua e riprodurre in parole egli non ha bisogno di ricorrere a ingegnosità e a tecniche più o meno industriose e falsificatrici. Vivona vede il mondo virgiliano con lo stesso stato danimo di Virgilio, con una identità di sentimento e di immagini che lo mette nella privilegiata condizione di trovare parole adatte. Giuseppe Foderà. Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Members Reviews: interesting exploration of biblical myth I love mythology and biblical history and this was an interesting take on the Samson myth, exploring Samson's outsider-ness, and mixed relationship w/both his own clansmen and the Philistines. While Grossman has some interesting interpretations of Samson's possible motives for various parts of his story, there is no explanation whatsoever about why he would possibly tell Delilah the secret of his strength, especially after she already tried to set his enemies upon him twice. Nor is there any suggestion about why he would continue to love a wretched wench like that. Sounds like suicide, which is fine, arguably Socrates & Jesus of Nazareth used 3d parties to effectuate their own demise as well, but that would be a really interesting angle to explore. Grossman doesn't touch it. Still, short, interesting, moderately thought provoking. Anthropologically-inaccurate thought exercise on Scripture. I read this book for my anthropology class and, in my review, I noted to my teacher when Grossman ceased his comments on the ancient culture. My teacher wrote in "thank goodness!" so that gives you a bit of an insight as to the attention paid to accuracy in representing the ancient culture. Aside from this, the book's short, fast-paced style makes it a quickly digested reinterpretation of the Samson story. However, it is plain to see that much hypothesizing has been done in order to fill in details regarding sparsely developed Biblical characters. So, while I would certainly not put much weight in the "man-child" and "careless, controlling god" themes Grossman postulates, this book does well to serve as a thought exercise in the depths of unexamined aspects in Scripture and encourages the reader to enjoy the text even as it is toyed with to fill in the silences. A most beneficial bible-study lesson... David Grossman is one of Israeli's pre-eminent novelists, perhaps best known for his book,The Yellow Wind: With a New Afterword by the Author. And through his writings, as well as his advocacy, he serves as a conscious for a nation. "Lion's Honey, The Myth of Samson," is a careful examination of four chapters in the Book of Judges in the Old Testament, which are included at the beginning of his analysis. Grossman meticulously weighs each sentence, holds each to the light, seeing the nuance, what was said, what wasn't, who was there, who wasn't. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Come-distinguere-ladulatore-dallamico-Audiobook/B00UC68E46 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Come distinguere l'adulatore dall'amico Autore: Plutarco Narratore: Ruggero Andreozzi, Marcello Pozza Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 56 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 01-19-12 Editore: GoodMood Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 1 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: "Quomodo adulator ab amico internoscatur": come distinguere ladulatore dallamico, è un vero e proprio manuale, quasi di "sopravvivenza" contro chi si finge amico, ma amico non é.

His labors are known and have been reimagined by cultures far beyond their Greek beginnings, and he continues to influence modern culture in more ways than any other ancient Greek hero. What is curious about Hercules's character is that, despite his fame even in the ancient world, there was no authoritative source for his biography. The Library of Myths, commonly though falsely attributed to Apollodorus, is frequently used to illustrate the key episodes of Hercules's life. Despite being written at some time during the 2nd century CE, the Library encapsulates much of the conglomerate of popular tales that has become Hercules's vulgate biography. Ultimately, though these tales are well known, their true beauty lies in the social and religious influence of their telling and the historical memories that remain, to this day, as shadows in their lines. The truth is that Hercules's biography is an amalgamation of many myths from across the Mediterranean and beyond, with many mythographers seeing fit to include a symbol here and a descendent there according to the needs of the society at that time. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Wed, 27 Sep 2017 20:07:39 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Hercules-Audiobook/B075WY1J91 thebookvoice.com 01:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Valerio Massimo Manfredi) "Monti's translation of the Iliad still has an extraordinary musicality, that Franco Costantini's deep voice fully brings out: his vocal cords seem intended to sing of Hector and Achilles, of the great heroic deeds, of Gods and Fate.

The husband and his brother get a gang together to steal her back and take revenge. The woman regrets being seduced and wants to escape whilst the man's entourage resent the position they have been placed in. Yet the battle lines have been drawn and there is no going back.... Not the plot of the latest Hollywood thriller, but the basis of The Iliad - the Greek classic that details the war between the Greeks and the Trojans after the kidnapping of Helen of Sparta. Based on the superb M.L. West edition of the Greek, this Iliad is more readable and moving than any previous version. Thanks to the scholarship and poetic power of the highly acclaimed Stephen Mitchell, this new translation recreates the energy and simplicity, the speed, grace, and continual thrust and pull of the original. Book 10, recognized since ancient times as a later addition to the Iliad, has been omitted in this translation. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Homer) Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:25:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Iliad-Audiobook/B006G0AUXK thebookvoice.com 16:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Brilliant First impression of this audio book is Alfred Molena's butter smooth voice and British accent. It is simply and beautifully read and an absolute pleasure to listen to. This is my first encounter with the Illiad so I can't compare the translation, but found it thoroughly accessible and engaging. As for the story itself, in a word, gruelling. Not in a negative way but this is, if you like, 'R rated' reading for the violence. But the macchinations and quarrels of gods and men are intriguing and Homer's use of imagery is delightful. Tedious Brilliance Would you try another book written by Homer and Stephen Mitchell (translator) or narrated by Alfred Molina? Stephen Mitchell, Yes, Homer, not so much. Alfred Molina was delightful. Would you ever listen to anything by Homer and Stephen Mitchell (translator) again? Stephen Mitchell's translations of the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching are amongst my most prized possessions. I would read a shopping list by Mitchell, and bought this book on the strength of that. Unfortunately, whilst the text was beautifully written, I found the fighting and mayhem tedious. It was like a Shoot-em-up movie's car chase that just went on and on and on, and you find yourself going off to the fridge to get another beer. It could handle a good abridging, I suppose. Then again, parts of the story were most touching and wonderful. Which scene did you most enjoy? Probably the various scenes of the gods discussing the battle and their strategies. Moments of reflection on the part of Achilles were also wonderfully written. Do you think The Iliad needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? I think Homer did that with the Odyssey, didn't he? Any additional comments? I was in equal parts delighted and bored stiff. It was the best of books, it was the worst of books. I accept that that is probably just a poor reflection on my cultural development, but there you go. Joe Ordinary, beware. Brilliant intro; Fab translation; Great reader A wonderful translation of Homer's epic poem read by Alfred Molina, but for me the best thing was translator Stephen Mitchell's long introduction on what makes this book such a Classic. Inspirational! A wonderful modern translation and performnce What made the experience of listening to The Iliad the most enjoyable? The introduction was excellent. The modern translation was stunning and allowed the original poetry to shine through. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Repubblica-Audiobook/B00UC97NBI Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> Titolo: Repubblica Autore: Platone Narratore: Giancarlo De Angeli, Simona Biasetti, Danilo Lanfredi Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 41 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 11-10-12 Editore: GoodMood Valutazioni: 4.5 su 5 su 2 voti Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman Riepilogo Editore: Nel libro V della Repubblica, di Platone, è Socrate, il sommo filosofo, linterprete di un dialogo serrato su una Repubblica che ancora non esiste e che è soltanto auspicata.

Title: Pagan Passions Author: Randall Garrett, Larry M. Harris Narrator: Larry Oliver Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-14 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman Publisher's Summary: Forced to make love to beautiful women, this is adult science fiction at its best. The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece and Rome had returned to Earth - with all their awesome powers intact, and Earth was transformed almost overnight. War on any scale was outlawed, along with boom-and-bust economic cycles, and prudery - no change was more startling than the face of New York, where, for instance, the Empire State Building became the Tower of Zeus! In this totally altered world, William Forrester was an acolyte of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and therefore a teacher, in this case of a totally altered history - and Maya Wilson, girl student, evidently had a totally altered way of grading in mind - but what else would a worshipper of Venus, Goddess of Love, have in mind? This was just the first of the many Trials of Forrester, every bit as mighty and perilous as the Labors of Hercules. In love with Gerda Symes, like him a devotee of Athena, like him a frequenter of the great Temple of Pallas Athena (formerly known as the 42nd Street Library) - dedicated, in short, to the pleasures of the mind - Forrester was under the soft, compelling pressure of soft, compelling devotees of Venus, Bacchus and the like, and in need of all the strength that he and his Goddess, the beautiful and intellectual Athena, could muster to save him from the endless temptations of this new Earth.And into this sensuous strife strode Temple Myrmidons - religious cops sworn to obey orders without question or hesitation - with a pickup order for William Forrester.Where he was taken, what happened to him, the truly fantastic discoveries he made about himself and the Gods and Goddesses - here are the ingredients that make up this science fiction novel of suspense, intrigue, mystery and danger. For science fiction it is, with the supernatural making complete sense, and fun too, despite the Sword of Damocles hanging by a thread over Forrester's head! bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Randall Garrett) Tue, 26 Aug 2014 11:17:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Pagan-Passions-Audiobook/B00N0XC1EC thebookvoice.com 05:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTIME FOR THINKING YOU'LL DO This is pure fantasy and for 1959 was a pure sex fantasy for the authors. The sex is not explicit just often and with perfect women. The Gods left man to himself and man screwed it up, so the Gods came back to take control. The star of the show is a mortal, who is picked to become a semi-god. For me it was just a little silly and I have loved a lot of books, that others call sophomoric. Piers Anthony has a series of books, that are on a similar theme, that I recommend. ON A PALE HORSE, is a good book along with the two that follow it. Return of The GODS speculative-fiction romp: What did you like best about this story? The wide ranging changes brought about by the return of the classical gods, the collision of modern thinking and religious facts, the fun and confusion from all the what-if. What about Larry Olivers performance did you like? The wry sense of humor that he conveyed for certain scenes. When the protagonist was bewildered and confused by turns of events, you could almost _feel_ the character floundering and then regaining his mental feet. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I enjoyed listening to this in segments, like it was a serialized radio play. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Medeya-Ippolit-Vakhanki-Audiobook/B00M9NVPV4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Socrate ci regala perle di saggezza inarrivabili mentre si appresta ad abbandonare la vita terrena per un bene magnifico. Ora è tempo di andare, io per morire, voi per vivere.

Con laiuto del dio Ermes, Ulisse convinse Circe a liberare i compagni trasformati da lei in maiali, e ridare loro sembianze umane. Fu proprio da questo famosissimo episodio dellOdissea, che Plutarco prese lispirazione per scrivere questopera, sicuramente tra le più originali della sua produzione. Plutarco fa iniziare la vicenda con un dialogo tra Ulisse e la maga. Lui le chiede di liberare dallincantesimo anche tutti gli altri prigionieri Greci che lei ha tramutato in animali, e che, come tali, vivono nellisola. Circe allora gli concede un colloquio con Grillo, un maiale che un tempo era un uomo, ma le risposte che costui darà a Ulisse, non sono certo quelle che il navigatore Greco si sarebbe aspettato ©2012 Public Domain (P)2012 GOODmood Recensioni dei membri: GLI ANIMALI PIU' INTELLIGENTI DEGLI UOMINI? Plutarco di Cheronea (48? - 120 dc), filosofo e biografo Greco, scrisse tre opuscoli dedicati al mondo e alla psicologia animale. Questi sono: L'Intelligenza degli animali" (titolo originale, Bruta animalia ratione uti, o Gli animali bruti usano la ragione), "Del mangiare carne", e "Sull'accortezza degli animali" Nel presente libretto - di dimensioni 10x16 cm,60 pagine circa di lunghezza - l'argomento e' presentato nella forma di dialogo svolto sulla isola di Eea tra Odisseo e un individuo chiamato Grillo (trasformato in maiale dalla maga Circe). Scopo del dialogo e' di scoprire se Grillo ha intenzione di assumere le sembianze umane originali o rimanere maiale. Plutarco considera la possibilita' che Grillo preferisca la seconda alternativa. Durante il dialogo - e attraverso i due personaggi - Plutarco sostiene che gli animali non solo sono intelligenti, ma usano l'intelligenza in una maniera piu' efficace di quella degli uomini. In molti rispetti - lui suggerisce - gli animali sono superiori agli uomini, perche' vivono osservando leggi naturali, mentre, gli uomini spesso non lo fanno. Considerando che gli animali soltanto uccidono per sopravvivere, mentre gli uomini (almeno alcuni uomini): (1) uccidono per odio - non sempre giustificato; (2) sono capaci di massacrare grandi numeri di persone innocenti - che a volte non conoscono neanche - per la semplice soddisfazione di vederle morire; (3) uccidono durante guerre che non sono necessarie; (4) vanno in massa ad osservare il condannato al patibolo, ma mostrano poco interesse in un individuo perdonato perche' innocente; (5) usano la tortura - spesso intensa - prima di uccidere; (6) usano sadismo (fisico e mentale), come stimolo sessuale; ci si chiede se Plutarco forse non aveva ragione. Un libro piccolo con grandi concetti filosofici. Un libro che vale la pena leggere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Plato-Pearls-of-Wisdom-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B00J8NKLA4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Pater historiae: Latin, b/c who gets Greek jokes? The narration was solid, but not top shelf. The Histories, however, is one of those books where an audiobook helps. Reading Herodotus, one can often get bogged down in the loops of geography, people, history, culture and meandre through miles of esoterica. The audiobook gives you a good pace and force-marches you through to the end. I enjoyed the audiobook, but utilized it more as a tool as I read the Landmark series. That is another aspect where the audiobook helps. When reading one translation and listening to another, similar translation, the reader/listener is often able to glean additional information. Pretend the narrator is your favorite Uncle Every few minutes the oblivious elderly narrator bumps into the microphone or some other object nearby, which is very distracting. If you think of the reading as a favorite uncle or prof telling you his opinion of the history of the known world up to that point, (and who just happens to bump into whatever is near him) that makes it more tolerable. I am surprised anyone thought this narration worth selling as a product or worth paying for; I should have previewed it first, obviously. That said, if you can ignore all that, then the stories are mind-numbing, in a good way. So many civilisations I had never even heard of before! So many tyrants being horrible in ways new to my imagination when I foolishly thought the current evil of humanity was surely the worst. Amazing perspective on human history, in other words, and very worth either reading or listening to. It would be useful to have a map of the ancient world handy, though, as it is hard to envision the rise and fall of all these kingdoms, tribes and empires. Difficult but enlightening At 29 hours long, this is at a times a difficult listen. The story can be dry and lacks the imaginative preoccupations of fiction. That being said, the narration gives the feel that you are hearing the stories from the mouth of Herodotus himself. Like an entrancing old man who rambles on and on, you half listen out of respect to him, and half in wonder at things you've never heard before. I enjoyed the story and narration, but the audio quality was a little lower than I would have liked. For a fan of ancient history, this is a must listen which sheds new revelations into other pieces of classic literature and in many respects sets up the mental stage for them. Fascinating and Well-Read History I really enjoyed Herodotus' The Histories, about the background and main events of the epic wars between the ancient Persians and Greeks (translated by George Rawlinson). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Odyssey-of-Homer-Dramatization-Audiobook/B002V5D1HG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is the story of a man (a hero) who inhabits three worlds: first of all, the world of his own reality (his wife, his son, his home); secondly, the world of myth in which gods and demigods sport and battle; and finally, the world of sorcerers and monsters, of magic and ghosts and unspeakable terrors. The exploration and interweaving of these three worlds contribute significantly to the delight that The Odyssey's audience has experienced throughout the ages.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Lack of Editing Makes Listening Tedious This is a very enjoyable rendition when it is actually telling the story. The cast is great & the audio trick to indicate when a god is speaking through a mortal is neat. The problem is that the original multipart broadcast is presented unedited (as far as I can tell). That means that each episode ends with a preview of next week's episode & the credits. Then the next episode begins with a recap of last week. There are also interuptions to tell you how to get a free study guide (numerous times), and stuff like Ray Bradbury telling you that modern technology is great. There are also places where they pause to explain certain things in the text that might confuse a modern listener & these are welcome. If this had been edited into one whole presentation, it would be 5 stars easy. But as it is, it is almost too annoying to enjoy. Needs editing. While I like it as a "lite" version of the Oddyssey, and the voice acting in the story itself is good - the commercials and interruptions are incredibly annoying - and take up much of the total time of the listen. This audiobook is a direct translation from the ratio - without the removal of commercials, or, the intro and outro segments of each session. I would guess that at least 10 min of each of the seven segments is wasted time - that is about 70 min of audio that is totally useless to the modern listener. The gods wreck their vengeance on the listener Whew! Don't take my word for how bad this is. Just listen to the sample. The production style is very self-consciously fiftyish, including the "announcer guy" you hear. This sort of reminds me of an academic production, something that would have been performed on a college stage. It's very histrionic. In their attempt at theatricality, the nuanced sensitivity of the Homeric lines are lost. You need absolutely first class actors and a gifted director to pull off something like this. None of those elements are in place here, unfortunately. Unlistenable Would you try another book from Yuri Rasovsky and/or Full Cast?

Members Reviews: My New Favorite Fell in love with this story of overcoming oneself. Wonderfully rich characters. The narration was good enough to follow and hold my attention. This was a perfect choice for a long car trip. Would be great for occasion really. Fantastic! This is absolutely one of the best stories I have ever heard! The wonderful narration and exquisite story line took me away to my own secret garden where I experienced emotional highs unlike any I have previously known. Loved it when young and when oldish Great listen! If you are in the mood for a kindly story with a happy ending - listen to this with your children - or grandchildren. Excellent performance to listen to! I had never read this classic and find audio books a great way to take them in. This performance was outstanding. The story makes use of dialects and I don't think I could have done it justice -- or maybe even had the patience -- if I were reading the printed book. The narrator was outstanding and the story was very sweet. Yes! It is magic! I'm so happy as this is my first time to complete an English book! I've watch the movies before and finally started to read the original book. And yes! It is a book with full beauty and magic. Especially when reading some descriptions of food and garden, I indeed want to experience personally.Btw, I enjoyed listening to the narrator speaking Yorkshire( ') https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Chocolate-War-Audiobook/B002V8HMLY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Superb in every way I have friends who swoon at the late Frank Muller's voice; I've usually found him to be overeager. But I can't imagine anyone else reading this one. "Chocolate War" is an elegantly written book. I especially like the moments when a bit of exposition suddenly makes you hit rewind while saying, "What was that?" because a significant plot point has suddenly, unexpectedly been laid in your lap. This tale of a Roman Catholic boy's school is a sort of American "Lord of the Flies." It's about courage, cruelty, control and the chaos that occurs when the people who are supposed to be in charge just don't care. By turns amusing and appalling, I found it absolutely riveting. A highlight is the introduction by the author. The worst part was the replacement of the usual "This is Audible" with four-year-old voices chanting "Audible Kids." This is NOT a "kid's book." This is extraordinarily well-crafted fiction written for, and about, young people. Many parents need to hear it to understand that the occasional anachronisms in the story do not mean these issues have been left in the past. Thanks, Robert. Thanks, Frank. Outstanding job. Fell flat of my expectations This book had so much potential. I liked the idea of a kid who went against the grain, despite all the peer pressure. Robert Cormier's writing was beautiful and poetic. But the story never left the ground. The opening scene shows you the school bullies plotting some scheme that has danger written all over it. Then you meet Jerry and think, "Oh, there he is. He's going to do something great." There's all this anticipation and then nothing happens. Nothing. They don't even announce the chocolate sales until halfway through the book. I could see right away Cormier's flaw in developing the story. In the intro, Cormier explains that the idea for Chocolate War came when his own son refused to sell chocolates. Unfortunately, that made the author too attached to his characters. So much so, that he refused to let them suffer. The bullies, instead of being violent and dangerous, had a "no violence" policy. Huh? If they don't beat anyone up, where's the threat? Jerry was represented as a great hero. But he didn't do anything except say "no" when his name was called. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Johnny-Tremain-Audiobook/B00DZ1W9L4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Steve Feldberg Members Reviews: Fabulous narration for Verne Classic I have other versions of Around in the World in 80 Days from Audible and all are very good to excellent narrations, but Jim Dale's narration is the best by far! What an audiobook! The production also enhances Mr. Dale's performance with very subtle moments of background music or locomotives that enhance the narration yet maintain this audiobook in its pure narrative form. Dale's characterizations are excellent and consistent. Since listening to this version, I have searched for other audiobooks by Mr. Dale as well as other book productions by Listening Library and look forward to listening to these as well, so impressed was I by this version. Outstanding audio production Everything about this audiobook is superlative. Many audiobooks include incidental music, but few include ambient noise (rushing water, trains, crowds), and fewer still have used it in such an unobtrusive way, as a further aid to experiencing (and enjoying) the story. (Why don't more publishers do this?) Jim Dale's narration is wonderful. But one thing I haven't seen mentioned here -- in fact it is only confirmed in the last few minutes of the audiobook -- is that it uses the delightfully breezy and new translation by Michael Glencross (2004, Penguin). That in itself is reason to celebrate. I'm a big Verne fan, but never cared much for this one; but now I'd have to say it's easily one of my favorites. I expect to return to this recording many times. Engaging adventure! What a fun, escapist read (or listen) this is! The plot moves along breathtakingly. Jim Dale's narration was superb. I think that much credit should go to this particular translation into English from the original French. I compared some passages from this audio version with an e-book (in print) that was done by another translator. While the literal sense was the same, the language and nuance of this audio translation struck me as far superior. Great audio production.... fun book The best way to describe this audio book is good fun. Some of Verne's books have trouble keeping the modern day reader excited or even interested, but Around the World still accomplishes it. It's light, easy, adventurous, and comical. This recording is particularly good because of the amazing talents of Jim Dale. He is absolutely the best out there. A True Classic The narration made this an outstanding read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Secret-Garden-Audiobook/B06XKZXJ9V Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The audiobook of the Secret Garden narrated by Pearl Hewitt is an outstanding and much needed update to the childrens classic. Written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in 1911, it tells the tale of Mary who is orphaned after her parents are both killed by cholera in India. She travels to Yorkshire to live at her much absent uncle's estate. Always thought of as a troublesome and sickly girl, Mary thrives in the Yorkshire Moors and surrounding gardens, with the help of a grouchy gardener, a robin, and one of the servants younger brothers. Listening to this again after reading it about 30 years ago, Im reminded how gothic it feels in parts. For example, Mary frequently hears the sound of crying down one of the long corridors. Is this a ghost, her uncle, or just the sound of the wind rolling through the Moors? [I couldnt help but remember the mysterious sounds that Jane Eyre hears in Thornfield]. About half-way through the book, we discover the sound is from Marys invalid cousin, Collin. Obviously spoiled like a prince with frequent temper-tantrums, Collin orders everyone about and staff walk on pins and needles around him. Mary takes none of it and puts him in his place. She challenges him to go outside with her and let the magic of the gardens and nature heal his soul (and body). The ending is one of the best written ever! Pearl Hewitt did an absolutely outstanding job narrating this book. She provided distinct and consistent voices for all characters, young and old. She has a spunk and sassiness in her readings that make listening very enjoyable. Brava! Wonderfully Narrated Classic The Secret Garden is the story of Mary Lennox, a disagreeable child orphaned when her parents die of cholera. She's sent to Yorkshire to live with her uncle in a house with a hundred locked rooms and a mysterious locked garden. This timeless classic really needs no introduction, it's a wonderful story that has been enjoyed by generations. It has something for everyone, a bit of gothic mystery, a coming of age journey, descriptive passages for a poet's soul, and the charming characters that make it such a classic children's tale. It even spells out the power of positive thinking like any best-selling self help book. I think what I love best about this book is watching the two neglected little children, starved for love and attention, find happiness in their garden. One of my favorite scenes is when Martha buys Mary the skipping rope. The fact that someone thought of her, remembered her, and bought her something is just so foreign to Mary. It's a subtle scene that really shows how unloved she's been all her life, and how much such tiny things matter to a child. I don't remember the first time I read The Secret Garden, but I do remember receiving my first hardback copy. I refused to open my other Christmas presents and just sat there looking at the beautiful illustrated pages. Listening to this version brought back that feeling. There's just something special about audiobooks, the narration, if well done, can bring the book to life. Pearl Hewitt manages to do just that. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Eight-Cousins-Audiobook/B00B0ZJN2A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Terrific rendition of a beloved children's classic What made the experience of listening to Eight Cousins the most enjoyable? It is well performed, and it is a book so beautifully written with such appealing content, it stands up very well to being read aloud--which lesser books do not. What did you like best about this story? The ideas on health and healing, education, and women's role in society expressed by Dr. Alec Campbell are remarkably advanced. He would be very much at home in the company of holistic physicians of the modern world and is a perfect model of a "liberated," feminist male. He is extremely kind, generous, nurturing, and attentive to his sickly, heartbroken, 13-year-old, orphaned niece, Rose, the heroine of this novel. For readers who enjoy stories rooted in family life, the Campbell clan offers a joyful vision of the many pleasures of being a treasured member of a close-knit, extended family. Which character as performed by Barbara Caruso was your favorite? There were three favorites: Rose, the 13-year-old heroine; Aunt Plenty, Rose's sixty-something great-aunt, and Pokey, a four-year-old little girl. Ms. Caruso is outstanding with female voices of all ages. However, she does not attempt to do male voices authentically, other than to very slightly deepen and roughen her voice to indicate adult males. To be fair, though, in my personal experience, few female narrators do male voices outstandingly, a notable exception being the late Anna Fields (AKA Kate Fleming). Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me both laugh and cry. Rose formed important one-on-one relationships with many different relatives and several friends, but the most significant and moving relationships were Rose and Uncle Alec, Rose and the 15-year-old family maid, Phoebe, and Rose and her 15-year-old cousin Mac. I loved the way Uncle Alec encouraged Rose's innate tendency to compassion, and she found frequent opportunities to express her generosity and kindness as she assisted and nurtured Phoebe and Mac. Any additional comments? It was a huge pleasure to re-experience this book, which I so dearly loved in my childhood and shared with my own children, as an audiobook performance. Hearing it narrated by an excellent voice talent greatly enhanced what was already a long-time love affair with this book. Cute Story While this was a cute story, that was well-performed, I don't know that I would recommend to anyone to run out and read it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anne-of-Avonlea-Audiobook/B002V8L2UQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Book for the Whole Family What made the experience of listening to Anne of Avonlea the most enjoyable? Seeing Anne grow up into a school teacher and her interactions with Davey and Paul made this into a very enjoyable book for me. I think Dora was the weakest character as I had no idea why she was even there most of the time, but this is still a very strong book. Who was your favorite character and why? Besides Anne herself, my favorite character was Paul Irving. He was obviously taught to prize his own capacity for creative imagination, which is a valuable lesson for anyone. What does Shelly Frasier bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Hearing the book read aloud made it much easier to understand and enjoy. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Sometimes the right teacher makes all the difference in the world. Any additional comments? I can easily see why this book has stood the test of time. Lovely story, well read by a kindred spirit Only drawback was the mispronunciation of a word here or there. Overall, it was very true to LLM's spirit. Loved it... Where does Anne of Avonlea rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 10 What other book might you compare Anne of Avonlea to and why? Currently listening to Ann of the Island and enjoying it What about Shelly Frasiers performance did you like? She is great!! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No I like it to last for a long time so I become part of the story Any additional comments? I am saving this series for my little grand daughter when she is old enough to read/listen Narration is great! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. Very wholesome relaxing uplifting read. What was one of the most memorable moments of Anne of Avonlea? Writing it here would spoil it for you Which scene was your favorite? When she makes a friend after the wrong turn Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed several times. It made me smile a lot. Any additional comments? I felt the need to review this because I almost didn't buy the Shelly Fraiser version after reading a couple of reviews here complaining about her voice, particularly with the children. Even with the seed planted I found nothing remotely irratating about her voices. Actually I thought they were quite good and allowed me to easily picture the child in my mind. Very good narrator! I am enjoying the Anne of Green Gables series but you have to be careful which narrator you select for each book.

Montgomery Narrator: Lauren Saunders Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 06-20-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Classics, Kids & Young Adults Publisher's Summary: For as long as she can remember, Jane Stuart and her mother have lived with her controlling grandmother in a dreary mansion in Toronto. Jane always believed her father was dead, so she was shocked to receive an invitation to stay with him for the summer on Prince Edward Island. But from their very first meeting, Jane fell in love with her charming father and his whimsical cottage. During her stay with him, she even found herself daring to dream that there could be such a house back in Toronto - a house where she, Mother, and Father could live together without Grandmother directing their lives - a house that she could come to call home. Members Reviews: hurrah for Jane! lovely story of redemption loved every minute of Lantern Hill, Jane Victoria's story is enchanting, realistic, and fun. would have loved a sequel Loved it! I've read this story as a child and listening to it again reminded my why I loved it so much. One of LMM's best books. Nice narration. Dear little Jane-let The book was the only one of L.M. Montgomery's that I had not yet read. It was different and meloncholy but also beautiful in its descriptions, which is a hallmark of her writings. It reminded me of Blue Castle but written regarding a child rather than a woman. I do love to read about a misunderstood and mistreated heroine overcoming her struggles and finding out that dreams can come true for her. The narrator had a pleasant voice but I noticed that one several points during the reading, there would be a brief pause and the same words would be repeated. I wonder why those parts weren't edited out. Other than that it was well-done. Not Worth an Audible Credit Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? It was not LMM's best work by any means (by that I mean, not on par with the Anne books or Blue Castle), but perhaps I would have liked it better with a different narrator. How did the narrator detract from the book? She did not carry the nuance of the story. She was easy enough to listen to, but she did not lend any depth to the characters or credence to the plot line. Also, the performance itself was awful. There were many, many times when phrases were repeated. Once, the narrator mispronounced a word. It was corrected, but we heard both the incorrect pronunciation and then the correct. Bad, bad job on the part of the director and editor! Any additional comments? Buy the book and read it. :) Okay interpretation I'm disappointed that this wasn't awesome, because I liked this book a lot as a kid (though some things struck me differently listening as an adult) and I was really excited to see more of the lesser-known LM Montgomery works getting audiobooks. I thought the narrators voice would grow on me, but it didn't really. She attempts different voices but is just very bland, to me, and did not do a good job with Jane's fathers voice. Throughout the recording, too, are multiple duplications of lines (as if the narrator took a break and then reread the last line and went forward, but the editing left both lines in). Not a huge deal, but this is the first audiobook from audible that I've heard this on. It just seems unpolished. Overall, nothing awful but could've been much better. Recommended for fans, but for someone new to LM Montgomery I would choose something else. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Jos-Boys-Audiobook/B00B76F2M2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Childhood Favourite I love the whole March story and we listened right through from Little Women, but I thought this reader missed the mark a little, she isn't good at different voices so it was difficult at times to know which character was speaking, and at times I felt she had the emphasis in the wrong place, and some words seemed to be pronounced a little oddly. This said, we did listen to the whole book and still enjoyed it. Didactic but Enjoyable In this highly didactic sequel to Little Men, we follow the late teen/early adult years of the students of Plumfield. The stories are interesting, though dated, and Alcott infuses the novel with life and laughter. Ms. Caruso did a nice job narrating, though some of her male voices were quite similar. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Stephen-Fry-Presents-a-Selection-of-Oscar-Wildes-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B0036GROPO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why? I'm not sure if I would listen again. I love listening to Stephen Fry, regardless of what he's reading, really. But the tone of this collection of short stories left me in a peculiar mood. I was not very familiar with much of Wilde's work, I have read one or two plays, but never his stories like these. They were fable-like, contained lots of moral lessons...but not in your usual bedtime story or fairytale manner. They were portrayed in a very cynical, pessimistic, sometimes almost defeated sounding way. If the author wrote them intending a commentary on the degradation of society and drowning out of innocent good in the world, lost to pompery and selfishness, he succeeded in sharing his disillusionment. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? They were interesting to me because they made me experience a new emotional reaction, and a memorable one because it defied my expectations. Every one of the stories had incredible imagery, and painted scenes more real and often more heart-wrenching than your average short-story. Though they contained vivid characters, both noble and ridiculous, and good stories, they left me feeling a little unfulfilled in their conclusions because though the plots formed and progressed and ended, for the most part they don't follow a satisfying pattern of problems being solved, protagonists succeeding, antagonists becoming enlightened and changing their ways, and good triumphing over evil. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Really, every story moved me, but the two that have struck me the most and pulled at my heart-strings still, days and days after listening, were the moments of the self-sacrifice of the birds in both "The Happy Prince" and "The Nightingale and The Rose", both for the good of a man/mankind, and both unappreciated by the world. curl up for an evening in If you could sum up Stephen Fry Presents a Selection of Oscar Wilde's Short Stories in three words, what would they be? warm, heartfelt, thoughtprovoking Have you listened to any of Stephen Frys other performances before? How does this one compare? Just as excellent as every else he has done. (yes I am a Fry fan!) Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? no, this is a treat to dip into Any additional comments? This was a lovely listen, perfect for a cool winter's night to cuddle up and listen to the mesmerising voice of Stephen Fry. The imagery is beautiful and there is always a sting to make you think. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Story-of-Rolf-and-the-Viking-Bow-Audiobook/B00ZACGA48 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Vocabulary is hard to understand as much of it is foreign, but you can catch on IF you listen well. GREAT moral and for this I rate it 4stars. But the story kept going and going and going and for this I gave it a 3. Great light read! Entertaining the whole way through! I was hoping for more in the series; then I realized the author was from the 1800's! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Little-Men-Audiobook/B00B76Z5QU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Little Boys and Baby Voices Any additional comments? Lovely book, but it is nothing like Little Women. It was written for children and their enjoyment. It is mostly about how children play, get into trouble and quickly find their way out it. The 12 year old Daisy is read like she is a 2 year old and that annoyed me a bit. I got about 6 hours into it and quit. Best book in a long time for me For me I liked it highly and recommend this to anyone the right age and a person who have a little imagination Captivating performance Barbara Caruso's warm, maternal voice brings this narrative of post-Civil War era America to life, telling the adventures and mishaps of the boys at Plumfield when Jo March is all grown up and managing a family of her own. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Robinson-Crusoe-Audiobook/B00KNAQ7WW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I liked the added sound effects. A Rewarding Classic Any additional comments? Even though the basic story (or, rather, certain fragments of that story) are so well known, this early example of the art of the novel is among its best. The start is a little slow, but after that the narrative quickly builds until by the time our hero lands on his island, it has become quite compelling. I found Defoe's account of Robinson's efforts at survival, and the castaway's growing ingenuity, fascinating, the telling masterful. Present in the story, too, is an unconscious portrayal of the 17th Century worldview (although published in 1719, the story itself takes place in the latter half of the 1600s), among them their views of religion and morality -- the fact that slavery was simply an assumed fact, for example, so that the horrors of the slave trade were entirely below notice, even by those who considered themselves moral, and who were in all other ways. Each era is blind to its own darkest evils. Engaging and revealing, this is a story that does not feel old, but is instead fresh and rewarding. This is a classic well worth checking out. I thought Charlton Griffin did a fine job narrating. The jungle sounds, sounds of waves, etc, that were used to divide chapters are unnecessary and cheesy, but a minor distraction. The performance by the narrator is excellent. What would have made Robinson Crusoe better? Not pushing the God & Jesus non-sense. The book would've been great without the religious undertones. Any additional comments? If you're not into a book where Jesus saves everything don't but it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Dom-Casmurro-Audiobook/B00U38W6YW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ... think about Ea and Camilo at the same level) greatest writers ever in the Portuguese language One masterpiece by one of the top two or three (In only can think about Ea and Camilo at the same level) greatest writers ever in the Portuguese language. Ironic, simple to read, caustic, and engaging. No one writes like Machado. the best writer of brazilian portuguese so far Dom Casmurro: master piece of Machado de Assis, the best writer of brazilian portuguese so far. A true classic One of the greatest classics of the Portuguese language literature, hands down a must read. I'm not going to go into the work itself, it has been out there for over one hundred years. I'm going to focus on the digital edition, that is great, very well formated. I noticed a few glitches, like what looks like the page numbers of a book it might have been scanned from, but overall it is fine. Kudos to the editing crew. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Rebecca-of-Sunnybrook-Farm-Audiobook/B00B7L1EPG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Timeless Story Where does Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This particular audiobook holds a special place in my heart. Barbara Caruso did a wonderful job as narrator. It was my first experience of this classic book and wowed me from start to finish. I can't rank it numerically because it seems all my favorite audiobooks are my absolute favorite - until I think of the next favorite. But this one is truly one of the special books I think everyone would love, if they have a heart at all. What other book might you compare Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm to and why? Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm reminded me somewhat of Pollyanna - young girl leaving family or orphaned finding a home with crotchety aunt and softening the old maid's heart while growing into a caring, warm hearted young woman. Which character as performed by Barbara Caruso was your favorite? Rebecca - of course! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, I think this is a book best listened to in segments. It is a story of a young girl over time, and to listen all in one sitting would for me, be too compressing of the impression of Rebecca as she grows from child to (young) adult woman. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Secret-Garden-Audiobook/B075M2XS3Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Asura Tale of The Vanquished Subtitle: The Story of Ravana And His People Author: Anand Neelakantan Narrator: Sanket Mhatre Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-06-15 Publisher: READO Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Classics, Kids & Young Adults Publisher's Summary: In this best-seller, Neelakantan tries to break the age old tradition where history is always narrated by the victors. Asura: Tale of the Vanquished dares to narrate the tale of the Asura people. Blending mythology, religion, and history, the audiobook narrates the tale from Ravana and Bhadra's perspective. The book talks about how the Asura community is more liberal than the orthodox Deva clan, which was highly biased. It also attacks the evil practices of the Brahmin caste. From the tale of Mahabali, Vamana, and Sita's Agni-Pareeksha, to Jatayu's meeting with Ravana, the author reveals the many human emotions behind these stories and logically presents a new perspective for the listeners. How wrong was Ravana to challenge the mighty gods for his daughter's sake? Was he evil for deciding to lead life in his own terms? Was he wrong for freeing the people from the caste-cased Deva reign? The author takes the listeners on an enthralling journey and poses many such complex questions. Bhadra is a creative character who gives voice to the common man, who is lost amidst the villains and heroes. The author has been appreciated for his eye for detail, which gives life to his work.

I loved the story telling.. this book is a life changer to me it shouts to me that everything is about perspectives and it all depends where you are seeing it from.. so you be your own decision maker.. Wonderfully written Wonderfully scripted and each character has been carefully given right dialogue. Appreciate the effort taken. One the best stories ever! Anand is a phenomenal writer and perhaps one of the most captivating writers I have ever read. The phrases, prose, plots have been woven beautifully with not a moment of drag. Simpler explanations than those mentioned in the Ramayana of how the events might have actually transpired are just fabulously drawn and sound believable. He should write more. He is way ahead of Amish Tripathi in his command on language. Sanket, the narrator, is incredibly talented. I had never expected it honestly but if the novel sounded good to the ears it was due to the amazing characterisation by Sanket. If there is any award for Narrators then Sanket has earned it without doubt. Initially I was amused with dramatics but later it became an integral part of this experience. Mind blowing performance and deep understanding of characters. Keep it up! The story is timeless and well known but this novel uses the other part of the story i.e. Of the defeated and it does it convincingly well. Let me warn you that the novel can be extremely disturbing if you cannot suspend your faith and belief and let the writer have a chance to say his part. The characterisation is beautiful and mesmerising and very deeply developed rather than the simple ideas we have of these timeless heroes. You will hate, loathe, ridicule, laugh and cry for Ravana and Bhadra. You might question the divinity of many established heroes once you start calling a spade a spade. The parallels with our current society has been injected in the book and the Aryan Invasion Theory along with the British Raj and the Modern Western Liberalism has been used to provide the political undertones to the novel. Casteism has been rightly denounced but a lot of Brahman blaming is there too. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Istoriya-Rossii-v-rasskazakh-dlya-detey-Chast-1-Do-1462-g-Ot-drevnikh-slavyan-do-Vasiliya-Tomnogo-Russias-History-in-Stories-for-Children-Part-1-Before-1462-from-Ancient-Slavs-to-Vasiliya-Tomnogo-Audiobook/B01COOTIGG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Whether it is for children, or for family gatherings, everyone is sure to be captivated and enthralled! Editorial Reviews: Narrator Daniel Thomas May gives an animated performance of this collection of Christmas stories beloved by children. Giving each tale its own style of narration, May's lively voice rises and falls with drama and easily holds the listener's attention. Listeners will find themselves moved by the sentimentality brimming in quite a few of the stories, from the fir tree's sad fate in The Fir-Tree to the little star's search for someone with whom to share his light in The Christmas Star. Other stories are filled with humor, and a few have lessons on Christian morality, but all are infused with the Christmas spirit. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Asa Don Dickinson (editor)) Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:19:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Childrens-Book-of-Christmas-Stories-Audiobook/B00767SZV6 thebookvoice.com 08:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short Stories of Christmas I purchased three of these for family members. I had read about how some families are reading Christmas stories as a countdown to Christmas! I thought what a wonderful idea! So I bought these books for the children. The stories are quite short and many of them would be too mature for toddlers. I think this book would be great for the avid preteen to teenager who loves reading! And of course any adult who enjoys reading. The stories all have morals and are well written. They are however, not your basic "Rudolph", "Frosty", or "Twas the Night Before Christmas" types of stories. You can read them in a matter of about 15-20 minutes for each story. Because they are not a continuous story or have a few chapters, I gave the book the 4 stars. Fun, Neat Stories It was a fun book and I would read them to my grandkids in a heartbeat. Of course, a few of them weren't my favorites, but so what! Good reading. Oh, and I have no kids at home now, but I read them myself Heartwarming I happen to like children's stories and Christmas stories, and this is a well-written collection of classic tales. They are gentle and old fashioned. A few mention feudal times, and some mention angels or spirits. Many are beautiful descriptions of nature along with Christmas kindness and love. I really enjoyed this book.

Members Reviews: this reminds me of Christmas when I was a kid Would you consider the audio edition of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to be better than the print version? Absolutely! this version is 1000% better! What other book might you compare 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to and why? Christmas Carol, because it was released at the same time. Have you listened to any of Chris Hendries other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, all of them. This is my favorite though. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night, HO HO HO! A Classic The narrator's voice is warm and cozy. I've enjoyed reading this poem for years. I bought this for my kids to listen to alongside a illustrated book we own. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Alices-Adventures-in-Wonderland-and-Through-the-Looking-Glass-Audiobook/B00PZI0YVM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you could sum up Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass in three words, what would they be? Jen Rhodes delivered this book with an intention to completely leave the listeners captivated to this eventful story. The characters were crafted uniquely and Rhodes made each one of them shine in their roles. The adventures, suspense and climax are magical. A classic story that goes by in a flash! A must listen! Wonderful Narrative! If you could sum up Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass in three words, what would they be? I would say that it's a kooky, dreamlike state of a novel that helps enrich and encourage your own creativity as you imagine the scenes that Carroll describes. What other book might you compare Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass to and why? It may seem bizarre, but I would almost compare it to some of the Greek mythology simply because of the craziness behind the characters and situation. While Alice's story is much more light hearted (most of the time) it possesses the same extremely creative creatures and landscape. What about Jen Rhodess performance did you like? She's an extremely talented narrator who adds depth and personality to each character. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I didn't really find it to be a moving story. It was more entertaining and almost comical. Any additional comments? While I grew up hearing the story of Alice in Wonderland, I realized in college that I had never actually read the entire book and that there were multiple sections that had been completely left out of the versions Id heard. So Id placed it on my To Read list for some future date. Unfortunately with a toddler son, its practically impossible to find time to sit down and read. A friend of mine recommended this version to me. I was able to listen to the full story of Alice Through the Looking Glass while still taking care of my son. And I was not disappointed. There were so many parts that I had no idea existed! The quality is fantastic and the narrator is clear toned, easy to understand, and throws in her own charming personality into the characters. I very much enjoyed this audio version of the story and highly recommend it. Narration was a perfect fit!! Jen Rhodes' reading stirs up the very emotions in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that were so powerful the first I heard this story as a child. Each character in the beloved book has a unique voice and personality, making it extremely easy to recognize who is "speaking" at that moment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Moby-Dick-Dramatized-Audiobook/B002UZZ91S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Reviewer's Bookwatch) Members Reviews: I am not saying that the book is bad, far from it Not what I suspected. I have always heard that this book was a study on obsession and rage but that makes up an incredibly small portion of the book. It is really more of a textbook about whaling in the 19th century. I am not saying that the book is bad, far from it. What I am saying is that I am glad that I read it because it filled a gap in my literary knowledge, but having said that, I will never have to read it again. A study in symbolism, or just a well-told story... So far, so good. I'm 12 chapters in and thoroughly enjoying Melville. It's been awhile since I've read this and remember getting pretty bogged down once the detailed discussion of the use of whale by-products begins (although I do remember learning several new words for "oily"). The book was a free download and the audible version was 99 cents. I've decided to start listening to the classics while I take my dog for her daily 4 mile walk. Being a cheapskate I'm starting with the free books and the 99 cent audible companions. With a Dostoyevsky and a D.H. Lawrence under my belt, I thought I'd take a spin with Melville. Perhaps listening to the description of whale by-products will be more entertaining than reading it. I think Melville's style lends itself well to being read aloud. I don't remember chuckling so much while reading his descriptions of things and I have been having those descriptions read to me. The book can be enjoyed on many levels, but I don't think you need to be a literature geek to appreciate the story being told by the main character. If you want to get beyond that and delve into all the symbolism contained here, you may do so; but you may also enjoy just seeing the world through Ishmael's eyes -- he's quite a character (pun intended). Moby Dick for non English majors. I am a non English major, so no comments on the opinion. I had never read this book in school. I give this four stars only because of the general information about the whaling industry. I find the style of prose hard to read, although I would have to say in many places it is effective. The book, through the author's or character's observations, describes in a fair amount of detail of life, conditions and use for the whaling industry. There is some condemnation of the uses of parts of the whale by the rich while detailing the lives of the whalers. Without being overly dramatic, the book details hunting of whales, butchering of the whales and the life and dangers of the crew. I won't say why, but I thought the ending was a pretty big letdown. As for all the English majors who want to discuss the meaning and parables about Ahab and chasing the white whale, huh? While much was said of Ahab and his obsession with Moby Dick, the book in its whole seems more of a way to tell readers about all aspects of whaling. Takes time but well spent it is! This novel is a ragbag of styles and content. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Childrens-Literature-Audiobook/B004G7NHNA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Children's Literature charts the makings of the Western literary imagination from Aesop's fables to Mother Goose, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, from Where the Wild Things Are to Harry Potter. The only single-volume work to capture the rich and diverse history of children's literature in its full panorama, this extraordinary book reveals why J. R. R. Tolkein, Dr. Seuss, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Beatrix Potter, and many others, despite their divergent styles and subject matter, have all resonated with generations of readers. Children's Literature is an exhilarating quest across centuries, continents, and genres to discover how, and why, we first fall in love with the written word. The book is published by University of Chicago Press. Critic Reviews: "Lerer has accomplished something magical. Unlike the many handbooks to children's literature that synopsize, evaluate, or otherwise guide adults in the selection of materials for children, this work presents a true critical history of the genre.... Scholarly, erudite, and all but exhaustive, it is also entertaining and accessible. Lerer takes his subject seriously without making it dull."

Members Reviews: Beautiful story hindered by reader While not my favorite in the Anne series, this story is another full of endearing characters and stories. The narrator's voice isn't horrible, but she had trouble with randomly placing breaks in her speech (possibly when turning pages?), which was distracting. Also, the sound quality was horrendous. Wish I had asked to return it, but my daughter listened to the whole thing before me without complaint:) Amazing! I quiet enjoyed this wonderful book. The narrator did very good with the voices, and made me feel like I was there! I would recommend this app (And book)to my friends and family. Couldn't Listen to It I'm usually pretty patient but I only made it 40 seconds into this book before returning it for a refund. The sound quality was AWFUL. The narrator didn't seem terrible, but it sounded like it had been recorded in a tin can. I decided it was worth a little more money to get the version that Barbara Caruso narrates. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Alone-in-London-Annotated-Audiobook/B078RMB2G2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(P)2007 Alpha DVD LLC Members Reviews: Lovely rendition of a classic As well known as the story is, I really enjoyed listening to Anne Flosnik's narration. I liked her Yorkshire, although I must admit that, never having heard the real thing, I couldn't say whether it's well done or not. "The Magic is in me!" In the beginning of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel The Secret Garden (1910/11), ten-year-old newly-orphaned Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle's Yorkshire home, Misselthwaite Manor. Her uncle, Archibald Craven, is a wretched, unhealthy wealthy man, because ten years ago his beloved wife died in their beloved garden, so that he locked it up and buried the key. Misselthwaite Manor is a great Gothic setting: the 600-year-old house on the edge of the moor has 100 mostly shut up and locked rooms, a labyrinth of gardens and orchards, a reclusive and absent master, and mysterious sounds of crying that may be the moor wind or a child. But of course Burnett is writing an anti-Gothic novel in which the main characters, far from suffering psychic and physical assaults from malign supernatural entities, are improved, saved, and made healthy by the natural "Magic" of rain, sun, growing things, and positive thinking. At first Mary is an unloving, unloved, and unlovely girl, sour, scrawny, and sallow. Neglected by her parents and spoiled by her native servants in India, she never learned how to deal with people. She has never had a friend. Luckily for her, Martha, the Misselthwaite housemaid assigned to her, is a good-natured, "common" cottage girl from a family with twelve kids and a comfortable and wonderful, kind and wise mother, Mrs. Sowerby. Martha's goodness, affection, and volubility interest Mary, while Mary's solitary forays into the fresh air and extensive manor gardens, pushing against the wuthering winds off the moors, smelling the heather, skipping rope, and building up an appetite and eating more all begin making the girl healthier, "fatter," and more pleasant. Her imagination is also waking up, largely due to having been told about the forbidden secret garden. Mary befriends the cross old loner gardener Ben Weatherstaff, who introduces her to a curious robin redbreast. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Old-Peters-Russian-Tales-Audiobook/B0772RY45F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Old Peter's Russian Tales Author: Arthur Ransome Narrator: Greg Wagland Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-17 Publisher: Spoken Realms Genres: Classics, Kids & Young Adults Publisher's Summary: Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) wrote Old Peter's Russian Tales while he was in Russia during the First World War, prior to becoming a war correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. There are 22 stories in all and are told by Old Peter at the behest of his grandchildren, Ivan and Maroosia, in a cozy log cabin in the middle of the forest. These are delightful re-tellings in Ransome's own words of Russian folk tales, and include stories such as "The Little Snow Girl", "Baba Yaga", "Frost", and "Salt". Ransome arrived in St. Petersburg in June 1913 and began to teach himself Russian from nursery primers and newspapers. This book was one of his first projects to have an audience of children in mind. It sold particularly well from the outset and subsequently has never been out of print. Ransome said of Old Peter's Russian Tales, first published in 1916: "I made up my mind to learn enough Russian to be able to read Russian folklore in the original and to tell those stories in the simple language that they seemed to need". Arthur Ransome came to sympathize with the Bolshevik cause, becoming personally close to Lenin, Trotsky, and Radek. Indeed, he ultimately married Trotsky's private secretary, Evgenia Petrovna Shelepina.

Members Reviews: Russian Tales for Children Old Peter's Russian Tales is a collection of Russian folktales written for children. The stories are linked together by anecdotes of a grandfather and his two grandchildren, to whom he tells the tales in the book. The anecdotes are relatively short, though occasionally the grandchildren will interrupt a story to ask questions. The style of writing is geared towards children, though it stops short of being irritatingly sweet like some books I could name. This chosen style makes it a bit dull for an adult reader, though the appearance of archaic themes (such as wife-beating) means that a child should not read this book on their own. There are also not-infrequent Christian references. Because this book was scanned before being made into a kindle book, there are a remarkable number of typo-like mistakes throughout the text. There are a few foot-notes, but the notes are in the middle of the text anyway, and a few of them are extraneous. The free kindle edition also lacks illustrations, though the captions for them (and the page numbers) are left in the text. But there IS an active table of contents, so at least there's that. Contains the following stories: The Hut in the Forest The Tale of the Silver Saucer and the Transparent Apple Sadko Frost The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship Baba Yaga The Cat who Became Head-Forester Spring in the Forest The Little Daughter of the Snow Prince Ivan, the Witch Baby, and the Little Sister of the Sun The Stolen Turnips, the Magic Tablecloth, the Sneezing Goat, and the Wooden Whistle Little Master Misery A Chapter of Fish The Golden Fish Who Lived in the Skull Alenoushka and her Brother The Fire-Bird, the Horse of Power, and the Princess Vasilissa The Hunter and his Wife The Three Men of Power--Evening, Midnight and Sunrise Salt The Christening in the Village Old Peter's Russian Tales This was given to me by my mother when I was a kid and I loved it then and I love it now. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Little-Lord-Fauntleroy-Audiobook/B002V5BF8I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The move from New York to his ancestral castle comes as a shock to both Cedric and his new-found relatives, and while he comes to terms with aristocratic ways, they become more aware of compassion and social justice. Editorial Reviews: This meticulous program does a good job with Burnett's classic rags-to-riches story. Kindly fate transports an American boy, Cedric Errol, to England when he is discovered to be heir to the earldom of Dorincourt. Prepared to hate the American upstart, the crusty earl finds he can't resist his grandson's love. Teresa Gallagher's gentle, refined voice brings the precocious Cedric into listeners' hearts with arresting success. Equally well depicted are the pithy sayings of the ancient earl and Cedric's mother's bell-like tones.

Members Reviews: Not as good as "The Secret Garden". Not one of her better books. I read from beginning to end waiting for the action to start but it never did. Feels like a book that is always on the verge of launching into an extraordinary story but never does. The duke-grandfather character is hard to believe. Sociopaths don't suddenly get nicer because they are inspired by a kind person grandchild or not. The mother and little Lord Fauntleroy are described as kind but you never really get to know them as real people because real people are not perfectly flawless. I found the grandfather to be the most likeable and easy to relate to. He seems to be the most human. Downton Abbey for the small set LIttle Lord Fauntleroy has a bad rap because of its huge popularity in the late 19th century. Every mother apparently wanted their boy to be as selfless and precocious as the title character, so they dressed the innocent boy in the absurd outfit of the book - the velvet, lace collared affair that scarred a generation. But that misses Burnett's point. She creates a world where a child of American sensibilities - raising all boats as his own tide increases - counters the old British guard which, at the time, was the lord had it all, the villagers had nothing. My two favorite childhood books are A Little Princess and Secret Garden. And while Cedric is a little too perfect, the message and the characterization of sudden wealth leading to actual kindness is refreshing. a wonderful printing of a delightful story first, allow me to say that i am quite enjoying these puffin classics editions of some of my favorite novels! this is the story of little cedric errol, having recently lost his british-born father, being plucked from his american life to fufill his duty as the future earl of dorincourt. he is summoned by his crusty grandfather, the current earl of dorincourt, who is disliked far and wide for his tyrannnical behavior. cedric soon becomes little lord fauntleroy, and he and his mother ('dearest') are taken across the atlantic to england. the story is filled with changes, difficult situations, and the redemption of those most in need of it. cedric errol is a unique little boy, and the power of his positivity is infectious. a bonus here with the puffin classics is the addition of backstory included at the end of the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-Classic-Family-Favorites-Audiobook/B004NWCP7C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Vive estas emociones escuchando Platero y yo en formato audiolibro Opiniones de los miembros: Did I buy an audio book or a guitar performance? What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Did I buy an audio book or a flamenco guitar performance recording? Notwithstanding the technical prowess of the guitar player, its constant interruption of the story made the listen an unbearable and strident discourse. so much so, that I could not get past the first 2 or 3 chapters... (I kept hoping it would improve, but Alas... it did not) In fact, I tried to get through the book by skipping the guitar passages... not to be... you want book... you get guitar... period... What could Juan Ramón Jiménez have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? A book reading... period... keep the guitar OUT... OR HAVE IT BE OPTIONAL. How could the performance have been better? YES!!! I HAVE THE PRINTED VERSION... NO PROBLEM... NICE BOOK... NICE STORY... LOVE THE TOPIC. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? DISAPPOINTMENT AND ARROGANCE. Any additional comments?

(Sunday Times) Members Reviews: Fun, Light-hearted Stories The"William" stories are delightfully written, always amusing. Martin Jarvis does his usual excellent reading. I recommend this book. Great book Nice book! classic William Brown - I've enjoyed all his stories since I was a kid and this one doesn't disappoint! My Happy Days too I grew up reading Richmal Crompton's account of the irascible eleven year old. I love to listen to them, especially read by Martin Jarvis. What a treat! A good performance, Shameful putting together. This is Brilliantmasterpiece by Martin Jarvis, funny, witty and altogether just William! The reason why I'm not giving a five-star review is due to the shameful fact of audible not being able to correctly mark the chapters. Instead of having each chapter with the correct name of the story in the chapter all you get is Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc. to many people this may not make a difference, but as for me, this is one of the main reasons I buy at audible The antidote to Enid Blyton Martin Jarvis has made a nice little sideline of reading Richmal Crompton's William books on the BBC for ages. Then they appeared on tapes and CDs, and now they are available here. If you haven't heard them before, then you are in for a big treat, just so long as you can accept the conventions of early to mid-twentieth century British middle-class life. My own early life was a generation after William's, although I did go to school wearing grey flannel shorts, a school cap, blazer and tie, we had no servants at home, and the increase in road traffic curtailed my generation's capacity to roam widely. Once you have projected yourself into this prelapsarian age then the antics of William and the Outlaws become compulsive. In much the same way that P. G. Wodehouse's books appeal to those who cannot have been acquainted with realities on which they draw, Richmal Crompton's stories set eternal themes and their inevitable conclusions in a way which often leads the reader, or in this case listener, to collapse in fits of uncontrollable mirth. This was proved by my grand-daughter, who is still eight, becoming a hopeless devotee of the stories. Her background could not be more different from that of William and his chums, but she will sit quietly for hours listening to Martin Jarvis's voice on her iPod. And there, of course, is a major part of the appeal. Through many years of narrating the books Martin Jarvis has developed a capacity to inhabit the world and to animate the characters which adds considerably to the pleasure of the books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Birds-Christmas-Carol-Audiobook/B076XP6DPV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/334/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It was the part from the Ruggleses' point of view and I LOVED it and thought it was so funny I read a part of this a long time ago when I was younger in one of those books with snippets from lots of different children's stories. It was the part from the Ruggleses' point of view and I LOVED it and thought it was so funny. I decided to read the full thing this year--I was a little disappointed it wasn't all from the Ruggles children's point of view, but oh well. Carol Bird is good--almost angelic--and so it can be difficult to relate to her or feel much for her. However, she is very sweet and kind, and so that redeems her from being a cardboard-like "good character". Uncle Jack--there's not a whole lot about him but I wish there was! He's awesome. ;) Overall it's a light, thoughtful and amusing read and I'd recommend it. Lovely as I Remember I purchased this e-book as it was a beloved book from my childhood gifted to me from a special person. Over the years the book is lost but memory of the sad yet charming story remained. Christmas Story of yesteryear. Precious story and particularly special if there is a 'Carol' in your family. Sweet, traditional Christmas story. Cheesy, just like an American Dickens story. Very Christmasy. It's a sad, 19th century tale of a young girl's generous ... I read this as a girl and remember loving it, so I reordered it for myself. It's a sad, 19th century tale of a young girl's generous spirit and peaceful passing--a kind of morality tale for the time period. Reading it as an adult, many parts made me giggle at the hyperbolic stereotypes, yet others reminded me of our need to treat one another with more grace.
