Title: The Poetry of Lord Byron, Volume VI: Childe Harold, Cantos III & IV Author: George Gordon, Lord Byron Narrator: Robert Bethune Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-10 Publisher: Freshwater Seas Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: With Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, cantos III and IV, Byron comes to the high point of his work and to clear and definite mastery of his art as a poet. Though he himself doubts his powers - he says his visions no longer swim so palpably before his eyes as once they did - his visions are far more palpable to us, expressed as they are with the full depth of his romantic and passionate feelings. He continues the device of the journey of the fictional Harold, but Harold is almost a ghost; the thin disguise and facade that separates him from the poet essentaily vanishes. Even the concept of his pilgrimage fades; Byron is not concerned nearly as much with places and people in this canto as he is with art and ideas. The place that means the most to him is no longer a human habitation, but the world of Nature, in which the inmost depths of his heart is relfected. He writes, "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal." He spends this last portion of his pilgrimage in that special place, that realm of the spirit and the soul, where what matters is the highest achievements of art. Out of that place is his poem made. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (George Gordon) Mon, 13 Sep 2010 00:45:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Poetry-of-Lord-Byron-Volume-VI-Childe-Harold-Cantos-III-IV-Audiobook/B0042LL3XQ thebookvoice.com 02:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Solid Reading with odd Piano Punctuations Bethune reads slowly, but Audible lets you speed up the tempo without changing the pitch of the reader's voice. I listen to this at 1.5x and it sounds fine. His cadence and emphases are good; he occasionally sounds melodramatic, but this isn't inapt given the heroic style and grand scale of some passages of the poem. Bethune has a good sense of the shape of long sentences and he always sounds like he is "in" the poem; there is nothing mechanical or uncertain about his reading. The tone of his voice occasionally reminds me of a 1960s cartoon character--maybe Marvin the Martian?, but this is tolerable as well. Occasionally some passages have an unintended comic effect, though. The poem still benefits from being heard, though; I recommend this. This is a midatlantic American accent. The one strong criticism I have is of the use of piano music to punctuate certain parts of the poem, and to introduce and conclude somewhat arbitrarily created chapters in the poem. I am not against this idea, but its execution. The choices are often not tonally apt and, worse, the production values are amateurish. The piano music sometimes sounds like it came from an old movie or cassette tape, and warbles or wows a bit. If well-recorded Beethoven piano music had been used very selectively, this idea may have worked better. Now it often seems corny and distracting, though I appreciate the intent. A reading that takes hours could benefit from some musical punctuation. Expert use of an irritating instrument Even after hours of listening, I can barely reconcile my ears to the annoying timbre of the narrator's voice (surely there is work here for a laryngologist), but he understands the contours of Byron's thought and versification and knows how to convey them to the listener. Well worth the member price. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Donald-Hall-Audiobook/B002V5J2OM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Opiniones de los miembros: Contenido excelente autor sobresaliente Lo procedente de Ruben Dario es lectura esencial para aquel que desea leer la cumbre de la literatura latinoamericana del siglo 20. Este autor representa un verdadero genio capaz de adaptarse a culturas diferentes, generaciones diferentes e idiomas distinctas. La calidad de la grabacion is mediocre. Lastima que no viene en calidad de 3 o 4. Too slow Muy lento. Lectura hecha por algun sudamericano. Si te gusta la poesia tal vez sea una opcion. No pase de 15 minutos. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/I-Am-Becoming-the-Woman-Ive-Wanted-Audiobook/B002V5BSEO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Library Journal) Members Reviews: For each chapter in a woman's life My aunt gave this book to my mother when she reached a certain age, and my mother gave it to my sister when she had her first child. There are poems that I read when I was younger that I didn't fully understand, and now lines from those poems will come back to me at various appropriate times. I got this book as a gift for a dear friend who is expecting her first child-- it was a wonderful present for someone I know well, but because of the nude photography and content of some stories/poems, I wouldn't gift this book to an acquaintance. This book was okay. I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did When I Am an Old Woman, I Shall Wear Purple. I compared it to this book and it didn't measure up. Others may like it better. BUY IT! GREAT BOOK! WONDERFUL! Joy, Tears and Combustion This book flows with wisdom about the stages of a woman's life. There is arm pumping joy, tears of compassion and sadness and the affirmation of the person within over the external skin. "..if by wearing silk, my value mounts what happens when I'm bare?" There are pieces that apply to whatever stage of life a woman is passing through. There are pieces that bring the smiles of remembering past stages. There are pieces that point to possible routes for the journeys to come. Read and enjoy this passage from "Combustion" "When I have a hot flash....I watch, astounded, as an invisible hand tosses water on the stones of my body, and I ignite. How can flesh not melt? Then, of necessity, I give up the watch and close my eyes and float on the water, and then the fire expends itself, and I pick up my little fan and create a breeze something like the ones that frequsent northern lakes at night. Then I just sit in the quiet puddle of my flesh. If it is the middle of the night I sleep the good sleep of a person cleansed." A wonderful anthology The poems, short stories, and particularly the photos in this book are so touching. I encourage women who are interested in self-discovery to read this book, because the passages inspired me to reflect on myself, my life, and my relationships with those I love. This is a good book for any woman who is going through changes in her life. (It would be a good graduation gift, a good gift for a woman getting married or having a baby, and a wonderful birthday present.) The book celebrates strong women, fragile women, mothers, daughters, growing up, growing old, just growing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Rab-the-Rhymer-Audiobook/B00EDQSWEI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The language/dialect he used (Lannan) is not always accessible to mainstream English speakers . In view of this, pronunciation is always contentious. The narrators did a good job of the impossible task of translating 200 year old language to current day phrasing. They kept the cadence and feeling of the works well. I would recommend this to anyone seeking to come to grips with this phenomenal talent. If you have to come to do an academic review II recommend the approach I took as as a Scot "learning" Shakespeare. Have a print copy and dictionary nearby as you listen.

He was born in 1853 in Cuba and known as the "Apostle of Cuban Independence;" he moved to New York in 1881, where he remained until his death in 1895. In New York, he founded the Cuban Revolutionary Party and made an uncertain living as a newspaper correspondent, teacher, translator, and diplomat. Included here are his poems and prose of love and friendship, freedom and exile, eternity, and the essence of childhood from Versos Sencillos, Poesias Dispersas, La Edad de Oro, Tres Héroes, Los Zapaticos de Rosa, Los Dos Principes, and Cada Uno en su Oficio. In Spanish.

Title: The Early Poetry of Conrad Aiken: Charnel Rose Author: Conrad Aiken Narrator: Robert Bethune Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-12 Publisher: Freshwater Seas Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: In Charnel Rose, Conrad Aiken takes the plunge into a deeply metaphysical and surrealistic world, capturing the essence of one aspect of quintessential humanity: how we create and pursue a deeply personal, intensely idealistic, physically and emotionally draining search for love, and how some of us turn away from real love when we do find it, preferring instead to re-invent and re-amplify our idealistic vision of passionate perfection. He does this through an amazing combination of highly imaginative imagery conveyed through strikingly simple and beautiful poetry, musically complex and intensely rhythmic without empty literary gesture or hollow convention. The first part of the book is "Senlin," a study of the complex reality of a man who is part stonemason, part philospher, and possibly part ancient deity.The second part of the book is "Variations," short, intense poems that ring the changes on intimate relationships.The third and last part of the book is "Charnel Rose," from which the book takes its name; this explores the passions and self-delusions we all go through in the name of love.

Members Reviews: Very peculiar recording I love the poem Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight with a kind of ironic fondness for its melodrama. So I bought this recording. First; there are multiple announcements for the website of the producing company. Why? Then, the production starts with 2 verses of Curfew, followed at once by 2 verses of Towser. Huh? Finally it starts all over again and you hear all of Curfew, then all of Towser (after another website announcement!) Once you really get to the poetry, it's ok though Towser is narrated in a most un-Kansas-like accent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Real-Mother-Goose-Audiobook/B002VA8Q7G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great and Basic book for Parents to share with their children a beautifully very well done book .. well known but unfortunately not read all that much in recent years. the actuall binding p and beautifull well done ones at that truly maintain this as a basic book in libraries for parents to share with their children. Mother Goose to share for another generation I got this to share with my youngest son. I had one when I was young, and I knew I wanted one when I had children. Not sure why we never got around to it for my oldest. But I didn't spare any time to get this and start sharing with both of them, even tho my oldest is 12. I believe you can never be too old to enjoy mother goose. This is great with the classic pictures and the rhymes I remember. As well as many I don't. Perfect! One of my favorites as a child so wanted to get it for my daughter. Perfect! Beautiful book! My two year old little boy loves it! A nice change from Elmo and Monster Trucks! Large book with lots of rhymes and pictures. Old fashioned in a beautiful way! Mother Goose always good. What can I say about Mother Goose, this is a great book and it's got all of Mother Goose as well as pretty good illustrations. It's an awesome books for the poems and quips of Mother Goose. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-12-Days-of-Christmas-Audiobook/B004GBAXME Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I very much appreciated the reader as well. My only complaint was that it was too short! Good stories, not keen on the narrator A nice selection of Christmas poems. The narrator reads with conviction but I find his accent gets in the way of my enjoyment. Simon Cliffe's accent sounds what I think of as Cockney, and "to" sounds like "tu" (short "u"), "wild" sounds like "wiwde", and "pawing" like "poring". I prefer a narrator who has a more neutral accept or who can incline his accent to suit the selection... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Favorite-Story-Poems-Audiobook/B002V0TF94 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

All very good. Good Stuff Excellent selection. Great for classroom use Good listening I liked most of the selections in this Audio book, it makes for an entertaining listening. The problem is the sound quality of some of the poems, which is not very good. Great poems, poorly read The poems selected were great but the quality of narration was uneven and did not hold my or my grandchildren's interest. Good, but some audio problems All the tracks except for Edgar Allen Poe's "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven" sound pretty good. These are fantastic stories made even creepier and more memorable by their poetic format. However, and this is a big 'however,' the audio on the two Poe tracks is really bad. The speaker's voice has echo added to it, and the effect is not good, partly because of the low bitrate, even in format 4. Those two tracks are a total loss. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Nursery-Rhymes-Audiobook/B0185Z7MD4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The nursery rhymes that make up our collection are taken from the original Mother Goose rhymes. They are the classics from our childhood, with all the original verses and all the parts of rhymes that one usually hums over due to having forgotten the words. They are therefore full of wonderful and merry memories for most of us and discoveries for the rest of us. That being said, they are also the province of the childhood of the past and are therefore somewhat surprising in their brutality, their honesty and at times their frightening lack of political correctness! We are given to worrying greatly over the television our children watch and the violence they are exposed to in the modern era. These rhymes are an amusing reminder of the fairly harsh nature of childhood before it began to be agreed that childhood should be protected.

After seeing the beautiful widow Criseyde at the temple in Troy, Troilus falls instantly in love with her. Inexperienced in love, he is unable to act on his feelings and locks himself in his room to compose love songs. Criseyde's Uncle Pandarus becomes the matchmaker for the couple, but what will happen when Criseyde is handed over to the Greeks at the gates of Troy to join her 'traitor' father? The cast includes Tom Ferguson as Troilus, Maxine Peake as Criseyde and Malcolm Raeburn as Pandarus. Also starring Kathryn Hunt, Kevin Doyle, Terence Mann and Declan Wilson. Directed by Susan Roberts. Members Reviews: Beautiful An outstanding dramatization of Chaucer's original tale. This is not the sickly, corrupt world of Shakespeare's play on the subject; it's a sad story of love won and lost. Excellent performances, great music and sound design. The adaptation includes occasional unobtrusive rhyme. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Invitation-Audiobook/B002VA3HX4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have listen to the book daily and learn something new each day. It say a lot about life and how we should go with the flow of life. Beautiful & Thought Provoking Hits my all-time favorites list. A perfectly well written book about what it means to exist as a very aware human. Colorful and descriptive articulation about being connected to and accepting of the internal and external limits while transcending beyond them. Wonderful, wonderful book. Unexpected Gem I popped this on while I was doing my work at home. I was listening however not intently to be honest (I intend to go back and listen properly again). As the time progressed and the stories unfolded, I found myself suddenly bursting into tears and sobbing very deeply. It felt to me that the story had pushed up something I had locked away, what exactly I am really not too sure, but I don't think that matters. I think the unwavering compassionate humanity in every word that Oriah speaks manages to coax out of us what we have shut away and given freedom of expression it is healed. That was a very unexpected outcome for me and I am thankful for this work and for my inner wisdom which knew to choose it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Prophet-Audiobook/B00329C7L6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher, because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer." The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: "Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one's ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes....If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth." Editorial Reviews: The Prophet is the classic masterwork comprised of several exquisitely flowing prose essays written by Lebanese writer, poet, and philosopher, Kahlil Gibran in 1923, that examines what it means to be alive and a human being and the love and tenderness we universally seek. Narrated with enlightened reason and down-to-earth wisdom by Alec Sand, this abridged version of The Prophet is a must-listen for anyone with a poetic heart, as the transcendent wonder in these lyrical words gush forth from the pen and heart of a true artist. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Khalil Gibran) Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:11:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Prophet-Audiobook/B00329C7L6 thebookvoice.com 01:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Please listen, but choose another reader. I give this book one star not for the content, but for the reader. It's a book of poetry, yet he reads it as if he were called upon in a class to read some old economics journal filled with words he doesn't understand. There are other versions of this book on the audible site, and I encourage anyone interested to listen to the various readers before settling on one. (As with any book with multiple readings.) As for the content, I'm no judge. People regard this book as a classic, and I can't disagree with them. I think, though, that poetry should be treated as one would treat good tea, in that the enjoyment comes not just with the content of the cup but with the trappings; a nice cup (or at least a favorite cup), an unhurried pace. This audio version is the equivalent of drinking fine tea out of a paper cup, cold. Please be aware. A Sad Injustice done to listener... What didnt you like about Alec Sands performance? Alec Sand reads without any passion for the material and in monotone to make the material unlistenable.... I bought the one narrated by Robert Glenister.... Much much better Disappointing It seems this classic is sold short by the reading. The narrator sounds way too mechanical, making this inspiring story boring. Uninspired Yawwwwwn. Dreary empty text read by a tired narrator with a soft monotone voice. Delete Annoying narration I really wanted to read this book and the chosen narrator was just not appropriate for me. I felt like I was listening to a school nativity play or something. The performance was over acted and left me distracted from what is ostensibly a beautiful story. I am sure there are some for whom the performance will be fine. I am not one and honestly just want to return it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Christian-Poetry-Book-3-Audiobook/B013BNT102 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This Collection of 63 poems by various authors including Christina Rossetti, Thomas Ken, John Nelson Darby, Richard Baxter, Isaac Watts, Gerhardt Ter Steegan, Anne Ross Cousin and many others has been brought together in order that these spiritual truths and impressions, presented in poetical form, will comfort and edify God's people as they wrestle daily with the world, the flesh, and the devil. To know that others have felt what we have felt, 'Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in joy' to hear the feelings in our hearts echoed back to us, to be reminded of our Lord's love, will comfort the soul and bring encouragement. Some of the poems and lyrics included will be familiar as they have been set to music and become famous hymns - as John Newton puts it 'these are not 'odes', but are truths put plainly and simply for ordinary people to understand'. Some others are perhaps more deep and thought- provoking. Perhaps listening to them being read, instead of being sung will allow you to appreciate the sentiments in a different way.

Members Reviews: Wonderful Find Would you consider the audio edition of The Book of Psalms to be better than the print version? Years ago this was originally a cassette format also by Michael York. I listened to it every night and loved it. The cassette finally broke. I was thrilled to find this in an audio version! No one does Psalms like Michael York. Who was your favorite character and why? This is the Psalms from the Bible so it does not have characters per se. David is the main "character" and Michael York does David brilliantly. Which character as performed by Michael York was your favorite? This is the Psalms from the Bible so it does not have characters per se.

This Collection of 62 Poems by various authors including William Cowper, Thomas Kelly, Willie Mullan, Robert Murray McCheyne, Charlotte Elliott, George Herbert, Charitie Lees De Chenez and many others, has been brought together in order that these spiritual truths and impressions, presented in poetical form, will comfort and edify God's people as they wrestle daily with the world, the flesh, and the devil. To know that others have felt what we have felt, 'Through all the changing scenes of life , In trouble and in joy' to hear the feelings in our hearts echoed back to us, to be reminded of our Lord's love, will comfort the soul and bring encouragement. Some of the poems and lyrics included will be familiar as they have been set to music and become famous hymns - as John Newton puts it 'these are not 'odes', but are truths put plainly and simply for ordinary people to understand'. Some others are perhaps more deep and thought- provoking. Perhaps listening to them being read, instead of being sung will allow you to appreciate the sentiments in a different way. This audio edition is produced with the prayerful desire that the Blessed Spirit of God may be pleased to use it for Christ's Glory and for the comfort, encouragement and edification of God's people. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (William Cowper) Tue, 04 Aug 2015 00:44:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Christian-Poetry-Book-1-Audiobook/B013EYMI4Y thebookvoice.com 02:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answers." Rilke's ability to combine the sensual and the spiritual into an inspired vision of the art of living is brought to vivid life in his letters. Through his eyes, the everyday difficulties of love, sex, solitude, sadness, and doubt are seen as the archetypal elements of the drama called life.

(Newsday) Members Reviews: Priceless Recordings of Intense Feeling The first experience I had with Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet was a tape I had purchased, without much expectation, from a local bookstore. I had recently been very captivated by Rilke's poems, but thought letters to another person could hardly be captivating, and would most likely be rather tawdry. I was very wrong. The letters, when heard, have I think an unalterable effect on a personality. They make one question oneself and one's surroundings. Question god and solitude, question what it means to be an artist, but more, what it means to look at the world and try to absorb and interact with it. To live as a human being. Among the creatures and the people. The act of sex and that of death. But with everything, there is a trust that if one looks at something with enough patience, the thing will yield itself, that one will be able to gain understanding, and that nothing that is observed fully is ever lost. A tremendous recording and reproduction by Audible.com. My only recommendation would be to seperate each letter into an individual audio file, if possible. For even though they stand wonderfully together, it is nearly 80 minutes, and slightly much for a single sitting. But it is an admitedly small complaint. rilke at peace this is a wonderful translation of one of the 20th century s earliest and best gifts. i loved the reading as well, listened to it five or six times in a row, and am still listening to it at night. a peaceful reading of a wise book, with wisdom for poets and anyone else who wants to live an authentic life. the book is also a moving testimony of the total commitment to poetry with which rilke lived every day of his life. My Question, My Life, My Solitude Today I randomly found this book because I asked a question to the universe about my life, about my solitude. Within the first few words of this book I found my answer. So yes.. I would have to say this is an EXCELLENT book if you are trying to figure out your life especially as a fellow writer/poet such as myself. Author Nicole Vincent good reader; bad audio output i love rilke and liked Mitchell's reading but overall audio was low, hard to hear Beautiful Poets, writers, and people who drink life fully to the breadth and depth the heart can feel will enjoy the experience of this narration.

Would you try another book from Sebastian Lockwood (adaptation) and/or Sebastian Lockwood? If you can imagine a British Shakespearean actor reading The Epic of Gilgamesh as Captain James T. Kirk might read it... then I highly recommend this audio book for you. What did you like best about this story? The story itself and its ancient history. What didnt you like about Sebastian Lockwoods performance? His read; an overly dramatic start and stop performance that honestly does sound like William Shatner when he portrayed Captain Kirk on Star Trek. What character would you cut from The Epic of Gilgamesh? You can not cut a character from this story - this story is thousands of years old - adding text to the story it bad enough; but you should not cut any of the original text and certainly not cut a character. Any additional comments? Authors should do the writing and hire others to do the reading. The story of Adam and eve descent from heaven Would you listen to The Epic of Gilgamesh again? Why? it has the origin of Noah flood mythology , it is an amazing piece of human oral history that turned into one of the first written history pieces by one of the first human writings and the root of so many beliefs that are shared in the middle eastern religions repetative this was simply so repetitive that it got on my nerves, I listened to several chapters Good introduction The book is a good introduction to the Sumerian epic, if a little dramatic in presentation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Faerie-Queene-Audiobook/B015QGUNFY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Takes time I wasn't familiar with this famous writing, so thought I'd give it a try. The language is nimble and colorful, and very well performed. The story is convoluted and very, very long. It's the sort of thing to read aloud by the fire in the evenings -- in short bursts over quite some calendar time. Not the thing to try from beginning to end before you go on to your next book! Epic Fantasy from Shakespeare's Time In most Arthurian romances, the noblest monarch in the world is King Arthur, and the greatest knight is Lancelot, who tragically falls in love with Arthur's queen. In the romances surrounding Amadis of Gaul, on the other hand, the noblest monarch is King Lisuarte, and the greatest knight is Amadis, who has the good fortune to fall in love not with Lisuarte's queen, but with his unmarried daughter, the Princess Oriana. Spenser takes this trend a bold step further: in his vast poetic fantasy, the noblest monarch is the Queen of Faerie, and the greatest knight is the young Prince Arthur, not yet a king in his own right, who falls in love with that same unmarried Queen, the tantalizing Gloriana. In fact, it is Gloriana who takes the initiative by making herself known to Arthur and declaring her love for him, but then vanishes, leaving him to seek her out in a world of pathless forests. In "The Faerie Queene," then, Spenser is creating an epic-scale, alternate-history prequel to the Arthurian romances we already know: nearly a quarter of a million words of loosely intertwined adventures featuring (for the most part) an altogether new cast of amorous knights and ladies, new champions who must quest for true love and virtue while combating miscreants, monsters, wizards, and witches in a land drenched with symbolism and enchantment. (The fact that everything is symbolic is part of the enchantment.) In all this, he aims to do for England and Britain what Homer and Virgil and Ovid had done for Greece and Rome: his poem aspires to be a great epic in its own right, and if its characters are not quite as apt to recall Odysseus or Aeneas as Lancelot or Gawain, they are at least no more likely to encounter a guardian angel than an Olympian goddess. In such unabashed intermingling of ordinarily disparate fantasy realms and genres, "The Faerie Queene" was a major influence on C. S. Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia; and, long before that, its trailblazing splendor of ancient, medieval, and modern learning, penetrating moral insight, vividly sensuous imagination, unexampled metrical fluency, and rapturous prosodic mastery had served as both incitement and inspiration to nearly every other poet of the English Renaissance, including Shakespeare, and to many others in the centuries that followed. The challenge posed to any would-be narrator by both the nature and the stature of such a work is formidable, but luckily the supremely accomplished David Timson was willing to take up the gauntlet. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Waste-Land-Four-Quartets-Audiobook/B002V19WQO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature) Members Reviews: Help -- I can't stop listening to this Especially Four Quartets. Is there some kind of Four Quarterts recovery group for addicts? Exquisite! Paul Schofield's reading of these two poems is nothing short of masterful. Even after years of reading and loving "The Four Quartets", I found my appreciation of the rhythm, language and structure growing. There is nothing better than listening to poetry read aloud by a master. I highly recommend this selection. Superb interpretation. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Enthusiastically. It brings meaning to a difficult text. What did you like best about this story? The meaningfulness of the reading. Which character as performed by Paul Scofield was your favorite? Not relevant. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me understand. Any additional comments? The best download on Audible. A breath of understanding Would you listen to The Waste Land & Four Quartets again? Why? I have studied the work for many years; Scofield's reading has given new meaning to this amazing and at times puzzling poem I have heard things that it would seem I have never read and reached a new understanding of the work. None Sharper! T.S. Eliot delivered by an excellent reader/interpreter. Highest praise for two aspects. Clear vision of our continuing decline - hard to imagine this was once dismissed as well as a quantum perspective also upheld by the repeal of "localism". One of the few works of Art that resonates in the consciousness. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Twas-the-Night-Before-Christmas-Classic-Tales-Edition-Audiobook/B01JSDW9DK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A classic well read I was impressed with the narrator and really appreciate his work on what could have been a difficult piece. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is an acquired taste, but this was so well presented, I must give it an excellent review. I've listened to it twice in the last couple of days and will listen to it again shortly. I am really pleased with this work and its presentation. Great Reading of a Fantastic Work of Art Out of all of Coleridge's works, this is my favorite, and the narrator instills so much emotion into every word of this reading. Poetry for guys who don't get poetry. I rarely read poetry. I find it difficult to read and understand. But I really wanted to experience this dark tale of a sailor and an albatross. Hearing it read managed to get through my poetry issues. Excellent audiobook. classic It's Coleridge and the reader read with emotion. One of the best readings I have heard. Is it me or... Did the narrator record this whilst going for a jog? He sounds out of breath throughout and speeds up and slows at the strangest of times. I came away having no idea at all what happened in the story. Shame. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Best-Poems-of-All-Time-Volume-1-Audiobook/B002V0TIMS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The choice of poems is excellent although it's inevitable that most listeners will miss a few of their own favorites that didn't make the cut. To counter this, many listeners who have not read too much poetry in recent years will be pleasantly surprise when a favorite but vaguely-remembered stanza or turn of phrase pops up unexpectedly. I notice that some other reviewers would have preferred a short introduction to each poem - the problem with this is that, while the introduction is useful the first time you listen, it is an annoyance thereafter. I thus far prefer this audiobook's approach of climbing in immediately. The various readers were all excellent, although I would have preferred two or three more British readers, to vary the accents. Audio quality (at level 4) is excellent. Okay but This is a series of poems being read with no introduction. That probably works for some, but for me, I prefer "Classic Fifty Poems," that introduces each poem with a little information about the poet and the time in which he or she lived. Poor Not a great selection and some weird choices like a reading of the battle hymn of the republic... Poor QC - poems are missing lines (E.g. to Virgins to make much of time). Some readers are not really aware of what they are reading. If you already like poetry, this will just annoy you. If you don't and are hoping to learn, look elsewhere worthwhile some good stuff here, but also several poems chosen more perhaps for historical/national importance than actual poetic quality. I listen to this book time and again. Loved it. It is serene and tranquil and energizing I would recommended to everybody thank you https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Kalevala-Audiobook/B00B8YXIA6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Charming and engaging. What about Keith Bosleys performance did you like? That it sounded like a storyteller of the original tales might have, had they been in English--declaimed and metrical but well paced. He conveyed what must have been the real meaning of the words--which as the translator from the Finnish, he knew. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, the original was assembled from different, though related tales by a 19th-century collector. Any additional comments? Where other translated folk tales seem flat, this was lively, without the sense that anything had been added to make it so. This was Meant to be Read Aloud Anyone who has tried to read an epic like this would do well to remember that the Kalevala was meant to be read aloud. It doesn't surprise me that there aren't to many recordings of this epic in audio form. And as for trying to use electronic voice technology along with a read-aloud type app, I wouldn't recommend it. The electronic voices are flat, and they can't deal with the names. After a while, I'd really freak out. Fortunately, this version of the Kalevala is narrated by someone who totally gets it. Keith Bosley is both the translator and narrator of this version. In my book, this adds to his credibility. Not only that, Bosley brings his background in radio to this performance. It's as if he really was planning to read this thing aloud, and since he knows the language, he is able to cope with the Finnish names. As a bonus, I have to give Naxos Audio Books high marks. Naxos always puts out quality stuff, and this recording doesn't let me down. In short, anyone looking for a good narration of the Kalevala would do well to check out this reading. Vivid and fascinating. Only one third through but I'm in no doubt I'll want all 13 hours. It's like a drug. I almost didn't click but curiosity made me listen to the sample and I was drawn in by the sound and the imagery straight away. Nordic noir was never so harsh and lyrical. What a delight to realise later that the reader Keith Bosley is also the translator! Amazing job. I would tend to get bored by folk tales and myths if the text is plodding - it takes the driving energy of poetry like this to bring such material to life and that is here in abundance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-History-of-English-Poetry-Audiobook/B002V1CI60 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enjoyable and enlightening This is an engaging survey of English language poetry, incorporating poems from both England and America. The mark of a good survey is that is leaves you wanting to dig deeper into the subject, and this certainly book does that. The book covers not only different poets, but the development of poetry over the centuries, and it left me wanting more. Derek Jacobi is an excellent reader, but he doesn't read most of the poems. The readers of the poems are themselves good, but be warned: poetry takes more concentration and involvement than our multi-tasking, couch-potato society is used to, and you'll find yourself rewinding to rehear many of the poems. It is well worth it. Thrilling and Educational The combination of the writing and narration is so stimulating that I often had to pause it so I could consider what I just heard. I enjoyed the general sweep of the history and discovered some poetry not previously on my radar. Straightforward but unexciting What did you like best about The History of English Poetry? What did you like least? This narrative filled in some gaps in my knowledge of English poetry (or more correctly, poetry in English, since American poets are also included). The text is adequate, but pretty dry and somewhat dull to listen to. Mostly it's a run-through of major poets and trends in poetry over time, with short examples from actual poems. Although it's a fairly recent book, the coverage ends with poets writing in the mid-20th century. Would you be willing to try another book from Peter Whitfield? Why or why not? Probably not, unless I heard from other people that it was more interesting and lively than this one. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Derek Jacobi's reading is very good, as expected, although I wish someone had told him how to pronounce "Lanier". The short quotes from individual poems are read by other British actors, some of whom are better readers than others. In particular, their attempts to mimic American regional accents are on the level of Vivien Leigh playing Scarlett O'Hara. Surely they could have brought in a few native speakers to do the American poets with strong regional or ethnic associations. Do you think The History of English Poetry needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No. It covers the topic adequately. Not Simply a Textbook I would have never believed that Derek Jacobi could sound as dull as any college professor until I started listening to this book. It made me leave the book, then come back to it, only to leave again. Yet my love of poetry is so strong, I kept coming back. Then I found my mistake.

Members Reviews: Should be listened to by all spiritual seekers Amazing. The raw cannot understand the ripe. Where is part 2? Jalaloddin comes to life with Anton Lesser's performance. This is more than a book, it IS living Word. Thank you! Beautiful Poetry Sadly I found Anton Lessor's reading detracted from the words. Not the expression but the sound of voice detracted from my enjoyment . I read so many others enjoyed the reading, so read my comments in that light. It is a personal opinion. The poetry, the verses are beautiful. meant for listening Rumi's verse was meant for listening; just turn it on and flow with the river of words. This is the only decent translation into English verse out there. The others are either doggerel or "versions" that owe more to the versioneer than to the Persian original. The narrator does a good job capturing some of the many voices that are speaking through the verses. It's not quite complete version of Books 1 and 2, though. Hoping for more!--when Williams finishes translating the remaining books, they should sign up Lesser again. Fifty hours of Masnavi would be just about enough. Not actually unabridged Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Alan Williams' translation is very good, and Anton Lesser's reading is (as always) excellent. The one problem with this audiobook is that it's falsely advertised as unabridged, when it is in fact abridged. It cuts out many of Rumi's tangents, which is too bad because it gives a misleading sense of Rumi's style. Mevlana Rumi... the mirror of life Where does Spiritual Verses rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Rumi's works are beyond time. His books are lifetime companion. What was one of the most memorable moments of Spiritual Verses? the story of "the lion, the hare and the hunted animals" What does Anton Lesser bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Anton Lesser is the best narrator I've listened to so far! He reads Rumi's works by feeling every verse deeply, and speaks with the spirit of Rumi! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Silent, pure, and peaceful. Any additional comments? "Accept this reading, make no argument, Such milk and honey you too might be sent; Interpreting throws back what youve received, Due to a fault in it that youve perceived." -- Mevlana Rumi https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Pure-Water-Audiobook/B00DJDBXBK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: great narration and stories of poems by rumi I love this book and the interpretation of the great poems captures the essence of the human soul and mind Lightweight Poetry Experience Would you consider the audio edition of Pure Water to be better than the print version? Not really, as the readings of poems felt less a focal than the story telling and music Has Pure Water turned you off from other books in this genre? No, but this was a hybrid of other things, poetry just one aspect. Any additional comments? I'd listen to this again, but I was really seeking a Rumi poetry primer and this was more performance piece with a musical theme Not at all what it advertises If you are seeking Rumi, go elsewhere. This is a personal, musical, poetry session of mixed sources which include Rumi. I do not recommend. Calm healing Wonderful concert-like performance. Exceeded my expectations. Pure Water combines the ancient poetry of a great seer with modern sensibility.

Members Reviews: The Impertinence of Being Earnest In some ways, Jonathan Keeble's new recording of Byron's "Don Juan" is far and away the best on Audible, being quite free from such impediments of timbre, mannerism, and affectation as detract from the earlier versions by Robert Bethune, Frederick Davidson, and Charlton Griffin. Keeble is a superbly accomplished narrator, in complete command of his vocal instrument and of the tonal effects he wants to achieve with it in every passage, line, pause, and syllable. He knows (or thinks he knows) what complex of effects Byron aims at in every moment of the text, calculates every nuance of his performance accordingly, and realizes those effects with pinpoint accuracy. Just one problem: his notion of the effects Byron is trying to achieve is spectacularly wrong-headed. It's true, of course, that Byron employs a rich palette of tones over the more-than-sixteen-canto span of his masterpiece. But the keynote tone of the whole is this: the poem is funny. Setting aside the humorous parts of "The Canterbury Tales," it is unquestionably the outstanding comic poem in English. Its satire may sometimes drip with sneering disdain or thunder with prophetic wrath (Keeble does these very well), but mostly it is undisguised, exuberant, sophisticated wit that finds the poet insouciantly skewering innumerable puffed-up solemnities we can hardly believe anyone has ever taken seriously. Yet Keeble seems unaware of this. One might think he supposed himself to be narrating, not the ribald misadventures of Don Juan, but the solemn mopings and meanderings of Childe Harold. The keynote tone of this audiobook is stern, solemn, grim, with only faint shadows of lightness of touch. Sometimes, as in the shipwreck episode, this approach is perfectly correct. But most often, Keeble's earnest tone is simply not pertinent to the jaunty self-projection of Byron's stinging barbs, and it is impertinent, too, therefore, in that it disrespects the sustained and scintillating levity that Byron so deliciously achieved. Given all this, a rating for this book is hard to settle on. On its own terms, I must admit, it is magnificently done, and I did enjoy listening to it, but in a quite different way than I enjoyed Bethune despite his pinched nasality, Davidson despite his cloying preciousness, and Griffin despite his elaborately assumed pseudo-cultured-Britisher persona. If those other versions manage to capture the poet's comic achievement only imperfectly, Keeble's stands in one way as definitive--but definitive for a Bizarro world in which Byron's work is predominantly a triumph of straightfaced gravity rather than vivacity of wit. Should you spend a credit on it? After listening to the samples, I guess you pays your money and you takes your choice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Las-hojas-secas-The-Dried-Leaves-Audiobook/B00J2HWVHC Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> Título: Las hojas secas [The Dried Leaves] Autor: Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer Narrador: Emilio Villa, Sonolibro Formato: Unabridged Duración: 7 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 03-18-14 Editor: Sonolibro Calificaciones: 4.5 de 5 de 17 votos Categorías: Classics, Poetry Resumen del editor: Una tarde de otoño cualquiera el poeta se funde completamente con el medio natural y escucha la conversación de dos hojas secas cualesquiera que se encuentran al borde del camino en la que una le cuenta a la otra como ha llegado hasta allí arrastrada por el torbellino de aire, mientras que la otra ha llegado a lomos de las aguas del río y sólo un último vendaval ha sido capaz de levantarla y de traerla donde se encuentra.

Members Reviews: A Must Have For Every Woman I was so happy when I got this from my mom for my 21st birthday. I love poetry (and especially writing ones too). These poems are so relatable of what I am going through and it's nice listening to the audible version too. It's nice and relaxing. The pacing is excellent and all of the voices narrate the poems great. It's a must have for every woman out there (especially for those who love poetry as much as I do). Still struggling with poetry What did you like best about She Walks in Beauty? What did you like least? I enjoyed the What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The poetry readers did a wonderful job. As much as I admire Caroline Kennedy, I found her explanatory portions very flat and, for me, it broke the mood that the poems and their readers created. Was She Walks in Beauty worth the listening time? Yes Well Done!! I enjoyed the range of poetry on this audio book immensely. I cannot recommend it enough. The poetry was well-pronounced. I loved it.

Members Reviews: Odes to the Mundane, etc. "I intend to confuse things, to unite them, make them new-born, intermingle them, undress them, until the light of the world has the unity of the ocean, a generous wholeness, a fragrance alive a crackling." - Pablo Neruda, "Too Many Names" in Full Woman, Fleshy Apple, Hot Moon Neruda has a gift for love poems, a gift for opening the book of life and translating its pages. I bought this book decades ago and it was peeped at, but never fully read. It wasn't his love poems. It wasn't The Captain's Verses. But upon my maturity, upon my ripening, I've discovered the maturity I need to understand these later Neruda poems. These Odes to the Mundane (Socks, Suits, Ironing, Onions). Neruda is both a South American Whitman and the Western Hemisphere's Horace. He finds gold everywhere. He tears the fleshy fruit from the seeds of truth that have been overlooked. It is easy to write a poem about love, but much harder to see the beauty of an onion. But delicately he unwraps it. He finds eroticism in the everyday. In that way, Neruda reminds me a bit of Edward Weston photographing peppers. His eye captures both the nature of the pepper and the nature of our human stare, our vision, our gaze. He discovers us in the inanimate. He finds humanity writhing under the rocks in the garden. Beautiful Poems and Performance, but Slight Echo Would you consider the audio edition of Full Woman, Fleshly Apple, Hot Moon to be better than the print version? Stephen Mitchell carefully reads each poem with conscious and clear pacing that emphasizes the nuances of Pablo Neruda's words. The translation is accurate. What did you like best about this story? Neruda's poems are beautiful, thoughtful, humorous and touching. Mitchell gives them life with his voice. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes, but there was a bit of an haunting sounding echo after each word was read. It wasn't bad, but it was a little distracting because there isn't any real strong silent pauses that would add impact to Neruda's words as read by Mitchell. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Ecstatic-Soul-Audiobook/B002V57O92 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The very joy and pain of Being... Devoured it...digested it...and repeated the process 100 times. This is essential wisdom for the art of being alive. Conversationally accessible developing ecstatic appreciation Conversationally accessible developing ecstatic appreciation. Coleman Barks has a rich warm voice and conversational, informative Rumi ~ ~ Love the poetry, love and fluidity of J. Rumi...Barks with the music is beautiful; great job. Backstop on Barks, Less Rumi This was more of a conversational exchange with Coleman Barks than the other New Dimensions program he did. However, it has some delightful, transpersonal elements. Coleman Barks is an interesting spiritual personality and if you want a bit of a look at him, it's here. Instead of a song/music at the usual point of the program, Barks recites a Rumi poem to music. velvet gems a pleasing discussion by two devotees, gorgeous voices adding to my understanding of the beauty and mystery of Rumi and the Divine. lovely to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/When-I-Am-an-Old-Woman-I-Shall-Wear-Purple-Audiobook/B002UZKV2K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(P) and ©1993 Stanford Alumni Association Members Reviews: Bad sound recording Up front, I will admit, I was expecting more straight poetry reading than commentary. However, this audible offering is mostly a lecture on the lives, learning, deaths, influences, and poetry analysis of Sexton and Plath. There was very little actual poetry. However, my biggest complaint was with the audio quality. This sounds like an old and porrly done casset tape recording of a lecture a student took while in class, or a terrible phone connection on some radio show. In addition, the lectuer speaks very fast, stumbles of her words, sometimes says the wrong word and has to repeat. She also repeats statements and ideas and analysis more than once, which I find irritating. Overall, not a good offering. If there is a sample available, I suggest listening to it before purchase. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Poems-by-Emily-Dickinson-Audiobook/B007I39XSM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The notoriously reclusive New England poet broke all the rules of Victorian-era poetry to create a new, uniquely American style. Despite the fact that the majority of the poems recited here were never published in her lifetime, Dickinson remains one of the most influential voices in American literature. Editorial Reviews: Introverted and reclusive, American poet Emily Dickinson lived almost her entire life in seclusion away from everyone other than her family. Her poetry, which was published four years after her death, often expressed her loneliness, along with her thoughts and feelings on themes such as death and immortality. Narrator Marianne Fraulo performs Dickinson's poems with a kind of restrained passion allowing the poem's interior moods - from the melancholy to the arch and self-deprecating - to come through to the listener.

Members Reviews: my Emily I never realized how common it was for Emily to use certain words. Some of her favorite references and themes are repeated but always in a different way. I love her work and will be listening to this over and over, I am sure. Good reading of a gifted poet I haven't spent time with Emily Dickinson for many years and bought this on a whim. The narrator is good with a pleasant voice that is appropriate for a poetry reading. One might like to keep a book of her poems handy so that you can spend some times with those poems that strike you as special. Dickinson One of my favorite poets growing up.

Whether it is the actual end of our lifes journey or merely a transit point to heavenly glory, its actual point of impact is, obviously, life-changing. But what do poets think of it? How do their minds tangle with the subject and make sense of this? Thats what we wondered, too. Poets as rich and diverse as Longfellow, Hood, Bronte, Burns, and Gibran here share their words, thoughts and visions with us. Death is unavoidable, but the journey there should be as informed and enjoyable as possible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Letters-to-a-Young-Poet-Audiobook/B00EO3OUU0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent encounter with the poet. What made the experience of listening to The Great Poets the most enjoyable? The variety of moods achieved in selection and voice. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Irrelevant. It is not a story. What does Jeremy Northam bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. It is not a story. Any additional comments? I found this a remarkable achievement of reading GMHOPKINS -what's not to love There have been querulous, dowdy, unfeeling readings of gmh - this is not one of those. Jeremy Northam's reading brings richness to an already sumptuous repast. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mikhail-Lermontov-Selected-Poetry-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B0149NVXS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Words exquisite RUINED by music T.S. Eliots words are exsquisit as always. I've read them many times. I was very disappointed in this audio version, however. The background music is LOUD and overpowering. At times I could not make out the words AT ALL for the overpowering background music. In addition, there are times when the narrator uses a really annoying, unnecessary hallow echo effect as if speaking into a metal tube. It is distracting, strange and not needed. Really. Just Elliot's words are enough. Just read his words, please. No cheesy, silly, over powering music or special effects are necessary. Dreadful, Overbearing Production Required Refund Whoever thought playing loud, discordant music that drowns out the sound of the reading of TS Eliot's "Hollow Men" was a good idea is an IDIOT. The poetry, of course, is the reason you download this - and you can't even HEAR it over the discordant cacophony of "music." And - uh - poetry has its own meter, so overlaying other soundtracks over it makes it pretty difficult to absorb the original work. I exercised Audible's refund option. Do you like elevator music? If so, this is for you Any additional comments? 1 hour and 2 minutes containing 4 poems interspersed with too-long intervals of really boring music and ending with an unbroken, 30 minute section, of elevator music. Disaster Great rendition with exception of the musical background. It's too loud and goes on for an extensive 25 additional minutes. Waste of money despite the book being a cheap purchase. I'm very dissatisfied. Awful. I do wish audible would do a better job of screening its collection. Horrible Aaah. I've never written a review but this is a necessary community service. The poor voices are as nothing when compared with the spooky weird music that they struggle against and finnally lose to. The last 20 odd minutes is just the the 'music'. Zero stars does not seem to be permitted so the single star is for those who enjoy self abuse. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Emily-Dickinson-A-Poet-in-Verse-Audiobook/B007UPJEDM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Emily Dickinson: A Poet in Verse Author: Emily Dickinson Narrator: Patricia Rodriguez, Richard Mitchley, Tim Graham, Gideon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 04-16-12 Publisher: The Copyright Group Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: As private as she was eccentric, Emily Dickinson published only a handful of poems in her lifetime.

Members Reviews: If you have never LISTENED to Dickinson, do. I have been a LIFE LONG fan of verse and poetic form. Since childhood (Im 33) I have naturally just fell into line with the style and written throughout my life for pure pleasure. I own almost every classic collection you can think of in every form imaginable. I never owned Dickinson however picked her up a week ago in a used book store. I started reading and was surprised to like, ehhh, a few. I wrongly assumed her to be a nature loving loafer and I am not one tended towards nature poems. Then I accidentally purchased my whole cart earlier tonight and this was in my library. So I gave her another shot. WHAT A MOMENT OF SELF AWARENESS IN MY OWN NAIVE ASSUMPTIONS!!!!! She is simply layered, refreshingly dark, intriguinging, soul piercing and everything a modern Instagram poet only wishes to capture into the page. As far as myself, she has fired up my creative engine and I am ready to climb out of bed (its 5am) and write! Who needs sleep right? Apparently she spent much time to herself and was quite fond of her melancholy. Oh, another surprise as I too am exactly the same. Maybe next time I shall take a walk in nature with her. I will probably listen to this more than once (or thrice for that matter). The narrators are great and the variety adds a nice fluidity and change of scenery for the mind as they do not start running together and allowing the listener to get lost in thought. I appreciate that in this collection. If you are new to poetry or young, listen with the full knowledge that Dickinson is a breed of her own. Her grammatical merits are purposefully placed for a reason. She is a very deep and pondering soul and very self aware. I can see why she flew over my radar for a while. I had to understand the pains of life before I could appreciate thoroughly this wonderful poet. Stark and blunt this is already easily a favorite which I will buy in book form. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Don-Juan-Audiobook/B00HRHQHRE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The importance of font size When reading the first two Cantos I made a big mistake, a huge visual mistake: While reading in my Kindle, I used a font size that made the stanzas and lines look awkward, with verses almost always occupying more than one line. Once I reduced the size of the fonts, everything acquired the adequate proportions: I could see the stanzas forming a unit, and each verse occupying only one line, as it should be! This is a wonderful book that makes for great reading. Lord Byron's mastery of English, coupled with his permanent irony and that wit that makes you laugh so often, bringing you back to earth with a thud after you had enjoyed a passage that seemed so lyric... One thing I did miss in this Kindle edition was that the stanzas were not numbered. But again, it's a good edition, and it's for free. Another pleasant surprise I never read Don Juan during my school years, although I had browsed through some other works by Byron. I doubt I ever would have looked at Don Juan were it not available as a free download here, and what a terrific read it has been: poetry written with joy and style and care. Byron chose his words with even more care than he did his ideas. save it for your 3rd year english sorry, byron is not for me an absolute classic Byron was not only a great poet but also a visionary in terms of his insights into how human emotions drive their actions and behavior. No other poet could turn facts and evidence into so many memorable lines. Genius somewhat sloppily displayed I'm not reviewing "Don Juan" as such, which I love unreservedly. So clever, so funny, with beautiful lyrical moments to take your breath away. Reading it made me think that perhaps poetry is not best suited to a Kindle, but I realise it's just this edition, which is somewhat careless typographically. It would be so nice to see his name correct on the cover, too. George Gordon, Lord Byron. Or just George Gordon. Or just Byron. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Selected-Poems-of-Li-Po-Audiobook/B0788XQXDW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His work is suffused with Taoism and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism, but these seem not so much spiritual influences as the inborn form of his life. There is a set-phrase in Chinese referring to the phenomenon of Li Po: "Winds of the immortals, bones of the Tao." He moved through this world with an unearthly freedom from attachment, and at the same time belonged profoundly to the earth and its process of change. However ethereal in spirit, his poems remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. He wrote 1,200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed. Legendary friends in eighth-century T'ang China, Li Po and Tu Fu are traditionally celebrated as the two greatest poets in the Chinese canon. David Hintons translation of Li Pos poems is no less an achievement than his critically acclaimed The Selected Poems of Tu Fu, also published by New Directions. By reflecting the ambiguity and density of the original, Hinton continues to create compelling English poems that alter our conception of Chinese poetry. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Po Li) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 00:31:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Selected-Poems-of-Li-Po-Audiobook/B0788XQXDW thebookvoice.com 02:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Michael MacLiammoir's rendition is far superior This review is written in response to the disappointment expressed by the preceding reviewers. I own multiple Audible.com recordings of "The Rubaiyat" (including this one). Perhaps the BEST, by British actor Michael MacLiammoir, is the second poem [157-22:50] of "The World's Greatest Poetry Volume 5." It also happens to be the complete, original (= canonical) Edward Fitzgerald "translation," whereas Davies reads here an alternate, non-standard version which I consider inferior. What is the point of this recording? I've been looking for an English recording, and I was pointed to this one. I have to agree with the first reviewer that this is pretty monotonous and pointless. I don't understand why, if it is supposed to be in RP, it has 'shaft' with a short 'a' and 'herb' without the 'h'. It seems to fall between many stools. It lacks all passion - and the poem is passionate. It isn't read in either English, or Yank, so why would anybody want it? As i say, I was looking for a good, passionate and engaging reading with an RP delivery. There doesn't seem such a thing, so my intention is to produce one. Not Worth It I bought this audio book because it had a high rating. I don't know how it got that rating but I feel it is underserved. As a person who loves the poem and has read it many, many times I have to say that this reading is not just boring, it is down right sleep-inducing. The reader, whose voice is soft, maintains a rhythm that does not fit the poem and makes it appear he is concentrating on the meter and not the words themselves. The tempo is off, pauses are awkward and lines that should roll rather fall, and slowly, with each word almost followed by a half-pause. I forced myself to listen to the whole thing and it never gets better. If you click the sample you can understand what I mean. The tempo in the sample is maintained throughout the whole poem and the delivery is identical, un-shifting, soporific and drama-less. But its a remarkably good cure for insomnia! - Pete McHugh Classic I'd never read This was always something I knew existed- but nothing about -save Rocky & Bullwinkle's "Ruby Yacht". It's classic for a reason. It's a long poem, apparently by a Muslim, that positively revels in the joys of Drink and bemoans the shortness of life. It is full of quoteworthy sayings for fancy bar/restaraunt walls. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Evgenii-Onegin-Audiobook/B00852GS42 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 'Breathtakingly brilliant tour de force' Any additional comments? I know very little about Russian literature, to say nothing of the challenges it poses for English translation, though I've heard said that no less a Russian literary genius than Vladimir Nabokov declared Pushkin's classical verse novel "Evgenii Onegin" "mathematically impossible to translate." Which didn't stop him from trying (albeit in prose). Mary Hobson herself told a BBC interviewer that "although I keep translating him he's absolutely untranslatable" (6 January 2004)! Here, the justly acclaimed Shakespearean actor and Audible stalwart Neville Jason turns in a brilliant performance in the first-ever recording of Mary Hobson's amazing new translation, mostly in iambic tetrameter, of "Evgenii Onegin." Now, there have been over two dozen previous translations of this work, in various poetic and prose formats. Doctoral dissertations have been written on the challenges of translating Pushkin. All I know is that I love this current rendition but I also very much like the equally lively Kindle version "Eugene Oneguine" by Henry Spalding (1881), which doesn't seem a bit outdated to me. In fact, it's fun (if not especially easy!) to read and compare the latter work (perhaps not line by line, but rather stanza by stanza) with Mary Hobson's Audible translation. One of the coolest things about "Evgenii Onegin: A New Translation by Mary Hobson" is the backstory. Now 86, British homemaker and grandmother Mary Hobson went to university and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Russian in her 60s, after reading and falling in love with "War and Peace" (in English) while laid up in the hospital. She went on to complete a PhD in Russian literature when she was 74. Dr. Hobson has earned the Griboedov Prize (1996), Pushkin Gold Medal (1999), and Peredvizhnik Prize (2009), among other prestigious Russian translation awards. Guardian critic Sue Arnold recently called Mary Hobson's "Evgenii Onegin" a "BREATHTAKINGLY BRILLIANT TOUR DE FOURCE" (8 June 2012). But realizing she's getting too old for her whirlwind winter commutes to Moscow and Irkutsk ["My idea of hell is a holiday in the sun ... I never feel so good as in really freezing weather!"], Dr. Hobson has recently changed her focus from Russian to ancient Greek. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Romantic-Poets-Audiobook/B003U4RZ4W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Romantic Poets...you're on your own The problem with this piece is two-fold. (a) the sound quality is uneven and (b) the poems are read without including the Title or Author. So, unless you already know the material, you're on your own. very poor This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Nothing is identified in this audiobook. No titles, no authors, no readers. What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? It needs a table of contents, and the titles and speakers should be identified. How could the performance have been better? The sound quality is very uneven, sometimes bad. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Romantic Poets? That is hard to say, since no poems or titles are given. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mihai-Eminescu-The-Legend-of-the-Evening-Star-Legenda-Luceafarului-Audiobook/B013PUVWA8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is the story of a young princess' longing and impossible love for the immortal star who, sharing her love, takes human form and tries to become mortal. The Eve Star's flight back through time and space to Father Demiurge in search of it, as part of this enticing romantic tale, combines poetic substance and existential insights that will delight any listener. Mr. Sahlean is justly considered the premiere translator of Eminescu into English. This rendition has no sense of limitation or restriction found in some translations and is truly rewarding when heard aloud.

Members Reviews: Loved it then , love it now Beautiful poetry, i recommended for all ages. I read it when I was in my 3rd grade and enjoyed the love story and I love it now even more, for the amazing poetry. great poems, beautiful art work great poems, beautiful art work, Eminescu is one of the greatest artists of all time!, the translation is good, ...but you may have to learn Romanian to truly appreciate his genius! Five Stars Excellent translation! Exceptional translation of a great poem I like this English version very much; the poem flows and the characters come to life. I just hope more and more Americans will find the time to enjoy truly great Romantic (and Romanian) poetry. A Wonderful and Engaging Translation This translation of Mihai Eminescu's masterwork captures the essence of the original work's musicality and poetic nuance. Translated in the style of English-language poetry of the period (late 19th Century), it flows easily and is rewarding when read aloud. Mr. Sahlean is justly considered the premiere translator of Eminescu into English, and this illustrated edition succeeds as a tribute to Romania's "National Poet". There is no sense of limitation or restriction found in some translations, and especially gratifying are lines and stanzas that capture the imagination. My favorites include: "Men merely live by stars of luck/ And star-crossed fatefulness..." and "Sweet scented blossom fills the air/And falls in silver rain..." There are many other moments of surpassing beauty to be found within this work--it will become a treasured addition to any poetry collection. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-African-American-Literary-Voices-Audiobook/B0036O3XMO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It takes a certain courage and incredible skill to deliver all the verses of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Frankie and Johnny" without falling into melody, and this skilled ensemble delivers a highly accomplished narration of a host of American classic poems, in the tones and accents in which they have traditionally been heard.

Critic Reviews: "[An] excellent selection...this skilled ensemble delivers a highly accomplished reading." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Just dawdle I found the selections of this recording tedious. There are a few classics: the best-known of Emily Dickenson, Frost's "The Road Less Travelled", "O Captain, My Captain" by Whitman. However, beyond the few gems, it's one 19th century forced rhyme scheme after another. Old, dull images, and boring language--all the sorts of things the best American poets of the 20th century rejected. It's rather sad, then, that some of the best American poetry to this date--Eliot, Stevens, Pound, etc. is passed over in favor of patriotic tripe and period pieces. What's more, even the good poems are painful to listen to because of pompous, un-insightful narrators. The quality of the readings is so bad I found it difficult to finish any single track. One is reminded of Hamlet or Cyrano's famous diatrabs on delivery. These readers are "mouthers" of the worst sort. Awful awful awful! Unless you're looking for a collection of poems to listen to while saluting the flag and consulting Reader's Digest, skip this one. good reading I hope someone can list the title and the poet for the entire CD, so I can look up the poems.

Members Reviews: The Poetry of Scotland I just wish the readers would announce the title and author of each poem, and the name of the reader. Otherwise, it's a delightful book. Enjoyable collection of poetry for a Burns dinner What made the experience of listening to The Poetry of Scotland the most enjoyable? Wonderful readers immersed me in Scottish poetry! It was a good selection of poetry too. Any additional comments? I loved listening to this in the evening as I wound down. I look for collections of poetry that I can listen to before bed, and this was perfect! Scots wha hae! I loved every moment listening to the rendition of the scots brough... Great poets all. A very loverly hour or so spent in Bonnie Scotland... A must for Burns Day It is a good mix of authors and reads with everything well read. Pro and a con is that it's a series of poems with minimal introduction or commentary. There is no interference with the poems but I would also like to learn more about them too. Trip down memory lane poems from my youth. Good selection, some better read than others which had a few words more anglicised than my recalled ones, but overall ok https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Emily-Dickinson-Audiobook/B007QVN9MM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Emily Dickinson Subtitle: Selected Poems Author: Emily Dickinson Narrator: Mary Woods Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 04-03-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Emily Dickinson today has gained her deserved place alongside Walt Whitman as one of the two greatest American poets of the 19th century. Beginning always with particulars of personal experience, her poems encompass life and death, love and longing, joyfulness and sorrow. With sparse, precise language, she conveyed a penetrating vision of the natural world and an acute understanding of the most profound human truths. The poems included in this collection are grouped by three time periods, 1890, 1891, and 1896, and by the subjects of life, love, nature, and time and eternity. Critic Reviews: If there were ever a poet whose work begged to be heard, it would be Dickinson. (Library Journal) Her poems are remarkable for their condensation, their vividness of image, their delicate or pungent satire and irony, their childlike responsiveness to experience, their subtle feeling for naturetheir excellence in imaginative insight and still greater excellence in fancy. (Cambridge History of American Literature) I find ecstacy in living, she said to Higginson, and spoke truly, as her poems show. In an unexpected light on orchards, in a wistful mood of meadow or wood-border held secure for a moment before it vanishedin the echoes, obscure in origin, that stirred within her own mind and soul, now a tenuous melody, now a deep harmony, a haunting question, or a memorable affirmation - everywhere she displayed something of the mystics insight and joy.

(Norman Foerster) Members Reviews: Computer Reading Voice According to Audible, this title was "Narrated by Mary Woods". REALLY?! 1) "Mary Woods" must be the name of a computer and 2) I wouldn't call that "narrating." It literally sounds like someone downloaded an eBook of Dickinson's poems, turned on the accessibility feature for blind users, and then recorded the computer reading Dickinson's poems with absolutely no inflection, emotion, human warmth, or personality. I am completely disgusted by the egregious injustice done to Dickinson and her work and I am requesting a refund. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/49-Poems-from-The-Flowers-of-Evil-Audiobook/B01E72RGDU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The great names - Owen, Sassoon - are fully represented, but there are also many poems by lesser-known or unexpected figures, ranging from serving soldiers like Isaac Rosenberg and Richard Aldington to women such as Edith Nesbit and Vera Brittain. The poems are arranged by theme to give a sense of how the writers' feelings and attitudes evolved. Editorial Reviews: Poets of the Great War presents a moving collection of poetic works produced during World War I, with authors ranging from the famous (Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Isaac Rosenberg) to the less-famous, but equally worthy of regard (Edward Thomas, Edith Nesbit, and Vera Brittain). Dramatic performances from a cast of respected actors of stage and screen lend these pieces an intense, emotional depth - of particular note is Michael Sheen, who, after the production of this audiobook, went on to great success in films and television series like The Queen, Frost/Nixon, and Masters of Sex. Poignant and stirring, the collection comes to an emotionally satisfying conclusion with Laurence Binyon's "For The Fallen", a eulogy for the war's dead. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Wilfred Owen) Thu, 26 Oct 2000 21:38:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Poets-of-the-Great-War-Audiobook/B0036GPXHA thebookvoice.com 00:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great War Poets, great poetry, great work Beautifully done, and a work worth listening to. I found I could only take this in small bouts as each poem is emotionally charged and puts you in the trenches or stretches. These poets where great writers and the narrators fantastic. I will pull this one out each Anzac Day and listen to it as it not only puts you in the mood, it makes you feel the sacrifice. Love this work. Enter into the minds of the chaps fighting WWI Loved it. A wonderful and chilling collection. Really an essential to any WWI enthusiasts book collection. moving this is an excellent selection of war poems. Well worth the price.

This is the second time that the words have been drowned out by sound effects and music. If you want to add music and effects do so at half the volume of the narrator. I wasted my time and money since I obviously wanted to hear the words in an "audio book" NOTE: "BOOK" IS THE OPERATIVE WORD! poor sound quality It's just so sad but the background sound effects overpower the voices. Seagulls and ocean waves are nice but I really wanted to hear Richard Burton, ya know? Horrific acoustics This is w/out question the poorest possible recording ever made. I concur 110% w/the other reviewers. The words are completely undecipherable because of the sound effects. Mr. Burton's voice and accent add charm but it sounds like it was made inside a Cambell soup can. There is no amount of treble/bass adjustment you can possible make to negate this production. By all means, save your money, look elsewhere, perhaps in the public domain. I personally think Audible.com should remove this item. It is worthless and not in keeping with their standards. If it was possible to give it a negative number, I would. Horrible Music And Absurd Special Effects What disappointed you about The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? Aweful! The music drowns out the narrator (who is actually good) and the special effects are so bad that the listener is too distracted and annoyed to follow the poem. And, the narrator is speaking in old English but the music is New Age with drums, piano, etc. At times the sound is upbeat when the story is telling about death! What?! Absolute disrespect for the poem; the producer and sound mixer were not considerate of the poem. Plus, it has too many breaks, long stretches of music without any narration, weird dramatic echoes of repeated phrases, and terrible selections of music. This company doesn't deserve my money, because in my opinion they ruin a great piece of poetry. What did you like best about this story? The narrator and the poem are good. What didnt you like about Richard Burtons performance? Nothing. He did a good job. It was the production that was bad, with the music and special effects. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? Cut out the music, special effects, and long breaks! Then I would buy this book again. Any additional comments? Please produce this poem differently. Should have believed other reviewers! When I was in high school, my English teacher played us a record of Richard Burton reading the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. After over 40 years, I still remember it as one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard and was overjoyed to find this. I thought "What could a little music hurt?" I found out. First of all, Richard Burton reading poetry is ALREADY pure music. Anything else is superfluous.

NOT THE ENTIRE BOOK! I was expecting the full book, not an extrait. This was a waste of money.

Title: Omar Khayyam Author: John Pollen Narrator: Denis Daly Format: Unabridged Length: 50 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-17 Publisher: Spoken Realms Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: John Pollen (1855-1923) was an official in the Indian Civil Service. A keen linguist, he learned Russian, Esperanto, and Persian and in 1915 published an English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. His collection contains 158 quatrains and includes a set of seven prefatory quatrains by Andrew Lang and a foreword by the Aga Khan. John Pollen was a keen activist against discrimination against Indians, and his translation of the Rubaiyat was published to raise funds for the welfare of Indian soldiers engaged in World War I. In the foreword, the Aga Khan wrote: 'The charm of the Rubayiat, which lies in the intensely human spirit pervading them, is enhanced by the poet's inimitable directness of expression, his terse and incisive phrases and a simple grace of style, with that unrivalled and untranslatable music of words to which the sonorous language of Persia peculiarly lends itself. To reproduce these subtle features of the original in a translation is not an easy undertaking. FitzGerald succeeded in a remarkable degree in bringing out the spirit of Omar's quatrains in his famous translation; which in some respects transcends the beauty of the original, but to achieve this end he had to diverge from the letter of the Rubayiat as well as from the sequence of the verses. Dr. John Pollen in his more faithful translation has accomplished a task of greater difficulty, and has done justice both to the letter and to the spirit of the original. In its simple and attractive garb the version now offered to the public, for the benefit of the Indi an soldiers who are now laying down their lives for the Empire on the battlefields of three continents, deserves to find a place on the bookshelves of the numerous admirers of the poet in the English-speaking world.' bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (John Pollen) Fri, 07 Apr 2017 19:22:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Omar-Khayyam-Audiobook/B06Y3FN4Y5 thebookvoice.com 00:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

La Dame aux Camélias falls into that category. Our heroine, Marguerite, is an upper-class courtesan, but she does redeem herself in the eyes of her lover, Armand, and of our unnamed narrator who hears Armand's story. To say any more would amount to a spoiler, but the author is telling us that the love is genuineâwe can tell that by her actions. As in any love story, there are a number of misunderstandings that need to be worked out. At the same time, hearing the tale from Armand's somewhat naive perspective, we find the description of his young love very appealing. This does not have the lively action that the novels of Alexandre Dumas, père, would have, but it is a kind of drawing-room novel with plenty of psychology and questions that need to be answered. The story begins with Marguerite's estate sale, so it is no spoiler to say that she dies in the course of the story, but this is no more a tragedy than Cyrano de Bergerac. This reviewer did read the book in French, but like Les Misérables, the English translations usually have kept the French title. Three Stars Enjoyable enough of a book, but it requires some concentration if you are naturally English-speaking. MISPRESENTATION ! This is not what was advertised ! The description says "La Dame Aux Camelias (Camille) (French Edition) (Paperback) by Alexandre Dumas (Author) " This implies that this is the NOVEL not the Play. Instead I received the stage play of the story (in French and English,) NOT the original novel. Furthermore, the quality of this "reprint from the collection of the University of Michigan Library" is poor and is literally a collection of photocopies of the text of the play published in 1880. Although historically it may be interesting for someone, ( described " as presented by Sarah Bernhardt" ) it is not at all what was described. I am returning this immediately since it can not be used for the French lit class for which it is needed. A wonderful chance La Dame aux Camélias is a classic. A lot has been written about this work and about its author: Dumas. I can not add nothing to this wonderful novel, then a piece of theater and ultimately an opera by Verdi.What is a wonderful chance is the oportunity to have it in its original french version in my kindle. This is an added value to the library that Amazon offers to Kindle readers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Rime-of-the-Ancient-Mariner-and-Other-Poems-Audiobook/B076ZT6WB6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

L'Albatros © Domaine public (P)2008 Éditions Thélème Avis des membres: Baudelaire is great but.. Firstly, I love Les Fleur du Mal and Charles Baudelaire is quickly becoming my favorite writer. I only gave this version four stars because I did not like this translation. I found it to be too literal which slightly detracted from the writing. Personally, my favorite translation is by Norman Shapiro. While Shapiro's version is not as literal a translation as this one, I feel he does a better job of retaining the rhythm and essence of Baudelaire's writings. Again, that is just my personal preference but I would suggest trying to find Baudelaire's writings at a local bookstore or library first so you can compare different translations and see which one you like best before purchasing. High marks for form, lower ones for execution Weird! I love that the translating poets went for it in terms of meter and rhyme -- very cool. However, the results are not as faithful as the concept. Still, inspiring -- and Millay's intro is a great read. but this guy had some great concepts in his poetry I am not a fan of Poetry, but this guy had some great concepts in his poetry. Having the French with English translation on the next page really helped me as a native English speaker to get the flow of the poetry and pick up (or disagree with the translator) on the parts I didn't quite understand. Les Fleus du Mal I suppose I'm predisposed to love this work (and love it I did!) because of my love of French literature in general and 19th century French poetry in particular. That being admitted, I still believe this to be one of the finest volumes of poetry ever written. The flow of the language is beautiful (try reading out loud or listening to a recording on YouTube) and the juxtaposition of beauty and sordidness powerful. If you love poetry, 19th century urban romanticism, or the power and imagery of the French language, read this volume. Baudelaire is one of the greatest of poets of all time. French Dandy Charles Baudelaire, Genial and lucid French poet, essayist, translator of the fantastic Edgar Allan Poe, and Art critic from the 19th.

Que faites-vous ? Vous marchez. Vous dotez le ciel de l'art d'on ne sait quel rayon macabre. Vous créez un frisson nouveau. (...) Vous êtes un noble esprit et un généreux cœur. Vous écrivez des choses profondes et souvent sereines. Vous aimez le beau. Donnez-moi la main." Victor Hugo, Lettre à Charles Baudelaire 6 octobre 1859 © De Vive Voix 2005 Avis des membres: Baudelaire is great but.. Firstly, I love Les Fleur du Mal and Charles Baudelaire is quickly becoming my favorite writer. I only gave this version four stars because I did not like this translation. I found it to be too literal which slightly detracted from the writing. Personally, my favorite translation is by Norman Shapiro. While Shapiro's version is not as literal a translation as this one, I feel he does a better job of retaining the rhythm and essence of Baudelaire's writings. Again, that is just my personal preference but I would suggest trying to find Baudelaire's writings at a local bookstore or library first so you can compare different translations and see which one you like best before purchasing. High marks for form, lower ones for execution Weird! I love that the translating poets went for it in terms of meter and rhyme -- very cool. However, the results are not as faithful as the concept. Still, inspiring -- and Millay's intro is a great read. but this guy had some great concepts in his poetry I am not a fan of Poetry, but this guy had some great concepts in his poetry. Having the French with English translation on the next page really helped me as a native English speaker to get the flow of the poetry and pick up (or disagree with the translator) on the parts I didn't quite understand. Les Fleus du Mal I suppose I'm predisposed to love this work (and love it I did!) because of my love of French literature in general and 19th century French poetry in particular. That being admitted, I still believe this to be one of the finest volumes of poetry ever written. The flow of the language is beautiful (try reading out loud or listening to a recording on YouTube) and the juxtaposition of beauty and sordidness powerful. If you love poetry, 19th century urban romanticism, or the power and imagery of the French language, read this volume. Baudelaire is one of the greatest of poets of all time. French Dandy Charles Baudelaire, Genial and lucid French poet, essayist, translator of the fantastic Edgar Allan Poe, and Art critic from the 19th. I recommend the following site http://fleursdumal.org/ as many translations have been done of his beautiful poems, but some are, as you can imagine, better than others... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Voices-of-Poetry-Volume-1-Audiobook/B00328810I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Elle refuse la facilité et préfère se rebeller, ne voulant pas céder à une prétendue fatalité... Créon pour sa part, revendique de faire un "sale boulot" parce que c'est son rôle et qu'il faut bien que quelqu'un le fasse. Anouilh s'inspire du geste de Paul Collette, un résistant français qui avait tiré sur Pierre Laval, chef du gouvernement de Vichy, le 27 août 1941. Jean Anouilh, en écrivant cette pièce de théâtre, trouve ainsi le moyen de dénoncer la passivité de certains face aux lois dictées par les nazis.

Members Reviews: Decent selection of poems, great readings If you could sum up Winter Words in three words, what would they be? The best part of this book is not merely the poems but the biographical material written in third person by Hardy himself. Very insightful. And delightful. What other book might you compare Winter Words to and why? Hmm. Any items the "Great Poets" series is well worth the listen. Which scene was your favorite? The performance of Hardy's love poetry is moving. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? If I laughed, it was out of delight. Any additional comments? If you love poetry--and sadly fewer and fewer do--this will be a true delight. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Four-Quartets-Audiobook/B0160FQWMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Eliot isn't for everyone, and I suspect he'd be proud of that. Much of 'Four Quartets', however brilliant, is also mired in the sort of intellectual bombast that critics celebrate for its seriousness and technical finesse. Praise must be given here to Ralph Fiennes, whose delivery does much to revivify the more arid areas of the text. With an almost hypnotic smoothness, he elevates poetic posturing to a point where the listener can't help but be immersed in the shifting landscape. As 'garlic and sapphires in the mud clot the bedded axletree' of Eliot's often precise, often deliberate convolutions, Fiennes delivery is as haunting as it is 'fructifying'. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Narrow-Road-to-the-Interior-and-Hojoki-Audiobook/B002V5D7MK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It has been said of The Narrow Road that 'it was as if the very soul of Japan had itself written it'. It takes the form of a travel diary, and traces the poet's journey from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to the northern interior. Hojoki, a much earlier work written by Chomei, a Buddhist hermit, is essentially a meditation on the transience of the world. Read by the famous classical Japanese actor Togo Igawa, the full beauty of its ancient cadences and rhythms is drawn out. Editorial Reviews: This fine rendering of two classic Japanese tales about the contemplative life demonstrates the power and effectiveness of the Naxos method of combining classic literature and classical music. The modern translations are enriched with verse excerpts in Japanese, traditional Japanese instruments in the musical bridges, and the use of Japanese actors as narrators. "Höjöki" ("The Ten-Foot Square Hut") is the shorter and more accessible of the two works, and Togo Igawa is the more appealing of the two narrators. Takashi Sudo and his tale require more patience, and closer attention. This outstanding production is an excellent introduction to two of the staples of Japanese literature.

However the narrator for the second story has such a heavy accent and the recording quality is so poor that the piece is VERY difficult to understand. Narrow Road narrowly passes Although this title says this is read by one reader it certainly doesn't sound like it. When I got to the Narrow Road, which is not the first story read, I was surprised to hear that the reader had a much heavier Japanese accent. Although I can appreciate this approach it is a little hard to understand and requires constant concentration. Moreover I believe all the haiku are in Japanese - a real disappointment. I give this 2 stars only because it is Basho, but without the poetry, and it is the only version available. excellent superb & excellent. like all of naxos audios this is well done and a fine listen. the japanese actors make it even better. Straw slippers After hearing these two readings I feel I have to try to distill the essence of the stories into as few words as possible. Reflecting the world in a microcosm, distilling life into a haiku poem is illustrated by these two masters of the art. Hojoki's descriptions of the destructive force of the elements - fire, air and earth are terrifyingly vivid and Basho's haiku poems inspired by his travels evoke unforgettable images in one's mind. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Waste-Land-and-Other-Poems-Audiobook/B01N5VNRFW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He came to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965. Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire. His first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published by Faber and Faber and was followed by many volumes of poetry and prose for adults and children, including River (1983). He received the Whitbread Book of the Year for both Tales from Ovid (1997) and Birthday Letters (1998). He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit. Critic Reviews: "Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble." (Ted Hughes) "'The Waste Land' is one of the most important poems of the 20th century." (Andrew Motion, Independent) "Eliot's 'Waste Land' is I think the justification of the 'movement', of our modern experiment, since 1900." (Ezra Pound, letter to Felix E. Schelling) "'The Waste Land' is unquestionably important, unquestionably brilliant.... One of the most moving and original poems of our time." (Conrad Aiken, New Republic) "'The Waste Land' is Mr Eliot's greatest achievement." (E. M. Forster) "'The Waste Land' remains a great positive achievement, and one of the first importance for English poetry. In it a mind fully alive in the age compels a poetic triumph." (F. R. Leavis) "A damn good poem...about enough, Eliot's poem, to make the rest of us shut up shop." (Ezra Pound) bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (T. S.

(Ezra Pound) Members Reviews: Masterpiece Many have said this is probably the most difficult poem of all time because of its complexity. It has been suggested that Eliot did not fully appreciate what he had created. This is a work that needs to be read many times. I was introduced to it in an advanced English class in high school. It will stand the test of time along with Shakespeare. Wonderful poet and poetry book. I love T.S. Eliotâs poetry books so I just had to add this one to my bookshelf. Iâve read it numerous times and each time I have a new-found appreciation for it. Five Stars beautiful book good buy,wife has a collection she loved it Five Stars Very nice pocket poetry. Would make a great gift for someone just starting to get into poetry.

Members Reviews: Wasted Talent Thomas so want read any of his poems just feom.King Lear and others. I think the BBC one is the one we want. Wonderful Recording Would you consider the audio edition of The Very Best of Dylan Thomas Reading to be better than the print version? It's a treat to hear Dylan Thomas reading these beautiful works. I was disappointed that all works were not introduced before the reading of the particular work started. An annoying production flaw. Its still a wonderful listen. Rerecording of his performing other poets' work It was a wonderful experience to hear Dylan Thomas performing other poets. He is unique and his take on the work enlightening. The recording was a bit tunny sounding and at times not real clear. Still a great pleasure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Poems-by-Percy-Shelley-Audiobook/B0036I8Y3I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The breadth, depth, and soul of the man is astounding; his love and invention endless. What truly defines this collection over others is Mary Shelley's presence running through it, providing vivid, incredibly poignant and grounded counterpoint to Shelley's flights of fancy. To get a true sense of his gifts as a poet, you have to dig into the longer work - none of which you're going to find in the Norton Anthology of Poetry. Just another reason this book rocks. Shelley was a revolutionary, both in form and content. His finer efforts stands alongside the best the English language has produced. Dig it in the way it was written; heart to hand, pen to paper, and unexcerpted. best of 1820. A selection of unusual ideas called The Unknown Poe has a few pages on Shelley that praises his poem The Sensitive Plant for having too many ideas the minds of piffle people would not comprehend. Poe was the Imp of the Perverse appreciated by French poets and Andre Breton in The Unknown Poet. I read a lot of the Table of Contents of The Complete Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley before I saw The Sensitive Plant as the first poem of 1820. It describes a year of life in a garden tended by a woman who died before winter came. Poe liked the abandon with which Percy wrote for his own self in great inspiration. On the pages before The Sensitive Plant in this book there is a discarded stanza of The Mask of Anarchy replaced by two other stanzas and a description of the impact of events on Shelley in a note by Mary Shelley, who lived many years longer than Shelley and revised the first and second editions of this book. Following the poem The Mask of Anarchy, the poem Peter Bell the Third describes the life of Peter Bell, a character of dulness created by Wordsworth after the death of Peter Bell. Part the Third of Peter Bell the Third is Hell. Part the Sixth is Damnation and Part the Seventh Double Damnation. A note by Mary Shelley attributes insults in this poem to Percy's genuine reaction to the idea of legitimate murder. As The Mask of Anarchy has grass that runs with blood, Peter Bell the Third mentions drenched with blood. The translation of a drama Swellfoot from Greek tragedy is also in this book, with a chorus of swine. It does not take much imagination to determine who might be offended by things written in English on this theme. Language has the most overtones for those who approach it as clues in a mystery that dead people never solved. In the Bible, Job was based upon the ideas that made the land of Ur dominate its own people, but the speech in Job by Elihu, youngest confronting swine of Job handing out advice like American troops in Vietnam in favor of war winding down, uses Hebrew to say things about the rich dominating the poor that Shelley echoes in poems that seem subversive to authority trying to triumph over anarchy by using force against people who assert themselves. Buyer beware! This disgraceful edition calls itself the "Complete Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Divine-Comedy-Inferno-CliffsNotes-Audiobook/B004S8JWLI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Life-changing This series, "Language of Life", though "only about poetry", was not only life-changing for me, but also ~ literally ~ for several of my friends who heard it. Coleman Barks' presentation of Rumi's poetry was exquisite and very moving. I have heard other productions of Barks reading Rumi's poetry, but none of them captured the magic as this presentation does. There is amazing life, vibrancy, passion and humor throughout all of the poets' presentations. As one poet says in the interviews, listening to a poet read his or her own words is like "fireworks for the ears". The performance poetry in this series will forever alter your perception of poetry, and will light a fire under the idea that language is your power, too. This series gorgeously illustrates that, as Rumi says, there are hundreds of ways "to kneel and kiss the ground." Politics and art are a bad mix The title deceived me. I thought it was about life in the broadest sense but this collection of brief interactions with so-called minority and feminist poets and samples of their work was heavily biased toward a minority anti-American, anti-White, narrowed perspective of poetry and art... I am not american and was looking for poetry with more transcendent qualities, able to get beyond surface preoccupations... If this collection represents the best of American poetry then the art is in trouble of being underwhelmed by mediocrity... Bill movers didn't challenge these political ideologues enough because just wanted his show done and dusted, it seems... Disappointing in the extreme... The Language of Boredom If you left English class with an indifferent attitude about poetry this collection will only serve to convince of the complete idiocy of the art form. Listening to these poets read their work in a breathless pretentious "I'm reading poetry! How inspiring!" voice while bad music played behind them utterly failed to change my life in any way. Though it did convince me that if you're trying for a global language of life it's probably music without words. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Fifty-Poems-of-Emily-Dickinson-Volume-2-Audiobook/B076DJVBMC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: What A Disappointment A CD that contains fifty poems of my favorite poet read in part by perhaps my favorite actress Meryl Streep-- now that's a CD you can tip your hat to-- well not exactly. If there ever was a poet whose works do not need background music while being read, it has to be those of Miss Dickinson. If we have to have music connected with the poems, we can listen to those poems that Aaron Copland and Ned Rorem set to music. The music on this CD had become pretty much a mild aggravation, a little like getting two radio stations on a car radio late at night, when on poem number 33, "The Lonely House," I recognized Robert Schumann's famous "Traumeri" as the music swelled. There is no excuse for this. The editors have allowed themselves to name some of the poems included here. Anyone who has ever read Dickinson knows that she never named any of her poems and that they are usually identified by first lines. It also would have been convenient for the listener if the words to the poems had been included with the CD. They are not. Neither are we told which reader is reading what poem. (In addition to Ms. Streep, Glenda Jackson, Stephanie Beacham and Sharon Stone read as well. While I recognize Glenda Jackson's voice and Ms. Streep's sometimes, I do not have the faintest idea what either Sharon Stone or Stephanie Beacham's voices sound like. I would gladly have paid more for a better produced CD. Even all these shortcomings cannot mar the beauty of these rich and wonderful poems with such lines as "the sordid excellence as paradise" if they could just turn off the music! And many of Miss Dickinson's lesser-known poems are included, along with some of those most often anthologized, including my favorite poem "The Bustle in a House." Five Stars Great poetry recited beautifully by professional actors/voices of Meryl Streep, Stephanie Beacham, Glenda Jackson and Sharon Stone. Excellent Readings, But NOT the Poems Listed on the CD These witty, sly, despairing performances breathe new life and new perspectives into the poems and the poet. Unfortunately, the poems listed on the back of the CD are NOT the poems you hear on the CD, which makes it difficult to know which actress is reading and exactly what she is reading. It's also impossible to directly access a poem directly --- everything falls under a 45 minute Track 1. Finally, this is Fifty Poems of Emily Dickinson, Volume 3. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Hafiz-Audiobook/B009PSLZHU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Love it!!! Three Stars Good book, interesting. A Disappointment I have read quotes from Hafiz in the works of other authors which were intriguing enough to get me to purchase this book. It is a long, exaggerated description of unrequited love. The translation is poorly done. The rhymes are stretched beyond credulity. There are jarring anachronisms. This was absolutely a waste of time and money. If I could give it zero stars I would. Good reading, you feel like doing something good for others. No matter what religion you profess, the word and wisdom from God is the same. Even if you don't profess a God, the philosophy in these pages are right for all who desire to live a good and fruitful life. The poetry of love. The poetry from so many years ago applies to my life right now and gives me inspiration to love God, others, the world, life itself freely and extravagantly. Thank you, Hafiz. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mukhtarat-Men-Diwan-Al-Shafii-Audiobook/B006ZO0EGK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good book Would you listen to Mukhtarat Men Diwan Al Shafi'i again? Why? Maybe, the reader has a very good voice and reads at a good pace. there's only one problem with this company's recordings, this book is made of segments some of them are two lines long and between each segment they play the name of the company "masmoo3 sawt al ma3rifa" it's distracting and annoys the listener, in an hour long recording you will hear this phrase more than 20 times. it would be great if they would not do that and instead just play the nature sound or a smooth tune between segments and only mention their name at the beginning and end of the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Modern-Scholar-Audiobook/B002VA99VI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An excellent class This is a series of class lecture by Professor Karen Karblener for the Modern Scholar. This series is on Walt Whitman 1819 to 1892. According to Karblener Whitman was beginning of American poetry and is often called the father of free verse. The teacher goes through Whitmans life and his poetry. She brings up controversy regarding his sexual orientation, his politics as a liberal democrat, being banned in Boston, and his opposition to slavery. She says Whitman was educated only to elementary school but was a printer and a reader. She states he was not considered successful in his lifetime but his poetry became sought after in the 20th century. She reads from some of his poems and discusses them such as Leaves of Grass. Overall it is a good introduction to Whitman. I remember little of what we discussed about Whitman in high school so this audio book allowed me to have a good understanding of Whitman and his place in American poetry. Ahead of His Time; And Maybe Even Ours I am very grateful to my bookclub for reintroducing me to Walt Whitman. Sure, he's a dead white man, but this classic writer defied all the rules of his time, and he still seems as fresh and radical - sometimes even shocking - as he must have in 19th century America. Professor Karbiener has obviously great knowledge of and enthusiasm for her poet. It's clear from the beginning that the study of Walt Whitman's life, work and influence could fill several semesters. In this 8 hour treatment, she gives us history, an overview of the work, and a clear feeling for the many ways Whitman has left his mark on American art and culture since his death in 1892. Every American can be inspired by this life and poetry. Whitman still stands for the very best that we can be - brave, accepting of the new and the strange and different, and full of energy and enthusiasm for the future! This course is way better than a week at a spa. Simply Brilliant! Would you consider the audio edition of The Modern Scholar to be better than the print version? Professor Karbiener is absolutely captivating. Previously, I've been a (very) casual Whitman reader. Dr. Karbiener's enthusiasm and eloquence has made me want to unfold and behold all things Whitman. I've listened to several lectures in the Modern Scholar series and have enjoyed them all. This, in my opinion, is the best of what I've heard so far. As a side note, Dr. Karbiener's voice is a joy to hear. Inspired Loved it! Easy to understand and a pleasure to listen to. Comprehensive and very interesting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Modern-Scholar-Audiobook/B002V0A62O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Shutt; (P)2005 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: A Tour de Force on a Tour de Force I first listened to these lectures when my wife and I were pursuing our conversion to Catholicism. 14 years later I have a much better understanding of what it means to be Catholic. While much of that understanding was acquired through reading, most of it has been gained by simply living day to day in the Faith. For that reason Dantes poem has far more to say to me now than it did way back when. And these lectures on that poem, which blew me away with the scope of what Ill call, for lack of a better term, the Catholic Imagination as exemplified by Dante Alighieri, still blow me away today. Professor Shutt is a modern academic. As such, he shuns the topics youd expect a modern academic to shun, gliding lightly, for example, over the fact that Dante puts Mohammed in Hell, among the disseminators of discord. But Shutt wins high marks from this listener for not using a detail like that as many of his fellow academics wouldas a brickbat to cudgel Dante, his poem, the Middle Ages, Catholicism and the entire enterprise of Western Civilization. As in his lectures on Medieval Literature, Shutt strives to understand and explain the work hes dealing with on its own terms. He understands that the Middle Ages arent inferior because they failed to grasp the truths we take for granted now. And at times he even goes farther, suggesting (deftly) that perhaps wed be better off if we embraced a few of the truths our ancestors took for granted. While the Comedy, along with Thomas Aquinas Summa, is perhaps the greatest single written expression of Catholicism this side of Scripture, Shutt takes pains to point out that that, Catholic or not, Christian or not, even religious or not, the Divine Comedy has important things to say to you. True, his surprise that medieval confession manuals for priests contained some deep psychological insights was, for me, more than a little surprising (what does the good professor think confession is all about?) But far more often Shutt is dismantling popular misconceptions and making the case for Dante, his times and his poem. For instance, while acknowledging that the Inferno is the most famous of the three parts of the Comedy, Shutt points out that the other two thirds of the work deal with Purgatory and Paradisewith redemption, not damnationand that overall the poem is far more positive about the human situation than many of us suppose. And no wonder; Dante was writing in the immediate aftermath of the birth of Thomistic philosophy. Its the sort of insight at which Professor Shutt excels, at once illuminating the poem and its cultural context and uprooting any faulty assumptions you or I may have been harboring. Finally, there is Professor Shutts infectious enthusiasm. His palpable gladness at bringing out a truth or insight, his delight in the beauty of which language and thought are capable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-Love-Poems-Audiobook/B00BPD0GKA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This 120 page Dover Thrift Edition of Great Love Poems has all the major poets and their most popular poems included in this collection.

In conclusion, Even if you are not into romantic poetry (Personally, I like warrior poetry), you will experience the passion and longing of love reading this collection. For the price of this collection, you will be receiving an enormous value in poetry education. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Season of the Warrior: A Poetic Tribute to Warriors) Very romantic !!! Interface: Poetry and Selected Readings, Volume One, 2010 I really enjoyed reading this small but big poetry book. This book has given me some great ideas and have shown me different types of stanza poems. The subjects are ones that I would have never thought of myself and this is a good study guide for writers and poets, as well. The only complaint is that the paper quality is very poor and the front cover is somewhat boring to look at, but you cannot beat the price, either. But another good book to purchase at a reasonable price $30.00 is called "Interface." The ISBN is 978-1-58909-796-4. This book has 49 original poems, limited artwork, and some prose being published for the very first time.This book is available in full color and is in paperback. The paper quality is high opacity white which I have been told is the most expensive form of paperback printing done in the U.S. Love Poems free very nice free read too Nice Collection I ordered this (as a start to Christmas shopping) for my dad. I recieved it today, in excellent condition. I flipped through the book, it's rather short, but then again poems aren't very long to begin with (some exceptions, of course). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Voices-of-Poetry-Volume-2-Audiobook/B0036O3XP6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm in love with the cover art of this particular edition, it's so mesmerizing. This book is beautifully made, binding, cover, pages and all, it may be a little more pricey than other translations but I think it's worth it. Rimbaud isn't for everyone so I recommend reading some of his poems online before purchasing. A revelation The mark of an extraordinary writer to me has always had something to do with whether the writer's genre was enhanced by the writer. This is a tall order, I know, but the very best writers change the way that their genre is perceived. Rimbaud's prose poems challenged the traditonal style of the Romantics who wrote before him. He brought a sharp, new incandescence, a flaring literary reality, a breakthrough perception to poetry expressed by his point of view. His stirring soul is seared by his epiphanies expressed in simple, clean and gleaming imagery. At times, he reminded me of Blake and Yeats. But his poetry is so original and personal and inventive that the genre metamorphosed by his unique literary perspective. Rimbaud believed that the poet must deliberately become an antagonist and work to place one's sensibilities into constant upheaveal in order to write poetry that is truly revelatory. His life was lived to the hilt as he traveled worldwide with Paul Verlaine and traded adventure incessantly. His destitution, lust for life and piquant sensibilities abound in the light and shadow of his poetry. The genre is indebted to the invention, passion and beauty expressed by this tormented soul who simply couldn't get enough of life. Great! Its a good book, and if your a fan of Rimbaud's poetry you will enjoy this book. The way that New Directions displays Rimbaud's poetry is by displaying the original French poetry one side, and on the opposite side is the translated English of the poetry. Formidable!

Title: Everything You Need to Know About The Divine Comedy Subtitle: A Study Guide for Dante's Classic Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Mark Norman Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: "But already my desire and my will were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed, by the Love which moves the sun and the other stars." (Dante, The Divine Comedy) One of the surest signs of fame is to be known solely by one's first name, with the mention of just that first name making clear who is being spoken of. So it is with Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), known simply as Dante thanks to the success of The Divine Comedy, one of the seminal works in Western literature. With Divine Comedy, Dante is often considered the master of contemporary Italian, as well as a forerunner of the Renaissance, which began to flourish in Florence around the same time. The Divine Comedy tells of Dante's journey through Hell (the Inferno), Purgatory, and Paradise, guided by famous poets including Virgil. Dante's epic discusses religion, philosophy, and a wide range of subject matter throughout his travels. Dante took nearly 13 years to compose The Divine Comedy, all the while living in exile from his home city of Florence, and the work influenced just about every important writer any literary scholar can name, among them, Boccaccio (1313-75); Chaucer (circa 1344-1400); John Milton (1608-74); William Blake (1757-1827); Victor Hugo (1802-85); Joseph Conrad (Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski) (1857-1924); James Joyce (1882-1941); and Ezra Pound (1885-1972). One of the greatest poems in English, T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land", is in many ways derivative of Dante. Dante Alighieri, especially when one considers his time and environment, was bold and fearless, following the calling and mission of the artist in the purest sense. He not only took his contemporaries to task in an enormous fashion, he also embraced the timeless challenges that metaphysical questions present. Dante had the nerve to force his listener to question life's toughest mysteries, and offer at least one possible blueprint for redemption. His mind, his language and his contributions to art, culture and intellect remain unsurpassed. Everything You Need to Know About The Divine Comedy is a comprehensive guide that provides a synopsis, a description of the characters, and a summary and analysis of every chapter. You can use this as a guide while you listen, or as a way to brush up on everything you once knew and since forgot. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Thu, 12 Oct 2017 10:44:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-The-Divine-Comedy-Audiobook/B076BXFGMC thebookvoice.com 02:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Need to have original open to really understand Dante's verse. Could some of great illustraions too. Dante's world This is a good condensation of all three volumes. If there were anything missing, I would say that I wanted a bit more information on individuals to whom Dante refers, especially those whom he doesn't mention by name, and some of the historical context in which they appeared. Very helpful text This book made it easier to work through the Divine Comedy. Even working with a wonderful translation, it's difficult to get all of the references. This book makes it easy to visualize the rich imagery Dante provides in his master work. love the breakdown of this classic masterpiece This book does a great job of breaking down a complex subject. The Devine comedy of Dante is a multi-faceted work that can break towards the complicated. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anthologie-de-la-poesie-de-langue-francaise-Audiobook/B00TKUB7NK Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> Titre: Anthologie de la poésie de langue française Auteur: divers auteurs Narrateur: Yves Gasc, Catherine Ferran, Sylvia Bergé, Eric Ruf, Eric Génovèse, Denis Podalydès, Christian Gonon Format: Abridged Durée: 5 hrs and 40 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 11-22-04 Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés Evaluation: 4 sur 5 sur 2 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Résumé de l'éditeur: Textes du Moyen Age au début du XXème siècle (1265 - 1915) choisis par Alain Frémeaux.

Title: The Metaphysical Poets [Naxos Edition] Author: John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, Henry Vaughan, Edmund Waller, William Davenant Narrator: Nicholas Boulton, Jonathan Keeble, Laura Paton, Geoffrey Whitehead, Roy McMillan, Will Keen Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-07-12 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment that made much conventional poetry look merely decorative. This collection provides the perfect introduction to this diverse group of fascinating poets. Editorial Reviews: Never is a performer's skill (or lack of) more evident than when reciting poetry. He or she must bring proper pacing, nuance, and depth to a work or risk compromising the meaning in garbled delivery. In the Naxos Edition of The Metaphysical Poets, Nicholas Boulton, Jonathan Keeble, Laura Paton, Geoffrey Whitehead, Roy McMillan, and Will Keen all seem to grasp the intricate metaphors that serve as vehicles for this philosophical and spiritual material. The result is stirring and effective poetry.

Title: The Metaphysical Poets [Naxos Edition] Author: John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, Henry Vaughan, Edmund Waller, William Davenant Narrator: Nicholas Boulton, Jonathan Keeble, Laura Paton, Geoffrey Whitehead, Roy McMillan, Will Keen Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-07-12 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Thomas Carew, and Henry Vaughan: these were some of the 17th-century writers who devised a new form of poetry full of wit, intellect and grace, which we now call Metaphysical poetry. They wrote about their deepest religious feelings and their carnal pleasures in a way that was radically new and challenging to their readers. Their work was largely misunderstood or ignored for two centuries, until 20th-century critics rediscovered it, finding in it a deep originality and a willingness to experiment that made much conventional poetry look merely decorative. This collection provides the perfect introduction to this diverse group of fascinating poets. Editorial Reviews: Never is a performer's skill (or lack of) more evident than when reciting poetry. He or she must bring proper pacing, nuance, and depth to a work or risk compromising the meaning in garbled delivery. In the Naxos Edition of The Metaphysical Poets, Nicholas Boulton, Jonathan Keeble, Laura Paton, Geoffrey Whitehead, Roy McMillan, and Will Keen all seem to grasp the intricate metaphors that serve as vehicles for this philosophical and spiritual material. The result is stirring and effective poetry.

Members Reviews: *** Great Poetry Readings - Highly recommended *** Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, if you are interested in listening to well performed poetry and even if you don't usually listen to poetry, try it, you will find listening to them a joy. Who was your favorite character and why? My favourite poem was Andrew Marvell's To His Coy Mistress - perfect performance by Nicholas Boulton. In fact loved all of Nicholas Boulton's reading, his was the highlights of the book, though the others were also very good, with Jonathan Keeble a close second. What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? I found my enjoyment and understanding greatly increased by these great readings. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, it's only over an hour long so I did listen to it in one go - and have listened to it several times already Any additional comments? Worth a credit if you love poetry - in future I shall buy more poetry to listen to. With the right narration, such as this collection, poetry is a dream to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Tartuffe-Audiobook/B0787KP7BY Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> Titre: Tartuffe Auteur: Molière Narrateur: Henri Virlojeux, Sophie Desmarets, Yves Furet, Fernand Ledoux, Claude Nicot Format: Original Recording Durée: 12 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 12-13-17 Éditeur: Compagnie du Savoir Genres: Classics, Poetry Résumé de l'éditeur: Le Tartuffe ou l'Imposteur est une comédie de Molière en cinq actes et en vers créée le 5 février 1669 sur la scène du Théâtre du Palais-Royal.

Members Reviews: I enjoyed hearing some my favorite poems read! What did you love best about Best-Loved Poems? First of all that is so very short, less than an hour. I think they missed some of the poems from the book by the same name but I would have to pull my copy out and listen to it at the same time to be sure, and well I don't have the time to be that nit-picky. Anyway before I knew it, the audio was done. And I swear it missed a few poems, but got the best of the bunch collected here in this reading. I really enjoyed listening to the Charge of the Light Brigade and Tiger and a few others of my favorites. It was a little lite on woman poets but aren't all anthologies of poetry. Woman only write fluffy love stuff blah blah blah. The old boys club is hard to break into even today. Still it had some good pieces to listen to and it was short. (Way too short) What other book might you compare Best-Loved Poems to and why? 101 of the best Poems, The seashell anthology of Poems, The Giant Book of Poetry. The Immortal Poems. Just about any of the many $.99 cent to $1.99 dollar books of poetry books out there you can pick up for your kindle because the poets works are now public domain, and you just need someone to formulate the material into a book form for you and sell it for that low price. What about uncrediteds performance did you like? I enjoyed the many accents and different voices on this audio, you felt the difference from Robert Burns Scottish voice to Lord Tennyson's very common man's voice on the Charge of the light Brigade. You hear Christopher Marlowe from the late 1500's and more modern voices from the turn of the 1900's. And you felt the difference in there tones, rhythm of words and general patterns of speak. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? From the dawn of the written word, there have always been those who could weave magic into there words. Sit back and listen for a short time and hear the magic tapestries they have woven throughout the history. Any additional comments? It cost $2.95. True it's short but sometimes you only have time for short and fast; and it is fun and educational. And helps bring alive these genius beautiful words. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Great-Poets-Francesco-Petrarch-Audiobook/B004CZ19VI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Great Poets: Francesco Petrarch Author: Francesco Petrarch, Joseph Auslander (translator) Narrator: Anton Lesser Format: Highlights Length: 1 hr and 1 min Language: English Release date: 11-18-10 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: This 14th-century Italian poet was a model for many who followed him. His passionate sonnets to Laura became the epitome for love poetry. Over some 40 years he wrote 366 sonnets to Laura, whom he probably never even spoke to, and they remain immediate and affecting even now. Called "Rime Sparse (Scattered Rhymes)", they influenced Chaucer and many others. This is an unusual addition to The Great Poets, but part of the intention of the series is to cover the major stepping stones of world poetry. Translated by Joseph Auslander. Editorial Reviews: Narrator Anton Lesser's honeyed reading of Francesco Petrarch's sonnets is a truly enchanting performance that listeners will want to experience over and over again. For over 40 years, Petrarch wrote sonnets to Laura, to whom he may not have even said a word in his entire life. Lesser not only summons the passion, wild joy, and despair in the 14th-century poet's stanzas, he also defines the spaces between them with melancholy lulls and charged pauses. Listeners will feel the vitality of Petrarch's poetry even now, hundreds of years after their creation. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Francesco Petrarch) Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:09:10 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Great-Poets-Francesco-Petrarch-Audiobook/B004CZ19VI thebookvoice.com 01:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love: Divine and Human This is an excellent reading of some of this world's greatest love poems. Petrarch's sonnets are filled with expressions of his human love and the impact they had upon his personal spiritual journey. I suggest reading about his life, influences (Dante, et al), and later impact (Shakespeare, et al) on the development of Western literature and poetry, to supplement your understanding and appreciation of this marvelous production. The reader, Anton Lesser, gently, though thoroughly, conveys Petrarch's intentions, purpose, and soul. This is a work which demands attentive listening, but the rewards are immense and life enriching. I highly recommend this rendition. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Learn-German-with-Poetry-Goethes-Der-Erlkoenig-The-Elfking-Audiobook/B00UI84Y6U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/53/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Voici les extraits que vous pouvez écouter : ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Avis des membres: If you love theater you should read this play. It is in French. This is a beautiful copy of a great play. French and Greek lit--combined in passions of love and war This is a humorous and also serious ficticious story of the events surrounding the Trojan War. We get up-close and personal with the characters (Helen, Paris, Hector, Ulysses, Priam) and also other people that would have had influences, but are totally made-up ("le Geometre," "Demokos," "Iris," etc.). Though this book does not have a lot of war action, its fast-pace politics are entertaining enough. The passions these characters have are immeasurable. Don't read this book if you want to learn about Greek mythology or a factual re-enactment of Troy. Do read this book if you enjoy fiction/fantasy and want to brush up on your french ;). A Comedy of Foresight and Truth Giraudoux writes this play after World War I. He brings Greek mythology into the text and foresights World War II through his comparison of Troy loosing Helene and starting another war to Germany having everything taken away after WWI like the Rhinevalley and any hope of glory.
