Title: The Long Exile Author: Leo Tolstoy Narrator: Cathy Dobson Format: Unabridged Length: 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-14 Publisher: Red Door Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Leo Tolstoy is widely recognized as one of the world's greatest novelists and short story writers and a master of realistic fiction. He is equally known for his complex and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, developed following a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became known for his deep moral thinking and social reforms. In "The Long Exile", Tolstoy tells the story of a man who is imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, but who gradually becomes aware that the experience has been sent to bring him closer to God and prepare him for the next life. After 26 years in prison, a crisis occurs. A new convict arrives, who turns out to be the real perpetrator of the crime for which our prisoner was wrongly convicted. Moreover, our prisoner has an opportunity to have his nemesis punished. This moral dilemma is the axis on which the story turns. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Leo Tolstoy) Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:40:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Long-Exile-Audiobook/B00KWWNYB8 thebookvoice.com 00:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Must read for any tolstoy fans or anyone trying to get into Tolstoy. This was my first Tolstoy read and it was a page turner.

Members Reviews: Best "Karamazov" yet. Constantine Gregory decided to give a reading of the Constance Garnett translation of "The Brothers Karamazov". Constance Garnett is no longer considered the best translator of Dostoevsky. She goes to great length to "pretty up" the rather rough and bumpy language of the original. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonskys new translation of "The Brothers Karamazov" is now regarded by most critics to be definitive as it does not try to mask Dostoyevskys idiosyncratic prose. Gregory gives a rather calm and relaxed rendering of the work, which is nice in the long run. My dream "audio" Karamazov would be David Horovitch narrating the Pevear and Volokhonskys translation. However as it stands now, this version by Constantine Gregory is the best "Karamazov" available. A Spiritual and Philosophical Tour-de-Force At 39 years old, this is my first reading of "Brothers K". From the first chapter, this title was nearly impossible to put down. Upon completion, this book immediately rocketed to the top of my all-time favorite reads. Glorious! "How did one person write this book?" is the question I ask myself over and over. And to think that this title was only HALF of what Dostoyevsky really wanted to finish: just outrageous! The absence of this second volume due to his death is perhaps one of the greatest losses in the history of world literature. To consider the circumstances of the author's life (the death of his real-life epileptic son Allyosha, the murder of his real-life father, etc.) and how they intertwine with this title is near overwhelming. I can't even begin to offer a degree of plot summary that does this title justice. Perhaps the best advice to the new reader is to not worry over memorizing the convoluted Karamozov family tree (ex-wives, distant relatives, etc.). Stick to the father (Fydor), the three brothers (Mitya, Ivan and Allyosha), the four women (Katya, Grusha, Madame Hoklakov, Lise), the servant family (Grigory, Marfa and Smerdyakov) and the four monks (Zossima, Rakitin, Ferapont and Paissy). By the time other characters are introduced later in the book (the children, the captain's family, the courtroom, etc.), you'll be ready for them. This translation (Garnett) is indeed great for first-timers and Gregory's narration is knockout. Every minute of this title is meant to be savored--relax, be prepared for brilliance around every corner and enjoy what surely must be one of the best rational, spiritual and philosophical reads I'll ever experience in my life. "Hurrah for Karamozov"--then, now, and for generations to come! How can we judge what is in a person's heart? Any additional comments? I wonder what inspired Dostoyevsky to write this novel? During the trial it is mentioned that there was a woman in St. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Days-Read-Audiobook/B00D8K12MO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Stories not included, only discussed The analysis is certainly very interesting and good but the short stories themselves are not actually read during the lectures. To properly enjoy this you need to start a lecture until you hear what work they are discussing, then stop listening before they spoil the whole story. Then, go look up that work and read/listen to it before returning to the lecture. Very tedious. This would be a much better course if it were interleaved with readings of the actual stories. A great team of lecturers I've known for a while that Arnold Weinstein is fantastic lecturer. But I am glad to have been introduced to the other two professors through this team-taught course. I can't wait to look for other courses by Allen and Voth. Wonderful Introduction to Short Fiction Short fiction is not something I've ever given a lot of thought to. I read a good bit more of it last year than I have in a good long time, and have come to appreciate the short story and novella forms. It was with that in mind that I tackled A Day's Read, from The Great Courses, wanting to know more about both the forms and works that are good, even great representatives of them. In a series of 36 lectures, Professors Weinstein, Allen, and Voth explore 36+ works of literature which can all be read in the course of a day, some in only a few hours. It's a wide-ranging collection of stories that spans several centuries and a number of different countries. Well-known authors such as Kafka, Hemingway, Balzac, and Joyce are represented along with authors who are lesser known but no less deft in creating small gems. In the course of the 18+ hours, I compiled a huge list of things that I very much want to read, and authors I want to get to know, such as Borges, Calvino, Lagerkvist, Satrapi, Hersey... most of the authors represented here, in fact. The lecturers break the works down by theme, which is an excellent way of approaching such a broad selection, but in the end, it's the stories themselves, the allure of the whole, that tempts me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Cry-the-Beloved-Country-Audiobook/B0032REVFI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Beautifully wrought with high poetic compassion, Cry, the Beloved Country is more than just a story, it is a profound experience of the human spirit.

Members Reviews: A word painting: gripping, breathtaking & moving The more things change the more it stays the same. I live in Johannesburg, I am a minister of religion, I am an Afrikaner and a Policeman. This book deeply moved me. Something resonates with my soul as I see so much of this pre-Apartheid world still alive in the Johannesburg of today. I am astonished that the places (suburbs, townships, shacks, even the Midlands of Kwa-Zulu Natal) as painted by Alan Paton are so easily recognised. It felt as if I walked into the book a book that was banned by the then Apartheid government. The story is gripping and lavishly beautiful. Paton sketches the contrasts of South Africa and the opinions of the different racial groups towards living together so accurate that the book has the feel of a documentary on the one hand, but driven by a deeply moving story arranged into three acts which can be summarised like this, act 1: the prodigal son goes to the forbidden place and his father goes in search of him act 2: what if the son wants to return, but he cannot because he is corrupted? ; act 3: a loss of innocence or an opportunity to renew. I am stunned as how Paton draws you in, let you bleed emotionally with Mfundisi (Reverend) Stephen Khumalo and his opposite, James Jarvis. I am amazed how love and understanding is born out of hate. Yet, Paton doesnt give easy answers even political answers to a country deep in pain, but let you cry out with him, Nkosi Sikeleli Afrika! (God save Africa!). To say the least, this is heavy and like the chief of Ixopo I am not sure if we as South Africans have the answer yet. But miracles do happen in the same way that the darkest clouds bring the best rain. This book comes greatly recommended. Everybody should listen or read it at least once in their life. It is also deeply religious and speaks to the soul. It is indeed heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. The British actor, Michael York reads this story with so much pathos; it feels like an act of love. He grips you and doesnt let you go. I will therefore forgive him his terrible Zulu and Afrikaans pronunciations completely. If you dont care to let the tears roll and be gay at the beauty of new and true human relationships, this book is for you! South African Wonder This is a truly wonderful book, made better by the excellent reading voice. An intense and plausible story, where virtue is seen in both black and white, and the shortcomings of man are also seen in black and white. Despite being 50 years old the story is still highly relevant. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Leopard-Audiobook/B0036GRP26 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: "one of the great lonely books" A gem of a book that seems to effortlessly interweave the personal, the political, and the mythological. As if it weren't evocative enough already, factor in that di Lampedusa is the great-grandson of the eponymous real-life Leopard--the mind reels. I can't imagine a better narrator for this work than Horovitch--his voice reflects all the book's nuanced emotion, from humor to profound loss, and his pacing is equally sensitive. (BTW, the title for this review is a quote from E.M. Forster.) Sumptuously descriptive and beautifully crafted Aristocrat, landholder, family man, libertine, scientist, Don Fabrizio the Prince of Salina is all of these. The risorgimento, that united the Italian peninsula into a single nation, is ongoing. His favorite nephew marries the beautiful and wealthy daughter of a former peasant. He sees the end of the world where he and his ancestors once were the lords of their proviincial manor. The action in this novel in this novel is largely offstage; by the time the Garibaldini reached Sicily, the unification of Italy was a foregone conclusion. Insteady we see the day to day life of the the Prince and his family: his devout wife, his 3 daughters, his sons, and his lively dog, Bentico. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Third-Policeman-Audiobook/B002V1BJE2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Weird, satirical, and very funny, its popularity has suddenly increased with the mention of the novel in the TV series Lost. Editorial Reviews: Why we think it's Essential: Jim Norton turns this wild post-modern romp into an accessible absurdist story that sounds as though it has been narrated by a studio full of talent. This modern classic can often make little sense when read, but Norton never misses a beat. While the story ranges from life to afterlife and everywhere in between, Norton keeps us grounded, entertained, and totally engrossed. You might've missed it in lit class, but don't let it roll by now. Chris Doheny Critic Reviews: "His writing is invariably compared to those other Irish greats, Joyce and Beckett, but for me he is infinitely more accessible and much funnier." (Sue Arnold, The Guardian, UK) "If ever a book was brought to life by a reading, it is this presentation of O'Brien's posthumously published classic. Norton individually crafts voices and personalities for each character in such a way that a listener might imagine an entire cast of voice talent working overtime....[He] ties the ribbon on a perfect presentation of this absurd and chilling masterpiece."

While the story ranges from life to afterlife and everywhere in between, Norton keeps us grounded, entertained, and totally engrossed. You might've missed it in lit class, but don't let it roll by now. Chris Doheny Critic Reviews: "His writing is invariably compared to those other Irish greats, Joyce and Beckett, but for me he is infinitely more accessible and much funnier." (Sue Arnold, The Guardian, UK) "If ever a book was brought to life by a reading, it is this presentation of O'Brien's posthumously published classic. Norton individually crafts voices and personalities for each character in such a way that a listener might imagine an entire cast of voice talent working overtime....[He] ties the ribbon on a perfect presentation of this absurd and chilling masterpiece."

Weird, satirical, and very funny, its popularity has suddenly increased with the mention of the novel in the TV series Lost.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Narrator extradinaire This is a very funny story but the narrator makes it great. It is surreal so one must suspend logic to enjoy it. The skill and talent of Jim Norton is unbelievable. I would like to know if he is Irish or not. He has the accent down pat. His ability to interpret the various characters, and there are many weird and wonderful, is fantastic. Hell is other people's bicycles. "Joe had been explaining things in the meantime. He said it was again the beginning of the unfinished, the re-discovery of the familiar, the re-experience of the already suffered, the fresh-forgetting of the unremembered. Hell goes round and round. In shape it is circular and by nature it is interminable, repetitive and very nearly unbearable." - O'Brien (omitted from the published novel) After finishing Flann O'Brien's dark masterpiece of absurdity, I wanted to jam a well-chewed copy of Joyce in one pocket, a copy of Sterne in the other, push a DFW in my back left pocket, put some dark strawberry jam in my back right pocket, turn left twice, exit into my tight little garage and immediately make sweet sweet love to the nearest bicycle available. No. Not yet. She's not ready, nor is my review. I'll pick up this peach tomorrow. So, it isn't tomorrow, but time and peaches are relative in purgatory. This is one of those books that is nearly impossible to review, but there is a space beyond impossible where letting go of this book exists. So, let's press forward shall we? The prose is amazing, funky; it floats and bursts from the page. Like Joyce and other Irish writers, O'Brien OWNs the English language (it is merely mortgaged to us mortals). Reading O'Brien is like watching one of those strange kids who can keep a soccer ball from ever hitting the ground. Gravity just doesn't matter. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anna-Karenina-Audiobook/B0041TMXHO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In contrast to another reviewer here, I found her variety of voices enthralling, and the heights of emotional intensity she reaches at times simply stunning. My only problem with this version is that sometimes the narration is very, very soft, and sometimes the dialogue is very, very loud. I don't know if this is a British thing; at least I've found it to a problem more often with British productions than American. This isn't Kate Lock's fault, and if you can find the right volume setting (or don't mind changing it occasionally as the need arises), this can be a deep and rewarding listen. amazing Any additional comments? Anna Karenina is just a masterpiece and there is no need for me to add more. But THIS NARRATOR. I wish she had recorded War and Peace, and all of Tolstoy, because she was 50% of this audiobook for me. True, sometimes she speaks too quietly and one misses a sentence or two, but her rendering of the *people* -- their personalities -- through their voices is superlative. Major props for Kitty. They are all fantastic, but Kitty's voice has a levity, a joyfulness, which is just a delight. So well done. Thank you. Unhappy families are unique Would you listen to Anna Karenina again? Why? .....and again, and again; if there is enough time in my life. Firstly, this is a remarkable story, written in great depth, with such understanding AND in the 19th century. Secondly, the issues within it are relevant to each of us, not all the issues to every one of us, but there will be something(s) that will speak to you if you are willing to listen. Thirdly, it is much, much bigger than its title suggests and encompasses many more people and relationships than Anna and Vronsky. What did you like best about this story? As was true when I listened to 'War and Peace', I liked the way in which Tolstoy combines philosophy with a good story. No - a great story. What does Kate Lock bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Kate Lock was magnificent - and that very pleasantly surprised me. She enacted every character with her voice, including the minor and insignificant ones. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? That would actually be impossible because of the length - 41+ hours. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Swanns-Way-Audiobook/B00449RZE2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Like that madeleine... I listen to a LOT of audiobooks -- daily. I often listen as I go about tasks -- gardening, driving, needlework, etc. This production of Swann's Way stopped me in my tracks. It is so rich, so engaging that it requires my full attention and engages my feelings and thoughts wholly. If you thought Proust perhaps less than accessible, dip in to this. Mr. Vance's narration will lead you to that place of memory, longing and insight that may have been Proust's best intention for his work. Savor it. Roll it around on the tongue of your mind. Enjoy. Not the newer, far better translation Because the Audible "release date" is 9-10, I thought this "new" recording must be the Lydia Davis translation. If you glance at the old Moncrief version (this recording, it turns out), youi can see why everyone has said for years, "you've got to read the French to get Proust." But the critics unanimously have praised the new translations for "In Search of Lost Time" series. And Davis' Swann's Way (from 2002!) has had hymns composed in praise. Yet here we have a "new" release in the old Victorian Moncrief mess that has put so many English readers to sleep. Though I paid for book in December, I didn't start listening until recently and feel deceived and ripped off by Audible's lack of description. Of course, shame on me for thinking recent should mean up to date. Proust at a gallop This is Proust at a gallop. Simon Vance has a pleasant voice and articulates beautifully, but reads far too fast. No time to relish the words or enjoy the thought; the narrative has already left me behind. Don't buy this version. It's exhausting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Madame-Bovary-Audiobook/B004281ULE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ironic, humorous, and restrained This is one of Kate Reading's better narrations, and the material could not be more compelling. Translated by Lydia Davis (master short story writer!), the book is both light and tragic, humorous and disturbing, emotional and cerebral. Flaubert is one of the few who can do that. The tragedy of Emma and the triumphs of Homais are delicately rendered in this smart translation. Reading reads with perfect inflections, making Emma sound airy and "arty," Charles slow and pitiful, Leon slippery, etc. No silly attempts at trying to sound male; just excellent infusions of the character's personality into his/her voice to make him/her sound believable. The speed is just right. I've heard other narrations by Kate Reading and some don't match up in quality or direction. The writing style seems so effortless and light that you almost think Flaubert knocked it out with the wave of a hand, but as you keep listening, you realize what a brilliantly composed, tightly plotted piece this is. Also superb is Davis's introduction in the print version. It's not in the audio version, but if you can get your hands on a print (or digi) copy, by all means, read! Prose exquisitely mines a range of emotions Some may not like the nature of the story (and/or its ending). This is no feel-good story, not a "David Copperfield" (which I love). Perhaps, by now, many people realize the basic substance of the story but do not expect its ending. Lydia Davis' prose is exquisite though there are times the audible version differs from the written book. The novel was ground-breaking in any number of ways, not the least of which is the well of human emotions that surge through one while reading it. The clunky translations of the past took away from the novel and the experience of all of the sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, pity and shame accentuated in this edition. The narrator does an excellent job both in portraying the pathos of Emma Bovary and in stoking the listener's contempt for her. Beautifully Narrated Classic Well, revisiting this novel was more enjoyable than I expected. I remembered it being very depressing and difficult to get through when I was a good deal younger and less tolerant. I am so glad that I was encouraged to get the audible. It really brought the characters alive for me and elicited greater understanding of Flaubert's masterpiece. Although Emma is a very frustrating character, I found her character to be extremely well crafted. Never dull, always held my attention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Peony-Audiobook/B004MTCJ7W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enjoyable Book What did you love best about Peony? I really enoyed this book. The srory line was good, with interesting characters. I first thought the book was just a romantic tale between the upper and poorer classes of Imperial China, but it was more complex that that. I hadn't realised that there had been such a strong Jewish comunity in China at that time, so it was historically very interesting too. What did you like best about this story? I enjoyed the way it was written, it seemed to flow well. The characters were all interesting and drew you in, What about Kirsten Potters performance did you like? I thought it was well narrated. Any additional comments? I would probably liten to this again sometime. A good read Any additional comments? Peony is the first book I have read by Pearl S. Buck and it will not be the last. I plan to now move to her most famous work The Good Earth. Peony tells the story of a Jewish family living in China around 1850 and weaves deftly personal and cultural conflicts with serviceable and comfortable prose. The plot has twists and resists a pat ending. The afterword provided the historical background and helpfully pointed out spots where Buck took literary license in the chronology of the Jewish diaspora into China. A Fascinating Chapter in Jewish - Chinese History This novel is perhaps not as strong as The Good Earth or Pavilion of Women but the story chronicles a fascinating chapter in both Jewish and Chinese history; the final years of a distinct Jewish presence in Kaifeng. A warning; some Jews may be offended by Buck's views on why Jews have been historically persecuted. The book includes a wonderfully informative epilogue by a scholar of Sino-Judaica which provides a historical context for the novel. It affirms the accuracy of much of what Buck writes and points out specific places where Buck has taken literary license. For Buck fans, like me, you will want to listen, and for those who want to learn more about the Jewish culture in China, you will also want to listen. For centuries, China was a safe haven for Jews who came to China via the silk road. In the years leading up to the Holocaust, Shanghai welcomed Jews when countries around the world denied them entry. Jews in China - unexpected and quite interesting I loved the book, "The Good Earth." It taught me a lot about China, its history and its people. When I saw this other book by Pearl S. Buck I thought I'd give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. The story was quite compelling and the performance was excellent. This is a story about a little Chinese girl sold to a Jewish family in 1850's China as a friend/servant of the family's young son. I didn't realize there were Jews in China until reading this story! The story incorporates the history of the Jews in China, as well as their current (1850's) life style. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/-The-Romance-of-the-Three-Kingdoms-Audiobook/B0764LXKMQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Can't get past the narrator I think I will like these stories when I can concentrate on them, and not on the narrator. I got to the point where I just could not listen to him any more and gave up. I have downloaded a different version with a variety of known and excellent narrators. I hope I have made a good choice. I want to understand this author, James Joyce, who many consider one of the greatest of all time. Great book, poor narration These stories are so well written, but I found the narration so monotonous it was distracting. I am redeeming another credit to find a narration that can do the stories justice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Complete-Stories-of-Anton-Chekhov-Vol-2-Audiobook/B006VY2ZKC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Complete Stories of Anton Chekhov, Vol. 2 Subtitle: 1886 Author: Anton Chekhov Narrator: Anthony Heald Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-11-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: A Russian author, playwright, and physician, Anton Chekhov is widely considered one of the best short-story writers of all time. Having influenced such writers as Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and James Joyce, Chekhovs stories are often noted for their stream-of-consciousness style and their vast number. Raymond Carver once said, It is not only the immense number of stories he wrote - for few, if any, writers have ever done more - it is the awesome frequency with which he produced masterpieces, stories that shrive us as well as delight and move us, that lay bare our emotions in ways only true art can accomplish. In The Complete Stories of Anton Chekhov, Volume 2: 1886, Blackstone has compiled fifty-five of Anton Chekhovs short stories: Art, A Blunder, Children, Misery, An Upheaval, An Actors End, The Requiem, Anyuta, Ivan Matveyitch, The Witch, A Story without an End, A Joke, Agafya, A Nightmare, Grisha, Love, Easter Eve, Ladies, Strong Impressions, A Gentleman Friend, A Happy Man, The Privy Councillor, A Day in the Country, At a Summer Villa, Panic Fears, The Chemists Wife, Not Wanted, The Chorus Girl, The Schoolmaster, A Troublesome Visitor, The Husband, A Misfortune, A Pink Stocking, Martyrs, The First-Class Passenger, Talent, The Dependents, The Jeune Premier, In the Dark, A Trivial Incident, A Tripping Tongue, A Trifle from Life, Difficult People, In the Court, A Peculiar Man, Mire, Dreams, Hush!, Excellent People, An Incident, The Orator, A Work of Art, Who Was to Blame?, Vanka, and On the Road. Anton Chekov (18601904) was the author of hundreds of short stories and several plays and is regarded by many as both the greatest Russian storyteller and the father of modern drama. Critic Reviews: Praise for Anton Chekhov: It is not only the immense number of stories he wroteit is the awesome frequency with which he produced masterpieces, stories that shrive us as well as delight and move us, that lay bare our emotions in ways only true art can accomplish.

(Raymond Carver) Members Reviews: Translators make a big difference What could Anton Chekhov have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Chekhov did great, it was the translator I don't like. Any additional comments? I wish I would have checked the listing on Amazon before purchasing because as I found out 1 minute in, its the Constance Garnet translation. Other translations are better, but publishers prefer Constance's because they are public domain, so they get it free, but still can charge us the same price. Excellent intro to Chekhov Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? very much so What did you like best about this story? These 50+ stories are medium length and always delight Which character as performed by Anthony Heald was your favorite? Impossible to say, but I loved Heald's ability to give the different characters individual personalities. this really brings the stories to life. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I had an extreme reaction to the idiotic review of "Bathsheba Everdene". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Le-citta-invisibili-Audiobook/B00TCKHGJW Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Le città invisibili Autore: Italo Calvino Narratore: Moro Silo Formato: Abridged Durata: 1 hr and 4 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 05-15-08 Editore: Il Narratore s.r.l.

Recensioni dei membri: Leggendo di queste incredibili citta' vi verra' voglia di disegnarne le illustrazioni Brevi racconti di citta' che sembrano calate in dimensioni spazio-temporali non lineari, tra una logica dell'assurdo che a lungo andare diventa "piacevolmente prevedibile" ed elementi reali che ci permettono di interpretarne il significato. Ogni citta' ha un nome di donna, ogni citta' e' un piccolo universo molto simile ai tanti universi e microcosmi che incontriamo nei posti in cui viviamo o abbiamo vissuto. Lettura piacevolissima. "Cities, like dreams, are built on desires and fears." An incredible dialogue between Marco Polo and Kubilai Khan, discussing entire civilizations by describing imaginary cities, their relation to the passing of time, their singularities... A poetic and dreamy tale, where every chapter ends in an incredible insight of wisdom. All the cities are amazing in some way Not a normal book; it is a series of vignettes about imaginary cities ,and conversations with the Emperor of China and Marco Polo. All the cities are amazing in some way.Read it, it will help your mind think in different ways. Calvino is an amazing author. Meraviglioso Un classico surrealista e più reale che mai A real classic masterpiece Calvino is one of the best writer of XX century. He would have deserved the Nobel .

Sometimes had to strain to hear, but that may be my ears. Deep Russian stories The 26 slaves, the drunkard story and the hermits were to me the best ones. Disappointing Narration Tolstoy's stories are great, but Dobson's voice is strangely grating. Mediocre at best, sad to say. horrible narrator. couldn't listen to it.... I couldn't listen to this. not sure if the narrator was trying to make a russian accent buy it was dreadful.

I read it in school, I lived it in my youth in my family's crumbling Italian estate. It is a book that expects a certain amount of knowledge from the reader and if 19th century Italian politics of the Risorgimento are unknown to you much of the plot will be baffling. The book also chronicles the passage of time,, change and decay, universal themes made melodramatic in 19th century Sicily. I love this book, de Lampedusa's only novel and thus a homage to his family and his Sicilian world, gorgeously evoked. "The Leopard" is a 20th C Book! Published first in 1957, the year of Giuseppe di Lampedusa's death! That was only six years before the acclaimed film by Luchino Visconti was released. But Il Gattopardo is ineluctably a 20th C novel masquerading as a 19th C Romance, in style as much as in setting. I insist on telling you this because, if you didn't read the preface or look at the back of the title page, you might well be dangerously startled when Lampedusa first breaks the frame and refers to events of his own lifetime. That doesn't happen until a third of the book is finished; until then there is no 'narrator' in sight. Thereafter, however, Lampedusa inserts his "I" at judicious intervals, calling the reader away from the Sicily of the 1860s with metaphors of modernity. Eventually he even mentions the atomic bomb. Possibly some readers will be annoyed by Lampedusa's occasional first-person anachronism, but I don't think they were an accident or an error of style. They're a significant clue as to the intention of the novel, which isn't simple nostalgia. Lampedusa doesn't whitewash his setting or his characters; Sicily in the 1860s was a land of grievous poverty and economic stagnation, a society still bogged in feudalism, and the aristocratic families that supply nearly all the characters in Il Gattopardo were decadent, besotted with themselves and their possessions, reactionary, indifferent to the misery of their society. Their highest aspiration was to hang on to their luxury and privilege as long as they could, at least their own lifetimes, and let the next generation fend for itself. Only the central figure, Prince Fabrizio Salina, gets much respect from his 'creator' Lampedusa. His flaws and follies are the same as any other of his class, but his vitality and his inward perceptions of his milieu exalt him above the stagnant morass of his insular society. It's not mere words, on Lampedusa's part, to depict the Prince's fascination with astronomy. Salina is, for this author who might be his great-grandson, as genuine a hero as historical reality allows. The plot of Il Gattopardo is rather loose. It's the era of the Risorgimento, the unification of Italy with Garibaldi as the charismatic revolutionary. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Brothers-Ashkenazi-Audiobook/B004709TRY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Brothers Ashkenazi Author: I. J. Singer Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-10 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 78 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: In the Polish city of Lodz, the Brothers Ashkenazi grew up very differently in talent and in temperament. Max, the firstborn, is fiercely intelligent and conniving, determined to succeed financially by any means necessary. Slower-witted Jacob is strong, handsome, and charming but without great purpose in life. While Max is driven by ambition and greed to be more successful than his brother, Jacob is drawn to easy living and decadence. As waves of industrialism and capitalism flood the city, the brothers and their families are torn apart by the clashing impulses of old piety and new skepticism, traditional ways and burgeoning appetites, and the hatred that grows between faiths, citizens, and classes. Despite all attempts to control their destinies, the brothers are caught up by forces of history, love, and fate, which shape and, ultimately, break them. First published in 1936, The Brothers Ashkenazi quickly became a best-seller as a sprawling family saga. Breaking away from the introspective shtetl tales of classic 19th-century writers, I. J. Singer brought to Yiddish literature the multilayered plots, large casts of characters, and narrative sweep of the traditional European novel. Walking alongside such masters as Zola, Flaubert, and Tolstoy, I. J. Singers pre-modernist social novel stands as a masterpiece of storytelling. Israel Joshua Singer (18931944)was born in Bilgoraj, Poland, the son of a rabbi. He contributed to Yiddish newspapers in Warsaw and Kiev, where his short story, Pearls, was published, which brought him immediate recognition. He came to the United States in 1934, and within two years The Brothers Ashkenazi was published, a work that was not only an instant success but was also destined to become a classic in its time. Critic Reviews: The book has the grand sweep of Tolstoywith pitch-perfect artistry and pace.

(Newsweek) Members Reviews: Historical fiction at its finest The story of three generations of the Ashkenazi family and set in 19th and 20th Eastern Europe, its themes are specific to that time and place, yet also universal. Illuminates the clash between traditional Judaism and the Jewish enlightenment, orthodoxy and progress, capitalism and workers rights, accepting the world as it is and risking your life to change it. Good narration, with the exception of mangling some of the Yiddish. Great Book! What a great book! Looking at reviews this book seems often to be pigeonholed as a book by a Jew and about Jews almost implying that it is for Jews. This is a great travesty. Thats like saying Crime and Punishment is by a Russian and for Russians, or Ulysses is by the Irish and for the Irish. This is a wonderful book about greed, oppression, and men pushed to the limits of life. Some parts are heavy and dark, some tender and loving, and often laced with bits of humor. I dont think anyone will truly like the Ashkenazis, but I for one respect them in the same way as the protagonist of other great works. It will forever be in my group of favorite books. One of My Best in Years What an excellent book. Well written. It reminds me of one of the classic Russian novels in scope and character development but with a Jewish focus. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mukhtarat-Men-Ketab-Al-Bukhala-Audiobook/B006ZO0QG8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For me, the choice of the parts of the book to be narrated is not so appropriate and the narration contained some words that I (an Egyptian!) didn't understand, but this was not the biggest problem. The real annoyance is the background music during the whole book! Why?! Good narration and content as an Arabic-learner Would you consider the audio edition of Mukhtarat Men Ketab Al Bukhala to be better than the print version? As a learner of the Arabic language, i found this audiobook a great way to expand my vocabulary and improve my listening ear in Arabic. I enjoyed hearing a story narrated at a conversational speed (far more natural than most listening exercises in Arabic textbooks). I hope more audiobooks will be published both in MSA and colloquial dialects so native and non-native speakers of Arabic can listen and benefit from them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Despair-Audiobook/B004SOK752 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Newsweek) Members Reviews: Russian emigre candy dandy murderers R my weakness While this isn't my favorite Nabokov novel and I have to leave room and stars for its better, it is stil bold and amazing. Nabokov is one of those writers I will never tire of. He is imaginative, funny, tight and always just a little naughty. Despair is a false double novel that at once mocks, parodies and honors Crime & Punishment. It was like Nabokov set out to write a fanciful doppelgänger novel of Crime and Punishment, but felt like he would prefer to dress Raskolnikov up a bit; bend the mirror and make him fancy, turn him into a Russian emigre candy dandy. Merely a Forefunner to Lolita Seriously, I didn't like this. Yeah, I like how Vladimir Nabokov writes but this book just doesn't have the sparkle, the humor or the polished writing of Lolita or Speak, Memory or other books by the author. It feels like a piece that still needs more work.or maybe you can work something to death. Look at the history of this book. Despair first came out in 1934 as a serial in the Russian literary journal Sovremennye. It was published as a book in 1936, translated by the author into English in 1937, but what exists today is the author's reworking of 1965. Clearly he did have time to rethink this. Why doesnt it work for me? Despair not only was a forerunner to Lolita, published in 1955, but it feels like that too. One can compare Hermann of this novel with Lolita's Humbert Humbert. Both are unreliable first-person narrators, but one is a shadow of the other. Not in who they are but in the strength of their characterizations. Lydia, Hermann's wife, doesn't come close to Lolita's Dolores. So what is the theme of this one? It is a murder story, but more! It is really about doubles, about identity and what connects one person to another. Hermann is delusional. Anything he says has to be questioned. Of course that is true too of Humbert Humbert, but there it is easier to just see the facts presented as his point of view. In Despair the story is so much more complicated; you are thrown between the writing of a story, how authors write stories and what actually happens, i.e. the events of the tale. Too complicated! Not properly thought through. Similar themes but quite simply not as good. There are also funnier and more noteworthy lines in Lolita. More to chuckle at. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Monkey-Audiobook/B015WVALV4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Chinese Classic, excellent narration What did you love best about Monkey? Journey to the West is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Journey to the West has strong roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, and the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas are still reflective of some Chinese religious attitudes today. Enduringly popular, the tale is at once a comic adventure story, a spring of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory in which the group of pilgrims journeys towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation. Who was your favorite character and why? Monkey. Sun Wukong. Which character as performed by Kenneth Williams was your favorite? Kenneth has a great narration here. Intrusive performance The reader "performs" the story, and it is one of the more intrusive performances I've heard. He seems to be worried about missing a plane because he tears through the material at a pace that is occasionally barely even intelligible. The place of occasional cockney accents in a Chinese novel/folktale utterly escapes me, and I disagree with another review who feels that the "echo", i.e. room resonance, "adds to the story", particularly in the loud, and to me over-dramatized, passages, which are all too frequent. My overall impression is of listening to the soundtrack of an animated cartoon. I've wanted to read this book for a long time, but at this point, I'm simply hoping that I can stick out this reading through to the end. Monkey is a Dear One, Indeed! This is a very long book, however it is divided into bite size chapters. Having said that, I must say that if you are like me, you will not stop until you have to! There is a bit of everything here: history of China; gentle teaching of moral and religious behavior; ADVENTURE; humor; drama; and a rip roaring good time! I defy you not to like Monkey and maybe even to love him as he grows from being a statue, to a king, and eventually becomes The Buddha Victorious in Strife. May the Buddha Bless you and smile upon you! Great story and well presented. I have always been interested in ancient mystery schools and ancient schools of wisdom. The book was very helpful to see all the different points of view on how to live ones life on how to make the world a better place. To watch the story of of the unfolding of human nature to becoming a compassionate being. If you enjoyed the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita you would enjoy this. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anne-of-Green-Gables-Audiobook/B0040I0LI4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great story, classic I have always loved What did you like best about Anne of Green Gables? What did you like least? I love the characters and the honesty of the story. It is as it was in the past when children were disposable but Anne brings love and light where ever she goes. Who was your favorite character and why? Matthew and Anne and their relantionship. What three words best describe Arika Escalonas performance? Not quiet right Do you think Anne of Green Gables needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? It has many sequels. Classic Anne Would you consider the audio edition of Anne of Green Gables to be better than the print version? As a grad student, I don't have much time to dedicate to pleasure reading. There's no better way to fall asleep than by listening to audio books of familiar stories! This rendition of Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful addition to my audio book collection. Very Enjoyable! I love the complete series of Anne books. The movies with Megan Follows were a delight. This narration is well done and very easy to listen to - especially as background audio for data entry work! The variation in the narrator's voice for different characters was entertaining yet realistic. It was easy to "envision" the events as I remember them in the movie series. I definitely would recommend this for anyone who loves the Anne of Green Gables series! Girlish wim at its best A book that should be read throughly by all girls aged 9-15. Her wild adventures would inspire any youth. Classic for a reason. Narration was fine, but... I have been in love with Anne since I first heard her story at age 10. The characters are so real, tangible, and lovable that it doesn't matter that the story has no real plot. It's just about being human at certain age, and it is beautiful. The only trouble is that Escalona has great reading voice, but clearly no chops as an actor. The dialog was read all wrong (generally with the same voice and inflection as the general narration) and it did a great disservice to what makes the book so good; the characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Don-Quijote-de-la-Mancha-Tomo-I-Don-Quixote-Part-I-Audiobook/B002V8LKCQ Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Título: Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo I [Don Quixote, Part I] Autor: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Narrador: Alejandro Magnone Formato: Unabridged Duración: 21 hrs and 28 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 07-24-07 Editor: Emmanuel Michan Calificaciones: 4 de 5 de 118 votos Categorías: Classics, World Literature Resumen del editor: Este gran libro fue publicado por primera vez hace más de 400 años, y Oyelo.com lo invita a disfrutar de la obra más grande de Miguel de Cervantes.

Opiniones de los miembros: Perfect Quijote This is a wonderful recording of Don Quijote. The reader has a beautiful voice that makes the narrative come alive. I can easily grasp what Cervantes intended in the way of comedy, satire, and pathos. I recommend this recording for Spanish speakers and for those whose grasp of Spanish is good enough to understand Cervantes' written word. In fact, this recording would work perfectly for those wishing to follow along with the text. I wish I had Audible in high school! I first read this book more than 20 years ago and unfortunately, I wasn't ready for it. I rarely read any fiction these days and found myself looking for some leisure reading for a change, and in my native language (also for a change). I decided to give the Quijote a try. Before I knew it, I found myself hooked to the story and, oh my, do I love this book! I enjoyed the narration, the story, the characters, everything. In between listening sessions, I was catching up on the historical Cervantes and the history of Spain in the 16th and 17th Centuries. This book is truly a must-read for all. There are minor errors that should have been corrected in editing but I am just nitpicking. I wish Audible brings in more Spanish classics. A classic book on any library - bookshelf If you could sum up Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo I [Don Quixote, Part I] in three words, what would they be? Essential, unmissable and comic What did you like best about this story? I love this book because, first of all, it's a classic. The book has comic moments and serious moments. Allows the reader to make an analysis on the boundaries between sanity and madness. What about Alejandro Magnones performance did you like? Everthing. I think he gave "life" to the story, and speak spanish very clear, what allows to me understand the most part of the story. If you could rename Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo I [Don Quixote, Part I], what would you call it? I don't know. Any additional comments? I thought this book should be in audible's essencial list. Excelente libro, pero muchos errores de lectura. Me hubiera gustado que los diez errores de lectura del tipo "repito" hubieran sido eliminados con un buen trabajo de edición; también escuché muchos errores de entonación durante la lectura. Buena obra La lectura y la interpretación en buena en general, aunque tienen varios errores que olvidaron editar.

There, eaten up by pride, lust, petty grudges, and paranoid fantasies, he does as little as he possibly can while plotting his eventual transfer to Buenos Aires, where everything about his hopeless existence will, he is confident, be miraculously transformed and made good. Don Diego's slow, nightmarish slide into the abyss is not just a tale of one man's perdition but an exploration of existential - and very American - loneliness. Zama, with its stark, dreamlike prose and spare imagery, is at once dense and unforeseen, terse and fateful, marked throughout by a haunting movement between sentences, paragraphs, and sections so that every word seems to emerge from an ocean of things left unsaid. The philosophical depths of this great book spring directly from its dazzling prose. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Antonio Di Benedetto) Tue, 10 Jan 2017 09:14:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Zama-Audiobook/B01N30J10S thebookvoice.com 07:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Così comincia il romanzo di Banana Yoshimoto, Kitchen.

"A Poor Gentleman" by George Gissing Members Reviews: Applause! I caught myself laughing crying and clapping my hands like a live performance. Beautifully narrated I will revisit this "Treasure" often. Very dissapointed with the narration:( If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? I don't know , I couldn't listen to five mins of it. Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobsons performances? never Any additional comments? I hadn't got round to listening to this till today, thought it would be a great addition to my collection, and now I expect it is too late to return it! The stories are good What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Cathy Dobson ruined these stories by reading them as if they were nursery rhymes. Who was your favorite character and why? N/A Short Stories How did the narrator detract from the book? It was very hard to follow the stories as the narrator had such a sing-song way of reading, the sense of the words was lost. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger and disappointment. Sad to have wasted my credit. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Cairo-automobile-club-Audiobook/B071FHH731 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Cairo automobile club Autore: Ala al-Aswani Narratore: Riccardo Mei Formato: Unabridged Durata: 19 hrs and 26 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 06-02-17 Editore: Audible Studios Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 1 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Alla fine degli anni quaranta, sotto le pale dei ventilatori del Cairo Automobile Club, l'Egitto dei pascià e dei monarchi amoreggia con aristocratici e diplomatici d'ogni sorta, basta che siano europei. Regolarmente Sua Maestà il re onora con la sua eminente presenza il tavolo del poker. Stravaganza, magnificenza e decadenza che non escono dalle porte dei saloni pavimentati a parquet. Negli spazi comuni, un esercito di servitori e impiegati venuti dall'Alto Egitto e dalla Nubia si affanna a soddisfare le esigenze dell'inflessibile Kao, camerlengo del re. Il servitore del monarca è anche il capo supremo dei dipendenti di tutti i palazzi reali, che spadroneggia nei minimi dettagli sulla loro misera esistenza e si diletta a professare l'arte della sottomissione. Tra i "sudditi" c'è Abdelaziz Hamam, erede di una ricca famiglia in rovina, arrivato al Cairo nella speranza di assicurare un'istruzione ai figli. Seguendo i cammini contrastanti che prendono i suoi ragazzi, scopriamo gli ultimi sussulti dell'Egitto pre-nasseriano: l'arroganza delle classi dominanti, la miseria dei reietti, il risveglio del sentimento nazionalistico. L'edificio si crepa ovunque, e nel microcosmo dell'Automobile Club, dove il volto nero come il carbone di un domestico aggiunge un tocco di eleganza all'ambiente, fremono i tempi e l'esplosione rivoluzionaria che infiammerà il paese.

Há um motivo para esse livro ainda ser popular. A forma que Machado de Assis escreve me lembra muito os filmes de Woody Allen, algo que foi difícil de afastar da mente enquanto escutava a esse livro. Recomendo fortemente, apesar das estranhas notas de violo que resolveram incluir nesse áudio do livro. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Selection-of-Fairy-Tales-from-Tales-of-Old-Japan-Audiobook/B00PL7UJBC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: mediocre What did you like best about Journey to the West? What did you like least? The story, the characters, the adventure. Everything about Journey to the West is amazing, unfortunately this version is extremely condensed to the point of distraction. Would you be willing to try another book from Wu Cheng'en and Christine Sun ? Why or why not? Unsure What three words best describe Michelle Tates performance? Stylized, childish (not in a mean way), quiet. Do you think Journey to the West needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No. Any additional comments? I wish the full book was available for audible. I own two different physical versions and they're amazing reads. Unfortunately, for me, this version was a bit too dumbed down. Genial cest une bonne histoire je la reco mande vrai ment beau coup merci beaucoup aurevoir Enjoyable Very short but it's the only one in English I could find. Still, it is a retelling of journey to the west so I got what I asked for. A brief, yet charming version of the classic I was not so impressed by the narrator Michelle Tate's impressions of characters (which all sound very alike) or the lack of authentic Chinese names. If this is suited for children then it could have used some simpler, more lively translations. However, this audiobook did foster my interest in this book, so I will be reading the entire unabridged version very soon. Not impressed This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This is a terrible rendition of a great story. The story telling leaves much to be desired and the narration is not good (grating voice). It might be ok for a small child. Would you be willing to try another book from Wu Cheng'en and Christine Sun ? Why or why not? Absolutely not. The narration and story telling are terrible. How could the performance have been better? A different story teller/narrator What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Annoyance and disappointment. Any additional comments? Not worth it at all. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Stephen-Fry-PresentsA-Selection-of-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B0036GPQ4A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Stephen Fry Presents...A Selection of Short Stories Author: Hector Hugh Munro Narrator: Stephen Fry Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-09 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Stephen writes "Saki remains, from a distance of a hundred years, just about the sharpest, cruellest, funniest and most elegant short story writer in our language. Hector Hugh Monro, to give him his real name, was an English writer and journalist whose life was cut short by the Great War. His stories often oppose nature and civilisation, with the more macabre elements of nature usually rising to victory. My favourite of his stories is Sredni Vashtar, as perfect a symbolic tale of the power of adolescence as is imaginable. The triumph of imagination, sexuality and life over the repressive forces of conventionality has never been more perfectly or shockingly expressed. The excellence of Tobermory, the talking cat, of The unrest Cure and the Open Window all reveal that unique blend of Wodehousian social comedy with wicked cruelty.

Interesting yet told from a perspective designed to poke at the mores of the time. The characters do the oddest things at times. Think Jeeves and Wooster but without the inherent niceness. Fry is the Perfect Reader for Saki There are five stories in this collection: the delightful and subtle Mrs. Packletide's Tiger; the very dark Sredni Vashtar -- be warned;The Peace of Mowsle Barton; the radical and in these days non-PC story The Unrest-Cure, which is, however, extremely funny once you stop gasping with shock; and Tobermory, a story of a cat that learns to talk, causing immediate consternation among the house-party of guests near whose bedroom windows he has been walking freely. Stephen Fry's reading is of course perfect: it was obvious on sight of the offering that he would be a wonderful Saki reader, as the wry, sophisticated, ironic tone is common to both Saki and Fry. I wish Stephen Fry would do more recordings of dedicated Saki collections. something to laugh about witty and funny stories in best traditions of early 20th century anglo-american literature conveyed accordingly by his greatness Fry Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Great delivery by Stephen - I wouldn't have enjoyed without it. Looking forward to hearing another series Eye Opener I bought this solely due to the fact Stephen Fry was reading it, and that I had bought the Anton Chekhov and Oscar Wilde books in the same series. Like the other two authors, I have never read anything by this author before and so did not know what to expect. The book is worth getting for the story about the Open Window. I found that a great read and found myself laughing in car. In the main the stories are witty at times, and like the other books in the series provide a good insight into the style and creativity of the author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Around-the-World-in-80-Tales-Audiobook/B00KDLVZ6E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I am surprised to find there is no table of contents or means of navigation. Surely this should easily be possible? Spectacular Series Love all these collections. Great performances, good selections of stories that aren't basic tenets of high school that will call up bad memories. Very diverse and entertaining. Been listening to them while hiking on low volume so the bears don't get me. They have greatly improved tedious long trails. Also great just sitting in an armchair. divertissant! excellente sélection d'histoires racontées avec talent. pour tous les goûts et toutes les occasions. superbe! so so Would you try another book from the authors and/or the narrators? No... sometimes I could barely even hear them. One of them talked so fast I couldn't understand him. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I never knew what the next story would be about. One seemed like an essay on being old and sour about love. I'm not sure it was even a story. The first story was the best one, then it was all down hill. What three words best describe the narratorss performance? not the best If this book were a movie would you go see it? sure but it's a lot easier to watch a movie than sit through a whole book. Any additional comments? This wasn't a good selection of stories or narrators in my opinion. Hard Listen This is a collection of stories that have no appeal to my tastes. I found them dull and uninteresting. I only made it through 2 1/2 stories before giving up. Wish I could return it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Good-Soldier-Svejk-Audiobook/B002V8KYO6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Too abridged Brilliant narration. Good book. Would like it better in unabridged version. If you need a good laugh What did you love best about The Good Soldier Svejk? Svejk is the embodiment of Czech passive resistance to foreign domination, in this case Austro-Hungarian, and later, Russian Bolsheviks. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether he's really a "patent idiot" as he proudly proclaims, or a conniving saboteur who can wreck the simplest orders with creative application of cheerful obedience coupled with elastic morality. But Svejk the idiot seems positively sensible when confronted with the Imperial war machine, which even without Svejk's help manages to sabotage its own greatness through equally imbecilic acts of obedience. If you're feeling a bit oppressed by some misbegotten authority or asinine bureacracy, this book is for you. The Czechs have mastered the art of patient suffering, so the book is surprisingly lighthearted given the weight of its content. You'll feel a lot better afterwards. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Good Soldier Svejk? Svejk helpfully offers to haul a load of books from brigade office and deliver them to the staff. When the train is called to leave midway through the task, Svejk commits a blunder so serious that even he is not authorized to know what he has done. Who was the most memorable character of The Good Soldier Svejk and why? Svejk of course is the centerpiece of the novel. Second after that is probably poor Lieutenant Luka, a career officer and lothario who fails on numerous occasions to rid himself of Svejk. Any additional comments? The audiobook is "abridged" from the original without serious loss. There is a certain amount of ribald activity and some really eloquent cursing (how many ways are there to call a soldier a "bastard"?), delivered in a British comedic style that would be at home in a Monty Python. Great WWI Farce; Great reading I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The reader is terrific! I will look for his other work. Jaroslav Hasek's comic masterpiece, despite (unwelcome) abridgment, and the fact that the original novel was unfinished, is still an absolute delight from the very first paragraph. Beg to report sir! Can't give story 5 stars because this is abridged which means you can't read along while listening because some parts are snipped. Otherwise this was great listenin. Svejk would be an awesome person to meet in real life. I actually laughed out loud at least once hearing about one of his mishaps. The performance is brilliant and the characters felt animated. This was recommended during a lecture in TGC: World War I: The Great War. excellent narratiion of a brilliant book, if you have a knack for satire, well this is one of the best pieces you will ever Come across. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Favorite-Stories-of-Christmas-Past-Audiobook/B002VAA9NA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Good stories but terrible narration Sadly, the actors in this recording were so awful that I returned the book before finishing it. Mr. Sklar read "The Night Before Christmas" without much apparent understanding of the language, and Ms. Raudman had such an over-the-top, treacly-sweet delivery that I started to feel queasy. Reading more simply would have allowed the power of the words to hold precedence, rather than distract the listener with her gooey style. Also, she repeatedly pronounced the word "Bethlehem" as "Bethle-ham", which became extremely annoying. Fun Old Fashioned Christmas Stories A Nice selection of Christmas stories some traditional most I have not hear before. Clean and some dated which makes them fun in and of themselves. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Eye-Audiobook/B004JOBB6U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(John Updike) Members Reviews: Ego vero, ergo sum a sinners torment in the afterworld consists precisely in that his tenacious mind cannot find peace until it manages to unravel the complex consequences of his reckless terrestrial actions. A short, tight little Nabokov novella about a Russian émigré's suicide. The protagonist/protagonist's ghost attempts, after a(n) (un)successful suicide to determine the characteristics of Smurov. The novella explores the concept of identity as being manufactured out of the many differing mirrors of how we are viewed by others. Our social construction or understanding|significance|meaning are not found in the Descartian "cogito ergo sum" but instead discovered by the "I am viewed|seen, therefore, many 'eyes' exist of me." Or said differently, "We are each known|viewed|understood by others. The real US is the sum and the momentum of these phantoms." How well do we really know ourselves? If I could 'comprehend' myself by seeing me as others see me, would that change the nature of who I am? I mean, as they REALLY see me. Does the knowledge of this observation change the nature of who I am? It is a total EGO exercise, but there have been many times when I REALLY wanted to know exactly how I was seen or perceived by others. Not how I thought they saw me, but an almost dislocated desire to see|experience myself through their 'eyes.' That is the essence of this novel. "Ego vero, ergo sum". I liked it, but just didn't LOVE it. It contains many of the germs|embryonic themes Nabokov would chase (and actually catch) in his later novels. Quit rating Nabokov on a Nabokov scale! Since the narrator was great, I see no reason why this tale should get any less than 5 stars in all departments. That is, if one is rating the novel on its own merit and/or against other works of fiction - NOT WRITTEN by Nabokov. IMO, Nabokov's most prolific audiobook reviewers appear to have some compulsive need to compare / pit all his works against each other & rate henceforth (rather than on individual merit). There's also a huge mix of the existential vs. the straightforward in his works. My advice -- assume they are all 4.2-5.0s & pick your Nabokov based on the item's SUMMARY (not 1 or 2 reviewers' descriptions or "analyses"). His novels, novellas & short stories vary wildly, but the 80% I've listened to so far were all excellent to glorious! Also, I'm NEUROTIC about narrators & have had no issues thus far (tho I'm currently reading Pale Fire old school...the clip scared me). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Tolstoy-Audiobook/B002V8LEYU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have always loved Ivan Ilyich, but Mr. Vance's narration actually moved me to tears. best Narration This narration was one of the best I have ever heard. I am going to now look up what other books he has narrated and get them because of Simon Vance. Really incredible job. Five starts for him. Four stars for the book because it was a little depressing. Wow! I guess it should come as no surprise that Tolstoy is awesome? Both these stories are amazing and moving and human and wow. First thing I've even read/listened of Tolstoy, I think I need to check out some more. Treat yourself to Tolstoy Both stories, but particularly The Death of Ivan Illyich, are amazingly fresh and relevant. Simon Vance brings the characters to life. A Must Read for Everyone Where does Tolstoy rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book has an important message. It is commonly read in high school, but I am happy that I waited until 52 years. I understand the meaning behind the book better than a teenager would because I have witnessed death, watched how others lived their lives, and thus, understand a bit more about the overall message. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anna-Karenina-Vol-6-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B00ZIW6R84 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Viva la Macchina che meccanizza la vita! (...) E' per forza il trionfo della stupidità, dopo tanto ingegno e tanto studio spesi per la creazione di questi mostri, che dovevano rimanere strumenti e sono divenuti invece, per forza, i nostri padroni." Pubblicato nel 1915 col titolo Si gira, riedito nel 1925 come Quaderni di Serafino Gubbio operatore, è un romanzo caratterizzato da una profonda introspezione psicologica dei personaggi, che offre all'autore anche l'occasione per misurarsi con un'epoca di straordinarie innovazioni tecnologiche.

Valutazioni: 4.5 su 5 su 8 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Cristo si è fermato a Eboli' è l'opera più celebre di Carlo Levi. Scritta tra il 1943 e il 1944, durante la sua militanza nel Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale, viene pubblicata nel 1945, a guerra ormai conclusa. Confinato nel 1935 dal regime fascista ad Aliano, uno sperduto paesino della Basilicata, lo scrittore e pittore scopre un mondo fino a quel momento sconosciuto. Un mondo escluso e dimenticato, 'quell'altro mondo, serrato nel dolore e negli usi, negato alla Storia e allo Stato, eternamente paziente'. Eboli è il paese dove la strada e la ferrovia si interrompono e cedono il passo alle terre aride e desolate della Lucania. Terre nelle quali la popolazione vive in condizioni di ingiustizia, miseria e arretratezza, e nelle quali lo Stato e le sue istituzioni non esistono. Una realtà che sembra precedente alla storia e alla civiltà, ma che si trova comunque a subirne la presenza: 'Noi non siamo cristiani, non siamo uomini dobbiamo invece subire il mondo dei cristiani, che sono di là dall'orizzonte, e sopportarne il peso e il confronto'. La partecipazione alla vita dei paesani, con i quali intesse rapporti di rispetto e amicizia, e la diretta esperienza della distanza dello Stato e dell'alterità di questo mondo conducono Levi a ritrarre l'aspra realtà dell'Italia meridionale attraverso la commistione di diversi generi letterari, ma soprattutto a scoprire il problema meridionale non solo come episodio di una condizione arcaica, intollerabile nella nostra società, ma anche come teatro di una straordinaria civiltà contadina. Secondo Italo Calvino 'la peculiarità di Carlo Levi sta in questo: che egli è il testimone della presenza di un altro tempo all'interno del nostro tempo, è l'ambasciatore d'un altro mondo all'interno del nostro mondo'. L'opera incontra subito un grande successo di pubblico e di critica, viene tradotta in numerosi paesi e adattata per il cinema in un omonimo film del 1979 diretto da Francesco Rosi e interpretato da Gian Maria Volontè.

It is a unique document of the poor south of Italy before WWII and of the use of internal exile by the Fascists as a means of punishing those who opposed them. It is set in 1935-36, so the Fascists had another 7 years to go before the armistice of 8th September 1943. Carlo Levi survived and lived to old age. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Short-Stories-of-Guy-de-Maupassant-Volume-1-Audiobook/B002V0M6YA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He had an astonishing capacity for creating believable characters, and he wasted little ink in putting his stories in motion. Maupassant was a master of "le mot juste", waiting until the perfect word came to him before setting his thoughts to paper. He was one of the first truly modern writers, and today his stories still resonate with enthusiasm and originality. © and (P)1999 Audio Connoisseur Critic Reviews: "The one long story and four short ones...perfectly illustrate Maupassant's lyrical yet somber view of life as a morality play in which virtue seldom triumphs.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: An Oscar for audio books! Hollywood would be well advised to create a new Oscar category: audio books. I might even begin to watch the Academy Awards show again if there were a chance to see Charlton Griffin hugging one of them golden statues. It might give the by now somewhat weary spectacle what it so badly needs - a touch of class. Anthony Pour Stupid! Music blaring along through the narration Who are the incontinent producers who can't resist spoiling an excellent narration with background music? This fine reading of The Stories of Guy de Maupssant was spoiled for me by the unnecessary, unsuitable and highly disttracting music grinding away. Why can't we have honest straight-forward narration by fine narrators without some egotistical "producer" sticking their incompetent fist in? With musical accompaniment The narrator often uses silly voices. There is musical accompaniment at many crucial points.

If so, why? Mergherita Buy reads beautifully, her Italian is so crisp and clear (she is an actress after all) her tone shows such an understanding of the significance of what she's reading. A real treat. What did you like best about this story? It's a great novel What does Margherita Buy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Members Reviews: the best yet This collection and the narrator were thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing entertainment. The best I have heard in a long time. OMG! The Narration! This is the worst narrated book I have ever listened to! I wish the lady would pick an accent and stick with it, and what is up with all the pauses! Is this a Pinter play!?

Gently lyrical, yet fierce with the stark intensity of passion, Kawabata's last novel tells the story of the lasting consequences of a brief love affair. Members Reviews: nostalgic literature from Japan After listening to several of Haruki Murakami's books on Audible (Kafka on the Shore; Dance Dance Dance; What I Write About When I Write about Running), I wanted to try some other Japanese authors. Kawabata is a more "traditional" 20th century Japanese writer, but I knew very little about his work before listening to this book. What a beautiful, well-crafted story! The main character, Oki, is a novelist in his 50s who, in the first chapters of the book, visits his former lover, Otoko, on a business trip to Kyoto. Oki memorialized their love affair in his book, A Girl of Sixteen, but Otoko is now 40 and is a successful painter. She lives with her protegee and lover, Keiko, a young, beguiling woman who manages to seduce both Otoko and his son in her quest to gain "revenge" for Oki's leaving Otoko 20 years previously. The tale, as anticipated, ends tragically, but from beginning to end the author writes marvelously about love, hate, desire, jealousy-- and Japan. It made me want to be in Kyoto, just to hear the descriptions of the temples and bells and sanctuaries of Kyoto. I could just imagine Otoko and Keiko tying their hand-painted kimonos with colorful "obi". I am glad that Audible added this author to its selection. I would have given this book 5 stars if it weren't for the sometimes clumsy characterizations of the reader. The female voices sounded falsetto and exaggerated, while Oki's son's voice was unnaturally deep. Dislikable narrator over an uneventful storyline. The narrator exacerbated everything I didn't like book, so if he doesn't bother you, it could completely change your opinion. Some of the 'hot and heavy' scenes were gross and weird simply because of how the guy said things like "nipple", seriously. At any rate, very little actually happens in the plot, and the setting, atmosphere, and characters are given more attention because of that. The problem with this is that the characters seemed like complete halfwits because apparently 'love makes people illogical' , but I just ended up irritated with almost everyone for some reason or another. The passion and intimacy I expected from a story about mistresses, spiritual revenge, among other heavy thematic elements, were almost entirely non-existant; most narrative benchmarks, were markedly flat and lacking excitement. I felt that the story slipped into monotony far too frequently. It took me multiple attempts to finish, which I suppose I'm glad I did because, at least now I know I didn't really miss much, despite the few insights I had while going through. Overall, it was just wrong for me. A Marvelous Example... of the best of Japanese literature. Quiet, lyrical, poetic, the story of a long ago love affair blooms before the reader in vivid shape and color like a delicate flower. Listen leisurely and enjoy this great classic. Beautifully written, but lacks perspective Would you try another book from Yasunari Kawabata and/or Brian Nishii? I'll get to Nishii later. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Water-Margin-Audiobook/B00S8QOSD8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book for kids & adults alike ! Anyone who is familiar with the real literature work, knows it is voluminous .. These "Real-Reads" little books seem to be the perfect way to install interest and curiosity among the younger generation, with a good balance of some illustrations between the text. For parents/adults it gives a great synopsis of an extensive book, so that they at least have some basic knowledge about the story line when mentioned in a conversation. I applaud the effort of these books, which also end with "Food for thought/homework" assignments, making it ideal for a school project/educational setting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Ilias-Audiobook/B00TWVLOB2 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titel: Ilias Autor:: Homer Erzähler: Rolf Boysen Format: Abridged Spieldauer: 7 hrs and 41 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-28-07 Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag Kategorien: Classics, World Literature Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Das älteste Werk der abendländischen Literatur, das die Endphase des zehnjährigen Kampfes um Troja schildert - neu zu entdecken in dieser Lesung von Rolf Boysen aus dem Residenztheater in München.

Leavis) Members Reviews: Enjoyable Stories, Very Well Done Sir I enjoyed these stories although I don't remember them very well and it wasn't too long ago that I listened to them so they must not have had that much of an impression on me. Really have enjoyed the books of Conrad that I have listened to so was searching for more of that, perhaps me thinks this book did not fulfill that desire. Good narration I would say. I by three stars I am being a very harsh judge, I'm not sure why, Conrad is quite good. The Littoral Zone of the Human Pyche "One may meditate on life endlessly, one may even have a poor opinion of it--but the fact remains that we have only one life to live. And it is short." -- Joseph Conrad, Within the Tides, "The Planter of Malata" Joseph Conrad likes to test men. He likes to place them in circumstances that bend, break, or change men. These four short stories collected together are all typical Conrad. The language is beautiful and clean. There is an abundance of psychology and perhaps even a bit of madness. The Four Stories are: 1. The Planter of Malata - 5 stars 2. The Partner - 4 stars 3. The Inn of the Two Witches - 3 stars 4. Because of the Dollars - 4 stars I used to tell my wife the reason I pushed and teased people was I wanted them a bit off balanced. Like those punching bags with sand in the bottom, people can lean and pretend. They show me their mask, but not their "real" side. They can easily provide to stranger or friend an act or a cover for who they really are. Often, however, when you shake them, surprise them, "punch them" intellectually a bit it throws this mask off. When they "recover" their balance they (even just momentarily) often lose their artifice and pretense. I think Conrad is a bit like that. I think in his search for truths about people, he wants to examine the edges, the stresses, the places where people collapse or change. In that zone. In that littoral zone of the human psyche, truth resides. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Ivanhoe-Italian-Edition-Audiobook/B016C8KO3Q Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Ivanhoe [Italian Edition] Autore: Walter Scott Narratore: Silvia Cecchini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 13 hrs and 4 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 10-09-15 Editore: Collina d'oro Valutazioni: 3.5 su 5 su 3 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Ivanhoe è considerato come il primo vero esempio di genere storico, e in esso, oltre alla figura di Ivanhoe, vengono presentate figure leggendarie come Robin Hood, frate Tuck, e Riccardo Cuor di Leone.

A tale of desire, regret, and sensual nostalgia, every gesture has a meaning, and even the most fleeting touch or casual utterance has the power to illuminate entire lives - sometimes in the same moment that it destroys them. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Brian Nishii uses calm, understated tones to fully illuminate Kikujis emotional state as he tries to make sense of his unruly desires, his feelings of loss, and his deep loneliness. Nishii adds depth to Kawabatas spare, disciplined language, never resorting to theatricality yet providing significant moments of reflection and contemplation as Kikuji works to achieve awareness. In both substance and delivery, Thousand Cranes is as subtle and minimal as a Japanese painting." (AudioFile) "A novel of exquisite artistry...rich suggestibility...and a story that is human, vivid and moving." (New York Herald Tribune) Kawabata is a poet of the gentlest shades, of the evanescent, the imperceptible. This is a tragedy in soft focus, but its passions are fierce."

(CommonWealth) Members Reviews: Painfully beautiful It's hard to review this book without resorting to the sort of cliche you'd expect in a review of a Japanese novel, i.e., that it's a delicate haiku, a subtle watercolor painting, a poetically melancholy glimpse of life. The thing is, Thousand Cranes really is all of these. Kawabata's writing is almost unbearably delicate; all of the emotions and crises are merely hinted at, as subtly as possibly, and so made perhaps more deeply moving. The story itself also has a painful and elusive quality: it is the story of a young man struggling to find a life and a love distinct from those of his late father's. Every word in the book is highly symbolic and yet undeniably human. In short, I was really impressed with the writing and will definitely look for more by the same author. As for the reader: Brian Nishii certainly knows how to pronounce the Japanese names correctly, which is very important -- very often, audiobook narrators will mispronounce foreign words, which can be quite jarring if you happen to know what the language is supposed to sound like. Other than that, Nishii does an OK job. Some of his characterizations sounded a little off to me, and his pauses were a little too short on occasion, but the overall result is perfectly acceptable. Compelling Story... of "the sins of the fathers being visited on the sons." Love, lust, suicide. Everything you want in a Japanese classic. Generally fantastic The story itself is beautiful. It is engaging, and requires a certain amount of participation on the reader's part to follow what's in between the lines. I still need to process and ruminate. The performance was fine, but not spectacular. Japanese names seemed (to my uneducated ear) correctly/authentically pronounced. However, not much distinction was made between the voices of the female characters, and Brian Nishii's representation of the female voice feels forced. There may be a case to be made for reducing the emotion/expression in the character's voices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Il-dottor-Zivago-Audiobook/B01EV3186G Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Il dottor Zivago Autore: Boris Pasternak Narratore: Riccardo Mei Formato: Unabridged Durata: 20 hrs and 17 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 05-04-16 Editore: Audible Studios Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 1 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Vincitore del Nobel per la letteratura del 1958.

Opiniones de los miembros: get the spelling right I don't believe audible lists this masterpiece under the name pf Miguel de Servantes Saavedra! Please! Cervantes Obra maestra Divino -- tanto la historia como la narracion. Es buena idea leer Don Quixote varias veces en la vida -- de estudiante y de viejo. Don Quijote de La Mancha is eternal... Where does Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo II [Don Quixote, Part II] rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? When I read Don Quijote de La Mancha for the first time, I was too young, now I could see how and why this book is a classic. Know the original version of the story, gave me another idea about what Miguel de Servantes wanted. The adaptation of the story is poor compared with the original story. I loved the experience of heard Don Quijote de la Mancha in spanish. What was one of the most memorable moments of Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo II [Don Quixote, Part II]? I loved everthing single moment. Would be unfair choose only one, so I prefer choose all the book. If you could take any character from Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo II [Don Quixote, Part II] out to dinner, who would it be and why? Nobody. And I have no options, and have to to invited someone, like Don Quixote, he could hallucinate during the dinner, and try fight fight the doorway of the restaurant. Lit AF Totally lit literature straight from our favorite author. Enjoy the OG'est Spanish story as intended. All the stars Excellent performance. Don Quijote is a classic and does not need my recommendation since history and generations of readers testify to its wonderful story excellently written. The performance of the reader is excellent, with wonderful articulation a of each character with different and well acted voices. Though not in Spaniard dialect, the reader's performance has been superpower. Thank you. Louis E.

Little Herr Friedeman is absolutely excellent, with a simplicity and precision of language that I've not seen before. The Enchanted Cabinet seems to be from the late 19th century and compares well with a Sherlock Holmes tale, although with more warmth and humour. The reader is top-notch, with an ability to switch voices, even female voices, that is uncanny. Nine little jewels In this colletion which spans several centuries, each story brings back something of a world forever lost to us. But perhaps we can find "einen Duft als wie aus alten Zeiten," in the words of an old song. Here we have the morality tales of Goethe and Schiller, the drama of Schnitzler, the psychological realism of Mann, a haunting tale for a winter evening from von Hofmannsthal, and comic turns from Hebel and Lampe. Griffin's glorious narration with music and sound effects make the stories just that much better than they appear on the page. What a wonderful way to spend a quiet afternoon! I was happily surprised to hear a selection from Friedo Lampe (1899-1945), whose work never did very well during his lifetime. He annoyed the Nazi regime, which didn't help matters, only to die when he was shot by the Russians during the invasion. His comic caper "The Enchanted Cabinet" evokes the seaside atmosphere of five o'clock tea dances and amusements of German vacations in the pre-war period. (Lampe was quite gifted with capturing regional dialects, which isn't something that can be translated into English). May more readers make his acquaintance through this tale. I'd love to hear Griffin read a collection of Zweig or Schnitzler. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Rapporto-allAccademia-delle-Scienze-A-Report-to-an-Academy-Audiobook/B005VDZF6A Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Rapporto all'Accademia delle Scienze [A Report to an Academy] Autore: Franz Kafka Narratore: Dario Penne Formato: Unabridged Durata: 36 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 10-13-11 Editore: Librivivi Media s.r.l.

Title: Look at the Harlequins! Author: Vladimir Nabokov Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: As intricate as a house of mirrors, Nabokovs last novel is an ironic play on the Janus-like relationship between fiction and reality. It is the autobiography of the eminent Russian-American author Vadim Vadimovich N. (b. 1899), whose life bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov, though the two are not to be confused (?). Focusing on the central figures of his life - his four wives, his books, and his muse, Dementia - the book leads us to suspect that the fictions Vadim has created as an author have crossed the line between his lifes work and his life itself, as the worlds of reality and literary invention grow increasingly indistinguishable. One of the 20th centurys master prose stylists, Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg in 1899. He studied French and Russian literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, then lived in Berlin and Paris, where he launched a brilliant literary career. In 1940 he moved to the United States and achieved renown as a novelist, poet, critic, and translator. He taught literature at Wellesley, Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard. In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977. Critic Reviews: One of the greatest masters of prose since Conrad.

How ironic, that I write a five paragraph review of 'Look at the Harlequins!' and with a careless sideways swipe of my too smooth mouse lose it all. Now I have to climb out of a self-made despair and mentally turn around and try and recreate the review I JUST wrote. So a warning, this review might contain a few similarities to my real/original review, but any thing I say, any words I now write will just be shadows and mouches volantes of my first try. Nabokov's false memoir is loose, brazen and genius all at the same time. It is a false 'Speak, Memory', a greedy parody and doppelgängers of his own past. Vladimir, through Vadim, shows us how impossible it is to stop, turn around and recreate, or recapture the past. Even setting the past down on paper is no good. It is all fleeting whispers and harlequins. Reading this novel, I was taken suddenly with the thought (almost certainly not original) that Nabokov's obsession with doubles, refractions, twins and doppelgängers comes from the split with him. There exists with Nabokov the Russian (Despair, the Gift, King, Queen, Knave) and the English genius (Lolita, Pale Fire, Ada). That ability to exist at such a high level in two different literary worlds is beyond simply amazing. Nabokov wasn't just dancing on a spinning chessboard. He was all the chessmen on both the black and the white side of the board. it's Nabokov, tricky but masterful what can i say? I love Nabokov. he is the most intelligent writer and always experimenting with style and form. this one may be a little more for his devotees with references to his other works abounding. not a huge fan of Rudnicki, though he does the Russian words and other foreign words/phrases well, his voice gets a bit ponderous. Brilliant command of language My selection was based as much on curiosity (as well as the excellent reviews) I was interested in Nabokov's writing style given that Russian was his native language. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Scottish-Fairy-Book-Volume-One-Audiobook/B00JMMYDEQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Scottish Fairy Book, Volume One Author: Elizabeth W Grierson Narrator: Steven Cree Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 04-14-14 Publisher: Spokenworld Audio/Ladbroke Audio Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: There are, roughly speaking, two distinct types of Scottish Fairy Tales. There are what may be called "Celtic Stories," which were handed down for centuries by word of mouth by professional story-tellers, who went about from clachan to clachan in the "Highlands and Islands," earning a night's shelter by giving a night's entertainment, and which have now been collected and classified for us by Campbell of Isla and others. These stories, which are also common to the North of Ireland, are wild and fantastic, and very often somewhat monotonous, and their themes are strangely alike. They almost always tell of some hero or heroine who sets out on some dangerous quest, and who is met by giants, generally three in number, who appear one after the other; with whom they hold quaint dialogues, and whom eventually they slay. Most of them are fairly long, and although they have a peculiar fascination of their own, they are quite distinct from the ordinary Fairy Tale. These latter, in Scotland, have also a character of their own, for there is no country where the existence of Spirits and Goblins has been so implicitly believed in up to a comparatively recent date.

(Audiolibros - Audio Libros) Calificaciones: 4 de 5 de 8 votos Categorías: Classics, World Literature Resumen del editor: FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar la obra cumbre de la literatura Cubana, "Cecilia Valdés," del escritor Cirilo Villaverde, la cual es considerada la novela cubana más importante del siglo XIX y fue llevada al teatro con mucho éxito en una bellísima zarzuela. La novela tiene lugar en la Cuba colonial de 1830. Cecilia Valdés es una joven y hermosa mulata, quien se enamora de un joven de sociedad, Leonardo de Gamboa, hijo de un rico magnate y traficante de esclavos, Cándido de Gamboa. Es la historia de un maravilloso amor que cae en tragedia por las diferencias raciales y sociales y por un pasado oculto que ambos jóvenes ignoran. Cecilia Valdés relata la composición social, problemas raciales y mestizajes de la Cuba de la época, los círculos de la élite de los blancos nacidos en España y los blancos criollos; el número creciente de mulatos, a los que pertenecía Cecilia, y los negros, algunos esclavos y otros libres. La novela también relata cómo era practicada la seducción y relaciones entre las razas en la época colonial. Viva en este maravilloso audiolibro esta historia de amor, tragedia y venganza, la cual levanta controversias y conflictos en la sociedad, familia y amigos, y que termina en un inesperado final.© y (P) 2011 FonoLibro Inc.Todos los derechos reservados.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Reseñas Editoriales: FonoLibro's Spanish-language production of Cirilio Villaverde's novel creates tremendous atmosphere with vivid performances by the actors as well as a musical score that reflects this 19th-century tale of the titular character, the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy landowner and his slave.

Opiniones de los miembros: Not based on the actual book Its a short version of the original book but not the full text. Es una versión corta del texto original pero no es el texto completo. Thomas Hardy This reminded me of Thomas Hardy but with the sense of inevitable damage mitigated by the much less disastrous final outcome. The abridged version seems to make some abrupt shifts, and may leave out interesting pictures of Havana life in the 19th century, which would considerably deepen the novel. (I do not know the full length version). Its classic status still shines through, and the reading is excellent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Belfagor-Audiobook/B004USQ5L6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was considered one of the finest of the period. Machiavelli was considered a skilled storyteller by all who knew him for, after all, stories form the basis of his most famous work, The Prince, and others: The Art of War and Discourses. His comic play The Mandrake Root was a spectacular success. Listen to and read all of these works to understand Machiavelli best. "Belfagor" is a compact version of lessons from The Prince. In it, Pluto wants to figure out if sinners coming to him are correct in saying it was all their wives' fault. Belfagor is selected to go into the world and find out. Belfagor marries a beautiful woman who bankrupts him through extravagance and demands to fund her family. Belfagor must escape his creditors. A peasant with great cunning saves him and himself, and they avoid prison and hanging. Professor Donald Fleming, a noted Harvard cultural historian said, "I encourage my students to read and write about five works of an author. It rounds out their thinking and avoids pigeonholing them. Once they have read Mark Twain's "Puddenhead Wilson" or Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night or Willa Cather's Alexander's Bridge, they know far more about the author. But after the third, fourth, and fifth books, they really know."

Worth listening to and now I want to read more from this author. This is not Belfagor, just a summary. Yuk! This is just a summary of the text, and is not an unabridged version as described.

Members Reviews: An Exotic Melodrama Where does Salambo rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Around the mid-point, perhaps a smidge under. I didn't find it to be deep, but it was fun. The book is a bit heavy on description for my taste, but I don't think it's much worse than the other 19th Century books I've read. What did you like best about this story? How very epic everything was. This is a place where cruel merchants drink from their jeweled cups, where beautiful priestesses yearn for knowledge forbidden them, and where the slaves are treated badly by everyone. Which scene was your favorite? Any scene that drives home how utterly different this world is from ours, such as the child sacrifice. Also, I liked any dialogue spoken in the LANGUAGE OF EPIC. Here is Matho, believing himself free of Salambo: "I fear her beauty no longer! What could she do to me? I am now more than a man. I could pass through flames or walk upon the sea! I am transported! Salambo! Salambo! I am your master!" Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I did feel bad for how some of the characters ended up, and by some I mean most. Any additional comments? I've yet to read Madame Bovary, but every single thing I've heard about it makes it sound like the complete anti-Salambo. Half of me wants to make that my next purchase just to experience the 180. Just amazing I'm a history buff and feel cheated that I didn't know of this novel until my 30s. This was a remarkable read or "listen." Flaubert's descriptions are amazingly pictorial. While listening, you can hear, smell, and taste exactly what is happening. Splendid epic! Huge canvas, roaring action, painterly detail of a world revolving on an axis of lust and hate. Exhilarating. Cinematic. Operatic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mukhtarat-Men-Akhbar-Alhamqa-Audiobook/B007VQX0R6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Wish it had the same narrator throughout for a more consistent listen. loved how they were read but... I enjoyed the voices of the readers but besides for maybe 2 or 3 of the stories, I could literally guess the ending after a few minutes. Wonderfully read, wonderfully chosen Eveery one of these tales is a masterpiece. And they are all extremely well produced, with a strong voice cast. I particularly looked forward to tales read by John Waite, and Sarah Douglas. Though everyone was great. I whole heartedly recommend this. Old favourites and a few new classics I hadn't heard Most of the performances in this collection of horror short stories were very good. a little overdone sometimes though. The naration did bring the full horror to life. The worst story in the collection was by Daniel defoe. Beyond that there are some old favourites and some less well known especially to those not entirely familiar with the ghost genre. Iverall, a well put together collection in my opinion. good narrators but intrusive announcer classic stories combined with quality readers what's not to like? answer an annoying announcer between the stories, whiny voice repetitive message and load music which ruins this as stories to fall asleep to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Best-French-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B00LPMGFPG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Dubliners Author: James Joyce Narrator: Connor Sheridan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: These vivid, tightly focused observations about the life of Dublin's poorer classes originally made publishers uneasy: the stories contain unconventional themes and coarse language, and they mention actual people and places. Today, however, the stories are admired.

Members Reviews: Truly well written. I could never get very far ... Truly well written. I could never get very far in Ulysses, but Dubliners showcases Joyce's incredible literary talents in a more conventional form. Richard W. Wise, author: https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Gem-Trade-Connoisseurs-Gemstones/dp/0972822321/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1478199815&sr=1-1&keywords=secrets+of+the+gem+trade+wise things you should know who would know better than james joyce? i ask for it and he gave it to me "good, bad and ugly" My copy was in very good condition for a used book My copy was in very good condition for a used book. The book itself is great quality- Norton Critical Editions provide excellent footnotes that are especially helpful for interpreting local Dublin slang. Note: The sexual content mentioned mostly is, like so much of the conflict in the Dubliners, implied. However, it would be false to suggest there is no sexual content. Defective printed publication Book had blank pages. For example pages blank included n the count so incomplete, probably one of the finest in the English Language Classic stories. If you don't usually read short stories buy this book anyway and read the last story, The Dead, probably one of the finest in the English Language. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/La-tribu-Audiobook/B00TN4XUK6 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: La tribù Sottotitolo: Novelle scelte Autore: Italo Svevo Narratore: Marcello Pozza Formato: Unabridged Durata: 21 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 06-16-10 Editore: GoodMood Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Apologo politico di Svevo che testimonia i suoi sporadici legami con il socialismo e le idee marxiste.

This works best if it is a book that I have already listened to/read in English, as then the material is more familiar. For new languages, I will often try to listen to a book in parallel: say, 15 minutes of English, then 15 minutes of the other languages, etc. As of yet, there is a fairly limited selection of foreign language audiobooks available in the U.S. store, and an even smaller selection that are available in both English and a variety of other languages. (And, for some reason, the Spanish ones seem often to be abridged, which makes them much less useful for this type of "rosetta stone" parallel listening practice.) But it is slowly getting better. Congratulations to Audible for slowly increasing its foreign language material, and here is hoping that it will continue to do so.

Members Reviews: Australian classic One of the real classic of Australian literature. Written by a very fine author. Very highly recommended. Should be required reading by every australian a superb novel I recently read this novel, which was published in 1910. Near the end of the novel, the narrator has this to say about the main character, Laura-- `she went from school with the uncomfortable sense of being a square peg which fitted into none of the round holes of her world; the wisdom she had got, the experience she was richer by, had, in the process of equipping her for life, merely seemed to disclose her unfitness. She could not then know that, even for the squarest peg, the right hole may ultimately be found; seeming unfitness prove to be only another aspect of a peculiar and special fitness.' The implication being that Laura had the right aptitude to become a writer, but not to fit in at school, so not fitting in was actually a blessing in disguise. I think that the late Joan Lindsay must have been very influenced by ` The Getting of Wisdom' in her creation of `Picnic at Hanging Rock' (1969). In many ways `Picnic at Hanging Rock' might be holding a dialogue with the earlier novel. Miranda's caring for poor thin little Sara Waybourne seems directly derivative of Evelyn's tender humouring and approval of the much younger, needy and doting girl, Laura. Mrs Appleyard is a bit like the formidable Mrs Gurley, though none of the governesses in `The Getting of Wisdom' are as brutal as Mrs Appleyard. `The Getting of Wisdom' is a superb novel, and rightfully a classic. It doesn't seem dated like some of Richardson's other writing. Even though Richardson was writing about a girls' boarding school in the 1880s, the content could easily be happening in the 1950s or even the 1960s. It is part of the 20th century literary tradition in both language and sensibility. Disappointing I am reading tons of books on Australia, written by Australians. I LOVED The Road From Coorain and My Brilliant Career and several others, but half-way through this book I decided to skim the rest of it. It was very predictable about a girl in a boarding school, being teased and sometimes tormented by the other students. Which is nothing new. I felt like I knew the outcome way before the end of the book, which was not true with several other Australian books I have read. However, I do have this author's book Myself When Young and I look forward to reading it to see how much of herself, how much truth, was in The Getting of Wisdom. I am sure she is a fabulous writer overall and certainly one of Australia's dearest, and that's why I was so disappointed in this book. Maybe it's just me.... An Australian Rebel I remember reading this book as a teenager, and thinking, "Yes, I understand!" every time the heroine, Laura, found herself at odds with the relentless conformity of school society. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Shiralee-Audiobook/B002V1NTXG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Shiralee Author: D'Arcy Niland Narrator: James Condon Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-09 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Strangers to each other at first, father and daughter drift aimlessly through the dusty towns of Australia, sleeping rough and relying on odd jobs for food and money. Buster's resilience and trust slowly erode Macauley's resentment, and when he's finally able to get rid of her, he realises he can't let his shiralee go. In evocative prose that vividly conjures images of rural Australia, The Shiralee reveals an understanding of the paradoxical nature of the burdens we carry and creates a moving portrait of fatherhood, told with gruff humour and a gentle pathos. Editorial Reviews: In D'Arcy Niland's The Shiralee, a pastoral tale of itinerant worker Macaulay and his four-year-old daughter, Buster, actor James Condon pitch-perfectly creates a cast of unmistakeable characters straight out of the Australian countryside. As they drift through towns looking for work and a place to sleep, Macaulay considers Buster to be a "shiralee", something burdensome in local parlance, and his resentment is clear. Buster chips away at Macauley's hard exterior until he can't imagine life without her. Condon's ear for the way people talk complements Niland's vivid descriptions, bringing rural Australia and this unique relationship clearly into focus. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (D'Arcy Niland) Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:02:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Shiralee-Audiobook/B002V1NTXG thebookvoice.com 09:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was always interesting to see how each story related to the topic of love. Beautifully read in a fresh translation Where does About Love and Other Stories rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? These are first class stories, insightful, compassionate. They changed the form. What other book might you compare About Love and Other Stories to, and why? It's really enjoyable to recognise their influence in work by Joyce, Carver, Pritchett and Trevor - in fact, twentieth century short fiction generally. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances? How does this one compare? First time experience of these narrators, and a very good one. Readers to keep an eye on. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I loved The Student. It's such a concise vision of self doubt and affirmation, very moving. But other stories, too. Any additional comments? Worth listening to once, then twice. then again. As always Chekhov work is outstanding what can I say ? literature at it's finest, beautifully written, entertaining absolutely wonderful - I love Chekhov. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Angelo-guarda-il-passato-Look-Homeward-Angel-Audiobook/B005EMQBP2 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Angelo, guarda il passato [Look Homeward, Angel] Autore: Thomas Wolfe Narratore: Silvia Cecchini Formato: Unabridged Durata: 25 hrs and 4 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 07-27-11 Editore: Collina d'oro Valutazioni: 2 su 5 su 2 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Thomas Clayton Wolfe, morto di tubercolosi a soli 38 anni, è uno scrittore e poeta statunitense.

Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Classics, World Literature Resumen del editor: Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) - Escritor ruso, cuyas obras de teatro, relatos y novelas se encuentran entre las obras maestras de la literatura realista rusa del siglo XIX. Nació el 31 de marzo de 1809, en Mirgorod, provincia de Poltava, de padres cosacos. En 1820 se fue a vivir a San Petersburgo, donde consiguió trabajo como funcionario público y se dio a conocer entre los círculos literarios. Entre 1826 y 1848 Gogol vivió principalmente en Roma. En 1843 viajó en peregrinación a Tierra Santa y a su regreso cayó bajo la influencia de un sacerdote fanático, quien le convenció de que sus obras narrativas eran pecaminosas. A raíz de ello, Gogol destruyó una gran cantidad de manuscritos inéditos. La figura de Gogol se puede comparar con la de otros grandes escritores rusos, como los novelistas Leon Tolstoi, Ivan Turgueniev y Fedor Dostoievski, y el poeta Alexandr Pushkin, que fue amigo íntimo durante toda su vida y el mejor crítico de su literatura. Murió el 4 de marzo de 1852, en Moscú, al borde de la locura. El capote - Akaki Akákievich es un funcionario que trabaja como copista. Hombre austero, sencillo y conformado con su gris rutina, dedica sus ratos libres a lo único que le complace, la fiel copia de documentos. Hace tiempo que su capote se cae a pedazos y, a base de privaciones y esfuerzo, reúne el dinero necesario para comprar uno nuevo. La prenda causa sensación entre sus compañeros que, medio en broma, organizan una cena en su honor. Tras la fiesta, mientras regresa a su casa, le atracan y le roban su preciado capote. El funcionario recurre a la autoridad en busca de justicia pero sólo recibe desconsideración y, poco después, muere víctima de un fuerte catarro. Pero el bueno de Akaki aún dará que hablar... Con este triste relato, salpicado de fino humor, Gogol hace un entrañable retrato de la desangelada existencia de un hombre que, a pesar de ello, encuentra su momento de gloria.

Missions are pillaged, native peasants are abused, and innocent men and women are persecuted by the corrupt governor and his army. But a champion of freedom rides the highways. His identity hidden behind a mask, the laughing outlaw Zorro defies the tyrants might. A deadly marksman and a demon swordsman, his flashing blade strikes down those who exploit the poor and oppressed. First published in 1919, The Mark of Zorro remains a paradigm of swashbuckling adventure and a popular novel to this day. Johnston McCulley (18831958), a one-time police reporter, was the author of hundreds of stories, fifty novels, plus numerous screenplays for film and television.

I have enjoyed several previous versions of the Zorro story, but this has to be one of--if not the best. This is, I think, the original version, and has not been surpassed. Also, the reader was perfect. In this story there is excitement, romance, villainy, heroism, irony, farce, humor, drama; and it made me laugh out loud. I don't think it gets better than that. It's okay, if.... If you've never seen a Zorro movie, then this is a good book. It may seem a bit slow, but the narrator does a fine job. If you *have* seen a Zorro movie....any Zorro movie.....this book moves from 'a bit slow' to plodding. I'm struggling to finish it. Great fun! I loved this more than the movies! It was actually an advantage to already know who the "real" man behind Zorro is when reading this story, for it allowed me to delight in every trick the man played right from the beginning. This was a true romantic, swashbuckling type adventure ride and a new favorite in my library! Also, the part of me that likes history loved hearing some of the original names of cities in the territory, and looking up some of the local history tied to the story. Except when doing that, I was itching to get back to the story every time I had to stop listening for awhile. Note on the performance: I chose a different version first based on the audio samples, but, though that narrator had great expression and voice, his pronunciation of Spanish names and his Spanish accent grated on me so much that I gave up and bought this one. I'm SO GLAD I did! In additiion to well-pronounced Spanish names and believable Spanish accents for the characters that use them, this narrator gave a much more entertaining performance than I expected and made good choices for each of the characters' voices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Forty-Seven-Ronins-Audiobook/B002UZZ3SW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is very short and is about a bunch of ronin who avenge their master's death. It was short and to the point. Had it been an hour longer, maybe it would have been too much. For under $2 this story is worth it though. Origin of many generations of tales. It's a good little story about loyalty, honor, courtesy, and respect. It's a simple tale with a fantastic amount of depth to it that allows it to tell much about people and also about Japanese culture. Walter Covell has a fantastic voice and solid pacing, and told the story well. As this story was originally Japanese, there are many names in it that were untranslated. Covell mispronounced them all. But his mispronunciation was internally consistent, so though it at first made me cringe, knowing the proper names, it isn't something persons who don't know the language would be bothered by. Mixed Feelings Be warned: if you have any knowledge of Japanese pronunciation, this reading is almost physically painful at times. If you don't know to tell, however, then by all means take a listen. The reading is otherwise very well done, and the story a classic. Japanese pronunciation will make you wince This is an awful rendition of a classic tale. Don't waste your money. Narration to fall asleep by. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Il-buio-oltre-la-siepe-Audiobook/B00UCQY0B2 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Il buio oltre la siepe Autore: Harper Lee Narratore: Alba Rohrwacher Formato: Unabridged Durata: 12 hrs and 17 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 06-03-11 Editore: Emons Edizioni Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 3 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: In una cittadina del "profondo" Sud degli Stati Uniti l'onesto avvocato Atticus Finch è incaricato della difesa d'ufficio di un "negro" accusato di violenza carnale; riuscirà a dimostrarne l'innocenza, ma l'uomo sarà ugualmente condannato a morte.

A Storytelling World Honor Book! Members Reviews: Three Stars good For those unfamiliar with the great man, Nasruddin is a Persian folk hero with ... For those unfamiliar with the great man, Nasruddin is a Persian folk hero with the âwise foolâ characteristics carried down in the oral traditions of other cultures throughout the centuries. Suresha does a terrific job of tracing down Nasruddinâs pedigree in his highly readable introduction, but the real meat of the book is in the stories themselves, traditionally read in groups of seven. His exchanges with the despotic Tamerlane are barbed and intelligent, and punchlines such as the one above are mere punctuation in the larger scope of the work. Suresha has also done a wonderful job of updating the language and cultural references but retaining the Old World flavor. Although there are no long, descriptive passages of the time or place, Sureshaâs detailing is so precise that by the middle of the book, you can see the town of Aksehir as if it were right outside your window. Rare hilarity Who knew? Well now, thanks to Ron Suresha, you do. There are others versions of the Mullah Nasrudin stories, but I doubt any are rendered in English with the superb, dry humor and the twinkle in the eye that Suresha gives his versions. Here is someone who really revels in the bawdiness. Check it out immediately, and hope you have the chance to hear Suresha read the tales aloud before an audience, as I have. very good Nasrudin stories are simply amusing. But that is only their first layer. They have deeper meanings.The Children of the Morning Light: Wampanoag Tales as Told By Manitonquatis an example of Native American storytelling, which also has layers of meaning, as isWhispers of the Ancients: Native Tales for Teaching and Healing in Our Time. These stories are truly amusing, and they also make you think. They are Trickster stories, from the Middle East. A book we need more of. This collection of Mullah Nasrudin folk tales is great. A tradition of stories that goes back some 800 years, from a part of the world that I knew previously little about.

He was a master of realistic fiction and is widely considered one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy's literal interpretation of the teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist.

His beatings are so severe as to be sometimes fatal and when he orders the serfs to plough the fields on Easter Sunday, a discussion begins as to whether they should assassinate the brutal steward. The peasants are divided on the subject. One group, led by Vasili are determined to murder the bully.

Title: A Candle Author: Leo Tolstoy Narrator: Cathy Dobson Format: Unabridged Length: 17 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-14 Publisher: Red Door Audiobooks Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer and philosopher who primarily wrote novels and short stories. He was a master of realistic fiction and is widely considered one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy's literal interpretation of the teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance are represented in his short story "A Candle", which tells the story of a group of peasants suffering under a tyrannical overseer. His beatings are so severe as to be sometimes fatal and when he orders the serfs to plough the fields on Easter Sunday, a discussion begins as to whether they should assassinate the brutal steward. The peasants are divided on the subject. One group, led by Vasili are determined to murder the bully. Another group, swayed by Piotr, believe it is best to bear their sufferings rather than to risk their souls. But neither group can possibly foresee the strange and terrible events that occur when Easter Sunday arrives. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Three-Apples-Classic-Tales-Edition-Audiobook/B06XPNK4W2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ha con sé i ricordi di un'esperienza - finita male - di colono bianco, la fotografia sbiadita della moglie e alcuni romanzi d'amore che legge e rilegge in solitudine. Ma il suo patrimonio è una sapienza speciale che gli viene dall'aver vissuto dentro la grande foresta, insieme agli indios shuar: un accordo intimo con i ritmi e i segreti della natura che i gringos, capaci soltanto di sfruttare e distruggere, non sapranno mai capire. Solo un uomo come lui potrà dunque adempiere al compito ingrato di inseguire e uccidere il tigrillo, il felino che, accecato dal dolore per l'inutile sterminio dei suoi cuccioli, si aggira minaccioso per vendicarsi sull'uomo.

(...) Sotto l'apparente ingenuità di un racconto spesso espressionista, quasi barocco, Luis Sepúlveda riporta il romanzo al passato incantato delle sue origini, quello della leggenda e del mito, quello degli uomini e dei luoghi che non muoiono mai. -- Michele Gazier, Telerama Il libro è una denuncia impietosa, ma non enfatica, della distruzione cieca, sistematica, crudele e stupida di questa foresta-continente che è l'Amazzonia e, con essa, degli equilibri fragili e vitali che legano l'uomo e il suo ambiente naturale... Sepúlveda ci offre tutto questo con generosità e freschezza. Ha il senso della narrazione, concisa ed efficace, il gusto delle immagini finemente cesellate, un grande dono dell'evocazione che gli permette di rendere semplici, stilizzandoli, gli esseri e gli avvenimenti più complicati.

Critic Reviews: Witty and sad at the same time. Profound and dazzling." (Chicago Sun-Times) Members Reviews: A dry run at big, complex themes Nabokov's tenth novel and first published novel written in English, 'The Real Life of Sebastian Knight' for me seemed like a dry run at big, complex themes he would later use in Ada (funky plot structure) and Pale Fire (meta-fixation on another 'artists' literary work) along with a complex, Möbius-like narrative. Is this a story written by literary author Sebastian Knight about a real or imagined younger brother's search for himself? OR is it (as it first seems) a story about a younger brother writing a biography about a dead or imagined famous writer/brother, and following clues,etc about his half brother's life? Can it be both? How much of it is a funky memoir of Nabokov's own emotional state after leaving Russia? To me Nabokov was writing on a chiral strip that appears to have two-sides, but might just have one. Clever? Absolutely, but just not in the same league as his great English novels (Pale Fire, Lolita, Ada) or even his very very good Russian and English novels (Despair, Pnin, Glory, etc) . Still, for Nabokov's first novel written in a foreign (although no tongue for VN seems foreign), it dances and moves quite nicely. I guess, besides the Möbius visual I got after finishing 'The Real Life of SK', I should also admit that Nabokov made it impossible to avoid chess images. Chess is a common theme in many of his novels (the Defense; King, Queen, Knave, etc.), but some novels are just shaded with opaque chess shadows, while others (like this one) seem to have every piece and the board thrown in. This novel kinda reminded me of a ruleless game of chess I played with my older brother (who died suddenly four years ago) when I was young. The pieces didn't behave (at least my Black pieces didn't behave) and at one point I drove my brother absolutely nuts because after nearly clearing the board we somehow managed to be left with just his White King and my Black King. I insisted we play till the game was over, but we just circled the board. I wouldn't let the fake game end in a draw, but the set up was impossible so I just chased him around and around and around the board. That fake game felt a lot like 'the Real Life of Sebastian Knight', just not nearly as literary and didn't end with both frustrated kings jammed up my nose. Nabokov's book for writers This isn't regarded as one of Nabokov's best work. It's not even among his better. But as his first book in english, and as a story about introspection and identity, it speaks to the writer profoundly. One has the sense Nabokov is taking the reader through the experience of entering a new language and a new identity. The novel is almost instructional in that it reads as a guide to discovering the self through writing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Daphnis-und-Chloe-Audiobook/B00TM1ZDH8 Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titel: Daphnis und Chloe Autor:: Longos Erzähler: Verena von Kerssenbrock Format: Abridged Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 33 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07-20-05 Herausgeber: Naxos GmbH, Deutschland Kategorien: Classics, World Literature Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: "Man tut wohl, 'Daphnis und Chloe' alle Jahr einmal zu lesen" - so Goethe über diese unzweifelhaft schönste Liebesgeschichte aller Zeiten.

Mit Musik von Antonio Vivaldi. (p)und(c) 1998 Naxos Hörbücher Mitglieder Bewertungen: Marc Chagall: Daphnis and Chloe Book came in great condition. This book is just lovely. Years ago, when I took my daughter to The Art Institute in Chicago...she was entranced with Marc Chagall's work (there was a special exhibit of his theatre art). This book is a gorgeous story illustrated by Marc Chagall....I love it. Chagall illustrates a classic tale The Chagall illustrations are beautiful. Erotic, tender, and romantic ancient tale with incredible illustrations by Marc Chagall "Daphnis and Chloe" is one of the best known early Greek romances, precursors to the modern novel. Admired by Goethe, it has been reinterpreted in music and art by Ravel and Chagall. Written by Longus in the second century A.D, it is a classical romance involving the adventures of two foundling children raised by adopted parents who are humble shepherds in the idyllic setting of the Isle of Lesbos. It is a famous love story that captures the awakening of a first love between two teenagers who don't know what is happening to them. The novel that is written almost two thousands years ago is surprisingly modern; it is erotic, tender, romantic, sensual, and simply beautiful. When I read it first time many years ago (I was very much into the ancient art, literature, history, and philosophy), I asked myself why the literature and art did not stop right there and then - nothing better could be possibly done. It is not true, of course but it was one of the rare moments that you'd like to capture and cherish forever. Last month while visiting the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, I bought a miniature book that includes a suite of 42 Lithographs created by Marc Chagall (1887-1985) to illustrate "Daphnis and Chloe". Chagall's visual interpretation of the Greek pastoral romance of the 2nd (or 3rd) century AD is unique and unforgettable. Even if you don't like Chagall's style, you will not be able to forget it. With his 42 Lithographs, Chagall created a monument to both, Longus and himself. "Daphnis and Chloe" is known as one of the great illustrated books of our time. A delightful tale The story dates from classical Greece. After two thousand years, the story is still fresh and charming - the sign of a true classic. It's about young love, eager and inept, with gods, pirates, and other harmless excitement. The writer included the happy fumblings of physical affection that a modern author would have shied from, sweet and not at all salacious. The story finishes with an improbable and triumphantly happy ending. Good happy fun, and not a lengthy read. Beyond the story itself, I found this book very informative. The story is supposedly one that Shakespeare read, and it shows. Some of the Bard's endings look a bit recycled once you've read Daphnis and Chloe. I also found that it explained Marc Chagall's cycle of lithographs - the images make more sense, now that I've seen their inspiration. In addition, there's satisfaction in knowing that this story, with such influence on such great minds, and is now a part of my education, too.

Il giovane protagonista del romanzo, spinto da una inarrestabile ambizione, e favorito da due travolgenti storie amorose, la prima con la moglie del sindaco di una piccola cittadina e la seconda con la figlia di un marchese, riesce ad innalzarsi nella scala sociale fino ad ottenere un titolo nobiliare e una rendita.

Struggente racconto di come la vita può scorrere via in modo tanto infame nonostante una tranquilla apparenza. Five Stars Libro prezioso e misterioso. Letteratura Grande libro. Una lettura piacevole e di sostanza. La vita di un uomo nella sua umanità più intensa ed eterna. Si legge come un libro di consumo, ma ramifica percezioni e riflessioni come un opera letteraria vera. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Dubliners-Volume-2-Audiobook/B002V5D6K8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Dubliners, Volume 2 Author: James Joyce Narrator: Jim Norton Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-00 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: In the second half of Joyce's collection of stories about the citizens of Dublin at the turn of the century, the young author deals with themes of adulthood - of loss, parenthood, politics, religion, and - as in the earlier stories - of disappointment. Rich in humor and musical allusion, they contain (in "A Painful Case", for example, and "The Dead"), some of Joyce's most powerful and moving prose. Holding none of the difficulties of Joyce's most powerful and moving prose. Holding none of the difficulties of Joyce's later novels, such as Ulysses, Dubliners is, in its way, just as radical. These stories introduce us to the city which fed Joyce's entire creative output, and to many of the characters who made it such a well of literary inspiration. Editorial Reviews: Jim Norton continues his interpretation of James Joyce's classic volume of short stories, originally published in 1914. Norton gives us lively characterizations between narration delivered with a solemn detachment. Musical choices punctuate the narration.

Title: In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe Subtitle: Classic Tales of Horror, 1816-1914 Author: Leslie S. Klinger - editor, Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Narrator: Traber Burns, Gildart Jackson, full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 10-15-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: A masterful collection of horror fiction by widely acclaimed authors whose contributions to the genre have been lost in the shadow of Poe. Edgar Allan Poe did not invent the tale of terror. There were American, English, and continental writers who preceded Poe and influenced his work. Similarly, there were many who were in turn influenced by Poe's genius and produced their own popular tales of supernatural literature. This collection features masterful tales of terror by authors who, by and large, are little remembered for their writing in this genre. Even Bram Stoker, whose Dracula may be said to be the most popular horror novel of all time, is not known as a writer of short fiction. Distinguished editor Leslie S. Klinger is a world-renowned authority on those twin icons of the Victorian age, Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. His studies into the forefathers of those giants led him to a broader fascination with writers of supernatural literature of the 19th century. Includes stories by Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Theophile Gautier, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lafcadio Hearn, M. R. James, Bram Stoker, and many others. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Leslie S.

Klinger - editor, Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Narrator: Traber Burns, Gildart Jackson, full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 10-15-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: A masterful collection of horror fiction by widely acclaimed authors whose contributions to the genre have been lost in the shadow of Poe. Edgar Allan Poe did not invent the tale of terror. There were American, English, and continental writers who preceded Poe and influenced his work. Similarly, there were many who were in turn influenced by Poe's genius and produced their own popular tales of supernatural literature. This collection features masterful tales of terror by authors who, by and large, are little remembered for their writing in this genre. Even Bram Stoker, whose Dracula may be said to be the most popular horror novel of all time, is not known as a writer of short fiction. Distinguished editor Leslie S. Klinger is a world-renowned authority on those twin icons of the Victorian age, Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. His studies into the forefathers of those giants led him to a broader fascination with writers of supernatural literature of the 19th century. Includes stories by Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Theophile Gautier, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lafcadio Hearn, M. R. James, Bram Stoker, and many others.

Title: Mumu Author: Ivan Turgenev Narrator: Max Bollinger Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-15 Publisher: Interactive Media Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: An audiobook adaptation of Turgenev's story set on the outskirts of Moscow, in the house of an old widow. The story was written in 1854 by Ivan Turgenev, a great Russian novelist of the nineteenth century. Turgenev wrote Mumu with such vivid images and reflections of the state of tsarist Russia that this piece, together with his other stories, was credited with having influenced public opinion in favour of the abolition of serfdom in 1861. Critic Reviews: "An absolute classic, Mumu gives a wonderfully vivid picture of life for the poor in Russia, can't be faulted. It is great to have an audiobook version, which really brought the story to life. I really enjoyed listening to this, but the real star is Turgenev's writing." (Nikki Pierce) "Mumu by Ivan Tergenev is a brilliant story superbly narrated by Max Bollinger. By turns tragic and comic the story concerns a deaf-mute serf whose love for a laundress is unrequited and who instead befriends a dog, the Mumu of the title." (Alan Moreton) "It is a poignant story which brought me close to tears. But it made me think as well. The narrator has done a very good job with his choice of translation, and his slight accent adds to the story."

(Joseph Belliveau) Members Reviews: Timeless greatness - but you may weep "Mymy", an intensely moving tale, is one of the greatest short stories ever written. And it is written by one of the world's greatest short-story writers. If you have never read it, you must, or there will be forever a hole in your knowledge and a lack in your understanding. Mymy is part of the world's cultural heritage. Few fiction writers can create fully three-dimensional credible human beings with words, or evoke a time and place as vividly and truthfully, as Anton Chechov can. To read this little book is to live, experience, and feel in another dimension. Capolavoro! One of the GREATEST masterpieces of the Russian literature! A Deeply Moving Experience: Turgenev's 'Mumu' read by Max Pollinger Max Bollinger continues to bring to our attention works of Russian literature (Bollinger was born in Russia but now lives and works in England). His previous audio books of stories by Chekhov has a growing listening public, so much of the flavor of the works as read by Bollinger is essentially Russian, that together with Bollinger's training in acting makes him the perfect narrator. Now here is a new release of the story Mumu by Ivan Turgenev, a story not many of us may know, but in this reading Bollinger makes it come alive. The first section sets the mood of the story reading a fine translation by Constance Garnett, describing the owner of an aging mansion and her porter Gerasim. The story has been described as follows: 'A terrible story that, better than any manifesto, indicted the absolute tyrannical cruelty of pre-revolutionary landowners in Russia. Gerasim is a deaf and dumb peasant, brought from the country to serve his mistress (modeled on Turgenev's monstrous mother) as caretaker of her city property on the outskirts of Moscow. He doesn't like his new life, but gets used to it, especially after he rescues a little puppy with black and white spots from the riverbank. Having this dog, Mumu, he finally has love in his bitter and otherwise loveless life, and the dog worships him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anna-Karenina-Vol-2-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B00ZIW7OS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Cleopatra Author: Henry Rider Haggard Narrator: Brian Troxell Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: A novel written by the author H. Rider Haggard, the author of King Solomon's Mines and She. This book was first printed in 1889. The story is set in the Ptolemaic era of ancient Egyptian history and revolves around the survival of a dynasty bloodline protected by the priesthood of Isis. The main character, Harmachis (the living descendant of this bloodline), is charged by the priesthood with overthrowing the supposed impostor - Cleopatra - driving out the Romans, and restoring Egypt to its golden era. Editorial Reviews: Henry Rider Haggard's wildly imaginative novels are very much a product of his fin de siècle era, laden with Victorian exoticism and concepts of adventure. Haggard's fictional characters have been referenced by Sigmund Freud and have inspired modern movie heroes like "Indiana Jones". Due to its somewhat stiff language (many "thou's" and "thee's), supposedly "transcribed" from papyrus scrolls, Cleopatra hasn't been as popular over the years as Haggard's novels She and King Solomon's Mines, but Brian Troxell's skilled performance manages to soften the audiobook's formal diction. The novel's eponymous heroine is just as compelling a character as Ayesha, a.k.a.

Someone is sneaking into an Egyptian tomb, confronting a mummy, and looking for secrets. It reminds me of the scene where the main character in another adventure thriller lowers himself into the tomb of a long-dead Arab sheik. I don't remember the name of it. But it's probably from the same time period. It seems that the Victorian and Edwardian eras had all the really good stuff. Everything since then has been only a shadow of former glory when it comes to novels, especially adventure, mystery, and thriller novels. Everything now is gritty. Back then it was romantic. by Linda Cargill, author of Key to Lawrence A Fresh Perspective Haggard presents the familiar tale of Antony and Cleopatra through the eyes of a rival who seeks Egypt's throne but falls, unrequited, under her spell. The story appears on rolls of papyrus found in the protagonist's tomb. As a result, Haggard abandons his typical prose for a biblical style. After adjusting to it, I thought the formal writing enhanced the story. A Believable Fantasy set in Egypt When I originally downloaded this book I just thought it was a biography of Cleopatra. Little did I know that once I started reading this novel I would be completely captivated by the story. This story has betrayal, romance, intrigue, murder plots, tormented passion, unrequited love and a lust for vengeance. To be honest it is almost biblical. Henry Rider Haggard had a deep understanding of Egyptian religion and some things surprised me as they seemed to mirror Christian religious elements. Henry Rider Haggard artfully captures the time and place of ancient Egypt. There are beautifully descriptive passages that lure the mind as well as the heart. The descriptions of luxury and grandeur are a pleasure to read. You may however think that the main character telling the story, Harmachis, is a fool to fall for the seductive and deceitful Cleopatra while honest love waits patiently for him. The ending of this story is a little abrupt, however it is an exciting adventure with many twists and turns of fate. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Il-sogno-di-un-uomo-ridicolo-Audiobook/B078BQY2MF Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: Il sogno di un uomo ridicolo Autore: Fedor M.

La sua ricerca finisce per prendere inquietanti aspetti che si avvicinano ad una molteplicità di sapore faustiano, fino ad una modificazione tale dei propri comportamenti, che spinge sua moglie, i parenti e gli amici a considerarlo pazzo. Il suo tormentato "io", ormai impossibilitato a riconoscersi nella maschera che gli altri gli hanno assegnato, si frantuma in "centomila alter ego". La situazione precipita fino alla separazione dalla moglie, la quale inizia, insieme ad alcuni amici, un'azione legale nel tentativo di interdirlo. La sua opposizione alla "finzione" della società ed il suo delirio visionario lo costringeranno in un ospizio per il resto dei suoi giorni.

Members Reviews: I like the writing of Conrad and Heart of darkness is ... I have read some of the extremely detailed comments from some people. I like the writing of Conrad and Heart of darkness is no exception. To me some people read too much into what Conrad wrote. To me he simply wanted to critisize the grossly inefficiant and incompetent Belgian colonisation of the Congo. The inefficiency is highlighted by the 3 month wait for rivets to repair the steamer. The station managers of the "company" are grotesque and stupid. Kurtz has gone "local" and the reference to the feathered women parading up and down, indicates that Kurtz is lost to Western society. I read the book several times and love the atmosphere Conrad describes. A classic too is the decription of how the Romans found England going up the Thames (In the beginning of the book). This is the best edition of the best novella-length story ever written -- ... This is the best edition of the best novella-length story ever written -- an absolute masterpiece, and the accompanying background and critical materials in the Norton edition are invaluable. (Tip: Don't skip Conrad's letter in which he describes his "method" of writing!) This is a difficult, complex story that, if you read far enough into it, will grab you and will not let go until the very last sentence. A work of genius on multiple levels! If you haven't read it, read it now! If you have read it, read the historical and analytical materials in this edition and then read it again! Powerful prose Marlow, a reflective and thoughtful seaman , relates a tale of his travel up the Congo river to a small group of men. Darkness is theme, darkness in men's hearts as they enclaves native people in theme quest for riches. Darkness of the jungle, the fog, the natives , the river and the conquest of land, people and resources. Thud short story is beautifully written. The development of each character is so precise that one feels they personally know each participant in this powerful drama. This story will remain a classic. Strange book, not exciting, but strange enough to get you to finish it. This is a strange book, but it kind of keeps you reading. My son had to read thismin college and I remember he wrote a really good paper on it. I read it then too. It is very strange but keeps you with it, maybe because it is so strange. Not all that exciting, but strange Not the apocalypse I expected Not exactly something I would read again, but certainly not as bad as I was expecting. I was told over and over how wordy and difficult it is. While it is wordy, I've read much worse! Though some cry racism, I tend to disagree. Conrad was a man of his time and was subject to racist slurs himself. Look at the value this story has in all ways, not just take offence to certain remarks. Then watch Apocalypse Now (and tell me how it was, I was too chicken!) Read it for a university class. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/La-vita-davanti-a-se-Audiobook/B00S9O4QUO Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> Titolo: La vita davanti a sé Autore: Romain Gary Narratore: Marco D'Amore Formato: Unabridged Durata: 6 hrs and 10 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 01-16-15 Editore: Emons Edizioni Valutazioni: 3 su 5 su 2 voti Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Nella banlieue multietnica di Parigi, il piccolo Momò dagli occhi neri vive con Madame Rosa, anziana prostituta ebrea sopravvissuta ad Auschwitz, il cane Super e altri ragazzini.

Title: Dubliners, Volume 1 Author: James Joyce Narrator: Jim Norton Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-00 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of short stories about the lives of the people of Dublin around the turn of the century. Each story describes a small but significant moment of crisis or revelation in the life of a particular Dubliner, sympathetically but always with stark honesty. Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it. This work holds none of the difficulties of Joyce's later novels, such as Ulysses, yet in its way it is just as radical. These stories introduce us to the city which fed Joyce's entire creative output, and to many of the characters who made it such a well of literary inspiration. Editorial Reviews: It was a wise choice to cast Jim Norton as the performer of this collection of James Joyce's short stories. A native Dubliner himself, Norton provides a masterful palette of characterizations for each of the 10 pieces, fleshing out the realities of their oftentimes stark and difficult lives with technique that no one but a true local could bring. Irish music is interspersed throughout the production, lending an even more authentic feel without ever becoming overbearing. This is Joyce's most accessible work; this audio format makes it additionally rewarding. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (James Joyce) Fri, 01 Sep 2000 08:46:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Dubliners-Volume-1-Audiobook/B002UZKUNU thebookvoice.com 02:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Her stories often feature young women in the process of maturity, confronting for the first time some of the realities of life. In the title story, a young woman's garden party coincides with the death of a working-class neighbor, bringing a brush of mortality and realism into her carefully constructed plans and ideals. Her difficulty in fully realizing the seriousness of the event is typical of Mansfield's ironic world.

Would you try another book from Katherine Mansfield and/or Marguerite Gavin? Katherine Mansfield's stories are delicate gems, but they require a sensitive reading, which is sadly lacking here. What did you like best about this story? The stories are held together with tiny strands, usually made from the internal emotional progression of the characters, but sometimes held together by the reader's emotional reaction to the story. A specific effect or mood seems to be intended, so it's more effective to read/hear these stories at one sitting. These are delicacies, not steak and potatoes. But when you connect with the story, the emotional zingers are quite powerful. That is what I enjoy about Mansfield's stories. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator is terrible, I'm sorry to say. This my first great disappointment with an Audible.com narrator. I guess she is trying to sound ironic, but instead she sounds laconic, catatonic, lobotomized, monotone. Once in a while she loses her self-consciousness and gets emotionally connected with the reading. At those times she is fairly effective. What character would you cut from The Garden Party and Other Stories? These are exquisite masterpieces for the connoisseur who appreciates them. You can't edit masterpieces! Any additional comments? Look for another collection with a different narrator. This reading is just too painful to enjoy. lovely reads soothing and artistic voices. a pleasure to listen throughout the day and during a long drive https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Twenty-Minute-Tales-Audiobook/B00S45B6I8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are so many better short stories than those -- worse yet: I can't choose what to listen since the lack titles or names of the authors. If I can't select which story to listen then every story better be great! But not so lucky, after 3 or four mediocre ones I skipped a few they got worse and I decided it is no worth my time. Loved the 20 minute factor Patchy - some really good stories and some not so good. Cathy Dobson has an unusual narrating voice. It worked well for most of the narration.

Recensioni dei membri: autor básico para italoparlantes lo elegí porque estudio literatura italiana. es un autor fundamental de la literatura europea del s xx. no me gusta a veces que el libro tenga errores ortográficos-en uno falta una carilla!- Es lectura para quien le guste la literatura italiana y la tematica de escritores como SVEVO, PIRANDELLO.Tocan lo profundo del alma humana.Nada superficiales, pero no son difíciles. vale la pena su lectura en la medida en que somos humanos ,como sus personajes. it is a good Some typos, but considering the price, it is a good buy Scritto bene ma uggioso Questo libro e' scritto bene, ma e' spesso uggioso. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-Ghost-Stories-Volume-2-Audiobook/B00AWEL2OM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Opiniones de los miembros: I Love It One of the best books I have hear/read ever. Could not put it down from beginning to end. A Must have in a collection. 10 out of 10 A nice and well narrated story If you could sum up La Dama de las Camelias [The Lady of the Camelias] in three words, what would they be? Interesting, sad, well narrated What other book might you compare La Dama de las Camelias [The Lady of the Camelias] to and why? I think many stories about prostitutes have been narrated but this has no comparison. What about the narrators performance did you like? His ability to place you in the scene with the different characters If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Romance La Dama de las Camelias Es indudablemente uno de los mejores libros que he escuchado en mi vida. Me identifique con Armando y llore al recordar a un viejo amor. Sin duda me impacto, lo recomiendo 100%. Tambien tengo que decir que los narradores fueron expectaculares casi se sentia uno estar a la par de ellos. Excelente Me encant? este Audiolibro. Alejandro Dumas es un maestro de la novela, y aqu? lo demuestra. Las voces est?n incre?bles y s?per bien actuadas. Me encant? la novela, la recomiendo al 100% ¡Simplemente Excelente! Una gran caracterización. Hace tiempo me habían recomendado leer este libro. Inicialmente por mis afanes y luego por pereza, fui postergando mi encuentro con esta obra. Finalmente, decidí escuchar el audiolibro en un viaje largo y quedé atrapado en la belleza y la forma de la narración. No pude dejar de escucharlo. Inclusive, he tenido que repetir una y otra vez, para mí disfrute, los capítulos 24 al 27. Felicito a la dirección y a todos los que de una u otra forma estuvieron involucrados en la creación de esta obra digital.

Title: Zodomirsky's Duel Author: Alexandre Dumas Narrator: Cathy Dobson Format: Unabridged Length: 32 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-14 Publisher: Red Door Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was one of France's best-known and most-prolific authors. He excelled at many genres, but is probably best known for his stories of high adventure and dashing derring do. In Zodomirsky's Duel, he tells the tale of an unusual duel between officers in a regiment stationed on the Austrian border. A new officer has arrived, Lieutenant Zodomirsky, who is betrothed to the beautiful Mademoiselle Ravensky. The dour Sub-Lieutenant Stamm is far from impressed by the handsome, popular, and wealthy newcomer, who also has a reputation for being overly hot-headed. Stamm himself had secret hopes where Mademoiselle Ravensky was concerned. Stamm goes out of his way to insult Zodomirsky, which inevitably leads to a challenge to a duel. But Stamm sets some very unusual stipulations as to the method of the contest... which means that Zodomirsky's natural advantage in any armed combat is quickly reversed. The outcome of the duel is completely unexpected and more terrible for both parties than anything either of them could have conceived. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Alexandre Dumas) Tue, 08 Jul 2014 21:36:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Zodomirskys-Duel-Audiobook/B00LI9EHXS thebookvoice.com 00:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Leopardi si sforza, a volte con spietatezza ed ironia, di "chiarirgli" quale sia il suo destino. Le Operette sono considerate uno dei capolavori della letteratura italiana di tutti i tempi. In questo audiolibro potete ascoltare tre fra i dialoghi più significativi di questa produzione leopardiana.

Recensioni dei membri: Rapporto conflittuale ho un rapporto molto conflittuale con questo libro, ne penso bene e male. Il primo problema che incontro è di autorevolezza. Nel senso che questo è un autore che ha vinto il nobel, è considerato uno dei migliori scrittori moderni del mondo. A me non piace come scrive. Non mi piace il suo linguaggio, il suo modo artificiale di costruire i dialoghi, spesso troppo lontani dal parlato comune, non mi piace che chiunque parli lo faccia con un tono medio-alto borghese, gli unici che si lasciano andare a un linguaggio più povero sono i ciechi malvagi del manicomio, come ad intendere che le parole pulite rispecchino la pulizia dell'animo, capisco l'allegoria, però sarà che sono cresciuto a pane e Palahniuk ma se la gente non parla come mangia io non riesco a sentire il racconto reale. Mi piace invece la storia, l'intreccio, l'originalità delle idee, l'osservazione così profonda della miseria dell'animo umano, il fatto che non ci sono nomi, ma tratti descrittivi a dividere un personaggio dall'altro. Mi piace poi che tutto parta da un avvenimento surreale che accade e non c'è nessun dovere nello spiegare come. Indipendentemente da i miei dubbi gusti letterari, è sicuramente un libro molto valido, letto in modo convincente. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Anna-Karenina-Vol-1-Audiobook/B0112MJD3E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unusual Would you try another book from James Joyce and/or Alec Sand? Yes, I like most of James Joyce's work and I thought Alec Sand did a good job. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I was surprised that it just ended. What does Alec Sand bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Animation and character. If this book were a movie would you go see it? They would have to put a lot more into it. It is a very short story. Any additional comments? I picked it to listen to on New Years Eve because that is when the story is to have taken place. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Kiss-and-The-Problem-Audiobook/B002UZK1WA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(P)2008 Roberson Audio Members Reviews: Great Stories with Acceptable Narration These are two very good Chekhov short stories with acceptable narration. Both of these are wonderful examples of Chekhov shorts. They both show dramatic character change through internal dialog. The only downside is the narration, which is better than most of the Roberson Audio Publications titles I have listened to, but it is still not great narration. At just 63 cents this was definitely worth it (dont use a full credit), but these stories deserve a better presentation. A czekhov classic love it Where does 'The Kiss' and 'The Problem' rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? For those who love Czekhov's this is one of his best work and this is a very good version of that work. What was one of the most memorable moments of 'The Kiss' and 'The Problem'? The mystery veiled in the different rooms, as the hero searching for the woman whom he thinks he loves and the woman who he thinks loves him. What about John William Cawthornes performance did you like? Wonderful as useually, he is an actor more than a narrator. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The is a sad humour to the story. One neither laughs or cries however one does get caught up in the irony. Any additional comments? Nicely put together for the price. Not my favorite Chek Any additional comments? These stories had a beginning a middle and no end. Both main characters had defeatist attitudes, not something I'm very fond of. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Tales-of-the-Occult-Audiobook/B002VAA002 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Some readers better than others but, overall, very creepy. guilty! i like this genre. a little dated, a little stilted, but now and then there is a real gem and, if you are drawn to this style, it is worth the listen. If you can take the accent If you could sum up Tales of the Occult in three words, what would they be? Like Lovecraft? What did you like best about this story? As a Lovecraft fan it is easy to slip into these stories. What do you think the narrator could have done better? Sound less like a London Public School Boy. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The stories are good but the narrator is just too posh to handle. It made me feel like I was sitting in Regents Park eavesdropping on two old friends talking. Any additional comments? I would recommend listing to a preview of it before buying; if you like the narrator go for it! Great Collection i enjoyed most of the stories in this collection but a few stories in the middle the audio spikes up and down making it extremely irritating to listen to, i dont know how you guys allow simply garbage audio files get to your customers when anyone with a headset could record better quailty audio files for free. I tried the regular and high quality files and listening to it in the browser player its all the same bad recording... Not unlistenable but very unprofessional. Great Stories, Terrible Production Any additional comments? Need to correct the production problems in the sound quality and this would be a great audio product. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Metamorphosis-Audiobook/B009CEYILW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/55/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narration totally bums this version out....it could almost be a computer reading this...is it? terrible Where does The Metamorphosis rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? a terrible robotic reading of the story - i cannot really suggest anyone buying this - i had to stop it before it drove me crazy Did Tim Campbell do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? no Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? yes, the robotic tone of voice really made me be unable to continue listening Change by Chris Selna is a much better version Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Not this version. But as far as the book, yes. It's often cited as the greatest short story. What did you like best about this story? The premise and beautiful thoughts about the human condition, crappy jobs and family loyalties. How did the narrator detract from the book? Not nearly up to par with this classic story. Way too underplayed. Like I said earlier, my fave audiobook version is 'Change' by Chris Selna, narrated by Ron Herczig. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Yes. Any additional comments? This my favorite book so on the 100th anniversary I listened to all the audiobook versions. By far the best was narrated by Ron Herczig and adapted by Chris Selna. The title is 'Change'. Tim Campbell is a computer or a terrible narrator Would you be willing to try another one of Tim Campbells performances? No way. I couldn't listen to this for more than 2 minutes. I had to buy another version. Either Tim Campbell is a computer, or a human being whose narration was poorly auto tuned to make him sound like a computer. Either way I couldn't pay attention to the words. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment as I had to stop it in the beginning due to horrible narration. Any additional comments? Always listen to the previews before buying. Do not rely on star rating. Lesson learned. Luckily this lesson only cost me $2. Great story, maybe weirdly read, but I enjoyed it. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it is cheap enough not to fret about, short enough to give a chance, and overall rewarding. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Metamorphosis? Delving into the mind and sympathizing with a cockroach. Did not think I could go there but I did. I hate cockroaches. What does Tim Campbell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Definitely check out the sample first. The performer has a languid, almost mechanical pace to his voice. But for me it worked.
