Title: Brown Wolf Author: Jack London Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 36 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: This is a story from the Classic American Short Stories collection. Five great American short story writers, dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, are represented here. Different in atmosphere and writing style, they nevertheless caught the mood and concerns of the day in a way that was distinctly American. Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" leaves echoes in the imagination; the stories by Crane and London recall the themes of the Civil War and the Klondike for which they are well known. Twain's humor is to the fore in "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," and O. Henry's sharp observations make his neat tales a joy to listen to. An attractive and accessible collection! Editorial Reviews: Recipient of an AudioFile Earphones Award, narrator William Roberts does not disappoint with his robust performance of Jack London's short story about a brown wolf who appears at a mountain cottage and is eventually won over by a married couple who later discover that the wolf has an owner. Roberts unreels the story at a brisk but accessible pace, and listeners will appreciate his lively descriptions of the relationships between man, animal, and nature. Roberts depicts the characters - including the wolf - with distinctive voices that ring with sympathy and realism, and he conveys the story's bittersweet ending with a restrained wistfulness. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack London) Wed, 20 Nov 2013 02:54:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Brown-Wolf-Audiobook/B00GSE48AA thebookvoice.com 00:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good price and fast delivery Interesting selection from Barnes and Noble. Good price and fast delivery. Thank you. Wonderful stories, melodramatic readings; nearly unlistenable It is almost a crime to subject classic short stories such as these to this kind of audio treatment. Each is introduced with cheap sound effects or maudlin music. The reader is hopelessly overdramatic, mispronounces words like "coquettry" and cheapens the narrative with dripping emotion and weird rhetorical lifts in his voice. Worst of all is the dialogue which, as if in a radio play, is read by a variety of voices, women for female characters, men for male. Accents are over-wrought, turning the dialogue of masters like Twain and Fitzgerald into caricature. These great stories should be read and, if they must be read aloud, done with respect rather than fear that listeners might be bored without cheap theatrics. Excellent Readings These are very good readings of some good stories. Particularly impressive is Bierce's classic "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." This story holds up well on re-reading. On one level it's a cool "Twilight Zone" kind of story: man has out of body experience as he's about to be hanged. But on a deeper level, the story is about the interplay of mind and matter and about how to face death. The O Henry pieces are all amusing, but his stories are a bit superficial and contrived, and I'm not sure they really deserve to dominate this collection. Nor are the Crane and London pieces their best. But these are good stories, and the readers are excellent.

When Roderick announces that his sister has died, and they place her coffin in the vaults of the House of Usher for two weeks prior to burial, neither of them can imagine the horror which is to follow. Poe at his most macabre. Members Reviews: Subtle Horror Can't be fairly compared to the horror novels of today, and that could go both ways. If you can sit down and shut out the world, slow down your own thoughts, and listen to the words, you will feel the anxiety building in layers, with even nature contributing to the ultimate madness and horror. The centuries old family castle is itself a creature conspiring to hold its inhabitants in a dark limbo. A short story with hardly a plot -- but simply, horribly, brilliant. Listening to Poe is like watching a great painter build his canvas stroke by stroke into a masterpiece. Full of Pshchological Dread Over three decades since I last read this classic of the genre that Poe made his own and which he labelled in his anthology, the "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque", it has lost none of psychological intensity. Long before there was Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock before him, Poe was frightening the growing number of adults who were looking for something more than the prevalent romances of his time. In some ways, Poe borrowed from the noir repertoire that was entrenched in Paris, in others, as I have mentioned, he created his own style. The symbolism is almost as important as the literal, and it remains so. I regret that I did not care for Ms Dobson's reading. In my opinion she paused where there was no warrant to pause and her nasal delivery grated upon me. Also, perhaps strangely, she ended many sentences with a flat, downward inflection to the detriment of the words and the symbolism. The rating is a reflection of the narration, not the tale that remains as full of dread today as when I first read it. These Hollow Halls Poe's verbiage wafts through the air like the sound of a beautiful harp. His description of the Usher Manor paints a picture so clear that you can't help but feel you have been there. Could a tortuous haunting, so relentless, drive an inhabatant into madness? Surprisingly boring I didn't find this scary, just really quite boring. Perhaps Poe has been copied and modern horror has desensitized us. I had expected this to be scarier. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Summer-Audiobook/B0042R6N8A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summer Author: Edith Wharton Narrator: Lorna Raver Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: One of America's first novels to deal frankly with a young woman's sexual awakening, Summer shocked readers with its forthright exploration of desire and sexuality when it was first published in 1917. Set in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts, it tells the story of Charity Royall, a young New England woman of humble origins who meets and falls in love with the worldly Lucius Harney, an architect from the city. In evocative and descriptive prose, Edith Wharton conveys the ecstasy of Charity's first experience in sexual and romantic love, and pulls her heroine through the throes of loving a man who ultimately cannot choose her.

Members Reviews: Not the best Wharton, but very good nevertheless Charity is growing up in North Dormer, a very small, very provincial village around the first quarter of the twentieth century. When still a small child, she had been brought down form the "mountain", a poverty and lawlessness ridden settlement, by Mr. Royal, a lonesome lawyer. We do not know why he has decided to bring her to his house, but now that she is a young attractive woman and his wife is dead, his view of Charity turns less patriarchal and more romantic. Charity, however, falls for a visiting young architect who visits to draw the old houses in the area. The plot centers about Charity's pride, loathing of North Dormer with its bigoted populace, and the not so golden cage of the aging Mr. Royal. The young man from New York represents everything North Dormer is not - class, wealth, breeding, style, freedom. I am not going to reveal the particulars of the plot because their discovery by the reader is important. Suffice it to say that Edith Wharton writes very very well. It is not "The Age of Innocence", the acerbic pinnacle of her writing, but her insight into Charity's brain and heart is uncanny. Not the best Wharton, but very good nevertheless Wrestling with fate toward redemption "Summer" is one of those books that you will think about for a long, long time. Set in the small village of North Dormer in New England, this story unfolds far from Wharton's more famous world of the Van der Luydens and the Mingotts. "Summer" has a little of the feel of "Ethan Frome", but is painted in brighter colors. Our protagonist Charity Royall is naive and unsophisticated, yet she can face facts and deal with the consequences of her actions. We feel as if the Fates have moved to New England and have woven for Charity on a future over which she has little control. The bright summer skies and flowers are overshadowed by the Mountain which broods in the distance, and the reader has a sense of foreboding about Charity's future as she develops her relationship with the sophisticated Lucius Harney. She yearns to develop herself to his level of social ability and breadth of knowledge, all the while knowing her limitations in breeding and background. The reader admires her despite her unattractive faults, such as her undervaluing of what her guardian has given her. Often she is cruel and thankless. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Love-of-Life-Audiobook/B002V0K3AO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He cuts hard into the words and leaves no room for doubt that this is a hard as nails loner in a hard as nails situation. Life on the edge. It was money well spent, a fab thing to spend an hour [ish] listening to. Full marks. Personally, in the writing, I would have come into land a little less steeply towards the end but maybe I missed the point of that.

While this is a good text of the original story By Poe, it is important to know that it is NOT "Annotated." While there is a separate book about Poe included with this, making well worth the price, the actual story is not annotated with additional information, references, and historical information usually found within an annotated work. It is well worth the price, but it is mislabeled as an annotated text. Almost seems you are there.... The very first sentence sucks you into the story. It is a short story of revenge. I honestly didn't find anything to dislike. A story of fiction but it does describe, in my opinion, the darkness of humanity. Most human beings would not dare act this story out. But I'm sure lots of us have imagine scenarios at one point in our lives where we would like to play it out in reality. This is an abridged recording, not unabridged as the description states. Very disappointed with this audio version. The sample recording sounded great, which is why I purchased it. The description says "unabridged" and it is not. There are parts missing making it hard for a student to follow along with the text. Hoping I can get a refund. Great job This is one of my favorite stories. The translation was great. I love the way the translations have hyperlinks. I think all dual language kindle books should be set up this way.

Members Reviews: Awful sound effects High pitched shrieking noises are so loud you can't hear the reader. gives me a headache. Awful to listen to. Good story I loved the story the sound effects took away from the story, they were too loud in some places and made it hard to hear the performance. "Sonic Movie" -- not a straight reading I use Audible books in tandem with Kindle primarily to regulate my reading speed and increase comprehension. If one were merely listening to this title, they would not notice where a few liberties are taken with the text -- some repetitions, additions (a passage from "My Love is a Red, Red Rose"), and some text is obscured by sound effects. If one were using this title for school, as I am, it could lead to a misquote or erroneously pointing out literary devices author Gilman didn't use. If listening to this title for pleasure, this version is fine. It would make an especially good Halloween listen. It was well-acted and the acting and sound/music heighten this creepy story. Just keep in mind that it is acted, rather than merely read like other Audible books. There isn't just a slight change of voice for characters, but actors, music, sound effects, creepy laughter, etc. I generally listen in the car, but this one has some surprise and loud sounds that might have startled me if I'd been driving. All in all, a good performance, you should just know what you're getting into. Not my favorite What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I could not listen to the whole thing! The story seem to be about an unending description of the wall paper on the bedroom wall. How did the narrator detract from the book? The attempt at sound effects to enhance the mood or experience of the story is so off the track and too loud at times you can barely hear the narrator. The recording quality is like it was recorded in a tin can. Any additional comments? I wish I could ask for a return. Only consolation I have is I purchased it at a sale price. Good story, Bad production This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? The story was really good, but the sound effects were sometimes louder than the narrator. I had the listen to it with the book to make sure I was hearing it correctly. That being said, the main narrator was really good. How could the performance have been better? The narrator was awesome. Her voice was great and I wish I could have heard more of it through the sound effects. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Irritation from the loud distracting noises while the narrator was speaking. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/To-Build-a-Fire-Audiobook/B00A26FLYW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 3 votos Categorías: Classics, American Literature Resumen del editor: Herman Melville (1819-1891)Novelista estadounidense y una de las principales figuras de la historia de la literatura. Su exploración de los temas psicológicos y metafísicos influyó en las preocupaciones literarias del siglo XX, a pesar de que sus obras permanecieron en el olvido hasta la década de 1920, cuando su genialidad recibió finalmente el reconocimiento que merecía. Melville nació en Nueva York, el 1 de agosto de 1819, en el seno de una familia en decadencia. En 1837 se embarcó rumbo a Liverpool. Al regresar a Estados Unidos trabajó como profesor. En 1841 viajó a los Mares del Sur, escapó en un mercante australiano y desembarcó en Papeete donde pasó algún tiempo en prisión. Viajó a Honolulú y se enroló en una fragata estadounidense. A partir de 1844 dejó de navegar y comenzó a escribir novelas basadas en sus experiencias como marino. En 1850 se radicó en Massachussetts, allí cultivó una íntima amistad con el escritor Nathaniel Hawthorne, al que dedicó su obra más famosa, "Moby Dick". Participó activamente en la vida literaria de Boston y Nueva York, ciudad que le vio morir el 28 de septiembre de 1891. Bartleby, el escribiente - Bartleby, un hombre discreto y apocado, es contratado por un abogado para trabajar como copista judicial. Pronto descubrirá que la actitud de Bartleby es extraña y sorprendente. Con serenidad y educación se niega a realizar las tareas que le encomiendan: "Preferiría no hacerlo", esa es su respuesta. Bartleby ha perdido toda motivación y apetencia hacia la vida, no hay nada que desee hacer. Afronta los días impasible, aletargado, en silencio. El abogado, que se debate entre la compasión y la irritación, busca una respuesta al porqué de su comportamiento. ¿Cuál será el misterio de su mísera existencia?

Unfortunately, the reader's poor performance is a serious stumbling block to enjoyment. James is not an easy writer to perform, and Flo Gibson is clearly not up to the task.

Members Reviews: The story itself is a classic and will be well-enjoyed ... The story itself is a classic and will be well-enjoyed by most readers. The low rating is because this edition is incredibly difficult to cite for academic purposes. No information about the publisher is readily available. Strongly caution anyone who doesn't want a headache citing this book to pick up a different copy. Kindle edition = no 1) This is not "annotated," unless you define "annotated" as "includes a brief biography for padding and it's still just 26 pages." I expected information regarding "War Prayer" specifically, that being my definition of "annotated." 2) The "War Prayer" itself can be found in my complete Mark Twain, which goes for the same 99 cents that "War Prayer"alone does. I was lured in by the "annotated," but I am now returning this Kindle book. A lesson all should learn People should realize that upon wishing for victory, they also will the demise of their foes and even those who aren't belligerent. People should realize that they are not the most high and exalted that they should wish for something like this. As relevant today as it was a century ago. The War Prayer has long been one of my favorite short stories. A truly thought provoking tale. I recommend this to everyone, especially those in the US.

Members Reviews: Clever tale Always reading the original "Mark Twain" sans editing (because the searing humor is intact), this tale is a good one, but not at the humor level of other works such as "Innocents Abroad". It's also a relatively brief story, but will keep the reader intrigued and it has a couple of surprise twists to catch the unwary. Bad formatting makes it nearly illegible This appears to be a hastily-done OCR scan of a print book. It's full of garbage characters and unexpected linebreaks that make it difficult to read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Edith-Wharton-on-Audio-Vol-1-Audiobook/B003VZJRY6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Edith Wharton on Audio, Vol. 1 Subtitle: The Last Asset, Autre Temps, Expiation Author: Edith Wharton Narrator: Jonathan Epstein, Tod Randolph, Tara Franklin Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-10 Publisher: BMA Audio The Mount Press Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Edith Wharton on Audio, Vol. 1 contains a few of the many short stories she composed during her stay at The Mount from 1902 to 1911. The stories delve deeply into the issues she was most concerned with at the time namely the paradox of balancing a life of integrity with the required compromises of conforming to a newly formed society. The Gilded Age brought with it new rules and regulations and the values therein often clashed with the ones of the more noble European aristocracy of Ediths background. In "The Last Asset", Wharton is at her best, depicting a social climbing mother who commissions a young journalist to retrieve her estranged husband from obscurity in order to present a facade of respectability for her daughter's immanent marriage. "Autre Temps" follows the travails of a divorced mother re-entering society after being cut from various New England social circles for the purpose of supporting her daughter's marriage. Her underestimating of the mechanistic conformity of society leads her to an ironic fate. In "Expiation", one of Wharton's funniest satires, "a bishop and his niece conspire to earn each other's fortunes, she by writing a mildly scandalous book, he by denouncing it from the pulpit; the book's title is that of Edith's adolescent melodrama,Fast and Loose." (from Edith Wharton: A Biography, by R.W.B. Lewis) Critic Reviews: "A social climber hires a reporter to rehabilitate her reclusive estranged husbands reputation; a divorcée tries to reenter New England society for the sake of her daughters impending nuptials; an aspiring writer and her clergyman uncle conspire to gain notoriety by her writing a scandalous book that he condemns from the pulpit. At first, these three stories of high-society misdeeds in the Gilded Age may strike the uninitiated as no longer relevant. But Whartons psychological insight, her apt humor, and especially the sheer patrician beauty of her writing transcend the quotidian references of their time. Of the three intelligent and expressive narrators heard in this volume, Tod Randolph stands out for her adroit and mellifluous delivery of the authors artistic and thematic values."

Members Reviews: the author is writing about a misogynistic individual living in Paris during the depression and he does it with rawness and some Wow! What a controversial book. I can see why it was banned and why so many opinions are polarized in the ratings. First of all, I have to warn anyone who is thinking about reading this that there is a lot of crude language and blatant description of sex. That didn't bother me. What I did have trouble with was the misogynistic attitude of the main character, who often simply refers to women using the C word and treats them as objects rather than human beings. That said, the author is writing about a misogynistic individual living in Paris during the depression and he does it with rawness and some beautifully written passages. Anyone reading this book needs to bear in mind that our culture is very different now. I think that reading this with a group who has a knowledgeable leader or using a reading guide is your best bet if you really want to get something out of it. There's a lot of meat to this book - if you can get underneath the layer of crudeness. It's a stream of consciousness piece about life and what it truly means to be happy, and the author shows us that it doesn't necessarily involve being wealthy. Who should read this: Fans of authors such as Bukowski and Hemingway. Who should not read this: Anyone who is squeamish or easily offended. Five Stars Genius good good Great book, worth every penny! i love Henry Miller. he has opened up a whole new world of reading for me. i highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious about what Miller is all about. Five Stars Miller was the best. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Yellow-Wallpaper-Audiobook/B06ZZ2311Z Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Moving and Disturbing Thematically remarkable for a short story of that time from a female author. Gilman ratchets up the tension of a woman's psychological decline while simultaneously making a pointed critique of the era. It manages to be eerier than much of Poe without ratcheting up the Gothic tendencies of similar stories of psychological decline. A Must-Read for Fans of Gothic Fiction In "The Yellow Wallpaper", Charlotte Perkins Gilman explores the rest cure through a story in which her unreliable narrator slowly unravels like the wallpaper on which she fixates. The tale begins with the narrator entering a gothic manse fallen on hard times as part of her physician husband John's prescription, "absolutely forbidden to 'work' until" she is well (pg. 3). Locked in a room with only the curling patterns on yellow wallpaper to occupy herself, she slowly begins imagining that they move and ascribing personalities to the patterns. The narrator looks out the window and offers insight into her life, but this fades as the wallpaper comes to dominate her world, until she must climb inside it. The story offers useful historical insight into the rest cure while also serving as a good example of nineteenth century gothic fiction. The Yellow Wallpaper I have seen the movie and read the short story and will admit that I am still confused as to the ending. I suppose that the observer/reader must come to his or her supposition as to the outcome. However, this story does stir the imagination to form different ideas about what happens. I do feel certain that the woman is stifled by her husband in her life. I feel that she is imaginative and perceptive, where he is level-headed and not given to believing anything that can't be proven to his satisfaction. and that, I think makes all the difference as to the ending. I suggest seeing the movie and reading the story to reach a possible scenario to conclude this imaginative tale. Stories by an early feminist After enjoying âHerlandâ by this early feminist, I was anxious to read more. I bought a softcover edition which at 70 pages contains seven short stories written in the early 1900s. These stories depict very different times for women who were often subject to the decisions made by the men in their lives. "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a chilling short story that shows the consequences of this type of situation. All the stories are very well written and enjoyable. Itâs hard to imagine such a repressive time. Itâs sad what so many women had to endure and Iâm very grateful for early feminists such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman who dared to voice her opinions in a public way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Haunted-Island-Audiobook/B00N59TYMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ghost story at its finest Every article on ghost stories that I read last week suggested this story. It is indeed a triumph of the subtle style of storytelling that this art demands. Truly an exemplar! Powerful Reading of a Wonderful Story Where does The Yellow Wallpaper rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is one of the best audiobooks I have heard. I love this story so much and Ms. Morsey is such an excellent storyteller! What other book might you compare The Yellow Wallpaper to and why? The Yellow Wallpaper is such a unique little story. I guess I would compare it to the Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston. I make that comparison not only because both pieces are wonderful examples of feminist literature but because of the isolation of the women in both stories. Both works are difficult to categorize due to the autobiographical nature -- Gilman's idea for the story was born out of her experiences as a patient, and Kingston's unique blend of autobiography, folklore and mutli-person narrative. Both are powerful feminist pieces to study. What does Sara Morsey bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Ms. Morsey brings a depth to the story that was hauntingly beautiful. The woman is so vulnerable and that is portrayed beautifully through inflection and nuance.

Title: The Cask of Amontillado Subtitle: A 3D Horror-fi Production Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: Andrew Ward, Adam Cole Format: Unabridged Length: 23 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-10 Publisher: 3D Horrorfi Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: 'The Cask of Amontillado' is Edgar Allan Poes short but enigmatic masterpiece. Set in an unnamed Italian City we hear the story of how Montresor lures Fortunato through the catacombs into the Montresor family vault and there chains him up and bricks him in for eternity. Why he does it we will never know, but he does so with a casual savagery that is truly chilling. "Cask' was recorded on location in ancient vaults. Every footstep and cough, every brick and every echo are captured and you will never forget hearing the final, faraway declamation: 'In pace requiescat' Pull on your headphones and Horror-Fi yourself. 'Revolutionise' is an often overused word; however this is what Horror-Fi achieve with their new recording technology/process for recording audio drama. Horror-Fis highly innovative production technique allows you the listener to immerse your aural senses in the very heart of the drama. Listen through head phones and experience the ultra vivid world the 3D Audio recording technique creates inside your mind. Critic Reviews: "Have just listened to cask late at night with earphones! Can I say I thought this was tremendous, A real quantum leap forward. I know my Poe and I can't remember hearing a better audio adaptation of his work: Your Montressor is a terrific actor and, of course I was hugely impressed by the way the echoey vaults acoustic serves the drama." (Marty Ross) "This is another type of experience, another level for audio drama, I have listened to plenty of excellent audio drama by the BBC but Horror-fi makes audio drama even better."

While there is a separate book about Poe included with this, making well worth the price, the actual story is not annotated with additional information, references, and historical information usually found within an annotated work. It is well worth the price, but it is mislabeled as an annotated text. Almost seems you are there.... The very first sentence sucks you into the story. It is a short story of revenge. I honestly didn't find anything to dislike. A story of fiction but it does describe, in my opinion, the darkness of humanity. Most human beings would not dare act this story out. But I'm sure lots of us have imagine scenarios at one point in our lives where we would like to play it out in reality. This is an abridged recording, not unabridged as the description states. Very disappointed with this audio version. The sample recording sounded great, which is why I purchased it. The description says "unabridged" and it is not. There are parts missing making it hard for a student to follow along with the text. Hoping I can get a refund. Great job This is one of my favorite stories. The translation was great. I love the way the translations have hyperlinks. I think all dual language kindle books should be set up this way.

There, he falls in love with the daughter of wealthy farmer Van Tassel. But he must compete with the much admired, waggish ruffian Brom Bones, whom he encounters - with absolute terror and belief - in the guise of the much storied and feared specter... The Headless Horseman. Editorial Reviews: In Washington Irving's classic ghost tale first published in 1820, the superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane moves to small, isolated, and haunted Sleepy Hollow, where he competes with a local ruffian for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy farmer. Until, one night, riding alone, Crane encounters a cloaked rider whose head is not on his shoulders, but in his saddle - the feared specter of the Headless Horseman.

Members Reviews: It's October do you know where your head is? This is not the Disney short. It is narrated quit well while not being "performed". The tail is a classic for a reason. I needed to concentrate a bit more than normal in order to follow the story. I haven't checked out any of the performed versions. And if you are listening in a car full of kids you may want to consider a different version. Finally the truth I've seen many movies and many adaptations of this story however I never knew the truth until now. From Disney in the 1950 through today everyone has put a spin on this story and now I can see why they have so much fun with it. This story goes beyond simply a ghost story. It's a love story that has a predictable ending when concerning people willing to do whatever they can to win the love they think they deserve. Read this story if you want to know the truth. A classic poorly read A famous short story, part of a larger work, The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. The narration sounded very amateurish. Even the small print read at the beginning was read as though the narrator was trying to make it sound interesting. I recommend purchasing the version narrated by Anthony Heald. A Classic I greatly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The narration was very good. This story is one of the all time classics and is a great listen for those who enjoy these type of stories during the month of October. Withstanding the test of time A great piece of literature that was first introduced to me a young child, this story certainly withstands the test of time. I loved it back then as a short story and still enjoy it now as a much older adult... No doubt it, this story has been around for years and will remain to be around for years to come. As for the narration, this narrator does a great job and his graspy voice is perfect for this ghostly reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Los-Crimenes-de-la-Calle-Morgue-Texto-Completo-The-Murders-in-the-Rue-Morgue-Audiobook/B002V5A502 Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> Título: Los Crimenes de la Calle Morgue (Texto Completo) [The Murders in the Rue Morgue ] Autor: Edgar Allan Poe Narrador: Gabi Pareja Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 35 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 05-21-08 Editor: Audio Libro CD Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 9 votos Categorías: Classics, American Literature Resumen del editor: "El apartamento estaba terriblemente desordenado, con los muebles rotos y tirados en todas direcciones.

Members Reviews: Makes me think of Romans 7:21 Short engaging horror story. Can be read in one sitting, in about a half-an-hour. Favorite quotes include: "But my disease grew upon me - for what disease is like Alcohol!" (7) "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul." (2) "The guilt of my dark deed disturbed me but little. ... I determined to wall it up ... I soundly and tranquilly slept; aye, slept even with the burden of murder upon my soul!" (27, 24) "Have we not a perpetual inclination, in the teeth of our best judgment, to violate that which is Law, merely because we understand it to be such? This spirit of perverseness ... Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not?" (10) This last passage, and indeed the theme of the story, makes me think of some famous Scriptures: "I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. ... What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" -Romans 7:21,24,25 (New International Version) Despite being a tortured soul, as another reviewer points out, Poe is said to have found comfort towards the end of his life by a more forceful embrace of Catholicism. The Combination Of The Most Perverse Conduct Described By Great Writing Edgar Allen Poe is a great talent. According to my studies, he may have been a tortured sole. This personal anguish, combined with great talent as a writer produced some of the greatest and most shocking writing of Mr. Poe's time. There may be no better example of this than this short story. I am not sure I would have had the courage to put this story into words if I had been the author. As a student, not a scholar, of literature, I had always tried to figure out why I like Edgar Allen Poe so much. His style had always seemed unique to me. Then I read "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley". This work precedes that of Poe and really reminds me of Poe so much, that I cannot help but wonder if Edgar Allan Poe may have been inspired in part by Mary Shelley. No one has ever suggested that to me and I have never read that. It is just a feeling that I have. As far as this audiobook is concerned, the narration is faithful to the short story. The narrator is female. She is excellent. I also have a narration that is done by a male, Bob Thomley. I did find that narration more chilling. Thank You... What can I say, I love this story Anyone who reads knows the superb works of this author, Edgar Allen Poe. In this story, The Black Cat a guilt-ridden man is driven to a level of madness by the terrible acts he commits. The man and his wife have a cat named Pluto. The man and the cat have a loving friendship lasts for several years. That is un home intoxicated one night and believes the cat is dodging him. He tries to pick the cat up only to be bit causing him to lose his logical side and turns to a fit of rage. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Triumph-of-Night-Audiobook/B002V8MT1M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

At the length of an hour, it is well worth the $3 cost (think: Happy Meal for the brain). Terrible editing ruined a fair story The editing is so choppy that phrases are repeated in two or three instances. The story feels rushed as the reader flies past punctuation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Cask-of-Amontillado-Audiobook/B0764GNDTJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have always loved this classic, it starts off so creepy, you can just imagine being the person in the story, and then the tale turns - but you will have to listen to it to tell what it is. What did you like best about this story? The way the story evolves. What does Phillip J. Mather bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Phillip has a wonderful voice for narrating and brings this story wonderfully to life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Tales-of-Murder-and-Mayhem-Audiobook/B00TU888OI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Vocal quality The narrators vocal quality ( or choice? of narration voice - this could be a character choice) is odd enough, coupled with insufficient preparation and thus mishandling of the material and so as to make the stories unlistenable. Great Stories; So-So Reader First off, I am a huge fan of the Weird Tales and Horror genres that started in the latter part of the Nineteenth Century, and Ambrose Bierce's stories are some of the best in both categories. However, I found that while an able reader, Flo Gibson wasn't up to the task of evoking the stories ambiance(s). She has a good voice, and likely would do well with other books, just not in stories such as these, or in the two above mentioned genres, especially since so many are written in the first person, and the teller of the tale is male. However, that aside, I loved this audio book version of some of my favorite tales. As a predecessor of such greats as Howard and the giant himself, Lovecraft, Bierce is fantastic at both storytelling and at invoking both horror and the Weird feelings that the former two would become so well known for doing in their tales. Anyone who loves the Weird Tales from the 1920's - 1930's (and that continue still, such as by Stross) should get this book. My one great disappointment with this book, though, is that one of Bierce's finest (possibly the finest) "Weird Tale" was left out - his "That Damned Thing". Off-hand I don't recall which one, bit one of the nine Doug Bradley's (yes, Pinhead) "Spine Chillers" anthologies has the story. I highly recommend both the series, and the volume that contains this story. All in all, a good solid book of Bierce's horror work. He has many more stories in this genre, but those selected are some of his best. Perhaps one day Audible.com will come out with a comprehensive anthology of all his Horror stories, and should they, I will be the first to buy it. Great stories but narrator speaks to fast. I love the stories but I had to slow the speed on the narrative in order to make out what was being said. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Cask-of-Amontillado-Audiobook/B002VA8G26 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Carnival, where an expensive wine is used to seduce an enemy and weave an unforgettable story about hate and intolerance that is as current today as it was during Poe's time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Newspaper-Story-Audiobook/B0754NGKNZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. This volume includes "Philosophy of Furniture", "The Sphinx", "Hop-Frog", "The Man of the Crowd", "Never Bet the Devil Your Head", "Thou Art the Man", "Why the Little Frenchman Wears his Hand in a Sling", and "Some Words with a Mummy". Editorial Reviews: Edgar Allen Poes poems and stories of horror and mystery blend wit with the macabre. His inventive narratives and erudite use of language have delighted countless fans since his career was tragically short in the early 19th century. Here is a selection of works from one of the most admired and entertaining American intellects. Volume 5 is performed by Scott Woodside, whose rich, throaty voice rolls over Poes lyrical, stylized language and who makes a noble effort at the hilarious Why the Little Frenchman Wears His Hand in a Sling, written phonetically in a thick Irish brogue. Among the other selections in this volume are stories approaching detective fiction, an essay on interior decorating, and satires digging at transcendentalists, popular sciences and people of Poes time. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edgar Allan Poe) Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:37:01 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Works-of-Edgar-Allan-Poe-Volume-5-Audiobook/B0076ANXEM thebookvoice.com 04:33:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Who doesn't love Edgar Allan Poe! I don't like to write too much in book reviews because I feel that in order to adequately write a review, I would have to give away information that would be key to plot. I don't like to be the person to give away spoilers. Therefore my book reviews are always very short and only say a few things in order to tell you, book reviews are much to subjective and I never read a book review before I read a book. I read a book based on what the book is about which I don't read a review to get. If you want more information, buy the book and read it. :) Enjoyed many of the stories and essays, but it left out the poems that were cited Some great short stories and interesting essays mixed in with some pieces that were difficult to understand. My main beef was that the essays about poetry left out practically all the passages from the poems that Poe was discussing. However, there's a separate volume I finished after reading this one that has all of Poe's poems, plus his critical essays about poetry. That volume included the same essays as this one, but with the poetic passages he cites intact. However, there were some problems with that volume too, where the bottoms of some of the pages were cut off. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Upper-Berth-Audiobook/B002V5A00M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nautical Ghost Story-dun right If you could sum up The Upper Berth in three words, what would they be? Classic ocean ghost. Who was your favorite character and why? The doctor, for his almost cynical certainty. Have you listened to any of Jack Bensons other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't listened to any other works read by him. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The spook factor here was delightful and chilling, in the classic, good old british ghost story way. I liked the odd familiarity developed by the crew with the patterns of the apparition. The opening periods were just delightfully familiar in their Jamesian comedy. Any additional comments? I wanted a nice spooky sea-faring yarn.

Members Reviews: Can't imagine a more enjoyable James I'm far from a Henry James fan, and friends who claim (or let's be honest, boast) that they read him for enjoyment have always struck me as liars; even his much revered "Turn of the Screw" seems absurdly overrated. But "The Aspern Papers" is sort of fun, especially if you've ever dreamed of discovering some unknown literary manuscript by a writer you idolize. It's also genuinely suspenseful and -- thanks to its secluded, decaying Venetian setting -- richly atmospheric. All of which makes it the only James I've read that I actually liked. (P.S. One thing that bothered me, this time around, was wondering where and how the three main characters got their meals. Like a lot of mundane details, it's left unexplained.) Robin Field's performance is practically flawless (i.e., I think it was literally twice, in this entire novella, that I felt he'd emphasized the wrong word in a sentence). He's come up with precisely the right voice and accent for the narrator -- snobby, fussy, sensitive, a bit precious, slightly quavering, definitely low on testosterone -- and is especially skillful in his renditions of the two female characters; one of them is very old, and Field gets her cracked voice perfectly, never overdoing it, never making us wince. His brilliant reading really pulled me out of modern-day Manhattan (even its subways) and made for an extremely pleasant four hours. Highly recommended Great story and great narration. James' sensitivity to the subtle shifts in his characters' motivations and emotions is apparent on every page. A wonderful book, with an ending that manages the very-Jamesian trick of being genuinely dramatic without ever for a moment straining credibility. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Mrs-Podgers-Teapot-Audiobook/B076HC6ZKD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He has the ability to put you there with his vivid descriptions. I have not been to the north rim of the Grand Canyon until I read this book. The characters, mainly Mormons, who save the life of a young lunger. The family also has a half Navajo woman they raised. a worthless son who goes against his family and and assortment of rustlers with a couple of these guys who still have some morals. It is the usual story of greed. There is a wild stallion, a part wolf dog and a droopy eared burro who contribute to the story.. The Navajos are portrayed in a positive way and good since I have enjoyed interacting with them in the past. Overall it is a good read. another rich desert classic Yes, Zane Gray had a formula that many of his books follow. But his love of the west and understanding of it's essence shines through. The intelligence insight and beauty of his descriptions alone are worth the reading. Just as the same sun and moon can always provide new inspiration his novels always bring me back to the desert west and it's vastness. Recommended. As expected from Zane Nothing but the best of western tales could come from the pen of Zane Grey. He was a master of the western genre and his glory days of western life is told here. If you're a fan of the western genre have a look at anthonydunphyfineart.com and you can see them all in their element. Not exactly up to modern standards as a good book. I'm skipping over a lot of descriptions ... Reading this because I'm reading the biography of Zane Grey. Not exactly up to modern standards as a good book. I'm skipping over a lot of descriptions and boggling over the "period" cultural depictions. I've always loved Zane Gray I read this book the first time 60 yrs ago. This is probably the third or fourth time and I still love Zane Gray's way of describing my Arizona. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Eves-Diary-Audiobook/B00QFW3MCA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very Touching This is the companion to Extracts from Adam's Diary. Although the tone of this story is quite different that Adam's Diary in that it is not overtly humorous, it is still a worthwhile read. The two stories together poke fun at the differences between the sexes. This one, being from the female perspective, is a little more introspective and emotional, but nonetheless still humorous when comparing how the two genders completely misinterpret each others actions and can witness the same event and come up with two different versions of what happened. Yet despite these seemingly irreconcilable differences, the two still come to love and depend on each other. I do recommend reading Adam's Diary first, otherwise the end of Eve's Diary has little meaning. I actually teared up on reading it. A Fun Short Story Mark Twain was a great author and had a unique way of looking at the world. He brought that uniqueness to his stories, of which this is only one. Written in the same first-person style as Letters from the Earth, it is fun to read and speculate if the story were close to being true. My only issue is that it ends too quickly. Eve's Diary: Mark Twain's tiny masterpiece, banned no longer Only someone with such a splendid sense of humor and a joy for life as Mark Twain could have pulled this off... but there's a story behind the story, and another one beyond that, so read on. Eve's Diaryis an entertaining, truly delightful piece written in the style of a diary kept by the first woman, Eve. This Kindle version has all of the illustrations that were done by Lester Ralph. Originally published in the 1905 Christmas issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, it was popular enough to be subsequently published in book format in June 1906 by the Harper & Brothers publishing house. You'll see the red cover of that first edition posted by this reviewer in the images here. Mark Twain was 70 at the time of the initial publication of this story, and his works in his later years were inclined to be somewhat critical and even vitriolic. But this little story was warm, heartfelt, and emotional. He had suffered the loss of his much-loved wife Livy in 1904, and it's clear that he had reflected on his married existence in Eve's Diary as his own private Eden with Livy. Through his words we see the `first woman' to be more open, candid and seemingly smarter than her companion, and his life was all the better for her being there. Mark Twain wrote the story in the style of a diary kept by Eve, the first woman in the Judeo-Christian creation. It's claimed by the author to have been "translated from the original MS." The storyline of Twain's novel is the first-person account of Eve from her creation up to her burial by her mate, Adam, including meeting and getting to know him, and exploring the world around her, the Garden of Eden. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Outcasts-of-Poker-Flat-Audiobook/B00NLMNUA6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is an enjoyable read. I was not not greatly impressed with the style of writing and the characterization, but I was not displeased either. Would I suggest anyone read it? No, if you are looking for a great western. Yes, if you are looking for a different kind of western and looking to add to your wealth of knowledge in western romance and literature, then I say "Yes'. amazing This story was sweet and sad and surprising and I thought about itgreat days later. Other stories by this gentleman were also great. Its free and good. So give it a try. Four Stars Satisfied Get it from the library or online for free The story is a quick read, but the book format is not cost effective! It is 26 pages in very large font. In 16 font it is only 11 pages. A GREAT AMERICAN CLASSIC The cover blurb describes Bret Harte as "the creator of the Western story." This may be true, but it is praise that undersells the quality of Harte's writing. While these stories contain many of the clichés to be found in typical Westerns - stage coach robberies, hangings, and slick, handsome gamblers - these are not escapist stories, but admirable studies of men and women subjected to frontier isolation and harsh conditions. They are easily comparable to the stories of Jack London, and a few of them even to John Steinbeck. If his other books are equal in quality to this selection, Harte certainly deserves to be more widely read. I remember that "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" was included in one of my high school literature anthologies, but I think that it was one that we did not read, probably because there is a prostitute in it. A common theme of many of these stories is how deeply these frontiersmen respond to innocence, whether in the form of young love or a newborn child. These are stories that will stay with you for a long time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Big-Trip-Up-Yonder-Audiobook/B00EPN2FWE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 2158 A.D., Alden Village, New York City, Connecticut... "If it was good enough for your grandfather, forget it ... it is much too good for anyone else!" So begins Kurt Vonnegut's short storyThe Big Trip Up Yonder, a tale set in 2158 A.D. Gramps Ford and his rather large family are all cooped together in their rundown home at "Building 257 of Alden Village, New York City, Connecticut," and Gramps is regularly cutting members of his family who misbehave out of his last will and testament. While he and his substantial family are watching their five-foot TV screen, Gramps Ford has issued his prophetic warning shot across the bow: "Silence!" cried Gramps. "Next one shoots off his big bazoo while the TV's on is gonna find hisself cut off without a dollar--" his voice suddenly softened and sweetened--"when they wave that checkered flag at the Indianapolis Speedway, and old Gramps gets ready for the Big Trip Up Yonder." The drug called anti-gerasone had been discovered, a blend of dandelions and mud that halts the aging process, and it allows people to unnaturally control when death from old age occurs. As a result, America suffers from a severe case of over-population, which has led to shortages of many things we take for granted, including gasoline, metals, and most importantly, food. Gramps had already reached 70 when anti-gerasone had been invented, and had not aged a day in the 102 years that followed. And Gramps has just written his grandson Lou out of his will, substituting Willy, Lou's father, substituting his son "as heir to the apartment, and the biggest plum of all, the double bed in the private bedroom." One family member, Morty takes matters into his own hands and pours half of Gramps' anti-gerasone drug down the drain. Lou catches Morty and proceeds to fill the bottle up again. There's a series of unfortunate events, the bottle cracks and Gramps, believing Lou was trying to kill him, flees the home. Complete chaos ensues, and... you'll just have to read this short Kindle freebie to see what happens next. Is this Vonnegut's best work? Absolutely not: in this reader's opinion, you'll have to read the author'sSlaughterhouse Fiveto get that. But it's a good early work that actually dates back to the '50s, when it was originally published in the Galaxy science fiction magazine. kurt, yup. a good short one when you do not have a lot of time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Great-American-Stories-II-Audiobook/B006YCNN8Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The two stories I liked in this collection was Paul's case by Willa Cather and A Retrieved Reformation by O. Henry are deffinatly worth knowing, since their characters with stay with you long after you are done, and you find yourself wondering what came of them since. But else, these stories are at best mediocre. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Los-crimenes-de-la-calle-Morgue-The-Murders-in-the-Rue-Morgue-Audiobook/B004M6BD2C Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> Título: Los crímenes de la calle Morgue [The Murders in the Rue Morgue] Autor: Edgar Allan Poe Narrador: José Manuel Cortizas Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 36 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 02-04-11 Editor: NEAR, S.A.

While boxing is a key part of the story in which London describes the fighter's love of the boxing "game" and his fiancee's belief that she is at odds with his intense love of boxing, you could substitute other activities a young man is drawn to: football, baseball, chemistry, horses, etc. with the same type of complex challenge. However, in this case he is involved with a sport that is potentially deadly. I could kind of see the inevitable ending, but hoped London would take another route in which the boy would have to make a conscious choice between his game and his love. But, London being London this story was true to his style as exhibited in other works. Of course, this is a very quick read, flawlessly written and would appeal to a very wide range of readers. The Boxer and the Sales Girl I am always looking for short stories. At first when I saw this was Jack London, I thought it would be all he manly stuff. While much of it is, it is also the love story of two people who didn't know they were looking for love. The story is written in an older style which makes it acceptable for anyone to read. This story is about Joe courting Genevieve and Genevieve trying to understand his passion for boxing. Joe is a boxer, one of the best who uses his winnings to support his family. Genevieve is an orphan who works in a candy shop. When they meet it is Kismet. While astonishing the neighbors at such a strange match, they plan a future together. To reach that future Joe has to lay everything on the line and fight Ponta. This fight is fairly graphic in detail. The story is filled with passion not only between Joe and Genevieve, but also the passion for boxing that Joe has. I highly recommend anyone to read this book. Great Short Story This was an outstanding short story. It is about two young people who fall in love with one another. They are both ordinary, but the young man is a prize fighter and would do anything for his woman. The story is so short, if I said anymore, it would ruin it. It's fairly slow at first, but the pace of the story increases with every page. Aha, Got me! Aha, Got me! Didn't see that ending coming. Jack London has an amazing insight into the nitty gritty of life that most of us never experienced. The story sucks you in to thinking that you know what is going to happen. But it doesn't. He paints a picture of characters that makes you begin to take sides in a story and keeps you reading. And then he reminds you that life is what it is, not always what you wanted it to be. Weird Ending I thought it was so-so. The ending was pretty abrupt and left me wondering 'what the heck' - but not in a good way. There are lots of better books out there to pass the time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Story-of-Keesh-Audiobook/B002VACFKK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

"The Story of Keesh" is no exception, with its daring namesake protagonist, the teenaged son of a legendary, but deceased, Eskimo huntsman. The 13-year-old Keesh decides to follow his fathers footsteps, delivering a copious bounty of meat for his hungry tribespeople. The diminutive Keesh arouses suspicions from tribal elders, who accuse the young boy - surely incapable of such hunting prowess - of witchcraft. Performer Jim Roberts simple but fluid efficiency matches the spartan landscape and tribal justice that defines Keeshs polar plight. Ultimately, Keesh must convince his elders that when it comes to the hunt, the mind is a weapon no less powerful than the spear. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack London) Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:25:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Story-of-Keesh-Audiobook/B002VACFKK thebookvoice.com 00:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A Wagner Matinee Author: Willa Cather Narrator: Walter Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 19 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-07 Publisher: Jimcin Recordings Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Willa Cather is considered to be one of the best chroniclers of pioneer life in the 20th century. She had a long and distinguished career writing essays, poems, short stories, and novels. This story is a powerful example of a frequent theme: the haunting, sometimes painful, contrast between city and country life. Editorial Reviews: "Dont love it so well, Clark, or it may be taken from you." Willa Cather, the great pioneer writer of the first half of the 20th century, puts those words into the mouth of one of her earliest creations: a homesteading woman in 1890s Nebraska. Performed in a simple, slow pace by Walter Zimmerman, the short story "A Wagner Matinee" reveals this homesteader, Georgiana, through the eyes of Clark, a self-described former "gangling farmer-boy...with chilblains" who has left his Nebraskan home for the considerably more exciting Boston. As the high music of Wagner contrasts with the cold and desolate American plains, the listener is introduced to a woman of hard determination, stoic acceptance, and a great capacity for human feeling. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Willa Cather) Fri, 15 Jun 2007 03:42:51 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Wagner-Matinee-Audiobook/B002V8MT76 thebookvoice.com 00:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Visions of the Disney Cartoon So many years ago, and so many times have I watched Walt Disney's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." It is hard to tell if the cartoon was taken from the story or the story from the cartoon. The visions of the animated version never left my mind as I read this wonderful and deeply descriptive short story for the very first time just tonight. What a great tale! Love this story! One of my favorite tales! Love Irving's detail! You can see and feel it! The wording could trip up young readers, but what a wonderful opportunity to increase vocabulary! Rather dry read. THE story was very detailed including "old" English words and phrases. It was difficult to get through quickly, but as a read aloud to a classroom, I think that it would work. I wouldn't read aloud more than one chapter/section at a time. For better understanding of the story, many passages would need to be explained and put into today's terminology. Spooky I had never actually read this story and I love the creepy haunted vibe Irving projects in the story and makes the whole haunting come alive so well. This old tale will never go out of favor. To read the original text of Washington Irving, lends a special tone to the story: Remembering that Ichabod Crane was a figment of the imagination more than one and one half centuries ago. To have sat with friends around a fire to keep warm, with little or no other light adds to the fright factor of this spooky tale. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Masque-of-the-Red-Death-Audiobook/B002V1ODD6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short, but filled with horror This rather short horror tale by the famed Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is free on Amazon and is worth reading, not only because of the price but the story is interesting though filled with horror. A movie that I haven't seen yet was made containing the film version of the tale. In the tale, a fatal pestilence is devastating the country. The Prince, apparently concerned about the lives of his upper class friends gathers a thousand of them to a lavishly adorned Abbey to escape the red death. (Red referring to the blood that flows from dying plague-infected people.) Outside was death, but inside the seven-chambered Abbey there was music, wine, dancing, and laughter. One night, the inhabitants noticed a new figure. Like the others the new comer was masked (masqued) for the celebration. But the newcomer frightened the others and they moved away. The prince, seeing their reaction, ordered his guests to unmask the newcomer, but all were afraid to approachâ. What happens next is typical Poe. A Classic A classic. It makes clear that no one escapes from all the problems of the world. Eventually, even if you lock yourself away, evil, and misfortune will find you.Required reading in High School. Personally, I am a fan of Poe, so I know I will be rereading other works of his. Great classic for my collection, and easily accessible from my Kindle library. Love this classic & it's great to have it readily on my Kindle so I can read it whenever I feel the inspiration. Please let me know if you found this review helpful. Not what expected. Quick publishing? This product is not what I was expecting but it is the story of the Masque of Red Death and the cover is quite beautiful. This book also included a couple of other stories as well which was a pleasant surprise. The font is large and easy to read. It includes some pictures likely found on an online search that somewhat pertain to the story. Overall, for the price and the fact you can find this story for free online it is a decent deal. Special effects When one speaks of special effects now we are usually referring to fx or visual, technological tricks. Poe uses only words to create his effects and they remain in your mind. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Open-Boat-Audiobook/B07751TSXH Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A vigorous storyteller Hemingway thought Crane was an example to young writers - and I thought that he meant exactly that, because Crane's prose certainly feels youthful: direct, energetic, deep and yet unpretentious. Just a very good storyteller. He died young, only 28, which is an immense pity, because a more mature Crane would be nothing less than legend. Superb writing!! I had to read this short story for an American Literature assignment, and was I astonished at the writing style of Crane. Describing the brutalities of the sea and the hardships of these four men is a true gift of this writer. I highly recommend! Read if you want to be moved I had to read this book for my Transatlantic Literature course and I am amazed at Crane's ability to use nature as not only a backdrop but the antagonist of the story. Love love love and highly recommend. Real writing I read in many different genres and when I read wonderfully written works, almost always written decades ago, the poor diction, grammar and editing in current writing is remarkable. The Open Boat is wonderfully written. Lifeboat A great survival at sea story. Crane himself tells about being w three others in a dinghy off the coast of Florida after their vessel, a steamboat, sinks. There's no exposition or background on anyone. It's very post-modern. Highly recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Hospital-Christmas-Audiobook/B076HCFN3P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good if you're into too-standard English This book is good as long as you're into too-standard, Shakespearian-like English where the humor is cloaked behind the carefully knitted, grammatically-intended sentences, a book suitable for an English teacher who desires rough words humor. Quite good to teach for a special class of students but not my idea of some before bed time laughter or fun. Nevertheless I must say that I exceptionally admired the sketch about Adam & Eve, a marvellous adorble one!

Children play at war. Men and children play at war until they meet war or war meets them, and they find that war is not a game; those who have seen, smelled, and tasted it do not glorify war. Ambrose Bierce participated in one of the bloodiest wars in American history, and though he survived, the war haunted him the rest of his life. Today we have a name for the demon that haunts many of those "more fortunate" who survive: post-traumatic stress disorder. In World War I and World War II they called it shell-shocked. The battle of Chickamauga was surpassed in casualties only by the battle of Gettysburg. Members Reviews: Interesting tie in to my recent battlefield visit. Had picked this up expecting a discussion of the Civil War battle but found instead it is a 12 page 99 cent short story written in 1889. Story is of a 6 year old boy lost in the woods after playing warrior with his wooden sword. Arises the next morning and sees men crawling through the woods. He climbs on the back of one to play "horsey" only to be tossed off and noticing the man is missing his lower jaw and bleeding profusely. The others are also badly wounded and attempting to crawl to safety. The boy then notices an orange glow in the distance and hears the sound of battle and off he heads in that direction. I will spare you the grim ending but note that Bierce is often reported as "Poe like" in his writing and is known for his disturbing realism. Loved it. Great history book Loved it. Great history book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Very-Best-of-Womens-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B00698OPUS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful I loved the short storeis and the the performance of the narrators ... there is something special when reading or listening to women's literary work ... just beware there is a narration of "Mrs. Dalloway" for Virginia Wolffe and it's the worst narrator i have ever heard ... i could hardly understand a word she said Total Frustration What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? If I had been able to download the books I ordered from my computer to my Kindle Fire and if I had gotten any response when I asked Audible for help What other book might you compare The Very Best of Women's Short Stories to and why? I'd compare it to What three words best describe Emma Toppings voice? Narrator's voice is excellent What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? The book itself is fine--it's Audible that has me pulling my hair out Any additional comments? YES!

Members Reviews: Good Stuff Typical and very good London stories. Very well read. From someone who loves London For someone who thoroughly enjoys Jack London, I did not, whatsoever, enjoy this audio book. The narator ruined it completely by speedreading it.

Members Reviews: Not a good story book for children Iâve always loved different renditions of this story, but had never read the original. I bought for my kids for Christmas. This was a difficult book to read out loud for kids. The language and writing are definitely not of this age. I donât reccomend if youâre buying for children, but a nice book for a collection or something. A story of love and want. I love O'Henrys writing. If only I could tell a story so succinctly! The emotion of each character is laid out very simply yet clearly. That's what this story is about, emotion. Heartwarming We all know the story. 2 people in love without a penny doing a selfless act for each other at Christmas time. It's a must along with the Christmas Carol by Dickens. A good reminder what is really important A good quick story. Sometimes we forget about what is really important in this life. This is a good reminder of that. Beautiful short read You can read this in about 15 minutes. It's a beautiful story of sacrificial love. it's a free ebook! It's an excellent read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Fantastic-Tales-Audiobook/B01C8YZZVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Painful Listening ZERO star Performance What disappointed you about Fantastic Tales? The narrator delivers every sentence... In a relentless Captain Kirk-meets-sensationalist local newscaster style that is impossible to tolerate more than 5 minutes. Who was your favorite character and why? Couldn't say. I think the reason that no one has reviewed this audiobook is because they immediately returned it. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Cathy Dobson? Anyone. I would rather listen to 20+ hours of leaf blowers and barking Chihuahuas than another Cathy Dobson narration. Any additional comments? Audible, please rerecord these and other classics with a different narrator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Lost-in-a-Pyramid-Audiobook/B00HRH8YC0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Reminded me of the movie, The Mummy Fun and entertaining read and can be read in one sitting. A bit sophomoric stylistically but for a nice enjoyable summer beach read it is worth reading. Well Written and Entertaining This short horror story, written by Louisa May Alcott is about an Egyptologist and the love of his life and a mummy's curse. It has a strong Victorian feel to it. It's a short story so it doesn't get into the wonderful characterizations that Louisa May Alcott is so good at. The story is still well written and entertaining and you can see Louisa May Alcott's voice in it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Oblong-Box-Audiobook/B00CA5FIAU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Gold-Bug and Other Tales With Edgar Allen Poe, the subjects of death and decay are never long for which to wait; not particularly pleasant topics. And yet, no one else (in my opinion), handles these topics so deliciously! The title of this collection is The Gold-Bug and Other Tales, and it's the 'other tales' which are my favorites. I've always viewed Masque of the Red Death as prescient of the Ebola virus; however what this story is truly about is the futile attempt of an unnamed noble, and his entourage to escape the inevitability of death. They hole themselves up in the noble's castle, surrounding themselves with their opulence, rich food and wine and other amusements. Their attempt is to shut themselves off from a plague which is ravaging the countryside. Ironically, Poe was critiqued in his early writings of not demonstrating a cognizance of what was happening in society and the politics of the time. Yet here is Poe, recognizing the futility of the upper classes, (of which he was a member), in trying to escape the horrors of life with which people of the lower classes (such as slaves of his time), had to cope. Held to have been a racist and pro-slavery, he clearly seems to have recognized the plague sweeping the US,(slavery),and the inevitable impact it would have on the white upper classes. Whether one chooses to view this story as a metaphor for slave uprisings and the threat to the white upper class, or as a spark of conscience illustrating the retribution due a society, when those in power attempt to separate themselves from, and propagate the sufferings of those who are subjugated, the story is an entertaining and haunting read. The subject of conscience for misdeeds is further explored in The Tell Tale Heart, in which the narrator can't escape the 'lub-dub' of the beating heart which the narrator hid under the floor boards, after a committed murder. In Cask of Amontillado, it is the jingling of the bells on the hat of the hapless wine trader as he is buried behind a wall. The description of guilt and its total consumption of the guilty has never been so aptly described! I would recommend this collection to anyone who is interested in descriptive writing, Literature classes, and those who love gothic macabre. Great book at a great price Great book at a great price! I am passing through Charleston, SC soon and remembered that one of my childhood favorites "The Gold Bug" takes place on nearby Sullivan's Island. I thought it would be neat to reread this story and visit Sullivan's Island, which has become somewhat of a monument to Edgar Allan Poe. I look forward to checking out Poe's Cafe. Awesome for a little book Ok ok I will say the N word is used in this book making it a little cringe worthy, however one must remember the era in which it was written. Fabulous story. I had never read a Poe story thinking they were lame. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Louisa-May-Alcott-The-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B007UPU67U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A Dog's Tale Author: Mark Twain Narrator: David Ian Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 26 mins Language: English Release date: 09-10-10 Publisher: One Voice Recordings Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Mark Twain's story, told from the standpoint of a courageous and loving she-dog, was first published in 1903. The story, by turns both funny and heartbreaking, begins with a description of her life as a puppy. As she grows, she is sold, then takes a mate and has a puppy, and her master and mistress have their first child. Her motives are misunderstood when she saves their baby from a fire and she is cruelly beaten. The truth is soon discovered, however, and she becomes an adored and loved heroine to all those around her. But her master is a scientist and her puppy dies cruelly in a biological experiment. The ending is deeply moving and sad. Editorial Reviews: Though it's not a well-known fact, Mark Twain was a passionate believer in animal rights. In A Dog's Tale, his empathy for our furry companions comes to light. A warm narration from David Ian Davies brings humor and touching emotion to this story told from the perspective of a loyal, loving family dog from her puppyhood through adulthood. Listeners will be moved by the heartbreaking sadness the dog has to endure, from being beaten to a misunderstanding, to the sorrow of losing her puppy to a biological experiment conducted by her master, a scientist. While it still bears Twain's trademark wit, A Dog's Tale is deeply moral and affecting. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mark Twain) Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:42:17 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Dogs-Tale-Audiobook/B0042H6B50 thebookvoice.com 00:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Awful story, awful quality, riddled with typos The Dog's Tale story is sad and depressing, and about four pages long. The other story, Heaven or Hell, is weird and depressing. The entire 38 page book is riddled with typos. Waste of time. So Upsetting! This was not what I expected from a short story by Mark Twain. I HATED it! Very upsetting; and it made me cry. A great story about man's cruelty towards his dog Other reviewers have rated this poorly, and I want to correct that. The story is not a happy one, as most stories with pets are. This tale of a dog, who tries to do as his mother would do, saves the life of his master's baby and is abused by the father who is a scientist. The dog has a puppy of his own, and the puppy is used as an experimental dog by the scientist and put to sleep and buried. The dog, knowing that when you bury seeds they grow into something beautiful, hopes and waits for his baby's growing since the puppy too was buried in the soil. The tale itself is about the cruelty that man and science had towards dogs at the time, and it's not for the faint of heart. It's also a testament to Twain's writing that he can take the tale of inhumanity towards Man's best friend and spin it into a heartbreaking narrative. One of the great ones. . . Near the end of his life, Twain wrote stories that expressed his contempt for the cruelties, stupidities, and general brutishness of mankind. In this story, which goes well with The Mysterious Stranger, he contrasts man with dogs. Dogs have true morality and heroism, which doesn't stand a chance against man's "moral sense." The reader who sees Twain as a children's author will be horrified at much of his work. Twain's humor is seldom meant to be jolly or forgiving. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Letters-Audiobook/B002VA9Y4A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Satisfied I tore the copy my school gave me, but this came quickly and it was a really good price! great to reread and E-read for free Read long ago in hardcover, great to reread and E-read for free! Excellent I read this during a trip to the grand hotels along the Lake Geneva waterfront in Vevey and Montreux, Switzerland, where Henry James set this work. He is an exquisite portraitist, able to conjure up just the right collection of details, internal and external, to make the characters come alive, even though the world of manners, money, and rigid sexual morals has since become almost unrecognizable. The cruelty of social condemnation, especially of those trying to make it into the circle of the accepted wealthy, the urge to marry and marry well, has been the theme of so many works that it's amazing there is anything much at all original left to say. But James repeatedly surprises in this arena. Another unsatisfying ending from Henry James Now that I have read a handful of Henry James tomes I am beginning to believe that he is not the author for me. He writes well, and the story is interesting, but I am just getting tired of never having a satisfying ending to one of his stories. Perhaps he took a perverse pleasure in twists and turns of plot, especially at the end. If you want the standard formulaic happy ending, Henry James is not your author. I dont have a problem with an unexpected ending, but I get tired of never feeling satisfied by the "turn" of the story. Just my 2 cents. I'm not saying I will never read another Henry James novel, but probably not for a long time. in good just what I ordered, in good shape https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Daisy-Miller-Audiobook/B002V5BHEU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In this, one of Henry James's finest novels of manners and morals, he portrays with elegance and wit the clash between the different societies of Europe and America. The Europeans, so steeped in propriety and old world values, are inimical to the vibrant and often careless nature of the young American society. Daisy must not only discover these deep differences, but she must also learn to recognize the dangers of thwarting convention and tradition. Public Domain (P)1981 Recorded Books, Inc. Editorial Reviews: A common trope in Henry James work is of innocent Americans drawn to and corrupted by European decadence. One of James best-known examinations of this theme is found in his 1878 novella Daisy Miller. In Switzerland, the American title character, a headstrong but naïve girl, meets Frederick Winterbourne, a handsome and sophisticated American who is living abroad. Their potential romance is initially foiled by Winterbournes family. Later, when they meet again in Rome, Frederick is shocked by Daisys scandalous behavior with a notorious Italian man. Flo Gibsons performance of this psychologically astute story is both assertive and ironic. Critic Reviews: "Hearing Daisy Miller, listeners will recognize the tragic difficulties of youth, love, and tradition. Flo Gibson reads splendidly and portrays Daisy with requisite innocence and insolence." (Booklist) "Highly recommended...."

(School Library Journal) Members Reviews: low sound quality Listen to this story, but be sure to get one of the other versions available from Audible. This one is muffled, as though being spoken through a thick layer of cotton. Even at only two hours in length it is a chore to listen to. Very fulfilling novelette Daisy Miller is a great introduction, or reintroduction, to the writings of Henry James. It is short, relatively non-complex, and characterized by a beautiful style of writing & sweep of narrative. Like many Jamesian novels, at one level it is about the clash between the old world & the new, taking place on the stage of Europe with a caste of American characters. At another it is an intricate psychological love story/play among characters who don't express their feelings to one another in any direct fashion. If you like it, then you can go on to the longer & more complicated James novels. A couple of others are also available on Audible. The quality of the recording ... I am not sure whether it was the narrator herself or, more likely, the fact that the recording was originally in Format 1, isn't the best. Sometimes you have to wind the volume on the device near maximum to hear the highs-&-lows of what is being said. A small complaint, but alittle irritating anyway. That's the only reason I gave it only 4 stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Man-with-the-Gash-Audiobook/B002V5BFCY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I enjoyed the short stories. Manly, gold-rush stuff. Interesting but not great Interesting but not great. Bret Harte was no Mark Twain. Four Stars Good book! American Slave Narratives Great series! These Slave narratives fill in an important gap in American history. They help readers understand slavery in the United States from people who lived it or observed how it worked. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Stories-from-the-States-Audiobook/B076BXFQZ9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She really knows how to weave a beautiful story with family and charity at the heart of all that is most important. Perfect to read to your young children as a treat on a holiday, for most of these have to do with holidays. CLASSIC BOOKS ARE GREAT I loved reading Louisa May Alcott books as a young girl and was happy to give these books as a gift to my granddaughter. She says she really enjoys reading and loves these books as much as I did so many years ago. Delightful Christmas Stories This book is actually a compilation of 3 short stories by Louisa May Alcott. The first story of the book is called "Kate's Choice", and it was my favorite story of the book. It is about a young girl from England who has come to stay with relatives in America. She has all her aunts & uncles on their toes as they wait to hear about a certain life-changing decision that she must make. Not only does she make a surprising choice, but she also plans a very merry Christmas secret. "What Love Can Do" is the second story. It features 2 sisters who share their quaint Christmas wishes with each other. Each of them wish they had a bit more money to spend on gifts for their family. What awaits them on their doorstep on Christmas morning? The last story is entitled "Gwen's Adventure in the Snow". It shows the great courage of little boys & girls who get caught in a snowstorm during a fun sleigh ride. Each of these stories have their own unique personality. The characters within the pages of this book show excellent qualities and virtues, just like all of Louisa May Alcott's writings. I have a very high recommendation for this book.

They range from grimly realistic battle scenes to a science-fiction type fantasy to a couple of stories from a woman's point of view. One of the latter is "The Brothers" by Louisa May Alcott, which I really enjoyed although it is a bit melodramatic. The storyteller here is a nurse who meets a wounded slave with an ax to grind against another patient, who turns out to be his white half-brother. I had no idea that the author of Little Women had written anything like this. If you like historical fiction, you will find enough here to keep you engrossed for about six hours. The Little Regiment & Other Great Civil War Stories good book, many interesting stories.

Members Reviews: Bargain Price Solomon Kane All ten of the finished Solomon Kane stories plus a couple of poems as an Appendix. British publisher Wordsworth (I am quite familiar with Wordsworth editions)is known for quality products with bargain prices. Recommended. A real person I'm a fan of Howard, but had never read the Kane books. Solomon Kane is a very interesting character, and I love how Howard describes his actions. You can really feel that Kane, like Conan, was a real person telling his experiences to Howard. violent stories, but as a Conan fan it's what I was expecting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/William-Wilson-Spanish-Edition-Audiobook/B00P6U2VE2 Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> Título: William Wilson [Spanish Edition] Autor: Edgar Allan Poe Narrador: Gabi Pareja Formato: Unabridged Duración: 53 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 11-04-14 Editor: Editorial Audio Libro CD Categorías: Classics, American Literature Resumen del editor: Editorial Audio Libro CD, tiene el placer de presentarle la mejor colección de audiolibros en castellano, con acento español, grabados por profesionales del doblaje y la locución, con una calidad excepcional.

Bierce regresó a San Francisco en 1877. Allí continuó colaborando con el Argonaut, fue editor del Wasp.

Scott Fitzgerald Narrator: Mike Vendetti Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-12 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: This short story remains an enigma, as F. Scott Fitzgerald once again takes on the aristocracy. The heroine, Ardita, beautiful, rich, and spoiled rotten lounges on her uncle's yacht until she is carried away by an offshore pirate, Curtis Carlyle. Carlyle tells her of his upbringing as poor white trash in a Tennessee town, and his rise to become a successful musician - but one who has never been able to dance with the aristocracy. Until that is, the beautiful, spoiled-rotten Ardita falls in love with him, as much as she is capable of falling in love with anyone other than herself, on the deserted tropical island. But is this just a dream or fantasy in Ardita's mind? You be the judge, as Fitzgerald's last line, "kissed him softly in the illustration", reveals that this is either a story or Arditas dream. biacuaduc@gmail.com (F.

Members Reviews: Narrator destroyed it Would you try another book from F. Scott Fitzgerald and/or Mike Vendetti? Yes. Would you be willing to try another one of Mike Vendettis performances? Absolutely NOT. Any additional comments? This narrator ruined a very good story. His performance was so bad I don't know how it made it to audiobook.

The author was very descriptive with his writing. I felt like I was really there! Shakespearing Tragedy Would you consider the audio edition of One of the Missing to be better than the print version? Yes as I usually do not pick up short stories but when I travel to work it is a long trip so short stories are perfect. Who was your favorite character and why? The three characters are equally interesting. They all together make the story complete. What about John Michaelss performance did you like? His reading seems to make the story real. I seemed to be an observer. If you could rename One of the Missing, what would you call it? The way things, sometimes, just are! Any additional comments?

Title: The Men in the Storm Subtitle: A Stephen Crane Story Author: Stephen Crane Narrator: Deaver Brown Format: Unabridged Length: 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-11 Publisher: Simply Media Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: "The Men in the Storm" is a warm story by Stephen Crane, relating to the struggles of homeless men against the cold, the elements, and hunger, while trying to keep a certain level of human dignity and optimism. As a short-story writer, Crane is best known for "The Open Boat", thought by many to be the best short story ever written; "The Blue Hotel", and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". "The Men in the Storm" follows the storms and forces of nature Crane uses so well in "The Blue Hotel" and "The Open Boat". This story deserves to be right up there with the top three. (As Simply says, this is not an NFL Power ranking, or a compare-and-contrast assignment. This is your opportunity to enjoy many of Crane's other illuminating and moving works.) The men are wandering during the day and must seek rest for the night. They line up, pushing and shoving, to get into the magical place for warmth and comfort. A policeman joins them and rather gently keeps the peace while the men wait to be let in when the door opens for the night. When it finally opens, the men push and shove until, at the last moment, they are about to enter and each one regains a dignity, moment of self-worth, and happiness.

Crane is best known for three short stories, "The Open Boat", thought by many to be the best short story ever written; "The Blue Hotel"; and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky".

This is your opportunity to enjoy many of Crane's other illuminating and moving works. "A Dark Brown Dog" is the first cousin of Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, in being set in the rough, tough world of the New York Bowery of the late 19th century. The boy meets the dog and abuses his warmth and openness, the dog-like devotion so common to many dogs. Later one meets the father from whom the boy has picked up the anger and abusive behavior. However, the boy is not quite there yet and adopts the dog for his own; one feels this is the turning point in his life, and certainly will likely be the most memorable. They boy's hope, as with Maggie, was dashed by an abusive parent. The dog is thrown out of the house by an abusive parent much like Maggie was. The results are similar. Both die. Crane not only writes the story but paints the canvas on which it occurs.

Scott Fitzgerald wrote some amazing short stories - everything from romances to mind-boggling fantasies. This collection includes five of his most famous and most imaginative stories. The are: "The Offshore Pirate," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," and "Head and Shoulders". Members Reviews: Stellar Audiobook! Stories: This audiobook consists of five short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The included stories are: "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong" and "Head and Shoulders." My only previous experience of Fitzgerald, as is the case with most people I imagine, is The Great Gatsby which we read in high school. While I liked it more than I didn't, I mostly felt meh about it. These stories, though, I greatly enjoyed, particularly the fantastical ones. In "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," the title character is staying with her cousin Marjorie, a bright, popular girl. Bernice, in contrast, is dull and disliked, despite her pretty face. Marjorie, sick of having to take this depressing girl with her everywhere, teachers her all the tricks to flirting with the boys and being popular. When Bernice does too well, Marjorie challenges her to follow through with her promise to bob her hair. Although I didn't like the characters and would not like this as a full-length novel, it made a fun, light short story about the 1920s. I must confess that I have never managed to watch the movie version of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." I have tried twice (once on an airplane and once on Netflix watch instantly), but was too creeped out by the old man baby and too annoyed by his voice to keep going. Plus, kinda bored. The story is an interesting one, really making you consider how much it would suck to age backwards. My guess is that the movie made more of a romance out of it; I can tell you right now that the story is not romantic. Unfortunately, Pinchot chose to use pretty much the exact same creepy, obnoxious voice for the old man baby. Sigh. The third story is both somewhat creepy (they do seem to be this way) and really fascinating. In "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," Fitzgerald created a family blessed with impossible wealth, their forefather having discovered a mountain made out of a flawless diamond. The eerie part comes in with the lengths they have taken to keep the source of their wealth secret. Something about this was really incredibly interesting to me, although, now, it's hard to say why. "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong" was definitely not my favorite story of the bunch. However, having reached the end of it, I was surprised and enchanted to find that Fitzgerald is capable of some delightful dark humor. Plus, the whole story renders a social commentary that I find quite amusing. Most, perhaps all, of his works are social commentary, but I think this one takes a slightly different bent. This last may have been my favorite story. The main character, Horace, is a philosopher, with little interest in doing anything but read philosophical tomes. He even named his two chairs after philosophers (Berkeley and Hume). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Classic-American-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B002V8N31C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Classic American Short Stories Author: Ambrose Bierce, Stephen Crane, Mark Twain Narrator: William Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-01 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Five great American short story writers, dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, are represented here. Different in atmosphere and writing style, they nevertheless caught the mood and concerns of the day in a way that was distinctly American. Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge leaves echoes in the imagination; the stories by Crane and London recall the themes of the Civil War and the Klondike for which they are well known.

William Roberts is an excellent narrator, and given a true classic, like Bierce's "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" or Twain's "Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," he achieves the subtlety and concentrated dramatic force that are the hallmarks of the American short story. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ambrose Bierce) Tue, 27 Mar 2001 03:32:52 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Classic-American-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B002V8N31C thebookvoice.com 02:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good price and fast delivery Interesting selection from Barnes and Noble. Good price and fast delivery. Thank you. Wonderful stories, melodramatic readings; nearly unlistenable It is almost a crime to subject classic short stories such as these to this kind of audio treatment. Each is introduced with cheap sound effects or maudlin music. The reader is hopelessly overdramatic, mispronounces words like "coquettry" and cheapens the narrative with dripping emotion and weird rhetorical lifts in his voice. Worst of all is the dialogue which, as if in a radio play, is read by a variety of voices, women for female characters, men for male. Accents are over-wrought, turning the dialogue of masters like Twain and Fitzgerald into caricature. These great stories should be read and, if they must be read aloud, done with respect rather than fear that listeners might be bored without cheap theatrics. Excellent Readings These are very good readings of some good stories. Particularly impressive is Bierce's classic "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." This story holds up well on re-reading. On one level it's a cool "Twilight Zone" kind of story: man has out of body experience as he's about to be hanged. But on a deeper level, the story is about the interplay of mind and matter and about how to face death. The O Henry pieces are all amusing, but his stories are a bit superficial and contrived, and I'm not sure they really deserve to dominate this collection. Nor are the Crane and London pieces their best. But these are good stories, and the readers are excellent. Five Stars Beautiful and loved. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Red-One-Audiobook/B002V5H8YI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enjoyable every time A short story that I enjoy reading over and over. Poe makes you question the human psyche and what people are capable of. A classic, "must read" book! A classic and a "must read"! What more can I say. If you haven't yet read it, get a copy and do so! An Insult Is Given Weight Not By The Giver, But By The Receiver Like an unwitting opponent in the endgame of a crushing chess match, the pompous potentate becomes a persuasive ally to his own checkmate. Except itâs not so much a game heâs lost, but something far more precious. This is a very short story, but with a lasting message. No, it's not about chess, but a gambit is nonetheless offered, accepted; then played out. Like something out of Criminal Minds I gave this short story five stars because I like the macabre, and I also write short stories. It is a fast moving tale; one that constantly kept me wanting to see what happened next. The archaic language may make it difficult for some readers to understand, but that's what makes it literature - especially nineteenth century literature. Better Every Time I just reread this tale as a refresher to help my son with his homework. I've got to say, it gets better every time I read it. My first reading was as a Freshman in high school, just like my son. I can still remember enjoying the story and the chill it gave me when I realized Montresor's intentions. There have been numerous reasons between then and now and I seem to pick up on more and more sinister details each time. Edgar Allan Poe was a genius. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Ladys-Maids-Bell-Audiobook/B01MAYX5XD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love the stories Can't beat the price! Love the stories. It's amazing how much Bierce has been imitated by other writers. Ok--fun if you like scary stories OK--gave some copies to foreign readers who know how to read English fairly well, and they thought the stories were scary but interesting. Four Stars Enjoyable. but they make good re-reading. Bierce is comparable to Poe but easier ... Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was a Victorian author of the weird and macabre specialing in ghost stories. Though during his life he was more renowned as a satirist, journalist, and editorialist. Thankfully, we've remembered him for his eerie tales. I've come across his stories in anthologies several times but this is the first author specific collection I've read. I had come across three of these stories before, but they make good re-reading. Bierce is comparable to Poe but easier to read. The stories in this collection have been selected from the 1909-1912 editions of "The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce" and show a mix of his ghost and, as the title calls them, "horror" stories (but I wouldn't necessarily give them that classification, but more general simply "weird tales"). I liked the weird, macabre tales the best and I'd recommend him to your reading list for those interested in Victorian ghost stories or tales of the weird. 1) The Eyes of the Panther - A young woman refuses to marry a man repeatedly and he demands to know why so she tells him she is insane and proceeds to tell him a story. It's a good story but it made me think too much of the original movie "Cat People", perhaps they got the idea from this story. (3/5) 2) The Moonlit Road - I hadn't recognized just by the title but it came to me quickly that I've read this one before. A son is called home from college urgently to discover his mother has been brutally murdered. Shortly afterward his father, while out on a walk with him, takes off and disappears forever. Told in three points of view first from the son, then the father and finally the mother, through the aid of a medium. None of them knows the whole truth, only the reader is able put most of it together, but afterthought still leaves a few questions. A creepy story. (4/5) 3) The Boarded Window - This is a creepy shocker that you have no idea where it is going. It starts off easy going enough and you wonder where it is going by the halfway point; it is quite short. Then it starts getting interesting with the tension mounting and pow! it gets you with the ending. (5/5) 4) The Man and the Snake - Another creepy little story with the shocker ending. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Black-Hound-of-Death-Audiobook/B01DKWANOC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Gothic brilliance wonderfully narrated. I don't usually write reviews but this was truly excellent. Poe's brilliance is wonderfully portrayed by Christopher Perkin who has the gravitas and tone to pull off this superb rendition of the great man's work. In particular The Raven absolutely gripped me. For me this is the best audible book experience so far. Great classic gothic horror! Would you listen to Tales of Mystery & Imagination again? Why? Yes, yes, a million times - yes! Any additional comments? Poe just knows how to press my buttons! Creepy, classic gothic horror at its best! The narration adds to the feel of the audio too.

Lovecraft who singled it out for praise in his seminal essay, Supernatural Horror in Literature (1927). The story made me eager to seek out more of Cobb's short stories. Not much to speak of, really Didn't really care for this. Creature horror in the swampy Souths of the U.S. The story focuses on a strange creature which stalks the bayous. And that's about all I can recall, because I was just not interested. This might work better for avid Lovecraftian horror fans, but if you want a general type of horror, more about terror than strange creatures, it's not a good fit. I listened to the audio production from Pseudopod. Classic! I really enjoyed reading this short story. One can see how it influenced later generations. It's a very fun read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Paulines-Passion-and-Punishment-and-Other-Escapades-Audiobook/B00L1DSNUY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars great author Enjoyable Terrifyingly good. Use of words that put reader smack in the middle of the scene. Gut wrenches with descriptions. Very good Pauline's Struggle Try as I might, I could not follow this story line. It seemed to me it was all out of order. I was real disapppointed in this one. Can't recommend it. A good quick read! I love the contrast of the flowery prose as opposed to the dark melodrama involved in the love story of the four characters. Louisa May Alcott certainly shows us another side of her storytelling in this book. As a huge Little Women fan I was pleasantly surprised; I think I like it! Pauline's Passion and Punishment This isn't the usual Louisa May Alcott story, and I didn't enjoy reading it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Horseman-in-the-Sky-Audiobook/B00GSFNFLW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Here are eight stories from master American writers of the 19th century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce - why is that window boarded up? - and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, but forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O. Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross. Editorial Reviews: Young Carter Druse has asleep at his post. The son of a wealthy Virginian, Carter has joined the Union forces, to his father's dismay. When he wakes, he is stunned at the sight of a Confederate soldier riding a horse in the distance. He contemplates the beauty of the moment, agonizing over whether to kill the man. But as a soldier, he is bound by duty to pull the trigger. Ambrose Bierce's narrative comes to a brutally ironic conclusion, but Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross emphasize his beautiful prose with a deliberate style that savors his descriptions of Carter's torment. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ambrose Bierce) Wed, 20 Nov 2013 01:56:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/A-Horseman-in-the-Sky-Audiobook/B00GSFNFLW thebookvoice.com 00:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A cheap read, but little else. First off, here are the short stories included on the 2 discs: A Horseman in the Sky - Ambrose Bierce Regret - Kate Chopin Eclipse - James Fenimore Cooper The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky - Stephen Crane The Cop and the Anthem - O. Henry The Princess and the Puma - O. Henry The Whirligig of Life - O. Henry Read by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross Based on the name recognition of the authors, I was expecting much more. None of the stories were known to me (and probably not to anyone outside an english lit department). Two of the stories were decent, but the rest were unimpressive. Wasn't impressed with the readers either, as they tended towards over-acting (though perhaps the material lent itself to that). The two-disc set served its purpose of keeping me awake on a long drive to a fishing cabin, but little else. I did like the fact that I could stop between short stories, unlike a longer novel. On my last long trip, I was listening to Shadow Divers (great book!) and arrived at my destination in the middle of a dive emergency. Had to wait three days to learn the fate of the divers. Can't say I would really recommend this compilation, but if you're a voracious reader/listener who goes through books like candy, the price is hard to beat. Also might be more enjoyable to someone else for the nostalgic qualities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Death-of-a-Soldier-Audiobook/B00GR5DH6Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: but I wasn't too pleased when I did It took me a minute to recall this plot, but I wasn't too pleased when I did. It's pretty boring, and, while I read this as part of two different horror collections, and there's really not much in the horror genre to speak of. A man's wife passes and a wildcat tries to take her body from the house at night. It's, honestly, just something that would have happened. Nothing really strange about it. This story is in the public domain. I listened to the free audio production from Librivox. Surprising Throughout! Excellent plot twists satisfied and leave you gasping. amazing story this is really one of the best stories i have ever read. the end will leave you gaping it is truly shocking https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Killed-at-Resaca-Audiobook/B007URX4LS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you've ever had the good fortune to read "The Devil's Dictionary" you know Ambrose Bierce is a very, very funny writer. He is a master of irony and subtle and keen insights on the human condition. I really wanted to enjoy this book and experience his great sense of humour again, but unfortunately the narrator was a mismatch for the material. I'm not criticising him. I can hear this narrator doing adventure stories with lots of drama. But he did not capture the humour or "feel" of this subtle tale and transmit it to me, the listener. This story needs to be re-recorded with someone who will give it the treatment it deserves. It could be very funny, if read right. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/El-barril-de-amontillado-The-Cask-of-Amontillado-Audiobook/B0055DX05O Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> Título: El barril de amontillado [The Cask of Amontillado] Autor: Edgar Allan Poe Narrador: Sonolibro Formato: Unabridged Duración: 21 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 06-13-11 Editor: Sonolibro Calificaciones: 4.5 de 5 de 2 votos Categorías: Classics, American Literature Resumen del editor: La amistad es un bello sentimiento humano, pero ¿ que es la venganza...?

Members Reviews: You couldn't PAY me to listen to this again PLEASE do not buy this. I rarely leave reviews, and even more rarely do I leave bad reviews, however, I felt it my duty to warn others. The stories are WONDERFUL, the reading is even worse than dreadful. I am quite certain the narrator hadn't read any of the stories before he started reading, and I'm pretty sure he recorded the whole thing in one take. The narrator can be heard from time to time either eating or chewing gum, drinking and you can always hear when he clicks the mouse to scroll down as he reads. When I purchased this book I paid about $2 and thought how bad can you mess up Twain... I soon found out. You can keep my $2, "you pays your money, you takes your chances" but I want my 1hr 33mins back. Do not waste your money What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The reader hasn't a clue. I gave up listening after twenty minutes. What didnt you like about Deaver Browns performance? He can't read. You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Members Reviews: Public domain, so NOT worth the cost for this 28-page story! Eh. Not very interesting. A researcher of supernatural phenomena manages to astral project, but finds himself locked out of his body while a malicious spirit uses it to run wild in the streets. Little else to say. We do get an explanation of the event from the researcher, but it's not terribly interesting. Mainly it just seems like Wells is patting himself on the back as he writes his own theories on the supernatural. This story is in the public domain.

Title: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Subtitle: Collected Stories of the Supernatural Author: Ambrose Bierce Narrator: Mark Hammer Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: American journalist, short story writer, and poet, Ambrose Bierce is best known for his formidably vicious wit - given free rein in his famous column, "The Prattler." But his stories were elegantly crafted, with a compelling blend of realistic detail, clever plot twists, and his own sardonic humor. These 8 macabre stories, read here by Mark Hammer, establish Bierce as a master of the genre. Included are "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," "The Damned Thing," "A Watcher by the Dead," "An Inhabitant of Carcosa," "The Famous Gilson Bequest," "The Eyes of the Panther," "The Secret of Macarger's Gulch," and "The Night-Doings at 'Deadman's'." Editorial Reviews: Narrator Mark Hammer's clear and authoritative tone allows the telling of these gripping stories of the macabre to be even more engaging and terrifying. Hammer uses vocal gymnastics to turn these carefully crafted stories into mini-movies that play in the listener's mind.

Members Reviews: I loved this movie the first time I saw it I loved this movie the first time I saw it. I watched it with my children, but a few short years later, my youngest son and a grandson died in a car wreck. Now, I have other grandchildren, but I still long to see those who aren't with us. Losing a child or a grandchild will always be with you. Yes, I picked up the pieces, but the counselor I went to told me you never get over it. You just learn to live with it.. WELL WRITTEN SHORT STORY...BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED. It was like visiting an old friend. First let me say that this review contains spoilers. This is a pity. The only reason I placed these spoilers in this review is that the product description here already lets the cat out of the bag as to the ending. This is a pity. Anyway.... I first read this story years and years ago. It was one of the many short stories we had to read in a special advanced English course I took in high school. Like most kids of that age I felt I was being force fed a bunch of stuff I had absolutely no interest in and must admit that I fought it. Over the years I have forgotten most to many of the numerous stories we read during that year, which is sort of sad when you think about it, but I have to tell you that this offering from Ambrose Bierce was not one of those that I consciously or unconsciously shuffled either to the back of my mind or out of it completely. No, no - far, far from it! This one has stuck with me throughout the years and I was delighted when I found it as a free Kindle download. A Confederate man; a planter in northern Alabama during the Civil War has been captured by Union Solders. He has been sentenced to death and the story begins on a railroad bridge as the man stands on a railroad bridge with a rope noose about his neck about to be hanged. The board he is standing upon is tilted and he begins to fall. This entire short story takes place in the doomed mans mind as he falls to the end of the rope. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Black-Cat-Audiobook/B002V1C6RG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: THE BLACK CAT I loved this book ! It was by Booksurge.com and well-printed and easy to read. But I was especially impressed by the service of Amazon. I received the book in two days and was advised all along the way: when it was shipped, the tracking of it, and e mails advising me of all details. Excellent, Amazon! I am a dedicated customer. It was a gift to someone I doubt that she has read it yet. She said she didn't have any books by Poe so she wanted to try one. Classic... I purchased three of these stories as downloads for a personal reading of Edgar Allen Poe. Poe's stories are short and easily read, but are chilling and mysterious as well. Perfect for Halloween... Just what son-in-law wanted. Son-in-law asked for this "book" for Christmas. It was more like a "pamphlet" ... very thin and cover very thin. I would have liked the cover/binding to be thicker and sturdier, but it was exactly what my son-in-law wanted, so I am happy with it. This classic is great, disturbing and wonderful The Black Cat, published in 1845, is a typically great gripping short horror tale by the master of horror, Edgar Allan Poe. It is about a man, a drunk, who loved a black cat, which loved him. The man committed a couple of terrible acts, I will mention the first, which is not the worst. What followed cannot be explained by logic. In a drunken stupor, the man cut out the eye of the black cat, but unsatisfied with this deed, he hung the cat and killed it. Soon thereafter, his house caught fire and he lost all his wealth. Only one wall of his house remained. On it in bas-relief, inexplicably, was the figure of a cat with a rope around its neck. Then another cat came to him. It looked like the cat he killed, except that it was not entirely black like the cat he killed. It also had lost one eye. It had a white splotch on its head. At first he liked this cat as he had liked the cat he killed at first. But then he saw that the white splotch looked like a gallow, and he loathed the cat and wanted to kill it as he had killed the first catâ. Several horrors and murder follow. Readers may want to compare this tale with Poeâs âThe Tell-Tale Heart.â https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Admiral-Audiobook/B077PBHCQT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Here are eight stories from master American writers of the 19th century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce - why is that window boarded up? - and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, but forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O.

Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross. Editorial Reviews: In this short piece, James Fenimore Cooper remembers his experience of a solar eclipse that occurred when he was still a young man. Using this unique event as a starting point, Cooper describes life in his beloved hometown, as well as the different people who lived there and their varying reactions to the eclipse. Narrator Garrick Hagon's full-bodied performance brims with spirit, and his description of the details of town life is both charming and familiar.

Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross. Editorial Reviews: In this short piece, James Fenimore Cooper remembers his experience of a solar eclipse that occurred when he was still a young man. Using this unique event as a starting point, Cooper describes life in his beloved hometown, as well as the different people who lived there and their varying reactions to the eclipse. Narrator Garrick Hagon's full-bodied performance brims with spirit, and his description of the details of town life is both charming and familiar. Hagon tempers his lively narration with a contemplative tone that brings this recollection to a satisfying close. Members Reviews: A cheap read, but little else. First off, here are the short stories included on the 2 discs: A Horseman in the Sky - Ambrose Bierce Regret - Kate Chopin Eclipse - James Fenimore Cooper The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky - Stephen Crane The Cop and the Anthem - O. Henry The Princess and the Puma - O. Henry The Whirligig of Life - O. Henry Read by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross Based on the name recognition of the authors, I was expecting much more. None of the stories were known to me (and probably not to anyone outside an english lit department). Two of the stories were decent, but the rest were unimpressive. Wasn't impressed with the readers either, as they tended towards over-acting (though perhaps the material lent itself to that). The two-disc set served its purpose of keeping me awake on a long drive to a fishing cabin, but little else. I did like the fact that I could stop between short stories, unlike a longer novel. On my last long trip, I was listening to Shadow Divers (great book!) and arrived at my destination in the middle of a dive emergency. Had to wait three days to learn the fate of the divers. Can't say I would really recommend this compilation, but if you're a voracious reader/listener who goes through books like candy, the price is hard to beat. Also might be more enjoyable to someone else for the nostalgic qualities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Edgar-Allan-Poe-Audiobook-Collection-12-Audiobook/B00DESR83M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Try not to be a bride in a ghost story If you're looking for ghosts in your ghost stories, this book might disappoint you. Even the cover story, "A Bottomless Grave" has no ghost. However we do have Victorian witches, psychic detectives, con artists, revenge-suicides, and grave-robbers. There are three humorous ghost stories, which editor Hugh Lamb realizes are not to everyone's taste so he issues an advance warning: "I've put them all together so that those in quest of thrills alone may bypass them if they wish." I did indeed wish. One of them, "A Ghost Slayer" by J. Keighley Snowden is written in dialect and almost impossible to read, anyway. Lamb writes very detailed introductions featuring the authors, so if you have an interest in obscure Victorian writers, this book is well worth its purchase price. And there are a handful of scary stories--some even have ghosts in them. Here are my favorites among the twenty-one tales in this collection: "The Ship that saw a Ghost" by Frank Norris--A very atmospheric tale of a tramp steamer and an ancient three-masted derelict that first appears in "the red eye of the setting moon." "The Man with the Nose" by Rhoda Broughton--A bride on an extended honeymoon keeps seeing a sinister figure with a prominent nose. The story reminds me of Le Fanu's "Schalken the Painter." It's tough to be a bride in a ghost story--sort of like being an extra in a 'Star Trek' episode. "The Haunted Chair" by Richard Marsh--Members of an exclusive London club keep seeing a disreputable gambler who was supposedly exiled to Ceylon. He also seems to be stealing their wallets. "The Story of Baelbrow" by E. and H. Heron--Flaxman Low, scientist and psychic detective is called into a haunted house when a housemaid is found dead in a corridor with a mysterious pustule behind her ear. Did the family ghost suddenly discover a taste for blood? Why is it biting folks behind their ears? Great book filled with Victorian Era spooky stories! If you are into classic horror, mystery, and suspense, then this is a must have book for your collection! Very cool short stories written in the Victorian era and the authors suck you in with their unique writing styles. A Nice Collection As one could expect in an anthology, some of the stories are better than others but overall pretty good. There is also a wide range of styles; from comedic to morbid, there is more here than just traditional Victorian ghost stories (but there are a few of those too). Guy de Maupassant's "The Tomb" stands out as possibly the most disturbing of lot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/The-Stolen-White-Elephant-Audiobook/B00BURZ1J2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another Mark Twain Masterpiece! Why anybody would need to read a review for a free download of a book is beyond me, but here it goes! I thought that I had read all of Mark Twain's books, but it looks as if I might have overlooked this book. This fictional story of a stolen elephant is truly a joy to read. Many parts of this ridiculous and incredibly detailed story of an idiotic bureaucracy are just as true today as they were 150 years ago. This is another masterpiece reflecting Mark Twain's imagination and wry sense of humor. I think there was a sentence or two in which the original text was somehow scanned incorrectly, but it didn't raise my hackles enough to warrant the purchase of an original (OMG paper) version of this book! Reading any Mark Twain book in an E-Book form has many advantages over the paper version. In nearly every chapter, Mark Twain used an obscure word that I could not recall the definition of. In an E-Reader (I use a Nook Fire) you can highlight the unfamiliar word, and immediately get the definition of that word. If you like Mark Twain, you will want to read "The Stolen White Elephant". I was a little disappointed that there was only one line I read it mainly because I heard that my hometown of Monroe, Michigan was mentioned. I was a little disappointed that there was only one line. I had hoped it would be featured more prominently. But it was good. How can you say no to Mark Twain. LOL Five Stars Love the book. Not worth buying free There seems to be problems with transcribing some parts of books such as this. Throughout, the major turning points of the stories, which are quotes from either letters or newspaper articles, are completely missing. I am guessing that the missing sections appear in italics or some variant form. This not the only book in which I have seen this -- makes the entire thing useless. The whole development of the story involves newspaper ads -- all of which are missing. Missing bits, but still appreciable This is not a well done copy of The Stolen White Elephant. As other reviewers have noted, bits are missing throughout the story. Mostly newspaper clippings are missing, but frequently the article bits that do make it in have their formatting a bit butchered. The story is still very good and worth reading in this format, just know that if you really love it here then it is worth rereading in a printing that has the whole thing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Edgar-Allan-Poe-Short-Stories-Audiobook/B009RWTZF8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: More Classic American Short Stories Author: Ambrose Bierce, Kate Chopin, O. Henry, Stephen Crane, James Fenimore Cooper Narrator: Garrick Hagon, Liza Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-11 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Here are eight stories from master American writers of the 19th century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce - why is that window boarded up? - and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, but forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O. Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross. Editorial Reviews: Set against iconic American landscapes such as the Civil War, the big city, and the Wild West, this varied collection of short stories finds capable suitors in the strains of two renowned performers. Fluid baritone Garrick Hagon (Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Mission: Impossible) lends grimacing garishness to Ambrose Bierces sinister Civil War story "A Horseman in the Sky", while striking a more radiant, pastoral note in Stephen Cranes "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". Sprightly and sonorous Liza Ross (Batman, Tomorrow Never Dies) contributes good-humored stoicism to Kate Chopins "Regret", a contemplative vignette regarding a womans missed opportunity for motherhood. Elsewhere, listeners are offered a trio of tales from O.

Henry, Stephen Crane, James Fenimore Cooper Narrator: Garrick Hagon, Liza Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-11 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Here are eight stories from master American writers of the 19th century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce - why is that window boarded up? - and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, but forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O. Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross. Editorial Reviews: Set against iconic American landscapes such as the Civil War, the big city, and the Wild West, this varied collection of short stories finds capable suitors in the strains of two renowned performers. Fluid baritone Garrick Hagon (Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Mission: Impossible) lends grimacing garishness to Ambrose Bierces sinister Civil War story "A Horseman in the Sky", while striking a more radiant, pastoral note in Stephen Cranes "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". Sprightly and sonorous Liza Ross (Batman, Tomorrow Never Dies) contributes good-humored stoicism to Kate Chopins "Regret", a contemplative vignette regarding a womans missed opportunity for motherhood. Elsewhere, listeners are offered a trio of tales from O.

First off, here are the short stories included on the 2 discs: A Horseman in the Sky - Ambrose Bierce Regret - Kate Chopin Eclipse - James Fenimore Cooper The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky - Stephen Crane The Cop and the Anthem - O. Henry The Princess and the Puma - O. Henry The Whirligig of Life - O. Henry Read by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross Based on the name recognition of the authors, I was expecting much more. None of the stories were known to me (and probably not to anyone outside an english lit department). Two of the stories were decent, but the rest were unimpressive. Wasn't impressed with the readers either, as they tended towards over-acting (though perhaps the material lent itself to that). The two-disc set served its purpose of keeping me awake on a long drive to a fishing cabin, but little else. I did like the fact that I could stop between short stories, unlike a longer novel. On my last long trip, I was listening to Shadow Divers (great book!) and arrived at my destination in the middle of a dive emergency. Had to wait three days to learn the fate of the divers. Can't say I would really recommend this compilation, but if you're a voracious reader/listener who goes through books like candy, the price is hard to beat. Also might be more enjoyable to someone else for the nostalgic qualities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Classics/Un-Sacrificio-por-Amor-A-Sacrifice-for-Love-Audiobook/B004XJC2IM Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/839/]]> Título: Un Sacrificio por Amor [A Sacrifice for Love] Autor: O.
