Title: Walden

Author: Henry David Thoreau

Narrator: Kevin Theis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-18

Publisher: Bassett Publishing

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

A must-listen for all Thoreau aficionados, Walden explores the simpler and slower pace of life. A deep exploration into Henry David Thoreau's philosophical and spiritual understandings, Walden captivates with its intrapersonal reflection.

Thoreau documents his escape from reality to a simple cabin on Walden Pond in rural Massachusetts. "Could he survive, possibly even thrive...living a plain, simple life," Thoreau ponders, and he finds his answer in his semi-anti-social experiment at Walden Pond. A true thought-rebellion of his time, Thoreau presents an argument for striping away the excess and living with the bare necessities.

Members Reviews:

A favorite book

Walden was one of my favorite books as a young man. I love the fact that now that it is in the public domain I can read it for free. As a visually impaired reader I MUST have my books in the Kindle format so that I can read/listen to them on my Kindle and also read them is super size font on my computer.

As I re-read this seminal book I was reminded of all of the reasons I first loved this book. It will cause you to reflect not only upon your life but upon the planet we all share.

Kindle formatting is acceptable. Not perfect but when a book is free how can I complain.

Youth is truly wasted on the young.

This standard classic holds up even better after 40 years of studying it in student days. One gets much more out of it now. I even find myself re-reading paragraphs. Youth is truly wasted on the young. It can still change your life.

A fascinating glimpse into another time.

It's a fascinating glimpse into another time that's particularly relevant to today's pathological need to climb the ladder of "success" as high and as quickly as possible. There is another way to live... you do have a choice.

Classic

Such a classic book, it should be in everyone's library--digital or physical. Great character development and thought provoking narrative by Thoreau; overall a must-read!

Font is so small ...it is impossible to read.

I was really excited to read this book, but once it arrived... I was very disappointed. The font was about a size 7. It is impossible to see or read. I should have looked at the publishing company and not the price. Guess you get what you pay for.

Critic Reviews:

"Myteriet p Bounty bestr av allt det material, som äventyrsromaner är gjorda av. Dess historiska noggrannhet gör den inte mindre spännande. Berättarstilen är intressant med sin äkta 1700-talskänsla och är samtidigt uppfriskande charmerande och vacker." (New York Times)

Title: Onkel Toms stuga [Uncle Tom's Cabin]

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe

Narrator: Hkan Mohede

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-17

Publisher: Viatone

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

I Onkel Toms stuga följer vi den goda, plikttrogna slaven Tom. I början av boken är Tom en oerhört uppskattad och betrodd slav hos en snäll, vit familj i Kentucky, men när familjen hamnar i stor ekonomisk knipa blir de - helt emot sin vilja - tvingade att sälja Tom. Han hamnar till slut hos den brutala slavägaren Legree i Louisiana. Tiden innan dess arbetar han som slav p olika ställen, men tvingas leva tskild frn sin fru och sina barn. I boken fr man även bland annat följa Eliza och hennes man George, som reser iväg med hopp om att uppn frihet i Kanada, och den lilla, vita flickan Eva, som tydligt känner av slavarnas lidande, och som knyter ett starkt band till Tom, och om den aningslösa slavflickan Topsy, som blir vän med Eva.

Onkel Toms stuga var den mest slda romanen under 1800-talet och är den näst mest slda boken överhuvudtaget - den överträffas endast av Bibeln. I dag finns den p nästan alla sprk och även om den ursprungligen är skriven för vuxna har den erövrat en säker plats i den klassiska ungdomslitteraturen.

Title: The Man Who Could Not Lose

Author: Richard Harding Davis

Narrator: C. James Moore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-17

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

A sweet, exciting, and somewhat supernatural story of Champneys "Champ" Carter and his devoted and headstrong wife, Dolly, who, in the early teens of the 20th century, discover Carter's uncanny knack for picking winning racehorses.

Carter, a struggling novelist, and Dolly, absent a family fortune due to her marriage to Champ, are making what they can with their very last dollars in a New York City apartment. He wishes nothing more than to make her happy, but finds himself unsuited for nearly every sort of real job except for his passion for writing.

Dolly, never faltering for a moment in her love for, and faith in Carter, even when their finances are in dire straits, supports his dream to publish...but how? Nearly penniless, and on the verge of desperation, Champ reveals to Dolly a dream he'd had about a horse named Dromedary, and how, in the dream, after so many failures to even place at the track, Dromedary pulled off a miracle and finally won.

With little to lose, Dolly and Champ head to the track with a perfectly-timed windfall of $100 from a publisher. With steep odds against Dromedary, Carter nonetheless places his bet - all their money - on the horse of his dream.

What follows is a fast-paced tale of happy luck, wondrous results, and nationwide notoriety for "The Man Who Could Not Lose."

It would be hard to overstate the value of Richard Harding Davis (April 18, 1864 - April 11, 1916) to the world of American journalism. Born in the closing years of the Civil War, Davis became the model for the American war correspondent, covering both the Boer War and the Spanish-American War with intimate accounts of the horrors of battle. He was one of the most respected news writers of his time, and a significant factor in the rise of President Theodore Roosevelt. "The Man Who Could Not Lose", written in 1911 and published in 1916, was one of Davis's last works of fiction.
