Publisher's Summary:

Andrew Lang drew upon his classical learning to recreate the Greek myths for children. He follows Ulysses from his boyhood, thorugh the Trojan Wars, to his voyage to seek the son of Achilles. The story of Helen of Troy, and the Trojan Horse, is told with the pace of a modern adventure.

Lang's collection of retold myths includes Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece, and recounts the lives and heroic deeds of two other major figures: Theseus, who slew the Minotaur; and Perseus, who freed the princess Andromeda as one of his many tests, with the helo of the gorgon's head. Perseus, Andromeda, and her parents, Cephus and Cassiopeia, are remembered in the constellations of the summer sky. Not only will theres tales bring to life for children of all ages the quest for good and the struggle against eveil embodied in the myths, they also reveal the roots of characters referenced throughout Western litereature from Shakespeare's time to the present day.

In the true spirit of adventure, Lang dedicated his book to H. Rider Haggard.

Members Reviews:

I hate to do this . . .

I found this work to be a bit boring. I regret having to write a bad review but I have to be an honest person. I found that the stories were hard to follow, and they don't meet the contemporary audience at its level. Most people these days aren't schooled in the classics. I think that this book is about a hundred years old, if I remember correctly. The narrator's voice is very dry, and I don't think he identifies with the material very well. So, I would not recommend this book to a person who is not familiar with the classics.

I'm on my second immersion reading,

and find this book a wonderful review of the Greek stories. I will continue to review this book until there isn't a character whose actions and relationships to others I don't know well enough to answer all trivia questions about Greek mythology.

I like that the stories here are simple, without too much worthless detail. I sent back an edition of Ovid because details ruined the story for me. (I don't need to know the names of all of Actaeon's dogs or what body part each one bit into--only that they ate him! Also, that narrator, Charlton Griffin, used a rasping voice to try to sound so ominous or devilish.)

Davidson's voice is even-tempered and clear. I've listened to enough British and French novels that I'm not used to hearing final "r" anyway, and that omission seems to me the most pronounced "British" characteristic of his reading.

Now I can't wait to see the film "Troy" again, because even minor characters will be familiar. I'll recognize Diomedes and know what he's about to do, and when Odysseus steals the luck of Troy, I'll chuckle, remembering his relationship to Antilocus. This is what a clear, organized, uncluttered storytelling has given me.

Ugh, this narrator is awful!!

Wow is this narrator awful! Between his accent, his terrible timing, and the sense of boredom he portrays, this was unbearable! Constant sighing in the middle of sentences like someone twisted his arm into doing this narration. TERRIBLE

Riepilogo Editore:

I Malavoglia è il romanzo più famoso di Giovanni Verga, ambientato ad Aci Trezza, alla fine del 1800. Il romanzo non ha un solo protagonista, né una sola famiglia, i Malavoglia, come protagonista, ma è il coro di tutto il paese e di un tipo di vita che segue , senza ribellarsi, i proverbi e le tradizioni, le convinzioni e i pregiudizi dellambiente. La scrittura del romanzo, che procede per discorsi diretti ed indiretti senza soluzione di continuità , nella logica del coro, in cui non cè nessuna voce solista, ma tutti conocrrono alla melodia, fu innovativa per lepoca e, inizialmente, non fu completamente apprezzata.Il romanzo fu il primo della serie Il Ciclo dei Vinti che seguì con Mastro Don Gesualdo e La Duchessa di Leyra, e non venne mai completata. La cornice musicale che accompagna la lettura è la canzone popolare Fammi ristare into mezzu di to brazza nellesecuzione del gruppo Taberna Mylensis..

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Michel Strogoff, courrier du tzar, est chargé d'une mission secrète et périlleuse, rallier Irkoutsk à 5000 kilomètres de Moscou pour déjouer les plans d'Ivan Ogareff, un traitre, instigateur de l'invasion tartare qui déferle sur la Russie. Incognito, le jeune officier se lance dans une course haletante à travers la Sibérie dévastée par les hordes de Feofar-Khan... Sur cette route pleine d'obstacles, il trouve la belle Nadia, ainsi que les journalistes Harry Blount, l'anglais et Alcide Jolivet, le français. Une aventure palpitante aux nombreuses péripéties.

Timeless Fiction with Accuracy

Great classic we all know.

You can actually track MS`s mission on Google Earth.

That's how detailed Jules Verne is with his locations in that beautiful area of our planet.

Four Stars

j'ai relu ce livre, déjà lu dans le passé, avec beaucoup de plaisir.

Wild Adventure in Siberia

Michel Strogoff is one of Jules Verne's classic adventure novels. It is not a terribly difficult or sophiticated book; like Journey to the Center of the Earth, it is what one might call a "Young Adult" (YA) book. There is a revolt of the Tartars, cutting off the forces of the Grand Duke, brother of the Tsar, in Irkutsk. Michel Strogoff, Tsar's Courier, has a messsage to carry to the Grand Duke. Along the way, Michel meets a young woman, who accompanies him on his adventure. We meet Michel's mother, villainous Tartars and a traitorous Russian, and some other interesting characters. Verne gives us a travelogue of Siberia in the mid-1800s as our characters travel by rail, by steamboat, by carriage, by foot, and by raft.

For those who are learning French, or polishing up their skills in that language, Michel Strogoff is excellent practice: interesting and not too complex.

Titolo: I fratelli Karamazov

Autore: Fëdor Dostoevskij

Narratore: Silvia Cecchini

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 35 hrs and 37 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 04-25-17

Editore: Collina d'oro

Valutazioni: 2 su 5 su 1 voti

Categoria: Classics, World Literature

Riepilogo Editore:

L'ultimo romanzo di Dostoevskij e il suo capolavoro. Un filo ideale collega "Delitto e castigo", "L'idiota", "I demoni" e giunge a "I fratelli Karamazov", che riprende e conclude tutti i temi affrontati nei libri precedenti, in particolare il dramma spirituale scaturito dal conflitto morale tra fede, dubbio, ragione e libero arbitrio.

È ritenuto il vertice della sua produzione letteraria, un capolavoro della letteratura dell'Ottocento e di ogni tempo. Pubblicato a puntate dal 1879, si concluse pochi mesi prima della morte dell'autore.

Secondo l'originale progetto dell'autore, la storia dei fratelli Karamazov doveva essere la prima parte di una complessa e vasta biografia di Aleksej, uno dei fratelli (ispirato alla figura del filosofo Solovev, amico dell'autore): l'opera però, dopo cinque anni, due di studio e tre di lavoro, rimase incompiuta.

Riepilogo Editore:

In questo racconto lungo Guy De Maupassant, alternando serietà e sarcasmo, propone uno spaccato di borghesi francesi che , vuoti di valori e permeati di ipocrisia, vengono a patti con tutto pur di accaparrarsi una eredità milionaria. Amico di Flaubert. Emile Zola, da cui fu profondamente influenzato, Maupassant spesso ritrae nelle sue opere la stupidità, la cupidigia, la crudeltà e soprattutto la meschinità, e il riso è più amaro che dolce. Cornice musicale di Paul Dukas.

Titolo: Moll Flanders

Autore: Daniel Defoe

Narratore: Silvia Cecchini

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 3 hrs and 57 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 05-12-16

Editore: Collina d'oro

Categoria: Classics, World Literature

Riepilogo Editore:

"Fortune e sfortune della famosa Moll Flanders" fu pubblicato nel 1722, con l'aggiunta come sottotitolo. "Che nacque a Newgate, e durante una vita di continui cambiamenti per una sessantina d'anni dopo l'infanzia, fu per dodici anni prostituta, cinque volte moglie (compresa una volta con suo fratello), dodici anni ladra, otto anni delinquente deportata in Virginia; alla fine divenne ricca, visse onestamente e morì pentita. Trascritto dalle sue memorie".

Defoe lo scrisse dopo aver lavorato come giornalista ed autore di pamphlet. Nel 1722 era già un romanziere apprezzato, dopo il successo di "Robinson Crusoe", pubblicato nel 1719. Il suo impegno politico si stava attenuando in seguito alla caduta dei capi politici; stava iniziando la sua ascesa Robert Walpole, con il gruppo del quale Defoe non si trovò mai completamente d'accordo. Tuttavia l'orientamento Whig di Defoe è evidente nella storia. Alcuni ritengono che la vicenda sia una rappresentazione narrativa del capitalismo, date le numerose allusioni al denaro, ai contratti e ad altri argomenti legati alla moneta. Tutto, comprese le persone, ha un valore monetario. Il capitalismo però non divenne un concetto familiare se non molto più tardi; è dunque meglio ritenere che Defoe, che fu lui stesso carcerato a Newgate e spia, rappresenti piuttosto la vita sociale del XVIII secolo.

Daniel Defoe era puritano. Le sue vedute sono chiare, in quanto egli crede nel lavoro duro, nella devozione e nell'opera della provvidenza come grazia, e ne scrive. Ci si chiede, tuttavia, in che luce Defoe intendesse presentare il personaggio di Moll. Il romanzo, che dedica molte pagine al crimine e al peccato, e pochissime al pentimento o al rimorso, porta il lettore a mettere in discussione il desiderio di perdono di Moll. Ella è dunque un personaggio ambivalente. Dal punto di vista degli storici, Moll Flanders fornisce notevoli informazioni su vita, abitudini e punizioni del mondo criminale.

Members Reviews:

oh my

Now I know the plot of this story. Just a complicated love story set in the age of 1812.

Damn it!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Damn it! I did the same thing. They don't show you reviews or anything before purchase. I wanted the entire version and am disappointed to say the least.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

What would have made War and Peace better?

Silly me! I didn't notice till after purchasing that this reading is only about 45 minutes long. Thought I was going to get to hear the whole book.

What was most disappointing about Leo Tolstoys story?

Any additional comments?

I think this book should have been advertised more clearly that it was just a very thin slice of the whole cheese!

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die Klasse fährt in ein Zeltlager, in dem die Schüler zwecks Wehrübungen kampieren. Dort wird ein Schüler hinterrücks erschlagen. Der Verdacht fällt auf einen Jungen, dessen Tagebuch der Lehrer heimlich aufgebrochen und gelesen hatte. Darin beschreibt der Junge seine Liebschaft mit der Anführerin einer Jugendbande. Der Lehrer steckt in einem Gewissenskonflikt: Hört er auf seine innere Stimme, erzählt von seinem Delikt und bringt sich damit um seine Anstellung - oder schweigt er. Es kommt zum Gerichtsprozess und der Lehrer muss Stellung beziehen.

Gemeinsam mit dem "Klub" einem kleinen, verschworenen Kreis von Schülern versucht der Lehrer die Wahrheit über den Mord herauszufinden.

Mitglieder Bewertungen:

The indoctrination of German youth in the 1930's

This is the first Horváth book I've read, and I was really taken by it. For those who are interested in gaining an insight into the mindset of the 1930's German youth, this book will be of great interest. The narrative is in the first person, told from the perspective of a high school teacher who loses the respect of most of his class after he openly admonishes a student who had made a racist remark in an essay. A series of events during a class paramilitary camping trip lead the teacher, an ostensible atheist, to reexamine his moral and spiritual values.

There are themes in the book, published in 1937, that are eerily similar to those of Orwell's 1984, which was published some 12 years later. These include pervasive propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and the militarization/desensitization of the youth. Unlike 1984, this dystopia was real and led to a generation of soldiers whose rampage across Europe caused the deaths of tens of millions. For those who want an even deeper insight into the brainwashing of German youth during the 1930's, try to get a copy of Erika Mann's "Zehn Millionen Kinder. Die Erziehung der Jugend im Dritten Reich". This is a non-fictional account of what was happening in that period.

For German learners, I would rate this book at the intermediate level. Horváth's sentences tend to be quite short and he revisits the same themes frequently.

Great book by Ödön

What a great book, given the time (1937) and circumstances it was written in. And how close we are getting to much that is written in this book. It seems like we are entering a "Zeitalter der Fische- age of the fishes" again, with all the media and internet craziness going on.

Starting to read the books I had to read in high school some 30 years ago, I really enjoyed this book a lot. Next up, his "Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald)
