Title: Nostromo

Author: Joseph Conrad

Narrator: Nigel Anthony

Format: Abridged

Length: 07:36:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-24-08

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Set in the fictional South American country of Costaguana, Nostromo explores the volatile politics and crippling greed surrounding the San Tomé silver mine. The story of power, love, revolutions, loyalty and reward is told with richly evocative description and brilliantly realised characters. But Nostromo is more than an adventure story; it is also a profoundly dark moral fable. Its language is as compellingly resonant as the sea itself; the characters absorbing and complex. It was Conrad's masterwork, a forerunner of Modernism, and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Summary:

Just before the First World War, the Ramsay family go to their holiday home in the Hebrides, bringing several guests with them. While they are there, one of the children wants to visit a lighthouse. After a ten year gap, during which the war wreaks its havoc on Europe, one of the guests returns to the house; and another trip to the lighthouse is proposed. Told from multiple viewpoints, in language that is precise, delicate and allusive, To The Lighthouse gives unprecedented insight into the minds of the characters, as well as telling a broader story of personal and social change in the world after the war. To The Lighthouse is a landmark work of English fiction. Virginia Woolf explores perception and meaning in some of the most beautiful prose ever written, minutely detailing the characters thoughts and impressions.

Title: Wealth of Nations

Author: Adam Smith

Narrator: Sean Barrett

Format: Abridged

Length: 07:04:02

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-08

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Non-Fiction, Lectures

Summary:

It was Adam Smith (1723'90) who first established economics as a separate branch of knowledge, and many would say his work has never been surpassed. The Wealth of Nations, which appeared in 1776, is the definitive text for all who believe that economic decisions are best left to markets, not governments. At the heart of Smith's doctrine is an optimistic view of the effects of self-interest. Though each individual seeks only personal gain, the collective result is increased prosperity, which benefits society as a whole.

Title: Our Mutual Friend

Author: Charles Dickens

Narrator: David Timson

Format: Abridged

Length: 11:51:21

Language: English

Release date: 03-13-08

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Out of the dust-heaps and dirty streets of mid-Victorian London Dickens creates a classic murder-mystery tale. A dead man is fished out of the Thames by a scavenger and his daughter. Who is he, and how did he get there? His death affects members of all levels of a society permeated by greed. Dickens presents an array of characters both touching and humorous from Mr. Boffin, the 'Golden' Dustman, to Jenny Wren the lame doll's dress-maker. It is a story enriched by disguise and intrigue, whilst the River Thames, symbolising both polluted and renewed life weaves through it all, in this, the last novel Dickens completed.

Title: Great Poets

Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley

Narrator: Bertie Carvel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:19:00

Language: English

Release date: 03-01-08

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

Idealist, atheist, outcast, political radical and, of course, poet - Percy Bysshe Shelley was, in many ways, the epitome of the Romantic artist. His poetry was an outlet for his passionately-held and highly unpopular beliefs; beliefs which resulted in social exclusion, exile, and possibly even his premature death at the age of twenty-nine. His work is a monument to his convictions and to the power of the human spirit, and today it is recognised as a key contribution to Romantic literature. This anthology contains many of his best-known poems, including Ozymandias, The Mask of Anarchy and To a Skylark, as well as excerpts from (among others) Prometheus Unbound and Adonas, all read by Bertie Carvel, one of the most talented English actors of his generation.

Title: Aristotle: An Introduction

Author: Hugh Griffith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:03:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-01-08

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Non-Fiction, Lectures

Summary:

No thinker has had a more profound influence on western civilisation than Aristotle. Whether we realise it or not, his work has been one of the main props of our culture for over two thousand years. Underlying all of it is a conviction that system and order can be found to govern everything, even human conduct. In the Ethics and Politics Aristotle examines what is the best kind of life, and what is the best kind of society for making this possible.
