A projected visit to the lighthouse forms the heart of this extraordinary novel which, through the minds of the various characters, explores the nature of time, memory, transience and eternity.

Title: Justine

Author: Lawrence Durrell

Narrator: Nigel Anthony

Format: Abridged

Length: 03:59:00

Language: English

Release date: 04-03-95

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Justine is the first volume in The Alexandria Quartet, four interlinked novels set in the sensuous, hot environment of Alexandria just before the Second World War. Within this polyglot setting of richly idiosyncratic characters is Justine, wild and intense, wife to the wealthy business man Nessim, a mari complaisant. Her emotional and sexual wildness fuels a highly-charged atmosphere which, caught famously by Durrell's poetic language, made Justine (1957), and the three novels that complete the Quartet - Balthazar (1958), Mountolive (1958), and Clea (1960) both a critical and a popular success.

Title: Ulysses

Author: James Joyce

Narrator: Jim Norton, Marcella Riordan

Format: Abridged

Length: 04:51:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-04-94

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Ulysses is one of the greatest literary works in the English language. In his remarkable tour de force, Joyce catalogues one day - June 16 1904 - in immense detail as Leopold Bloom wanders through Dublin, talking, observing, musing - and always remembering Molly, his passionate, wayward wife. Set in the shadow of Homer's Odyssey, internal thoughts - Joyce's famous stream of consciousness - give physical reality extra colour and perspective. Though Ulysses is widely regarded as a 'difficult' novel, this fresh and lively reading shows its comic genius as well as its great moments of poignancy, making it more accessible than ever before.

Title: Paradise Lost

Author: John Milton

Narrator: Anton Lesser

Format: Abridged

Length: 03:57:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-94

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

'Of Man's First Disobedience, and the Fruit of the Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste Brought Death into the World, and all our woe...' Paradise Lost is the greatest epic poem in the English language. In words remarkable for their richness of rhythm and imagery, Milton tells the story of Man's creation, fall and redemption - to 'justify the ways of God to men'. Milton produced characters which have become embedded in the consciousness of English literature - the frail, human pair, Adam and Eve; the terrible cohort of fallen angels; and Satan, tragic and heroic in his unremitting quest for revenge. The tale unfolds from the aftermath of the great battle between good and evil to the moving departure of Adam and Eve from Eden, with human and eternal anguish intertwined in magnificent resonance.

Title: Orlando

Author: Virginia Woolf

Narrator: Laura Paton, Nicolas Soames

Format: Abridged

Length: 02:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-94

Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Orlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature. He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920s. For Virginia Woolf, a leading figure of the Bloomsbury Group, Orlando was more than a fantastic flight of imagination. It was a roman clef, a love letter for her lover, the charismatic, eccentric bisexual, Vita Sackville West. Orlando's journey, from wondrous youth barbed by love, to fted writer, settled in her femininity, is a wild and curiously relevant fable for our times.
