Title: The Satires

Author: Horace

Narrator: Charlton Griffin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-16-16

Publisher: Audio Connoisseur

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Classics, Greek & Roman

Publisher's Summary:

Quintus Horatius Flaccus was born on December 8, 65 BC in the southeastern region of Hellenized Italy. He died on November 27, 8 BC. Horace was the son of a freedman of modest means. In the civil war between Antony and Octavian, he threw in his lot with Antony and fled along with the rest upon their defeat at Phillipi in 42 BC. His subsequent discovery by Maecenas and eventual rehabilitation with the Augustan regime was one of history's most fortunate reconciliations.

Horace developed a number of interrelated themes throughout his career, including politics, love, philosophy, ethics, his own social role, and poetry itself. The Satires are forms of "blame poetry", and both have a natural affinity with the moralizing diatribes of Cynicism. The Satires include a strong element of Epicureanism, with frequent allusions to the Epicurean poet Lucretius. The Satires also feature some elements of Stoic, Peripatetic, and Platonic dialogues. In short, The Satires present a medley of philosophical programs, dished up in no particular order...a style of argument typical of the genre.

Riepilogo Editore:

Scritta da Virgilio tra il 29 e il 19 A. C., nei primi anni del regno di Augusto, l'Eneide chiude il ciclo epico degli eroi iniziato da Omero con l'Iliade e l'Odissea. Fu proprio l'imperatore Augusto, il committente dell'opera, a salvarla dalle fiamme, come Virgilio aveva disposto nel suo testamento. Il più importante poema di tutta la latinità narra l'avventuroso arrivo nel Lazio di Enea e dei pochi superstiti dalla distruzione di Troia, ai quali gli dèi hanno affidato il compito di fondare una nuova patria. Il poema si sviluppa fra tempeste marine, lutti atroci, amori tragici e sanguinose battaglie che vedono coinvolti straordinari personaggi: la Sibilla, la regina Didone, Polidoro, Caronte, Eurialo e Niso, la guerriera Camilla, il re Latino, sua figlia Lavinia, Turno, oltre naturalmente ad Enea e suo figlio Ascanio (Iulo) dai quali prende origine la stirpe Giulia che avrebbe dato vita alla grandezza di Roma. L'audiolibro propone la versione integrale del poema, appositamente tradotto in una prosa fluida e scorrevole, rendendolo così accessibile a tutti.

My New Favorite

Fell in love with this story of overcoming oneself. Wonderfully rich characters. The narration was good enough to follow and hold my attention. This was a perfect choice for a long car trip. Would be great for occasion really.

Fantastic!

This is absolutely one of the best stories I have ever heard! The wonderful narration and exquisite story line took me away to my own secret garden where I experienced emotional highs unlike any I have previously known.

Loved it when young and when oldish

Great listen! If you are in the mood for a kindly story with a happy ending - listen to this with your children - or grandchildren.

Excellent performance to listen to!

I had never read this classic and find audio books a great way to take them in. This performance was outstanding. The story makes use of dialects and I don't think I could have done it justice -- or maybe even had the patience -- if I were reading the printed book. The narrator was outstanding and the story was very sweet.

Yes! It is magic!

I'm so happy as this is my first time to complete an English book!

I've watch the movies before and finally started to read the original book. And yes! It is a book with full beauty and magic. Especially when reading some descriptions of food and garden, I indeed want to experience personally.Btw, I enjoyed listening to the narrator speaking Yorkshire( ')

Titolo: L'asino d'oro [The Golden Ass]

Autore: Apuleius

Narratore: Silvia Cecchini

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 8 hrs and 26 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 07-09-15

Editore: Collina d'oro

Categoria: Classics, Greek & Roman

Riepilogo Editore:

Le metamorfosi o L'asino d'oro (Asinus aureus), è un'opera di Lucio Apuleio, del II secolo d. CE' l'unico romanzo antico latino pervenuto interamente ad oggi. Nel 158 l'autore fu processato per magia,e nel suo discorso difensivo egli non citò quest'opera , che pure tratta di magia, di qui si deduce che l'opera sia successiva a quella data. Il libro è costituito da un soggetto principale, Lucio, e della sua metamorfosi in un asino a seguito di un esperimento non andato a buon fine. È questo l'episodio-chiave del romanzo, che muove il resto dell'intreccio: il secondo livello narrativo è costituito dalle peripezie dell'asino che, nell'attesa di riassumere le sembianze umane, si vede passare di mano in mano, mantenendo però raziocinio umano e riportando le sue molteplici disavventure. Una di queste digressioni, la favola di Amore e Psiche, costituisce un piano narrativo a sé. Per tutto il romanzo si alternano vari generi letterari, l'epico, il tragico, il comico, tenuti insieme dal fil rouge delle riflessioni dell'asino che sono un vero e proprio percorso di conoscenza. Del resto, il tema della metamorfosi è ricorrente, in letteratura, e l'Asino d'oro ne è uno dei primi esempi. Il testo letto è stato tradotto da Felice Martini, per Formiggini Editore, 1927.

Publisher's Summary:

Rolf, son of Hiarandi the Unlucky, is a character who exemplifies the effect of Christ's teachings upon the Icelandic people during their heroic age. The book is set in Iceland in the days when Christianity has come to the island though the old customs still linger. Hiarandi, at the urging of his wife, does an unprecedented thing: he lights a signal fire on a dangerous point of his land, thereby challenging the accepted custom which places lucrative salvage at higher value than the saving of life. However, the life that is saved that night causes his own death and the unjust outlawing of his son Rolf. Rolf's response to this injustice creates a suspenseful, thought-provoking tale difficult to put down.

Members Reviews:

Good yet long

Fascinating detail but one must listen very intently. Vocabulary is hard to understand as much of it is foreign, but you can catch on IF you listen well. GREAT moral and for this I rate it 4stars. But the story kept going and going and going and for this I gave it a 3.

Great light read!

Entertaining the whole way through! I was hoping for more in the series; then I realized the author was from the 1800's!

Riepilogo Editore:

"ll vero vincere, sta nel persuadere gli altri e non nell'imporre la propria decisione con la violenza. Il vero vincere sta nel convincere."

Questa è soltanto una delle celebri frasi racchiuse in questa versione AudioBook del "Critone" di Platone, che in questo famoso dialogo riporta la cronaca dell'estremo colloquio tra Critone, appunto e Socrate. Il vecchio filosofo imprigionato ingiustamente e condannato a morte, rifiuta il piano di evasione che l'amico gli offre, disquisendo sui suoi principi e i suoi comportamenti, la sua moralità ineccepibile, e sul valore, per lui fondamentale, della coerenza.

Socrate continua a filosofare in modo lucido anche prima di morire, la sua straordinaria tesi sulla non violenza, sarà d'ispirazione per le civiltà che verranno, e così è ancora.
