    Author: Stephen Mitchell
    Narrator: George Guidall
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 4 hrs and 5 mins

    Publisher's Summary:
    In the ancient city of Uruk, the tyrannical King Gilgamesh tramples citizens "like a wild bull". The gods send an untamed man named Enkidu to control the ruthless king, but after fighting, Enkidu and Gilgamesh become great friends and embark on a series of adventures. They kill fearsome creatures before Enkidu succumbs to disease, leaving Gilgamesh despondent and alone. Eventually, Gilgamesh moves forward, and his quest becomes a soul-searching journey of self-discovery.
    Mitchell's treatment of this extraordinary work is the finest yet, surpassing previous versions in its preservation of the wisdom and beauty of the original.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Stephen Mitchell's Gilgamesh is a wonderful version....This is certainly the best that I have seen in English." (Harold Bloom)
    "Here is a flowing, unbroken version that reads as effortlessly as a novel....Vibrant, earnest, unfussibly accesible....The muscular eloquence and rousing simplicity of Mitchell's four-beat line effectively unleashes the grand vehemence of the epic's battle scenes." (The New York Times Book Review)
    "Mitchell seeks language that is as swift and strong as the story itself. He conveys the evenhanded generosity of the original poet....This wonderful new version of the story of Gilgamesh shows how the story came to achieve literary immortality: not because it is a rare ancient artifact, but because reading it can make people in the here and now feel more completely alive." (Publishers Weekly)

  • The Castle Audiobook by Franz Kafka

    Title: The Castle
    Author: Franz Kafka
    Narrator: George Guidall
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins
    Language: English
    Release date: 06-17-04
    Publisher: Recorded Books
    Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 133 votes
    Genres: Classics, World Literature
    Publisher's Summary:
    On his deathbed, Franz Kafka asked that all his unpublished manuscripts be burned. Fortunately, his request was ignored, allowing such works as The Trial to earn recognition among the literary masterpieces of the 20th century. This brilliant new translation of The Castle captures comedic elements and visual imagery that earlier interpretations missed. A traveler known only as K. is promised a job as land-surveyor by officials of the Castle. But when K. arrives in town to claim his position, he learns that owing to a clerical error, his services aren't needed after all. Seeking an explanation, K. endures increasingly frustrating setbacks as he strives in vain to simply make contact with someone, anyone, from the Castle. Saturated with absurdist humor, this haunting novel has fascinated and puzzled readers throughout the world. Some critics praise it as the century's great religious parable, while others interpret it as indisputably antireligious. Critically acclaimed narrator George Guidall sheds light on this dreamlike tale, illuminating the limitless nuances of Kafka's writing.

    Author: Tobias Smollett (translator), Miguel de Cervantes
    Narrator: Robert Whitfield
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 36 hrs and 7 mins

    Genres: Classics, World Literature
    Publisher's Summary:
    Don Quixote is one of the world's first novels and by far the best-known book in Spanish literature, was originally intended by Cervantes as a satire on traditional popular ballads, yet he also parodied the romances of chivalry. By happy coincidence he produced one of the most entertaining adventure stories of all time and, in Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, two of the greatest characters in fiction.

    Genres: Classics, World Literature
    Publisher's Summary:
    Despite the harsh circumstances besetting his own life - abject poverty, incessant gambling, and the death of his firstborn child - Dostoevsky produced a second masterpiece, The Idiot, just two years after completing Crime and Punishment. In it, a saintly man, Prince Myshkin, is thrust into the heart of a society more concerned with wealth, power, and sexual conquest than the ideals of Christianity. Myshkin soon finds himself at the center of a violent love triangle in which a notorious woman and a beautiful young girl become rivals for his affections. Extortion, scandal, and murder follow, testing the wreckage left by human misery to find "man in man."

    Critic Reviews:
    "Nothing is outside Dostoevsky's province....Out of Shakespeare there is no more exciting reading." (Virginia Woolf)

    This is what may be described as the bad-day book of the Bible. King Solomon held onto the greatest wisdom of his generation, but after all his work, and at the end of his life, he saw all his life's work as "Madness and folly". The wise king would learn that even in these down days there is a plan. There is a purpose. No matter what he felt there was something greater than he could see. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.

    Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:
    Aljoschas Gemütsstimmung war beim Verlassen des väterlichen Hauses noch trüber und gedrückter als bei seiner Ankunft. Auch sein Denken war sozusagen zerstückelt und zersplittert, während er doch gleichzeitig Furcht davor verspürte, das Zerstückelte zu vereinigen, aus den qualvollen Widersprüchen, die er an diesem Tag durchlebt hatte, die einheitliche Idee herauszufinden. Sein Zustand grenzte beinahe an Verzweiflung. Alle anderen Fragen überragten wie ein Berg die verhängnisvolle, unlösbare Hauptfrage: Wie wird die Spannung zwischen dem Vater und dem Bruder Dmitri wegen dieser schrecklichen Frau enden...?
