Title: Heart of Darkness

Author: Joseph Conrad

Narrator: Bob Neufeld

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-12-17

Publisher: SAGA Egmont

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Before its 1902 publication, "Heart of Darkness" appeared as a three part series (1899) in "Blackwood's Magazine". It was classified by the Modern Library website editors as one of the "100 best novels" and part of the Western canon.

The story centers on Charles Marlow, who narrates most of the book. He is an Englishman who takes a foreign assignment from a Belgian trading company as a river boat captain in Africa.

"Heart of Darkness" exposes the dark side of European colonization while exploring the three levels of darkness that the protagonist, Marlow, encounters: the darkness of the Congo wilderness, the darkness of the Europeans' cruel treatment of the African natives, and the unfathomable darkness within every human being for committing heinous acts of evil.

Although Conrad does not give the name of the river, at the time of writing the Congo Free State, the location of the large and important Congo River, was a private colony of Belgium's King Leopold II. In the story, Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver. However, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization, in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

Publisher's Summary:

"Pride and Prejudice" is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th century England.

Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

Riepilogo Editore:

A Barcellona una mattina d'estate del 1945 il proprietario di un negozio di libri usati conduce il figlio undicenne, Daniel, al Cimitero dei Libri Dimenticati, un luogo segreto dove vengono sottratti all'oblio migliaia di volumi di cui il tempo ha cancellato il ricordo. E qui Daniel entra in possesso di un libro "maledetto" che cambierà il corso della sua vita. Perché dal passato iniziano a emergere storie di passioni illecite, di amori impossibili, di amicizie e lealtà assolute, di follia omicida, e un macabro segreto custodito in una villa abbandonata. Una storia in cui Daniel ritrova a poco a poco inquietanti paralleli con la propria vita.

Mystery, romanzo storico e tragedia amorosa, "L'ombra del vento" fa rivivere la grande tradizione del feuilleton ottocentesco con una sensibilità squisitamente contemporanea. Clamoroso caso editoriale, è il libro che ha imposto Zafón sulla scena internazionale, e da allora non ha smesso di stregare milioni di lettori in tutto il mondo.

Prodotto e realizzato da Emons, per conto di Mondadori.

Title: A Modest Proposal

Author: Jonathan Swift

Narrator: John Gonzales

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-12-17

Publisher: SAGA Egmont

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Jonathan Swift almost defines satire in his biting and brutal pamphlet in which he suggests that poor (Catholic) Irish families should fatten up their children and sell them to the rich (Protestant) land owners, thus solving the twin problems of starving children and poverty in one blow. When the "Proposal" was published in 1729, Swift was quickly attacked, and even accused of barbarity - the exact state the "Proposal" was written to expose.

Title: Jane Eyre

Author: Charlotte Brontë

Narrator: Elizabeth Klett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-29-17

Publisher: SAGA Egmont

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes Jane Eyre as an "influential feminist text" because of its in depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto feminism.

Title: Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, Beyond the Pleasure Principle, The Ego and the Id

Author: Sigmund Freud

Narrator: Derek Le Page

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-14-17

Publisher: Ukemi Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Here are three key works by Sigmund Freud which, published in the first decades of the 20th century, underpinned his developing views and had such a dramatic effect on world society. In the uncompromising Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905), he declared that 'sexual aberrations' are not limited to the insane but exist in 'normal' people to a greater or lesser degree. The three essays are divided between sexual perversions, childhood sexuality and puberty. Twenty-first century society has opened and developed the subject considerably, but it is still salutary to return to one of the most important early discussions. Freud presents the force of the unconscious in the sexual instinct and complexes such as the castration complex and the Oedipus complex, the latter of which he first noted in The Interpretation of Dreams. In Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) Freud corrects his earlier view that libido or sexual drive is the overwhelming force behind human activity. Now he balances the drive of 'Eros' with 'Thanatos', the destruction or death principle. Along with the pleasure principle, he argues, there lies a tendency for people to self-harm in many ways, either literally or by replaying painful events or thoughts of the past - deliberately invoking 'unpleasure' (psychological discomfort or pain). Beyond the Pleasure Principle remains one of the most criticised texts in the Freud oeuvre.

In The Ego and the Id (1923), Freud outlined his study of the human psyche, the result of many years of psychoanalytical practice. Based on the concepts of the 'conscious' and 'unconscious', three elements in the psychic apparatus come into play - the id (instinctual trends), the superego (the critical and moralising role) and the ego (the more conscious control that decides between the two). In the recording, the three works presented here are not only of interest in themselves but show the developing nature of Freud's thought and work over two decades. They are read clearly by Derek Le Page.

Title: Persuasion

Author: Jane Austen

Narrator: Helen Stainer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-05-17

Publisher: Audioliterature

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

"Persuasion" is the last novel of Jane Austen's.

As the Napoleonic Wars come to an end in 1814, Admirals and Captains of the Royal Navy are put ashore, their work done. Anne Elliot meets Captain Frederick Wentworth after seven years, by the chance of his sister and brother-in-law renting her father's estate, while she stays for a few months with her married sister, living nearby. They fell in love the first time they met, but she broke off the engagement...

Besides the theme of persuasion, the novel evokes other topics, with which Austen was familiar: the Royal Navy, in which two of Jane Austen's brothers rose to the rank of admiral; and the superficial social life of Bath.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Russie, début du XIXe siècle. À l'Ouest de l'Empire, les guerres napoléoniennes font rage et se rapprochent dangereusement des frontières. De Moscou à Saint-Pétersbourg, la noblesse et la grande bourgeoisie vivent inconscientes du danger, et organisent dîners et bals. Ainsi le comte Rostov qui s'apprête à célébrer la fête de sa fille Natacha ; du prince André Bolkonski et de sa jeune épouse, Lise, enceinte ; de Pierre, fils illégitime du comte Besouklov ; de Nicolas Rostov et de sa cousine Sonia, follement épris l'un de l'autre... Leurs vies insouciantes vont bientôt basculer à l'annonce de l'entrée en guerre de la Russie aux côtés de l'Autriche. Aux joies futiles de la paix vont bientôt succéder les affres et les souffrances de la guerre, aux ors des bals, le rouge du sang et aux musiques des danses celui du canon et de la mitraille.

Guerre et Paix a été consacré comme le meilleur roman de tous les temps.
