Members Reviews:

It does give a good history of the various versions of the book and ...

It's hard to figure out which part of this is the actual writing and which is a narrative about the writing. It also goes into a lot of Chines Dynasty history that I wasn't too interested in delving as deep as it got. It does give a good history of the various versions of the book and who may or may not have written it.

Great book.

To defeat your neighbor (LOL)

Proof of Chinese wisdom.

The true art will be not to have wars at all.

Five Stars

Great read and commentary on the classic war strategy book that offers advice applicable to any facet of life.

Boldface type makes it work

This is the only copy of the art of war that I've come across which provides the original text in boldface type so that you can read it that having to wait three pages and pages of commentary .

Five Stars

I would enjoy a modern treatise of this book

Title: The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales

Author: Erika Eichenseer, Franz Xaver von Schonwerth, Maria Tatar

Narrator: Heather Wilds

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-16-15

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

In the 1850s, Franz Xaver von Schönwerth traversed the forests, lowlands, and mountains of Northern Bavaria to record fairy tales, gaining the admiration of even the Brothers Grimm. Most of Schönwerth's work was lost until a few years ago, when 30 boxes of manuscripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. Now, for the first time, Schönwerth's lost fairy tales are available in English.

Violent, dark, and full of action, and upending the relationship between damsels in distress and their dragon-slaying heroes, these more than 70 stories bring us closer than ever to the unadorned oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted, revolutionizing our understanding of a hallowed genre.

Critic Reviews:

"The tales are vigorous, direct, and less artful then those of the Grimms, suggesting greater authenticity, closer to the source." (Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

loved the stories

loved all the stories, they were also short enough to easily listen to whenever and wherever.

Titolo: Venere in pelliccia

Autore: Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch

Narratore: Ruggero Andreozzi, Cristiana Rossi, Alessandro Zurla, Marco Zanni

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 2 hrs and 46 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 05-18-15

Editore: GoodMood

Categoria: Classics, World Literature

Riepilogo Editore:

L'amore ha molte sfaccettature, o sfumature, come in un celebre romanzo erotico che racconta una di una relazione amorosa e di possesso assoluto. Allo stesso modo, "Venere in pelliccia" narra una vicenda che affronta gli aspetti più nascosti e patologici dell'amore: la relazione di sottomissione e sudditanza totale di un uomo nei confronti della donna che ama, che diventa la sua padrona.

Per Severin, il protagonista di questa straordinaria versione Audiobook sceneggiata del romanzo, l'umiliazione è eccitazione, la sofferenza è soddisfazione erotica, le frustate sono l'estasi. Negli scioccanti dialoghi tra lui, la vittima, e Emilienne, la padrona, trapela in modo esplicito la sua necessità del dolore fisico, unico mezzo per raggiungere il godimento sessuale.

Scritto alla fine del 1.800 da Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, "Venere in pelliccia" è il capostipite non solo di un certo genere letterario erotico, ma anche di un vero e proprio orientamento sessuale, il sadomasochismo.

Questo titolo contiene materiale non adatto ai minori di 18 anni. Audible consiglia l'ascolto ad un pubblico adulto.

Members Reviews:

A lot left out.

This translation leaves out a great deal of the detail. But it is easier to comprehend and maintains a central theme which can get lost in a more literal translation.

Titel: Die Reise nach Brobdingnag

Autor:: Jonathan Swift

Erzähler: Karlheinz Gabor

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 1 hr and 35 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-17-14

Herausgeber: Audio Media Digital

Kategorien: Classics, World Literature

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

In Brobdingnag sind nicht nur die Menschen riesig, sondern auch die ganze Natur ist hier viel größer als Lemuel Gulliver selbst. Von einem schweren Sturm vom Kurs abgetrieben, legt das Beiboot seines Schiffes an einer Insel an, um Frischwasser zu holen. Gullivers Gefährten flüchten vor einem Riesen und lassen ihn zurück, worauf er bald von Einheimischen entdeckt wird. Die Durchschnittsgröße der riesigen Inselbewohner beträgt ungefähr 18 Meter.

Von einem Pächter wird Gulliver zunächst gegen Geld ausgestellt, bevor er an das Königshaus in Lorbrulgrud, der Hauptstadt von Brobdingnag, verkauft wird. Gulliver trägt aufgrund seiner geringen Körpergröße zur Hofbelustigung bei, wird jedoch mit Achtung behandelt. Gulliver erzählt dem König von seiner Heimat England und von den Verhältnissen im derzeitigen Europa, was beim König viel Kritik hervorruft. Gulliver wäre bereit, dem König das Geheimnis der Herstellung von Schwarzpulver zu offenbaren, doch dieser lehnt das empört ab. Als sich Gulliver nahe der Küste aufhält, wird die Schachtel, die Gulliver zum Reisen dient, von einem Adler auf das offene Meer hinausgetragen. Nachdem der Adler die Schachtel fallengelassen hat, wird Gulliver von Menschen seiner Welt auf einem ganz normal großen Schiff gerettet.
