Don't buy this version.

Great novel---Don't buy this version.

Unless you really hate the German alphabet and prefer 'ae' to an 'ä', 'ss' to an 'ß', etc. and would prefer to have none of the original page breaks / chapters, avoid this version.

Seriously illegible in this format.

Titel: Professor Unrat

Autor:: Heinrich Mann

Erzähler: Dieter Mann

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 7 hrs and 58 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 10-19-05

Herausgeber: Argon Verlag

Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 1 Stimmen

Kategorien: Classics, World Literature

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Heinrich Manns 1905 erschienener Roman Professor Unrat ist eine deutliche Kritik an der Scheinheiligkeit und Dekadenz des wilhelminischen Bürgertums. Der sprachliche Witz und die feine Zeichnung der Charaktere haben Manns Satire zu einem zeitlosen Klassiker gemacht. Der Roman wurde 1931 mit Marlene Dietrich unter dem Titel "Der blaue Engel" verfilmt.

Ich hatte heute morgen Migrane.

Professor Unrat (German Edition) by Heinrich Mann (Jun 1, 1994)

Picked this up as I was considering calling my new VW (blue) Der Blaue Engel and before I got used to that as a nick name wanted to check the hidden implications. Saw the connection with the movie and then this book and decided it would probably be a bad move to make that sort of association.

Ich weiss bei Gott nicht mehr, was los ist. Ich hatte heute morgen Migrane. (!)

Title: The Gambler

Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky

Narrator: Walter Zimmerman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-18-04

Publisher: Jimcin Recordings

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 26 votes

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

In this dark and compelling short novel, Fyodor Dostoevsky tells the story of Alexey Ivanovitch, a young tutor working in the household of an imperious Russian general. Alexey tries to break through the wall of the established order in Russia, but instead becomes mired in the endless downward spiral of betting and loss. His intense and inescapable addiction is accentuated by his affair with the general's cruel yet seductive niece, Polina. In The Gambler, Dostoevsky reaches the height of drama with this stunning psychological portrait.

Editorial Reviews:

In Fyodor Dostoevsky's novella, Alexei Ivanovich is the tutor of a Russian family living in Germany. The General, the head of the family, is in debt, and knowing this, his niece Polina puts Alexei onto a life of gambling. Walter Zimmerman has a wonderfully terse style that fits Dostoevsky's marvelous prose, while also using a variety of accents when giving voice to the multitude of characters, making each one as distinct and memorable as Dostoevsky's narrative. The Gambler is a powerful portrait of Ivanovich's addictions to gambling and love, and the thrilling highs and crippling despair that come with both.

Members Reviews:

great read

I am new to audible.com. I drive for a living so listening to tapes passes the time. I joined audible because my Libary did not have 'The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky' in the system. I have long been a Dostoevsky fan no one writes like him.

I highly recommend this book.

Not recommended

I found this book boring, offering little in the way insights into gambling. And generally the story was lacking. Maybe the translation was a problem. At any rate I found the narration was not the best one could hope for.

There are far better audiobooks available on this site. I suggest skip this one unless you are desperate for something relying on the reputation of Dostoevsky.

great book // lousy reader

The gambler is one of the great classics. However most pleasure was spoilt by a hasty, untrained, dull reader. I have no idea why such bad quality is included in a commercial product. I do not recommend this title therefore.

Good Story

What didnt you like about Walter Zimmermans performance?

The quality of the audio is poor.

It changes volume and sound quality.

The speech is stilted and short.

Titolo: Le avventure di Robinson Crusoe

Autore: Daniel Defoe

Narratore: Silvia Cecchini

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 10 hrs and 49 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 05-10-16

Editore: Collina d'oro

Categoria: Classics, World Literature

Riepilogo Editore:

Daniel Defoe, ritenuto uno dei padri del romanzo inglese, ebbe una vita avventurosa quasi quanto quella del protagonista del suo romanzo più famoso. Morì a 71 anni, nel 1731, ad un'età in cui, ancora, Robinson correva per il mondo, visto che nel suo diario si legge che divenne assennato a settantadue anni.

Naufragato su un'isola deserta e costretto alla solitudine per ventisette anni, Robinson riconosce gli errori della sua vita e acquista saggezza e maturità, anche se non sufficienti ad impedirgli, a sessantun anni, ormai ricco e padre di famiglia, di ascoltare la voce della sua smania di avventura. Ormai viaggiatore di professione, la seconda parte del libro narra le sue peripezie in oriente, in Cina e nel paese dei Tartari.

Cornice musicale: Alessandro Scarlatti, concerto grosso in fa maggiore.

Title: The Canterville Ghost

Author: Oscar Wilde

Narrator: Edward Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-16

Publisher: Audioliterature

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

The home of the Canterville Ghost was the ancient Canterville Chase, which has all the accoutrements of a traditional haunted house. Descriptions of the wainscoting, the library paneled in black oak, and the armor in the hallway characterize the setting.

Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies... A classic by a master, Wilde defuses the horror elements with his wonderful humor and intelligence!

Members Reviews:

I finally understand it now as an adult.

I read this over and over in sixth grade. I don't think it's meant for teenagers. I recently downloaded it to my phone as a free classic, and read it all in a half hour and derived much more pleasure from it now than I did then.

The Ghost was not a nice guy, but a practical American family who aren't afraid of him, and their stalwart, beautiful daughter help him to grow as person (it's never too late to mature!) and to attain salvation.

I'm not a weeper, but I had to cry a little bit over this one.

Cute Ghost Story!

What a cute little story this was! Someone over at Booklikes recommended it to me, and I'm so glad I followed through.

The Canterville Ghost is not scary at all, but it IS funny and as the story goes on, rather pitiful. I found myself laughing at some portions and then all but shedding a tear towards the end.

This is a short story which is available for free, or at least this version is, at Amazon, and you can add the Audio for a nominal fee.

Quite Enjoyable!

It was nice to read the story of The Centerville Ghost and to laugh at his attempts to scare the American family, it was quite different from the film versions of the story and yet it was moving in its own unique way, I look forward to reading it again.

The Canterville Ghost...

Very quick read. A bit disappointing, I didn't know it was more satirical than scary. Though I'm glad to be reading books that weren't part of the approved book list in school.

Sweet satire tale with dry humor

I love British people. I love their writings, their funny accent and their attitude. But the one thing they almost never do well is portray Americans as people who are not the villains. In Wilde's case, I make an exception.

The story opens with the family of an American minister who have come to England for his work and purchased a very old mansion from a poor family of nobles. The family consists of the father, mother the oldest son, a daughter and twin sons. They each have their own personality quirks and faults, but also their good points. The Americans' attitudes are used to create some humor for the reader at times, like (SMALL SPOILER) when they use a patent stain remover to get rid of a bloodstain that no one has been able to remove for over four centuries. The British servants at the hall are horrified and predict a grave future for the Americans who dare to disturb the stain, but none of the Americans seem very much bothered by their superstition. In fact, the family treats the whole ghost incident with such nonchalantness that the ghost believes he is losing his powers to frighten!

Which brings us to the ghost himself. His history is the turning device of much of the plot, so I'll try not to give anything away.
