Title: Jane Eyre [Blackstone Edition]

Author: Charlotte Brontë

Narrator: Nadia May

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-19-09

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Genres: Classics, World Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Orphaned and subjected to cruelty at Lowood charity school, Jane nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. The story of how Jane becomes governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her by Victorian society.

Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as "the masterwork of a great genius," this impassioned love story is still regarded, more than a century later, as one of the finest novels in literature.

Critic Reviews:

"What a joy to hear a favorite classic performed with excellence! Nadia May's skill as a storyteller has the listener soon believing Jane Eyre is speaking directly to him or her.... A timeless work flawlessly presented." - (

The perfect Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre tells her own story--how independent she is in ways unexpected for the time period! Because the book unfolds in the first person, the narrator has to be good in order to bring Jane to life. Nadia May has recorded many of Jane Austen and George Eliot's novels and her nuanced readings are a delight. I loved this version of an old classic.

i love nadia may

What made the experience of listening to Jane Eyre [Blackstone Edition] the most enjoyable?

nadia may is a great narrator for anything british. I have this audio book w another narrator and the story dragged on, but w this narrator it flew by and was very enjoyable

Any additional comments?

if you try this book and like it with this narrator try THE ENCHANTED APRIL it is amazingly narrated by May.

Classic

Lovely and classic novel. If you liked House of 7 Gables or Persuasion, then this is a great choice, too.

Title: Mother's Day Poetry, Volume 1

Narrator: Ghizela Rowe, Tim Graham

Publisher's Summary:

A woman giving birth is not only bringing life into the World, she is doing so, usually, at great pain to herself. The fact that this is transformed within minutes of birth to a deep, unconditional love is truly beautiful. Whatever the future brings for Mother or child that bond will hold.

The first attempt at language by babies is usually 'muh' or 'ma' - a universal sound for Mother. In every race, culture and domain Mothers are seen as both a symbol and living emblem of love and nurture, of comfort and safety. As we grow older that relationship changes but on a fundamental level remains giving, unconditional and unequivocal. As we become parents ourselves that circle of experience completes a full turn.

For poets through time this unique and fulfilling relationship has enabled some of the greatest verse to be written by some of our most famed poets from Wordsworth to Whitman to Tennyson and many, many others.

We hope this experience of listening to these carefully chosen words will help you reflect and further enjoy the experience that a Mother's love has brought to your life. Their devotion to ours ensures ours to theirs. Whilst we celebrate Mother's Day once a year, every day is their day.

Rather like biblical and Shakespearian quotes

A very thought provoking book. A lot of well used phrases in the English language seem to have originated from Blake. Rather like biblical and Shakespearian quotes.

Title: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Author: Simon Armitage

Narrator: Bill Wallis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-20-07

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 237 votes

Genres: Classics, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager. The virtuous Gawain accepts and then decapitates the intruder with his own axe. Gushing blood, the knight reclaims his head, orders Gawain to seek him out a year hence, and departs. Next Yuletide, Gawain dutifully sets forth. His quest for the Green Knight involves a winter journey, a seduction scene in a dream-like castle, a dire challenge answered, and a drama of enigmatic reward disguised as psychic undoing.

Critic Reviews:

"'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is one of the eerie, exuberant joys of Middle English poetry....Simon Armitage has given us an energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version. He reminds us that 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' still wields an uncanny power after 600 years." (The New York Times Book Review)

Members Reviews:

great original, translation, and reader

I loved this in Middle English, in grad school, and it was a huge treat to encounter a skilled reader, a very good new translation AND the original as well, competently read.

The story is really good, and the poetry remains to a fair extent in the translation. The reader is outstanding.

English to the core

Wonderful to hear the gritty reading, with an appropriate but understandable northern accent, which to me (born long ago in Northern England) brings a great sense of reality to the performance. A great change from the upper class accents that so often accompany English readings.

Enjoyable old time chivalry

I especially appreciated the scholarly lecture at the beginning telling me about what I was about to hear and why it was so special.

A truly epic poem that kept my interest until the very end.

The untranslated version after the modern english version was interesting as well.

Arthurian Romance

The poem was easy to understand, much like The Lady of Shalott, or The Highwayman. And any one that loves a good Arthurian tale will surely love this. Another added bonus was the translator Simon Armitage's introduction. And at the end of the story Bill Wallis, who by the way does a fantastic job, re-reads the poem but this time in Middle English, wow it was a real treat to hear it the way it sounded 600 years ago.

Unbelievable Beauty!!!

I can easily say that the alliterative translation, and it's reading by Simon Armitage, is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life. Unable to get enough, I am now listening to the second half of the book, which is the poem in Old English. BRAVO at a magnificent accomplishment!!!!!!!

Titel: In Swanns Welt (Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit 1)

Autor:: Marcel Proust

Erzähler: Peter Matic

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 20 hrs and 35 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07-23-07

Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag

Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 2 Stimmen

Kategorien: Classics, World Literature

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Der Geschmack einer Madeleine, das Licht einer Laterna Magica, der Duft der Weißdornhecke: Schlüsselerlebnisse, die im Kopf des Erzählers Marcel unwillkürlich Erinnerungen hervorrufen. Kunstfertig und detailgetreu entsteht das Panorama des alten Combray und der Stadt Paris mit ihren Salons und Bällen. Kurz: einer Zeit, die verloren und doch gegenwärtig scheint.

(c) + (p) 2001 Der Hörverlag, Sender Freies Berlin

Kritik Bewertungen:

Lauter Nichtigkeiten sind es, von denen Marcel Proust erzählt, und doch füllt es einen ganzen Kosmos, in dem man lauschend lustwandelt. (...) Peter Matic orchestriert Im Schatten junger Mädchenblüte so großartig, dass man süchtig danach wird.
