Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Der Roman ist zum einen der Entwicklungsromaneines idealtypischen Menschen. In dieser Hinsicht ähnelt Witiko dem Helden des "Nachsommers", nur dass er seine Erziehung bereits hinter sich gebracht hat und sich in der Realität bewähren muss. Zum anderen aber liefert das Handlungsgeschehen rund um Witiko den Angelpunkt, um die großen politischen und historischen Begebenheiten der dargestellten Zeit (12. Jahrhundert, Gründung des böhmischen Königreichs) anschaulich und lebendig schildern zu können. Stifter selbst hat erklärt, dass sein vordringliches Anliegen die gesamtgeschichtliche Darstellung sei.

Charming, and good for learning Italian

This is ostensibly a children's book, and I probably read it years ago in English as a kid. But now that I'm teaching myself to read Italian, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it again, in the original language. I could just imagine the author reading aloud to an audience of enraptured children. Along with the adventures of Pinocchio, they absorbed some propaganda about the importance of studying, being honest, working hard, etc. Reading this on a Kindle makes it a pleasure to look up the meanings of words and makes it accessible even to a beginning reader of Italian like me.

Too many typos

Too many typos in this edition which has not been reviewed and compared with the original by the editor. Moreover, pictures are poorly scanned and rendere, so the main reason to get this edition over the many that you can find around in the net is void. **** OFC THIS REVIEW IS NOT FOR THE CONTENT THAT IS A 5 STAR ONE IT'S FOR THIS VERY EDITION **** shame on the editor!

Classic Italian

The English version of the story is what we're most familiar with, but to read it in its original language just brings more insight and meaning to "Pine Eye" - the boy made of wood.

For those studying Italian this is a great book to read as we know the story in English and the Italian isn't too hard to understand.

i liked it.

My daughter writes: the drawings were wierd but other than that it was pretty good.He got stuck in a fish like giona (Jonah) from the bible

Five Stars

I really liked and had great time reading it.

Title: Granny's Wonderful Chair

Author: Frances Browne

Narrator: Cathy Dobson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-30-12

Publisher: Red Door Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Frances Browne (1816-1879) was an Irish poet and novelist who is best remembered for her enchanting stories for children, published under the title of Granny's Wonderful Chair. The collection tells the story of Snowflower, a little girl left alone in the world with a magical chair belonging to her absent grandmother, which can take her wherever she wants to go and can tell her marvellous stories. She sets off and reaches the castle of a troubled king, where the nightly tales told by the magic chair serve to change both her fortune and those of all the court.

Browne's superb tales rank her alongside the greatest fairy-tale writers of the age, such as Hans Christian Andersen and the Comtesse de Ségur. The stories are all the more remarkable for the fact that Frances Browne was blind from early childhood and her rich visual descriptions and vivid settings are all composed within her own mind's eye.

Granny's Chair

This review is for the free kindle edition of this book.

Granny's Wonderful Chair is a book of several wonderful fairy tales, which was very popular when it first came out, and remained so for several decades.

The story design is somewhat like that of Arabian Nights, in that the story is one story teller (the chair), who tells several stories. Now, one might think that a chair telling stories is a very strange concept to base a book on, but I assure you that the chair (and thus the author) is one of the best story tellers I've read recently.

There are a few formatting errors in this edition, however; the page numbers are left in the text, as are the picture captions, which link to other places in the book, though the pictures are missing...I'm not really sure what's going on there, actually.

There is an active table of contents, which leads you to the following stories:

Introductory

The Christmas Cuckoo

The Lords of the White and Grey Castles

The Greedy Shepherd

The Story of Fairyfoot

The Story of Childe Charity

Sour and Civil

The Story of Merrymind

Prince Wisewit Returns

Three Stars

Okay.

Loved this book!

We all want to go away for a while and enter a beautiful or mysterious place that will take us on a journey through palace, treasures, and magic. This is that such book of open ended stories and tales of witches fairies, creatures of the sea and air. Loved this book...

Great read.

Good book to read to kids. Very lighthearted and intriguing. Hard to put down my tablet for the night. Well written.

Great read

This is an excellent book with excellent stories. It is like having many books in one. My granddaughter will love me to tell her of all the adventures in this great book.

Title: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Author: Victor Hugo

Narrator: Andrew Sachs

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-12

Publisher: Copyright Group

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Publisher's Summary:

The classic tale with an introduction and notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury.

Set in 1482, Victor Hugo's powerful novel of imagination, caprice, and fantasy is a meditation on love, fate, architecture, and politics, as well as a compelling recreation of the medieval world at the dawn of the modern age. In a brilliant reworking of the tale of Beauty and the Beast, Hugo creates a host of unforgettable characters, amongst them Quasimodo, the hunchback of the title, hopelessly in love with the gypsy girl Esmeralda; the satanic priest Claude Frollo; Clopin Trouillefou, king of the beggars; and Louis XI, King of France.

Over the course of the novel - both literally and symbolically - broods the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Vivid characters and memorable set-piece action scenes combine to bring the past to life in this story of love, lust, betrayal, doom, and redemption.

Members Reviews:

A deserved classic

Another tragic work full of love, passion, tears and horror from a true master prose. It took me years to get around to reading it, I thank God that I finally did

Five Stars

Have always enjoyed reading Hugo

Who is Quasimodo?

Great introduction to Quasimodo for young readers. My fourth grade grandson can read in his own

A great and powerful book by a great and powerful author.

It is always worthwhile to read a classic novel. Victor Hugo is among the four of five greatest writers of all time.

Four Stars

Good read but skimmed thru most of the obsessive detail about city of Paris description and Paris architecture, etc.

Titre: Madame Sourdis

Auteur: Émile Zola

Narrateur: Bernard Petit

Durée: 1 hr and 29 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 02-29-12

Éditeur: Des Oreilles Pour Lire

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Tous les samedis, régulièrement, Ferdinand Sourdis venait renouveler sa provision de couleurs et de pinceaux dans la boutique du père Morand, un rez-de-chaussée noir et humide, qui dormait sur une étroite place de Mercœur, à l'ombre d'un ancien couvent transformé en collège communal. Ferdinand, qui arrivait de Lille, disait-on, et qui depuis un an était "pion" au collège, s'occupait de peinture avec passion, s'enfermant, donnant toutes ses heures libres à des études qu'il ne montrait pas.

L'auteur

Né à Paris en 1840,

passe son enfance et son adolescence à Aix-en-Provence. Au collège Bourbon, il a pour meilleur camarade Paul Cézanne. A la mort de son père, Emile Zola qui a dix huit ans entre au lycée Saint-Louis en tant que boursier. Il passe les épreuves du bac à deux reprises, sans succès. En 1862 Zola entre aux éditions Hachette. Zola rêve de devenir écrivain, écrit des poèmes et en propose un à son patron. Ce dernier impressionné le fait passer au service de presse d'Hachette. En quelques mois, il devient chef de la publicité. A partir de 1863, Zola collabore à différents journaux. Il a l'idée d'écrire un nouveau roman basé sur les lois de l'hérédité de plusieurs générations d'une famille qui aura pour nom Rougon-Macquart. De 1871 à 1890 au rythme des parutions, se succèdent succès et scandales. De 1894 à 1898 il publie la série des Trois Villes, puis de 1899 à 1903 celle des Quatre Evangiles. Eclate alors l'affaire Dreyfus. Emile Zola étudie ce dossier de plus près et acquiert la certitude que le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus est innocent. Son premier article parait dans le Figaro le 25 novembre 1897. Clemenceau le publie dans son journal l'Aurore sous le titre "J'accuse" le 13 janvier 1898. Menacé d'arrestation, Emile Zola se réfugie en Angleterre où il restera onze mois. Il apprend à son retour que sa cause à triomphé: le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus est reconnu innocent. Le 29 septembre 1902 Emile Zola meurt asphyxié dans sa chambre.

Le narrateur

Avec sa voix profonde et chaleureuse,

est un comédien aux multiples facettes. On le retrouve aussi bien dans des livres audio que comme voix-off pour des documentaires sur de grandes chaînes télévisées. Il prête son talent pour de nombreux sons et lumières, des audio guides de musées et des jeux vidéos.

Titre: Discours sur l'économie politique

Auteur: Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Narrateur: Éric Herson-Macarel

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 1 hr and 35 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 12-29-11

Éditeur: LYRE AUDIO

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Ce texte de Rousseau, paru initialement dans l'Encyclopédie, souvent délaissé, voire tout à fait méconnu au profit du Contrat social, occupe pourtant toute sa place dans l'œuvre laissée par le philosophe. À ses yeux, l'économie a en charge la bonne administration des questions d'ordre public comme l'éducation, la propriété, l'impôt. Ainsi, affirme-t-il clairement, l'économie politique, c'est-à-dire l'économie de l'état doit être entièrement subordonnée à la décision politique inspirée par la volonté générale, sous peine d'aliéner définitivement la liberté de chacun. Un texte plus que jamais d'actualité, au regard de la crise financière à laquelle est aujourd'hui confronté l'ensemble de la société.

Le narrateur

est un comédien français. Il joue régulièrement au théâtre et au cinéma. Au grand écran, il est la voix française de, entre autres, Robert Carlyle, Willem Dafoe (dans Spiderman) et de Daniel Craig (dans James Bond). Il a déjà enregistré pour Audiolib Le Prédicateur, L'Oiseau de mauvais augure et L'Enfant allemand.
