Title: Don Quixote

Author: Miguel de Cervantes

Narrator: David Case

Format: Unabridged

Length: 39 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-31-06

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 97 votes

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Don Quixote is a middle-aged gentleman from the region of La Mancha in central Spain. Obsessed with the chivalrous ideals touted in the many books he has read, he decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked. After a first failed adventure, he sets out on a second one with a somewhat befuddled laborer named Sancho Panza, whom he has persuaded to accompany him.

In many works, the experiences of a man like Don Quixote would probably appear tragic. He's repeatedly beaten, chased away, lied to, and misunderstood. But in the hands of Cervantes, these events are comic.

About the abridgement

The one major issue of this book is Hugo's long "asides" in which he departs from the action to write about anything he finds of interest. In the printed version, one can simply flip by those pages to get back to the story. That is not so easy in an audio version so these tangents have been removed. The whole story, all 33 plus hours of it, remains.

Title: The Prince

Author: Nicolo Machiavelli

Narrator: Ian Richardson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-05

Publisher: CSA Word

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 371 votes

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Publisher's Summary:

How remarkable that an Italian living in the 15th and 16th centuries should lend his name to a word still in common usage in the English language today. Nicolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) wrote only one major work as a gift for his ruling Prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli held office as a senior civil servant for 14 years until the downfall of the Republic in 1512. No longer officially employed to impart advice, instead Machiavelli poured out his ideas and resentment in his writings. The Prince has remained a prominent classic ever since; valued for its shrewd psychological insight, powerful words, and prophetic quality. And even today, it has never lost its power to shock and influence. Ian Richardson's formidable reading of this modern unabridged translation is an accessible and entertaining way in to a truly compelling world view.

Original translation in 1908 by W.K. Marryatt, updated by Alan Petrides in 1995.

Title: Metamorphosis

Author: Franz Kafka

Narrator: Martin Jarvis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-05

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 138 votes

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find he has been transformed into a gigantic insect. This extraordinary tale of imagination was written by Kafka against the backdrop of increasing turmoil in central Europe and remains not just an affecting tale but a disturbing allegory.

Critic Reviews:

"Kafka expertly portrays the vagaries of the human heart in a recording that the gifted Martin Jarvis elevates to an audio classic, employing his storytelling skills and knowing inflections in a lively and charming narration occasionally punctuated by scratchy, whimsical violins....This unforgettable audio movie is vivid and disturbing, shot through with black humor."

Title: The Idiot

Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Narrator: Michael Sheen

Format: Abridged

Length: 4 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-00

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: Classics, European Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Prince Lef Nikolayevitch Muishkin is one of the great characters in Russian literature. Is he a saint or just naive, an idealist or, as many in General Yepanchin's society feel, an 'idiot'? Certainly, his return to St. Petersburg after years in a Swiss clinic has a dramatic effect on the beautiful Aglaya, youngest of the Yepanchin daughters and on the charismatic but willful Nastasia Phillipovna. As he paints a vivid picture of Russian society, Dostoyevsky shows how principles conflict with emotions - with tragic results.
