Title: Stolen White Elephant

Author: Mark Twain

Narrator: Michael Scott

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10/30/2005

Publisher: Thought Audio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

While many elements of civilized culture provided much comic fodder for Mark Twain, detectives occupied a portion of his observations and writing for a time. The story of the Stolen White Elephant, though entirely preposterous, is rumored to be modeled after real life efforts of an actual police department who misplaced the body of a deceased victim. This audio story will leave you laughing out loud.

Title: War and Peace, Book 03: 1805

Author: Leo Tolstoy

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 5 hrs 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

War and Peace (Russian: , Voyna i mir; in original orthography: , Voyna i mir") is an epic novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels.

War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy's time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Title: Duel (Version 2)

Author: Anton Chekhov

Narrator: Expatriate

Length: 4 hrs 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2015

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Known for his plays and short stories, Anton Chekhov also wrote a series of novellas, astonishing for their psychological complexity and compelling human portraiture. In The Duel, the wastrel and libertine Laevsky absconds to the Caucasus with another man's wife, Nadyezhda Fyodorovna. While there, he forms several acquaintanceships with a colorful array of characters: Von Koren the zoologist, Samoylenko the doctor, and Pobyedov the giddy deacon. Before long, both Laevsky and his mistress succeed in offending local society by their dissolute lifestyles, leading to the inevitable insult, challenge, and duel. Duels having been exploited as plot twists throughout the writings of Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Dostoyevsky (all ironically alluded to by the author), the challenge for Chekhov is to make it work one more time in 1891, at a time when duelling had nearly died out in both society and literature. The result is a richly layered, utterly original, philosophically and psychologically ambiguous story of human love and friendship. ( summary by Expatriate)
