Title: Mr. Midshipman Easy

Author: Frederick Marryat

Narrator: Adrian Praetzellis

Length: 16 hrs 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 9/7/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

One of the first novel-length pieces of nautical fiction, MR. MIDSHIPMAN EASY (1836) is a funny and easygoing account of the adventures of Jack Easy, a son of privilege who joins the Royal Navy. The work begins as a satire on Jack's attachment to "the rights of man" that may try the listener's patience. But despair not, for the story soon settles down as the philosophical midshipman begins his many triumphs over bullies, foul weather, and various damned foreigners of murderous intent.

Caveat audiens: This novel employs racial/ethnic epithets and religious stereotypes, as well as taking a rather sunny view of supply-side economics. In short, there's something here to offend almost everyone.

Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) entered the Royal Navy as a 14-year-old midshipman. He resigned his commission at the rank of captain after 24 years of service to devote his time to writing. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)

Title: Vital Question, or, What is to be Done?

Author: Nikolai Chernyshevsky

Narrator: Expatriate

Length: 18 hrs 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 8/26/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

Despised by Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, What Is To Be Done? is a fascinating, sympathetic story of idealistic revolutionaries in mid-nineteenth century tsarist Russia; translator Nathan Haskell Dole affirms in his preface his conviction that it is a thriller that no one can put down once s/he begins it. Its variegated cast of characters includes Vera Pavlovna, a boldly independent woman in a time of great oppression, and the inspirational radical Rakhmetov. The author wrote the novel from the depths of the infamous Peter & Paul Fortress of St. Petersburg, the Abu Ghraib of tsarist Russia, and later spent many years of exile in Siberia. Dostoyevsky disparaged Chernyshevsky's novel repeatedly, most notably in The Possessed (as sort of bedside reading material for some of the more despicable characters) and in Notes From Underground. Chernyshevsky's legacy, however, was in inspiring an ascetic, self-abnegating radicalism in later revolutionaries and activists. - Summary by Expatriate

Title: Pickwick Papers

Author: Charles Dickens

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 32 hrs 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 8/10/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, better known as The Pickwick Papers, is the first novel by Charles Dickens. Written for publication as a serial, The Pickwick Papers consists of a sequence of loosely-related adventures. Its main literary value and appeal is formed by its numerous unforgettable heroes. Each personage in The Pickwick Papers (just as in many other Dickens' novels) is drawn comically, often with exaggerated features of character. (Wikipedia)

Title: English Literature: Its History and Its Significance for the Life of the English Speaking World

Author: William J. Long

Narrator: Tony Oliva

Length: 24 hrs 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 8/10/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

This book, which presents the whole splendid history of English literature from Anglo-Saxon times to the close of the Victorian Era, has three specific aims. The first is to create or to encourage in every student the desire to read the best books, and to know literature itself rather than what has been written about literature. The second is to interpret literature both personally and historically, that is, to show how a great book generally reflects not only the author's life and thought but also the spirit of the age and the ideals of the nation's history. The third aim is to show, by a study of each successive period, how our literature has steadily developed from its first simple songs and stories to its present complexity in prose and poetry. (From the Preface by William J. Long)

Title: The Iliad of Homer, Rendered into English Blank Verse

Author: Homer

Narrator: Michael Armenta

Length: 25 hrs 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 8/10/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

"It must equally be considered a splendid performance; and for the present we have no hesitation in saying that it is by far the best representation of Homer's Iliad in the English language." - London Times, 1865

"The merits of Lord Derby's translation may be summed up in one word, it is eminently attractive; it is instinct with life; it may be read with fervent interest; it is immeasurably nearer than Pope to the text of the original. Lord Derby has given a version far more closely allied to the original, and superior to any that has yet been attempted in the blank verse of our language." - Edinburgh Review, January 1865.

Title: Moby Dick, or the Whale

Author: Herman Melville

Narrator: Stewart Wills

Length: 24 hrs 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 8/10/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique - but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book's eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first "modern" novel. (Summary by Stewart Wills)
