Title: Futility: A Novel on Russian Themes

Author: William Alexander Gerhardi

Narrator: Margaret Espaillat

Length: 6 hrs 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

This, it seems to me, is the most striking quality of Mr. Gerhardi's book: that he has (even in this, his first venture) enough of the true novelist's "objectivity" to focus the two so utterly alien races to whom he belongs almost equally, by birth and bringing-up - the English and the Russian - to sympathize with both, and to depict them for us as they see each other, with the play of their mutual reactions illuminating and animating them all. - Summary from the preface by Edith Wharton

Title: Triumph of the Egg: A Book of Impressions from American Life In Tales and Poems

Author: Sherwood Anderson

Narrator: Ben Adams

Length: 7 hrs 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

"The Triumph of the Egg" is a collection of stories and poems by Sherwood Anderson. Abandoning the interconnected quality of his more famous "Winesburg, Ohio," the author adopts a variety of perspectives and settings while exploring similar themes: personal growth, disillusionment, loneliness, and urban-rural contrast. In the North American Review, critic Lawrence Gilman wrote, "Mr. Anderson has achieved a beauty that irradiates his page." Though largely overshadowed by that celebrated, earlier book, "The Triumph of the Egg" remains a foundational work for Modernist literature, proven by its winning the first annual Dial Award from the influential journal The Dial.

Title: Lady Audley's Secret

Author: Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Narrator: Elizabeth Klett

Length: 14 hrs 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

Mary Elizabeth Braddon's first novel, Lady Audley's Secret, was one of the most popular English novels of its day. Published serially in 1862, it tells the story of the lovely Lucy Graham, who becomes Lady Audley at the beginning of the novel, and who conceals a scandalous secret from her new husband and his family. The plot, which includes madness, bigamy, attempted murder, and seduction, made this a shocking but highly successful story for Victorian audiences. It remains one of the best examples of 19th century sensational fiction, and is a wonderfully absorbing book. (Summary written by gloriana).

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (or, more briefly, Tristram Shandy) is a novel by Laurence Sterne. It was published in nine volumes, the first two appearing in 1759, and seven others following over the next 10 years. It was not always held in high esteem by other writers (Samuel Johnson responded that, "Nothing odd can last"), but its bawdy humour was popular with London society, and it has come to be seen as one of the greatest comic novels in English, as well as a forerunner for many modern narrative devices.

Length: 13 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publisher's Summary:

Published in book form in April 1857, the novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was notoriously perfectionist about his writing and claimed to always be searching for le mot juste (the right word)". (Summary from Wikipedia).

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Publication of The Kreutzer Sonata in 1889 was a significant intellectual event worldwide.

The novella emphasizes Tolstoy's controversial view on sexuality, which asserts that physical desire is an obstacle to relations between men and women and may result in tragedy. The Kreutzer Sonata has been recognized as among the best examples of Tolstoy's art of storytelling.(Introduction by Dorlene Kaplan)
