Charles Dickens created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters.

Title: Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859)

Author: Leigh Hunt

Narrator: Neville Jason

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-04-13

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

This is an essay from the Favorite Essays collection.

Here, in this unusual collection, are some of the greatest essays in Western literature. Witty, informative and imaginative, the topics vary from starvation in Ireland, fine China, the extension of railways in the Lake District, and the tombs in Westminster Abbey. A little like after-dinner monologues, they are passing thoughts expressed as journalism. Neville Jason reads with urbane clarity.

Editorial Reviews:

This audiobook presents author Leigh Hunts "A Now: Descriptive of a Cold Day", a collage essay drawn from Hunts journals, and composed as a follow-up to the earlier "A Now: Descriptive of a Hot Day". Hunt was a renowned critic and essayist of the 19th century, whose commentaries on the world around him have rendered him an enduring representative of the literary age in which he lived.

Hunts dense, multi-layered prose is coaxed into full bloom by Neville Jasons nuanced performance of this ephemeral essay; Jason is a skilled voice actor and his delivery is just the right degree of theatrical, and deeply felt, his rolling tones complementing the complexity of Hunts refined language and reflections.

Title: Den gode soldat [The Good Soldier]

Author: Ford Madox Ford

Narrator: Carsten Warming

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-25-13

Publisher: Viatone

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Igennem ni r har det amerikanske gtepar John og Florence tilbragt deres somre p et mondnt kursted i den tyske by Nauheim. Det samme er tilfldet for det engelske par Edward og Leonora. Et venskab er spiret frem mellem gteparrene i en verden styret af etikette og pli. Ren idyl, tilsyneladende, men krusninger begynder snart at vise sig p den ellers s verdslige overflade. Utroskab, lgn og forment lidenskab truer med at blotlgge en forfaldshistorie af dimensioner, der lber p tvrs af de to gtepar, og som er prget af alt andet end takt og tone.Den gode soldat er Ford Madox Fords psykologiske melodrama fra 1915, en subtil og satirisk afdkning af sindets skjulte mekanikker og kdets lngsler. Den har opnet klassikerstatus og figurerer p flere anerkendte lister over verdens bedste bger.

Please note: This audiobook is in Danish.

Critic Reviews:

Den gode soldat er en magelst fortalt historie, som klart med sin sprlske og episke elan hele tiden forvirrer og forblffer. Romanen er en bedrvelig, men ogs storartet moderne klassiker, som br st i den litterre lsers reol ikke s langt fra James Joyces Ulysses og Virginia Woolfs Mrs. Dalloway. (Bo Tao Michaëlis, Politiken)

Members Reviews:

Good job!

This has been on my reading bucket list since it first showed up on a recommended list distributed in a British lit survey course I took in college. It continued to show up, like "Best of the 20th Century" lists. Now I've found out why. From its great opening line that sounds a tad Russian--"This is the saddest story I have ever heard"--to its last revelation of many revelations of character and the human condition--it is always in top artistic form.

It predates The Great Gatsby by a decade and I'm guessing Fitzgerald read it. The first person narrative structure begins similarly, one man, the American John Dowell, discounting himself as a major player as he promises to tell the story of a bigger player, the British Captain Edward Asburnham, the "good soldier" of the title. Like Gatsby, the circles in which they move are largely affluent, and marriage conventions are flouted. But there the similarities begin to disappear. FMF's characters are more self-deceived than self-made, and there are the cultural contrasts of American vs. European character and protestant vs. Catholic tossed in for good measure. John Dowell proves to be a difficult narrator: though he suggests that it is the understandable problem of ordering memory that he builds the story hesitantly and thus sometimes doubles back to fill in more facts, the tangled story telling may be due as much to his own reluctance to deal with certain truths until he is finally ready. He may not be as much of a bystander as he initially suggests, or as innocent.

To say more would spoil the plot. This is an absorbing read, and relatively short. It is also worth reading as a model of modern literary art. It is well informed by the recent arrival of psychology, it strains against the rigidity of Victorian and Edwardian social codes, it smashes Aristotle's rules about plot progression. How the story is told is as important as the story. Energy electrifies it and that makes it a pleasure to read despite the fact that it deals considerably with pathetic human weaknesses.

The critical introduction is reliable as most Penguin classic supplementary essays are, and is best read afterward since there are spoilers.
