Title: The Rainbow

Author: D. H. Lawrence

Narrator: Wanda McCaddon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-10

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Set in the rural midlands of England, The Rainbowrevolves around three generations of the Brangwen family over a period of more than 60 years, setting them against the emergence of modern England. When Tom Brangwen marries a Polish widow and adopts her daughter as his own, he is unprepared for the conflict and passion that erupt. Suffused with biblical imagery, The Rainbow addresses searching human issues in a setting of precise and vivid detail.

In The Rainbow, D. H. Lawrence challenged the customary limitations of language and convention to carry into the structures of his prose the fascination with boundaries and space that characterize the entire novel. A visionary novel, considered to be one of Lawrence's finest, it explores the complex sexual and psychological relationships between men and women in an increasingly industrialized world.

Critic Reviews:

"Lawrence is the most Dostoevskian of English novelists, in whose best work conflicting ideological positions are brought into play and set up against each other in dialogue that is never simply or finally resolved." (David Lodge)

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

For more than 100 years, science-fiction writers around the world have captured our imaginations with speculations about journeys into the past or future. Countless novels, short stories, movies, and TV shows have used or adapted the theme of time travel. However, all of them owe a debt to Herbert George Wells. This, his first major novel, published in 1895, was the origin of the very concept of time travel. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest science-fiction novels of all time.

In this story, the Time Traveller spins forward from late 19th century London to the year 802,701 where two rival species of human descendants co-exist in tension. The Eloi live in an apparent paradise, although constantly fearful of their nocturnal subterranean predators, the Morlocks. Now you can have this incomparable story read to you.

Title: The Time Machine

Author: H. G. Wells

Narrator: Roger May

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-14-10

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

At a dinner party in Richmond, the host tells an astonishing story of his travels into the future, where, at first, it seems that man has moved on to a higher plane of existence - suffering and war seem to have been eliminated. But in fact there are two races living on the Earth: the Eloi, a leisured, decadent, androgynous group; and the Morlocks, an underground tribe of bestial workers. When his time machine is stolen, the traveller is stranded in this strange new world and discovers that the truth about it is far darker than he could imagine....

One of the greatest science-fiction stories ever written, The Time Machine is an adventure story, a social commentary, and a dark warning of the dangers facing humanity.

Editorial Reviews:

A time traveler tells his invited guests about his journey to a future world composed of the Eloi and the underground Morlocks, who prey on the Eloi by night. Roger May's narration has a formal quality that matches the language and tone of Wells's allegorical adventure. At the same time, May's dramatic descriptions of the future world and the time traveler's horror as he faces the Morlocks are both exciting and playful. Listeners may find themselves debating the credibility of the story, as the time traveler's visitors do. May's narration is an excellent presentation of this science fiction classic and will help keep Wells's imagined future alive for a new generation.

Title: The War of the Worlds

Author: H. G. Wells

Narrator: Shane Sody

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-10

Publisher: Shane Sody (Sody Audio Books)

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

This is a story so gripping and so authentic that its popularity has grown over generations. It is more popular now than it was when first written.

It was 1898 when Wells crafted his seminal tale of grotesque tentacled Martians and their terrifying tripod fighting machines commencing their invasion of Earth from a landing site in a sandpit at Horsell Common, southwest of London. It is a suspenseful, entirely believable account of how one man and his family react and survive amidst the initial incredulity, and then the awakening terror, panic, and despair that overtakes millions of Londoners as the Martians slowly advance.

The Hollywood blockbuster War of the Worlds, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise was based on this novel. However this audiobook is not associated with the movie. This audio version is completely faithful to the H.G. Wells novel.

Title: Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass

Author: Lewis Carroll

Narrator: Robin Field

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-10

Publisher: Mission Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

"Many a day we rowed together on that quiet streamand many a fairy tale had been extemporizedyet none of these tales got written down: they lived and diedeach in its own golden afternoon until there came a day when, as it chanced, one of the listeners petitioned that the tale might be written down for her."

Thus, in 1864, Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson (under the pen name of Lewis Carroll) presented family friend Alice Liddell with the first edition of what would become an inimitable classic, Alices Adventures in Wonderland. Seven years after Alices success, Carroll published Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, the equally beloved sequel. Freshly and imaginatively narrated, listeners will be delighted to accompany Alice on her journey into a world where nonsense and mayhem would reign supreme, but for the satirical practicality of a child.
