Title: Awakening

Author: Kate Chopin

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 5 hrs 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Romance, Historical Romance

Publisher's Summary:

Owing to its highly personal content focused on feminine sexuality, this LibriVox edition was recorded by eight female readers.

The Modern Library edition of The Awakening has an introduction by Kay Gibbons, who writes: "The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine's desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel." - As Kay Gibbons points out, Chopin "was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it."

To give you an idea of the subject matter, Project Gutenburg catalogues The Awakening under "Adultery -- Fiction -- Women -- Louisiana -- New Orleans -- Social conditions. (Summary by Denny Sayers)

Title: Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection

Author: Charles Darwin

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 24 hrs 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species (publ. 1859) is a pivotal work in scientific literature and arguably the pivotal work in evolutionary biology. The book's full title is On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. It introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It was controversial because it contradicted religious beliefs which underlay the then current theories of biology. Darwin's book was the culmination of evidence he had accumulated on the voyage of the Beagle in the 1830s and added to through continuing investigations and experiments since his return.
