Zusammen mit seinem neu gewonnenen Freund Queequeg, einem Harpunier polynesischer Herkunft, heuert Ishmael auf dem Walfänger Pequod unter dem Kommando von Kapitän Ahab an. Ahab hat bei der Jagd auf den riesigen weißen Pottwal Moby Dick ein Bein verloren und ist nun besessen von seinen Rachegelüsten. Die Jagd auf "normale" Wale erledigt die Mannschaft quasi nebenbei und nur zur Tarnung der eigentlichen Absicht von Ahab: Moby Dick zu finden und zu töten.

Fëdor Dostoevskij scrisse Umiliati e offesi al suo ritorno dalla deportazione in Siberia, nel 1861. In questo romanzo, - il quinto della sua produzione, che egli stesso pubblicò a puntate sulla rivista Vremja, da lui fondata, - si intravvedono alcuni dei grandi temi e degli stili narrativi presenti nelle sue opere successive: il conflitto tra padri e figli (in questo caso padri e figlie), la condanna e il perdono, l’esistenza del male, l’amore come sacrificio, il riscatto della povera gente.

Relata la historia de un arqueólogo que, tras oír los mitos y leyendas que rodean la "ciudad sin nombre", ubicada en algún sitio recóndito del desierto de Arabia, decide ir a buscarla. Al llegar descubre que está desierta (o eso creyó en un principio ) y que su extraña arquitectura no corresponde a las necesidades humanas.

Seres que todavía la habitan.

In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing. First published in Dickens’ own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens’ life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Story
War and Peace is at once an epic war chronicle and an exploration of everything that make us all human: love and hate, ambition and despair, life and death. Allow yourself to get lost in the lives of three Russian aristocratic families, whose triumphs and challenges are every bit as resonant to today’s listener as they were to original readers. Thandiwe Newton inhabits each character with such flair that it is easy to forget that you are listening to one voice.

Story
The Trial tells the story of a man arrested for an unknown crime by a remote, inaccessible authority and his struggle for control over the increasing absurdity of his life. One of Franz Kafka's best-known works, The Trial has been variously interpreted as an examination of political power, a satirical depiction of bureaucracy, and a pessimistic religious parable. Left unfinished at the time of Kafka's 1924 death, The Trial is nevertheless a trenchant depiction of the seemingly incomprehensible nature of existence....

Story
"I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man", a nameless voice cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the painful self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn of a lonely individual who has become one of the greatest anti-heroes in all literature.

The problem with the underground man is that he's a bit too human
