H. Williams III. When young English lawyer Jonathan Harker arrives in Transylvania on the eve of Saint George's Day, he cannot shake a strange feeling of uneasiness.

Puzzled, the young solicitor begins to search the castle for clues - and unearths a deadly secret that could endanger him and those he loves most. Journey through the Carpathian Mountains, lose yourself in the shadowy streets of London, and experience all the action, suspense, and terror of this classic tale. Just be sure to leave a light on.

Expelled from his community, he retreats to the rustic hamlet of Raveloe to spend the remainder of his life as a misanthropic hermit, devoted only to the fortune he amasses as a linen weaver. But when his gold is taken, Silas also feels robbed of what's left of his humanity. Then, one snowy New Year's Eve, an orphan girl comes in out of the storm and changes him forever. Drawn from Eliot's empathy for the outsider, Silas Marner is the embodiment of her humanist perspective on redemption, kinship, and self-discovery.

It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, 'we must cultivate our garden', in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, 'all is for the best' in the 'best of all possible worlds'. "Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical, and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious coming-of-age narrative (Bildungsroman), it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism. "As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus." [Wikipedia] Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

It satirises the shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors' prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. The prison in this case is the Marshalsea, where Dickens's own father had been imprisoned. Dickens is also critical of the lack of a social safety net, the treatment and safety of industrial workers, as well the bureaucracy of the British Treasury, in the form of his fictional 'Circumlocution Office'. In addition he satirises the stratification of society that results from the British class system." - Wikipedia Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Der Eintönigkeit ihres Lebens versucht sie durch ständig wechselnde Liebschaften zu entkommen. Zu ihrem Sohn Franz, der Frucht einer ihrer Affären, hat sie ein distanziertes Verhältnis. Als sie durch eine Erbschaft zu etwas Geld kommt und Franz einen Betrag einfordert, kommt es zur Katastrophe. Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) war ein österreichischer Erzähler und Dramatiker. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Moderne. Arthur Schnitzler kam als erster Sohn der insgesamt vier Kinder des jüdischen Laryngologen Johann Schnitzler und dessen Gattin Luise geb. Markbreiter in Wien zur Welt. Von 1871 bis 1879 besuchte er das Akademische Gymnasium und legte die Matura mit Auszeichnung ab. Danach studierte er an der Universität Wien Medizin. Arthur Schnitzler begann früh, als Verfasser literarischer Texte und Gedichte aufzutreten. Sein literarisches Debüt gab er mit Liebeslied der Ballerine 1880 und seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gehörte er zu den meistgespielten Dramatikern auf deutschen Bühnen. Schnitzler schrieb Dramen und Prosa (hauptsächlich Erzählungen), in denen er das Augenmerk vor allem auf die psychischen Vorgänge seiner Figuren lenkt. Gleichzeitig mit dem Einblick in das Innenleben der Schnitzlerschen Figuren bekommt der Leser auch ein Bild von der Gesellschaft, die diese Gestalten und ihr Seelenleben prägt. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

After a night of troubled dreams, Gregor Samsa wakes to discover that he has turned into a huge, monstrous, cockroach-like creature, with an armour-plated back and multiple limbs. Gradually, he comes to terms with his new state - but his parents and sister are horrified and increasingly revolted. To them, Gregor is unclean, verminous and entirely repellent, and as he becomes more and more of a burden, their horror turns to a terrible indifference.... First published in 1915, Kafka's surreal existential novella explores concepts such as the absurdity of life, alienation and the disconnect between mind and body. Read by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Trek, The Imitation Game), this tale - often described as one of the greatest in the history of fiction - is chilling, captivating and darkly comic.

A philosophical and moral examination of good versus evil, divine versus mortal, and power versus submission are all encapsulated in the musings of Zarathustra. Zarathustra's doctrine is the idea of eternal recurrence, which claims that all events repeat themselves, and that to achieve a higher state of mind, man must accept each moment as it comes. Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a compelling, thought-provoking piece on what it means to understand internal peace and to conflict with the mundane repetition of life on Earth.

Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titre: 700 citations des grands écrivains français du XIXème siècle Auteur: Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Gustave Flaubert, Alexandre Dumas, François de Chateaubriand, Alfred de Musset Narrateur: Nicolas Planchais, Élodie Huber Format: Unabridged Durée: 3 hrs and 16 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 12-27-17 Éditeur: Compagnie du Savoir Genres: Classics, European Literature Résumé: Le XIXe siècle en France est un âge d'or littéraire, marqué par des courants très affirmés comme le romantisme, le réalisme, le naturalisme ou le symbolisme, et une évolution moderne de la poésie et du roman qui donna naissance à des chefs-dœuvre en nombre inégalé. Cette collection de citations présente la pensée de sept figures incontournables du XIXe siècle sous forme concise et accessible. Victor Hugo est l'un des écrivains de langue française les plus importants, et il fut aussi un intellectuel engagé qui joua un rôle majeur dans l'histoire du XIXe siècle. Sa production toucha tous les genres et lui valut un immense succès populaire. Honoré de Balzac est un des maîtres du roman français, qui excella surtout dans la veine du réalisme. Dans ses romans, caractérisés par un style économe et resserré, Stendhal cherche "la vérité, l'âpre vérité" dans le domaine psychologique, et campe essentiellement des jeunes gens aux aspirations romantiques de vitalité, de force du sentiment et de rêve de gloire. Gustave Flaubert a marqué la littérature universelle par la profondeur de ses analyses psychologiques, son souci de réalisme, son regard lucide sur les comportements des individus et de la société, et par la force de son style. Les romans d'aventure d'Alexandre Dumas sont portés par la fougue de son style et son succès est toujours immense. Chateaubriand est l'un des précurseurs du romantisme français, grâce à ses descriptions de la nature et son analyse des sentiments. Alfred de Musset est un des grands écrivains romantiques français, dont le théâtre et la poésie lyrique montrent une sensibilité extrême, une interrogation sur la pureté et la débauche. La pensée de chaque auteur est résumée en 100 citations marquantes et essentielles, faciles à mémoriser et à s'approprier ; ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
