Title: Titus Alone Author: Mervyn Peake Narrator: Rupert Degas Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 4 minutes Release date: July 11, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Titus Groan has fled the rambling, ruined and ruinous castle of Gormenghast, desperate for a view of the world beyond. But he wasn't prepared for this. Satellites, death-rays, sinister policemen and underworld outcasts live in a nightmarish contemporary city that feels like something by Wells, Burroughs or Philip K. Dick. Threatened and lost, he begins to miss the home he left; but surely he won't be tempted back? Titus Alone is a completely unexpected development, its bizarre and absurd satirical vision placing the dangers of progressive modernity against the deadening force of tradition.

Title: The Vikings Author: David Angus Narrator: Joe Marsh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 26 minutes Release date: May 11, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 3.5 of Total 4 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Between the eighth and eleventh centuries Vikings stormed out of their Scandinavian homelands to raid and loot along the coasts of Europe. In old Norse to 'go a' viking' meant to take to sea in a long ship for an adventure. Sometimes this was a trading trip, sometimes a piratical raid. Often it was both. Explorers and traders, warriors and poets, they ranged between Byzantium in the south and Iceland, and even North America, in the North. Their fame lives on.

Title: Dead Souls Author: Nikolai Gogol Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 0 minutes Release date: March 25, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Chichikov, a mysterious stranger, arrives in a provincial town and visits a succession of landowners to make each a strange offer. He proposes to buy the names of dead serfs still registered on the census, saving their owners from paying tax on them, and to use these 'souls' as collateral to reinvent himself as a gentleman. In this ebullient masterpiece, Nikolai Gogol created a grotesque gallery of human types, from the bear-like Sobakevich to the insubstantial fool Manilov, and, above all, the devilish con man Chichikov. Dead Souls, Russia's first major novel, is one of the most unusual works of nineteenth-century fiction and a devastating satire on social hypocrisy. This version of Dead Souls is the translation by C. J. Hogarth.

Jerome Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 0 minutes Release date: February 23, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them just fine. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather forecasts, and tins of pineapple chunks—not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions, and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian clerking classes, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age.

Title: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard Author: Joseph Conrad Narrator: Antony Ferguson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 30 minutes Release date: February 17, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: One of the greatest political novels in any language, Nostromo reenacts the establishment of modern capitalism in a remote South American province locked between the Andes and the Pacific. In Sulaco, a harbor town in the imaginary South American republic of Costaguana, a vivid cast of characters is caught up in a civil war to decide whether its fabulously wealthy silver mine, funded by American money but owned by a third-generation English immigrant, can be preserved from the hands of venal politicians. Greed and corruption seep into the lives of everyone, and Nostromo, the principled foreman of the mine, is tested to the limit.

Title: The Good Soldier Author: Ford Madox Ford Narrator: Gildart Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 0 minutes Release date: September 30, 2010 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Handsome, wealthy, and a veteran of service in India, Captain Edward Ashburnham appears to be the ideal 'good soldier' and the embodiment of English upper-class virtues. But for his creator, Ford Madox Ford, he also represents the corruption at society's core. Beneath Ashburnham's charming, polished exterior lurks a soul well-versed in the arts of deception, hypocrisy, and betrayal. Throughout the nine years of his friendship with an equally privileged American, John Dowell, Ashburnham has been having an affair with Dowell's wife, Florence. Unlike Dowell, Ashburnham's own wife, Leonora, is well aware of it. When The Good Soldier was first published in 1915, its pitiless portrait of an amoral society dedicated to its own pleasure and convinced of its own superiority outraged many readers. Stylistically daring, The Good Soldier is narrated, unreliably, by Dowell, through whom Ford provides a level of bitter irony. Dowell's disjointed, stumbling storytelling not only subverts linear temporality to satisfying effect, it also reflects his struggle to accept a world without honor, order, or permanence. Called the best French novel in the English language, The Good Soldier is both tragic and darkly comic, and it established Ford as an important contributor to the development of literary modernism.

Title: Uncle Tom’s Cabin Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe Narrator: Mirron Willis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 1 minute Release date: December 29, 2009 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.21 of Total 19 Ratings of Narrator: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: Uncle Tom is a high-minded, devoutly Christian black slave to a kind family, the Shelbys. Beset by financial difficulties, the Shelbys sell Tom to a slave trader. Young George Shelby promises to someday redeem him. The story relates Uncle Tom’s trials, suffering, and religious fortitude. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was revolutionary in 1852 for its passionate indictment of slavery and for its presentation of Tom, “a man of humanity,” as the first black hero in American fiction. Upon meeting Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln allegedly remarked, “So this is the little lady who started this new great war!” The novel became an overnight sensation and was hailed by Tolstoy as “one of the greatest productions of the human mind.” It remains a shocking, controversial, and powerful work, exposing the attitudes of white nineteenth-century society toward slavery and documenting in heart-rending detail the tragic breakup of black families.
