Story
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Story
One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Story
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Publisher's Summary
Harper Lee’s Pulitzer prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep south - and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred, available now for the first time as a digital audiobook.
One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the 20th century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father - a crusading local lawyer - risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
What the critics say
"It's good to be reminded of the power wielded by this classic of American literature. As the introductory music fades and Sissy Spacek begins her narration, we immediately enter the small town in the Deep South where all the timeless issues of kindness and cruelty, inclusion and prejudice are played out in a story told by a little girl named Scout. Instead of offering a range of accents, Spacek reads the story entirely in her own, or Scout's, voice. The choice works, for the book is written from Scout’s point of view, and Spacek has just the right level of Southern accent for easy listening. This is an unforgettable story well told. 2007 Audies Award Winner." (AudioFile magazine)
"Atticus Finch is a timeless American hero who has been played by the likes of Gregory Peck in film and Jeff Daniels on the stage. But in Sissy Spacek’s narration of To Kill a Mockingbird, it’s Harper Lee’s narrator, Scout, who becomes the listener’s moral guiding light and closest confidante. You forget you’re listening to the voice of an adult, so wholly do Spacek’s Southern rhythms embody the young tomboy as she witnesses the racial injustices of the Depression-era South unfold before her." (The New York Times Book Review)
Editorial Review
To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic American novel for a reason. Powerful, moving, poignant, and still relevant today, Harper Lee’s remarkable story of justice and the trial of a small Southern town in Mississippi resonates even now with listeners old and young. At once, a coming-of-age tale and a story of resilience, To Kill a Mockingbird highlights a point of view of the Black community and the prejudices and assumptions so readily made during the civil rights movement. It is a triumph not only of African American fiction but a universally important tale of humanity and man’s fragility.
The story tells the tale of young Scout Finch’s perception of the world, but also her lawyer father (and white man) Atticus Finch, and in turn Tom Robinson, the Black man accused of raping a white woman, he so fiercely wishes to defend. These multiple viewpoints between the finch family and members of the black community offer a complex perspective on injustices, prejudices, and the systemic racism and classism ingrained in so much of American culture brought to life in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama. Each character - from Dill Harris to Boo Radley, Judge Taylor, Bob Ewell, Miss Maudie, Calpurnia and Jem - is a part of the larger puzzle that paints a picture of violence, hatred, and heroism.
Sissy Spacek narrates this well-known story, bringing a raw and vulnerable tone to the often heard words. She adds all the nuances and changes in tone, emotion and feeling needed to deliver an iconic story. Spacek shines and offers an entirely engrossing listen to audiences. You will be swept up in the story, whether this is your first time hearing it or you are a long-time lover of the Academy Award and Pulitzer prize-winning classic. You may also enjoy Go Set a Watchman, which features many of the same main characters.

Classic for young adults
The topics it explores and the way they are introduced and experienced are meant for young adults (around 13).
Despite the fact that I am not the proper audience and that it took me a couple chapters before I could get comfortable with the book, I found it a fine read.
