Story5 out of 5 stars 12
The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 246
Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among the world's great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 154
“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.” With this startlingly bizarre sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young traveling salesman who, transformed overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. Rather than being surprised at the transformation, the members of his family despise it as an impending burden upon themselves.

When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8
Sartre's greatest novel and existentialism's key text, now introduced by James Wood, and read by the inimitable Edoardo Ballerini. Nausea is the story of Antoine Roquentin, a French writer who is horrified at his own existence. In impressionistic, diary form, he ruthlessly catalogs his every feeling and sensation.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 45
The Brothers Karamazov tells the stirring tale of four brothers: the pleasure-seeking, impatient Dmitri; the brilliant and morose Ivan; the gentle, loving, and honest Alyosha; and the illegitimate Smerdyakov: shy, silent, and cruel. The four unite in the murder of one of literature's most despicable characters - their father. This was Dostoevsky's final and best work.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 113
Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy's genius is clearly seen in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle, all of them fully realized and equally memorable.

A fantastic and harrowing tale of a troubled man
Great narration! Very expressive and very different so you can tell who each character is. Boy do the Russians write depressing books. A roller coaster of guilt and folly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I was hesitant at first but the speaker did an amazing job at capturing the emotion from the characters
Now having finished it I can see why it has stood the test of time

Tearful and Political
What can be said abt crime and punishment that hasn't already been said? Its a masterful look into the human mind and how it functions. Dostoevsky manages to put you into the mind of a murderer who belives he himself is a Napoleon Bonapart allowed to flaunt moral taboos. Despite this, you find yourself rooting for him.
For me it is hard to not see a political undertone to this book. To quote dostoevsky, "You can judge the degree of a civilization by seeing its prisons". We must srsly rethink our prisons, retributive justice does not work. It leads to high recidivism rates and makes crime a cyclical cycle. If the Scandanavians can implement such a system of rehibilitation with amazing results why can't we? "America is a different country, apples and oranges". Well, last time I checked humans live in Scandanavia not aliens.
Finally, importantly, Anthony Heald knocks this out of the park. One of the best narrators I have ever had the pleasure of having for an audio book. He never faults and he always keeps you engaged.

Dark and maddening
The story was dark and filled with fleeting thoughts and psychosis as the main character spirals into insanity propelled by systemic social inequalities and poverty. It was raw and intriguing and not romanticized in the least. Good performance by the narrator he really made the story come to life.

First time reading a classic with Audible
I thoroughly enjoyed using Audible to read along with a hard copy. It made the characters and their various names much less confusing. The details of the story were not as difficult to retain by listening and reading together. I think either only listening or only silent reading the story would have taken far longer to get through and less enjoyable. Looking forward to reading many more classics this way.

A Classic with good reason
This book was amazing... great story, well developed characters, etc. The story itself is well fleshed out and even though it belongs in a world I would barely recognize it does not feel alien to me.
The story narrative is a bit simplistic as old books tend to be, no jump in times, no dual perspectives, etc... but this is not a criticism, just a comment for those looking at a bit of an insight
Anthony Heald (the narrator of this audiobook) is a TREASURE... what an amazing performance!... I will probably end up listening to any book he narrates regardless of genre... he is THAT GOOD!
