Peut-on croire, comme il l'affirme, qu'il n'a pas joué depuis plus de vingt ans ? Les circonstances dans lesquelles l'homme a acquis sa science du jeu sont terribles. Elles renvoient aux expérimentations nazies sur les effets de l'isolement absolu, lorsque, aux frontières de la folie, le cerveau humain parvient à déployer ses facultés les plus étranges. Dans cette fable inquiétante parue en 1943, un an après son suicide, Zweig porte un regard désespéré sur une époque qui ne laisse comme alternative que la démence ou la mort. Édouard Baer donne toute sa dimension à ce grand texte où l'angoisse est sans cesse à fleur de mots. L'auteur Né en Autriche en 1881, mort au Brésil en 1942, auteur de romans, de pièces de théâtre et de poèmes, excelle dans l'essai, la biographie et la nouvelle. Comme dans la ou , on retrouve ici son génie de la psychologie, son art de suggérer par un geste, un regard, les tourments intérieurs, les arrières pensées, les abîmes de l'inconscient. Le narrateur Comédien, auteur, metteur en scène, marque ses succès de sa personnalité aux facettes changeantes, drôle, lunaire, féroce ou tendre. Sa lecture de Pedigree de Patrick Modiano, toute de finesse et d'émotion retenue, le place premier plan des très grandes voix françaises. © Librairie Générale Française, 1991.

Title: The Picture of Dorian Gray Author: Oscar Wilde Narrator: George Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1890) is a novel by Oscar Wilde. Dorian Gray is the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Dorian is selected for his remarkable physical beauty, and Basil becomes strongly infatuated with Dorian, believing that his beauty is responsible for a new mode of art. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is considered one of the last works of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme. It deals with the artistic movement of the decadents, and homosexuality, both of which caused some controversy when the book was first published. However, in modern times, the book has been referred to as "one of the modern classics of Western literature". ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Title: Heart of Darkness Author: Joseph Conrad Narrator: George Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: "Heart of Darkness" (1899) is a classic of world literature by Joseph Conrad. He acknowledged that "Heart of Darkness" was in part based on his own experiences during his travels in Africa. In 1890, at the age of 32, he was appointed to serve as the captain of a steamer on the Congo River by a Belgian trading company. The book tells a story about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa. Marlow, the story's narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages. "Heart of Darkness" raises important questions about imperialism and racism. ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Title: Moving the Mountain Author: Charlotte Perkins Gilman Narrator: Alice Johnson Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: An iconic early feminist utopian novel. This work was one element in the major wave of utopian and dystopian literature that marked the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. A man previously lost to the world is found by his sister and tries to re-enter society. He had amnesia so he is now 55 in body, but 25 in his own mind. The book delves into how the man accommodates to the progress in industry and society; but most of all - and most importantly - it is a fascinating study of how he reacts to and deals with the significant changes and progress regarding the position of women in the society. ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Title: Frankenstein Author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Narrator: Caden Vaughn Clegg Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: SAGA Egmont Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: "Frankenstein" begins in epistolary form, documenting the correspondence between Captain Robert Walton and his sister, Margaret Walton Saville. Walton sets out to explore the North Pole and expand his scientific knowledge in hopes of achieving fame and friendship. The ship becomes trapped in ice, and, one day, the crew sees a dog sled in the distance, on which there is the figure of a giant man. Hours later, the crew finds a frozen and emaciated man, Victor Frankenstein, in desperate need of sustenance. Frankenstein had been in pursuit of the gigantic man observed by Walton's crew when all but one of his dogs died. He had broken apart his dog sled to make oars and rowed an ice raft toward the vessel. Frankenstein starts to recover from his exertion and recounts his story to Walton. Before beginning his story, Frankenstein warns Walton of the wretched effects of allowing ambition to push one to aim beyond what one is capable of achieving. In telling his story to the captain, Frankenstein finds peace within himself. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont

Title: Rockbound Author: Frank Parker Day Narrator: James Banning Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: To the harsh domain of Rockbound - governed by the sternly righteous and rapacious Uriah Jung - comes the youthful David Jung to claim his small share of the island. Filled with dreamy optimism and a love for the unspoken promises of the night sky, David tries to find his way in a narrow, unforgiving, and controlled world. His conflicts are both internal and external, locking him in an unceasing struggle for survival; sometimes the sea is his enemy, sometimes his own rude behavior, sometimes his best friend Gershom Born, sometimes his secret love for the island teacher Mary Dauphiny; but always, inevitably, his Jung relatives and their manifold ambitions for money and power. The balance of life on Rockbound is precarious and thus fiercely guarded by all who inhabit its lonely domain, but just as a sudden change in the direction of the wind can lead to certain peril at sea, so too can the sudden change in the direction of a man's heart lead to a danger altogether unknown. Enormously evocative of the power, terror, and dramatic beauty of the Atlantic sea, and unrelenting in its portrait of back-breaking labour, cunning bitterness, and family strife, Rockbound is a story of many passions - love, pride, greed, and yearning - all formed and buffeted on a small island by an unyielding wind and the rocky landscape of the human spirit.

Categoria: Classics, World Literature Riepilogo Editore: Alice nel paese delle meraviglie è un inno alla fantasia e un invito a scoprire i mondi che si nascondono dietro alle ombre della nostra realtà e della nostra mente. Le sue avventure sono il frutto di un sonno estivo, certo, ma è quando apre gli occhi che Alice può ritrovare coscientemente tutte le meraviglie che ha vissuto e credere per metà che sia tutto vero. I bambini lo fanno di natura, ma anche da adulti ci vuole poco, in fondo. La voce di Daniele Fior racconta in questo audiolibro il paese di Alice dando vita a vere e proprie scene teatrali ad occhi chiusi, sulle onde di valzer, milonghe e arie che sfiorano la musica classica: una miscela sorprendente tra la narrazione e il meraviglioso mondo musicale dei Guappecartò, cinque musicisti di straordinaria sensibilità compositiva ed esecutiva. ©2017 Locomoctavia (P)2017 Locomoctavia

Title: The Call of the Wild Author: Jack London Narrator: Neil Shah Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: A fierce and yet tender tale of loyalty between man and beast, told from the point of view of a dog. The Call of the Wild is the story of a dog in the frozen Yukon told from his point of view. But this brilliantly told tale of a canine hero is in fact a graphic picture of the great gold rush to the Klondike in 1897. Brutal and fierce on one hand, it is also a story of tenderness and loyalty between man and beast and remains one of the best- selling books in American literary history.

Sembra che il titolo originale fosse "The Elliotts", ma l'autrice non ebbe la possibilità di scegliere il titolo prima della sua morte. "Persuasione" è ciò che avviene quando la protagonista del romanzo, Anna, si fa convincere da ragioni di convenienza e di rango a non sposare l'uomo che ama. Ma la vita riserverà ad Anna, anni dopo, un'altra opportunità di dar ragione ai propri sentimenti e non alle regole degli interessi di casta. Il tema è caro all'autrice, gli ambienti sono quelli descritti in altri suoi libri: campagna inglese, Bath, grandi e piccole residenze, compagnie di parenti e amici che non hanno bisogno di lavorare per vivere, e quindi si ingegnano a passare il tempo fra salotti e partite di caccia. Ma, nonostante questo, dice l'autrice, rendendosi conto che questo modo di vivere è un ostacolo per la felicità, si può essere felici, grazie "al fervore dell'animo" e "all'ardore del cuore", e utilizzando l'opportunità di una vita priva di preoccupazioni economiche per fare del bene e aiutare le persone in difficoltà. © Dominio pubblico (P)2016 Silvia Cecchini

"Villette" è il nome di una città immaginaria del continente dove una giovane donna inglese approda "in cerca di fortuna", si potrebbe dire, se in realtà la sua non fosse quasi una scelta obbligata, intrapresa per la necessità di sopravvivere e per la fuga da un deserto affettivo. "Potrei fare anche la sguattera pur di non fare l'istitutrice in una casa privata" sostiene la protagonista, ripetendo una convinzione già espressa dall'autrice nell'altro suo romanzo, "Shirley". Dunque Lucy, la protagonista, decide di impegnarsi come governante in un pensionato e presto diventa insegnante. Il romanzo di formazione al femminile segue così una linea già tracciata negli scritti dell'autrice, anche se i sentimenti, le convinzioni, vengono qui espressi più appassionatamente che nel passato. E se alcune pagine di questo libro sembreranno al lettore pervase di rabbia e pregiudizi contro la chiesa cattolica, "Roma", i "Papisti", allora che pensi all'infanzia e alla vita della scrittrice, allevata da un padre che era un severo pastore protestante, scrittore egli stesso di poemetti religiosi, educata, orfana di madre, in un collegio religioso, mortificata nella sua fame di cultura e di esperienze a causa della sua povertà. ©2015 Silvia Cecchini (P)2016 Silvia Cecchini

Ma l'ambientazione nello Yukon, durante la caccia all'oro, la vita brutale e di violenza scatenata dalla cupidigia che caratterizzò quel periodo può servire solo come monito ed esempio negativo.

Title: Dostoyevsky's The Used and Abused (Part One) Author: Robert Armin Narrator: Philip Hoffman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-16 Publisher: Moreclacke Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Dostoyevsky's The Used and Abused is a fresh retelling of an early Fyodor Dostoyevsky novel previously translated and published under such titles as Injury and Insult, The Insulted and Injured, The Insulted and Humiliated, and Humiliated and Insulted. Writing while he was serving time in a Russian prison, Dostoyevsky was heavily influenced by the novels of Charles Dickens. A frustrated love affair, an orphan girl in jeopardy, a scheming aristocrat, and an angry father who casts his daughter out of his life are just a few of the ingredients that make this lesser-known Russian novel a delight to hear. More than simply creating a new translation, novelist and playwright Robert Armin has expanded upon and enhanced the characters and dialogue of Dostoyevsky's original work to give modern listeners a full and engaging listening experience from beginning to end. The audiobook is brilliantly performed by Broadway and television actor Philip Hoffman [Orange Is the New Black, Into the Woods (original Broadway production), Fiddler on the Roof (2004), A Catered Affair, and Cabaret (2014)]. This recording contains the first half of a two-part serialization.

Marriott Watson Narrator: Cathy Dobson Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-16 Publisher: Red Door Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: H. B. Marriott Watson (1863-1921) was a prolific author who wrote over 40 books, including 17 short story collections. His writing included adventures and historical romances, mystery, fantasy and supernatural fiction. For the first nine years of his life, Marriott Watson lived in Australia. Early in 1873 Marriott Watson moved to New Zealand, where his father was incumbent of St John's, Christchurch. In 1885 he traveled to England, where he settled. Though not a prolific writer of supernatural fiction, a couple of his stories, notably 'The Devil of the Marsh' and 'The Stone Chamber', are regarded as classics of their kind. The Stone Chamber is a classic vampire story telling the strange and terrifying tale of a young man who takes up residence in an ancient abbey with a very sinister history.
