Actor Richard Kiley performs this classic novel from legendary author Mark Twain, a skilled satirist whose work forms an integral part of the American literary canon. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court tells the story of a man who finds himself transported in time and space from late-19th-century America to early medieval England, where the adventures he embarks upon with King Arthur and his knights serve as an opportunity for Twain to humorously experiment with the role that modern knowledge and technologies could play in an old-fashioned setting.
Kiley’s rich and expressive voice adds great depth to this lively audiobook, enhancing the experience of Twain’s masterful storytelling, and adeptly bringing this bizarre tale to life for listeners.

Geschichte
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Geschichte
This treasured historical satire, played out in two very different socioeconomic worlds of 16th-century England, centers around the lives of two boys born in London on the same day: Edward, Prince of Wales and Tom Canty, a street beggar. During a chance encounter, the two realize they are identical and, as a lark, decide to exchange clothes and roles--a situation that briefly, but drastically, alters the lives of both youngsters.

Geschichte
La vida y extrañas y sorprendentes aventuras de Robinson Crusoe, publicada en 1719, no es solo uno de los clásicos más leídos de todos los tiempos, sino que, en rigor, se trata de la primera de las grandes novelas inglesas, un texto fundacional. La historia es de todos conocida: Robinson Crusoe naufraga y acaba, solo, en una isla desierta. Poco a poco descubrirá que no está tan solo en la isla, habitada también por los caníbales. Con los restos de su barco, construirá una cabaña y una balsa. Salvará de los caníbales a un nativo, Viernes, que se convertirá en su fiel escudero.

Geschichte
Lemuel Gulliver, a slightly staid ship’s doctor, relates the tales of his astonishing travels. He encounters the tiny, warring Lilliputians; the giant, sceptical Brobdingnagians; the ludicrously intellectual Laputans; and the idealistic - if rather stolid - Houyhnhnms and their bestial servants, the Yahoos. An immediate best seller when it was first published in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels has remained a favourite ever since. It was an attack on the politics and society of Swift’s day, but it is also a polemical, inventive, surreal, vitriolic, and wonderfully imaginative masterpiece.
