Featured Listen
Marking the debut of British author William Golding, Lord of the Flies tackles the grim realities of human nature through the eyes of young boys cast away on an uninhabited island. Published in 1954, this allegorical novel examines the catastrophic attempts of these boys to govern themselves with no adults in sight.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
