The Karamazov brothers are as different as mind, body, and spirit. Ivan, an atheist and brooding intellectual; Dmitri, a volatile sensualist and his father's rival for the beautiful Grushenka; and Alexey, driven by unshakeable piety. In their shadow is their rejected half-brother, humiliated into servitude. Together they act to rid themselves of the dissolute Karamazov patriarch. Then, in a single shocking act, the fates of the brothers are inexorably altered.

Excellent narration
Revisado: 04-29-20
I carefully picked out the audio version of this book because I knew the Russian names are always an issue. I took a chance on this one even though it had zero reviews because I liked the sample. I'm glad I took the chance. The names were clear and easy to understand. The inflections were perfect. I enjoyed it very much while painting my bedroom. The story? I know it's a classic and at heart its a good book. I just felt it was like listening to someone with dementia veering off the subject into some philosophical rabbit hole ad nauseam.

This magnificent biography of Henry VIII is set against the cultural, social and political background of his court - the most spectacular court ever seen in England - and the splendour of his many sumptuous palaces. An entertaining narrative packed with colourful description and a wealth of anecdotal evidence, but also a comprehensive analytical study of the development of both monarch and court during a crucial period in English history.

This book was really well done by audible. Sometimes the narrators can make or break an audiobook. This time it's listening perfection. A tad short. A tad "skimming" over events but an overal nice listen.

Narrated by the mother of Russia’s last tsar, this vivid, historically authentic novel brings to life the courageous story of Maria Feodorovna, one of Imperial Russia’s most compelling women, who witnessed the splendor and tragic downfall of the Romanovs as she fought to save her dynasty in its final years.

Love this book. Its Henry from his point of view. The book is long so I prefer it in audio form. I love all things Tudor and this book fits the bill.
