Perfection
Revisado: 04-22-24
The work of one of the greatest poets of the English language, read by the author, who happens to be also one of the great performers and teachers of poetry. I've listened to all three volumes multiple times. This is an experience rightly to be envied, one that has elevated my life and will mark it forever.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

The actual book The Art of War, not a commentary

Lovely reading.
Revisado: 09-19-22
This text establishes and preaches the same cynical gospel as The Prince, but does so more elegantly. And Gillen's performance is sympathetic and compelling.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

Gorgeous classic, uneven recording
Revisado: 07-14-22
Gyllenhaal is equal to Fitzgerald's voluptuous prose; however the recording was pieced together from numerous takes, and the abrupt changes in timbre and ambience, sometimes in the middle of paragraphs, was distracting. That said, the perfect voice and training to read this work.

A Blast
Revisado: 07-12-22
Curry is really into it, but makes it sound like a classic at the same time. Pleasurable and exciting.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

- De: George Eliot
- Narrado por: Juliet Stevenson
A great masterpiece read with love and generosity.
Revisado: 08-09-18
Juliet Stevenson performs Middlemarch as if she had written it herself, for us, her younger siblings, alternately admonishing us with its deep grasp of human nature and social folly, and elevating us with its erudition and glorious language. George Elliot's sublime novel comes to us fully realized - gentle, wise, vivid, encouraging.
