Many of us are familiar with the epic stories and legends of the classical world. This anthology, the only one of its kind on audiobook, gives an insight into a more lyrical and tender aspect of Greek and Roman literature. From Homer's lofty lines on the loves of the gods to the earthier verse of Catullus to his mistress Lesbia, this recording encompasses the major love poetry written between the 8th century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D.

I have been going back to it
Revisado: 06-26-23
I have been going back to it since the end of the 1990s, when Naxos put it out on CD.
I know some of the poems by heart now.
A true gem. Great voice actors.

Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn. Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect.

Entertaining, riveting, profound
Revisado: 06-17-21
I had already read the book, now I have listened to it.
It’s Michael Crichton at the top of his form, placing his characters in the ethical labyrinths of modern (here, biogenetic) science.

Once again Michael Crichton gives us his trademark combination of page-turning suspense, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research. State of Fear is a superb blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and thought provoking commentary on how information is manipulated in the modern world.

Michael Crichton again held me spellbound.
And in true Crichton fashion, the scientific “essays” included within the thriller structure are half the pleasure.
Morton’s (a character in the book) suggestions for improving scientific research are spot on.

A Zoo in My Luggage is the colorful, first-hand account of Gerald Durrell's six-month animal-collecting trip in British Cameroon, and his attempts to create his own zoo. Motivated by a passion for wildlife, and a desire to save endangered species from extinction, Durrell assembles a glorious panoply of exotic animals - including a female baboon called Georgina, who later runs amok in a department store; a black-eared squirrel, who tries to bury nuts in his ear; and a gentlemanly chimpanzee named Chumly, who greets him with an outstretched hand.

A phenomenon
Revisado: 02-20-21
Gerald Durrell’s books are a phenomenon that has been giving pure pleasure to people for more than half a century.
I grew up on them — my whole family grew up on them.
Here, in the Czech Republic, they are very popular, and we can enjoy them in excellent, loving “old-school” translations and in the original.
And these years, I can even listen to them unabridged!
Too wonderful.
Get all the Durrell books and treasure them for generations!

Scott Adams has likely failed at more things than anyone you’ve ever met or anyone you’ve even heard of. So how did he go from hapless office worker and serial failure to the creator of Dilbert, one of the world’s most famous syndicated comic strips, in just a few years? In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Adams shares the game plan he’s followed since he was a teen: invite failure in, embrace it, then pick its pocket.

The inspiration for the BBC series of the same name. Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, to the young James Herriot 1930s Yorkshire seems to offer an idyllic pocket of rural life in a rapidly changing world. But from his erratic new colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, to incomprehensible farmers, herds of semiferal cattle, a pig called Nugent and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo, James find he is on a learning curve as steep as the hills around him.

main currents of world history
Revisado: 10-16-16
What did you love best about A Brief History of the World?
It gives you a way of thinking about world history in an abstractly practical - or practically abstract - way.
It focuses on the main themes, forces, topics, currents shaping it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's definitely not be listened to in a single sitting. Listen to one, two, three lectures a day.
Any additional comments?
I recommend it to anyone who wants to make sense of world history.

Brief Lives are some of the wittiest and most moving miniature portraits ever written. Aubrey's little biographies are amusing, ribald, moving; a testament to the brevity of human existence and one of the most precious relics of a distant age.

I have listened to it over and over
Revisado: 05-26-11
I heartily recommend it. The writing is very original and Brian Cox is superb, as always: I think John Aubrey himself could not have narrated it better. He captures the spirit of the writing. For me it's an all-time classic, and phrases and whole passages from this recording (which I first had as a CD from Naxos years ago) are my constant companions. But again, as I believe one reviewer has said, don't expect autobiographies: these are vignettes. But in terms of vignettes, I have never seen anything to compare with them.
