Historia
These two great poems date from Shakespeare’s early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love - but he only wants to hunt boar. In the more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare draws on the Roman tale of the Emperor Tarquin’s desire for Lucrece and its tragic consequencies. These poems give prominent parts to the two heroines, and Clare Corbett and Eve Best shine.

Amazing
Revisado: 11-20-21
Shakespeare is at his best in these long form narrative poems and this collection of narrators really bring these stories to life in a way that is hard to explain. So well done.

Historia
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Amazing. But here is the Chapter Breakdown.
Revisado: 09-25-21
This book and narration is amazing as many people already know. Unfortunately, the Audible chapter selection is horrific and it is basically impossible to find any single chapter out of the 135 original chapters in Moby Dick including the Epilogue. This is due to the fact that they jam multiple chapters from the book into single "chapters" (there are 19 total "chapters" in this Audible version) with no option to select individual, original chapters from the book. I am not sure if anyone has done this before, so here is a comprehensive breakdown of the chapter locations. It took 11 hours, but it is checked and double checked. The time stamps in () after the chapter titles are the locations where the original Moby Dick chapter begins within a given Audible "chapter." The time stamp to the side of it (not exact but close) is the running time stamp that may be helpful when using Audible in your browser.
