H. Williams III. When young English lawyer Jonathan Harker arrives in Transylvania on the eve of Saint George's Day, he cannot shake a strange feeling of uneasiness. Dogs howl throughout the night, villagers speak fearfully of evil omens, and the air grows colder as he arrives at his destination: the castle of Count Dracula. Jonathan has been summoned by the count for business, and while he finds his new host obliging and polite, he can't help but notice the man's pallid skin, odd lack of appetite, and long daytime absences. Puzzled, the young solicitor begins to search the castle for clues - and unearths a deadly secret that could endanger him and those he loves most. Journey through the Carpathian Mountains, lose yourself in the shadowy streets of London, and experience all the action, suspense, and terror of this classic tale. Just be sure to leave a light on.

Expelled from his community, he retreats to the rustic hamlet of Raveloe to spend the remainder of his life as a misanthropic hermit, devoted only to the fortune he amasses as a linen weaver. But when his gold is taken, Silas also feels robbed of what's left of his humanity. Then, one snowy New Year's Eve, an orphan girl comes in out of the storm and changes him forever. Drawn from Eliot's empathy for the outsider, Silas Marner is the embodiment of her humanist perspective on redemption, kinship, and self-discovery.

It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, 'we must cultivate our garden', in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, 'all is for the best' in the 'best of all possible worlds'. "Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical, and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious coming-of-age narrative (Bildungsroman), it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism. "As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus." [Wikipedia] Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

It satirises the shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors' prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. The prison in this case is the Marshalsea, where Dickens's own father had been imprisoned. Dickens is also critical of the lack of a social safety net, the treatment and safety of industrial workers, as well the bureaucracy of the British Treasury, in the form of his fictional 'Circumlocution Office'. In addition he satirises the stratification of society that results from the British class system." - Wikipedia Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Der Eintönigkeit ihres Lebens versucht sie durch ständig wechselnde Liebschaften zu entkommen. Zu ihrem Sohn Franz, der Frucht einer ihrer Affären, hat sie ein distanziertes Verhältnis. Als sie durch eine Erbschaft zu etwas Geld kommt und Franz einen Betrag einfordert, kommt es zur Katastrophe. Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) war ein österreichischer Erzähler und Dramatiker. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Moderne. Arthur Schnitzler kam als erster Sohn der insgesamt vier Kinder des jüdischen Laryngologen Johann Schnitzler und dessen Gattin Luise geb. Markbreiter in Wien zur Welt. Von 1871 bis 1879 besuchte er das Akademische Gymnasium und legte die Matura mit Auszeichnung ab. Danach studierte er an der Universität Wien Medizin. Arthur Schnitzler begann früh, als Verfasser literarischer Texte und Gedichte aufzutreten. Sein literarisches Debüt gab er mit Liebeslied der Ballerine 1880 und seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gehörte er zu den meistgespielten Dramatikern auf deutschen Bühnen. Schnitzler schrieb Dramen und Prosa (hauptsächlich Erzählungen), in denen er das Augenmerk vor allem auf die psychischen Vorgänge seiner Figuren lenkt. Gleichzeitig mit dem Einblick in das Innenleben der Schnitzlerschen Figuren bekommt der Leser auch ein Bild von der Gesellschaft, die diese Gestalten und ihr Seelenleben prägt. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

After a night of troubled dreams, Gregor Samsa wakes to discover that he has turned into a huge, monstrous, cockroach-like creature, with an armour-plated back and multiple limbs. Gradually, he comes to terms with his new state - but his parents and sister are horrified and increasingly revolted. To them, Gregor is unclean, verminous and entirely repellent, and as he becomes more and more of a burden, their horror turns to a terrible indifference.... First published in 1915, Kafka's surreal existential novella explores concepts such as the absurdity of life, alienation and the disconnect between mind and body. Read by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Trek, The Imitation Game), this tale - often described as one of the greatest in the history of fiction - is chilling, captivating and darkly comic.

A philosophical and moral examination of good versus evil, divine versus mortal, and power versus submission are all encapsulated in the musings of Zarathustra. Zarathustra's doctrine is the idea of eternal recurrence, which claims that all events repeat themselves, and that to achieve a higher state of mind, man must accept each moment as it comes. Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a compelling, thought-provoking piece on what it means to understand internal peace and to conflict with the mundane repetition of life on Earth.

Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titre: 700 citations des grands écrivains français du XIXème siècle Auteur: Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Gustave Flaubert, Alexandre Dumas, François de Chateaubriand, Alfred de Musset Narrateur: Nicolas Planchais, Élodie Huber Format: Unabridged Durée: 3 hrs and 16 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 12-27-17 Éditeur: Compagnie du Savoir Genres: Classics, European Literature Résumé: Le XIXe siècle en France est un âge d'or littéraire, marqué par des courants très affirmés comme le romantisme, le réalisme, le naturalisme ou le symbolisme, et une évolution moderne de la poésie et du roman qui donna naissance à des chefs-dœuvre en nombre inégalé. Cette collection de citations présente la pensée de sept figures incontournables du XIXe siècle sous forme concise et accessible. Victor Hugo est l'un des écrivains de langue française les plus importants, et il fut aussi un intellectuel engagé qui joua un rôle majeur dans l'histoire du XIXe siècle. Sa production toucha tous les genres et lui valut un immense succès populaire. Honoré de Balzac est un des maîtres du roman français, qui excella surtout dans la veine du réalisme. Dans ses romans, caractérisés par un style économe et resserré, Stendhal cherche "la vérité, l'âpre vérité" dans le domaine psychologique, et campe essentiellement des jeunes gens aux aspirations romantiques de vitalité, de force du sentiment et de rêve de gloire. Gustave Flaubert a marqué la littérature universelle par la profondeur de ses analyses psychologiques, son souci de réalisme, son regard lucide sur les comportements des individus et de la société, et par la force de son style. Les romans d'aventure d'Alexandre Dumas sont portés par la fougue de son style et son succès est toujours immense. Chateaubriand est l'un des précurseurs du romantisme français, grâce à ses descriptions de la nature et son analyse des sentiments. Alfred de Musset est un des grands écrivains romantiques français, dont le théâtre et la poésie lyrique montrent une sensibilité extrême, une interrogation sur la pureté et la débauche. La pensée de chaque auteur est résumée en 100 citations marquantes et essentielles, faciles à mémoriser et à s'approprier ; ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

He was also known as perhaps the greatest genius of the English Renaissance possibly the best-educated man of his day and also a major theorist of classical learning for Christians. The man who wrote the seminal words 'The end then of Learning is to repair the ruines of our first Parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him....' (Of Education, 1644) argues across all his voluminous writings that the purpose of education is soul work for virtue as opposed to information gathering for profit. In this book, Milton scholar Professor Grant Horner from The Master's College examines the poet's powerful vision of a Christian and classical education. Trained at Duke University by Stanley Fish, the world's most influential Miltonist, Horner approaches the text as a Christian educator himself, bringing the complex seventeenth-century texts into modern light for practical application. Addressing questions such as how to handle pagan texts, how to develop a theology of aesthetics, and why we must grapple with the relationship between pagan wisdom and scripture, this book will serve as a thorough and readable introduction to the complex thought of one of the Puritan intellectual giants.

Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Genres: Classics, British Literature Summary: Flatland is populated by Squares, Triangles, Circles, and Lines, all of which are strictly divided by class and gender. However, our narrator, A Square, living a practical life in this two-dimensional universe, dreams of other worlds. Perhaps A Sphere, a figure from a three-dimensional realm, can help drive home the point. But, as A Square soon discovers, educating Flatland about the shapes of things to come proves to be a dangerous infraction. Published in 1884, Abbott's intricately imaginative novella, which became a classic in the era of Einstein, was a skewering of social hierarchy that inspired Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and anyone who dared to think - literally - outside the box.

Mit der kunstreichen Feder eines großen Autors hat Böll hier Folkloristisches, Literarisches, Geschichtliches und Soziales zu einem feinsinnigen Porträt der Insel, seiner Landschaften, seiner Bewohner und Atmosphären zusammengefügt. Kein Geringerer als Carl Zuckmayer schrieb etwa zehn Jahre nach Erscheinen des Bandes über Bölls "Irisches Tagebuch": "Ich halte dieses Buch für eines der schönsten und wertvollsten, die in den letzten fünfzig Jahren geschrieben worden sind." Wie auch immer: Diese einfühlsame "Liebeserklärung an ein Land" des 1985 verstorbenen Nobelpreisträgers ist auch sechzig Jahre nach seiner Erstveröffentlichung noch immer ein äußerst lesens-, wie auch hörenswertes Buch - nicht nur für Irlandfans. Und für alle, die schon einmal auf der Grünen Insel waren oder eine solche Reise planen oder auch nur davon träumen, ist es ohnehin ein Muss! Geboren 1917 in Köln, diente er während des Zweiten Weltkriegs als Soldat in der Wehrmacht. Anfang der 1950er Jahren begann Bölls Schriftstellerkarriere und er veröffentlichte neben zahlreichen Erzählungen und Kurzgeschichten unter anderem die Werke "Irisches Tagebuch" (1957) und "Ansichten eines Clowns" (1963). Böll machte sich einen Namen als vehementer Kritiker des politischen Etablissements und wurde Anfang der 1970er Jahre Präsident des PEN-Clubs. Nach der Veröffentlichung eines skandalumwitterten Essays über Ulrike Meinhof im Spiegel wurde ihm fälschlicherweise vorgeworfen, ein Sympathisant des RAF-Terrorismus zu sein. Eines seiner bekanntesten Werke, "Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum" erschien 1974 als Reaktion auf seine Erfahrungen im Zusammenhang mit dieser Affäre. Sein Leben lang nahm Böll aktiv Anteil am politischen Geschehen im In- und Ausland und setzte sich ein für Frieden und Menschenrechte. 1985 verstarb er in seinem Haus in der Eifel. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titre: 600 citations des grands écrivains français du XVIIème siècle Auteur: Jean de La Bruyère, Jean de La Fontaine, Jean Racine, Pierre Corneille, François de La Rochefoucauld, Molière Narrateur: Nicolas Planchais Format: Unabridged Durée: 2 hrs and 51 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 12-22-17 Éditeur: Compagnie du Savoir Genres: Classics, European Literature Résumé: Le XVIIe siècle est un siècle majeur pour la langue et la littérature française. Poésie et théâtre se développent avec force, le classicisme s'impose avec un nombre de chefs d'œuvre rarement atteint tandis que le roman naît et s'épanouit parallèlement aux productions des moralistes et des fabulistes : rarement époque aura produit autant de grands écrivains, dont la marque est indélébile dans l'ensemble de la culture. Cette collection de citations présente la pensée de six figures incontournables du XVIIe siècle sous forme concise, accessible et pratique. La Bruyère est célèbre pour une œuvre unique, Les Caractères, chronique essentielle de lesprit du XVIIe siècle. Jean de la Fontaine s'inspira des fabulistes de l'Antiquité pour écrire les Fables qui firent sa renommée, en y adjoignant son brillant maniement des vers à son ambition moraliste. Jean Racine est l'un des plus grands auteurs de tragédies de la période classique en France, du succès d'Andromaque à Phèdre en passant par les Plaideurs. Pierre Corneille commença par la comédie pour se tourner ensuite vers la tragédie historique, donnant naissance aux plus grands chefs-dœuvre du théâtre français. Le duc de la Rochefoucauld voyait la politique comme un jeu d'échecs, et écrivit les Maximes comme une dénonciation inlassable de toutes les apparences de vertu. Enfin, le comédien et dramaturge Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit Molière, sut occuper une place si importante dans la production littéraire que désormais, le français est couramment désigné comme "la langue de Molière", au même titre que l'anglais est "la langue de Shakespeare". La pensée de chaque auteur est résumée en 100 citations marquantes et essentielles, faciles à mémoriser et à s'approprier ; ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Cette collection de citations présente la pensée de six figures incontournables du XVIIIe siècle sous forme concise, accessible et pratique. Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais est une figure importante du siècle des Lumières, dont le combat pour la liberté d'opinion se résume ainsi dans sa plus célèbre pièce : "Sans la liberté de blâmer, il n'est point d'éloge flatteur". Montesquieu est un penseur politique dont les écrits remettent en cause les systèmes sociaux établis, parfois avec une ironie mordante. L'un des fondateurs de l'Encyclopédie, Diderot s'est essayé à divers genres sur lesquels il a à chaque fois laissé une empreinte de maître, notamment en philosophie où il préfère encourager l'autonomie du lecteur plutôt que lui imposer un système rigide. Maître de l'ironie et du mot d'esprit, Voltaire s'est battu sans relâche pour la liberté d'expression et contre l'oppression de l'institution catholique. Rousseau s'est montré précurseur dans de nombreux domaines, que ce soit le genre autobiographique ou le mouvement romantique dont il est l'une des premières figures. Enfin, Nicolas de Chamfort fut un des écrivains les plus appréciés par les salons parisiens, et ses notes manuscrites furent par la suite rassemblées en Maximes et pensées, caractères et anecdotes, une œuvre brillante et spirituelle. La pensée de chaque auteur est résumée en 100 citations marquantes et essentielles, faciles à mémoriser et à s'approprier ; ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Forster Narrator: Jan Cramer Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Genres: Classics, British Literature Summary: Set in freewheeling Florence, Italy, and sober Surrey, England, E. M. Forster's beloved third novel follows young Lucy Honeychurch's journey to self-discovery at a transitional moment in British society. As Lucy is exposed to opportunities previously not afforded to women, her mind - and heart - must open. Before long, she's in love with an "unsuitable" man and is faced with an impossible choice: follow her heart or be pressured into propriety. A challenge to persistent Victorian ideals as well as a moving love story, A Room with a View has been celebrated for both its prescient view of women's independence and its reminder to live an honest, authentic life. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to listen to a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

But when Candide falls in love with the wrong woman, his uncle's young daughter, he is exiled from the baron's castle and suffers great tragedy and catastrophe, which leaves him disillusioned and questioning the goodness of the universe. Penned in just three days - and published in secret because of its blasphemous and seditious nature - Voltaire's legendary satire deftly skewers religious, romantic, and political naïveté with an acerbic and ribald wit that delights to this day. Revised edition: Previously published as Candide, this edition of Candide (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Cette collection de citations présente la pensée de cinq auteurs incontournables du XXe siècle sous forme concise, accessible et pratique. C'est en 1907 que Marcel Proust commence l'écriture de son chef d'œuvre À la recherche du temps perdu dont les sept tomes sont publiés entre 1913 (Du côté de chez Swann) et 1927, c'est-à-dire en partie après sa mort ; son œuvre est une réflexion majeure sur le temps et la mémoire affective, l'amour et la jalousie, et les fonctions de l'art qui doit proposer ses propres mondes. Jules Renard a connu le succès avec L'Écornifleur, publié en 1892, qui raconte l'histoire d'un littérateur parasite, puis Poil de Carotte ; son Journal est un témoignage précieux sur la vie littéraire de la Belle Époque. Anatole France est un des plus grands écrivains de l'époque de la Troisième République, dont il a également été un des plus importants critiques littéraires. Les essais de Paul Valéry traduisent ses inquiétudes sur la pérennité de la civilisation, l'avenir des "droits de l'esprit", le rôle de la littérature dans la formation, et la rétroaction du progrès sur l'homme. Jean Giraudoux a participé comme d'autres dramaturges des années 1930-1940 (Cocteau, Anouilh, Sartre, Camus par exemple) à la réécriture des mythes antiques éclairés par les mentalités modernes. Il a su allier fantaisie poétique et goût pour les images insolites, et également associer tragique et léger. La pensée de chaque auteur est résumé en 100 citations marquantes et essentielles, faciles à mémoriser et à s'approprier ; ce format concis et accessible est idéal pour la préparation aux examens et aux concours (bac, capes, agrégation...), la culture générale et le développement personnel. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Il espère l'arracher à la frivolité des salons comme aux hommages de tous ceux qui la convoitent, obtenir d'elle un véritable amour. Célimène l'estime, elle a de l'affection pour lui, mais elle volette sans cesse devant tous, éblouissante, insaisissable, sans que jamais il ne puisse même la rencontrer seul à seule pour lui demander ses sentiments réels, un engagement définitif. Le jeu a trop duré. Alceste entend avoir aujourd'hui une explication décisive. L'obtiendra-t-il ? Sans cesse, des "fâcheux" s'interposent. Alceste envoie même à tous les diables son ami Philinte, dont les complaisances et la sagesse résignée l'irritent ce matin plus que jamais. A-t-il voulu se moquer constamment d'Alceste, nous rendre sensibles avant tout à ses ridicules ? Nous propose-t-il Philinte comme un modèle ? Critiques et comédiens n'ont pas cessé d'en discuter depuis trois siècles. Les circonstances de l'écriture du Misanthrope : 1665-1666, sombre période pour Molière. Il est malade et doit renoncer à jouer pour une longue période. Il essaie sans succès d'obtenir l'autorisation de jouer le Tartuffe en représentations publiques. Dom Juan reste interdit ; son mariage enfin n'est pas heureux, Armande a deux ans de moins que lui et lui fait sentir. Molière écrit donc le Misanthrope , son chef-d'œuvre. La pièce est créée le 4 juin, et Armande, sa femme, y joue le rôle de Célimène. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Il se croit malade, et l'est en fait pour s'abandonner, presque avec délice, à toutes les prescriptions saugrenues que lui ordonnent médecins et apothicaires en qui il a mis sa confiance. Béline, sa seconde femme, flatte ce penchant dans l'espoir de recueillir bientôt seule l'héritage de son époux, manœuvrant son mari pour le décider à faire entrer ses deux filles d'un premier lit dans un couvent. Argan, quant à lui, caresse un autre projet : faire épouser Angélique, sa fille ainée, par un médecin. Mais Angélique aime Cléante, et le prétendant est parfaitement ridicule. Ce benêt de Thomas Diafoirus, médecin, fils de médecin, croit réfuter par des syllogismes absurdes la théorie de la circulation du sang contre laquelle il vient précisément de soutenir la thèse de doctorat. Quand il écrit Le malade imaginaire, Molière, au-delà de griefs personnels évidents contre les médecins, prend part à un débat où se trouve engager l'avenir de l'esprit scientifique. Il se déclare contre les Anciens et pour les modernes de son temps. Les circonstances de la pièce : 1673, pour célébrer les succès de Louis XIV en Hollande, Molière écrit Le malade imaginaire. La pièce est un succès. Ce sera la dernière pièce de Molière, qui meurt un soir après quelques représentations, après avoir fait un malaise sur scène quelques heures plus tôt. ©2017 Compagnie du Savoir (P)2017 Compagnie du Savoir Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
