Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Dr. Jekyll (Vanessa Kirby) is an elite international specialist in energy systems, working closely with her handler Louis (David Oyelowo) in a career that takes her across the globe to politically volatile territories such as Iran and North Korea. But when an arms dealer accuses her of having killed his family, Dr. Jekyll begins to question details of her life, who Louis really is, and whether her strange recurring dream has a greater meaning. She enlists the help of psychologist Sigrun (Sofie Gråbøl), and together they delve into Dr. Jekyll’s darker other side, a brutal assassin named… Hyde.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Historia
Meryl Streep’s performance of Colm Tóibín's acclaimed portrait of Mary is hailed by the New York Times Book Review as “an ideal audiobook,” presenting the three-time Academy Award-winner in “yet another great role.” Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Colm Tóibín's The Testament of Mary presents Mary as a solitary older woman still seeking to understand the events that become the narrative of the New Testament and the foundation of Christianity. In the ancient town of Ephesus, Mary lives alone, years after her son's crucifixion. She has no interest in collaborating with the authors of the Gospel. They are her keepers, providing her with food and shelter and visiting her regularly. She does not agree that her son is the Son of God; nor that his death was "worth it"; nor that the "group of misfits he gathered around him, men who could not look a woman in the eye," were holy disciples. This woman who we know from centuries of paintings and scripture as the docile, loving, silent, long-suffering, obedient, worshipful mother of Christ becomes a tragic heroine with the relentless eloquence of Electra or Medea or Antigone, in a portrait so vivid and convincing that our image of Mary will be forever transformed.

“IT ALL STARTED WITH MY BALLS.” So begins Colm Tóibín’s fabulously compelling essay, laced with humor, about his diagnosis and treatment for cancer. Tóibín survives, but he has entered, as he says, “the age of one ball.” Tóibín describes his education by priests, several of whom were condemned years later for abuse. He writes about Irish history and literature, and about the long, tragic journey toward legal and social acceptance of homosexuality. A Guest at the Feast is both an intimate encounter with a creative artist and a glorious celebration of writing.

Beautiful and profoundly moving, The Master tells the story of Henry James, a man born into one of America’s first intellectual families who leaves his country in the late 19th century to live in Paris, Rome, Venice, and London among privileged artists and writers. With stunningly resonant prose, “The Master is unquestionably the work of a first-rate novelist: artful, moving, and very beautiful” (The New York Times Book Review). The emotional intensity of this portrait is riveting.

Widowed at forty, with four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life, Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born. And now she fears she may be drawn back into it. Wounded, strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of her young sons, who have lost their father.

Wow! Absolutely brilliant!
I honestly can’t understand the poor ratings for this title. Colm Toibin’s beautiful writing, and Lisa Dwan’s spellbinding performance, equaled a great listen. I did use headphones, because I took into consideration what another reviewer had said. Although some parts were quiet, I had no trouble hearing them with the use of my headphones. I am always amazed at Colm Toibin’s ability to fill each line with emotion and beauty, no matter how Munding or horrific the subject matter might be.
I love his reworking of Greek tales, and hope that he will continue to write more like this in the future.
If you haven’t yet listen to his book, House of Names, it is well worth the credit. I’ve listen to it a couple of times now.
As for the performance, it was phenomenal.
I can see why he chose to write this piece for Lisa Dwan.
She was the perfect actress to convey all of the pain, heartbreak, and despair of this tragic tale.

Timeless
Deeply moving, requires a careful listen. An amazing adaptation of Sophocles tale. both the writing and the oral presentation are top notch.

Outstanding performance
Don’t plan on doing anything but listening because you will be swept away by the depth of the entire hour. Unbelievable. Thank you

Horrible reading
The story was amazing. The reading of it killed the story. The over acting was extremely hard to listen to, it really took away from the beauty of the words.

Amazing
The language transports the listener to the heights of poetic narrative. The narration is perhaps a little over the top at times but very moving.

Antigone retold
Interesting stage play about the only surviving child of Oedipus, channeling her martyred sister against the king. pretty good.

not really an audio book - think of it as a play
Didn't care for this, mainly because of the narration style which I didn'tfeel worked well for an audiobook. I'm sure Lisa Dwan is a wonderful stage actress but the style of narration made it difficult to understand at times due to big fluctuations in volume. also there was a stylized way in which she would hold out some of her "s" sounds turning them into a hiss which wasn't pleasant to the ear if turning up the volume to hear after she just went down to a quiet whisper. I did enjoy the story though and listened to the entire thing to get the full story and see how this classic Greek tragedywas handled. I got this at no cost and would likely have requested a refund due to the audio issue had I paid for it. I can't recommend this audiobook but everyone has their own taste and some might enjoy this more "over dramatized" style. I did not. Will look for another book by the author to try it out since I enjoyed the writing style.

Couldn’t understand a single word. The reader whispered, grunted and groaned and garbled the text. Too much acting.
Yes I’m hard of hearing but goodness, don’t even try this one if you are too. I really like Co Toibin’s writing, but this reader did harm.
