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.

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.

Why a poetry album? Easy answer: I love poetry. I love reading it. I love memorizing it. I love hearing great actors recite it. As the poet Mark Strand wrote, “Ink runs from the corners of my mouth / There is no happiness like mine / I have been eating poetry.” In the past, when I was full from eating, I have had the audacity to set poetry to music. But, on this audiobook, you will hear the music of the poems.

For sustained dramatic intrigue and sophistication of plot, William Shakespeare's sonnets are at least the equal of his greatest plays. Throughout the centuries since their first publication in 1609, critics, psychologists and curiosity-seekers alike have pondered the nature of the poet's relationships with the mysterious young man, "Mr. W.H.", and the "ill-coloured" Dark lady.

Wonderful Readings
I really loved this disc, which was originally recorded as a tribute to the life of Princess Di. The readings are incredible, and my favorite was John Cleese's reading of Owl & The Pussycat. The poetry selections are perfect to follow the line of Shakespeare's ages of man and the readers were wonderfully chosen. High recommend.

Nice but hard to handle
It is really hard to go back to a specific poem with no index. It lessens the enjoyability since you have to guess if you want to go back to the beginning of a poem.

I'd never understood poetry's appeal...until now!
I bought this primarily for my Mom, who is great poetry lover, so she could listen to it in my car during long trips. I thought it would be short enough that I wouldn't be bored...I have never cared for poetry, or so I thought.
What a complete surprise....this is an absolutely outstanding piece of work!
I listened to it all in one sitting...I couldn't turn it off. I laughed, and I wept....and all of it made me think. This is a wonderful collection. I was so stunned at the depth of emotion I experienced listening it that I had to write this review immediately to inform other like-minded individuals of what they've been missing.
I was vaguely familiar with some of the poems, but I never quite understood them when reading them in print. What a difference HEARING them has made to my perspective! Listening to Michael Caine, and Judi Dench, and Ralph Fiennes and all of the others was a real pleasure. The emotions conjured up by these virtuoso readers has really opened my eyes to how powerful poetry can be. The order that they were presented was very appealing as well, starting with poems about birth and childhood, through those about romantic love and war and middle age, to those about old age and death. And managing to end such a collection on a hopeful note was truly inspiring. I just loved it!
I may never attempt to READ poetry again, but I fully expect that I will LISTEN to this collection many times in the future.
I'd like to express my thanks to another reviewer, ESK from Russia, for taking the time to list all of the poems, their authors and the name of the readers. Very helpful.
This is a treat to the soul....HIGHLY recommended.

Performance vary; Organization could be better
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Performance vary by narrator. Some are good (e.g. Ian Mckellen) while some are unexpectedly disappointing.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, this is a book that you want to absorb in stages.
Any additional comments?
I wish there's an option to replay a specific section over and over again or to skip to a specific poem. What I ended up doing was making separate notes at the beginning of each poem so that I could skip to that part.

Definitely worth a listening!! Honestly worth many!!!
It is a wonderful book! I never write reviews but I felt I must express how wonderful it is. Me and my two children (7yr old & a 17 month old), and they both had their favorite ones. My daughter lived Macaverity the Car & The End. My son loved the Prologue from Macbeth and the way the person preformed in did it in a way that really highlighted, by beginning whispering it all and it made my Sons ears and eyes pop up land pay complete attention to the whole thing! I loved so many myself that I most likely listened to each poem between 3-10 times. There are many great ones by Shakespeare, of course, but there was also many amazing ones by Christina Rossetti, who I had never heard from but was very IMPRESSED by her work.
Honesty I would say that they are all great and enjoyable in one way or another. By being beautiful and with perfect cadences, or being heartfelt, or humorous, etc. All enjoy in one way or another. Definitely worth the Listen!

Surprising
I was really not expecting so many favouites so well read.
Some not read or heard in many years.
Even if you are not so interested in the Seven Ages aspect, this is a very good selection.
Thanks reviewer 'ESK' , for the list.

Life is poetry and poetry gives life
Would you consider the audio edition of Seven Ages to be better than the print version?
I consider this a compliment to the print version and to be enjoyed with the written work.
Any additional comments?
I listened to the poems as a warm up for my own writing. I also listened to the poems while studying for a comprehensive literature exam. These works were helpful in successfully completing the test.
