Charles Dickens: The Essential Collection by Charles Dickens | Free Audiobook
Jan 10, 201835:43:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Charles Dickens: The Essential CollectionAuthor: Charles DickensNarrator: Ellis ChristoffFormat: UnabridgedLength: 35 hrs and 43 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-10-18Publisher: PaperlessGenres: Classics, European LiteratureSummary:"Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens, originally published in serial form between 1855 and 1857. 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."- WikipediaContact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Candide by Voltaire | Free Audiobook
Jan 10, 201803:01:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: CandideAuthor: VoltaireNarrator: Kevin KollinsFormat: UnabridgedLength: 3 hrs and 1 minLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-10-18Publisher: Kevin KollinsGenres: Classics, European LiteratureSummary:"Candide is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. 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

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 EgmontKontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

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.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche | Free Audiobook
Jan 4, 201812:58:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Thus Spoke ZarathustraAuthor: Friedrich NietzscheNarrator: Kevin TheisFormat: UnabridgedLength: 12 hrs and 58 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-04-18Publisher: Bassett PublishingGenres: Classics, European LiteratureSummary:Written in the mid 1880's by Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a critically-acclaimed work centered around the "death of God" and the rise of a superhuman. 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.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
