    How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
    Originally published in Harte's 1875 short-story collection The Tales of the Argonauts, "How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar" is set in California in the early 1860s and, like the rest of the tales in that collection, features the gold-seeking Argonauts. In this tale, like many of Harte's others, the folly and grit of human existence balance any good intentions, good cheer, or hope, resulting in a more complicated and somewhat bleak ending than is commonly found in most Christmas tales. This recording of "How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar" was recorded as part of Dreamscape's Classic Christmas Stories: A Collection of Timeless Holiday Tales. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Leopard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
    Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time. Although Giuseppe di Lampedusa had long had the book in mind, he began writing it only in his late 50s; he died at age 60, soon after the manuscript was rejected as unpublishable. Here, finally, is the definitive edition of this brilliant and timeless novel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini.
