    The Beautiful and Damned
    The publication of The Beautiful and Damned confirmed F. Scott Fitzgerald's place in the pantheon of great American writers. The story chronicles the courtship, fraught marriage, and social demise of Anthony Patch, the presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, and Gloria Gilbert, a ravishing society girl. Brilliant and scathing, it is a dazzling tale of lost youth and dissipation that spares no one-least of all the protagonists who resemble, in substance if not circumstance, Fitzgerald himself and his charismatic, capricious, wife, Zelda. This vivid portrait of a corrupt, rootless, and boozy age anticipates Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, and signals his fascination with the themes that would continue to animate his work. This edition includes a biographical timeline of the author's life and the full text of Zelda Fitzgerald's spoof review of The Beautiful and the Damned, which appeared in the New York Tribune.

    Love Story: Audio Book Bestseller Classics Collection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    Imagine a future in which traditional gender roles are reversed and men have quite literally become enslaved to the capricious whims of their female masters. Irving E. Cox created a masterpiece, a futuristic story where men, and not women, are marketable products in a matriarchal, and not patriarchal, society. The role reversal as propounded in this story sounds unthinkable in our times, but it sounds plausible at some point in the distant future. This story shows how love always is a major part of life...and how it can either aid or break someone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Montanez.

    Far From the Madding Crowd , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 943min
    Thomas Hardy brings us an England that once existed but no more. It is rural, traditional, pastoral - a society of mannered conduct that flows like a deep river where powerful currents eddy and swirl. In this powerful novel of love and disillusion, Hardy's heroine is torn between the three men in her life. Passionate but capricious, her romantic involvements have fascinated generations of readers. It was as a poet that Hardy wished to be remembered, but today critics regard his novels as an even more memorable contribution to English literature for their psychological insight, their instinctive delineation of English character, and their profound presentation of great tragedy. ungekürzt.
