Krapp’s Last Tape, Not I, That Time, & A Piece of Monologue - Samuel Beckett Category: Literature, Plays & Theater Language: EnglishKeywords: Literature Theatre Shared by:ssitimefill Krapp's Last Tape, Not I, That Time, & A Piece of Monologue - Samuel Beckett Written by Samuel Beckett Read by Jim Norton, Juliet Stevenson, John Moffatt, Peter Marinker Format: MP3 Bitrate: 64 Kbps Dramatization Listening Length: 1 hour and 27 minutes These four works show Samuel Beckett at his most penetrating. Both Krapp’s Last Tape (1958) and Not I (1972) are among the most striking pieces written for the theatre in the 20th century. An old man sits at a table, playing back old tapes made when he was younger, mixed glimpses of past feelings. In Not I, we have just a mouth expressing memories and torment in a torrent of words. That Time and A Piece of Monologue are less well-known, but express the Beckettian concerns of introspection, memory, and hopelessness in different ways, yet always with sympathy for the human condition. Though written for the stage, these four monodramas are even more penetrating in the enclosed, intimate medium of the audiobook.

Dubliners (1999 Naxos Audiobooks Ltd UK) - James Joyce Category: Adults, General Fiction, Literature, Short Story Language: EnglishKeywords: James Joyce Ireland Fiction Literature Jim Norton Irish Shared by:DuckPlumber Dubliners (1999 Naxos Audiobooks Ltd UK) - James Joyce Written by James Joyce Read by Jim Norton Format: MP3 Bitrate: 256 Kbps Unabridged James Joyce - Dubliners (1999 Naxos Audiobooks Ltd UK) James Joyce’s Dubliners is a collection of short stories about the lives of the people of Dublin around the turn of the century. Each story describes a small but significant moment of crisis or revelation in the life of a particular Dubliner, sympathetically but always with stark honesty. Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it. This book holds none of the difficulties of Joyce’s later novels, such as Ulysses, yet in its way it is just as radical. These stories introduce us to the city which fed Joyce’s entire creative output, and to many of the characters who made it such a well of literary inspiration.

end to it. But there was one curious circumstance. I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight. So had the child's family, which was only natural. But the doctor's case was what struck me. He was the usual cut and dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong Edinburgh accent and about as emotional as a bagpipe. Well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my prisoner, I saw that Sawbones turn sick and white with desire to kill him. I knew what was in his mind, just as he knew what was in mine; and killing being out of the question, we did the next best. We told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this as should make his name stink from one end of London to the other. If he had any friends or any credit, we undertook that he should lose them. And all the time, as we were pitching it in red hot, we were keeping the women off him as best we could for they were as wild as harpies. I never saw a circle of such hateful faces; and there was th

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. London lawyer Utterson is driven to investigate Edward Hyde, the unlikely protégé of his friend Dr Henry Jekyll, suspecting the relationship to be founded on blackmail. The truth is worse than he could have imagined. Jekyll’s ‘full statement of the case’, the final chapter of the book, explores the idea of dual personality that led him to his experiments, and his inexorable and finally fatal descent into evil. (Summary by David Barnes)

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Treasure Island is an adventure novel, a thrilling tale of “buccaneers and buried gold.” Traditionally considered a coming of age story, it is an adventure tale of superb atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality—as seen in Long John Silver—unusual for children’s literature then and now. (Summary from wikipedia.org)

A masterful tale of ''buccaneers and buried gold''.
