Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

One of the most revered works in English literature, Great Expectations traces the coming of age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

When her father leaves the Church, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. In North and South Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.

"Ayala's Angel" (1878) is a novel by Anthony Trollope. The story focuses on two orphaned sisters, Ayala and Lucy Dormer, and their trials, first with their relatives, then of the heart. As in most Trollope novels, pages are given over to subplots related to the main plot. Excerpt from the book: "It was now the beginning of February. As Tom and his uncle had walked from Somerset House the streets were dry and the weather fine; but, as Mr. Dosett had remarked, the wind was changing a little out of the east and threatened rain.

"Ayala's Angel" (1878) is a novel by Anthony Trollope. The story focuses on two orphaned sisters, Ayala and Lucy Dormer, and their trials, first with their relatives, then of the heart. As in most Trollope novels, pages are given over to subplots related to the main plot. Excerpt from the book: "It was now the beginning of February. As Tom and his uncle had walked from Somerset House the streets were dry and the weather fine; but, as Mr. Dosett had remarked, the wind was changing a little out of the east and threatened rain.

Oscar Wilde's first play confronts the hypocrisy of public "morality" compared with genuine, private kindness. The reasons for its continued popularity are not difficult to identify: the play's witty dialogue contains many of Wilde's most quoted aphorisms, its stylish setting provides opportunities for elegant presentation, and its cast of memorable characters play out a story which is genuinely moving. This new audio production brings together a full cast worthy of Wilde's creative genius.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

"Emma", un roman emblématique de Jane Austen publié pour la première fois en 1815, est une exploration raffinée et subtile des dynamiques sociales, des illusions et de la maturité émotionnelle au sein de la société anglaise de la Régence. L'histoire se concentre sur Emma Woodhouse, une jeune femme riche et intelligente, mais aussi légèrement gâtée et un peu trop confiante dans son propre jugement. Orpheline de mère et dotée d'un père excessivement protecteur, Emma se sent responsable de gérer les affaires sociales de son petit village de Highbury.

Jane Austen’s most popular novel, originally published in 1813, some 17 years after it was first written, presents the Bennet family of Longbourn. Against the background of gossipy Mrs. Bennet and the detached Mr. Bennet, the quest is on for husbands for the five daughters. The spotlight falls on Elizabeth, second eldest, who is courted by Mr. Darcy, though initially she is more concerned with the fate of her other sisters. This marvelous account of family life in Regency England is read with customary panache by Juliet Stevenson.

Dombey and Son is vintage Dickens and explores the classic themes of betrayal, cruelty and deceit. Dombey's dysfunctional relationships are painted against a backdrop of social unrest in industrialized London, which is populated by a host of fascinating and memorable secondary characters. The complete and unabridged novel is brought spectacularly to life by veteran reader David Timson.

Arguably Jane Austen's most popular novel, Emma is a vivid, captivating, and irresistibly witty classic about love and marriage.

Pride and Prejudice may be her most famous novel, Persuasion her most deeply affecting, but for many, Emma is Austen’s best novel; the most perfectly balanced between comedy and insight, sparkle and depth. Witty, headstrong Emma Woodhouse, more interested in making matches for others than falling in love herself, is a wholly delightful heroine.

First published in 1816 and generally considered Jane Austen's finest work, Emma is a humorous portrayal of a heroine whose injudicious interferences in the life of a young parlour-boarder in a neighboring village often lead to substantial mortification. Austen brings to life a myriad of engaging characters as she presents a mixture of social classes as she did in Pride and Prejudice.

205 years old and still relevant!!
This novel is 205 years old!!! and speaks to the way women are held back by society Jane Austen had a rare gift. I hope she knows how much she’s treasured how much joy she’s brought to billions. This novel has been translated into over 200 languages. Classic English literature. So tragic she never saw success in her lifetime
Beautifully narration. Thank you

Outstanding narration brought Emma to life!
I had a great time re-listening to Emma. Jane Austen said of her heroine that she had created a character no one would like, except her. I beg to differ. Whereas Emma was arrogant and condescending at the outset, the whole book tracks her "awakening" as she recognizes her flaws and tries to improve. The superb narrator fully fleshed out the characters, especially the odious Mrs Elton, the excruciatingly boring Miss Bates, and "poor" Mr Woodhouse, perennially fascinated with ailments, his and others'.

Lovely as always
I actually thought that it was Gwyneth Paltrow doing the reading. Very nicely read and a timeless story. Definitely worth adding to your audio library.

Brilliantly narrated!
I could not have been happier with my first choice of an audible book! This was a classic I had never had an opportunity read.

Better than the movie
As us usually the case the book is better than the movies made from it. More character development and a clearer picture of what is happening and why. My wife and I greatly enjoyed listening to it together.

Wonderful!
The narrator is excellent! The way she changes voices makes it easier to listen to the story then read it. Wonderful story. Miss Austen has done it again!

An Old Favorite Brilliantly Brought to Life
It is difficult to come up with anything new to say about a book that has been a classic for almost 200 years, other than "I LOVE IT." This has been one of my favorite Jane Austen books, as well as one of my favorite books overall, since I first read it more than 40 years ago. It has all the usual wonderful Austen touches -- beautifully drawn characters, dry humor, sparkling dialogue -- plus a bit of intrigue and what is to me a touch of sweetness about the story of love lost and refound.
Add to such a wonderful book the performance of Juliet Stevenson, and you can't ask for anything more. Her voice and inflection are wonderful and just perfect for the story and characters she is portraying. Other reviewers on Audible have said that she has the absolutely perfect voice for narrating Jane Austen books. I agree completely. Now I have to get all the remaining Austen books with Stevenson's narration!

Lots of people
There are a lot of people in the story and a lot of characters, so it can be a lot to keep up with. That being said, I enjoyed the story and it has movement and life in color and I highly recommend it!
