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.

Can You Forgive Her? is the first of the six in the Palliser series. Trollope inextricably binds together the issues of parliamentary election and marriage, of politics and privacy. The values and aspirations of the governing stratum of Victorian society are ruthlessly examined, and none remains unscathed. But above all Trollope focuses on the predicament of women. 'What should a woman do with her life?' asks Alice Vavasor of herself, and this theme is echoed by every other woman in the audiobook.

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.

Long
Great story, beautiful narration, but too long for my taste. I listened to the end, but at many points I kept thinking, “How much longer can I listen to them plan a party?”

It’s really a mystery story
One of the marvels of Jane Austen’s small collection of mature novels is that each one seems to be a slightly different genre. Emma is her mystery story. Like any good mystery, it can be reread with great pleasure. The always-wrong heroine Emma and the always-right hero Mr. Knightly head a cast of extremely memorable characters, among whom it is delightful to spend time. Indeed, you will likely recognize people you know in them.
Juliet Stevenson’s performance is wonderful, bringing out all the humor and making each character come to life. (She played the odious Mrs. Elton to perfection in one filmed adaptation.)

Surprise enjoyment
Although many people love this story and fiction like it, this was the first I have ever read (listened to) before. Typically, I lean toward non-fiction. I was pleasantly surprised to really enjoy not only the storyline but the performance as well. Had my daughter not suggested the book, I probably would have never chosen it for myself. Very, very pleased with the experience.

Juliet Stevenson best narrator
I didn't always care for Emma compared to Persuasion or Mansfield Park but I've come to appreciate the comedy of this book and have listened to it multiple times. When making recommendations to friends listening to Jane Austen, I always recommend Juliet Stevenson narrations, she distinguishes the different characters without it seeming like a theatrical performance.

The Best Austen Narrator and Interpreter!
Juliet Stevenson is simply the best! If you are an Austen fan (or long to be an Austen fan) you will thoroughly enjoy the unabridged, complete works of Austen, narrated by Juliet. Her enthusiasm for the text never wavers and she brings fresh energy to the narration. She masterly “voices” the different characters, with subtle nuances, in a manner which is never irritating. For instance, she interprets a man’s voice in a bold and confident way, in which the pitch of her voice does not significantly change. It is very artful.
Juliet doesn’t merely “read” the book: she “interprets” the book and dramatizes — yet with subtlety and artful skill.
Don’t merely watch the film adaptations and then conclude that you “know” Jane Austen. Read the book or — better yet — listen to the book, narrated by the brilliant Juliet Stevenson.

Excellent narration!
The story is wonderful. It’s maybe the best of all Jane Austin’s novels. But the narrator makes the listening even better.
