Story
Issue de la bourgeoisie, Emma Bovary est élevée dans un couvent, où elle fera son "éducation sentimentale" en lisant les œuvres romantiques à la mode. Son mari, Charles Bovary, ne ressemble en rien aux amants mystérieux et délicats de ses lectures : c'est un officier de santé qui exerce dans un village normand où Emma, confrontée à la réalité de la vie quotidienne, va peu à peu perdre pied.

Vingt ans après, ils courent, chevauchent et ferraillent toujours, sur les routes de France ou d'Angleterre. Leurs bras, comme leurs langues, n'ont rien perdu de cette vigueur étincelante qui les faisait déplacer les montagnes et réussir l'impossible. Leur amitié, dans les moments critiques, ressoude leurs quatre lames comme limailles autour d'un seul aimant. Mais les temps ont bien changé.

Ses lecteurs vont pouvoir ensuite descendre ce grand fleuve aux lenteurs asiatiques et suivre la romancière dans tous les méandres du delta, dans la moiteur des rizières, dans les secrets ombreux où elle a développé l'incantation répétitive et obsédante de ses livres, de ses films, de son théâtre."

Au travers de photos et de souvenirs laissés par les événements, les mots et les choses, Annie Ernaux nous fait ressentir le passage des années, de l'après-guerre à aujourd'hui. En même temps, elle inscrit l'existence dans une forme nouvelle d'autobiographie, impersonnelle et collective. Marina Moncade est la voix sensible et délicate d'Annie Ernaux qui regarde en elle-même pour retrouver le monde, la mémoire et l'imaginaire des jours passés.

Publisher's summary
Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Story
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

By coach they’ll travel to the outreaches of London to explore, observe, and report back on the quaint wonders of the English countryside. What transpires is a picaresque romp of misadventures, hair-raising challenges, and romantic follies entangling the fates of a riot of colorful characters - a passel of villains, spinsters, poets, and sportsmen - and the unworldly Pickwick himself, who has much to learn about life outside his gentleman’s club.

The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

Perfect way to read Victor Hugo's entire book
I was very pleased with everything about Victor Hugo's creation. I am not good at expressing myself but I will say that I looked forward each day to the pleasure of listening and falling in love or exasperation with the characters who are so imperfectly human. The time spent on the history of the period was worth the read and is certainly an important part of this worldly novel.

Best (long) novel I've heard so far!!!
The author has a great mastery of the French language and uses it in its majestic beauty. The plotline is really good! In many ways it feels strange that Les Miserables was written so long ago; the work seems strikingly relevant to contemporary ears. I came to this novel, partly because of the movie/musical of a few years back. However as they say: "the book always beats the movie" -- and it was a great movie! Victor Hugo disolay a simple but profound knowledge of human complexity played out in the grand context of the famed French revolution(s). The readers had all a good performance. Detailed descriptions (and digressions) in the book might feel overly elaborate at times, making the listener want to jump forward to the actual description of the events, but it is worth sticking through all the details. Very glad I did. What a book!

Un Chef-d'oeuvre de tous les temps
Where does Les Misérables : L'intégrale rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The best by far. Of course for fluent French speaking people.
What did you like best about this story?
The most vivid of early 19th century historical background
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
All five narrators had different talents and they were all sincere and passionate
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Les Miserables!
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed all the many digressions. The one that would be most difficult for non French speakers would be the one on "argot". It can be skipped.

I’m primarily reviewing the recording.
I was delighted by the subtle variations employed by the narrator to distinguish characters. At once they are almost imperceptible, and yet admirably representative.
