"Wuthering Heights" is Emily Brontë's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centers (as an adjective, "wuthering" is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.

"We have all been more or less to blame... every one of us, excepting Fanny." Taken from the poverty of her parents' home, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with only her cousin Edmund as an ally. When Fanny's uncle is absent in Antigua, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them London glamour and a reckless taste for flirtation. As her female cousins vie for Henry's attention, and even Edmund falls for Mary's dazzling charms, only Fanny remains doubtful about the Crawfords' influence and finds herself more isolated than ever.

Persuasion has certain similarities with Emma, another late novel by Jane Austen. In both stories, the heroine is a young woman who lives with her widowed father, and who has an enduring attachment to her eventual spouse from the opening of the action. Persuasion also incorporates certain elements common to Austen's earlier novels, such as characters from the military, visits to Bath and calculating and cynical suitors. In the end, Anne Elliot successfully combats the destructive vanity of her father and the machinations of her villainous cousin William.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Writing for the Penguin edition, Stevie Davies describes Jane Eyre as an "influential feminist text" because of its in depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Jane Austen's classic romantic comedy is the sparkling tale of the Bennets, a family blessed with five daughters and a mother desperate to marry them off. The tempestuous pairing of the witty, independent Elizabeth and her arrogant but honorable suitor Mr. Darcy sets the standard for all great couples of stage and screen. Although many have tried, few literary romances have matched the wit and gentile satire of Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Extremely Enjoyable
A classic and engaging story. The cast are all very good with showing emotion without being overblown, and pronounce words correctly (nothing quite as confusing as when one word is pronounced as another!).
There are some changes in audio quality throughout the recording, and occasionally phrases are re-recorded and spliced in. It is not very subtle when this happens. Some speakers have different recording equipment, it seems, and sometimes there is more background noise than others. I thought this would bother me at first but I quickly adapted to it. I have auditory processing disorder, so when audio quality is bad it becomes very difficult for me to understand anything. Not once through this recording did I have to rewind to try to understand a phrase or sentence -- though the audio quality varies, it is always good enough for my silly ears to understand!
I much prefer having different actors for different characters; it can be difficult to keep who's speaking straight when one person is providing fifty voices. The actors and actresses in this are all distinct enough to tell apart very easily.
Overall a wonderful recording and one I would recommend!

Terrible accents and annoying voices take much away from this classic.
It is clear some of the actors do not have native English accents. The actor who played Bingley and the actor who played Wickham clearly are American, and didn’t even try to put on a British accent. The actress who played Mrs. Bennett had the absolute most annoying voice and inflection, and I wanted to stop listening after hearing her talk the first time! I just prayed she didn’t have many speaking parts. It was terrible and I have no idea how the director allowed her to continue. Absolutely horrid.
It also appears there were issues with the volume level. At some points, the narrator would be at a normal volume, and seconds later she was very loud. I assume this was the splicing of different takes. Very unprofessional...
The worst part is definitely anytime Mrs. Bennett (the mother) would speak. She ruined this for me. I wanted to listen to this version because of the different voices (versus another version with just one narrator for all parts). Bad decision. Choose another version. This is the pits. You’ll want to stick a q-tip far down your ear holes. Terrible.
