Story
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. It is set in the 1840 in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy. In the novel, Tom Sawyer has several adventures, often with his friend Huckleberry Finn. Originally a commercial failure, the book ended up being the best selling of any of Twain's works during his lifetime. Although overshadowed by its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the book is considered a masterpiece of American literature.

Story
The Importance of Being Earnest is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on February 14th 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde's most enduringly popular play.

Four SciFi Classics in a Bargain Bundle
The four(4) stories are classics and most readers are probably already familiar with them. When compared to contemporary fiction at the time they were written, they are at the top of the genre; when compared to modern sci-fi they may show their age a bit (most of them use sparse dialog in favor of a 1st person PoV narrator … which makes it fairly easy to turn them into audiobooks, but also means they come across fairly dry like a diary or news report). Still, there are elements in each that helped to define the genre to this day and are well worth the read. The narration was decent, but with the limited dialog, there was little need to display any range for multiple character voices … so I can’t really justify rating it above average, but I thought it fit each story style fairly well.
I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Sober Science Fiction Collection Classics!!
I read Frankenstein and Time Machine (in Spanish) a very long time ago. I loved both books
They are ones of my favorites.
By the way, I had War of Worlds and Stevenson's on my reading list, but I hadn't had chance to read it. Now I've got the four novels in a audiobook, and it was really nice experience. I enjoyed all of them in the original language.
Sober literature and great narration!
