Madame Bovary

AudioBookOne — Wed, 02 May 2012 04:15:32 +0000

A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence.

‘It still astonishes. If one were to ask, ‘World, which is the most perfect novel ever written?’ the world would immediately answer: Madame Bovary’ – Washington Post Book World

‘Madame Bovary is like the railroad stations erected in its epoch: graceful, even floral, but cast of iron’ – John Updike

Emma Bovary is a sensuous and sentimental young woman whose romantic ideals make her dissatisfied with her humdrum married life. In an attempt to escape into an exciting world of passion and dreams, she drifts into sordid affairs with Rodolphe Boulanger and Léon Dupuis. The first of these lovers, an older man, dominates the affair, while the second, inexperienced and young, is dominated. The eventual collapse of Emma’s romantic dreams is inevitable, and her disillusionment leads ultimately to her doom.

A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. Acclaimed as a masterpiece upon its publication in 1857, it catapulted Flaubert to the ranks of the world’s greatest novelists and ushered in a new age of realism in literature.

AudioBookOne — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:10:53 +0000

The Crusaders, led by Richard I of England, are encamped in the Holy Land and torn by the dissensions and jealousies of the leaders, including Coeur de Lion himself and Philip of France.

“Robert Whitfield excels at phrasing, which, accompanied by his pleasant voice and British accent, makes this tape pleasant listening.”-AudioFile

Encamped in the Holy Land, the Crusaders are torn by the dissensions and jealousies of their leaders. The army’s impotence is accentuated by the illness of their chief, Richard I of England. Meanwhile, a poor but doughty Scottish crusader known as Sir Kenneth, on a mission far from the camp, encounters a Saracen emir. After an inconclusive combat, he strikes up a friendship with the emir, who turns out to be Saladin himself. His alliance with the Moor will save him from more than one misfortune.

Carrying a mystical talisman, Saladin enters the camp of the Crusaders in disguise and cures Richard. When Sir Kenneth is later falsely dishonored, Saladin is in a position to intervene in his execution and receive him as his slave. Presenting the knight with the talisman, Saladin then arranges a plot for Sir Kenneth’s vindication.

Devil Bones (Unabridged)

AudioBookOne — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:43:45 +0000

In a house under renovation, a plumber uncovers a cellar no one knew about, and makes a rather grisly discovery.

In a house under renovation, a plumber uncovers a cellar no one knew about, and makes a rather grisly discovery — a decapitated chicken, animal bones, and cauldrons containing beads, feathers, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In the center of the shrine is the skull of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, on a nearby lakeshore, the headless body of a teenage boy is found by a man walking his dog.

Led by a preacher turned politician, citizen vigilantes blame devil worshippers and Wiccans and begin a witch hunt, intent on seeking revenge. Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan — ‘five-five, feisty, and forty-plus’ — is called in to investigate, and a complex and gripping tale unfolds in this deadly mix of voodoo, Santería, and devil worship.

About the Author:

With a popular series on Fox — now in its third season and in full syndication — Kathy Reichs has established herself as the dominant talent in forensic mystery writing. Devil Bones, her eleventh taut, always surprising, scientifically fascinating mystery features Reichs’s signature blend of forensic descriptions that ‘chill to the bone’ (Entertainment Weekly) and the surprising plot twists that have made her a number one bestselling author in the United States and around the world.

Meet Chick Best – a middle-aged, self-absorbed California dot.com millionaire.

Other than his house and high-priced foreign cars, Chick’s most expensive possession is his trophy wife, Evelyn.

Though concerned about his family, Chick has resigned himself to a miserable state of acceptance. That is, until he, Evelyn, and Melissa take a Christmas vacation in Maui.

With this, Chick’s life changes… Chick experiences unrequited love at first sight when he observes Paige Ellis emerging from the hotel swimming pool. His obsession, exceeded only by his need to possess her, isn’t diminished when he learns that she is happily married.

Instead, Chick’s obsession compels him to drive to Paige’s house, where he runs down and kills her husband. Chick’s life begins to spiral homicidally out of control, resulting in the destruction of everything he holds dear.

	The Hunger Games (Unabridged) by Suzanne Collins Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don’t live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before – and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. More info …
	*******
	Catching Fire: Hunger Games, Book 2 (Unabridged) by Suzanne Collins Katniss Everdeen continues to struggle to protect herself and her family from the Capitol in this second novel from the best-selling Hunger Games trilogy. What The Critics Say: “Collins expertly blends fantasy, romance and political intrigue (so who needs vampires?).” (People Magazine) “Catching Fire not only lived up to my high expectations, it surpassed them. It’s just as exciting as The Hunger Games, but even more gut wrenching, because you already know these characters, you’ve already suffered with them.” (Stephenie Meyer) “…enough action to please Hunger Games fans and leaves enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment.” (School Library Journal, starred review) More info …
	*******
	Mockingjay: The Final Book of The Hunger Games (Unabridged) by Suzanne Collins Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena live, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge…. What The Critics Say: “At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry Potter.” (New York Times Book Review) “Unfolding in Collins’ engaging, intelligent prose and assembled into chapters that end with didn’t-see-that-coming cliffhangers, this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears. [Mockingjay] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as original and thought provoking, as The Hunger Games. Wow.” (Los Angeles Times) “Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire.” (Entertainment Weekly) More info …

	What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Speed-Reading People (Unabridged) by Joe Navarro He says that’s his best offer. Is it? She says she agrees. Does she? The interview went great – or did it? He said he’d never do it again. But he did. Listen to this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring.
