On the ship, he becomes involved in the affairs of Countess Olga de Coude, her husband, Count Raoul de Coude, and two shady characters attempting to prey on them, Nikolas Rokoff and his henchman Alexis Paulvitch. Rokoff, it turns out, is the countess' brother. Tarzan thwarts the villains' scheme, making them his deadly enemies.
After a couple of twists - joining the French intelligence service, swimming for his life in the sea - Tarzan ends up in his "home" jungle, has several adventures - being captured and almost sacrificed, finding treasures, etc. - until he has to save Jane from a local tribe. She broke her engagement earlier, so Tarzan can marry her.
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 14 hrs and 35 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-25-17
Publisher: Audioliterature
Genres: Classics, World Literature
Publisher's Summary:
"God's Fool" (1892) is a novel by Maarten Maartens, set in a fictional Dutch town. The novel's "hero", Elias Lossell, becomes deaf and blind from an accident when he is nine years old. The people around him can communicate with him by writing letters with a finger on the palm of his hand. Although communication is possible, mentally he always remains a boy of nine.
Thanks to a somewhat thoughtless testament, Elias becomes the rightful owner of a tea-merchant firm. His half-brothers, the twins Hendrik and Hubert, manage the firm on his behalf. Elias lives in a house of his own at the outskirts of the town, looked after by his old nurse, and occupies himself by growing flowers and helping the needy. A quarrel between the twins in Elias's house escalates into a murder, and the novel has an open ending after a twist.
The title is based on 1 Corinthians 3:19: "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." Elias Lossell, the principal person, may be a fool, but he has God's wisdom.

But one day, when asked to proofread, Bartleby answers with what soon becomes his perpetual response to every request: "I would prefer not to."
From that point Bartleby onward, performs fewer and fewer tasks and eventually none. The narrator makes several futile attempts to reason with him and to learn something about him, and one Sunday morning, he discovers that Bartleby has started living in the office. The lawyer cannot bring himself to remove Bartleby from his premises, and moves his office instead, but the new proprietor removes Bartleby to prison, where he perishes...

Title: The Man in Lower Ten

Publisher's Summary:
"The Man in Lower Ten" is a mystery by Mary Roberts Rinehart.
Excerpt from the book:
McKnight is gradually taking over the criminal end of the business. I never liked it, and since the strange case of the man in lower ten, I have been a bit squeamish. Given a case like that, where you can build up a network of clues that absolutely incriminate three entirely different people, only one of whom can be guilty, and your faith in circumstantial evidence dies of overcrowding. McKnight could tell the story a great deal better than I, although he cannot spell three consecutive words correctly. But, while he has imagination and humor, he is lazy. "It didnt happen to me, anyhow," he protested, when I put it up to him. "Besides, you want the unvarnished and ungarnished truth, and Im no hand for that. Im a lawyer." So am I, although that has been disputed. I am unmarried, fond of outdoors, and completely ruled and frequently routed by my housekeeper, an elderly widow.

Title: The Oval Portrait
Author: Edgar Allan Poe
Narrator: Michael Troy
Format: Unabridged
Length: 19 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-12-17
Publisher: Michael Troy Audiobooks
Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes
Genres: Classics, World Literature
Publisher's Summary:
"The Oval Portrait" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe involving the disturbing circumstances surrounding a portrait in a chateau. It is one of his shortest stories, filling only two pages in its initial publication in 1842.
Plot summary:
The tale begins with an injured narrator (the story offers no further explanation of his or her impairment) seeking refuge in an abandoned mansion in the Apennines. The narrator spends his or her time admiring the paintings that decorate the strangely shaped room and perusing a volume, found upon a pillow, that describes them.
Upon moving the candle closer to the book, the narrator immediately discovers a before-unnoticed painting depicting the head and shoulders of a young girl. The picture inexplicably enthralls the narrator "for an hour perhaps". After steady reflection, he or she realizes that the painting's "absolute life-likeliness" of expression is the captivating feature. The narrator eagerly consults the book for an explanation of the picture. The remainder of the story henceforth is a quote from this book - a story within a story.
The book describes a tragic story involving a young maiden of "the rarest beauty". She loved and wedded an eccentric painter who cared more about his work than anything else in the world, including his wife. The painter eventually asked his wife to sit for him, and she obediently consented, sitting "meekly for many weeks" in his turret chamber. The painter worked so diligently at his task that he did not recognize his wife's fading health, as she, being a loving wife, continually "smiled on and still on, uncomplainingly". As the painter neared the end of his work, he let no one enter the turret chamber and rarely took his eyes off the canvas, even to watch his wife. After "many weeks had passed," he finally finished his work. As he looked on the completed image, however, he felt appalled, as he exclaimed, "This is indeed Life itself!" Thereafter, he turned suddenly to regard his bride and discovered that she had died.

Riepilogo Editore:
Alonso Quijiana, esaltato dalla lettura dei romanzi cavallereschi, si fa cavaliere errante e decide di percorrere in cerca di avventure le strade della Spagna insieme col suo improvvisato scudiero, Sancio Panza.
Miguel de Cervantes crea un personaggio unico, antieroe per eccellenza, che ha attraversato i secoli reclamando il proprio diritto a sognare. In continuo equilibrio tra realtà e fantasia, l'opera non è altro che un incredibile viaggio che si sviluppa come in un eterno gioco di specchi tra letteratura e vita.

Résumé de l'éditeur:
À Middlemarch, cité imaginaire de la province anglaise, vers 1830, la jeune et intelligente Dorothée aspire à de grandes réalisations. Elle épouse le pasteur Casaubon, beaucoup plus âgé qu'elle et espère aider son mari dans les travaux de recherche pour un livre qui devrait être son chef d'œuvre. Mais Casaubon ne la prend pas sérieux, la néglige. De plus, il prend ombrage de l'amitié qui rapproche Will Ladislaw, son cousin, et Dorothée. Ce mariage se révèle être une erreur...
Le docteur Lydgate vient d'arriver à Middlemarch. Il est jeune, idéaliste, brillant mais... pauvre. Avec ses méthodes modernes, il bouscule les autres médecins de Middlemarch, s'attirant leur jalousie et par là, complique son intégration dans la petite cité. Il épouse Rosamond Vincy, la fille du maire, mais ne peut lui offrir le train de vie auquel est habituée Rosamond...
Peinture de cette société victorienne confrontée à la naissance de la révolution industrielle, Middlemarch est le plus célèbre des romans de George Eliot, de son vrai nom Mary Anne Evans.

Titel: Der Idiot
Autor:: Fjodor Michailowitsch Dostojewski
Erzähler: Hans Jochim Schmidt
Format: Unabridged
Spieldauer: 36 hrs and 4 mins
Sprache: Deutsch
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 08-03-17
Herausgeber: Vorleser Schmidt Hörbuchverlag
Kategorien: Classics, World Literature
Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:
"Der Idiot" gehört zu den bekanntesten Romanen Fjodor Dostojewskis. Er wurde von dem Autor in Genf 1867 begonnen, in Mailand 1868 beendet und erschien erstmals von Januar 1868 bis Februar 1869 in einer Zeitschrift. Die Geschichte des Fürsten Myschkin, der für ungefähr ein halbes Jahr sein Schweizer Refugium verlässt und in die Petersburger Gesellschaft (und in was für eine!) gerät, zählt zu den ganz großen Werken der Weltliteratur.
In der Medizin ist der Begriff der Idiotie (ehemals für hochgradigen Schwachsinn) längst aufgegeben worden. Wie auch immer heutige Seelenkundige die Persönlichkeit des titelgebenden Protagonisten Fürst Myschkin beschreiben und einordnen mögen: schwachsinnig ist er gewiss nicht. In seiner naiven, unkonventionellen Art erkennt der Fürst geradezu hellsichtig die Menschen in ihren Boshaftigkeiten, ihren persönlichen und sozialen Spannungen und Widersprüchen und ihrem daraus resultierenden Leid, fällt aber auch immer wieder auf feingesponnene Intrigen herein. Er möchte von Herzen gern Frieden stiften und vor allem einer Frau helfen, die es mit sich selbst und ihren Mitmenschen ungemein schwer hat. Dass er daran scheitern muss, liegt im Grunde auf der Hand. Der Roman kann nicht anders als tragisch enden.

Tandis qu'à Paris, le cardinal Mazarin est sur sa fin, le prétendant au trône de Grande-Bretagne, Charles, accompagné par le valet Parry, est venu en France pour demander à son cousin Louis XIV de l'argent pour lui permettre de reprendre son trône.
