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.

Animal Farm is an allegorical satire of the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917, and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell described the book as a satirical tale against Stalin and went on to say that it was the first book in which he tried “to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”. All of the leading figures involved in this period are parodied as various animals.

"Le donne, i cavallier, l'arme, gli amori" cantati da Italo Calvino, con la sua lettura chiara, appassionata e lucida di un classico della nostra letteratura. Calvino propone una ricca scelta di strofe non rispettando la divisione in canti, ma seguendo le vicende dei singoli personaggi. Si alternano perciò parti di commento, narrazione, quasi di anticipazione, a versi del testo originale, in un vero "racconto" in cui sembra quasi di sentire la voce.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Consigliato dal suo psicanalista, Zeno Cosini, il protagonista di questo straordinario romanzo, forse il più grande del Novecento italiano, scrive la storia della propria vita, nella speranza di guarire dal suo disagio esistenziale tramite una sorta di auto psicoanalisi. Dietro la personalità bugiarda, manipolatrice e parassita di Zeno, si nasconde in realtà la crisi stessa dell'uomo moderno che non trova risposte alle sue inquietanti domande sul senso della vita.

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.

Sintesi dell'editore
This is the disturbing tale of the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll, a physician. A generous and philanthropic man, he is preoccupied with the problems of good and evil, and with the possibility of separating them into distinct personalities. He develops a drug that transforms him into the demonic Mr. Hyde, in whose person he exhausts all the latent evil in his nature. He also creates an antidote that will restore him to his respectable existence as Dr. Jekyll. Gradually, however, the unmitigated evil of his darker self predominates until finally he performs an atrocious murder. His saner self determines to curtail these alternations of personality, but he discovers that he is losing control over his transformations and that he slips with increasing frequency into the world of evil. Finally, unable to procure one of the ingredients for the mixture of redemption, and on the verge of being discovered, he commits suicide.
Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted, evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a brilliantly original study of man's dual nature as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror.
This tale has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Dr. Jekyll’s desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul - and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us.

The best one yet
This really is the best audiobook version of this story available on Audible. Martin Jarvis does a stellar job. Near the end, hearing Dr Lanyon's letter, I felt like I was in the room with him, receiving the same shock to my system.
The story has an unusual structure, completely unlike any of the film versions. Nowadays everybody knows the big secret, that Jekyll and Hyde are actually the same person; but the first readers didn't know that, and Stevenson peels the onion slowly, with excruciating tension. For the first time, listening to this version, I was able to capture some of that first-time excitement.

Delightful gothic, pitch-perfect narration
Martin Jarvis doesn't just read this novel, he performs it, and is as good in this role as Jeremy Brett was as Sherlock Holmes. Although I've seen, heard, or read countless versions of this classic story, this faithful audio version, coupled with Jarvis' pitch-perfect narration, effectively draws you into the story and maintains suspense right up to the final scenes.

1886 Book is still part of our vocabulary...
I've said it many times, "working with him is like working with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"... but had never read the classic it comes from to see if I am aptly spouting. It is a short, easy read that I found interesting and was pleased to finally know exactly what I was talking about. A little bit of morality pondering can be done if you choose or leave it to the Lawyer as he figures it out. Glad I read it and did a little bit of pondering of which side of me I am feeding.

Worth a revisit!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This audiobook explore Science and Man's nature. It is worth a second listening, specifically in relation to the idea that evil is pleasurable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
The use of the epistolary narrative at the end answers the questions the reader will have asked and provides a more interesting debate.
What three words best describe Martin Jarvis’s performance?
Good, classic and sometimes lulls one to sleep.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Man + Science = Seductive Evil!
Any additional comments?
A classic mystery that challenges the progression of Science from a social and historical context, as well as man's true nature.

Very enjoyable classic
Very different than any movie of the subject I've ever seen...but as this is usually the case when it comes to book vs movie I was not surprised. The book was quite enjoyable....I utilized immersion reading on my kindle....reading as well as listening to this book through Audible....the narrator was excellent! I can recommend both.

Classic story.
What did you love best about The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
How many different eyewitness accounts tell the undoing of Dr. Jekyll
Any additional comments?
If you've never read this classic, you should. It will most likely change your perception of Mr. Hyde. Having only seen this story told in cartoons and the like, I believe Mr. Hyde is not given a true account of his character in the movies/cartoons.

Martin Jarvis triumphs again!
This reading of the unabridged text of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is all one could wish for. It is read by Martin Jarvis with his customary vividness of characterization, and sure pacing. He does not fall into melodrama, which mars some readings of this story. The horror is all the more powerful because of his restraint. This production easily outstrips all other available versions.

Which is Jekyll and which Hyde?
A classic I've wanted to read for years. I was surprised to find I did not know the story and had assumed Jekyll was the evil one. Not so! A great Victorian morality tale of the consequences of living an evil life. A must read classic. Brilliantly narrated too. My only complaint, the cover indicates inclusion of an introduction to the novel and that is not in this version! I wouldn't let that stop anyone buying this though, overall it's a great product.

The duality and dark side of man
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It wasn't very long so yes, my wife have been talking about the book as a play so I expected way more bad things to happen.
What does Martin Jarvis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Nice voice, not too much expression yet kept some feeling to it. It did bring more depth and personality to the characters, something I feel is needed when you are reading a dialog
If this book were a film would you go see it?
Sure, it has some of my favorite themes (psychology, psychosis, drug use, drug making, murderer, hiding in plane sight)
Any additional comments?
I like the book, the narrator, the characters but it was a bit short and I would have liked a more extended period of Jekyll being Hyde but overall a great book.

Listened to help with my son's GCSEs but
loved it! Martin Jarvis is a fantastic narrator, qhich for me is always the 'hook' to listening to an audiobook.
The story, despite its archaic nature is still very relevant to today. If you've not read or heard this story, I can fully recommend it.

A memorable novel, settling many chills deep into my bones. Upon finishing the audio, it's as if my mind continued the story; imprints of Mr Hyde's face waiting behind my eyelids.
Truly frightening, in its own manner.
