Read what one of our customers says about us: 

"I had looked at many web sites before I visited www.spoken-word-audiobooks.com , but I had never felt comfortable buying an audio book before. I had to read "The Iliad" by Homer, but put it off again and again. I downloaded it, thinking "that was easier than I expected." I settled into a comfortable chair and let the voice carry me away back to the tent of wrathful Achilles outside the walls of Troy."

War and Peace 

War and Peace

War and Peace is one of the greatest monuments in world literature. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, it examines the relationship between the individual and the relentless march of history. Here are the universal themes of love and hate, ambition and despair, youth and age, expressed with a swirling vitality which makes the book as accessible today as it was when it was first published in 1869. In addition it is, famously, one of the longest books in Western literature and therefore a remarkable challenge for any reader. Neville Jason read the abridged version of War and Peace and proved his marathon powers with his outstanding performance of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. These alone make him the ideal person to essay Tolstoy's epic. The recording will run to fifty-five CDs, some seventy hours, and we have divided it into two volumes.

Bleak House 

Bleak House

A complex plot of love and inheritance is set against the English legal system of the mid-nineteenth century, with all its tortuous avenues and disguised resolutions. Here is the firm, Jarndyce & Jarndyce, the young orphan and ward of court Ester Summerson (who tells much of the story). As always, it is the skilled pen of Dickens himself that creates the momentum with his acute eye for both individual characters and their traits, and the backdrop of Victorian London.
