Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

A vicious 15-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic, a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. In Anthony Burgess' nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology.

Publisher's Summary
One of the most beloved novels of our time, Watership Down is an epic journey, a stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival.
Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits.
As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.
A stirring epic of courage and survival against the odds, Watership Down has become a beloved classic for all ages. Both an exciting adventure story and an involving allegory about freedom, ethics, and human nature, it has delighted generations with its unique and charming world, winning many awards and being adapted to film, television, and theater.

Amazing story and narration
This is a wonderful story and a joy to listen to. The Narrator does an amazing job of keeping all the characters easily identifiable. This ranks right up there with Narnia and Fellowship of the Ring. Who would have thought that wild rabbits could form the basis for such an outstanding tale. Don’t miss it!

I love this book
I have enjoyed few books as much as this audiobook, and am hard pressed to think of any I enjoy more. The narrator is perfect for this story: clear, impassioned, easily recognizable and consistent characters.
The story by Adams is sub-creation at its finest. I loved the imaginative details - of culture, myth, and adventure - and I loved the virtues of each rabbit.
Through all the trials and dangers, there is deep down a real goodness at the core of and throughout this book. I’m thankful that people have made something like this. ❤️

A fantastic performance of one of the great novels
Watership Down is a great novel.
Although a children’s story, it is one of the best written novels I’ve ever read (or listened to). The adventures of Hazel and Company are, to me, on par with those of Bilbo, Winston Smith, or the Pevensies.
Peter Capaldi does a great job of bringing the story and characters to life. Fiver makes you nervous, Hazel calms you, Keehar and Bluebell make you laugh, Bigwig inspires, and Woundwort gives you the screaming heebie-jeebies.
It is a top quality rendition of a top quality story and well worth the time and cost.

I need Peter Capaldi to narrate more than f my books because he’s astounding at it. The fact that he was the 12th Doctor adds a little special something to the mix for me. The story itself is a classic for a reason because it’s really good. So yes I highly recommend this audiobook!
