The epic tale of Odysseus and his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War forms one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats - shipwrecks, battles, monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea-god Poseidon - Odysseus must use his wit and native cunning if he is to reach his homeland safely and overcome the obstacles that, even there, await him.

Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he's assigned, he'll be in violation of Catch-22.

Histoire
The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Histoire
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Histoire
This memoir written by writer, orator, and former slave Frederick Douglass describes, in gripping detail, the circumstances of his upbringing, his brutal treatment at the hands of slave-owners, and his narrow escape from Maryland to freedom. Written in 1845, this narrative is one of the most famous works of American literature and provided fuel for the abolitionist movement that began in the early 19th century.

Histoire
A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Description
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time
Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching—yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.
After a brief prologue, the story begins with a terrifying experience of the hero's high school days, moves quickly to the campus of a Southern Negro college and then to New York's Harlem, where most of the action takes place. The many people that the hero meets in the course of his wanderings are remarkably various, complex and significant. With them he becomes involved in an amazing series of adventures, in which he is sometimes befriended but more often deceived and betrayed—as much by himself and his own illusions as by the duplicity of the blindness of others.
Invisible Man is not only a great triumph of storytelling and characterization; it is a profound and uncompromising interpretation of the Negro's anomalous position in American society.

A classic, but this narrator!
Possibly the best audiobook narrator I’ve heard yet. The skill he has of playing the variety of voices and mania is sheer talent.

incredible reading of an important classic
The novel is already compelling, moving and deeply significant. But the reading is so powerful that it gives the novel a deeper dimension and a more powerful impact. One of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to in decades.

A Difficult Read Worth every Minute!
There is no question, Ellison can write. And at times that writing is challenging to work your way through...but it's worth the struggle - the story, the characters, and the nameless narrator/protagonist's incredible journey from visibility to invisibility. Most significantly, Morton's voice of the narrator is outstanding. His acting chops are in full evidence as he uses different voices for each character - male or female. Morton's reading is a great way to experience Ellison's language, intelligence, and unparalleled wisdom as they chronicle one man's social, mental, and physical journey through what it meant/means to be Black in America... #Audible1

A classic, deservedly so.
First released in 1952, this wonderful novel's themes are as relebant today as they were when first published. Ellison captures the sense of the times vis-a-vis the American Black experience in an approachable language and style.
The narration by Joe Morton is outstanding and adds to the enjoyment of the story. Bravo!

Excellence
One of those stories that grabs you from the first sentence. Top notch.
Joe Morton does a great job for most part but his attempt at a Caribbean accent left me cringing each time. Not the first American actor to struggle with a Caribbean accent though.

A stunning work of art. I was captivated from the first moment. Narrated most ably by Joe Morton. Morton's use of cadence in some of the longer passages is hypnotic and very moving.
