Story
This superbly told story brings to life one of the most remarkable rulers––and men––in all of history and conveys the drama of his life and world. The Russia of Peter's birth was very different from the Russia his energy, genius, and ruthlessness shaped. Crowned co-Tsar as a child of ten, after witnessing bloody uprisings in the streets of Moscow, he would grow up propelled by an unquenchable curiosity, everywhere looking, asking, tinkering, and learning, fired by Western ideas.

Story
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.

Story
The British Empire was the largest in all history: the nearest thing to global domination ever achieved. The world we know today is in large measure the product of Britain's age of empire. The global spread of capitalism, telecommunications, the English language, and the institutions of representative government - all these can be traced back to the extraordinary expansion of Britain's economy, population, and culture from the 17th century until the mid-20th. On a vast and vividly colored canvas, Empire shows how the British Empire acted as midwife to modernity.

Story
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

In this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage. Sarah, the orphaned housemaid, spends her days scrubbing the laundry, polishing the floors, and emptying the chamber pots for the Bennet household. But there is just as much romance, heartbreak, and intrigue downstairs at Longbourn as there is upstairs. When a mysterious new footman arrives, the orderly realm of the servants’ hall threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among the world's great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Story
Here in one volume are both the Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series from one of the most influential philosophers in American history. Although Ralph Waldo Emerson, perhaps America’s most famous philosopher, did not wish to be referred to as a transcendentalist, he is nevertheless considered the founder of this major movement of nineteenth-century American thought. Emerson was influenced by a liberal religious training; theological study; personal contact with the Romanticists Coleridge, Carlyle, and Wordsworth; and a strong indigenous sense of individualism and self-reliance.

The history of China is as rich and strange as that of any country on earth. Yet for many, China’s history remains unknown, or known only through the stylized images that generations in the West have cherished or reviled as truth. With his command of character and event - the product of 30 years of research and reflection in the field - Spence dispels those myths in a powerful narrative. Over four centuries of Chinese history, Spence fashions the astonishing story of the effort to achieve a modern China.

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of Kings and Kaisers and Czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.

Publisher's Summary
In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing.
First published in Dickens’ own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens’ life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.
This exclusive recording of Great Expectations starts with a unique introduction written and narrated by Howard Jacobson, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Finkler Question, in which he explains why Great Expectations is his favourite Dickens title.
About the book
Through a rich first-person narrative, listeners are introduced to the character of young Pip as he visits the tombstones of his beloved parents. Unexpectedly confronted by the dark and mysterious Magwitch, a convict in desperate need of food, Pip must decide whether to aid or impede the stranger standing in front of him - a decision which will shape the course of his life. Introducing some of the most iconic, Gothic and comically repulsive literary characters of all time, from the vengeful Miss Havisham, torn apart by a man she once loved, to her beautiful yet seemingly impenetrable ward, Estella, the listener is propelled through a wonderfully Dickensian world.
About the author
Much like Pip, Charles Dickens was born into poverty. In his case, it was due to the incarceration of his father, and Dickens was forced to set aside his education in order to work at a nearby factory. Amazingly, this did not deter the young Dickens from rising above his station, and he went on to publish 15 novels, various articles, five novellas and hundreds of short stories. He lectured and campaigned for fair treatment of the lower classes as well as for children’s rights and education.
About the narrator
British comedian, actor and screenwriter Matt Lucas is best known for the television show Little Britain as well as playing both Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee in Alice in Wonderland and his role as Nardole in the 10th series of Doctor Who. Able to embody so many characters with just his voice, Lucas is a perfect fit for Great Expectations.

Pleasantly surprised!
I was looking for something different to listen to so I decided to look in the 'classics' category of audible. I had heard of this book before but knew nothing about it. I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did! It was very entertaining and humorous. Narration was amazing! I think I will be looking into that category again! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Wow! Awesome read!
If I’m correct, this book is something over 34 hours long, …. Buy I didn’t want it to end. I particularly love the ending and the lessons i picked up. Amazing work by Charles Dickens. The narrator brought the story home it couldn’t be better… wow! I searched the movie to watch but read a whole bunch of negative reviews about the 2023 version however I understand the 1940 something one best depicts the story. I definitely will love to see it.

SPOILER IN THE PREFACE
As I stated before there is a fairly big spoiler in the very beginning during the preface. I'll leave the exact nature of the spoiler out for those who, like myself, haven't read it yet. However I will say that the spoiler is one that completely ruins the nature of the mystery surrounding Pip and his benefactor. Because of which left me struggling to finish the book. Though the last few hours which were not spoiled and had some secret and suspense was rather good.
Overall a good book.

Spoilers in chapter one
Great Expectations is a good listen. Just be careful not to listen to chapter one first. Of course that makes no sense, but chapter one is a discussion of the book which gives spoilers. Also, I like to form my own opinion of a book before hearing others opinions.

Dickens is a time traveller who loved movies
Firstly Matt Lucas gives a tour de force as more than the narrator. He develops each character and brings the story alive. When Dickens has the time to observe people, scenes, and social interactions, his piercing and humorous gaze can transport us. About half way through Great Expectations Dickens becomes preoccupied with wrapping things up with all the pizzazz of a Hollywood scriptwriter. As he busies himself tying up all the loose ends its a bit rushed and descriptions are dispensed with. A shame for it is in the way he describes a face or gently ridicules the motives of his protagonist that we laugh at them, with him, and at ourselves.

Narration, a bit over the top
I am only going to discuss the narration here. I have been wanting to read this for a long time, and fully intend to continue with it, but have only made it a few chapters in, and have decided the narration is not for me. It is not that the narration is not good - in a sense it could be considered excellent. Matt Lucas has an fine voice, and is adept at portraying the array of characters in a highly dramatic fashion. But I found it all just a bit too much. When we read a book in print, we are free to add and imagine degrees of inflection and accent to voices of various characters, and we all do this to more or less extent. But when it is all done for us, like in this version, I found myself resentful, pulled out of the story, and want the narrator to just shut up - not any way to get through a book. At times, Mr. Lucas' characterizations bordered on Monty Python parody territory. Frankly, I just found it irritating. I realize that for many reader/listeners, this will be exactly what they want, and I hope my opinion will help them decide in favor of this edition out of the half dozen or so versions of this classic - if this is, in fact, what they want: a highly dramatized experience. For me, I want a version, a little less excitable, and more neutral, so I can add my own inflections to the narrative voice in my head.

Delightful and engrossing.
This Charles Dickens novel is a perfect candidate for an audible book read by a narrator who can bring life to the book’s many wonderful characters. As much as I enjoyed David Lean’s classic black and white movie adaptation, there are many left out characters and details to be found in the book. Listen to this if you are looking for an escape to another century. NOTE. The introduction includes a spoiler, so skip it unless you already know the outcome.

I can get slow at times, but it gets much better.
The narration was very well done, and the overall story is definitely worth a listen. Dickens makes the case of the fickleness of human nature and the truth of reality in great fashion. There are a few slow parts that take a little soldiering through, but it's worth it if you make it through.
