FEATURING CLASSIC AUDIOBOOKS
 A TALE OF TWO CITIES
by Charles Dickens
Read by Jack Sondericker
One of Dickens’ most famous novels, this classic is set amid the turbulent times of the French Revolution. The main theme is the rescue of young Charles Darney, a French aristocrat sentenced to the guillotine by the “citizens” of the revolution. Out of the gloomy pall of the guillotine dungeons comes one of literature’s greatest heroes, Sidney Carton, the rescuer of Darney. Who can ever forget Carton’s most famous statement: “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”
THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
by Mark Twain
Read by Tim Berhens
First published in 1875, this classic excursion into Mark Twain's Mississippi River country will lighten your heart even today. The characters themselves - Tom's aunt Polly, his friends Becky and Huck, even Injun Joe - evoke nostalgia for a simpler, more rural lifestyle. Mark Twain describes a people, and a place, full of affection, wit, and adventure...where a dark summer night in a graveyard searching for black cats, or even getting lost during a cave exploration can be a truly exciting and fulfilling experience. |
