Julius Caesar – Audio Book
Julius Caesar: Man, Soldier, and Tyrant is an audiobook by J. F. C. Fuller and it’s narrated by Frederick Davidson.
Since the Renaissance, Julius Caesar has been idolized as a superman. There is no doubt that Caesar was an extraordinary man. But as General Fuller points out, Caesar was more extraordinary for his reckless ambition, matchless daring, and ruthless tyranny than for his skills as a military commander. Caesar continually had to extricate himself from the results of mistaken
judgments. His unpremeditated Gallic conquest was just one of Fuller’s many examples.
In telling Caesar’s history, Fuller illuminates a century of Roman history as well, bringing to life Caesar’s wars, his armies, his equipment, and his methods. Brilliant in design and impressive in scope,Julius Caesar clarifies how the military, political, and economic aspects of the Roman Republic worked together to produce a man whose name has come down to us as a synonym for absolute authority.
Frederick Davidson is a recipient of the Golden Voices Award and numerous Earphones Awards. After performing for years in many BBC radio plays, he came to America in 1976. He has narrated more than eight hundred audiobooks.

‘We have reached the distant horizon of an age of peace and prosperity!’
When the TARDIS materialises on an alien planet, the Doctor insists that he and his companions have arrived in the far future. Steven and Dodo think otherwise, however, after they encounter a band of cave-dwelling primitives who are terrified of strangers. The travellers soon discover that the planet’s population is divided into two castes, and that the professed idyll of the Elders – who inhabit a technologically advanced city -seems oddly dependent upon the unsophisticated Savages.
Whilst the Elders’ leader, Jano, welcomes the Doctor into their society, Dodo stumbles upon a dark secret at the heart of the community. The truth behind the Elders’ great knowledge is eventually revealed, and the Doctor sees it as his duty to end a terrible case of exploitation. Yet Jano has plans of his own for the Doctor..
With the Doctor’s faithful companion Steven discovering that events on this planet will irrevocably shape his destiny, The Savages marks the final appearance in the programme of Peter Purves, who also provides the linking narration for this release.

Moveable Feast- Hemingway Audio Book
Moveable Feast is an audiobook by Ernest Hemingway.
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast. ” — Ernest Hemingway to a friend, 1950
Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway’s most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F.

Hemingway wrote in short, declarative sentences and was known for his tough, terse prose. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Ernest Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that lead to international fame.
Hemingway was an aficionado of bullfighting and big-game hunting, and his main protagonists were always men and women of courage and conviction, who suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in fiction in his brillliant novel For Whom the Bell Tolls , and he subsequently covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. He died in 1961.
James Naughton has won Tony Awards for his starring roles in City of Angels and Chicago on Broadway , and a Mac Award for his one-man show James Naughton: Street of Dreams .

We Are Their Heaven is the audio book behind the television series Medium. The author is Allison Dubois.
From the bestselling author of Don’t Kiss Them Good-bye … inspiring true tales of hope and renewal.
The inspiration for the hit television series Medium , Allison DuBois now brings listeners into her psychic experiences in We Are Their Heaven . Recalling her communication with spirits who have touched her over the years, she reveals that the dead are trying to reach their loved ones all the time—not because they’re bound to us, but because we are their happiness, we are their heaven.
In moving stories of loss and connection, Allison presents the riveting details of some of her most memorable readings, and her clients share the significance and impact of their experiences making contact with long-lost loved ones. Drawing on her years as a medium, she discusses the essential elements of communicating with the deceased, explaining the need to read both their signs (the message) and their signature (the unique information). She also explores some of the methods used by the dead to contact us, including timing, coincidence, auditory and sensory communications, incident manipulation, dreams, and visions.
Guided by her strong desire to help these two worlds connect, Allison offers a message of comfort for anyone missing a loved one: through the thousands of readings that she has done, no one has come through to say “good-bye” but rather to say “hello again.”
Allison DuBois’s unique story, the inspiration for the hit NBC TV series Medium started during her senior year at Arizona State University while she was interning at the D.A’s office. Soon after, researchers at the University of Arizona validated her ability through a series of tests. Allison donates her time to missing persons and criminal cases for agencies across the country.

Anna Karenina Audio Book
Anna Karenina is the famous love story by Leo Tolstoy. It’s a comprehensive 35 hours audiobook narrated by Nadia May and published by Blackstone Audio Inc.
“One of the greatest love stories in world literature.”Vladimir Nabokov
Considered one of the pinnacles of world literature.Merriam-Websters Encyclopedia of Literature
A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, Anna Karenina portrays the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time.
Sensual, rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the handsome Count Vronsky. When she refuses to conduct the discreet affair that her cold, ambitious husband (and Russian high society) would condone, she is doomed. Set against the tragic love of Anna and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine Levin unfolds. In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin’s struggles echo Tolstoys own spiritual crisis. But Annas inner turmoil mirrors the emotional imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world.
In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.
Count Lev (Leo) Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born in Russia in 1828. His parents, who died when he was young, were of noble birth. He served in the army in the Caucasus and Crimea, where he wrote his first stories. In 1862 he married and in 1869 produced the masterpiece War and Peace. He died in 1910 at age 82.
Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
