The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) by Mark Twain is one of the truly great American novels, beloved by children, adults, and literary critics alike. The book tells the story of “Huck” Finn (first introduced as Tom Sawyer’s sidekick in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), his friend Jim, and their journey down the Mississippi River on a raft. Both are on the run, Huck from his drunk and abusive father, and Jim as a runaway slave.

As Huck and Jim drift down the river, they meet many colorful characters and have many great adventures. The true heart of the story, however, is the friendship between Huck and Jim. A constant theme throughout the book is Huck’s internal struggle between what he has been taught, that helping a runaway slave is a sin, and what he truly believes, that Jim is a good man and it couldn’t possibly be wrong to help him.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was unique at the time of its publication (1884) because it is narrated by Huck himself and is written in the numerous dialects common in the area and time in which the book is set. Although the book was originally intended as a sequel to the children’s book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, as Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn it progressed into a more serious work. Twain’s views on slavery and other social issues of the time become clear through the words, thoughts, and actions of Huck Finn. The book has always been the subject of great controversy, and according to The American Library Association it was fifth on the list of most frequently challenged books in the 1990s.

King Arthur by Joseph Comyns Carr audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

Joseph Comyns Carr's King Arthur is a stage drama in a prologue and four acts that reshapes the familiar Arthurian legend into a sweeping, pageant-like tale of ideals tested at the height of Camelot. From the mystic promise of Excalibur to the solemn call of the Holy Grail, Arthur struggles to weld a fractured realm into a kingdom worthy of justice, courage, and spiritual purpose. Around the Round Table, the noblest vows are also the most fragile: knights are pulled between sacred duty and human desire, and even the court's brightest ceremonies can mask gathering shadows. At the story's emotional center are Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot, bound by love, loyalty, and the unbearable cost of divided allegiance. As rumors harden into accusations and treachery creeps closer to the throne, Camelot becomes a battleground not only of swords but of conscience. Written in a consciously medieval tone and designed for grand theatrical spectacle, Carr's drama explores chivalry, temptation, faith, and the price of trying to build a perfect world with imperfect hearts.

Eve’s Diary by Mark Twain audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Eve’s Diary is a humorous monologue about Eve’s experiences at the dawn of creation. She is fascinated by every aspect of the new world around her and... Adam! The following is an extract from Adam:

“She is all interest, eagerness, vivacity, the world is to her a charm, a wonder, a mystery, a joy; she can’t speak for delight when she finds a new flower, she must pet it and caress it and smell it and talk to it.... And she is color-mad: brown rocks, yellow sand, gray moss, green foliage, blue sky...none of them is of any practical value, so far as I can see, but because they have color and majesty, that is enough for her, and she loses her mind over them.... If there is anything on the planet that she is not interested in, it is not in my list.”
