Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was born September 29, 1547, was a Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for his novel Don Quixote, a work often cited as both the first modern novel and one of the pinnacles of world literature. Much of his life was spent in poverty and obscurity, many of its details are disputed or unknown, and the bulk of his surviving work was produced in the three years preceding his death.

The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most spellbinding tales ever written. It tells of a good man, Edmond Dantes, whose jealous enemies conspire to destroy him; how an unexpected friend gives him the tools to survive; how he escapes from an island fortress; how the discovery of a vast treasure transforms him into a super-wealthy nobleman determined to carry out his revenge; and the surprising lessons in loyalty and love that he learns on his way.

One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Did he really understand the women?
What did you like most about Anna Karenina?
The character development; for the most part they were all incredibly believable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Anna Karenina?
The train, when Anna returns from Moscow to Karenin with Vronsky in the background.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
When Anna finally gives in to Vronsky
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Definitely not. Too many characters, too many parts. It works better if you listen to a piece at a time.
Any additional comments?
I was hooked on this book until the end. Anna's final actions are incongruous with the rest of the book and destroy the strength of female 'sensibility.' There were so many more things she would have done and Tolstoy's choice tainted the rest of the book.

Overlong classic superbly read
The narrator was wonderful and the novel a great one, but large slabs were dull.

David Horovitch is fantastic
What a stellar performance. He really makes this book. I’ve read Tolstoy before but this was spectacular - I think I understood it better and was really moved.

Beautifully read
I would recommend this to anyone.
The novel is great - read it, listen to it, you won't regret it. It is close to being a perfect work of art.
This narration does it justice. It is stupendously good. Ever since I listened to this I've really struggled to find another book that I can bear listening to. I guess I'm just going to have to work my way through David Horovitch's others now.

A beautiful book spoilt by David Horovitch
This great book was ruined by the narrator, another smacking of lips and loud swallowing narrator, makes me shudder. Emphasis was wrong in most parts, ruined the moment many a time.

A wonderful landscape of Russian life and love in the 19th century, a age gone.

Delicate and powerful
A joy. Whilst sin may lead to madness we can invest in goodness if we so choose to. Just as relevant for us all today. Tolstoy makes the universal personal. My heart is with Ana's children.
