About this listen
Raskolnikov, giovane studente di Pietroburgo, a causa di problemi finanziari decide di uccidere una vecchia usuraia e dopo è costretto ad uccidere anche la sorella. Vedendo sfumare il delitto perfetto che si era prefigurato, il protagonista si fa prendere dalla paura e dall’ansia. Il giudice istruttore che indaga sull’omicidio decide di non arrestarlo ma di aspettare la sua confessione. Quest’ultima avviene grazie all’intervento di Sonja, una prostituta innamorata di Raskolnikov che lo porta a capire l’errore.

"I fratelli Karamazov sono il romanzo più grandioso che mai sia stato scritto, (...) Non è certo un caso che tre capolavori di tutti i tempi trattino lo stesso tema, il parricidio: alludiamo all'Edipo re di Sofocle, all'Amleto di Shakespeare e ai Fratelli Karamazov di Dostoevskij. In tutte e tre le opere è messo a nudo anche il motivo del misfatto: la rivalità sessuale per il possesso della donna." (Sigmund Freud)

Story5 out of 5 stars 3
A Mosca, in un afoso pomeriggio di primavera, due letterati stanno elencando le prove dell'inesistenza di Dio. Lo straniero che si intromette nella discussione è di tutt'altro parere. Non solo, ma è stato presente al processo di Gesù. Si tratta infatti del Diavolo, nei panni del mago Woland, e la sua spettacolare comparsa getterà nel caos il burocratismo sovietico e l'élite letteraria del tempo. Satira devastante e fantastica, il romanzo, in parte ambientato nella capitale sovietica e in parte nell'antica Gerusalemme, è uno dei massimi capolavori della letteratura.

Scritto e pubblicato per la prima volta tra il 1865 e il 1869 sulla rivista Russkij Vestnik, riguarda principalmente la storia di due famiglie, i Bolkonskij e i Rostov, nel periodo delle guerre napoleoniche in Europa e in Russia tra il 1805 e il 1812. Tolstoj paragonava la sua opera alle grandi creazioni omeriche, e, nella sua immensità, "Guerra e Pace" si potrebbe dire un romanzo "infinito", l'autore sembra cioè essere riuscito a trovare la forma perfetta con cui descrivere in letteratura "l'uomo nel tempo".

Romanzo imprescindibile e di una modernità straordinariamente vitale, narra la storia della passione che spinse Anna a rinunciare alla sua famiglia, alla sua posizione sociale, a ogni cosa, per amore di Vrònskij. E davanti ai nostri occhi scorre tutta la Russia dell'epoca, dai salotti dell'alta società alle isolate isbe di campagna, dai gelidi uffici ministeriali alle paludi dove si tira alle beccacce, in un quadro di profonda e spietata bellezza.

La storia di Roma racconta la parabola del più grande impero occidentale con la scrittura affilata che ha negli anni appassionato - e appassiona tutt'ora - i lettori di Indro Montanelli. Abile, la penna dell'autore ripercorre i rivolgimenti culturali e politici della società romana dalle sue origini al crollo dell'impero, unendo alla sempre precisa cronaca degli eventi, ritratti vivaci delle figure che di Roma hanno incarnato la storia.

Il bestseller giapponese da 4 milioni di copie di Ichiro Kishimi, e Fumitake Koga. Una guida verso se stessi e la felicità interiore. In parole semplici e chiare gli autori pongono domande e danno risposte esaustive. Il mondo sembra "un groviglio caotico di contraddizioni"? Porre continuamente le domande al mondo e non ricevere mai le risposte? Sei rimasto sbalordito dal chaos del mondo moderno che sembra non finire mai? Hai perso o non hai mai avuto fiducia in te stesso, nelle tue capacità? Vuoi cambiare te stesso e la tua vita e non sai da dove cominciare?

Proust ci dice che non ha narrato la "Recherche" per dei lettori, i suoi: "Infatti non sarebbero stati, secondo me, lettori miei, ma lettori di se stessi [...], li avrei muniti, grazie al mio libro, del mezzo per leggere in se stessi." Sembra impossibile, ma "Alla ricerca del tempo perduto" è un audiolibro che contiene un mondo, forse il mondo, e con esso la dimensione più umana di tutte: il tempo. E come una luce o un preludio, "Dalla parte di Swann" ci introduce, illumina quest'opera monumentale, i suoi temi e i suoi personaggi;

Sicilia, all'epoca del tramonto borbonico. È di scena una famiglia della più alta aristocrazia, colta nel momento del trapasso del regime, mentre già incalzano i tempi nuovi. Accentrato intorno all'imponente personaggio del principe Fabrizio Salina, il romanzo offre un'immagine del clima di disincanto e di speranze deluse che seguì l'unificazione nazionale.

L'Odissea è un testo che conserva sempre intatto il suo fascino particolare. Restiamo sempre ammaliati da quello che si può considerare il viaggio più importante di tutta la cultura occidentale. La curiosità dell'ignoto, il bisogno del viaggio e del ritorno a casa sono le forze che spingono Ulisse a vagabondare per tutto il mondo conosciuto ed anche oltre. Le sue avventure si sviluppano in un continuo intreccio di rapporti con gli dèi, i quali di volta in volta in volta lo salvano o tentano di eliminarlo.

Primo capolavoro della letteratura occidentale, scritto probabilmente intorno all'VIII secolo a.C., l'Iliade è, insieme con l'Odissea, uno dei pilastri di tutta la cultura occidentale. Nel poema si narrano i 51 giorni della guerra di Troia, dall'ira di Achille ai funerali di Ettore, densi di battaglie ed imprese nelle quali si intrecciano continuamente i destini di dèi ed eroi.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
