Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin's mercurial Muse.

Histoire
A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

Histoire
Aristotle was the first philosopher to write ethical treatises. His best-known work in this field, The Nicomachean Ethics, consists of 10 books addressing the question of how the individual should best live. For Aristotle, ethics seeks to determine what makes a virtuous character possible, which is essential for a state of well-being. He describes a sequence of necessary steps to achieve this, such as righteous actions that promote the development of the right habits. He examines the moral virtues and their corresponding vices, like courage versus fear.

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.

Histoire
One of Nietzsche’s earliest works, The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a remarkable source of inspiration. It is here that the philosopher expresses his frustration with the contemporary world and urges man to embrace Dionysian energy once more. He refutes European culture since the time of Socrates, arguing that it is one-sidedly Apollonian and prevents man from living in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life.
Description
Fydor Karamazov, a mean and disreputable landowner, has three sons, Dmitry, a profligate army officer; Ivan, a writer with revolutionary ideas; and Alexey, a religious novice. A drama of patricide and fraternal jealousy unfolds, involving the questions of anarchism and atheism, and giving a portrait of Russian society in the turbulent 1870s.
Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881) was a Russian fiction writer, essayist, and philosopher whose works have been acclaimed all over the world by thinkers as diverse as Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein.

The Brothers Karamozov
I've read the book, and purchased the audio so that I could hear it with all of the Russian names pronounced correctly (I made up the most improbably pronunciations on my own). The narrator was very good, a very listenable to voice, nice inflection, you can hear that he is interpreting the novel but is not out of sync with the tone of the writing. I would look for him as a reader on another novel.

great book
i think i grew into this book. i remember reading it in college and thinking, will it never end?
i love this reading of it. in fact, this reader has become one of my favorites. if you cannot excuse the occassional page turning, swallowing, and, yes, air in the breathing passage, don´t buy this book. because it does contain these little human imperfections. but, for me, i loved it. i felt like someone human was reading to me. but, it must be said, i am not one who likes the new modern slick productions you sometimes get when the reader is far more performing than reading.
when this book came to an end i just started again at the beginning and listened to it again. even after that it took me several days to find something else that could compare as an experience.
for this price, anyone can afford to give it a try, and i am really grateful to audibles for having some compaasion on my budget.

Fantastic! A great listen!
The narrator speaks in a natural low-key voice, with great diction and perfectly capturing the sense of all the different voices. Dostoyevky as a writer can have a world-weary tone that still conveys affection for his characters and the narrator gets this just right. You can hear some breathing, clearing of throat, and I personally like the natural approach. It sounds like someone is simply right there talking. Also it works well becasue Dostoyevky addresses the reader and so listening to the book works really well.

Maybe Better if Narrator Didn't Keep Belching!
Okay, the BOOK is awesome, of course, it's Dostoevsky. And I SOOO appreciate the availability of classics at a low price. But it is kind of disgusting to have the narrator BURPING - not to mention making unedited mistakes and such. I think I'll go ahead and pay for my subscription and not try to get these classics for this low price.

The Difference Lies in the Narration
There's a reason why Dostoevsky is regarded as one of the greatest writers in history, and one more favorable review won't change that. The book's characters and plot have so many different layers to them, that upon finishing the book, you find yourself thinking about this world that Dostoevsky has created and reveling in its masterful symmetry. Yet you don't crave more, because the author's plot ties up in a perfect ending that deliberately leaves some characters more vague and incomprehensible and other characters clearly laid out.
Yet lauding Dostoevsky's work is redundant at this point. I write this review for sensitive listeners who are looking for the best performance of the text. Gabriel Woolf brings life to the text like few other audio editions. I was impressed at his ability to make Fyodor Karamazov sound as terrible as his character is presented in the book. I'm sure it is not an easy task to formulate the perfect vocal rendition of each character (since the author is famous for creating incredibly complex and fascinating characters), so I applaud Woolf for his efforts.
If you are looking for an audiobook that will suck you up for the next few weeks of your life, this is the perfect book for you. The narrator taps into the emotional subtexts of each character's life, and it truly engages the reader.

I don't care for the narrator
Fascinating book and definitely one to read. However, I'm not crazy about the reader. You can hear him turn the pages, little burps and sometimes it sounds like he has a mint in his mouth. He tries to capture the essence of the book, but I'm finding him annoying.

David Magarshack's Translation
Would you listen to The Brothers Karamazov again? Why?
Yes, maybe in 10 years because it's such a wonderful piece of literature.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Brothers Karamazov?
The reading of Dmitri's guilt.
Which scene was your favorite?
The Grand Inquisitor. This "poem" by Ivan Karamazov, the atheist and perhaps even nihilist, is one of the greatest achievements of literature of the 19th century.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed a few times in this novel, but it isn't terrifically funny.
Any additional comments?
Although David Magarshack's translation is a bit too British at times, it's a great improvement over Constance Garnett's, which is the most common. All of Constance Garnett's translations sound like each other, even if they're by different authors. Tolstoy sounds like Dostoevsky who sounds like Turgenev. Karamazov is a rough book, and the translation conveys this.
I really liked the reading by Gabriel Woolf, although I would only look for his readings of British novels in the future. Overall, I would recommend this performance and translation very highly.

Gabriel Woolf is a master actor! Wow
Bravo! Yes, it's true that the production quality is lacking. But the acting here is brilliant! He really brought the characters to life. I have listened to many different narrators on here, and I was surprised that after finishing Brothers Karamazov, I discovered that I actually like Gabriel the best. You really get the impression that he really understands the philosophical concepts and the depth of the characters he's reading.He emphasizes the right words, pauses in the right places and the ideas flow effortlessly. He is very easy to follow. Don't be fooled by the production quality. This is the best version of Brothers Karamazov available and it's an unbelievable value. I really loved this book. Thank you Mr. Woolf!

Great Narrating and Great Story!
I'm beginning to wonder whether some of the other reviewers listened to the same book that I did. For one, you only pay $5.50 (if you're a member) for almost 35 hours of reading so from the outset, you've already made a great investment. I like the narration having enjoyed Crime and Punishment under the narration of Charlton Griffin, I looked for someone whose pronunciation was just as crisp and precise. Gabriel Woolf's narration is the best of the lot in my opinion. It was only after I had listened to all of the other narrators that I realized the low price. I prefer British accents for European novels and Woolf's Russian pronunciation is believable. He understands that the novel is told from the POV of a monk who is trying at length to make sense of the events that have transpired in his town vis a vis the Karamazov family. The narrator's tone is very conversational as if expecting feedback from the listener and this really works for me. The presentation could have used the musical backdrop of stringed instruments as in the Crime and Punishment presentation I mentioned but at $5.50, I'm not complaining.

Very good but with little annoyances
I first read Karamazov 40 years ago, and have always considered it one of the greatest novels I've ever read. I still rate it highly, but nit quite so high. It is brilliant in many places, and perhaps overall; but some aspects of it I found a little annoying: e.g. the histrionics of the characters; the great seriousness with which everyone makes that matter of which woman Dimitri really loves; and Dostoyevsky's relentless penchant for paradoxical psychology ("She betrayed me because she loves me!" "She's loyal to me out of hatred..." I'm making those up, but you get the idea).
The narrator is good–pleasant voice; good characterizations–but often seems to be struggling to swallow, and makes quite a few mistakes that haven't been edited out. SO I wouldn't give him 5 stars.
