ストーリー
Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes. Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies - all motionless except for one moving image - a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time.

明治期の文学者、夏目漱石の長編小説。
初出は「東京朝日新聞」「大阪朝日新聞」[1915(大正4)年]。完成された最後の作品。
健三という知識人の主人公は夫婦関係や養父母との金銭のからんだ葛藤から神経衰弱になる。金銭問題が片付いたあとも「世の中に片付くなんてものは殆んどありゃしない」と苦々しく言う。イギリス留学から帰国して「吾輩は猫である」を書くころまでの漱石自身の身辺に起こった出来事を題材としていることから、もっとも自伝的要素の強い作品といわれる。

日露戦争の最中に温泉地を訪れた青年画家を通して、 芸術のあり方を模索した初期の代表作 『草枕』は明治39年(1906年)に発表された熊本県玉名市小天(ルビ:おあま)温泉を舞台にした中編小説であり、『吾輩は猫である』『坊っちゃん』と並ぶ初期の代表作。 「智に働けば角(かど)が立つ。情に棹(さお)させば流される。意地を通せば窮屈だ。兎角(とかく)に人の世は住みにくい。」という書き出しで有名だが、劇的な物語の展開があるわけではない。 美とは何か、憐れとは何か―― 主人公である青年画家が東京からの旅の途中、滞在した温泉宿で出会った謎めいた女性・那美に出会い、謎めいた彼女の魅力や、戦争によって揺れていく人の暮しを描写していく。 世塵から離れた風光明媚な温泉地を舞台に、西欧文明への批判を込めて、漱石自身の芸術論を主人公の長い独白として織り交ぜていると言われる。豊かな語彙と文章で、絵画的に詩情あふれる世界を落ち着いた朗読で収録している。

あらすじ・解説
In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing.
First published in Dickens’ own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens’ life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.
This exclusive recording of Great Expectations starts with a unique introduction written and narrated by Howard Jacobson, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Finkler Question, in which he explains why Great Expectations is his favourite Dickens title.
About the book
Through a rich first-person narrative, listeners are introduced to the character of young Pip as he visits the tombstones of his beloved parents. Unexpectedly confronted by the dark and mysterious Magwitch, a convict in desperate need of food, Pip must decide whether to aid or impede the stranger standing in front of him - a decision which will shape the course of his life. Introducing some of the most iconic, Gothic and comically repulsive literary characters of all time, from the vengeful Miss Havisham, torn apart by a man she once loved, to her beautiful yet seemingly impenetrable ward, Estella, the listener is propelled through a wonderfully Dickensian world.
About the author
Much like Pip, Charles Dickens was born into poverty. In his case, it was due to the incarceration of his father, and Dickens was forced to set aside his education in order to work at a nearby factory. Amazingly, this did not deter the young Dickens from rising above his station, and he went on to publish 15 novels, various articles, five novellas and hundreds of short stories. He lectured and campaigned for fair treatment of the lower classes as well as for children’s rights and education.
About the narrator
British comedian, actor and screenwriter Matt Lucas is best known for the television show Little Britain as well as playing both Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee in Alice in Wonderland and his role as Nardole in the 10th series of Doctor Who. Able to embody so many characters with just his voice, Lucas is a perfect fit for Great Expectations.
