Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

At the age of 12, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully's Landing, his father is nowhere in sight.

Publicado em 1949, o texto de Orwell nasceu destinado à polêmica. Traduzido em mais de sessenta países, virou minissérie, filmes, quadrinhos, mangás e até uma ópera. Ganhou holofotes em 1999, quando uma produtora holandesa batizou seu reality show de Big Brother. 1984 foi responsável pela popularização de muitos termos e conceitos, como Grande Irmão, duplopensar, novidioma, e buraco da memória. O trabalho de Winston, o herói de 1984, é reescrever artigos de jornais do passado, de modo que o registro histórico sempre apoie a ideologia do Partido.

A Study in Scarlet was the very first Sherlock Holmes novel. Here, in the most remarkably precise manner, Doyle produced two of the most well-known characters in English fiction. Their individual traits and their relationships, their ambitions and foibles are introduced against the backdrop of an exciting story of revenge and persistence, which starts in Victorian England but moves to the American West, and the environment of the early Mormon communities.

山本周五郎は「文学には“純”も“不純”もなく、“大衆”も“少数”もない。ただ“よい小説”と“わるい小説”があるばかりだ」を信念とし、普遍妥当性をもつ人間像の造形を生涯の目的とした作家で、時代小説を中心に沢山の作品を残しています。
　その作風は今なお古臭さを感じさせず、繊細に描かれた人の心の機微や人情に、思わず笑わされたり、胸を打たれたりする魅力に溢れています。
