50+ Great Novellas and Short Stories. Vol. 1

Featured Listen
Finnegans Wake is James Joyce's final and most ambitious novel, published in 1939. Renowned for its experimental style and complex language, incorporating puns and allusions from dozens of languages, this unconventional work is now considered a masterpiece of modernist literature.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
