The Pilot by James Fenimore COOPER (1789 - 1851) Genre(s): Action & Adventure Fiction, Historical Fiction, War & Military Fiction Read by: Jim Locke in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 18 - Chapter 18 00:34:07 - 19 - Chapter 19 01:06:51 - 20 - Chapter 20 01:33:03 - 21 - Chapter 21 01:53:24 - 22 - Chapter 22 02:19:00 - 23 - Chapter 23 02:45:43 - 24 - Chapter 24 03:23:02 - 25 - Chapter 25 03:42:05 - 26 - Chapter 26 04:05:25 - 27 - Chapter 27 04:31:19 - 28 - Chapter 28 04:54:56 - 29 - Chapter 29 05:20:44 - 30 - Chapter 30 05:40:38 - 31 - Chapter 31 06:10:05 - 32 - Chapter 32 06:40:01 - 33 - Chapter 33 The work, which was admired by Herman Melville and Joseph Conrad for its authentic portrayal of a seafaring life and takes place during the American Revolution, launched a whole genre of maritime fiction. It features a mysterious and almost superhuman American sea pilot (based on the American hero John Paul Jones) who fights battles off the coast of England against the British and American loyalists. One of the book's themes is the ambiguous nature of loyalty. Although often bogged down by complicated nautical terminology and intrusive philosophical dialogue, the novel is nevertheless noted for its spiritual and moral dimensions. - Summary by The Encyclopedia Britannica More information: https://librivox.org/the-pilot-by-james-fenimore-cooper/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Salammbo by Gustave FLAUBERT (1821 - 1880) Genre(s): Historical Fiction Read by: Françoise in French Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Le Festin 00:41:44 - 02 - A Sicca 01:28:52 - 03 - Salammbô 01:48:15 - 04 - Sous les murs de Carthage 02:28:35 - 05 - Tanit 03:02:18 - 06 - Hannon 03:47:30 - 07 - Hamilcar Barca - Première partie 04:28:21 - 08 - Hamilcar Barca - Deuxième partie 05:14:41 - 09 - La bataille du Macar 05:50:35 - 10 - En campagne 06:26:20 - 11 - Le serpent 06:55:24 - 12 - Sous la tente Roman historique situé au 3ème siècle avant JC. La trame du récit raconte la guerre qui oppose Carthage aux mercenaires qu'elle avait employé lors de la première Guerre Punique, et qui se rebellent car Carthage tarde à leur payer leur solde.Le roman met en scène Salammbo, fille fictive du général Hamilcar ainsi que l'amour que lui portent deux chefs mercenaires. Ce roman se caractérise par la richesse de ses descriptions et il s'en dégage une atmosphère poétique toute particulière. Flaubert, ici, rejoint la veine des Trois Contes où il donne libre cours à son imagination romantique. Le roman connut un vif succès dès sa parution en 1862 malgré quelques critiques négatives, mais avec les encouragements de Victor Hugo et d'Hector Berlioz. A noter que certains, aujourd'hui, estiment que ce roman mythique et violent serait l'ancêtre de l'heroic Fantasy : il a notamment inspiré Philippe Druillet qui en a fait une bande dessinée, et un jeu video inspirée du roman est sorti en 2003. - Summary by Babylon5 More information: http://librivox.org/salammbo-by-gustave-flaubert-2/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
