Charles Dickens - The Complete Christmas Collection
Featured Listen
Hard Times stands as one of Charles Dickens’s sharpest critiques of Victorian industrial society. The story follows the Gradgrind family and others as they grapple with the dehumanizing effects of utilitarianism. Though Dickens’s shortest novel, just over 100,000 words, Hard Times packs a powerful punch with its harsh satire of industrialization and fact-based education.
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.
