iPod's Audio Book Features
Your iPod provides some nice features for Audio Books.
Remembering the last listening position
Because audio books are most of the time quite large files, it's unlikely that you listen to them in one piece. Your iPod remembers the position where you stopped listening the last time. So when you continue listening to your audio book, maybe days later, you don't have to waste time finding the right position to start. This even works, if you are listening to music or other audio books in the meantime.
Adjusting the reading speed
You can adjust the reading speed to your personal preferences.
These features are only available for audio books in the iPod format but not for MP3 files. Please refer to your iPod documentation for more information on how to use these features
by Kate Chopin
Owing to its highly personal content focused on feminine sexuality, this LibriVox edition was recorded by eight female readers.
The Modern Library edition of The Awakening has an introduction by Kay Gibbons, who writes: ?The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers with its forthright treatment of sex and suicide. Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine s desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel. ? - As Kay Gibbons points out, Chopin ?was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it. ?
To give you an idea of the subject matter, Project Gutenburg catalogues The Awakening under ?Adultery Fiction Women Louisiana New Orleans Social conditions. ?
