Adventure audiobooks

Shipwrecks, sword fights and lost worlds.

The adventure story as the nineteenth century perfected it: a map, a voyage, a villain worth fearing, and a hero in over their head. Dumas sends his musketeers riding and Edmond Dantès tunnelling out of the Château d'If; Stevenson hands Jim Hawkins a treasure map; Rider Haggard goes looking for King Solomon's mines; Conrad, Kipling and Jack London take the genre to sea, to India and to the Yukon. These are books written to be read aloud, and they reward listening — long, cliffhanging chapters that carry a commute or a road trip.
