Read Classics

Read Classics brings you great novels in editions made for reading: pages set in Garamond like a fine printed book, original paintings throughout the story, and audiobooks whose words light up as they are read. TEN GREAT NOVELS Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Time Machine and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Every edition opens with an introduction written for Read Classics, and ends with a chronology of the author's life and ideas for what to read next. READ ALONG WITH THE NARRATOR Press play and a narrator reads to you while each word lights up on the page. The pages turn by themselves to keep up. Slow the voice down or speed it up, set a sleep timer, and keep listening with the screen locked. The introduction and first chapter of every audiobook are free to listen to. Complete audiobooks are available as in-app purchases. ASK WHAT A PASSAGE MEANS Old books are full of words, customs and jokes that have changed since they were written.
