For those of us who are either lazy, cannot find a copy, or (like me) simply like to listen to it whilst doing other things:

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 by Friedrich Engels. (poor quality, I apologize)


Not an audio book but:

Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed

That is actually the most listenable computer-generated voice I have ever heard. Incidentally, its accent sounds Australian, doesn't it?

Yeah, but you'll notice that it can't manage to narrate everything, there are some rather long pause where the program can't read a part of the text and just skips it.

And yeah I guess it does kinda sound Australian.

I admit. I did it. I used autotune to make it sound robotic.

Actually, if anyone, it sounds similar to Gracc.

You're right. My voice is original and can't be replicated. It's holy. Like an impregnable fortress of originality.

Hey, thanks for posting this. I decided a while back to get into audio books, and this is the perfect text to listen to. I find that with stuff like this, it's easier to hear it being said.

If you have an Android, get the app "LibriVox Audio Books"
everything is free, they have a good selection of various books in many languages.

I've found all sorts of fun books here,
Karl Marx's writings (english and german)
Art of War
The Wealth of Nations
The Republic
The Prince
etc.

They are stocked up with English and German books, Lacking in Russian though stare
