Science Fiction & Fantasy audiobooks
Where the genre began.
Before science fiction had a name, Jules Verne was sending submarines to the ocean floor and H. G. Wells was building time machines. This collection gathers those founders alongside Edgar Rice Burroughs's Mars, Lord Dunsany's dreamlike fantasy kingdoms, George MacDonald's fairy tales for grown-ups and Jonathan Swift's satirical voyages. Many of the ideas modern sci-fi and fantasy take for granted — alien worlds, invisible men, whole invented mythologies — first appeared here.
