Continuing its 165-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer introduces The 100 Greatest Classics Audio Book, a palm-size device that plays 100 of the greatest works of literature, already stored on the device.

Eliminating the hassle of downloading files, the lightweight player comes pre-loaded with unabridged texts by noteworthy authors including Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Jane Austen.

"Since The 100 Greatest Classics Audio Book comes pre-loaded with content, users can focus on enjoying the renowned works immediately without first connecting to a computer or spending additional money for literature," explained Hammacher Schlemmer's General Manager Fred Berns.

The expansive collection features short stories by O. Henry and Kipling, plays by Ibsen and Shakespeare, philosophical treatises by Nietzsche and Aristotle, and classic novels such as Moby-Dick and Treasure Island.

Its full 600 hours of entertainment also includes 50 classical music favorites by Mozart, Chopin, and other renowned composers. The pocket-size device weighs merely 1-oz., it comes with an adapter so it can be played through a car radio, and its rechargeable battery lasts up to eight hours after an eight-hour charge using the included USB cable.

The 100 Greatest Classics Audio Book is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $99.95. For more information about this product, please visit The 100 Greatest Classics Audio Book or contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail at pr@hammacher.com.
