For Adults and Young Adults
The most common definition of an audiobook is a straight reading of a book recorded on audio CDs.
Charkha Audiobooks seeks to redefine the genre of audiobooksby adding the element of sound and
music to enhance the experience of the book.
Every story has characters, settings and contexts. An original soundtrack and musical pieces lend
sound to these characters, settings and contexts.
The story is the same, but the experience is different.
