    Literature and Life (Complete): The text is available for free on Project Gutenberg, which typically means a public domain text, and while public domain audiobooks exist on platforms like LibriVox or for use with OverDrive/Libby, a specific *official* retail audiobook is not confirmed on the primary commercial platforms.

Summary

A dedicated search across major official audiobook retailers (Audible, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, OverDrive, Hoopla, Libby) did not confirm the existence of a single, official, unabridged audiobook for William Dean Howells's 'Literature and Life.' Several search results point to the work being in the public domain, which is often the source of free or low-cost audiobooks on platforms like LibriVox or via library services like OverDrive/Libby. Specific audio products found were partial, focusing on individual essays or short stories extracted from the collection, such as 'Short Stories and Essays (from Literature and Life)' or 'Spanish Prisoners of War' on commercial platforms. While a 'Literature and Life (Complete)' version from a publisher like Archive Classics is mentioned in conjunction with digital access, its status as an *official* audiobook on the primary retail sites remains unverified, leading to the conclusion that a readily available, official, unabridged audiobook does not exist at this time.
