The Dream of the Red Chamber (also known as The Story of the Stone) is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China, and considered the greatest of them all. Almost 40 main characters and some 500 minor characters tell the fortunes of the Chia family; the book details mainly the life of Chia Pao-yü, the heir apparent, who is described as very intelligent, but also as carefree and self-indulging. The already wealthy Chia family rises to new heights when Pao-yü's elder sister becomes an imperial consort.

A very difficult listen
Revisado: 05-17-23
This story is a classic and is valuable to listen to for that reason. However the performance is not consistent from chapter to chapter. Portions are very much like a dry read. Other portions sound like they were read in a closed closet.
I know the story is hard to perform but I would suggest that white noise or background music could make it easier for the reader to catch up and follow the story well. The group which was credited with narrating has done this for other books and it worked well.
I give great credit to the narrators for proper Chinese pronunciation.
Listeners should be aware of the story before listening. The book is an excellent story but it is complex and requires commitment.

Remember Us is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl: a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos, and the treasure of a loving family. All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget.

Humanity prevails
Revisado: 12-25-22
I have read many books about the Holocaust but this one should not be included. This is a book about humanity, which has heavy shadows from the Holocaust. I can only say that one must read it to understand better.
