Amazing reading
Revisado: 01-15-24
Good interesting story,
The reading was outstanding. The various voices represented real different people.
It is heavier than Jane Austen’s books,
Yet a good book
and nice to see another side of Mary, the neglected sister.

Historia
Elfrida Jane, accustomed to the energetic life of a small-part actress, finds life at Mountain Cross very different. At first her mother's old cliff-top house seems lonely and bleak, compared to the glitter and bustle of the theatre. But Elfrida has plenty of courage and soon settles down to enjoy herself. Then, suddenly, her peace is shattered. To the house on the cliff come unexpected visitors from the world of the theatre - a world Elfrida thought she had left behind forever.

The House on the Cliff
Revisado: 12-14-23
I love D E Stevenson read by Candida Gubbins. This book is beautiful, interesting, cleverly woven with magical threads. There is warmth and beauty in it contrasted by meanness of spirit and even cruelty.
The reader is amazing. I listen to it repeatedly to hear and admire the fascinating way she reads the book. Each character has a specific recognized voice which is carried effortlessly through the whole book without a miss. I listen and am amazed every time. It is a combined masterpiece of writer and reader. The city and mostly, the countryside and sea shore, are described in a way that the reader sees and feels the place , the weather and the atmosphere. I feel as if l visited the place, sat in the rooms of the old house, was welcomed to the old kitchen and walked in every trail among the little forest, the dwellings of the piglets and l am sure l went down to the seashore but prefer to walk in the wilderness of the rose garden. A magical book with deep feelings and lovable people, especially the Heroine, Alfrida Jane. I just hope that if she met me she could liked me too.

Historia
Published in 1939, Before Lunch is a portrait of the charming English community of "Barsetshire." When the erection of a tea shop and garage threatens to spoil the bovine pastures of Pooker's Piece, Lady Bond and Lord Pomfret unite with the Middletons and the Stoners to stop it. In the meantime, the young and the not-so-young all fall in love - though not always with the right person - and sort out their affairs in a hilarious welter of cross-purposes.

An amazing procuction
Revisado: 10-28-23
Listening to this dramatization, I felt as if I am sitting in a magnificent theatre watching the most beautiful rendering of Pride and Prejudice with amazing scenery. All actors are wonderful, Elizabeth is outstanding, enchanting and so lovable. Jane has the just right amount of softness and logic except her conversation with Miss Bingley in London where she says that she does not feel so good. That was absolutely unnecessary, and not correct. Jane is a very proud person. Everyone is great, the music is just right. I think Mr. Bennet is a tiny bit too clownish at times but maybe he deserves it. Thank you for having this.

Historia
Persuasion, Jane Austen's last novel, is a tale of love and marriage told with irony and insight. Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth have met and seperated years before. Their reunion, after the passage or irrecoverable years of their youth, forces a recognition of the false values that drove them apart.

Serene, sharp, cleverly humorous.
Delicate, woven like a tapestry. The characters are alive, distinct. The heroine is a surprising young woman, the hero is just what he should be. A masterpiece!

Historia
Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.

Historia
What is art? Why do we value images of saints, kings, goddesses, battles, landscapes or cities from eras of history utterly remote from ourselves? This history of art shows how painters, sculptors and architects have expressed the belief systems of their age: religious, political and aesthetic. From the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, to the revolutionary years of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the artist has acted as a mirror to the ideals and conflicts of the human mind.

This is a fascinating book. I listen to it again and again. The story / history line and the narrator are wonderful.
Especially clever is the way the author gives us his views on modern art.
But every chapter and every word are sparkling gems.
