INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION BY PATRICK ROTHFUSS

Experience one of the most enduring classics of the twentieth century and the book that The Atlantic has called “one of the best fantasy novels ever.”

The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone...

...so she ventured out from the safety of the enchanted forest on a quest for others of her kind. Joined along the way by the bumbling magician Schmendrick and the indomitable Molly Grue, the unicorn learns all about the joys and sorrows of life and love before meeting her destiny in the castle of a despondent monarch—and confronting the creature that would drive her kind to extinction....

In The Last Unicorn, renowned and beloved novelist Peter S. Beagle spins a poignant tale of love, loss, and wonder that has resonated with millions of readers around the world.

“Peter S. Beagle illuminates with his own particular magic.”—Ursula K. Le Guin

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Comes alive and stays alive on bright intensity of imagination.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Written in lyrical prose and rife with both whimsical humor and philosophical ruminations on what it means to be human, Beagle spins a quasi-medieval fairy tale that remains timeless.”—Time

The Last Unicorn is the best book I have ever read. You need to read it. If you've already read it, you need to read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss

When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning,
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning,
Then look into the sky where through
the clouds a path is torn,
Look and see her how she sparkles,
It's The Last Unicorn.

I wish it was longer! I wish That there were more about the unicorn and all the characters! I didn’t want it to end. I loved hearing the quotes I remembered from seeing the movie as a child. It is magical.

Very good story

The Last Unicorn is a fun read. The book, and even some of the characters know shat kind of story it is. There are moments of levity and terror. Beautiful images and wise ququotes to be taken from this book.

A Lovely and self aware fairy tale.

Eh. That's really all that I have to say. (In my humble opinion)....... sorry

Not a lot stood out. Unfortunately.

The Last Unicorn itself deserves all the praise that can be heaped upon it. It is by turns clever, profound, laugh-out-loud funny, sophisticated, heartfelt, and bittersweet, each of these qualities revealed with a deft precision and panache, perfectly balanced each against the other in a deceptively light style that is perfectly transparent to the casual reader.

It is my favorite book, and I own at least ten copies in various editions. This is apparently the only thing I have in common with the introducer, about whose inane scribblings the less said the better. I could not finish the introduction.

The audiobook narration is, even allowing for my high expectations, a bit disappointing. None of the numerous songs and poems are actually sung or dramatized, as the best narrators seem to do (I am relatively new to audiobooks, but thinking of Rob Inglis' LotR or Stefan Rudnicki's Vance narrations here). This alone might be forgivable, but the narrator also fumbles the delivery of much of the book, routinely emphasizing the wrong words in a sentence, though less often in dialog than in expository passages, almost as though she doesn't quite grasp the meaning. Her range of character voices is narrow, with some being more convincing than others (e.g., her Haggard is pretty good, but her Schmendrick doesn't land quite right, a major problem).

Maybe a thorough pre-reading wasn't done, maybe the direction was sloppy, I dunno and don't feel qualified to guess. What I do know is that the end result doesn't quite gel for this listener. I really wanted it to be great, but as it stands I'm repeatedly jarred out of my immersion in the story by these drawbacks.

Wonderful story given mediocre treatment in audio

I've read this book many times in my life and I love it more with each reading. Every time it changes how I see the world for a long while, colors are brighter and there are hints of magic that I see and feel in the everyday. It won't speak to every souls this way but it does to mine.

My only disappointment with the narration is that she missed that the book is really an epic poem and should be read that way. It's how I read and how I have read it to my children. Otherwise it's a beautiful telling of the story.

Transformative

I gave this audible book a 5 overall, then tried to do the same for the performance and story--they deserve it!--but for some reason the program wouldn't let me give more than 4 for them. I was spellbound by the beauty of its poetic prose, amazed and wanting to listen again and again, and to read it all with my eyes, too. Sadly, listening in my kitchen as I went about chores caused me to miss some parts. I hated all interruptions. I am a writer, and I learned in a college class to copy portions of writings I wanted to emulate, to write them over and over until my own creations improved in that dirction. That was more than 40 years ago, and back then I had no interest in trying that exercise after that creative writing class ended... until now. If I could reach a tenth of the quality of this story in my own work, I would be excellently fulfilled.

I don't know what my favorite part was; it was all like a long, amazing dream. If I could memorize it all, I might feel like a real poet in the tradition of the anceint epics, and I don't recall loving any anceint epics as much.

I love the fresh originality of these characters. The story gave nodding appreciation for the fairytale genre, lifting the archtypes up for inspection, and yet I didn't feel that any of the characters were sterrotypes. I look forward to growing thorugh this story as I listen to or read it again and again and discover new depths of meaning and glory.

The reader did a great job of narration and character voices, so that I could tell who was speaking by the sounds of her voice. Somehow the voices resembled those in the movie, though the written version is so much better than that good movie. The Last Unicorn is a classic like no other.

I Wept for the Beauty of It!
