Had forgotten that it was written in epistolary form. I was surprised at how well it holds up and how modern it seems although we now read it with the benefit of being able to think of the content in Freudian terms. Lost count of how often the "voluptuous" female vampires were mentioned! The cast of this audio version really bring the book to life. ( ) I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. A lot of times with classics, they get so much hype and end up being either boring or impossible to read. This was neither. While to story was slow-paced, it wasn’t boringly so. It was very simple the way it was told and how the plot unfolded, but it was refreshing. So many times stories are so convoluted that, even though it’s fiction, it has you shaking your head. More isn’t always better and this book demonstrated that. I think what I liked best was they way it was told by the points of view of several of the characters as written in their personal and professional journals. Sometimes there was two viewpoints of the same situation. I read along with the book as I listened and it was very easy to follow. I feel I could have read the book without the aid of the audio… But who would turn down a performance by Tim Curry? Not this girl! All of the voice actors did a wonderful job bring the book to life. It was a pleasure to listen to/read. Fantastic story. I love the way that it is told through diaries, newspaper reports and letters. The story follows the best horror tradition of show the fear, not the monster. For a 100 year old book it holds up very well to modern sensibilities in story telling and content. The audiobook was also the best way to experience this book. Being written in first person with different narrators for each change in perspective it was an engaging experience listening. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Audie Award, Distinguished Achievement in Production, 2013 Audie Award, Multi-voiced Performance, 2013 Audie Award Nominee, Classic, 2013Because of the widespread awareness of the story of the evil Transylvanian count and the success of numerous film adaptations that have been created over the years, the modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure--a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters--with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power. This production of Dracula is presented by what is possibly the best assemblage of narrating talent ever for one audiobook: Emmy Award nominees Alan Cumming and Tim Curry plus an all-star cast of Audie award-winners Simon Vance (The Millenium Trilogy), Katherine Kellgren (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), Susan Duerden (The Tiger's Wife), John Lee (Supergods) and customer favorites Graeme Malcolm (Skippy Dies), Steven Crossley (The Oxford Time Travel series), Simon Prebble (The Baroque Cycle), James Adams (Letters to a Young Contrarian), Nicola Barber (The Rose Garden), Victor Villar-Hauser (Fun Inc.), and Marc Vietor (1Q84). These stellar narrators have been cast as follows: Alan Cumming as Dr. SewardSimon Vance as Jonathan HarkerKaty Kellgren as Mina Murray/HarkerSusan Duerden as Lucy WestenraTim Curry as Van HelsingGraeme Malcolm as Dailygraph correspondentSteven Crossley as Zookeeper's account and reporterSimon Prebble as VarnaJames Adams as Patrick HennesseyNicola Barber as Sister AgathaVictor Villar-Hauser as Arthur HolmwoodMarc Vietor as Quincey MorrisJohn Lee as Introductory paragraph, various letters No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
