Almayer's Folly

Another very well read Audiobook edition of yet another Joseph Conrad novel, which I read when I was a lot younger but didn't find that interesting. I know now that it was because "life" was too fast then! Work, kids, family life, DIY jobs, etc. My life wasn't slow enough for me to enjoy the beauty of Conrads prose. His descriptive language is so vivid that, as I lie here in the quiet night, I can quite easily imagine the world he is creating. I also think that this is the joy of audiobooks, no longer written for the Blind or 'otherly' disabled - like myself with arthritic hands that can no longer hold physical books or Tablet devices. A good narrator can bring these 19thC-20thC novels back to life - and prove most especially well that "people" Not AI. should read Audio-Books! I must also mention that for the price - in this case, Less than ½ a £,€ or $. - which for 10-12 Hours entertainment is Unbeatable Value! Just make sure to Preview 1st, as Not All narrator are made the same!
