À propos de cet audio
Romola is the fourth novel from the great Victorian novelist George Eliot and her first historical novel. Published in 1862 - 63, it is set in Florence at the end of the fifteenth century and events during the Italian Renaissance, and includes in its plot several notable figures from Florentine history.
The story is of a girl's devotion to her blind father, her marriage to and betrayal by a young Greek and ultimate life of self-sacrifice.
English novelist George Eliot (1819-1880), real name Mary Ann (Marian) Evans was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era.

Brilliant, sensitive reading of an insightful novel
The novel itself is, of course, astounding. George Eliot communicates insights into human beings' inner worlds and outward relationships with almost painfully accurate eloquence. What sets this audiobook apart is the reader. The recording comes from (I think) the 1960s, when the actor Gabriel Woolf read Eliot's "Romola" *live* in a series of episodes of BBC Radio 4's "Book at Bedtime" programme. There were no "do-overs," and you'll hear occasional little slips that are unobtrusively corrected in a way that's hardly noticeable. And those little slips are a small price to pay. Woolf is a celebrated interpreter of Eliot, with a decades-long connection with the George Eliot Fellowship in the UK, and his reading conveys an effortless familiarity with Eliot's style and diction. (His reading of "Middlemarch" is in a completely different league from every other performance I've sampled.) What I love most are the voices and mannerisms that he invents for the characters, all of them perfectly believable and perfectly distinct from each other. He lets the sentences roll on at a natural, tripping pace, with nothing ponderous or artificial. Listen and enjoy!
