À propos de cet audio

A stunning evocation of America on the eve of a tumultuous decade—and a moving elegy for more innocent times.

In September 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by Steinbeck’s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature—to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen ear for the transactions among people is evident, too, as he records the interests and obsessions that preoccupy the Americans he encounters along the way.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Pure delight, a pungent potpourri of places and people interspersed with bittersweet essays on everything from the emotional difficulties of growing old to the reasons why giant sequoias arouse such awe." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Profound, sympathetic, often angry...an honest moving book by one of our great writers." (The San Francisco Examiner)

"This is superior Steinbeck - a muscular, evocative report of a journey of rediscovery." (John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate)

I so love his skill with words. listening to this account of America circa 1960 it struck me that while so much has changed.... very little has changed.

Gary Sinise does the work justice.

you simply cannot go wrong with Steinbeck.

loved it. I am an adventurer and would love to travel slowly around here and there with my three wee dogs in a little A model motor home. I knew I would enjoy thus book. I guess I will just have to keep dreaming at this stage of my life.

This book keeps you listening for more.
