À propos de cet audio

First published in 1869, Lorna Doone is the story of John Ridd, a farmer who finds love amid the religious and social turmoil of 17th-century England. He is just a boy when his father is slain by the Doones, a lawless clan inhabiting wild Exmoor on the border of Somerset and Devon. Seized by curiosity and a sense of adventure, he makes his way to the valley of the Doones, where he is discovered by the beautiful Lorna. In time their childish fantasies blossom into mature love - a bond that will inspire John to rescue his beloved from the ravages of a stormy winter, rekindling a conflict with his archrival, Carver Doone, that climaxes in heartrending violence. Beloved for its portrait of star-crossed lovers and its surpassing descriptions of the English countryside, Lorna Doone is R. D. Blackmore's enduring masterpiece.

While recently watching a travel log on Sommerset and Devon England they referred to the area as Lorna Doone country. Audible has introduced me to classics and so I added this to my list, and I’m glad I did. The language is such poetry and the characters leap right off the pages (or earbuds). A true romance that touches all the emotions. The narrator did an amazing job, especially with the local dialect (some hard to follow though). Very enjoyable time spent.

Nothing beats the classic romance

I can understand why this is an English classic, poetic writing and descriptions, a story that could be understood and felt by those around. Worth a read. I’m glad I did. However, I will probably not continue to pursue more writings by this author.
