À propos de cet audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

Vintage Classics Murdoch: Funny, subversive, fearless and fiercely intelligent, Iris Murdoch was one of the great writers of the 20th century. To celebrate her centenary, Vintage Classics presents special editions of her greatest and most timeless novels.

I saw a monster rising from the waves.

Charles Arrowby has determined to spend the rest of his days in hermit-like contemplation. He buys a mysteriously damp house on the coast, far from the heady world of the theatre where he made his name, and there he swims in the sea, eats revolting meals and writes his memoirs. But then he meets his childhood sweetheart Hartley, and memories of her lovely, younger self crowd in - along with more recent lovers and friends - to disrupt his self-imposed exile. So instead of 'learning to be good', Charles proceeds to demonstrate how very bad he can be.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction, 1978.

This book is a bit long, but I could listen to Richard E Grant read the telephone book.

Richard E Grant is wonderful

The Sea, The Sea. Compelling writing combined with flawless narration. The repetitive extension of the title fairly indicates the whole book's seemingly endless narcissistic delusions of a famous actor. There were several points in this audiobook that I wished it could be over soon because I was fed up with his antics. Drawn forward because of the wonderful characterizations by the narrator and my curiosity about the outcome for this extraordinary person,  I am both relieved that I've finished and grateful for the richness of the experience.

Richard E. Grant is extraordinary! His narration of Iris Murdoch book is truly a work of art! I could not wait to get into my car every morning on my way to work and listen to this exciting, strange and seductive tale on being human - Mostly in it’s less fine aspect of jealousy, possessiveness, power, illusion, and greed. Brilliantly written, performed with such aliveness and skill!

Simply incredible!
