À propos de cet audio

 Hailed as “one of the finest Canadian novels ever written” by The Globe and Mail, W.O. Mitchell’s Who Has Seen the Wind is a beloved mainstay of Canadian literature. This new, abridged audio edition is read by the author himself.

Mitchell’s novel follows Brian O’Connal, a young boy growing up in Depression-era Saskatchewan. Curious and eager to explore the impossibly vast Canadian prairie, Brian guides the reader through the inner workings of his small, rural town and its quirky characters. As Brian grows up, navigating faith, loss, and his relationships with his grandmother and his friends, we see him evolve alongside the changing landscape of small-town Canadian life. Drawing on his own experiences growing up in rural Saskatchewan, Mitchell paints a vivid, nostalgic portrait of childhood in a long-lost era.

I liked that the characters occasionally reverted to their Scottish accents, especially as they grew older.

Dictated by someone who could have been there. He probably was.

As wide as the Prairies, as rich as her soil and as infathomable as the wind which blows across this landscape, so much said with so few but exquisitely crafted brushstrokes, leaving an indelible, universal stamp as unmistakable as a firebrand upon the soul of the reader, but as gentle as a birdcall or a cricket’s chirp.

A Breathtaking tale…

W. O. Mitchell narrates this Canadian classic with all the grace, humour and gravitas of a master storyteller. Even in its abridged form, the story and its language resonates, haunts and delights. I fell in love with Bryan from the start.

Canadian Classic

Mitchell's book follows a young boy growing up and his experiences with pets, teachers and life. Frankly, it is not very entertaining or interesting; the book reads like something you would be forced to read in grade school and not enjoy. Furthermore, the narration does not have different enough voices for some of the female characters which made it challenging to follow some of the plot lines. I was only able to listen to 2 hours then quit out of boredom.

not very entertaining

You can definitely tell this story was written by an old man. all the women are written very flat, and play very gendered roles in the story. The main character is a pain in the ass kid, who is trying to understand life. But honestly his behavior and actions make me role my eyes. I understand the symbolism of life, death, birth, God, ect but not one of these ideas except for maybe death, are really built upon.
In short I don't recommend.

Dated story I had to read for uni
