Özet

Tom Jones is a splendid Hogarthian panorama of 18th century English life and morals, encompassing both city and country, and comprising some of the greatest comic characters in British literature. First published in 1749, it was an instant success and has gone on to become a classic of its genre. Quite simply, there has never been anything like it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Fielding is generally agreed to be an innovating master of the highest originality.... He devised what he described as 'comic epics in prose', which are in effect the first modern novels in English.... [Tom Jones] is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest." (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature)

This is a great book - I read and enjoyed it in school 60+ years ago, and wanted to read it again, but I thought it would be enjoyable to listen to someone else doing the hard work for 38 hours. I was a little puzzled as to the way in which the narrator pronounced certain words (e.g. "Sal-is-bury" instead of the British English pronunciation as "Sallsbury"; and "comely" pronounced as "comb-ly" rather than as "cumly") but fair enough - perhaps it also had to be more easily accessible to non-British listeners. The real trouble for me started with the narrator's accents when it came to dialogue. Most of the characters, especially in the early chapters of the book, were from the English West Country. Any Brit will know about, and recognise, a West Country "burr", in which there is much more faithfulness in speaking in the way words are written, especially the "R" which is said with the tip of a cupped tongue towards the roof of the mouth. However, every "non-genteel" character was made to speak with a rolling R, such as is only heard in certain parts of Scotland or on the Continent. Moreover, instead of any effort to speak with a West Country accent, the characters were made to speak with an extraordinary amalgam of Brummie/Black Country, Scottish and Irish accents which I found, at first, puzzling, then distracting, and then annoying. I must commend Charlton Griffin for his stamina in reading 38 hours of text, but I strongly believe that he should have paid some attention to how a native of Somerset actually speaks.

Audio version - pity about the accents

There's so much in Tom Jones it's hard to know where to begin. It's funny, satirical, thoughtful and downright outrageous in parts. The narrator is superb and perfectly suits the material. Well recommended.

story easy to follow as narrator was easy to listen to; not sure that I would have made it through to the end of a paper version
