A Wrinkle in Time

De: Madeleine L'Engle

Narrado por: Hope Davis, Ava DuVernay, Madeleine L'Engle, Charlotte Jones Voiklis

Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, now a major motion picture. This audiobook includes an introduction read by the film director Ava DuVernay, a foreword read by the author, and an afterword read by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis.

Meg Murray, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mother are having a midnight snack on a dark and stormy night when an unearthly stranger appears at their door. He claims to have been blown off course, and goes on to tell them that there is such a thing as a “tesseract”, which, if you didn’t know, is a wrinkle in time. Meg’s father had been experimenting with time-travel when he suddenly disappeared. Will Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin outwit the forces of evil as they search through space for their father?

In 1962, Madeleine L’Engle debuted her novel A Wrinkle in Time, which would go on to win the 1963 Newbery Medal. Bridging science and fantasy, darkness and light, fear and friendship, the story became a classic of children’s literature and is beloved around the world.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

Not what I expected

This is a fresh take on life and the universe - especially being written back in the early 60's. I guess I was expecting better writing -- but as a children's book it can stand fine.
Kind of zany and good for kids. I had to see what all the hoopla was about, not having read the book in my childhood. I guess I am too old now - I thought the writing was mediocre and the main character of Meg a nervous, whining, emotional mess.

Great book

Inspiring and thought provoking as well as entertaining. I love the way the story goes to the Truth about the battle between darkness and light. This has been the story from the beginning of time and is still going on today.

classic book that is anything but

A wonder of a story that has revelance still today. this book is difficult to box in, but yet has a familiarity that anyone can understand.

Wonderful

Wonderful characters fascinating plot. Story moved & keeps you interested. The book is like no other I have read.

Great story, not a fan of the narration

I have enjoyed every Madeleine L'Engle book I've ever read but I couldn't stand the narration on this one. When the narrator is using her normal voice it's very pleasant and I wish instead of performing the book she had just read it. The voices she does for the characters drove me crazy (specifically Meg, Calvin, and Mrs. (I think) Whatsit.

a magical journey for all ages

one of the best narrators I have ever had the pleasure of listening to perform hands-down

TIMEless!

A beautifully crafted tale for young and old alike with themes that still resonate today.
