Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories

De: Oscar Wilde

Narrado por: Derek Jacobi

Lord Arthur Saviles's Crime is a masterpiece of polished cynicism, in which poison, explosive clocks, and finally murder forerun married bliss.

Each of the eight stories here were published in the heyday of Wilde's career, between 1887 and 1891.

Fantastic! Must Listen

Oscar Wilde stories are just gold the narrator just killed it! Absolutely the best work I’ve heard in a long time.

Would be perfect if the tracks matched the titles

This is the first time I have listened to Mr. Derek Jacobi's reading, and I have no reservation of giving his performance a five star rating. As a fan of Oscar Wilde, I am usually quite picky about the audiobook actors, but this one is a pleasant surprise. I am perfectly satisfied. However, what I can't understand about this audiobook is that while there are 8 stories, there are only 6 audio tracks named "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc., thus it is impossible to know which track is which story (as some contain part of two stories). In fact, there is nowhere you can find the actual titles of the remaining 7 stories apart from the one in the title on the cover. Is this a joke or carelessness? Can somebody spare 10min and get this right, please??

Comparably better.

Well, read and clear to understand. I’ve listened to quite a lot of others, and this is by far my favorite of the same exact stories.

Hmmmm

Most of them are already made into movies. But if I remember right they all had a slightly different ending....

Never the less, I love Oscar Wild. But in the future I will only select his theatre pieces, Dorian Gray and Profundus.
