Mansfield Park

De: Jane Austen

Narrado por: Alison Larkin

Award-winning Jane Austen narrator Alison Larkin is back with this hugely entertaining recording of Mansfield Park, followed by fascinating bonus material!

Eleven-year-old Fanny Price is "adopted" by wealthy relatives and leaves her life of poverty in Portsmouth for a much better life at Mansfield Park. Dependent, vulnerable, and often ignored, her only true friend in her new family is her cousin Edmund. When the reckless, flirtatious Crawfords arrive at Mansfield Park, Fanny must stand up for her principles in order to protect her heart.

Mansfield Park is followed by opinions on the novel by Austen's family and friends, never before heard on audio.

Like most writers, Jane Austen was very interested in what her family and friends thought of her books. She wrote down their opinions of Mansfield Park, recording both the bad and the good. These opinions dating from 1814 and 1815 will give solace to any writer whose work has been criticized, and will amuse and delight Austen fans worldwide.

"Alison Larkin's narration will captivate listeners from the first sentence. Her delicate voice and perfect English accent sweep the listener back in time, right into the lives of the characters.... Austen's nineteenth-century writing style flows off Larkin's tongue, making the dense passages easy to understand." - AudioFile Magazine

The narration nailed this version to the top

Having read and studied all of Jane Austen's works in college, it is a pleasure to listen to them for the shear enjoyment of the stories and prose. Mansfield Park is one of the classics and when you add to the the superb voice and style of Alison Larkin it brings it to the top of the charts, IMHO. In fact, when one closes their eyes, oe could imagine it being Jane Austen, herself, reading the book. I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend this adaptation of Mansfield Park to any lover of Austen's work.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!

I just listened to this as part of The Complete Novels by Jane Austen read by Alison Larkin which was recently released as it is the only Jane Austen I had not heard Ms Larkin narrate and OH this is SUCH a wonderful recording! At the end there are letters too from people Jane Austen knew - friends and family - and they are fascinating. A delightful, wholly accessible listen from an A List narrator with additional material at the end of it. Who could ask for anything more?
