Acerca de esta escucha
Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late 20th century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between England and France yet a world away from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the story of those he has known. He writes of family secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships betrayed, love glimpsed and lost.
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the 20th century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island.

Historia
Through Jim Burden's endearing, smitten voice, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant life in the Nebraska heartland, with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's most beguiling characters: the Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride, Antonia's desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and the coy Lena Lingard. Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching, free-spirited Antonia.

Historia
A major classic of 1930s literature, Antal Szerb's "Journey by Moonlight" is the fantastically moving and darkly funny story of a bourgeois businessman torn between duty and desire. 'On the train, everything seemed fine. The trouble began in Venice ...' Mihály has dreamt of Italy all his life. When he finally travels there, on his honeymoon with Erszi, he soon abandon his new wife in order to find himself, haunted by old friends from his turbulent teenage days: beautiful, kind Tamas, brash and wicked Janos, and the sexless yet unforgettable Eva.

Historia
Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of 389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the "Pushkin sonnet") is one of the landmarks of Russian literature. In the poem, the eponymous hero repudiates love, only to later experience the pain of rejection himself. Pushkin’s unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy, and the consequences of social convention.

Written initially in French, later translated by the author into English, Molloy is the first book in Dublin-born Samuel Beckett's trilogy. It was published shortly after WWII and marked a new, mature writing style, which was to dominate the remainder of his working life. Molloy is less a novel than a set of two monologues narrated by Molloy and his pursuer, Moran.

Britt-Marie can't stand mess. She eats dinner at precisely the right time and starts her day at six in the morning because only lunatics wake up later than that. And she is not passive-aggressive. Not in the least. It's just that sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention. But at 63, Britt-Marie has had enough. She finally walks out on her loveless 40-year marriage and finds a job in the only place she can: Borg, a small, derelict town devastated by the financial crisis.

Historia
Set in the town of Travnik, Bosnian Chronicle presents the struggle for supremacy in a region that stubbornly refuses to submit to any outsider. The era is Napoleonic and the novel, both in its historical scope and psychological subtlety, Tolstoyan. In its portrayal of conflict and fierce ethnic loyalties, the story is also eerily relevant. Ottoman viziers, French consuls, and Austrian plenipotentiaries are consumed by an endless game of diplomacy and double-dealing.

The Holocaust was perpetrated by the Germans, but it would not have been possible without the assistance of other countries. If we are to understand how and why the Holocaust happened, Götz Aly argues in this groundbreaking study, we must examine its prehistory throughout Europe. We must look at countries as far-flung as Romania and France, Russia and Greece, where, decades before the Nazis came to power, a deadly combination of envy, competition, nationalism, and social upheaval fueled a surge of anti-Semitism, creating the preconditions for the deportations and murder to come.

Wonderful narration!
The story was perfect for an audiobook as it was recounted in the first person by a wonderful actor. As Ebenezer describes his life in Guersey the characters spring to life. I knew nothing about Guersey before listening to this book and loved learning about Ebenezer's community and the island's history.

WOW!
A book to be savored and treasured by little and by little. A journey into the life of an extraordinary man telling us his life story because he hopes to find in the telling its deepest meaning.

A brave and successful reading.
Takes a while to get into this book. One fears at first this may become a sentimental or overly nostalgic view of a lost way of life. After a while you realize you're in good hands with this author. I highly recommend the book, in audio or print.
Roy Dotrice, the reader, performs a great service to the book, I think. I certainly don't know the subtleties of accent and intonation he's dealing with here. But he has made decisions about how he will read it and carries it out over a long span with perfect integrity. His reading turns the entire book into poetry, or even music. Here again you may feel at first that the voice will wear on you, but his skill is such that it carries the story along without fail.
A perfect match of reader and text.

Pierced My Heart and Left an Aching Void
This book pierced my heart and left an aching void. It covers the scale of human nature from wondrous to pure meanness, the depth and range of our emotions, and recalls the importance to a life of the few true connections one really makes in a lifetime.
I didn't see Ebenezer Le Page as the "cantankerous" old man the publisher describes, a description that held me back from reading this for a couple of years.
Some people have a problem with the narrator's accent. I enjoyed it, as authentic-sounding. This is the same guy who narrated the Game of Thrones books, if that makes a difference to you.

Very enjoyable story
This is a very delightful book. It recounts the life story of Ebenezer le Page, a confirmed resident of the Guernsey Island. It follows Ebenezer from his early years through World War I and World War II, but those are mostly backdrops for a recounting of life on the Island and his relationships with his family and friends. The voice of the book is that of an old person telling their life story, if you have spent time with the very old and heard their stories the author gets this just right.
The discussion of the relationships of family and of men and men and women has a very good depth of thought and gives something to think about.
I enjoyed this book greatly and would highly recommend it.
The reader does an excellent job of giving voice to this old man and was a true delight.

Im going to miss Mr. le Page......
Any additional comments?
Took me back in time....
I remember visits to Mississippi as a child in 50s, early 60s. Sitting in ancient living rooms with ancient furniture, and listening to the Old Folks reminicing about the past....past neighbors, cousins, marriages and children. The accents rich and deep, and idioms surprising and humorous. This story is like that but more complete. It is multidimensional yet pure. The narrator is probably best ive ever heard. A real treat. Bravo

By the end, I loved this old fellow
This book -- first published in 1981 -- is critically acclaimed and has overwhelmingly glowing reader reviews. There seems to be just one refrain from reviewers: Give it time, because it starts out slowly. Thus, I looked forward to this more than any book in quite some time.
It did indeed start off slowly for me. The story is a memoir written down in three books by crusty 80-something Ebenezer Le Page about his long life on the island of Guernsey, located in the English Channel. His life encompassed both world wars, including the Nazi occupation during WWII (the only British territory with that distinction). I wouldn't exactly call it stream-of-consciousness writing, but Ebenezer jumps around from story to story, and many were entirely dull.
And yet... we find all those anecdotes are necessary. Roughly three-quarters through, it finally became great for me. By the end, I loved this old fellow. His thoughts on old age and dying and "progress" on his beloved island are especially poignant.
I'd say if you like long reads and delayed gratification, you'd do well to consider letting old Ebenezer take you for a tour of his island.

One of the Best
I am so grateful I stumbled upon this story. Roy Dotrice narrating could not be improved and I prefer his voice to reading. The way the tale unfolds slowly but poignantly is a masterpiece in my estimation. I put it on par with Patrick Tull narrating the Master and Commander series. I was moved to tears several times by the simple and in it's own way elegant story. It seemed so genuine and I feel a better person for having shared it.
