The Lost Village

De: Richard Askwith

Narrado por: Nick Rawlinson

The idea of the unspoilt and unchanging village is one of the most potent in the English imagination. Yet the English village is plainly dying. The unaltered rhythms of village life have all but vanished. But not without a trace…they exist in the voices of men and women for whom the old ways were life-shaping realities. Richard Askwith describes a journey in search of the true country dwellers. He captures the voices of poachers and gamekeepers, farmers and huntsmen, thatchers and blacksmiths, and demonstrates that, while the landscape is more changed than we thought, the past is never so simple as we imagine.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"He succeeds handsomely, ferreting out a remarkable array of old-timers…their disappearing world captured so vividly." ( The Sunday Times)

"The Lost Village is a sincere cry for help from a man who has found a cause that resonates deep inside of him." ( Independent)

got bored after a while

got bored after a while, the writer travels and travels and it seems only for the Narrator to excel with all the age and dialects! Maybe due to this I just lost interest there were so many characters.
