War And Peace

De: Leo Tolstoy

Narrado por: Simon Russell Beale, Leo McKern, Nicola Pagett, Full Cast

A thirty-five strong cast including Leo McKern as Kutuzov, Simon Russell Beale as Pierre Bezuhov, Emily Mortimer as Natasha Rostov and Gerard Murphy as Andrei Bolkonsky, brings all the passion and turbulence of Tolstoy’s epic masterpiece to the airwaves in this unique BBC Radio 4 dramatisation. 'Nine hours of blood-and-thunder period drama on a single disc has to be the best bargain around' - Guardian ‘Excellent special effects and a haunting theme tune make it compulsive listening.’ - Independent©2006 and (P)1997, 2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd.

Simply, wonderful!

Although I've never read War and Peace (1500+ pages is daunting), the story is terrific and the dramatization is superb. I recommend, however, because the story is long and their A LOT of characters coming in and out that you read a summary (wikipedia, for example) as it makes it richer and more pleasurable.

My favorite audiobook

It takes a while to sort out the characters. I listened to the first hour several times. After that, you are transported. A fantastic experience. Highly recommended.

Very good dramatization

I really enjoyed this one. Very good script and very well played.

Loved It

If you've never read Tolstoy, this is a great place to start. The dramatization was done very well.

A most enjoyable listen

The music and dramatization is of the highest standard. A worthwhile purchase. The story is both insightfull and entertaining.
