Acerca de esta escucha
In a quiet seaside town near Genoa, experts gather for a linguistics conference. One speaker, Philipp Perlmann, is recently widowed and, struggling to contend with his grief, is unable to write his keynote address. As the hour approaches, an increasingly desperate Perlmann decides to plagiarize the work of Leskov, a Russian colleague who cannot attend, and pass it off as his own. But when he learns that Leskov has arrived unexpectedly in Genoa, Perlmann must protect himself from exposure by constructing a maelstrom of lies and deceit that will push him to the brink of murder. In this intense psychological drama, the bestselling author of Night Train to Lisbon again takes the reader on a journey into the depths of human emotion and the language of memory and loss.

Orphaned at birth, Eliza Sommers is raised in the British colony of Valparaíso, Chile, by the well-intentioned Victorian spinster Miss Rose and her more rigid brother Jeremy. Just as she meets and falls in love with the wildly inappropriate Joaquín Andieta, a lowly clerk who works for Jeremy, gold is discovered in the hills of northern California. By 1849, Chileans of every stripe have fallen prey to feverish dreams of wealth. Joaquín takes off for San Francisco to seek his fortune, and Eliza, pregnant with his child, decides to follow him.

In the India of 1942, two rapes take place simultaneously - that of an English girl in Mayapore, and that of India by the British. In each, physical violence, racial animosity, the coercion of the weak by the strong all play their part, but playing a part too are love, affection, loyalty, and recognition that the last division of all to be overcome is the colour of the skin.

Young Mann hides his artistic aspirations from his father and his homosexual desires from everyone. He is infatuated with one of the richest, most cultured Jewish families in Munich, and marries the daughter Katia. They have six children. On a holiday in Italy, he longs for a boy he sees on a beach and writes the story Death in Venice.

In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows—gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

"I am Eva Delectorskaya," Sally Gilmartin announces, and so on a warm summer afternoon in 1976 her daughter, Ruth, learns that everything she ever knew about her mother was a carefully constructed lie. Sally Gilmartin is a respectable English widow living in picturesque Cotswold village; Eva Delectorskaya was a rigorously trained World War II spy, a woman who carried fake passports and retreated to secret safe houses, a woman taught to lie and deceive, and above all, to never trust anyone. Three decades later the secrets of Sally's past still haunt her.

A Modern Day Crime and Punishment
Despite being much too long, this book was a psychological thriller, as advertised. The reader knows the "crime", knows who did it, and watches as the perpetrator falls apart. The suspense was amazing. My biggest problem was the poor quality of the narrator's pronunciation of the various languages involved - Italian, German and the accented English of almost all of the characters. One of the main characters (Leskov) was Russian, but as I don't speak any Russian, I am in no position to judge the correctness of his speech. I do know that the Italian and German were poor. This book has a great deal of language issues, and there should have been a reader who could better deal with them.

It was incredible. A deep Cerebral joy ride.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, and did do to all my reading, book loving friends. If I could rate only 1 book five stars I would be torn between this book and Watership Down.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Perlmann's Silence?
The psychological transformation of a brilliant mind as it slowly dissolves with seer and utter panic. He allowed fear to ruin him and spiral him from genius to primal nut. In other words he drove himself insane.
My favorite part was When he was driving the car and trying to remember his murder plans, while is victim was so loving and friendly. His victim only had Perlmanns interest in mind as Perlmann was trying to remember how and why to kill him.
Which character – as performed by Mel Foster – was your favorite?
Narration was awesome. Played all parts well.
If you could take any character from Perlmann's Silence out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Well I did love Perlmann But i'm not sure I want to be friends with him.
Any additional comments?
This novel is very complex and muti-layered. The detail with which his thoughts are tormenting him and consuming him was sheer genius.
