Simplicius Simplicissimus

Travel back to the 17th century & experience Germany's brutal 30-year war with someone who lived through it all. Dark, dark humor, bloody, gory, evil, with witches & fantasy episodes. Unadulterated adventure for those who seek it. Who could ask for more but perhaps too grim & violent for some.

One of the worse listening experience

The repetitive and monotonous piano at the background drove me nuts, the narrator had to pause mid-word to catch his breath, pausing for water, with zero voice acting, and everyone sounded the same.
Worse, audiobook, ever.

Poor performance, missing audio

The narrator's commentary and poor pronunciation of even the title character's name almost ruined the experience. what did ruin the experience was that many chapters were cut short with key parts of the story missing. Please redo this recording as soon as possible. This wonderful translation deserves better than this.

Interesting Trip into the Past

The book is a wonderful snapshot of Europe’s thought world as the age of religious certainties gives way to the Enlightenment. The reading, though amateurish, is in its way charming, giving a ring of authenticity to “simp’s” voice.
