He is the Virginian - the first fully realized cowboy hero in American literature, a near-mythic figure whose idealized image has profoundly influenced our national consciousness. This enduring work of fiction marks the birth of a legend that lives with us still.

Reseñas editoriales

In addition to being one of the first full-length Western novels, Owen Wister's The Virginian still ranks among the most satisfying. Richard Davidson's performance of this classic tale of an honorable cowboy and the woman who loves him captures the outsized personalities that populated the Wyoming frontier at the turn of the century. Davidson summons the particular cadences of good guys as well as villains, Indians as well as refined East Coast schoolteachers. The performer's gilded and self-assured delivery reveals his sizable experience. He has won the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Audiobook Non-fiction and has performed over 200 audiobooks in his career.

The detailed story of the western frontier was full of adventure as the Virginian lived his early life as a cowboy and courted a schoolmarm from Vermont. Both of them finding their way in the new territory with romance and intrigue. I enjoyed every bit of the descriptive and unique style of the writing. I ,also , enjoyed the descriptions of the landscape and the authentic characters of the old west. It was far more authentic than the movies and series we see today.

A pure delight of western adventure

Without a doubt this is the worst narration I’ve ever heard in western genre. I love the story. It’s always been one of my favorites as the forerunner for western novels. However, I couldn’t hear the story because of the narrators “performance”. We aren’t here for you, we are here for the story. He is so focused on how he is reading that he isn’t focused on what he is reading. Multiple mispronunciations, some of which are purposely put for no reason such as a drawn out “can-yaaawns” for “canyons”. Just read the story without the over-the-top theatrics.

No great complaints. Reader was okay and not irritating. Characters were not endearing to me. Tame book in the story line.

Didn't tickle my fancy

The narrator was dry, making this story not worth listening to. Went to Chapter 22 , ended it

Dull

best romance in the genre

Not at all what I had expected. Growing up in the 1950 and 1960s I was in love with the Virginian. I now know things were greatly changed and romanticized. I know now the old West was hard and not everyone was wealthy. Maybe the show Gunsmoke had it right. Nesters-do get old and haggard before their time. I found the reader at times exaggerated bit much. Another bucket list read checked off.

I have read and listened to The Virginian many times over my life. An essential story for every young man.

The greatest western of all time!
