The Yellow Wallpaper

De: Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Narrado por: John Lingua

Step into the peeling corners of a sunlit nursery where shadows weave stories, and the wallpaper whispers secrets to the solitary occupant. The Yellow Wallpaper is a haunting exploration of the fine line between reality and madness, told through the intimate, unraveling voice of a woman confined by both a stifling room and the suffocating norms of her time. In this groundbreaking work, Gilman transforms the mundane into the menacing, using the seemingly innocent patterns of wallpaper to reveal a tapestry of despair, resilience, and suppressed creativity.

A masterpiece of psychological horror and feminist literature, this story dissects the dark undercurrents of Victorian-era domestic life and its oppressive impact on women's mental health. It invites readers to question the cost of silence, the weight of societal expectations, and the transformative power of imagination in the face of isolation.

Whether you seek a spine-tingling Gothic tale or a profound commentary on gender and mental health, The Yellow Wallpaper beckons you to look closer—until you, too, can't look away.

Confused.

I’m so confused what just happened. The audio was not well spoken and left me more confused as he would repeat words cause he had read them wrong. Could’ve been better!

Great book, bad audiobook

The reader is not great and it really took away from the story. Just read this one on your own.

Impact still lingers

I first read The Yellow Wallpaper as a young girl in high school, and now, 30 years later, its impact still lingers. Over the years, I’ve often thought about its powerful portrayal of mental health particularly postpartum depression as the protagonist struggles in isolation after having a baby. The way the yellow walls become a symbol of her confinement, almost a jail cell, is haunting and deeply symbolic. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s story remains a chilling and important exploration of the way women’s mental health was misunderstood and dismissed. A truly unforgettable read.
