  • The Castle of the Carpathians by Jules Verne

    The Castle of the Carpathians by Jules Verne
    Apr 17 2023

    This is a LibriVox public domain recording.

    The Castle stood above the quiet little town for as long as folks remembered: barren, deserted, lonely and frightening to the townsfolk. Until one day, smoke began to ascend from the dunjon. They were warned not to go near, and when intrepid souls dared to venture to uncover the mystery of the ruined castle, they learned firsthand what supernatural terrors await inside The Castle of the Carpathians. Summary by Joseph DeNoia.

A slow walk to the Bull Fights

I narrator's voice, I feel, complements the material very well. He felt like one of the listless characters in the story trying to find excitement in life and so added to that angle of the story. If it were a more exciting book I might feel it was poor, but for this story it added quite a bit. Still, I could see it being done better, hence 4 stars.
Overall, I think it's a good story for someone in their mid-20's mid-30's or even 40 or early 50's to read. Someone of an age where you can learn something from the book about life.
I also think it would be interesting to watch modern-day influencers react to the story since I feel you could tell this story with them as well. Actually, thinking on it, the show White Lotus is kind of similar.
