![]() ![]() ![]() For the first time ever, she ahas asked for a story to be switched off! When you consider some of the other Audible titles and the production that goes into them (the How to Train Your Dragin titles spring to mind), would hiring a narrator from the country where a book is set be such a hardship? If not, why not read the story in a neutral accent? It wouldn't lose anything in the reading and would be better than the unappealing dross that they have produced for Snow Spider. This story quickly becomes a chore to listen to, which is a shame as it was bought for my daughter to listen to when we are in the car. I found myself laughing at every new crap Welsh accent as they sauntered from Caernarfon to Calcutta via Cardiff. The narrator's accent jumps wildly between a poor attempt at a south wales lilt to something akin to the fake Indian accents last heard on Carry on up the Khyber! There is no continuity and all the characters are made to sound stupid by the lack of ability of the narrator to stick to one accent. ![]() I have loved this story since childhood, and find myself bitterly dissapointed in this rendition! The narraton of this story is beyond abysmal! The story is set in Wales, so you'd think that finding a narrator who is even somewhat capable of reading in a Welsh accent would have been a consideration for the production team. ![]() Brilliant story destroyed by poor narration! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Black people had faced severe and violent discrimination since the Civil War, as well as segregation since the late nineteenth century.

At the university, he joined a student club, named Lese- und Redehalle der Deutschen Studenten, which organized literary events, readings, and other activities. This study offered a range of career possibilities, which pleased his father, and required a longer course of study that gave Kafka time to take classes in German studies and art history. Kafka first studied chemistry at the Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague but after two weeks switched to law. Later, Kafka acquired some knowledge of the French language and culture from Flaubert, one of his favorite authors. His stories include "The Metamorphosis" (1912) and " In the Penal Colony" (1914), whereas his posthumous novels include The Trial (1925), The Castle (1926) and Amerika (1927).ĭespite first language, Kafka also spoke fluent Czech. ![]() People consider his unique body of much incomplete writing, mainly published posthumously, among the most influential in European literature.
