Storia
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Storia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Storia
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Storia
Ebenezer Scrooge, ricco uomo d’affari, avaro ed egoista, odia tutte le festività, specialmente il Natale. Il fantasma del suo ex-socio, gli preannuncia la visita di tre spiriti, quello del Natale Passato, quello del Natale Presente e, infine, quello del Natale Futuro. I tre spettri accompagnano Scrooge in un viaggio nel tempo - ieri, oggi e domani - che sarà per il protagonista un’occasione di riflessione sul senso della vita e sull’importanza degli affetti.

Sintesi dell'editore
This version of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, masterfully narrated by Tim Curry, was available for a limited time last year, and now it's back. This one-of-a-kind performance puts a unique spin on a treasured classic, and served as the inspiration for the exciting new line of Audible Signature Classics, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with Elijah Wood, and Heart of Darkness with Kenneth Branagh. Tim Curry performs this timeless holiday story in a deliciously dark tone, returning it to its Dickensian roots with a vivid imagining of Victorian London and just the right touch of outrageous fun.
A Christmas Carol has constantly been in print since its original publication in 1849, and has been adapted for stage, television, film, and opera. It has often been credited with returning the jovial and festive atmosphere to the holiday season in Britain and North America, following the somber period that emerged during the Industrial Revolution.
The story opens on a bleak and cold Christmas Eve as Ebenezer Scrooge is closing up his office for the day. As the story progresses and Christmas morning approaches, Scrooge encounters the unforgettable characters that make this story a classic: Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and, of course, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
Recensioni editoriali
Renowned actor Tim Curry’s voice is warm, deep, and arch to the point of campiness. Curry is an actor’s actor. His voice is so distinctive as to be unmistakable. Fans of this Dickens classic will enjoy hearing Curry manifest the coterie of pithy characters that inhabit this novel, ranging from small boy to old man to dire ghost. Curry’s knowing tone suits this fable well. His dramatic but nuanced performance highlights the emotions of loss, fear, hope, and joy that inform this text. Curry takes delight in the macabre aspects of this gothic tale. His irreverent take on this famous novel heightens the drama even for listeners who know the story inside and out.

Straordinaria performance di un classico natalizio
Leggo sempre questa storia durante le feste di Natale, ormai è una,tradizione. in Ingleze o in italiano, e da quando ho scoperto gli audiolibri lo ascolto anche nelle diverse versioni. Questa di Tim Curry è davvero ben recitata (anche se la mia preferita in inglese rimane quella letta da Tom Baker). Una lettura di inizio anno propiziatoria, che mi mette sempre di buon umore. Ovviamente lo consiglio di cuore a tutti.

Wonderful!!!
I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about whether or not I would enjoy such an oft-told literary classic (and I have heard disappointing versions before), but Tim Curry's fantastic narration grabbed me right from the first minute and didn't let go until the end! The emotions of the characters and Dickens' humorous wit really come through in his compelling rendition. I didn't pause it once from start to finish. I laughed, I cried (well, just a little!), and I enjoyed it completely. Recommended!!!

Superb story and reading!
Although I've known the story of "A Christmas Carol" since I was a child, my knowledge of it came mostly from Mr Magoo and Disney; I had never actually read the book until now. This audio reading was a special treat: The story itself is excellent in all its descriptive detail, and Tim Curry does an outstanding job as the reader. There were many times I had to remind myself that all the characters were 'played' by one actor. Highly recommend listening to this book!

Riveting!
I've been completely enthralled by this audio book. It is so well done as to feel much more like a dramatic production than a simple narration. I'm not a great fan of Tim Curry normally, but his portrayals of Dicken's characters is full-hearted and spot-on (but not over the top or in any way goofy, which is what I had feared). Highly recommended.

Great reading!
Tim Curry is one of the last people I would have thought of in connection with "A Christmas Carol": my image of him is more the snivelling villain type, a kind of Uriah Heep. To my surprise, he does a bang-up job. The narration is clear and well-paced, and the characters are all given distinctive voices. Curry's reading of Scrooge himself is one of the best I've heard; and his Marley wheezes and gasps like a real ghost. (Not that I've ever actually encountered one outside this story.) Small things matter too: the five "staves" of the tale are labelled as such rather than being turned into "chapters" as on some other recordings.
I've built quite a collection of performances and adaptations of this tale over the years, starting with Mr Magoo. This version will definitely be one of the ones I return to in future.

Often Copied--Never Bettered
Like setting the star on top the tree, Christmas is complete when we've heard at least some version of Dickens's A Christmas Carol -- and as much as I've enjoyed every one of the many homages to Dicken's Carol, (from Alastair Sim to Mr. Magoo to Bill Murray to Scrooge McDuck) nothing warms the cockles like the original icy Scrooge..."tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner, hard and sharp as flint"... without Mr. Scrooge, there is something missing in Christmas. "Marley was dead..." those opening lines send shivers of memories and delight through me each year I hear them anew. Stupendous production, Curry's expressive and distinctive voice alone is an ensemble; for 3 1/2 hours I was as mesmerized as the first time I read the story. Dickens is always a favorite, but perhaps at his wisest and timeless best here.

Thank You!
I'm already a fan of Charles Dickens, and of A Christmas Carol--unabridged edition. The whole book has so much heart and detail that can never fit into even the best movie version. I'm also a big fan of other readings of this book. But Tim Curry did a wonderful job. His rattling voice of Jacob Marley is not to be missed, plus he brought out the humorous parts very well. Thank you, Audible, for this wonderful gift!

Can't Imagine a December without Ebenezer Scrooge
I absolutely love Dickens. This is one of those stories where it has moved almost into the soul and center of Christmas. Dickens' style is sharp, his wit is evident, and the story flows like a crisp, step waterfall. I could imagine a December without Ebenezer Scrooge, like I could imagine a December without lights, peppermint, Nativity scenes or Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas'. This was the first year I shared the story with my kids and they enjoyed it as much as I did.

Wonderful story, disappointing narration
I reread A Christmas Carol every year, watch several TV/movie adaptations and listen to the audiobook as part of my December ritual. Ordinarily, I like Tim Curry's voice, both in film and on other audiobooks. However, with this production, while he does lend a nice, subtle darkness to the reading, he pauses at awkward moments, which interrupts the flow of the story. Jim Dale does a much better job reading A Christmas Carol. Audible, unfortunately, does not have that version for sale, but it is worth seeking elsewhere.

BRILLIANT
It sounds a bit cheesy to say it but this was brilliant. Curry has brilliant tone in his narration and the story passes easy to the ear. You may think you know this story - but how well I would ask? I had never actually read the book but knew the story from TV adaptations. They do not do it justice. I saw the 3D movie Christmas 2009 and then downloaded this free book and was so pleased I did. I think you will not only be pleased you did, but start to wonder about other Dickens novels as well - I know I did.

a classic narrated superbly
I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Tim Curry, but having received a version with Tom Baker I originally decided not to go through with my order for this.
I listened to the Baker version and was truly disappointed. I have always found that the words of this story stand by themselves with no need for the assistance of mood music and sound effects. The inclusion of which spoilt the Tom Baker narration for me so this week I went for this one.
I started listening, hoping that the same thing had not been done; and to my relief I found it was a clean narration, with good pronunciation.
This is a superbly narrated classic and well worth your consideration. I am so incredibly happy that I purchased this.

It was very good
I've seen the story too many times on TV and hate the story, but some how this was really good. I don't know how but the TV adaptations are just cheesy, but this was emotionally engaging, I think because it was the story as told by Charles Dickens and not reinterpreted it was able to keep closer to its original meanings and flavours. It made the story actually fun again. Scrooge has come to mean miserliness when, if the story is effective (as I believe this one is) it should mean generosity and benevolence.
