Sintesi dell'editore
This is a story from the More Classic American Short Stories collection.
Here are eight stories from master American writers of the 19th century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce - why is that window boarded up? - and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, but forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O. Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross.
Recensioni editoriali
"The Whirligig of Life", included in and excerpted from the collection More Classic American Short Stories, bears all the hallmarks of a classic O. Henry story, displaying his characteristic preoccupation with simple stories made memorable and meaningful by a sharp ironic twist resulting in a transformative conclusion.
Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross team up to present this engaging tale, with Liza Ross demonstrating particular strength in her performance. Ross’ voice is highly adaptable, and her acuity with accents, dialect, and vocal characterization contribute to the creation of a rich tapestry of sound, here, in which it is easy to find oneself enjoyably lost.
