【實用書籍app】Jacob's Room (by Virginia Woolf)|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

JACOB’S ROOM by Virginia Woolf (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below)."The coherence of the book is even more amazing than its beauty. In the stream of glittering similes, unfinished sentences, hectic catalogues, and unanchored proper names, we seem to be going nowhere. Yet the goal comes, the method and the matter prove to have been one, and looking back from the pathos of the closing scene, we see for a moment the airy drifting atoms piled into a colonnade." (E.M. Forester)Virginia Woolf’s impressionistic novel evokes the story of a man’s life through a montage of passing images, conversations, and stream-of-conscious monologue.Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices.

No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here. Nadia May reads Virginia Woolf's stream of consciousness…with such force and authority that gradually, in the poetry of these images, a character, albeit somewhat lost and stillborn, breaks through into a hollow world, exactly as Woolf intended.

Through a montage of passing images, conversations, and stream-of-consciousness monologue, it tells the story of Jacob Flanders, an idealistic young man attempting to reconcile his love of classical culture with the chaotic reality of contemporary society, against the turbulent background of World War I.
