【實用書籍app】Wild Child (by T.C. Boyle)|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

WILD CHILD (unabridged), read by the author, T.C. Boyle, was produced by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see below for features list).The fourteen stories in this rich new collection display T. C. Boyle’s astonishing range and imaginative muscle. The title story, a powerfully original retelling of the story of Victor, the feral boy who was captured running naked through the forests of Napoleonic France, is a moving and magical investigation of what it means to be human. Other tales range from the drama of a man who spins Homeric lies in order to stop going to work, to that of a young woman who must baby-sit a $250,000 cloned Afghan, to the sad comedy of a child born to Mexican street vendors who are unable to feel pain.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. 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 same 5-star recording that is available through other retailers for higher prices.
