Orlando Furioso


Gelesen von Thomas A. Copeland

(4.4 stars; 12 reviews)

Charlemagne's nephew Orlando (AKA Roland) is driven insane by the infidelity of his beloved Angelica. Angelica's relationship with him and others loosely unifies multiple story lines to produce a rich tapestry of romance, fictionalized history, and pure fantasy. This romance-epic is a sequel to the less distinguished and unfinished romance Orlando Innamorato, by Mattteo Maria Boiardo. (Summary by Thomas A. Copeland) (28 hr 25 min)

400 Years Before Barsoom


(5 stars)

Edgar Rice Burroughs' exhilarating blend of adventure, fantasy, romance, and satire is still going strong after 100 years, and the same can be said for this even richer, more scintillating, sensuous, intricate, and hilarious counterpart from 400 years before that. It would be wonderful to have an audio book of Barbara Reynolds' magisterial verse translation of Ariosto performed by some superbly accomplished British narrator (say Anton Lesser), but to have this LibriVox version of Sir John Harington's translation is pretty darn wonderful in itself. Harington wrote only a few decades after Ariosto, in that astonishing efflorescence of English poetry that also produced Shakespeare, while Thomas A. Copeland has recorded for LibriVox not only several works by Harington's contemporaries but several of Burroughs' Barsoomian tales. There are more lapses in sound quality than in some of Copeland's other recordings, but like Harington (another dedicated and gifted amateur) he has outdone himself here. A treasure!

Superb reading


(4 stars)

I don't know where else one can hear this tale read. So I'm super grateful and pleased for the reading here, and also of other readings by this same reader... 4.5 stars, taking a half off for the sub-par sound quality at times.

Thanks much to the readers


(5 stars)

A real treasure. Top audio book at Librivox ( along with science fiction and Thomas Mallory. ) Keep at it. More Ludovico Ariosto . Read both in English and his original poetry

excellent


(5 stars)

Thomas Copeland is one of the best readers here. The only problem is that the sound quality is sometimes bad. But it's still worth listening to.
