À propos de ce contenu audio

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Beach by Alex Garland, read by Alfie Allen.

The classic story of paradise found - and lost.

Richard lands in East Asia in search of an earthly utopia. In Thailand, he is given a map promising an unknown island, a secluded beach - and a new way of life. What Richard finds when he gets there is breathtaking: more extraordinary, more frightening than his wildest dreams.

But how long can paradise survive here on Earth? And what lengths will Richard go to in order to save it?

Commentaires

A gripping adventure, and a fascinating jigsaw

Fresh, fast-paced, compulsive and clever (Nick Hornby)

A white-knuckle ride into the heart of darkness

Lord of the Flies and The Magus lurk at the roots of this novel, but Garland reshapes them with panache into something terrifyingly new

A mesmerising, knuckle-clenching read

Winningly compulsive, brilliantly conceived

Garland's prose is stunningly lucid. Addictive and compelling

A highly confident debut...this incisive novel may well come to be regarded as a defining text in the history of imaginative travel writing

Alex Garland is writing a brand new kind of adventure novel. His style is dangerously simple yet altogether captivating (Douglas Rushkoff)

An exceptional first novel...An action novel that provokes subtle responses, The Beach takes in ideas about man's inevitable progress from noble savage to social breakdown (and) the related tradition of nature versus art

Alfie Allen!! Aka Theon Greyjoy? What a job narrating this stunner of a book! I saw the Danny Boyle movie back when I was a teen, didn’t realize it’s based on a book till recently. So, I thought I’d give it a try but wasn’t prepared for this. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and looking forward to more narration work from Mr. Allen. He is a great actor but he should quit acting and just focus on narration if you ask me. 😉

The best narration ever!
