Behind every famous man is a great woman - and from the quick-tongued Mrs Darwin to the lascivious Frau Freud, from the adoring Queen Kong to the long-suffering wife of the devil himself, each one steps from her counterpart's shadow to tell her side of the story in this irresistible collection.

Histoire
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Histoire
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Histoire
Innovative, startlingly perceptive and aglow with colour, these 15 stories were written towards the end of Katherine Mansfield's tragically short life. Many are set in the author's native New Zealand, others in England and the French Riviera. All are revelations of the unspoken, half-understood emotions that make up everyday experience - from the blackly comic 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' and the short, sharp sketch 'Miss Brill', in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed, to the vivid impressionistic evocation of family life in 'At the Bay'.

Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour, and wit.

He’s certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer’s letter is about to prove.

Way better as an audiobook
- Écrit par : Friot Clara le 03/05/2019
Description
A collection of short stories, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories was first published in 1979 and awarded the Cheltenham Festival Literary Prize.
This Audible exclusive adaptation is narrated by legendary actors, Richard Armitage and Emilia Fox, who take on different chapters of the audiobook. Among these are 'The Bloody Chamber', 'The Courtship of Mr Lyon', 'The Tiger's Bride', 'Puss in Boots', 'The Erl-King', 'The Snow Child', 'The Lady of the House of Love', 'The Werewolf', 'The Company of Wolves' and 'Wolf-Alice'.
About the book
The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories is a titillating series of dark, sensual and fantastical stories, inspired by well-known fairy tales and folklore.
Dissatisfied with the unrealistic portrayal of women in these legendary fables, Carter turns them on their head, introducing subversively dark, sensual and gothic narratives.
Breathing new and unexpected life into favourite childhood characters such as Red Riding Hood, Bluebeard and Beauty and the Beast, Carter shocks, seduces and amuses the listener with her unique, iconic and surrealist reimagining.
About the author
Angela Carter was born in 1940, in Sussex. She grew up in the shabbily respectable south London district of Balham, the second child of an eccentric journalist father and a neurotic housewife mother.
She studied English at Bristol University before travelling, teaching and writing numerous best-selling novels. They have all received critical acclaim and remain firm favourites of modern English literature.
Angela was a feminist throughout her life, wrote for Spare Rib magazine and voted Labour. Her novels are wholly reflective of her world views and continue to inspire new generations of men and women worldwide.
About the narrator
Best known for his roles in The Hobbit, Hannibal, Captain America, Robin Hood, Spooks and North and South, Richard Armitage has established himself as one of the greatest British actors of our time.
With 14 audiobooks under his belt, including David Hewson's Romeo and Juliet: A Novel and Georgette Heyer's Venetia, Richard's story telling abilities have not gone unnoticed. In 2014, he was merited with having narrated the Audiobook of the Year, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel.
Emilia Fox is an English actress who has starred as Dr Nikki Alexander on BBC Crime drama, Silent Witness, since 2004. Her other TV and film credits include Merlin, Pride and Prejudice, The Pianist, The Casual Vacancy and Inside No. 9.
Also no stranger to audiobook productions, Emilia delivers a myriad of powerhouse performances such as in Philippa Gregory's The White Queen, Muriel Spark's The Complete Short Stories, and Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey.

Fairy tales by Angela Carter
Based mostly on popular tales, these pieces are mostly Gothic or macabre with an air of melancholy. The one exception explodes with an eclat of ribaldry, brilliantly performed by Richard Armitage. Emilia Fox is seductively smooth.

Surprised myself
I don't usually go in for this genre, but the promise of outstanding performances by the narrators led me to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. Probably not fully won over either, but it was a good use of a credit for "Puss-N-Boots" alone. I laughed out loud repeated as the story unfolded in such an amazing retelling. That Richard Arnitage was having such an obviously wonderful time with the story was the best part. His voice tone for each character were delightful and I know I will return to listen again and again. The dark nature of the other tales demanded you ask some hard questions of your own morals and worldview. I found that challenging and even uncomfortable at times. Congratulations to Audible for another successful audio-book and to Ms. Fox and Mr. Armitage for their brilliant work.

Richard Armitage should read everything
And if there was ever a female narrator on par with him, in terms of sheer sensuality, it is certainly Emilia Fox. (Davina Porter is similarly talented in this regard). Now, if only this were my bag. Most of these stories were too visceral for my taste. The writing is excellent, but for me, a bit too disturbing. Except for the Puss in Boots story and the Beauty and the Beast story. Those were my speed; the former being laugh out loud funny and the latter being quite chaste and beautifully told.

Lush prose and narration
"Lush". That was my immediate thought as I was listening to these reimagined fairy tales. These are not for children; there is lots of blood and animalistic behavior, all described vividly but with subtlety ( no, that's not contradictory, as you will hear when you listen). The narration is just wonderful by both narrators. The first (4) stories are the best.

Unnerving Start, Satisfying Finish
The first of these stories crossed a line I didn't quite like. Bluebeard's chamber, in Angela Carter's world, is removed of mystery and overflowing with gore. The end of this chapter, though, was so excellent, and so incongruously amusing, that against my earlier judgment I continued with chapter two.
What followed was a plunge into chill and heat by turns. The writing is so intense throughout the book, that I could smell the earth of the Erl King's den, hear the congregation chant as the widowed groom prepares his silver bullet, and see the pool of blood in the forest snow.
After the truly grim first story, with its mix of musky sex and metallic brutality, my enjoyment of this collection was unalloyed. It's beautifully balanced between suspense and certainty, and fully delivers on the promise of all short stories to twist the ending into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
As if all that were not enough for one audiobook, Emilia Fox and Richard Armitage provide flawless narration and perfect pacing.
One note...these were published in 1979: do any other readers recognize what might well have been the original Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation?

A bit uneven
A few of the stories really dragged for me, while others were very good. Puss in Boots was so much fun and so delightfully performed by Richard Armitage that I immediately hit replay and listened to it a second time.

Not for Me
Full disclosure: horror is not really my genre so I probably was not going to fall in love with this collection of short stories based on children's fairy tales but retold with a feminist bent. Mostly, I found them uneven -- there were some I loved ("The Bloody Chamber, "Puss-in-Boots," "The Courtship of Mr. Lyon") but others ("The Snow Child," "The Werewolf") left me cold.
I was enticed to listen by the promise of another great performance by Richard Armitage, who is a favorite narrator. And, he did not disappoint: his narration of "Puss-in-Boots" is truly wonderful. In addition, Emilia Fox's narration of the opening story, "The Bloody Chamber," is also excellent. But I couldn't wait until I finished these stories.
The book just wasn't for me.

Nuanced 5-star narration of masterful storyteller
What did you love best about The Bloody Chamber?
Its rich prose and sensual subtlety.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bloody Chamber?
The moment when the gorish contents locked up in The Bloody Chamber were revealed was one of the most shocking.
Which character – as performed by Richard Armitage and Emilia Fox – was your favorite?
The feline in Puss-in-boots. It was the perfect vehicle to make Mr Armitage's vocal and acting range shine.
Any additional comments?
This project’s such a vast improvement on the trashy pseudo-erotica novel Audible had him record for them last January. Now, THIS is a female author worthy of his talent as a narrator.
And, boy, did he savour each expertly chosen word the way the refined palate of a gourmand pays homage to a gifted chef’s masterpiece! If there was ever any doubt that British English is THE accent to enjoy Richard’s voice and acting talent in all its glory, this work provides ample proof he’s never sounded better than in his homeland’s careful diction and beautiful musicality.
Emilia got to read the longest tales. However, I believe that the selection Richard was assigned was the most suitable to be read by a male. What's more, his masterful and nuanced reading and the quality of the prose definitely make up for the brevity of his performance.
I confess I couldn’t curb my impatience and skipped Emilia’s stories to get to Richard’s first. And now that I’ve relished these first delicious courses, I’m off to savour the rest.
This is definitely a book and rendition deserving of multiple listenings.
Fingers crossed Audible keeps giving Mr. Armitage material of this stature.

Sick, Twisted Fairy Tales
I usually love alternate tellings of fairy tales. This book-not so much. I didn’t realize it was written in 1979 until after I had finished it (that’s usually the second or third thing I look at, after title and author; somehow skipped over it on this one). That explained a lot to me as far as the weird sexual stuff. I found her writing a bit similar to that of Richard Matheson in Hell House. Both, a reflection of that period in time as far as the sexual climate. Not my cup of tea. However, a couple of Carter’s stories in this collection were pretty good.
The Bloody Chamber – A good start. Child bride discovers the dark secret kept by her new husband. Satisfying ending.
The Courtship of Mr. Lyon – Re-telling of Beauty and the Beast. I didn’t hate it.
The Tiger’s Bride – Another re-telling of Beauty and the Beast. I appreciated the fact that the father was painted as the low life scum that he was; I mean what kind of man gambles away his child? But the end was long, drawn out and a little confusing. However, a nice twist from the Disney version.
Puss in Boots – One of the best of this collection, in my opinion. Although a very adult version.
The Erl King – I have no idea what this was about. So wordy and so confusing.
The Snow Child – This story alone convinced me to never read another work by Angela Carter. It’s a story of a necrophiliac pedophile that apparently lives happily ever after. Who would write such horrible things? What would be the purpose? And who in their right mind would enjoy reading it, or take anything away from it other than a horrible, sick feeling? What was Carter thinking? I had a hard time even continuing on after this one.
The Lady of the House of Love – Vampire story with a very different kind of ending (although she took foreeeeever to get there!)
The Werewolf – Re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood.
The Company of Wolves – Ms. Carter dabbles in beastiality in this one, making sure she covers all the sick, twisted bases.
Wolf-Alice – I was so over this book at this point, none of it made sense, and I just wanted to be done.
The only redeeming qualities of this book were the narrators.
