Histoire
At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

Histoire
One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Histoire
Promoted to the rank of Monsignor, Quixote and his friend Sancho, the ex-mayor of El Toboso and an avid Communist, set off on their travels in the rusty old car the call Rocinante. Together, they roam through modern-day Spain in a brilliant picaresque fable that, like Cervantes' classic, offers enduring insights into our life and times. Cyril Cusack reads Grahame Greene’s moving, hilarious novel about a Catholic priest and his friend, a Marxist mayor.

Histoire
Jean Swinney is a feature writer on a local paper, disappointed in love and - on the brink of 40 - living a limited existence with her truculent mother: a small life from which there is no likelihood of escape. When a young Swiss woman, Gretchen Tilbury, contacts the paper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to Jean to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud. But the more Jean investigates, the more her life becomes strangely (and not unpleasantly) intertwined with that of the Tilburys.

Histoire
Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Description
Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in over 50 years at his mother’s funeral. Soon after, she persuades Henry to abandon South wood, his dahlias and the Major next door to travel through Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay...
Accompanying his aunt, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society: mixing with hippies, war criminals and CIA men, as well as smoking pot, breaking all the currency regulations and eventually coming alive after a dull suburban life.

Un récit d'un autre temps toujours aussi palpitant. Très belle interprétation des différents personnages.
Enfin, un style littéraire très fluide qui porte le récit.

More please!
I've read this book many times, it being a personal favourite so I wasn't sure whether hearing it as well would add anything but I was wrong: Tim Piggott-Smith brought it all to life. I didn't want it to end. I'll be listening to this one again.

greene's worst novel?
I have read almost everything by Greene, most of it on Audiobooks, but this one severely taxed my patience. Greene seems to have padded this out ad nauseum, and if this is an attempt to write a "comic" novel, it fails wretchedly. Avoid this one like the plague --and read as many of the other Greenes as you can get your hands on--especially as Audiobooks, all of which are beautifully read.

Disappointing
The first section was for me, tedious and almost screamingly frustrating. Tim Pigott-Smith is a decent reader, so what is going on here for his narration to be so horrible?
Maybe this is an "interpretation"?
This audio almost went into the 'returns', and may still do so. Sometimes I do keep an awful audio because there is no other reader and if I try really hard I can enjoy the story.
What could be a light enjoyable listen, had become something other, hard work. As I am not a great fan of G G, I do worry I maybe missing something here. The Third Man was good, though it did take Orson Wells to reveal that to me. So was TP-S using the dreadful Jeeves persona to hide a great secret revelation about GG?
Well I think another narrator could do a better job on this story, and doubt there is a Damascus moment to be had.

A Joyful Journey
At the funeral of his mother Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager in his mid-50s, meets his aunt Augusta for the first time. With that not only the adventure of his so-far quite life, but a new, adventurous life starts for him.
In the first part of the novel he travels with his aunt into the realm of her past: Brighton, Paris and with the Orient-Express to Istanbul, Boulogne. Then the reality of his old, boring existence hits him and in part two he travels to her, up the La Plata River…
The book is tremendously funny and full of subtle humour. Thanks to the brilliant reading by Tim Pigott-Smith it is just a joy listening to the tale because all the characters come to life with their distinct accents and mannerisms.

Unterwegs mit Tante
Das buch ist was betagt, genau wie Tante Augusta Bertram in diese Geschichte, aber eine sehr schöne Geschichte. Wir Lernen Henry Pulling kennen, ein Früh-Rentner der als ehemalige Bankdirektor (von eine kleine Filiale in der Provinz) ein sehr langweiliges gleich wie gediegenes leben fuhrt.
Er lernt bei der Einäscherung seiner geliebter Mutter seine exzentrische Tante Augusta kennen. Es dauert nicht lange und sein Langweiliges leben wird aufgeschreckt von Drogenschmuggel und Polizei. Er geht auf Reise mit seine Tante und wir landen in Paris, Osteuropa des kalten Kriegs und Istanbul. Im Orient Express raucht er zum ersten mal Grass. Er lernt seine Tante wircklich kennen und staunt ueber ihr sehr abenteuerliches Leben. Kriegsverbrecher, Schmuggel, Betrug und vieles mehr in diesen klassiker von Graham Greene. Absolut Hörenswert!

Exquisitely Entertaining!
A wonderful tale, part comedy, part spy thriller, but foremost a personal travelogue of man's search for his own purpose.

Both told and read beautifully, with virtuosity and subtlety. Tim Pigott-Smith masters the very sophisticated traditional english manner of speaking as well as the various idioms in a way that makes one grin
several times every hour of this book.
