Benjamin Franklin The Autobiography 富兰克林自传

媒体关注与评论

From AudioFile  In the face of recent revisionist efforts to demean Franklin, it''s well to return to the most renowned of the Franklin biographies and winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize. There''s nothing extraordinary about the narration. Reader Patrick Cullen proceeds with clear enunciation at a steady pace, injects slight emotion in the few places where appropriate and generally delivers as straightforward a reading as one can expect. One never expects histrionics in a text such as this, and one is not disappointed here. The text itself is enriching and the presentation perfectly adequate. D.W.  (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine  --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.       LA Times  "The acting is superb."          Dick Richmond, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, October 19, 1997  "This well-known work by one of our nation''s founding fathers was certainly given to the right individual to narrate. Fredd Wayne, whose one-man show, "Benjamin Franklin, Citizen," has also been recorded by Audio Editions, seems to have captured Franklin''s persona."
