About this listen

En 1833 Musset rencontre George Sand, avec qui il entretiendra une relation passionnelle et tumultueuse, source d'une grande inspiration créatrice. De fait, la douleur est au centre de la créativité de l'auteur, et la souffrance vive qu'il ressent pendant sa relation avec Sand et à la suite de leur séparation lui inspirera plusieurs chefs-d'œuvre.

La Confession d'un enfant du siècle naît dans ce contexte en 1836, œuvre entre fiction et autobiographie, elle rend compte de trois ans de la vie du jeune Octave, entre débauche, amour fou et désillusion, et permet à Musset de placer sa vie et ses souffrances au coeur de sa verve lyrique.

I listened to every minute of this because I have an interest in 19th century French literature, but anyone who likes to have enjoyable audible experiences will despise the robotic narration. I’m half tempted to believe this was a computer-generated voice who inflected the text with no sensibility or taste. Truly awful. However. The book is interesting because it captures a type of story and type of thematic that is going to be (more masterfully) depicted in Madame Bovary or Ana Karenina. Listen only if you don’t have time to read on paper. Good book, terrible narration.

Horrendous narration of a historically interesting “novel”
