Thank you so much for this, Bruce Pirie. A Balzac I didn't know, and I thought your voice simply excellent, with the right amount of inflexion and intonation. Very listenable! I hope to find more...
I agree with you, and your comment said what I feel perfectly! It seems that Bruce Pirie reads most of Balzac’s novels on RU-vid Tube - and certainly if I discovered one with a different reader, I’d think twice about listening to it. He was made to read Balzac, and he does it in a sublime way.
I’m an avid fan of Mr. Pirie’s readings of Balzac’s novels. He makes it a sublime listening experience - so smooth and seamless, you forget you are listening to a reading.
Well read, well written tosh. Balzac's attempt at moneymaking checklist makes us moderns laugh, but... the genius of his writerly ability shines through.
