The Thirty-Nine Steps - FULL Audio Book - by John Buchan -Richard Hannay's boredom is soon relieved when the resourceful engineer is caught up in a web of secret codes, spies, and murder on the eve of WWI. This exciting action-adventure story was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's 1939 classic film of the same name. John Buchan (1875-1940) was Governor General of Canada and a popular novelist. Although condemned by some for anti-Semitic dialog in The Thirty-Nine Steps, his character's sentiments do not represent the view of the author who was identified in Hitler's Sonderfahndungsliste (special search list) as a "Jewish sympathiser." (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)

Hello guys! I am Brazilian and a beginner in learning English and would like to emphasize the importance of this work for a non-English speaking student. Listening to these books enables us to develop our listening, pronunciation and consequently our learning of the English language. I am grateful to the volunteers who participate in this work and I congratulate everyone for making their time and their lives available to so many people in different parts of the world that they will never know.

What is it with you people who judge these readings so negatively ? Has someone strapped you to a chair and forced you to listen ? Are you a victim of literary waterboarding ?

@Muck006 8 лет назад

jay w I dont have the book (It isnt on Project Gutenberg). I dont have the recording equipment and wouldnt know how to do it. I dont have the time for it. Oh and I am not moaning, I am pointing out the flaws of this amateur reader.

@1celloheaven 8 лет назад

+Muck006 No offence intended but I see it like this : The reading is free...and you're absolute right...presented by an amateur. If you went to see a stage production of a play by the RSC you would expect a level of professional acting...anything less and you'd begrudge the price of your seat. If you went to see your local amateur dramatic society you would have expectations for sure but would not expect deep down that your local newsagent playing Hamlet would or could match a professional actor in Stratford on Avon...I'm sure nonetheless that you'd be kind in your critique. It isn't easy to deliver a whole book...quite an achievement in fact. Again you are also right in noting that this takes a lot of time. Yes the delivery is relatively monotone but it is very clear and to be fair it becomes markedly less monotone as it progresses. Ultimately we all have the choice of turning off and there are livelier readings available free I'm sure. I don't disagree with your critique but simply find it slightly unkind...thank goodness for free speech eh ! :)

@TinnyDee 6 лет назад

Yes, you CAN change the speed...but I PREFER the way it is. A VERY GOOD NARRATOR like this one, records more slowly and enunciates each word very clearly so that you CAN change the speed on it and it still sounds very good. Often times changing the speed makes them sound like munchkins and is difficult to understand the faster you make the speed. This narrator however sounds GREAT at many different speeds. That in itself is VERY rare and amazing and attests to how good he really is. I am like others here. I get tired of the thumbs down and the rude comments from people who have no idea the time, energy, money and multitudes of people required to put all of this together for free. For the LOVE of books and reading and then we get (probably) lazy dorks, living in their mothers basements, angry at their lives and wanting to take it out on any and every thing that has a platform for them to express it.

@seapoppy 8 лет назад

I like this guy voice. It not Hollywood and he is not a actor. He's reading a book! It was published in 1915 I think is reading as people might talk back then.

When I was a senior in high school we did The 39 Steps for one-act competition. I was Richard Hannay. We won State, GTC, 2nd at SETC. This was such a legendary show. My favorite moment will always be the moment toward the end when Hannay shouts as loud as he can at Mr Memory “What are the thirty nine steps?! Come on man! Answer up! WHAT ARE THE THIRTY NINE STEPS?” Awesome book. I heard he came up with the steps idea from a little girl counting steps

@johnbunyan5834 4 года назад

A few people say that this book is too long ! It is said that younger people ( and some older ) have a short attention span. If one like P G Wodehouse humour , try the Ian Yates uploads, read by Jonathon Cecil. Some approach 7 hours, and Piccadilly Jim takes over 8 hours. Just carefully save them and pick up again, later, like a real book. If these aren’t long enough , for you , try Audible’s ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ - 136 hours and 31 mins !

Do make sure you read Madeline Martin's The Librarian Spy but don't try doing that on the edge of your seat. If you are going to read nail biting thrillers about young women spies in the Second World War, make sure you are sitting comfortably. Mind you, I recall my librarian filed away Ben Macintyre’s WW2 espionage thriller Operation Mincemeat and Len Deighton’s Cold War classic Ipcress File as cook books. She even archived Mick Herron’s sardonic spy thriller Slow Horses next to George Orwell’s Animal Farm and filed Bill Fairclough’s espionage epic Beyond Enkription under cryptography before she completed her MI6 induction program. Of course, you may not know that Beyond Enkription features Sara Burlington who was a British spy in occupied France in World War 2 and in real life actually married the owner of an antiquarian bookshop; needless to say it was a front. It’s a must read for espionage cognoscenti just as The Librarian Spy is.

@alcabane3125 3 года назад

I finished the audiobook great book, i cant wait to watch its adaptations, I never read any of this authors work, other than this one what else has he done that should be read, im a big spy lover books and media, so i have to read this. i guess what other spy books has he done? Anyone liked the movies or shows that adapted this novel, calvin dyson reviewed it and that sparked my interest might have to see his review again, the author does look like ralph finnes, so if there is a biography in the works i can see him play him, i mean he is my favorite M after all, in some photographs of John Nuchan looks like M character in a way. or he should be in an adaptation of this novel in the future. Liked the video, and liked the voice of the guy reading.

Published in 1915 It was almost prophetic when Hitchcock produced 20 years later in 1935 . But then I think it was Patton said in 1918 at the Armistice that w/in 20 years there would be another war with Germany if they weren’t occupied (for you yung’ens who may not know. their history they weren’t occupied then)

You might be interested in a mystery crime story I've written, entitled HAZARD ON THE LOOSE - which can be found in a volume of my stories entitled SEVEN TALL TALES; available at Amazon as a book or kindle. It concerns a businessman, by the name of Jack Hazard, who breaks out of jail, with outside help, after serving five years of a fifteen year sentence. He had already promised to murder the four executives that he claimed had deliberately framed him up and saw him sentenced on entirely trumped up charges. One by one they are tracked down and murdered; until only two of the four remain. One of the remaining two hires the services of two private detectives, to add to the police protection he has already. Though it is assumed by most people that Hazard is the murderer the private detectives voice their doubts about this and reason that Hazard would be far too focused on keeping a low profile and avoiding recapture - as a large police force is dedicated to that purpose - to pursue some bizarre revenge vendetta. Will events prove them right? But if it isn't Hazard, then who is the actual killer? Could you guess? Happy listening, and reading.
