The Watsons (FULL Audio Book)
by Jane Austen (1775 -- 1817)
This fragment of a novel was written by Jane Austen in 1804 and remained untitled and unpublished until her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh printed it in his A Memoir of Jane Austen in 1871. The title is from him.
Mr Watson is a widowed clergyman with two sons and four daughters. The youngest daughter, Emma, has been brought up by a wealthy aunt and is consequently better educated and more refined than her sisters. But when her aunt contracts a foolish second marriage, Emma is obliged to return to her father's house. There she is chagrined by the crude and reckless husband-hunting of two of her twenty-something sisters.
(Summary from Gesine and Wikipedia)

Isn't it crazy that these 200 yr old books are still so relevant today?? I can't imagine having such an amazing writing gift and wo derful insight. I recommend all high-schoolers, and older, read every one.

Even at Charle’s young age, ? 11-14 years, perhaps… (as young boys and men were then allowed more freedoms than were young women!) had the perfect honest quick reply to the witch, than had he been older, he might have chosen to filter!

@kattkatt744 2 года назад

It was begun and abandoned by Austen in 1804. As she both reworked previously written works and wrote new ones after this it was obviously a story she did not feel was interesting enough to tell.

@josephinemarchnfanymagalar7601 Год назад

At 19th century, it was a dangerous job because there was so little hygiene information and anatomic information. So many patient died at that time, and surgeons got sick because of lack of hygiene. Of course if they were at this century, they wanna take him to their daughter as soon as possible. 😂

The reading is always directed by a director I don't know if that is true to this production. The reader is like an actor to be directed as the 'frount man'

All Librivox recordings are a real drag. The repetition of all the whole details at every chapter!!!!!!!!!

@motorcop505 7 лет назад

javamann1000 Seriously? Of all the things you have to be thankful for with Librivox's thousands of free audiobooks, you have to whine about their announcement at the beginning that the recording is from Librivox.org, the narrator's name, and the fact that all of their recordings are in the public domain - information that typically lasts less than 30 seconds! Are you fucking kidding me? GTFO! You are too much if a selfish piece of shit if you can't handle such a simple announcement, especially since it gives the reader an opportunity to give his or her name so as to get credit for their FREE/PRO BONO performance! You are so typical of the effete, spoiled, stupid, pussified milleneals of today. Just GTFO. What a total dickhead you are.

Javamann. I agree , its not the narrators fault , just the organisation. Its reasonable to do it once , not every chapter. Its weird. One recording i gave up on because it was so irritating.K

@lorrainethomson8994 3 года назад

Do Librivox actually have their narrators audition? Terrible to listen to, which is the general way with Librivox What a waste of time Because the speech impediment, mainly pronouncing R as W, completely makes the narrators speech difficult to understand Also very, very boring tone You tried So respect for that

@margaretpiddock455 3 года назад

Dull....depressingi is the word i would use. You can see that its jane Austens work, but there was no joy or character in the reading. Must try it again with a different narrator, hope it puts a smile on my face.

This is crap. Never would have guessed it's Jane Austen, although it does have the upcoming social function that is endlessly blabbed about--obligatory in a Jane Austen novel.
