A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short story, "The Poor Traveller", by Charles Dickens - complete with sounds and visuals.
"The Poor Traveller" tells the story of a fictional relative of Dickens himself; a down-on-his-luck young soldier by the name of Richard Doubledick. Doubledick manages, with the help of a trustworthy Captain, to rebuild his faltering life and becomes something of a national treasure in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars.
The story originally featured as one part of a collection of stories entitled "The Seven Poor Travellers", which featured contributions from various authors including Wilkie Collins, Eliza Lynn and Dickens himself. It made its first appearance in Household Words magazine in 1854.
Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution.
Read by Elliot Fitzpatrick.

  • I never read Dickens until I retired. I saw several versions of The Christmas Carol and the movie, A Tale of Two Cities. They seemed okay. However, when I read these stories. I was amazed by his craftsmanship and his beautifully conceived stories. He is now one of my favorite authors. This story, so beautifully narrated, added to my favorable impressions of Mr.Dickens. Thank you for this.

    • @@classicaudiobookswithelliot hi E, the Dean of Canterbury did a live reading of 🎨TPP 3 years ago (if you didn’t already know). Endearing to see!- but I’d still like to hear your version. A tale of such haunting beauty and convoluted wonder. At the point where he gets stranded, it starts to feel like a shaggy-dog story, funny- then one is promptly thrown into unfolding layers of the uncanny. Loved it for 20 years, don’t understand why it’s so overlooked. I look forward to checking out your offerings.📚

  • Thank you, this is another Charles Dickens short story that was hitherto unfamiliar to me. I wonder if anyone with better historical knowledge than mine can enlighten me on the last remark about the sons Doubledick and the French officer fighting side-by-side? Does anyone know which conflict Dickens was referring to? (If he had lived 50 years later, I would have thought he meant WW1!)

    @katyvdb5993@katyvdb5993 Жыл бұрын

    • Thank you for listening, Katy. It’s a really lovely story, similar to his redemption tales more well known to us, but without the supernatural element. Incidentally I believe the conflict which the sons would have fought in was probably the Crimean War (1853-1856) as allies against Russia.
