From AudioFile

This production of Fraser's 1969 adventure/satire featuring the roguish, Victorian soldier, Harry Flashman, is a first-person narrative which just asks to be read aloud. Complemented by a flawless narration, today's reading makes Flashman as politically incorrect as he was originally intended to be during the Victorian era--and that may cause offense. But this story of England's efforts to influence Afghanistan in the 1840's is both good history and good storytelling. Ranging his voice from barroom banter to confidential softness, Timothy West creates the voice of a true raconteur. He also perfectly captures the Indian, British, Afghani and Scottish accents of his characters. Sure to be a hit. S.K.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Whatever Became Of..., Déc 9 2009
Par Dave_42 "Dave_42" (Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
... the school bully? George MacDonald Fraser (April 2nd, 1925 - January 2nd, 2008) answers that question for one of the most famous bullies in literature. "Flashman" is the book which kicks off the series of books in which Fraser lets us know what happened next in the life of the Bully from Thomas Hughes' "Tom Brown's Schooldays". Harry Paget Flashman is the anti-hero of this series of books, and it all starts here as Flashman takes up the narrative, after correcting Hughes on one important manner and proceeds to tell the story of the rest of his life. This volume, the first of "The Flashman Papers" series, deals with the years 1839 - 1842 and takes us from dealing with being kicked out of Rugby through his service in the first Anglo-Afghan War.

Fraser does a wonderful job of taking Thomas Hughes' school bully and creating a life consistent with someone who never grows out of the same type of behavior. The narrative is humorous and from a character perspective open and honest, as who would know better than Harry Flashman the cowardly actions he takes throughout his life, and the undeserved rewards which he is given. The key to the story though is that Fraser is true to the character as defined by Hughes. Although certainly a despicable character, he does have the ability to use his charm, and he has an incredible amount of luck which prevents most people from finding out his serious deficiencies of character.

One fairly minor point which detracts slightly from the overall effort is that there are a few too many references back to Hughes. It suits its purpose well at the start of the book, but becomes unnecessary and in some cases interrupts the narrative when it occurs later in the book. This minor deficiency is more than made up for in the artful historical lessons, complete with footnotes, which Fraser teaches in the telling of the story. The reader is having enough fun that they fail to realize that they are getting a fairly decent description of historical events and key figures in the disastrous result of the British Army's occupation of Kabul.

If you enjoy history, and don't mind reading from the perspective of a despicable character, and perhaps occasionally rooting for him, then "Flashman" may be a good choice for you. I am looking forward to reading his continuing adventures in "Royal Flash", the second book in the series. This one rounds up to five stars.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Unusual(the hero is an anti-hero), entertaining, ribald tale, Fév 27 2004
Par Michael Kelly (San Diego, California United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flashman from the Flashman Papers 1839-1842 (Audio Cassette)
I picked up the audio version of this book at the library and found I was forced to listen to one tape after another, I just couldn't stop listening.

As other reviewers have noted it is, for modern times, a politically incorrect tale with racial and sexual descriptions, language and actions that will offend some. But on the whole it comes off very well, especially when considering that the 'hero' is really an anti-hero. And that his thoughts and actions can be viewed as a parody of the self-serving, self-interested and self-promoting individual (or something like that).

Anyway, it is a worthwhile, entertaining story and the reading (of the audio version) by West is excellent.

5.0étoiles sur 5 the best of Flashman, Nov. 21 2001
Par Kay Cee "kc" (Somerville, Massachusetts United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Flashman: A Novel (Paperback)
This is the first and the best of the Flashman series. I first read this book back in 1990 and it combines history with a good dash of humor. George MacDonald Fraser brings the British Empire and the men who made it to life. Typical of some the comments in the book is when Brigadier Shelton comments on his Commander-in Chief shooting himself in the arse, " no doubt in an attempt to blow his brains out. He couldn't have missed by much" I definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Unfortunately the Flashman series got a bit stale with the years. The only one worth reading after this is Flashman and the great game.
